The popular action-adventure role-playing game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is getting an all-new Explorer Edition, which will be released sometime around Black Friday.

Nintendo made an announcement regarding the Explorer Edition on Nov. 1. It will include the award-winning "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," a 100-page explorer guide and a map. Nintendo stated that the guide and map will be a great help to people new to the "Legend of Zelda" franchise. The game will be available for $59.99.

The Explorer Edition isn't the only "Legend of Zelda" thing Nintendo has to offer in the near future. Aside from the "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild — Explorer's Edition," fans will reportedly be able to purchase four new Amiibo figurines on Nov. 10, and a Link-themed green Nintendo 2DS on Nov. 24.

Those who purchase the 2DS will have access to a remake of "The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time." The remake was done on the Unreal 4 engine and features high-definition graphics that give the game a fresh coat of paint, especially since "Ocarina of Time" was first released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64.

Longtime fans will be able to revisit nostalgia-filled places, while new fans of the "Zelda" franchise will be able to play one of the most well-known games without having to worry about bugs or pixelated graphics from the '90s.

"The Legend of Zelda" aside, Nintendo will also be bringing other surprises to the table come Black Friday. These include a Nintendo Switch bundle that comes with a download code for the "Super Mario Odyssey" game, Mario-themed red Joy-Con controllers, and a special carrying case for $379.99.

Aside from all that, Nintendo will also have "Pokémon" and Mario-themed 2DS models for sale. Black Friday will be on Nov. 24.
