If it isn't I'm sure you could find it on ebay. It would definitely make sense to release it by itself though.
Keep us posted on what Nintendo says.

Nintendo got back to me and - UGH - denied the existence of the upcoming Zelda bundle. At least they were quick to respond.
Then a whole bunch of gibberish about the Nintendo website.
*Sigh*
Thank you for contacting Nintendo. At this time, a Nintendo GameCube bundle as you described has not been announced for release. You never know what the future might hold, though, so keep checking our web site (www.nintendo.com) for the latest information.

Well, what did you expect? It's only been reported as a rumor at this point. Hopefully, if this is coming, they made note of your email at least to show people who already own Cubes would be interested in it.

Not to mention that MS and Sony's first party game's (with a few exceptions) pretty much suck.

Well I agree with your opinion(s) but I tread softly these days. I don't have a lot of time to debate back forth the merits of a certain manufactors definition of "quality". In addition I'm sure there are some titles out there... But no where near as many.
For those educated folks, I highly recommend reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maitinance. It has a great discussion on what "quality" is.

It's a magazine that easily appeals to those with "shit for brains". The cool thing is they mix in a lot of modern issues in society and politics.
So even though you are having fun reading it and looking and the pretty pictures you are learning. No joking here.

UH OH! Someone said shit. You're not alloud to say shit on these forums. You can't say shit. Or type shit.
Halo is a decent first party game. And thats about it. But most third party games are on all systems, like splinter cell, metal gear, prince of persia, lotr, etc...
Right now I have zero systems and am really curious if they're going to price drop soon. Suddenly I have no patience. I'd rather be a price drop then a bundle though.
And remember dont type shit.

I will bash something like Tao Feng or the 989 sports games etc. because they are poorly made and can't compare to the quality games in their respective genre.

Sorry to bring this thread out of the ether, but I was wondering if anyone had heard any new news about the Gamecube/Zelda bundle?
I don't have a GC yet, but had been thinking about taking the plunge. Especially since I have a streak going (NES, SNES, and N64 in the house). With the recent price drop and this Zelda bundle, I am thinking the time is now (well when it comes out, but you know what I mean).
Anything? Thanks in advance.

My guess is that Nintendo wants to get people to buy the $99 Gamecube now instead of waiting for the Zelda bundle, so they're waiting to announce it... or the whole rumor was completely wrong (but I don't think so).

On the other hand, some games on the other consoles do come with bonuses, but they are with the game, not as a preorder bonus. Example:
Panzer Dragoon Orta comes with Panzer Dragoon 1
Ninja Gaiden will come with the old Ninja Gaiden games.
The Shenmue games have old Sega arcade games.
And Shemue II came with a bonus disc, the DVD movie.
.hack also came with a DVD movie.
But yeah as far as first party bonuses go, Nintendo has an edge.

UPDATE:
October 06, 2003 - Earlier this year, rumors ran rampant that Nintendo would release another Legend of Zelda bonus disc (similar to the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time pre-order bonus) that would contain several of the classic titles. But with no confirmation from Nintendo the rumors were discredited and all prospects of a Zelda compilation disc were forgotten.
However, Nintendo has recently released artwork to retailers depicting a Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition disc. The disc will feature The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and a demo of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. From the available artwork, it looks like this disc will be included as a pack in with new GameCubes, although we hope we'll also see it as a bonus for those who order The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. While it most likely will be a straight port much like the Ocarina of Time disc, this is still a must have treat for all Zelda fans.
We'll update you with release date and how exactly to obtain as a copy as soon as the information is released. Meanwhile, check out the artwork yourself in our media pages below.
