4 Nov

Continuing on from the previous post, about the Metroid Gamecube where the “Zelda Wind Waker Limited Edition Pak” was briefly mentioned.

This pack was also released in 2003, and came bundled with the Zelda game, Wind Waker (including bonus disc with Ocarina of Time Masterquest). It is packaged in the same way as the Metroid Pak, with a sleeve around an ordinary boxed Gamecube console and the Gamecube game inside.

This variation was released in Australia in jet black and indigo purple (only purple pictured) with the sleeve altered to reflect this. It was also released in Europe in several language versions, in platinum silver and indigo purple. It is interesting to note that the sleeve on the European release wraps around the console from top to bottom, where as in Australia, it wraps around sideways.

The Australian console, on the box, also says the the bonus disc may not work with older TV’s and to phone Nintendo for details. This is not present on the European versions.
