Thank You for the information..i believe there might be some confusion in regards to that link..according to MetalPak/FuturePak official twitter account..these are merely prototypes and not officially releasing products..there intended as examples for the game industry developers and executives..ASIA countries U.A.E., Singapore, and Malaysia are getting a special set which is the standard copy of the game bundled with that gameboy looking steelbook in PAL collector editions without the art book..Asia is getting 2 variants, one with and without artbook. That is what that Play Asia link is alluding too..and NOT this metalpak/futurepak metal slipcase..that photo being used by PLAY ASIA is a "place holder" picture that is not updated unfortunately.

Gamescom came and went..did anything ever come out of it!? in regards to this neat ZELDA metal slip case!?

Another Asia exclusive steelbook

Sorry I post this to the wrong thread, should have it post to the G4 steelbook thread

[gamecollector_nz]

Appeared from Chinese game shop, I wonder if it’s an exclusive steelbook?

[Twisted]

WOW!!!...anyone can confirm this is a LEGITIMATE item? meaning officially sanctioned? there's been instances when ASIA countries retailers, make up their own "fan art" cases, out of generic china made "metal cases" when they've never been sanctioned or endorsed by the publishers..if it's a real genuine licensed item, then it's gonna be worth a lot, as a ZELDA item and a Nintendo item and for steelbook/metalpak/futurepak collectors.

Which particular retailer? I don’t mind double dipping on the game to have this licensed or not.
