MCV Zelda 25th Anniversary Special (7 November 2011)

A special (unnumbered) 20-page promotional issue of MCV created alongside Nintendo to commemorate the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda and the upcoming release of Skyward Sword.

A digital export of this issue with low quality images (a 2.7MB PDF) has been available since the publisher released it in 2011, but this is likely the first scan of a rare physical copy.

In this issue:

• The favourite Zelda series moments of British games journalists and other figures from the trade...
• ...as well as the staff from Nintendo's UK office, of whom we seldom hear. Even Nintendo's managers have played Zelda.
• An interview with Zelda Williams on her history with the series and her fantasy movie casting for Link.
• An interview with Nintendo's Roger Langford on the 25th anniversary celebrations and the marketing push for Skyward Sword.
• A photo gallery of the 2011 UK Zelda tour and London Philharmonic anniversary concert.

(Note that the front and back cover designs used a reflective gold ink—see photo above—that has scanned poorly.)
