re4mat's Zelda collection [WIP]

Recommended Posts

Introduction

For over 20 years, I've been working on cultivating a CIB Zelda collection. I'm going for North American releases, with the exception of a few exclusives from other regions. (Mostly Japan.) Several games I've had for decades, others I've collected over the years, but the pace of collecting has really picked up since 2019, and I'm now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I intend this thread to be a living document; I wanted to post it not just to show off, but also to get help with identifying revisions, finding out what components actually came with each game, clearing up any mismatches (marked with a [Mismatch] tag), and ultimately getting each game to be 100% complete. At the time of posting, it's taken about two solid months of research to figure out every piece for each game; and as you can see there's still some gaps in my knowledge.

I'm also listing games and items which I don't have but am looking for (marked with a [0/X] or [Missing] tag, respectively) and I'll keep this thread edited (assuming the forum software lets me) as time goes on and I collect more items, as well as updating it with information (and corrections!) I'm able to get from you fine people.

The table of contents in this post contains links to each individual game's post in the thread so that anyone wanting to skip directly to a particular game can easily do so.

If you would like to use this template for your own collection threads, feel free! I for one will be re-using it for a Metroid collection thread I'll be posting later.

 

Tracking completeness

I've colour-coded game titles, which represent how complete a game is as follows:

  • Red = Missing
  • Orange = Incomplete
  • Green = Mostly Complete
  • Blue = 100% (or more) complete

The difference between "Mostly Complete" and "Mostly Incomplete" is pretty straightforward: if more than half of the components for a game are present, it's "Mostly Complete"; otherwise it's "Mostly Incomplete".

"Mostly Complete" means that the game is only missing one component. "Incomplete" is for a game missing more components than that, with games that I don't even have a single component for falling under the "Missing" category. (Confirmed mismatches count as half an item.)

Part numbers are coloured pink. I picked colours that should be readable in either light or dark mode, however I've also supplemented the colours with completeness tags in the interest of accessibility.

 

Photos

This is a very photo-heavy thread! Every individual component is photographed, which at the time of this writing is nearly 500 and counting. I've put all the photos behind spoiler tags, though, so that each page of the thread doesn't slow down to a crawl on load. Just click the spoiler tag for a component to view its photos!

The photos have at least the top/front of each item, with more views if there are identifying marks, such as serial numbers, product codes, stamp codes, etc. Cartridges that unscrew have been disassembled to have their insides photographed, with enough photos taken to be able to verify authenticity and read chip markings for identification.

Can't wait to see the pictures! How do you feel about appearances in other games like GameCube soul calibur 2, smash bros, Mario kart, etc?

Also, if a game is over 100% (like botw) does that mean you got preorder swag or how does that work?

1. [100%] The Hyrule Fantasy: Zelda no Densetsu [JPN] (FDS, 1986)

Purchased sealed on February 29th, 2024 from eBay.

The Famicom Disk System version is the very first Zelda game, and was technically on a different platform (the FDS), so I wanted it in my collection despite the fact that it was later released in America for the NES.

I purchased it sealed so that I could unseal it and document what came with it, but I didn't want to rip or cut the seal. My solution was to surround the seal sticker with kapton tape and use a hot air rework station to loosen the glue on the back of the sticker and lift it off. It worked pretty well, so I did the same for my sealed copies of Zelda 2 and Metroid for the FDS.

The really curious thing is that both the Zelda games had paper inserts that were completely blank. The games were purchased from different sellers, so it feels unlikely to me that these were misprints where the printer missed them and they were packed in blank. (Especially since the games were hand-packed, and presumably someone would have noticed that during package assembly.) On the other hand, I see no evidence of ink having transferred off of the papers and on to anything else. Best guess is that somehow the ink just disappeared with age. Metroid's lavender insert still had the print on it, but both Zelda games were blank.

I may end up tracking down those inserts separately to add to the collection, but I'm still counting this as 100% complete, since it was sealed when I bought it.

Like the first game, this one's precautions insert was also devoid of print, but I'm still counting it as 100% as it was purchased sealed.

9. [9 / 10] The Legend of Zelda (NES, 1987)

Purchased used on January 20th, 2005 from eBay.

The box does need a little bit of restoration work, mostly for the top flap. I should be able to iron that out, but at present it's being kept in a box protector, so at least it shouldn't get worse until I can get around to doing that.

Did I leave out any components for my copy's variant? Let me know!

11. [8 / 9] Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES, 1988)

Purchased used on October 24th, 2020 from Pink Gorilla (University District) in Seattle.

