Rare Zelda Gamecube Japanese Collection

Presenting with you today is another special and rare game! More importantly, the main differences between the international versions of the Zelda Collection is that the Japanese version contains different main menu music, Majora's Mask emulation has more crashes and bugs. The Japanese version also contains the "disksys.bin", funnier how it is possible to eject and cause FDS errors so you could see Mario and Luigi chasing each other in the void of Space.

The second main issue is that FDS audio is completely inaccurate (most notable when Link dies in Zelda II). Unfortunately I had to cut short Majora's Mask because the game crashed upon entering the Clock Tower village. Note that my disc is completely scratch-free, no dirt, etc on it so that is an emulation issue on Nintendo's part.
Aside from the flaws, this is a really good collection only having 1,000 produced for Club Nintendo Japan fans. I paid a fortune for my copy and if people want to see more rare games,  please consider donating because it helps also with buying better video equipment. Hope you enjoyed this video. I also found development-related text in the ISO after examining the files. More details on this later.
