I am aware of the fact that Nintendo's Gamecube is neither the oldest nor the most successful console around, but it also happens to be a two generations old machine. How time flies, eh? Anyway. One of the more interesting offerings on the GC -and one that's bound to eventually become a true collector's item- is the excellent The Legend of Zelda - Collector's Edition Nintendo published in 2003 and never sold the traditional way.
The disc includes perfectly emulated versions of The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and graphically updated versions of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It also features a demo of the Wind Waker and a couple of retrospective video clips. Oh, and you can grab a complete, boxed (with manual) NTSC version of the thing via this lovely The Legend of Zelda (Collectro's Edition) auction. Seller ships worldwide.
I remember getting this when it came out, makes me want to go back and play a little of the Original Zelda again.
ReplyDeleteHighly understandable that. I believe I've never finished it myself...
ReplyDeleteI own a copy of this. I remember at the time thinking how it would probably become rare or hard to find one day, so I went back to Gamestop and bought the last copy. It clearly states "Not For Resale."
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, but we all know how much people care for such statements, don't we? :)
