Two new retro titles are available for download today on Wii's Virtual Console! The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, originally developed for the N64 and Kid Icarus, the platforming game that made its debut on the NES, are the two titles to arrive in Europe.

Zelda : The Ocarina of Time

Ocarina of Time is a 3-D third-person adventure game which takes place in the fictional kingdom of Hyrule. Hyrule takes the form of a large, fully connected overworld containing several dungeons — large self-contained areas with a single entrance in the overworld. Within most dungeons, Link must battle and puzzle his way through, finding items such as a Dungeon Map and Compass to aid him.

Kid Icarus

A number of people have compared Kid Icarus as a fusion of The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and Metroid, stating that the main character Pit can "jump like Mario, collect items like Zelda, and shoot enemies like Metroid." Casting our minds back to the 80's we seem to remember it was like Metroid, but not as good.

Zelda will cost you the princely sum of 1000 Wii points and Kid Icarus will knock you for 500 points.
