WTB: KnightOfTruth's "Gimme Zelda or Gimme Death" Thread

[KnightOfTruth]

Ugh, okay, after literally hours of researching this, it looks like I've been looking for the AUS version - that seems to be the only one with the actual Gold Foil shine as opposed to the one you've got here with the poster inside (which looks identical to the US version with the exception of the rupees inside). The other difference I suppose is that the AUS and the pre-order one you show don't have the annoying "7 year old" warning breaking up the art like the US one has...

I thought that the pre-order case was the same gold foil as the AUS version, but it apparently isn't. They're two different colors/foils.

I haven't been able to find anyone selling the reversible cover-art one (or at least anyone that has claimed it is), though I've found this pre-order case and the regular European covers for sale on Ebay.co.uk for reasonable prices... the AUS one is still a bit much on their sites.

Since I'm going to pick up a copy of the US version anyway not sure if I want to have 3 different versions of the case (theoretically tossing the US version as the pre-order case is better)... let me do a little thinking and get back to you on this! Thanks for all your help (and everyone else's too!) thus far!

I'll shoot you a PM though and let you know!

Prepared to be informed.

End Views of the case from Left to right, UK Standard, UK Console Bundle Case, Aus Case, UK pre-order case.




Front and rear views:

UK Standard Case - Top Left
UK Pre-order Case - Top Right
Aus Ocarina Ed Case - Bottom Left
UK Console Bundle Case - Bottom Right







I also tried to get some light reflection on the UK Console bundle case and the Aus case to show it's foil reflection.




UK cover on top, Aus Cover below.




UK Console Bundle reversible cover




The outer artwork on the UK Console bundle cover and the UK pre-order cover are the same, which is why I used that to show you that it is a foil case. The rear of each case differs slightly though.

Also, the Aus Game card and UK Game card differ too. From Left to right, Demo Cart, Uk Cart, Aus Cart.

Yes, those be the ones! (I would've uploaded the pics I've got, but can't seem to remember my login for the photoupload site haha)

I had THOUGHT that the pre-order one with the poster was the same case, but they're definitely different. Since I wanted the poster too that's why I was asking for it. I got one of those AUS Ocarina Editions, but I declined to get the AUS case with it as it was beat up a little too much for my liking.

For whatever reason, the Aussie one looks really sharp compared to the US/Promo one, and thus my last message regarding me deciding which one(s) I actually think are worth me dishing out some $ for as I don't usually make it a habit of collecting a ton of different cover-arts for games.

Edit: (must've posted at the same time as cosmic) WOW! Thanks... I've been schooled Let me look at all that and get back to everyone! (Nice collection by the way!)

No problem. Though they're not the best pics in the world, I'm glad they have helped.

So even pre-order case and consol bundle are diffrent? jesus nintendo

[KnightOfTruth]

Yeah -- is a bit crazy with this one for sure. Big thanks to everyone for all the clarification though.

Looks like I'll just be happy with the Pre-order case+poster and maybe I'll try and find the white case down the road..., so Sylf, if you're still wanting to sell, feel free to PM me an asking price

Also, I've updated the first post and title of this thread with my most-current Zelda wants, so if anybody wants to make a few extra bucks for the holidays or happens to find a great deal, just let me know.

And lastly, does anyone know if F4F is planning on making an actual "Zelda" Zelda Statue? It makes me so sad to know that there's a Link, a Ganon, a Sheik, etc, but NO Zelda??!?

Fingers crossed there will be a Zelda. Hopefully a Twilight Princess Zelda statue to go with Ganondorf. ^^
