There's no word on whether the EU eShop will also play host to an early release.
As well as HD graphics and a tuned-up game experience, the title will support off-TV GamePad play and Miiverse functionality.
Nintendo has also added a new 'Hero mode' to the game, which is essentially a harder difficulty setting, upping the challenge for players who want enemy encounters to be more perilous.
Nintendo of America announced earlier today that the game will be packed into a special Zelda Wii U premium bundle for £249.99 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/426810/wii-u-price-cut-in-north-america-wind-waker-hd-hardware-bundle-announced/), along with confirming plans to cut the Wii U's price by $50.
