IGNCube has reported that the rumored Legend of Zelda bonus disc is now a reality. As we all expected, it will include Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, The Legend of Zelda, Adventures of Link, and a demo of Wind Waker- no word on that documentary yet. It' will most likely be included with new purchases of a Gamecube but hopefully Nintendo will offer it through other methods as well, considering some 10 million people already have a Gamecube. As someone in another thread ponited out, with the release of this disc, every Nintendo made Zelda game ever released will be playable on the Gamecube with a little help from the Gameboy Player. It's a great time to be a Zelda fan.

BTW, sorry if PGC's already reported this- I couldn't load the main page so I don't know if they have or haven't yet (if they haven't, it should be up soon).

I love how people call it a rumor when us and Game Informer report it, and fact when it's IGN. We tend to have the better track record, I think.

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #3 on:** October 06, 2003, 10:05:31 PM »

Don't feel too bad. It's just that IGN had proof in the form of pics. Also I don't think Game Informer has a great track record does it? Since they were the source of this most everyone felt it was bull. I knew it came from Billy though so I believed it and seeing you guys posting about it just confirmed it more for me.

Now just find out if we can get this thing without having to buy some bundle crap.

EDIT: One question I have is Majora's Mask will have higher resolution a la the Ocarina Bonus Disk right? After playing the Bonus Disk and then playing the N64 version I realized just how bad the resolution was. No wonder I suffered from almost constant migraines the entire period I played my N64.

BUT WHERE ARE THE CD-i GAMES? I AM CRUSHED.
I'm looking foward to this disc *SHOCK*, and I have no doubts Nintendo will release it by itself. Either that, or we can count on trusty EB selling it seperatly for insane amount of money ++!

If this bonus disc will also be a preorder bonus for Four Swords I will officially declare Four Swords' release date as the best gaming day ever

Nintendo probably won't sell this disk stand alone, look at what they did with the last Zelda Bonus and the Demo Disk. Nintendo doesn't seem to care about us who already own a GCN, only those that don't. Nintendo needs to pull the head from the ass and realize that this should be made available to everyone, and not just those who may buy a GCN. Sorry, but if I didn't have a GCN, this bonus disk of games that for some are almost 20 years old will not make me go buy a GCN. I hope this bonus is available for Four Swords as well, because I would rather spend 50 dollars as opposed to 100. And I don't even want Four Swords.

Ha. I was planning on buying a platinum Gamecube this winter anyway. Take that Nintendo! BWA HA HA HA HAAA!!!!!!!
:cough:
Everyone else, don't start griping! We all know that Target and Best Buy will be selling these babies separately for ten bucks or so.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #8 on:** October 07, 2003, 04:25:22 AM »

Well if you didn't preorder WW then you must not have wanted the bonus disc that bad

And the demo disc was sold alone in some stores, so it wasn't that hard to find one...

Ian Sane · « **Reply #9 on:** October 07, 2003, 06:59:29 AM »

Let's see here. Nintendo has two options. They can either:

a. Release the disc seperately so that all Cube owners can enjoy it, keeping in mind that because of Wind Waker most Zelda fans already own Cubes.

or

b. Release it only with new consoles and piss off their entire fanbase.

Jdub03 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 07, 2003, 08:31:25 AM »

I definitely want them to release it alone, but think of it this way. If you have a gamecube and have not gotten rid of it by now, nintendo knows your not going to get rid of it . This bonus disk is a way for them to entice those who dont have a cube to get one. They have us already. We are trapped. Their mission is to capture the rest of those stubborn people out there.

As seen by nintendo's past business strategies, they dont mind pissing us off, because thats all we can do is be pissed off.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #11 on:** October 07, 2003, 10:02:08 AM »

I too have never played Zelda 1 or 2, and haven't finished Majoras Mask (becuase of first boerdom, then frustration, then a crappy broken controller). This disk is awesome.

Yes, the bonus disk was selling seperately, but at $40. I won't spend that much on a few demos.

Cap · « **Reply #12 on:** October 07, 2003, 10:03:20 AM »

if nintendo doesnt make this available to the existing gamecube user base, i will be extremely pissed off. seeing how nintendo wont give out demo discs unless your willing to preorder a game, i dont doubt that the disc wont be for sale as a stand alone.

hopefully retailers will sell the disc seperately like they did with the zelda disc and the previous demo disc.

Why doesn't someone email Nintedo and ask if they will sell this seperatly or if it is indeed true?

Ian Sane · « **Reply #14 on:** October 07, 2003, 10:53:33 AM »

"As seen by nintendo's past business strategies, they dont mind pissing us off, because thats all we can do is be pissed off."

No we can NOT buy their next console. Pissing off your fanbase is suicide. That's what happened to Sega.

"Why doesn't someone email Nintedo and ask if they will sell this seperatly or if it is indeed true?"

There's not really any point in writing an email now because Nintendo hasn't really officially announced this themselves so anyone you email will just give you a bullsh!t "we don't comment on rumours" letter. We have to wait until they release an actual press release. I will however right an email the very same day if they announce it for new consoles only. Though I also wrote a letter about the demo disc and was completely ignored.

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #15 on:** October 07, 2003, 12:19:15 PM »

I had forgotten about this but is the Zelda Documentary thing going to be on this like Game Informer and PGC originally reported? IGN is saying that only the games and a Wind Waker demo will be on it. I hope there will be a documentary because it would be really great if Miyamoto and Aonuma were interviewed and gave the official time line for the series and stuff like that.

By the way I really don't understand why people keep saying they want the CD-i Zeldas on this thing. They were not made by Nintendo and from all reports were absolutely horrible. I'm sure Nintendo would like those games to be forgotten much like George Lucas wants the Star Wars Holiday Special to be forgotten.

I'm sure anyone who "wants" those games on there are either being extremely sarcastic or are high on a very brain-damaging drug.

My bet's on the former.

I want those games just to see how crappy they really are and laugh at them. Who wouldnt?

You honestly DO NOT want to play the CD-I games...I played one and I didn't touch another Zelda game for years...

Luciferschild · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2003, 06:46:28 PM »

Anyone know if Oot includes the master quest??? If not that sucks. I don't know if I should wait to buy a new gc or not cause mine broke down, I'm so confused....

ThePerm · « **Reply #23 on:** October 08, 2003, 07:38:04 PM »

ima send you a vid of the cd-i games tonight piac.. and if you still want it....err

Cap · « **Reply #24 on:** October 08, 2003, 07:45:07 PM »

after hearing about the cd-i games for so long, i'd like to play them just to see how bad they are for myself.

i think that nintendo wants to forget those games ever happened though.
