Link sets out to rescue Termina from a possessed tribal child and an evil celestial body in what is possibly his darkest quest ever...

We reported last week that Nintendo's critically acclaimed sequel to Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, would be receiving a Virtual Console release in Japan during April.

Nintendo of Europe have confirmed that Majora's Mask is out right now for the Virtual Console in Europe and Australia, and will set you back 1,000 Nintendo Points. If you haven't already helped Link in his quest to save the citizens of Termina from certain destruction, now would be the time to jump right in!

The Nintendo DSi firmware update which will activate the DSi Shop is also expected to go live at midnight, bringing with it six hot new downloadable games and applications.

Expect a probably glowing review of Majora's Mask from Sam in VC Weekly #91. In the meantime, check out VC Weekly #90 for the retro reviewer's verdict on the first batch of Arcade games.

Thanks to N-Europe reader Gavin Rozee and forumites Ike and david.dakota for the tip!
