The secret is a big one, something extra special Nintendo of America decided to put into the North American version of Wind Waker. This secret is not in the Japanese version of Wind Waker to our knowledge, so if you only have the Japanese version of the title it is most likely that you will miss out on the secret.
If you thought the bonus disc with the Ocarina of Time and Master Quest was great, you’ll be glad to know this secret: The original videogame, The Legend of Zelda, which first appeared on the NES in 1987, is playable through The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker for the Nintendo GameCube. Not only that, but you can connect the Game Boy Advance to your GameCube and take The Legend of Zelda on the go!
Yes, this shocked even us at GCA, until one lucky staff member unlocked the game, and started enjoying the classic title.
We don’t have many details yet, as we just confirmed this news about twenty minutes ago. In Wind Waker, at night you will see those little circles that light up to indicate treasure. However, to find The Legend of Zelda, you have to find a one of those little circles during the day, and grab the treasure. What is strange, however, is that the spot seems to be different in each game, and it seems to change each day at random. This makes it very tricky to find, and Nintendo has done a good job of hiding the secret, because even though we have told you how to find it, it won’t be in a fixed place. It looks like once you find the game, you will be able to play the entire game exactly as it was in 1987 from beginning to end. You will also be able to save your progress via the GameCube Memory Card. (This does not use additional blocks of memory.)
The game itself appears to be unchanged from the original NES 1987 version. There are no graphical enhancements, and the sound is exactly as it was in 1987 (mono). It should be noted that on the Game Boy Advance, you can not save your progress, and the game is only available for as long as the Game Boy Advance is powered up and running.
