The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition

About
The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition is a free promotional disk which was originally given out to Nintendo Power members with 5 or more registered games at Nintendo.com. The disk also comes free with a new purchase of a Nintendo GameCube, a renewal to Nintendo Power or from purchasing a subscription to the magazine. This game even has its own Player's Guide, which is rare for a promotional game. Despite the fact that all the games were not originally created for the GameCube, all four games have been specially modified to be played on the GameCube with their original graphics. It is also the first, and currently only, time that Majora's Mask has been re-released in the United States. (This is likely to change soon, as Europe and Australia have already gotten a Virtual Console release, and Japan is expecting one sometime in April.) This collection of games is most likely to be coveted by many of the hardcore Zelda fans, as well as the new gamers. It brings back four of the most popular Zelda games in all their glory. Link's very first quest, his second quest, the first time he went 3D and the journey through Termina are all included.

It was also released in Europe, there were several ways to obtain the disc: The game was initially bundled in a limited edition Mario Kart: Double Dash!! GameCube package. Nintendo later made the title available to Gamecube owners who mailed them proof of purchase of certain first party Gamecube titles. Eventually the disc could even be purchased from the Nintendo of Europe website in their stars catalogue (a scheme that offers items in return for 'stars' collected in leaflets with all Nintendo games) for 4500 stars.

Games
The disk contains a full version of the following games:
 * The Legend of Zelda
 * Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
 * The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
 * The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Other contents:
 * Wind Waker special movie
 * A 20-minute playable demo of The Wind Waker, which allows you to play three different scenarios from the game. There are no barriers or limitations to this demo (gameplay wise) except the 20 minute time limit, after which the game resets.

Problems
Although, the game mentions Sound Irregularities on the disc as a result of porting Majora's Mask to the GCN, no mention was made of another widespread issue. It seems to be common for the game to freeze play without warning.
