BONUS DISCS
(Posted 2003-12-10 21:20:21 by basscomm)

I just got my Legend of Zelda bonus disc in the mail yesterday. It has on
it:


* The Legend of Zelda

* Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link

* The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

* The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask

* The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker (20 minute demo)

* Some movie about The Wind Waker (Think 'commercial' without any words)

* The Legend of Zelda Retrospective. This is a little movie of all of the
Zelda games released for Nintendo systems (for some reason they left out
the CD-i versions). 


Just having access to the NES Zelda games in their original form is worth
the price of the subscription to Nintendo Power. Around here at the
Insanely Overpriced Video Game Store they seem to think that they should go
for about $15 each (they also think for some reason that they can sell
Crono Trigger for $100. I think they're nuts).

So far I've managed to spend about 20 minutes with the thing. The think I
like most about the whole thing is that I don't have to fiddle with my Game
Cube for half an hour wiggling the game around trying to get it to work.

Oh, and that retrospective movie is kind of neat, too.

What's in the retrospective movie?  Just "hey this was a neat game.  It
changed us all for the better" --or-- does it have any cool "making of"
bits?

The movie pretty much just shows us our collective 'favorite moments' from
the series and is a little walk down memory lane.  

The collection is a novel item, and I appreciate what Nintendo is doing for
their long time fan boys (like myself)- but I've only put about a half hour
or so into the game(s) myself, and I agree...the best part so far is not
having that flashing grey screen ruin my zelda fun.

I was hoping for some 'making of' stuff or some comments by some of the
bigwigs in Zelda's history, but there weren't any. That's not to say that
it's bad by any stretch, though.

It's still really interesting to see how the series has changed over the
years, and it all looks so much more dramatic when it's all back to back
like that.
