I haz teh mostest rare cover!
Bonus points to anyone who knows where this cover comes from :)
There are only 2 actual US retail covers, Players Choice and Original release. You can't depict the color gold on a monitor or TV screen, and gold was used on the actual covers, so yellow/brown gets used instead to get the point across. It's known as a "spot color". It cannot be reproduced with traditional CMYK printing, so it's added as a 5th color in the printing process and adds significant cost, which is why you don't see spot colors used more often. Same goes for day-glow/fluorescent, other metallics, and colors that simply cannot be reproduced using CMYK.

Is it just a modified version of this? http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=6751
wiggy:
Nope, that looks more like a modified version of this ;)
Here's a hint; it wasn't made by anyone here or on any other cover site, it's not an official Nintendo cover, but it was a mass-produced cover.

I have no clue at all!

Bah. There are two versions of Wind Waker worth getting for the cover. The Wind Waker/Metroid Prime two-pack and the Wind Waker/Master Quest two-pack. :D