I didn't notice until later that it has the (presumably) original owner's name written on the box and manual. I used 99% IPA and a cotton swab to remove most of it from the box, and I may try some other stuff in the future. Maybe some window cleaner, maybe some Bestine or lighter fluid, maybe even a mild acetone solution if I can't get anything else to work. I'll of course test it out on a repro box first; I actually have a small collection of repro boxes for testing various restoration methods on. For example, I tried the dry erase marker method by drawing on one with some permanent marker, letting it fully set for a few days, and then going over that with dry erase marker and erasing it, but that didn't end up working. (But that method does work brilliantly on NES cartridge labels!) IPA worked pretty well, though, so that was what I ended up using on the real box. If anyone has any tips for the manual, I'm all ears.

Also, if you actually recognise this copy and used to own it, tell me! It'd be fun to have that bit of its provenance.

Did I leave out any components for my copy's variant? Let me know!

16. [100%] The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES, 1992)

Purchased used in autumn 1998 from Funcoland in Northgate.

It's another box that's been a little worn over the years which I'm planning on doing some restoration work on. A little bit of ironing to restore the box's shape is definitely in order, and I would like to look into colour-matching with archival ink to see if I can fix the creases. Some of the corners have separated, so I'll try rejoining those with PVA glue. For now, though, the game lives in a box protector, so it's not super urgent.

The cartridge itself is actually a replacement; in my mid-20s, my ex had the Player's Choice version of the game, and after we split up but before I moved out, she had swapped my cartridge with hers without my knowledge. (And likely without her knowledge, either, to be fair.) Years later, I traded that Player's Choice cartridge for a regular cartridge with an old friend of mine who had it loose and didn't care which revision he had so long as he had a copy of LttP.

18. [100%] The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods [JPN] (BBII, 1992)

Purchased sealed on May 14th, 2023 from eBay.

This is maybe the weirdest entry in the collection, being a set of cards for the Epoch Barcode Battler II system. About the only thing "Zelda" about it is the artwork on the  cards/manual/etc. and some special rules in the manual. But technically it is a game, so it counts for me. (I've also become a little obsessed with the BBII. It's such a bizarre product that I kind of love it.)

I took photos of all six sides of the case while it was still sealed, before opening it. I can't imagine there's a lot of sealed copies left out there in the world, so I'm happy to document the seal for anyone to use as reference.

19. [12 / 13] The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods [JPN] (Board Game, 1992)

Purchased used on March 27th, 2024 from eBay.

I can't believe I was able to find a copy of this, let alone one in such amazing condition. There's a minor blemish on the front of the box, which you can see just behind the Master Sword, and the box could use a little time on a hot plate to re-flatten it. It is missing the 6-sided die, but none of the tokens or cards have been punched out, nor have the stickers been removed from their sheet and applied to the player pieces. A fan-translated port of this exists for Tabletop Simulator on Steam, so I don't have any motivation to punch everything out and play this copy of the game anyway.

Information about what came with this game is incredibly scarce, and I can't find a single unboxing anywhere, so if you know of anything else that came with the game (even things like survey postcards) please let me know!

20. [100%] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB, 1993)

My childhood copy, purchased new in the spring of 1994 from Toys "R" Us in Tukwilla.

I've always taken very good care of this game and kept everything together, as it's one of my all-time favourites and I remember I had to save quite a bit for it on my meagre allowance. When I took these photos, I did notice some minor discolouration on the back of the cartridge, which I don't know how that happened as it's spent the last 15 or so years in the box. I tried cleaning it with some 99% IPA, but no luck.

22. [100%] Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon (CD-i, 1993)

Purchased sealed on November 21st, 2005 from eBay.

I'm assuming the seal is legitimate, though I don't have much knowledge about the CD-i. (And were people even resealing games back then? Seems like that's more recent of a thing.) Since I don't have a CD-i, I've never had reason to open it; but if the seal is legitimate, then it's safe to assume all the contents are present. If anyone can verify, that would be helpful!

Also, I just noticed a couple typos in the game description on the back of the slipcase:

  1. "Link takes off the rescue him" should be "Link takes off to rescue him"
  2. "Con- front sword-wielding Stalfos" should be "Confront sword-wielding Stalfos"

So that's fun! 😃

28. [100%] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask [Collector's Edition] (N64, 2000)

Purchased used in 2001 from an indie game store in the Provo Town Centre mall in Provo.

The box is pretty beat up; one of the fold-in tabs has torn off (however it's still floating around in the box) and another is getting ready to. It's not a lost cause, though. The tabs and some of the de-laminated edges should be repairable with PVA glue and maybe some neutral-pH archival-grade book-binding tape. The box will need to be ironed out, and a lot of the creases may be able to be touched-up with archival ink if I can match the colours.

33. [100%] Game & Watch Gallery 4 (GBA, 2002)

Purchased used on March 7th, 2024 from eBay.

Annoying that you have to play all the other ones to be able to unlock the Zelda game, but it has a Zelda game on the cartridge, so it counts as a Zelda game in my book.
