This Prototype Legend of Zelda Cartridge Can Be Yours for a Mere $150,000
Published on January 01, 0001
Why spend $15 HUC on a box-less copy of The Legend of Zelda for the original Nintendo Entertainment system when you can spend $150,000 on a mustard yellow HUC99 NES cartridge adorned with a faded label with the game’s name typed on it? It’s 
collectible craziness available right now on eBay.
Now I can understand paying a pretty penny for the factory sealed and graded copy of The Legend of Zelda for w88 the NES, but not much more than $500. I wouldn’t pay that much myself — I’d make my own box for 
a cheaper loose copy — but I understand the allure to a collector.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"5930417","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"the-legend-of-zelda","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); What I don’t get is why anyone would consider paying $149,500 more for this. I have no doubt that this is a prototype copy of The Legend of Zelda. There’s a video of the seller playing it, pictures of the 
prototype board inside the cartridge; nothing is making me question the validity of his claims. I’m just questioning his asking price. Is this one-of-a-kind yellow mess really worth that much?
If I have to ask, I’m probably not the target audience. Then who is? The Legend of Zelda NES Nintendo Prototype and VGA Factory Sealed copy graded 85 [eBay via Luxury Launches]
