Wild Prices for Copies of Legend of Zelda Break Records

Back in April, we told you about a sealed copy of the original Super Mario Bros which took a decent amount of $ 660,000 at auction. At that time, we wondered how long this note would stand up, and it turned out, it didn’t take a long time for recording it was broken. Today Heritage Auctions announced that he had sold a copy of the closed Zelda legend because almost a million dollars.

While this copy of Zelda’s legend was not enough to reach a sign of one million, it was very close, pulling a record $ 870,000 in the previous auction today. So what makes this copy of Zelda’s legend attract so much money? According to inheritance auction, there are several different reasons, and they all increase to make a copy of the super rare game.

One of the biggest contributors to prices is the fact that this is a copy of sealed with the Ranking WATA 9.0. For reference, a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. What was sold for $ 660K earlier this year has a rating of 9.6 WATA, so it’s actually in better condition than this copy of Zelda’s legend. The difference in the maker, in this case, is the fact that this is a very early production process.

When the inheritance auction explains it, most copies you might encounter are “rev-a” variants, but the previous production process has “NES TM” and “NES R” variant. The NES TM variant is the earliest, but inheritance explains that only one copy of the sealed NES TM is considered. This copy of the Zelda legend is the NES R variant which was only produced for several months at the end of 1987 before being replaced by the Rev-A variant, inflating the scarcity (and the price) significantly. Copies also bring the nintendo round quality seal, which helps bring further prices.

“The special copy of the world’s first adventure with a link, we don’t even need all hands to calculate the number of copies that are intended to exist in closed conditions from this” no rev-a “production process, and this copy is one of the best known From these examples, “wrote a legacy auction today. Again, we are allowed to wonder if this note will be damaged in the near future, but therefore only a few months since the last time we said such thoughts were hard, we would only wait and see what happened next.
