with no mention of whether I'll get the bonus disc or not.

I only ordered it on 1st March, so maybe I got there too late. :?
I've just checked my order and it now says "On Order". :?

No word from DVDBO e-mail yet either. :?

Regarding the bonus disc...
Nintendo Australia wrote:Nintendo Australia is pleased to confirm that, for a limited time, The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker™ will include a limited edition two game Bonus Disc when it launches in early May.

This limited offer will give Zelda® fans the opportunity to play the full version of The Legend of Zelda®: Ocarina of Time™ and the never-before-released The Legend of Zelda®: Ocarina of Time™ Master Quest.

A staggering 560,000 copies of The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker™ have been pre-sold in the United States with two weeks to go before the March 24th street date.

To date, worldwide sales of The Legend of Zelda® series have surpassed 36 million software units.
So there you go. If you missed out over your side of the world, keep your eyes out for Aussie imports in May :)

Still busy with Metroid (and just bought SMB cheap) but I can hardly wait for Zelda.

I want it SOOOOOO MUCH...

Reading the reviews only make it want me more. Grrr.

Supposed to be released as a limited edition double pack rather than pre-ordering to get OOT when it gets the PAL release here.

This was, I believe, the actual announcement from one of the major UK retail shops or Nintendo themselves. You don't get the bonus disc before the release date, and you only can get it when you buy Wind Waker. Pre-ordering will obviously help in the matter of making sure you get one of the limited edition double packs. How limited "limited edition" is, we'll have to wait and see...

I can confirm that yes, indeed, the snot-nosed kid is in the US version.

Can I ask those that ordered from DVDBO and have seen confirmation of shipping, etc, when they ordered their copy?

I only ordered mine on the 1st March, so maybe that was too late. :cry:

I ordered mine on the 17th of December and got confirmation of shipping today. I read somewhere else that the bonus disc cut-off for DVDBO orders was around mid-January
