'''''The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition''''' is a collection of four main games from [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], a 20-minute playable demo of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and two videos: The Legend of Zelda: A Retrospective and a special ''The Wind Waker'' video. The collection contains ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', all run on emulators. The ''Collector's Edition'' was only ever made available through special deals and offers which varied from region to region but included things such as registering a [[Nintendo GameCube]] and two games for the console at Nintendo's website, buying a subscription to [[Nintendo Power]], or pre-ordering new first-party releases.

==A Retrospective==
The "A Retrospective" video is just under two minutes long. It is comprised of a short series video clips from, in order:
*''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''
*''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''
*[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|''A Link to the Past'' (SNES)]]
*''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'' (not [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Game Boy)|the original Game Boy version]])
*''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''
*''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' & ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' (shared segment)
*''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''
*[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA)|''A Link to the Past'' (GBA)]] & ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'' (both logos shown, but clips only of ''Four Swords'')
*''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''
It ends in artwork of the various Links. There is no narration, only an arrangement of ''The Legend of Zelda'' theme for sound.

''The Legend of Zelda'', ''The Adventure of Link'', ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'' are shown as they appear in ''Collector's Edition'', including recoloured button prompts for the [[Nintendo 64]] games to match the GameCube's button colours. ''Link's Awakening DX'', ''Oracle of Ages'' & ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Four Swords'' are shown running on the Game Boy Player accessory for the GameCube, including border and "Z Button : Options" prompt. This means the GBC games are stretched to the much wider ratio of the GBA screen. The CD-i games, [[Zelda (Game & Watch)|''Zelda'' Game & Watch]] (including the GBA ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' version) and [[The Legend of Zelda Game Watch|Nelsonic Game Watch]] are excluded.

==''The Wind Waker'' Special Movie==
The "''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'' Special Movie" is a trailer for ''The Wind Waker'' which is just under one minute long, played over the main theme for the game.

==Trivia==
*Presumably due to incorrect emulator programming to account for ''Majora's Mask''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s usage of the [[Nintendo 64]]'s 4 MB memory expansion pack, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' in ''The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition'' occasionally freezes, forcing the player to start over from the last save. The freezing sometimes resulted in the game's [[Owl Statue]] saves being erased, due to how the owl saves worked. This problem was fixed for the [[Nintendo Wii#Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] release of ''Majora's Mask'' in all regions except Europe.
