The millions of fans of The Legend of Zelda(R) series will get an early holiday
present from Nintendo of America Inc.: the release of a must-have disc
that includes four playable classic games and additional bonus
materials. Starting Nov. 17, Nintendo will offer The Legend of Zelda
Collector's Edition Bundle packaged with the Nintendo GameCube(TM) at
the low price of just $99.99.
The disc is destined to become the surprise hit of the season, as
The Legend of Zelda remains one of the video game industry's most
popular franchises. Since its debut in 1987, nearly 40 million games
have been sold worldwide.
"This offer is the ultimate treat for fans of The Legend of Zelda
series," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice
president, marketing and corporate communications. "Just buy a
Nintendo GameCube at the new low MSRP of $99.99 and you get the
special The Legend of Zelda offer at no additional cost."
The special disc will include:
- The Legend of Zelda, the original 1987 game originally
developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System(R) (NES) that
introduced Link, Zelda(TM), Ganon and the magical world of
Hyrule; the game remains one of the most popular video games
ever

that combined exploration, action, magic and weapons
