The Zelda Gold Cartridge NES listing is the gold-colored cart of Nintendo's 1987 action-adventure. Its North American box had a cut-away window that showed the gold cartridge inside. This listing is the loose gold cartridge only, with no box or manual.
Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka designed The Legend of Zelda, and Nintendo R&D4 developed it. Nintendo released it in North America on August 22, 1987. You play alone as Link.
The quest is to rebuild the Triforce of Wisdom. Its eight pieces are hidden in eight dungeons across Hyrule. When all eight are found, a ninth dungeon opens for the final fight with Ganon, who has captured Princess Zelda.
The cart was one of the first games with an internal battery for saving, so your file stays on the cartridge. Finish the game and you unlock the Second Quest, which rearranges dungeons and locations and adds stronger enemies. Worldwide sales reached 6.51 million copies.
In North America, Zelda came on a gold-colored cartridge, and the original box had a cut-away window to show it. This listing is sold as the Zelda gold cartridge NES copy. The label and shell can differ between copies, so check the photos to see the exact Zelda gold cart you will receive.
We also carry the Legend of Zelda 5-screw cartridge and the gold Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Gold). Browse all NES games, or read about The Legend of Zelda on Wikipedia.
