Europe gets the good Phantom Hourglass boxart

Perhaps as an apology for decades of delayed releases -- The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass included, though only two weeks later (October 19th) than its North American debut -- Nintendo will feature the artwork used on the game's Japanese packaging for its European cover.

While its U.S. boxart is mostly brown and has our green-capped hero awkwardly posed, expressionless, Europe's version shows off a smiling Link and a broad range of blue hues. Sure, it's only packaging art, but we're still jealous! You can take a peek at both Phantom Hourglass covers past the post break
