It's kinda crazy this exists??
i had 2 copies of this. my sister broke both of them
a neat compilation given the era it released in but zelda 1 and 2 dont hold up and oot and majora both suffer from massive emulation issues. both have major input delay and framerate issues and majora just flat out crashes often. happened 3 times to me in the course of a single playthrough. not fun.
play these games elsewhere.

Imagine being a kid and this is the first console game you get.
I got this AND Wind Waker for Christmas.
It was my first real introduction to the Zelda series, and my young little mind was blown

I played this collection of zelda games so damn much as a kid.
a great collection of games, but counting this one you can say the best zelda games are the ones on the gamecube :)
I really appreciated having a copy of OoT and MM that I could play on the Gamecube, those two games are very good to great. However, they were a bit rough technically speaking, and also the other two games in the collection honestly didn't do much for me, bounced off both of them pretty quick like. Overall, you'd be better off just playing the 3D games elsewhere.
Great games, obviously. But this really isn't the best way to play any of them.

✨Nostalgia✨ & objective opinion
It was released as an actual collectible you had to order on Nintendo's website using points. Four amazing Zelda games (the NES episodes + the N64 ones) on a single disc. A few emulation issues with the N64 games but nothing too horrible. A great value.
I wanted this collection so bad when I was a young kid and I was absolutely over the moon when I finally got a copy. This was the collection that introduced me to my favorite game ever for the first time. I watched the retrospective mini movie over and over and over again because I was so enthralled with the series. I have heard complaints of the N64 games translating poorly onto this collection but I've played the originals and even going back to these I never found an issue with glitches or crashing or anything like that and on top of that I think the GameCube controller greatly enhances the gameplay of Ocarina and Majora. It was magical to have this growing up and this continues to be one of my most prized video games in my collection, let alone on the GameCube. Though, if I must take off my rose-tinted glasses I do have to admit that the original NES games have their worst versions on this platform. I love the GameCube controller but it absolutely does not work with these two games. Still, quite a bang for your buck since all of these games are starting to get expensive individually and come on they slap no matter what! (yes, even Zelda II that game is great y'all stop being mean and jumping on the bandwagon)
My rating is somewhat of an average on how I feel about each game in the collection, but this is also a buyer’s beware and a rating of how the collection is as a set of ports. This collection has heavy freezing issues with Majora’s Mask, and general framerate and emulation quality problems with Ocarina of Time. It’s not a good collection of ports nor is it even slightly the ideal way to play any of the games on the collection anymore. Best to skip!
Contains Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask. An excellent collection of classic games.
Neat collection. Has some emulation issues, has two of the worst games of the series, neat collection.
nintendo would never put out something this good. Zelda 1, Zelda 2, and a wind waker demo? 10
*Please note this isnt a review of the games, its only looking at the ports from a technical perspective
This is a decent compilation, the games that are meant to output at 240p do, and since OOT and MM are now being rendered at 480p they can be output at 480i or 480p, so its looking good so far right, well for zelda one and two it is, but the n64 titles have bad framerate drops down into even the single digits, now this is still the best version of the original OOT and MM, but the frame rate inconsistency drags it down.

Im so glad i still have this disc
Really great collection, but was missing ALttP. Emulation is pretty good on most games. MM has some small issues, but still playable. If you could get this on its own for the Game Cube, you had a solid collection of classic Zelda titles.
zelda on gamecube!
Four great games.
This was the greatest pre-order bonus nintendo has ever made.
Such nostalgia for this collection! Even the 20-minute Wind Waker demo and retrospective videos.
I spent my childhood wandering around Clock Town and Kokiri Forest not really knowing what to do. When I finally discovered how to leave Kokiri Forest, my mind was blown. This was my introduction to video games.

MM, OoT and WW is good. The rest are meh.
A great collection all around, MM crashes a lot on here but still a great package all around.
Great way to play some classic Zelda games for the time, unfortunatley the ports could've used some more work to iron out the wrinkles.
Extremely solid collection for the time. The interface is sleek and Gamecube marketing-esque, with a nice remix of the series theme and artwork and a blurb to describe each game included. Emulation is good but not great, but N64 on Gamecube so shortly after those games were new is a sight to behold. Though it feels very strange to jump from Zelda II straight to Ocarina, as a kid I only later heard about aLttP (and I guess I didn't watch the series history video included on the disc)
All the cool kids with platinum DOL-001s grew up with this and spent an absurd amount of time in the Wind Waker timed demo. Shoutout to those who loaded the dungeon save and walked backwards to get 20 minutes of the Dragon Roost Island theme.
