In 1996, the world was exposed to the Nintendo N64 console. Games like The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart, and F-Zero X explored the console’s unmatchable capabilities. And a user of the console has recently unleashed a rare cartridge of the game, The Legend of Zelda.

Never knew this beauty existed in its full strengths and no one knew

A YouTube account by the name of GetTheGregGames posted a YouTube shorts video. In the video, he cites the fact that he had purchased an $8000 game, which is supposedly the “grail” of the N64 library. Surprisingly, the cartridge happened to be a demo cartridge.

As he plugged in the cartridge, the error message might make the viewers skip a beat. Fortunately, the avid user upgraded the console to ‘N64 Expansion Pak’, and Voila! The game unfolded in front of the screen. Moreover, it brought forward eight pre-set modes or what seems to be locations as per their names. The eight locations were:

  • Prologue Demo
  • Clock Town
  • Termina Field
  • Pirate Fortress
  • Goron Race
  • Zora Challenge
  • Woodfall Temple
  • Woodfall Temple – Odolwa Battle

Starting with Clock Town, the user learned that the inventory was absolutely full. Which meant that the players could do anything they want and the way they want. Merely because it was a demo cartridge that could be used as a preview before purchasing the complete game.

What does the future have in store for Nintendo fans?

Unfortunately, N64 has become a forefather of the upcoming consoles. And while it has a legacy to impart to the video gaming community, Nintendo Switch is on the road to making its own. Notably, Splatoon 3 has already flourished with its release, and the future of Nintendo seems to be in good hands.
