Legend Of Zelda Bonus Disc! Help!

Slane

Well, Christmas is over, and the amazing Wind Waker game has enthraled me in the Legend of Zelda Universe once again, so i decided I better pick up the Zelda bonus Disc, featuring four games including Ocarina of time and Major's mask(the one i did'nt even play, for shame!). I read in a post on here that they were selling the discs in Smyths in swords for 10 yoyo's but on further investigation today, and an interigation of one of the staff members, i was given the classic, "No,.... never heard of that!", Oh, of course, silly me, there I go inventing game titles again, shall my zanyness never cease? (Zanyness? Is that a word,.....er...well it is now!!!). I probably should have bought the damn disc before Christmas but I was more worried about actually getting my hands on the Wind Waker at that time.

So has anyone out there in Boards.ie land spotted the golden disc in any shops recently, hopefully not the HMV special "F*** the consumer" edition( 60 yoyo's!?). Even better has anyone spotted it in one of the other Smyth's stores anytime within the last week or so?

Mr E

Best bet is to use eBay, or check the second hand shelves in Game or Gamestop.....

I worked in Software Zone in Smyths at the Swords branch up until christmas. I can tell you for a fact that they did sell them for €9.99 and had them in stock. I was the one who ended up pricing them and putting them on the shelf but they only received 25 of them in and that was the last week of Nov. first week of Dec.

Just an interesting point! So they will be on the till if you ask a staf member to check for them so they can re-order them in for you.

Ireland means nothing to Nintendo, ffs they don't even have an Irish Nintendo website. We're just lumped under the U.k but excluded from this zelda promotion. That's pure modern day sexism.

Was in picking up Grabbed by the Ghoulies for €35 and some lady was returning her cube with the zelda disc. GAME wouldn't take the bundle back coz the controller was missing the plastic sheeting. So I hung around an told her I'd buy one of the games off her. After all, it was only a "demo" disc €20 well spent

i just registered my zelda code, and i have 455 total, there is no other games on the gamecube that i want except this compliation, what do i do?

tman

you get 1000 for registering your cube...

metroid prime would be a good place to start racking up your stars:)

(shame everything is always sold out:dunno: )

oh yeah, you get 5 stars for every return visit.
you should be able to get enough stars by next crimbo:D

I bought Mario Kart:DD from repli on the forsale board. which had the zelda bonus disk included in the package. So maybe look around in shop for copies of DD with a little sticker saying Zelda bonus disk included.
Best 40 euro spent in a while

It shouldn't be that hard to get second hand, I would imagine that some of the people who purchased the Mario Kart: DD!! Gamecube pack would be willing to sell their disk. Place an ad in the Buy and Sell and you may be lucky.
