Rare First Edition Of The Legend Of Zelda For Nintendo NES 5 Screw CIB Complete
Item History & Price
This is a first edition of The Legend of Zelda for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. This is the absolute gem of my collection and I don't want to sell this game! But recently I've seen the complete 5 screw editions selling for absurd amounts of money and I cannot pass that up. With new installments to the Zelda franchise still being made, it makes sense that this rare first edition will only go up in value. The condition of this boxed game is what sets it apart from most, he...nce the premium pricing. As a serious Zelda collector, I have had the pleasure of handling many copies of this game, and this one is in the best physical condition that I've ever seen. The map and manual are intact and crisp. The map is an excellent candidate for being framed as it is completely free of ink and tears. I don't know how the box managed to stay so crisp after all these years. The tabs and top flap are completely intact and free of tearing. The gold paint on the game cartridge is in immaculate condition. The game does also function well; it starts right up and saves normally. The box, manual, and game all bear the hallmark traits of a true first print/edition. I'm not the original owner but the game has been in my personal collection for a long time, safely stored in a plastic archival sleeve. Authenticity is guaranteed. Finding a first edition in this condition is nearly impossible nowadays. The condition may not be perfectly mint, but this game is definitely worthy of being in the most consummate collection. I urge you to carefully examine the photographs and make your own judgement on condition. I'd be happy to provide additional photos if needed. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, thanks!
