The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

March 3, 2008 - 11:40 pm - Posted by Sean R.

Earlier this evening I took a 20 mile (40 miles round trip) adventure to pick up a collectors edition Nintendo 64 “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”.

The box is in really nice shape. The picture below doesn’t show how shiny gold the box really is… but take my word for it, this thing is really nice:

Of course along with the box, it came with a mint instruction manual and also the collectors edition and rare gold cartridge… and there was much rejoicing… yay!

I’ve wanted this for a while now and as of this evening, it’s all mine… muhahahahaha:

Here is my previous “later released” grey cartridge version. From what I can tell, it has the exact game play. If I’m missing something about that, let me know:

I’ve always enjoyed the Zelda series of games. The Nintendo 64 version is really fun and puts the N64 hardware to the test. I’ll have a full review of the game in the coming weeks.

For now, here’s a little teaser… The game begins with the series’ trademark silent protagonist, Link, in the land of Hyrule. Link sets out on a quest to stop Ganondorf, the Zelda franchise’s prime antagonist, from obtaining the Triforce. To stop Ganondorf, Link travels back and forth between a period of seven years using the titular Ocarina of Time.

For the complete storyline, check out the official Zelda Wiki.

Now off to play some Zelda before I hit the sheets.

    The gold version of Ocarina of Time is a rare gem and a lucky find. I always wished they released a cartridge like this for GoldenEye 007 as well. Would have been fitting, I think. :)
