Making a complete (USA) Zelda collection

[Lynx]

I've been collecting Zelda games for a while now, ever since my cousin gave me his Link to the Past SNES game a long time ago, and I've decided to make a list to keep track of all my games. Here is the list:

I'm pretty sure I've listed every USA release there, but I don't know if I missed a Player's Choice release or two. If anyone could help that'd be great. I've looked far and wide to see if I missed any, but to my knowledge that's all of them. I've been hitting up eBay a lot recently and managed to snag quite a few deals. I had a lot more than I thought I did, but I still have a ways to go if I want every box and manual to accompany the games. Maybe I'll take a pic or two sometime when the collection grows even bigger.

Dunno if it matters much to you, but the Nes Zelda's in the US had at least 3 different Boxes if I remember correctly.  There was the Normal for Gold, Normal for Gray and I think a classic series for the Gold.  I dunno I could be wrong, but when I collected them all I had 3 variations.

[Hero's Shade]

I looked over your list, Lynx, and i noticed that where it says "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening w/Four Swords" and the Player's Choice version of the same game, it should've said "A Link to the Past" instead.

I'll have to add that as well, it seems. I thought it was odd that people were selling Classic Series boxes with the Gold carts, but if it's true that they came in those boxes as well, I'll add them to the list. Thanks. That brings the total of variations to 37 so far.

Gah! Thanks for that, I keep screwing up the Game Boy Zeldas.

there are some "Tingle" games on the DS that were japan only and club nintendo exclusives. 
that will bring you one step closer to zelda supremacy 


i think they were ...

Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland
Tingle no Balloon Fight


You can probably snag them on ebay for abour $35 each.
(FYI - for those games thats actually a good deal)

Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland

This game was also released in the USA and I think is scheduled to be released in Europe.... It's a quite funny but really weird game...

[Doom]

Actually I think it's already out in Europe but with no USA release announced.

[KaiserWAVE]

Yep, it's already out, came out September 2007. It's called Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland here.

For the CD-i, Zelda's Adventure was never released outside of Europe.

Off the list it goes. Though, if I ever came across it, it would certainly be a welcome addition.

If that's true, then how come I've never come across it in game stores? It could be that I'm not looking hard enough, but still, I haven't seen it.

Hmm, I don't know. Maybe they just produced a small batch and it's out of print. But all the European Amazon stores like Amazon Germany, UK and France have it in stock and ready for dispatch within 24h. So either they have the last few copies of the game or this game is such a niche product that the game stores you were looking for it didn't bother to carry it or reorder it once they sold their stock.
