Looking for Nintendo 64 & Zelda Game

memma94

It's my boyfriends Birthday in a little over 2 weeks and I really want to get him a Nintendo 64 console with preferably 2 controllers (would settle for one controller) and all the works (ie everything it needs to function properly), and I'd also love to get him The Legend of Zelda game for the console as he always talks about it (after researching online I think there may have been 2 or more for Nintendo 64 so I'd probably settle for the most popular one or pretty much any Zelda game to be honest). The thing is I have literally no knowledge about these consoles or games so I'm worried about buying online, I've been looking at ads but I'm worried that there could be things missing that I wouldn't know about or that one which I think seems buyable is actually bad quality or a rip off.

So, if you or someone you know are selling a Nintendo 64 console which you feel to be of good quality at a reasonable price that meets the requirements above, or you have seen such a thing advertised online, could you please help me out by replying! The same goes for the Zelda game. Someone selling both together would be the dream but I'm guessing that's a tall order.

P.S. Shipping to Ireland is a must.

So going by your post, what you need is:

A Nintendo 64 console
One or two joypads
Video cable
Power supply

And the most popular of the two Zelda games for the N64 is Ocarina of Time.

You could try The RAGE in Dublin, it may be pricer than buying from Adverts/Ebay etc...but at least you know you'll get everything needed with it. I will say this, it's going to look dreadful on any sort of modern tv...and at a minimum you should get an AV cable as a video cable, because the old rf cables used back in the day will make your eyes bleed these days when used on modern lcd/plasma screens.

+1 on the RAGE, if you're not in Dublin they do deliver and you can order through their Facebook page. Ocarina of Time is the more popular, but some would say Majora's Mask is the better (not me). You will probable get a copy of OOT cheaper than MM.

To complicate matters, Majoras' Mask needs the expansion unit...so for now, I'd recommend Ocarina of Time for simplicity's sake

OOOOh good point! when I got my N64 on ebay the previous owner had already put in the expansion pack so I didn't have to worry about that when getting Majora's Mask

The reason for it's deletion was included in the warning email you were sent. If you want to sell stuff, do so via Adverts.ie or ebay, this is not the place for it.

Okay cool, I didn't mean to offend you, I was just trying to help someone out, there is no need to be so offensive, I am not trying to turn a profit on this website or anything.

People should probably take a little more time to read the forum charter, rather than rapidly taking offence.
