I think I could say 23/11/1998 when i got my first Zelda game ever: Ocarina Of Time. But At that time I didn't even know that others Zelda game existed (lol). A friend of my showed me his Zelda 1 on nes some month after. I tryed it and them buyed his whole nes collection and since them I'm trying to get them all . After that I got alttp on snes (and a snes btw...) in '99 followed by Majora's Mask when It got released in 2000. My favorite game is Ocarina Of Time, but my favorite piece in my collection is the Zelda GameBoy Camera cause it very nearly impossible to find. Ironicaly it's probably the piece I got for the less expensive price. I was pretty lucky with this one
I FINALLY got the last NTSC-U release I was missing It's the french version of Zelda: ALTTP which has been exclusively release here in Québec. This game is the hardest to find complete! This is only the second one I found (Saw one on ebay 4 or 5 year ago, but didn't get it cause it was too expensive) So I have now a 100% complete American Zelda Collection For pepople interested in nintendo serial number like me: Game code is : SNS-ZF-CAN Rom code: SNS-ZF-0 (It's the only ALTTP variation to have a game code different to standard "ZL" Btw I also got a Zelda DS Lite Pics:
Whats next after you have collected all the Zelda games then? Are you moving onto merchandise? I must say even at the height of my personal Zelda collection I could have not compared it against this. Simply amazing pal!
I've got the Zelda Ds Lite mainly because I wanted to replace my old fat DS. So then, why not getting the zelda one Anyway I'm actualy in the process of buying some zelda marchandise for several month now, however i'm not going to try to buy all the stuff which have the "zelda" word on it. I spotted some nice looking item that I want to add to my curent collection. So I will update the thread with the merchandise i've got soon, when I will receive the last items I'm missing
Might have missed it but couldn't find the Majoras Mask LE release (limited to 1000) in your collection you can see it here: http://www.gameshop.se/?page=description&id=37268 (btw. the price on that shop (~1680 USD) is just ridicules, I've seen them go for 1/10th of that.)
No I don't have one, I haven't started yet to buy PAL games. I saw two on ebay this year and both have finished in the 300~400 euro range IIRC. I don't plan to get into PAL collecting this year. I will propably only start getting pal release once a found the Oracle Series and/or minish cap limited edition which are limited both to 300 copy. I prefert to get the hardest to find release first cause I hate having an almost complete collection missing very hard to find game Once I get those two I will get both majora's mask and phantom hourglass limited edition (less hard to find since there are 1000 copy of each). After that I will complete my pal collection with standard games.
Awesome collection. Zelda is one of my all time favourite gaming series...well I didn't like the CD-I versions...but that's a different story.
I've got the last items I was waiting for today Like I said in previous post I started to get zelda marchandise. However I'm only inlcuding Figure from Yujin and statue from First4Figure to my collection. From all Zelda derived product I think that those two compagny are making the best looking of them all. Also I have now almost all Japan game where the only missing are the four BS-X tittle that I'm probably never going to found (at least for 3 of them). I'm very happy now my collection look exacly like I wanted it to look for year So now some pictures of how all the stuff look like together, it's very impressing I think I'm also in the process to update the first post with detailled pic of everything. (EDIT: Update done) Just clic to have bigger pics:
The collection is looking amazing mate. I love the deity link figure, how much did you pay for this out of interest? They have been selling for high prices of late. Some of the older figures (early 90's) are brilliant and there is some very interesting books/comics around that you should definately keep an eye out for. I will have a look and see what I can spare out of my collection that you may make better use of. I would be happy to see some of my items in that collection (for free of course). I will get back to you.
Let me know what you could give me, but I don't plan to add any book/manga/player's guide to my collection at the moment. Also for figure I will propably stay with those from Yujin only. They are small and nice at the same time. I know that some nice action figure exist for OOT and MM but it's too big and I don't have much space left . Eventualy, games soundtrack would be something nice to add to the collection but I will have to find bigger appartment before that
