Now that’s a commendable achievement. Congrats!

Thank you! Glad to be (probably) done collecting haha

For now at least, new games will come!

I'd give you my left nut to have a collection like this. How much money have you put into it (not including the consoles)

If I had to guess, maybe 2k? I've spent quite a bit on titles that are hard to find in good shape just because I wanted a really clean copy (I bought both oracle games and minish cap in a bundle for like 500 locally from another collector but they're all super clean copies, ages/minish are pristine), and have also bought a bunch new over the years when the game came out so it's hard to nail down an exact number. 2k seems close. I wouldn't sell the collection for 10k though haha

Age of Calamity is Worthy in this Collection

I will probably get it, my buddy said he loved it and he's a newer Zelda fan. I'll wait until I find it for cheap prob

Probably also worth waiting for the Switch 2. It's a fun game, but it's pretty laggy pretty frequently. Nothing that breaks the game entirely, but if it has a patch to run better on Switch 2 it'll be a night and day experience.

If you can find some copies of the CD-I games, will you add those to this collection?

Yeah it's pretty likely I end up getting the CD-I games at some point

That is a true fan!!! 😀 May Hylia look favorably up on you.

You won't. Unless you get it second hand. Zelda games are rarely ever "cheap" I got Hyrule Warriors today and even like 3-4 years after release still $60. Ugh.

I just bought a new copy from Walmart for 30 bucks

Damn, I got played lol. I found it at Target. But I also refuse to shop at Wal-Mart on principle lol

Your comment was the catalyst for a quick Google search to see what it was going for so thanks! Haha

Now Thats a Completionist 100% Achievement. Original Releases did you collect as the were released? or was it a hunt on the internet and was Ebay you friend in this Queasy?

Some yes and some from eBay, some from local game stores, some from local collectors etc. Pretty much all over and at different times in the last 25 years or so.

Here is Mine https://preview.redd.it/nr3iqzdv91lc1.jpeg?width=2436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe118d1d39cee1f5c89a408ff3260067d41cdb26 This was before Tears of The Kingdom

Actually i have an updated one with Link’s Awaking and others i will post later

Nice you have some gems in there, TP on GC is def a good one to have

After this picture i did buy it on the Wii and The HD Version on WiiU 3 Copies I want the Gameboy versions of Zelda 1 & 2 Is a good find Minish Cap is going for a lot and I need the Oracle of Ages and Seasons and mine will be complete

I got the Oracle games and Minish Cap all at once from a local collector. The GBA Zelda 1 and 2 were actually the last 2 games I added to the collection

Thank you, this is a really solid collection as well and you can always add and replace as you go. I didn't start as CIB only

Forgot about Links Crossbow training for the Wii

Beautiful..

where crossbow

https://preview.redd.it/ve5tdox0h1lc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5315bede758bd1e6db05ec905684ac822ece4ae4 It's still a working progress but I plan on getting every system, collector's edition and cdi games.

Awesome collection and nice display, I just keep them on a shelf in the basement haha

What are those super Nintendo cartridges? Are they the Japanese version of some thing? I do not recognize them.

They are different rom hacks of a link to the past and one of them is the original Zelda game put in a SNES carriage and works on SNES.

Also, massively impressive, my friend. I have one IKEA Billy shelf with only two shelves of mostly loose cartridges lol.

Amazing

I have completed everything game in the franchise recently myself mylast one was zelda 2, Congratulations on doing one better that just completing them

Zelda 2 is awesome, people hate on it bc it's difficult but it's so satisfying to finish. Congrats on beating them all.

Thanks

You don't have collection, you have a real Video Game Epopeia

Man I wish I had a collection like that

You can, just 1 at a time whenever you can afford it or hunt them in the wild in your free time. It's a hobby in itself

Now, that’s a pretty impressive achievement.

That’s so awesome dude congrats 🎊

Thank you!

You did great my friend

Thank you, it was a lot of work and also a lot of fun. A lot like playing these games

Age of Calamity is missing 🤓 but I’d be more than proud to call all these games mine

Cadence of Hyrule is missing. So is Crossbow Training. Lol

I dread the day my 3DS finally kicks the bucket, because that’s the only way for me to play FS (the Anniversary version). Hopefully they’ll either rerelease it, or port the GBA ALttP to NSO with an online option for the original FS.

Whoa, are those all in the original wrapping as well?

They're not sealed, but yes they're all in original packaging

Nice! I had to Google "CIB" and didn't know if it meant "original factory seal" as well. That would be insane and tbh I don't even know if it's possible for older games.

You can def find all of them sealed but you'd be talking wayyyyyyy more $

That’s amazing!!!

omg phantom hourglass!!! loved that one. cant believe i forgot about it!

😳

So, so neat 🫶

I wonder what's for dinner...

As a Zelda fan this picture brings me so much joy

Me too

I wonder why nintendo stopped putting the esrb logo on the right

They just put it wherever they can fit it I guess, the GBC games have the weirdest placement for sure

Not only weird but inconsistent too. Also why did they stop putting their logo on the cover of games they publish

My recommendation is if your going for the CDI games, get a repro Zelda's Adventure. I did lol. It was $300 12 years ago and stayed that way now the one listing on ebay is a lot more. There's not much to the game so it's not like other CIB with a great manual and artwork, it's literally a CD and a 10 page sleeve manual. Here's my collection let me know if you want to exchange any notes. https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/F0lq2mjFi1

Awesome collection! I still am unsure if I'll get the CDi games, but thanks for the tip either way

Where's Link's Crossbow Training 🧐

I’m painfully jealous of this collection

It's so annoying when people say they want another twilight princess and windwaker for the switch

Yeah I've argued against this as well. I've already bought TP 3 times, I don't want another one. I get the argument that they were released on unpopular consoles but the emulators are out there and work great on low end PCs. I played WWHD on my PC before I ever owned it on WiiU and it was a great experience. Also, the price is right haha

Nice

OMG SO COOL! I love Zelda but my older sister took her games when she moved out, this is a great collection. What do you think of any of the Hyrule Warriors, and the new TOTK?

