The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition is a collection of four main games from The Legend of Zelda series, a 20-minute playable demo of 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, The Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time, and 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:

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 (including the GBA Game & Watch Gallery 4 version) and 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.

Playable Games

The Legend of Zelda

The opening scroll was retranslated into English for this release. The new version reads:

LONG AGO, GANON, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, STOLE THE TRIFORCE OF POWER. PRINCESS ZELDA OF HYRULE BROKE THE TRIFORCE OF WISDOM INTO EIGHT PIECES AND HID THEM FROM GANON BEFORE SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY GANON'S MINIONS. LINK, YOU MUST FIND THE PIECES AND SAVE ZELDA.

The item scroll is also now headed "ALL TREASURES" rather than "ALL OF TREASURES", and "RUPIES" changed to "RUPEES". All other entries, including "CONTAINER HEART", remained unchanged.



Trivia

  • Presumably due to incorrect emulator programming to account for Majora's Mask's usage of the Nintendo 64's 4 MB memory expansion pack, 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 Virtual Console release of Majora's Mask in all regions except Europe.
