Nintendo just dropped the mega-ton bomb. This morning, reports came in that the European virtual console was updated today with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Well, according to their latest press release, the US will receive Ocarina of Time as well come Monday.

One amazing thing is that even though this is a “high-quality” N64 title, Ocarina of Time will only cost 1000 Wii Points ($10). Now that’s a bargain!
