March 19, 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:
- The Legend of Zelda
- The Adventure of Link
- A Link to the Past (SNES)
- Link's Awakening DX (not the original Game Boy version)
- Ocarina of Time
- Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons (shared segment)
- Majora's Mask
- A Link to the Past (GBA) & Four Swords (both logos shown, but clips only of Four Swords)
- 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 (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.
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.
