Exactly. If you weren't there and couldn't get someone else to get one for you
at release, you now have to pay hundreds of dollars over MSRP for it. It's a bit of an extreme example because of how limited it is and how concentrated its distribution was, I'll grant you that, but there are other examples of Zelda editions and merch that are comparable in that regard, and some that are considerably more expensive.
On the other hand, the standard edition of Hyrule Warriors, in 5 years, sealed and mint, might maintain MSRP, but probably won't be worth more than that. So regarding your original question, a collection of just the standard edition of Zelda games, unsealed, from whichever single region you prefer, would be a good (and cheap) place to start, and you could potentially expand from there. By my count, that's 17 games not counting remakes or spin-offs; 22 if you also count the more substantial re-releases of LADX, Master Quest, "Collector's Edition", OoT3D, and TWWHD.
