The Legend of Zelda (Collector's Edition) (Game Cube, 2003)

The Legend of Zelda has for about 15 years been a great series on the Nintendo systems. I think the Zelda series is the most action packed series on any Nintendo system. It began with the Legend of Zelda, which introduced us to the new epic series. Then they surprised us with the Adventure of Link, which unlike the game before it, was a side scrolling plat former. Of course a few games were released in between the Adventure of Link, and The Ocarina of Time, but since they are not included in this I will not mention them. In 1998, two years after the Nintendo 64 was released, a new 3 dimensional Zelda appeared. The game is of course called the Ocarina of Time. The game was a great succession to the Nintendo Entertainment System's older games. It featured a great story line, nice gameplay and of course the best graphics I ever saw on the Nintendo 64. After that came the Majora's Mask. Sadly many people didn't like this game. It was short, but it was still fun in my opinion. Of course we all know about the Wind Waker, but only a demo of the game appears on this disk. You'll be happy to know that all of the games mentioned above appear on this disk! It may be hard to get, but its worth it!

Graphics 10/10

The Legend of Zelda:

I'm surprised of the graphics in this game. Sure the character images are kind of less detailed, but other then that this game's graphics are solid, especially for the system this was released on.

Adventure of Link:

The graphics our really not that bad, once again. However they aren't the best, either. Graphics don't make a game though.

Ocarina of Time:

The graphics in this game our the best on the Nintendo 64. They our nicely done. I really like how they worked on the time of the day in this game. When its in the evening the sky turns reddish, and it effects shadows and other things. When its in the morning, you see fog like in the real morning.

Majora's Mask:

I hate to break my words but the graphics on this game our just plain awesome. When your on the mountain, and its snowing it looks like it really is snowing. I love the graphics in this game, though sadly on this version there's a bit of a slow down. It shouldn't ruin it too much, though.

Sound 9/10

Legend of Zelda:

Of course most of the music and sound in this game is classic Zelda. When you first start your journey you will here the Zelda theme song. No slowdown to report about on this game.

The Adventure of Link:

The music in this game kind of changed a little bit. However I love the Temple music. If you have played Super Smash Brothers Melee before, you will realize that the tune is in the Hyrule Temple fighting course. I love the music in this game simply because I like Zelda.

Ocarina of Time:

The music in this game is awesome, and really great. The music in this game really fits the atmosphere. Some of the later dungeon tunes our plane awesome. Of course the Gerudo Valley theme plays in this game, too!

Majora's Mask:

The music is really awesome in this game. Its very nice because it also fits the atmosphere. There isn't much classic Zelda music in this one, and there's a slowdown in the music. Other then that I love it.

Gameplay 10/10

You can bet all of the games our going to have great gameplay. The only one that really differs is the second game. Its all classic gameplay here. Think goodness the battles are not turn based.

Overall 10/10
