The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker — GameCube, United States, Nintendo of America, 2003. US March 24, 2003. From GameCube & Game Boy Advance in the Zelda Games Gallery.

US pre-order bonus was the same Ocarina/Master Quest disc as Japan (offer extended to North America Dec 4, 2002) — again, a pre-order separate, not a box pack-in (see MQ-US).

A Player's Choice reissue exists (GameFAQs: 2004, same product ID/UPC) and a 2005 Wind Waker / Metroid Prime two-pack bundle (NintendoWiki other-releases list) — both are different boxes from the 2003 original. Gold-foil logotype printing on the original US cover is a commonly faked/flattened detail in reprint photos — check foil in hand.

Shown here at its verified native size, 561×800, the largest honest copy the Library holds for this box.

This page carries the verified front-and-back pair: use the flip control on the cover to turn the box over.

The US back panel: DOL P GZLE code, UPC 0 45496 96046 9, (C)2003 Nintendo of America, MADE IN U.S.A.
