that's exactly what I was thinking of when I mentioned "first edition", though I never owned Zelda on NES so I wasn't sure....
I think there were a few other games that came on colored carts too.
EDIT: searching around apparently there was a Spider-Man & Venom Maximum Carnage Collector's Edition Box Set for Genesis and SNES

Also this interested "NES Classics Collection" for GBA
