Game Description
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest is one of the most coveted Nintendo GameCube releases ever produced — a dual-game edition combining both the original Ocarina of Time and its enhanced Master Quest variant on a single disc. Distributed in limited numbers as a special promotional standalone with its own official case and manual, this edition was never sold at retail and bears the distinctive “Not for Resale” marking. It remains the only physical release that officially preserves Master Quest in console form, making it a centerpiece for serious Zelda collectors.
Developed by Nintendo EAD, this enhanced edition brings the 1998 masterpiece into the GameCube era with sharper visuals, refined controls, and a new layer of challenge. The included Master Quest campaign completely reimagines dungeon layouts, enemy encounters, and puzzle logic, transforming familiar temples into entirely new tests of skill. Players relive Link’s legendary quest across Hyrule, from Kokiri Forest to the Temple of Time, but with remixed designs that demand true mastery.
This exclusive release stands as both a tribute and a time capsule — representing Nintendo’s dedication to its legacy and its fans. As an officially pressed promotional disc, Ocarina of Time / Master Quest bridges two eras of Zelda history: the classic Nintendo 64 adventure and its re-engineered GameCube rebirth. For collectors, it remains one of the most historically significant and valuable GameCube titles ever produced.

- Enhanced resolution and smoother performance on the Nintendo GameCube
- Iconic storyline spanning Hyrule, the Temple of Time, and the Sacred Realm
- Full orchestral-style soundtrack and cinematic presentation of Zelda’s legendary tale
- Official Not for Resale promotional edition — highly sought after by collectors
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
The Master Quest expansion originated as the unreleased Ura Zelda project for the Nintendo 64DD, later reworked and completed for the GameCube. Nintendo distributed it as a limited promotional disc in early 2003 to fans who preordered The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker or purchased specific hardware bundles. While marked “Not for Resale”, the game shipped in its own full packaging — making it one of the most unusual and collectible editions in Zelda history.
Because it contains both the untouched classic and the challenging Master Quest variant, this edition is often called the “definitive console version” of Ocarina of Time. Its rarity, authenticity, and connection to Nintendo’s promotional legacy make it a prized showpiece in any Nintendo GameCube or Legend of Zelda collection.
