i dont know how to do the link thing so there is the address. It says that there are 7 or 8 zelda games on there. Can anyone confirm or deny this? It also has new information concerning gameplay of the disc.

Eh, it's not quite 7 or 8 (there's only 9 games in the series total), but Nintendo is releasing a Zelda bonus disc, which will contain The Legend of Zelda, Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and a short documentary on the history of the Zelda series. You can get it for free one of three ways: buying a new Gamecube, (re)subscribing to Nintendo Power, or by registering your Gamecube on Nintendo's website plus any 2 games that will be released with a special registration code (currently the choices are Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario Party 5, and 1080: Avalanche).

What do you mean registering your Gamecube? Just tell them you have one and you get stuff?

MagicToenail · « **Reply #4 on:** November 16, 2003, 01:10:12 PM »

I already know what the bonus disc contains, and nintendos plan on releasing it, I was saying I didnt know why there would be so many of the games on their (for those who bothered to read the link). But upon further inspection of reading the link, I found that those games would all be in a retrospective. Also, I'm in no way new to the Zelda series, I've still got my version of The Adventure of Link for the NES. Oh well, the link still explains whats on the disc and it explains some of the glitches in Majoras Mask. It's a good read.

Hostile: You can make an account at Nintendo.com, and then you're able to type in the serial code on your Gamecube to register it. You do the same with the games, and once you have your Gamecube and 2 games registered, they send you the disc.

Thanks. . . very cool. I already have an account there, for whatever reason. I suppose I'll go do that. . . is that opportunity in progress right now?

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #7 on:** November 16, 2003, 01:22:11 PM »

Indeed it is- I've already registered my Gamecube and GBA.Here is the page in question.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #8 on:** November 16, 2003, 01:34:36 PM »

I see. . . figgered it all out now. But I own none of the required games for registering. I'm going to be getting Mario Kart, but I'm not sure about the rest. Maybe I'll just look at the PIN on one in some video store and copy it down or something. Whatever. . . I'm not ultra concerned about this, but if I could get it, it'd be nice. The documentary thing especially.

Why don't you just subscribe/renew to Nintendo Power?

If you come to these boards, you should be gettin it anyway. It's $20 bucks or somtin for a year.

It all goes down after tomorrow, when you can subscribe and choose the collecters edition disk as your free gift.

That's how I'm doin it.

The King of red Lions · « **Reply #10 on:** November 16, 2003, 02:05:46 PM »

Also......

It's not a documentary, it's a very, very short retrospective montage of footage from 4 or 5 games.

Besides, why would you be gettin it for that. You should be gettin it for the 4 zelda games, all in one place, all on one system.

The PIN number is only included with NEWER games (such as games that are qualified for this bonus disc promotion) via an insert in the package. I've checked my current games, and there aren't any PIN numbers on the package nor on the discs at all.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #12 on:** November 16, 2003, 03:11:15 PM »

Because I already have the other four games. ((Eh, nevermind what I said here. I was wrong.))

I don't get Nintendo Power. But I might get Mario Party 5, or do something that is quite possibly illegal. Whatever. I'm not really that concerned about it, it'd just be nice to have.

joshnickerson · « **Reply #13 on:** November 16, 2003, 04:20:46 PM »

Hmph. Kinda bummed about the "documentary" now, that was the one aspect of the disc I was REALLY looking forward to. Oh well. At least now I can play some old school Zelda without digging out my old NES.

Djunknown · « **Reply #14 on:** November 16, 2003, 07:17:38 PM »

Damn Nintendo again! First, for making me re-buy Mario 3 because they know I want it, and now this!

I'm not really a fan of the newer Nintendo Power, as they cater to the younger crowds. (On second thought, they ALWAYS catered to the younger crowd, I just got older, and refused to grow with me.) But since its a relitively cheaper option than two games or a 'cube, it might be my only option. Mario Kart's in the bag, but the other titles don't float my boat. I've been itching for Secret of Mana on the Gba for a loooong time, I'm not going to substitute for Superstar Saga.

Oh well, I can think of it this way. I paid 20 or so dollars for the game and I just so happen to get a subscription which I can cancel

Hey, the only one that looks good to me is MK

D, so stop complaining. Well, you know what I mean, not Mortal Kombat sumtin or other.

Seems like Nintendo is getting hit hard with new subscribers this morning.

Their online store is shut down.

dog_from_duckhunt · « **Reply #17 on:** November 17, 2003, 07:06:17 AM »

Discs are up on ebay for $50-60 a pop. Bought one as you're sort of shagged with an NTSC machine in Europe.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #18 on:** November 17, 2003, 12:43:42 PM »

just buy mario kart and superstar saga(famitsu rated it 10 9 9 9) for the zelda compilation or just a nintendo power subscription

Skyman_Welks · « **Reply #19 on:** November 17, 2003, 01:11:35 PM »

^ That's what I'm doing. I was planning on getting superstar saga eventually, but not this early....

It really is my only option though.

novastar512 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 17, 2003, 02:06:12 PM »

Well, I ordered mine with a new Nintendo Power Subscription.

I might get Mario Kart, I heard it got bad reviews and I read them. So I dunno. 1080, plays really well and it is fun, but I am owried about the real game and whethere it is going to be fun. Mario Luigi, is a little bit boring, I have played it and I would consider a different game like Sword of Mana. Mario Party 5is a joke, it will never beat #2.

Anyway, at least I am finally gonna be able to beat Zelda2. My uncle has it for the NES, but the battery is shot and you can't save, so I have never gotten past the 3 castle.

TWO bad reviews, and that's only if you count a 7.9 as bad, which it isn't. Go to Game Rankings and read the reviews THEY have- everything else has given it above a 9.0. Hell, EGM gave a 10, 10, 9.5.

I just got off the phone with nintendo power, my disc should arrive in two weeks.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2003, 03:47:19 PM »

So if you subscribe to NP, they just send the disc along with your first issue?

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #24 on:** November 17, 2003, 03:47:26 PM »

Actually, Mario Party 5 is looking good to me. I think they sensed how lazy they got in 4, and are making up for it. And the ice cream game looks awesome. I dunno if I'll get it, though.
