Theoretically, perhaps it should be a "grail" of sorts...heck, I would be very much proud to own one if I had it
. But the $2000 price tag on a VGA-graded gold Zelda would likely be associated with a 90+ or better copy, not an 85 (I've seen 85s sell for more like $500-$750). Dragon Warrior IV is *much* rarer sealed and (while not as many in number, at least among Americans) about an equally-devoted fanbase. And this may sound even harder to believe...DW II is the rarest of the four NES DW games in terms of factory-sealed (although a fair bit more common than III and much more common than IV in terms of loose and/or CIB copies), but it doesn't go for any more than about $1000 or so.
