Legend of Zelda; Collectors Unite!

[JokerJur]

Joker, where did you get that from?!?!

I MUST HAVE!

A gameshop that closed around here gave all theirr promo stuff away because it would've been thrown away otherwise, we just got around there at a lucky time I guess, place is gone now while they had other cutouts and stuff, should've taken everything.

Hi everyone, just signed up today and I am glad to find a Zelda collectors thread

I have a pretty nice collection that grew over the years (I started when playing Minish Cap on the GBA, and then bought all the previous & new games and lots of merchandise. I own a lot of Zelda-edition consoles, guidebooks, accessories...

I uploaded photos of the stuff I find unique / very likable in a photo album:
http://www.retrocollect.com/Community/jsb/Photos/716-Zelda.html

- The Zelda Box (Promo for Windwaker)
- A Link notebook from Club Nintendo
- A feather Stylus for the DS (Phantom Hourglass Promo)
- A Zelda Calculator in Famicom cartridge look (it works!)
- Tingle's Balloon fight for DS from Club Nintendo (JAP)
- Famicom classics Zelda 1 & 2 from Japan for GBA, very nice packaging
- Zelda Game & Watch (it works!)
- Zelda 1 for Famicom Disc System
- Zelda Board Game (it is playable... but not that much fun)

Now what I would still really like to have:
- The Silver DS Lite Version (only released in UK)
- all the Gold Trading Cards for the Twilight Princess cards (only got 2 so far)
- the Oracle of Seasons & Ages Special Edition

And I am interested in all kind of unique promo material. So in case you ever want to get rid of your stuff, just drop me a line

Awesome to hear my friend!

You own the Zelda Board Game? I need to pick that up soon as well as the game and watch!

Thanks for sharing your collection with us

and my latest addition:

Even more stuff O_O I am in further awe than I was before!
Where did you pickup those combat cards from?

Also, I can never find any of the strategy guides any more, it's annoying!

I guess I'll need to venture out into the wild to find them!

[TheDonovanViper]

Sweet collection Ozer!

I must ask, what is that wrapped in the Games Master green thing, I am intrigued!

Another person who can find Strategy Guides but I am unable too!

Keep us updated on any progress of your collection

My collection is only small. I only just got Twilight Princess on the gamecube this week - I paid £33 for it, which I know isn't cheap but prices on ebay are rapidly going upwards, so I figured I'd get it sooner rather than later.

Speaking of Zelda, if anyone wants to part with any of the three Game Boy Color games, CIB that is, please send me a PM. A shame that I own 50% of the GBC library but no Zelda game

[muftu]

Hey guys, quick question - did n64's ocarina of time and majora's mask get a player's choice release in europe? I cannot seem to find them even on ebay...

I don't believe so, well, I've only ever seen the green box art Majora's Mask and the Yellow and Gold Ocarina of time boxes.

I am aware of there being a rare Majora's Mask big box edition which includes the game, a watch, pins, soundtrack and a wallet.

Sorry I couldn't have been more help bud.

[TheDonovanViper]

Sorry, better late than never:

You have a wide array of the games my friend, you even have the limited edition 3DS which I missed out on as I am too poor!

Sweet collection though my friend

£33 is a sweet price, I've seen some copies going for £45-50! It is quite ridiculous actually!

I was lucky to do a trade with a fellow RetroCollect user known as LostRuin, which I am eternally grateful for, I didn't need to lay down the money which was a relief!

Are their any others you are looking to get soon?

I don't at the minute Hydr0x, but if I find any on the cheap CIB, you can have first refusal my friend

been an avid Zelda fan since LoZ and although I've not collected as many of the games as I'd like, I do have a couple at least (the absence of the NDS Zelda's is because I frankly did not care for them and sold them - something which I regret these days)

I'm something of a Zelda fan but i feel like i'm not as committed as some in here!

I own at least one copy of every game in the series but for example I own the GBA versions of the NES games and not the NES versions. Also have a Zelda 3DS and that is pretty much it!

It is one of those franchises that is so successful that a huge amount of branded tat gets released for it which is what stops me investing more. Games, guide, machines and music are all that interest me. That gold horse statue for instance is a monstrosity.

[ozDCgamer]

An Aussie collectors Zelda games, just thought i'd share them with you guys

Sealed games are a waste of time!!

Very nice stuff of course, but if I had it all it would be still mint but usable.


Picked up Twilight Princess for the GC yesterday from CEX. Well pleased.

The PH with the vertical tear strip always bugs me, I see some on ebay sometimes but it always makes me use my 'is that legit' side eye