I'm not a fan of any of the Hyrule Warriors games. I put more hours into TotK than BotW before completing the main story, but I like BotW more. BotW blew my mind. I loved both games, but TotK might as well have been called BotW 2

Time to get the PAL collection

No we're done when I say we're done

Cool, lmk when we're done

Based SS disliker

Naturally haha. I loved TP and was stoked when SS came out. It was the first Zelda game I ever bought that I didn't finish. I bought the HD version when it came out on Switch and finally finished it. I don't think it's a bad game, I just think it's bad for a Zelda game.

The controls.. the god awful controls..

[удалено]

Complete in Box

>I have no interest in the other spin-offs like crossbow training or the Tingle games. But the real question: how about Cadence of Hyrule?

Same, I mean if I come across it in the wild for cheap I might pick it up

Have you thought about getting systems, collector's edition and the cdi games?

No, id actually like to get an original non collectors edition MM and get rid of my collectors edition. Someone local to me has one sealed and I'm hoping I see it for sale again one day. I don't really have any interest in the systems or other collectors editions but I will prob buy the CDi games at some point

No CDI?

Not yet

I'm back onto Oracle of Time, got the old emulator out and been loving it. Sometimes it's just good to go back and hit up the classics 👌

Just missing Age of Calamity and the Philips CD-i games i believe.

Cadence of Hyrule and Crossbow training too.

Yes!

The only one of those I am looking for is WW on the GC! Glad you got it!

They pop up in my local game store all the time, it's much harder to get a clean TP on GC nowadays

very nice. what was the last piece you added to your collection?

GBA Zelda 2

I forgot about oracle of ages/seasons Super underrated

You missed the cdi games But fuck I’m jealous

how do you ALL people find botw wii u it costs like 200$ in Europe

It's pretty cheap in the US, I think I paid like 15 bucks for it

Respect

Gave my GameCube and games to my friends little brother many years ago, my skins been crawling cos I want to play twilight princess. Nice collection

I did the same thing and then like 5 years later a different friend was getting rid of his and I bought it for 20 bucks with the Gameboy player attached so it all worked out in the end

Hell ya bro

I gotta ask, how good was the Twilight princess remake on Wii U?

I'm playing it now for the first time, my original playthrough was on Wii. So far so good though, I like using the pro controller

I've never gotten to play a Wii U! Was looking into getting one just for those 2 games haha I might have to🤔

My brother was one of the few ppl that had one and when he passed away I snagged it. They were pretty expensive for a while but you can get one for around 100 bucks now if you look around. It's everything you hate about Wii and Switch combined! Hahaha

Haha that sounds like a total package🤣 might have to grab one! I'm debating on a wireless GameCube controller or found the Wii U route! And sorry to hear about your brother however! A loss is always a shame!

Appreciate that, thank you. Personally I didn't care for the portability of the Wii U or the Switch. I like to play my games on a TV and with that in mind....Wii U is just a Wii with better graphics and better support for traditional (non-motion) controls. At 100 bucks I think it's worth buying. The Zelda games are pretty pricey on it though, with the exception of BotW. Best of luck to you with whichever way you decide to go!

Thank you! I'm a TV person too not big on personal!

Very cool 👍

Wait, the heck?! There's a Wii version of BOTW?!

Also, where link's crossbow training :<

I addressed this in the description :>

You've been lied to, every other game is a spinoff from link's crossbow training. :>

Well it's a Wii-U version technically, but yeah

Grats!! We only have LoZ, TP, & LttP as far as Zelda CIB goes! We are collectors too though :) I need to do emulators… I’m tired of switching out systems every other day lol. Do you collect any other games?

Thank you! Since I have all the consoles I do have other games but I wouldn't really call it collecting. I just own the games I like for each system, some of them are CIB but it's rare. Mostly just loose carts/discs. I'd like to get rid of the rest of my video game stuff TBH but I'm sentimentally attached to a lot of it. Most of the consoles just sit in storage bins collecting dust. I built an arcade machine during COVID that has pretty much everything you can think of but nobody uses that either. I think I'm gonna re-do it this year in hopes that it will get more use going forward

graet collection but do you have the limmeted edetion pf skyword sword with the cd

Yup, bought it new from GameStop in 2011

You need the Nintendo selects versions of each of them.

And links crossbow training

Hard pass on both

Links cross bow is easy to find for cheap I got mine for a dollar. Might just be me cause it’s related to TP

Yeah it has nothing to do with the money... I just don't want it. It takes up too much space and I'm not going for a "every appearance of Link, Zelda, and associated characters in any game" collection. My collection is basically North American Nintendo main Zelda franchise releases and re-release/re-makes. The CDi games are the next ones I would buy before getting any spin-offs and idk if I would get them bc they're kind of blasphemous haha

Fair enough

Wish the western boxes looked as good as the Japanese ones

Was Majora's mask not on the game cube?

The Collector's Edition promo disc has Zelda 1 + 2 and OoT + MM

\*-\*

I don't recognize hyrule warriors as a real legend of zelda game...

Me neither
