Great collection, but lacking a key component

User Rating: 9.6 | The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition GC
The LOZ series has a special place in my heart (and the hearts of many). So few games can garner such a felling of wonder, exploration, adventure, and greatness as the LOZ games. This collection has most of the games that exemplify this great series, including a demo for "The Wind Waker" for the gamecube....but is lacking a key and very wonderful (one of the best) games in the series--Zelda III a Link to the Past (for the SNES.
--Does this detract from the experience overall? Not completely. It seems Nintendo chose to leave out this gem since zelda four swords adventure already included it for the gamecube, or using a gameboy player for the gamecube you could play the GBA version. Either way the overall package is a good one, with the original LOZ, LOZ II-the adventure of Link, Zelda Ocarina of Time (considered by many to be the best in the series to date), Majora's Mask (Sequel to OOT), and a demo for TWW. The menu system is done very well to play these games, and finding/saving your game is a cynch. The emulation is fantastic and complete; I haven't noted much in the way of bugs thus far. The demo for TWW is a great example of the first dungeon in the game and more than tantilizes your taste buds for more.
--overall the whole package is perfect for those new or rather used to the series, as many of the key games are together in one. There are more than enough games here and gameplay to keep you occurpied for a very, very long time. The addition of A Link to the Past or perhaps some of the game boy games would have been nice, but overall a highly recommended package!!
