One-a-Wednesday: The Legend of Zelda Collector’s Edition

This is my first Collector’s Edition of a strategy guide, but as you can see, it’s not your typical binding for such a thing. The reason why it is called a Collector’s Edition is because it’s the strategy guide for the Collector’s Edition game–a GameCube disc containing The Legend of Zelda, Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time, and Majora’s Mask. If I remember correctly, the collection disc was not available in stores unless you found a used copy somewhere. It was either part of a Nintendo Power subscription or from preordering Wind Waker. I honestly cannot remember.

The strategy guide, however, definitely was a perk only Nintendo Power subscribers could pick up.

Crazy thing is I never used it for help with any of those games. It really wasn’t that well done of a guide since they smashed in as much information as possible and neglecting detail. I suppose it would be great for speedrunners, but not for those who are playing these games for the first time.

I’m still happy to have it.
