Zelda GC Preorders w/ Huge Bonus Disc

[dan2357]

Hate copying from other sites but this was to good for everyone to miss.

Reports are coming in from all over the place that the new Famitsu Weekly reveals a huge bonus for Japanese gamers who preorder The Legend of Zelda: Kaze no Takuto.

The first people to preorder will receive a bonus disc that contains The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the never before released Ura-Zelda, and information and/or videos of F-Zero GC and Biohazard 4.

It is currently unknown whether Ocarina of Time has been upgraded at all to take advantage of the GameCube hardware, but this is the full and complete game. Ura-Zelda is the expansion pack for OoT that was in development for the 64 Disk Drive, but was never released. It is essentially a remix with new dungeons and possibly other new content.

Preorders for The Legend of Zelda: Kaze no Takuto begin on November 28 in Japan. Naturally, supplies of the bonus disc are included. No word on whether Nintendo of America will have a similar deal when the game is released here early next year.

Awesome. :o
Please please please Nintendo, you HAVE to do this in America too. Ocarina of Time is just about my favorite game ever. I'm looking forward to the Gamecube Zelda, but Ur-Zelda as a pack in would be unbelievably great.

Oh dear Lord, Zelda would be the most preordered game in history in the US if this came with it. I hope it comes.

Here's my take on things... originally the talk way, way back was to have OoT, UraZelda and Majora's Mask on one disc. Now for some reason the latter has disappeared if this turns out to be true. Why is this? Because if they do the same thing for the US, I believe it'll be OoT and Majora's Mask on the disc instead. I don't believe Nintendo will go to the time and effort to translate UraZelda just for a pre-order disc in the US (or the rest of the world for that matter). Of course they could prove me wrong... still, it's gonna go big on eBay... and I will be angling for a copy regardless cos I have a Jap Cube :twisted:
