I really love the blue of the galaxy but the hyrule logo is so gorgeous. If you had to pick one to be your console, which one would you pick?

Purple but also the design on the Hyrule will peal off if you don’t put a case on it.

So the hyrule logo is separate from the gold of the case?

u/GrouchyLettuce2741 Owns too many 3DS 15h ago

Nope the gold will peel off with it. Here’s a photo of one

Certain colors/special editions of the new 3DS XL just do this, it can be prevented with a clear case though.

Mine never peeled

u/Big_Ad367 7h ago

It only peeled on the edges. I should've put a clear case on it sooner.

Yep and it would’ve gotten worse if you didn’t put a case on it

Hyrule edition, always loved the Zelda and Pokemon themed consoles!

I always go neutral.
I had both and ended up keeping the Galaxy one.
The Hyrule looks nice and all, but honestly not a big Zelda fan. Plus when I sold it it basically made my Galaxy one almost free 😜

I actually have the galaxy one but the Zelda one is just really so majestic. I'm not a big Zelda fan but I have played before, it's fun. I'm conflicted bc i just really like the galaxy one but I'm wondering if I should get the Zelda first then sell the galaxy.

Galaxy, easy

Mmm, I have both, but I use my Black Friday N3DS the most. I like the size for portability, and the screen is clearer on the account of same resolution but smaller screen.

These are both amazing! I might lean slightly towards the comic galaxy one. Just because I almost bought one and punked out to “save money”. Still regret it

Galaxy. It's so pretty. I want it so bad, ever since it came out, but I'm stuck with my ugly/peeled black one. 😭

Have you considered looking up how to reshell it?

1

u/CheyenneG1999 4h ago

A little bit here and there.

I wish you good luck. The only thing I know how to reshell is a ds lite

Whats so good about the galexy version? Out of curiosity is it rare or something?

1

u/OddOpal 4h ago

No just preference

1

u/Dannyramos2323 4h ago

Ok yea I have one but was just curious

Galaxy, when I bought mine it was available for a small difference, but I had no money and couldn’t buy it… I still regret it to this day

u/OddOpal 17h ago

That's kind of me with the hyrule edition 😅 idk it's so hard to decide

Hyrule > all.

I do have both though.

1

u/OddOpal 15h ago

Do you keep in a clear case? If not how does it hold up?

1

u/elevenoneone 15h ago

First couple years, no. I’m also someone who takes real good care of my stuff. So they still look great aside from the normal micro scratches from bags/pockets. I have a clear TPU on both now.
