Zelda NES

Looking for Zelda1 and LinkZ2 Gold Cartridges, the oval ones and NOT the circle ones.

Been through hundreds of pictures, usually trying to get the two together.

Then I saw this… on Ebay with a bid and Buy It Now.

Greatest condition that I ever saw! Waited to bid and win at the end and someone else grabbed the Buy It Now a few hours after looking. NO… how long until another great condition one I do not know.

These games are great and special. Already got the gray cartridge ones. I think there will be a version difference between the gold/gray. Playing the first Zelda… Game Over hundreds of times, harder with 4-way movement, slowly made it up to the end of Level 4. Cool!

Cool beans. I’ve never seen a gold cartidge in person, but I did see one on Pawn Stars the other day. It was a Nintendo World Championships gold cartidge. It was appraised for $22,000 and the guy sold it for $550 when there was another one on ebay I guess for $27,000. He could have sold it for a lot more money. Shame.

There is no difference between the gray and gold cartridges though other than the fact that the gold one is gold, and it’s the first version of the game that was released, and the gray one is the re-released version. There was a lot of gold cartridges made for these games, so I’m sure another one in good condition would pop-up sometime.

There are some gold ones on Amazon in "excellent" conditon for around $20.

the oval ones? wtf.

anyway, over here, wherever theres a place selling old games, theres ALWAYS a gold zelda 1 cart.

in fact, gray carts are rarer than gold ones, since the gray ones were the last batch to be released, hence they made fewer of them.

*hugs CIB zelda 2 cart*

By "oval" do you mean the Nintendo seal? If so, this one has a Nintendo seal that looks circular and not white, and it’s in the middle, if this is the one you don’t want…

My daughter just bought one for 10$ at a thrift store. Playable too.
She started working there a few months ago so she gets to see everything that comes in.

I can honestly say that I had no idea there were two different seals for this game, let alone the circle one.

hold on, let me check my other nes games, all 55 of them.
so far, mario bros, kid icarus, ghosts n goblins, contra and ghostbusters have circle seals. the rest of my games are in their boxes and im too lazy to reach them (top of the taller-than-me shelf.

from what i can gather, circle seals AND 3 screws (on the back) means they are the very first run of the cart.

3 screws, seal being circle or oval, means they are the first batch of that game too

Also trying to get a ZeldaOOT white-on-gold cartridge. These are seen so occasionally.

Another great one!
