 [![Special NES Zelda in Nintendo Switch Online](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/special-nes-zelda-in-nintendo-switch-online.jpeg "Special NES Zelda in Nintendo Switch Online")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/special-nes-zelda-in-nintendo-switch-online.jpeg)A surprising game has joined the NES Nintendo Switch Online service which is free to access if you are a member of Nintendo’s Switch online offering.

It is the original The Legend of Zelda but with a twist and is titled The Legend of Zelda – Living the life of luxury! Yeah … we did not see that one coming either.

## [](#the-legend-of-zelda-living-the-life-of-luxury)The Legend of Zelda – Living the life of luxury

In this special version of The Legend of Zelda, you’ll start with a ton of rupees and items!

You’ll begin with all equipment, including your White Sword, the Magical Shield, the Blue Ring, and even the Power Bracelet. But if Ganon’s still giving you a hard time, the power of money will overcome! Just buy yourself some more items and give it another try!

Beating the game once grants you access to a more difficult version of the game called Second Quest.

So Nintendo is now open to ROM hacks? Well if they keep this up … We are all for it really.
