Great video Brett. Always nice to hear you regale about how you saw that golden cartridge for the the first time at your friend's house. My personal favorite is when you conpare it to Lisa seeing all of Allison's trophies for the first time in "Lisa's Rival".
great video, Brett! I really enjoy how you explore these aspects of gaming that don't get talked about a whole lot. these videos of yours made me subscribe to laser time- hope we see them more and more.
Wow, those gold cartridges were amazing. They were so amazing and special , and when you played the game, it lived up to the look. I mean, Zelda was always considered like a great masterpiece , even when I was a kid. The ultimate adventure , the ultimate fantasy! Lol
So, a game that came out in 2012 was tied into an amiibo that came out in 2015, instead of the Mario Party 10 cold covering Mario got in the game? Yeah, oooookay, if you say so
I rented a chrome silver looking zelda 1 before back in the 80s and the cart was in excellent condition. Not a single mar or fading of any kind, Smooth appeared to be original paint. We rented both zeldas and I remember distintcly that zelda 2 was gold color and that it was interesting that the two games were different colors. As a kid, I thought that was awesome. Never seen another silver one again. When I try to find zelda 1 now, all I ever find is gold. Then I'm like why are they both gold?
great video! this was really interesting! I had the legend of Zelda II cart and I used to show it off to all my friends who all had the gray version. I thought I was the shit. this really gave me some nostalgia!
Wait, you mention the 25 and over, even 30 and over, and I'm in the 40 and over, we remember a time when Nintendo was known as a Game & Watch/arcade company!
The fact that TLoZ and BotW are polar opposites carries symbolic meaning, which cannot be understated when talking about Japanese creative media. Why gold for the western market then? Because that transcends the symbolism of the east and west with the help of alchemy. TLoZ has an outright invitation to go on a relatively straightforward journey to find the golden treasure (Triforce). Of course, as the games went on (and filled in the backstory with ALttP and then OoT), it came to become a lot more complicated. BotW has an amnesiac protagonist who has no clue about its significance. He's not looking for the Triforce, he's simply trying to figure out who he is, which is probably why he spends so much of the game wearing Blue, a color that before he had only been associated with when living a life of blissful ignorance on an island in Wind Waker. Take a look at the art for BotW and the game itself - three colours are prominent - Red (frequently stylized as orange because that's also appropriate for fire symbolism), Blue and Green - the colours of the GOLDEN Goddesses.
Oh my gosh?? Im glad im not the only one who was bothered by this! Every zelda cartridge or disc deserves to be in gold! You also should have mentioned that pokemon black and white, black and white 2 got black cartridges, and they were the only DS cartridges to have a different color.
I was really hoping tears of the kingdom would go back to the gold cart due to the 70 price tag. But disappointed. Well not completely disappointed in 60 hours in and wow but still go for a gold cart.
Zelda was a marketing strategy. They intentionally did that. The first time I saw zelda was at a family friends house. They had a nintendo and out of all the grey catridges. There was one shining glowing thing that stood out. It was Zelda in Gold. as a 6 year old I didnt care what the game was about. I just wanted to play it because it was the only Gold cartidge. Nintendo literally did a willywonka golden ticket on the american audience. But yeah this guy is telling the truth. Gold was the main marketing to zelda. And no cartridge had a gold cartidge.
These vids are great, but I'm concerned that someone is actually holding a camera on him. You really can't get a cheap tripod/plain old box to set your camera on? Where is my patreon money going?? :D
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.

The feels
My school just made me read that book.
Rex me too lol
That's right Soda Pop! 🥤
I forgot all about the gold carts. BotW would have made an awesome tiny gold cart. Cool bowling Brelston.
Dang it Nintendo you had one job! To make everything golden!
anything with Brett is gold.
Great video Brett. Always nice to hear you regale about how you saw that golden cartridge for the the first time at your friend's house. My personal favorite is when you conpare it to Lisa seeing all of Allison's trophies for the first time in "Lisa's Rival".
I really liked this content, been listening to you guys for quite a while and am always glad to see quality put into what you put out.
Always dug the Gold theme & loved the US box arts 👍🏻
I thought the golden cartrige was a special anniversary thing but apperantly not. Well, that cleared up a lot of things
To me the gold cartridge always meant that it's special.

Great video. These are always a treat
The Gold Mario Amiibo was a tie-in to NSMB2 for 3DS, which had a golden flower that would turn Mario gold like the Amiibo.
So, a game that came out in 2012 was tied into an amiibo that came out in 2015, instead of the Mario Party 10 cold covering Mario got in the game? Yeah, oooookay, if you say so
Good info. Could not help but crack-up seeing a My Pet Monster in the background. Lol my childhood

HeyShutUpThisIsBrett
That research me look on box back.
FUCK THAT GAME IN IT'S STUPID FACE
A giant robot elephant, shooting balls at you.
Another great video! Keep them coming Brett.
I love the golden Zelda cartridges. I have both the N64 ones.
Our copy of Zelda 2 got played so much the area on the cartridge where you pull the cartridge out wore down to the black that is under the gold.
A link to the past was my favorite growing up. Amazing game.
These are so good
Wait, you mention the 25 and over, even 30 and over, and I'm in the 40 and over, we remember a time when Nintendo was known as a Game & Watch/arcade company!
Thanks Brett
I got a gray cartridge 20 Years ago cause I've never seen the original zelda in a gray cart. I still have it and will never get rid of it.
Of course I also have my original gold from 1987
It's a shame Breath of the Wild's cartridge wasn't gold colored.
I own one of those
the exact information i requested from youtube at 11 in the morning
Great video guys, keep up the awesome
Koji Kondo signature. Nice.

Who is this guy? Does he even have any Legend of Zelda tattoos?!
I always thought the NES version was different shade of brown.
Another people in the world: Nice, a Zelda game
USA people: WHY MY PHYSICAL MEDIA IS NOT GOLDEN?
I own a gold ocrina time
TuBz i got mine for 20 at a flea market 😲 i snatched it up immediately
I had the gold n64 oricana of time cartridge as a kid 😍
Great video brett.
Stay Golden Girlsssss!!
Yes! Another Brettistory!
Nice one Brett
Still waiting for that LoreMpire podcast.
I Have the Golden Cartridge of Majoras Mask
I was really hoping tears of the kingdom would go back to the gold cart due to the 70 price tag. But disappointed. Well not completely disappointed in 60 hours in and wow but still go for a gold cart.
How many Gold copies of Ocarina exsist?
But the gold one was the re-release, the gray was the original
Nope. The original was gold.

uh, weird, i have a gray ocarina of time cartige.
All the links have gold stands...
The original is what counts my man
Breath of the Wild cart isn't gold? NO BUY. I REFUSE.
But what did they taste like, tho?
I always associated gold to Zelda, that's a shame they didn't stick to this idea. I think they're just lazy enough to continue the trend.
I like it 🤝
“Gold Standard” .....heh
You are showing a fake golden cart for zelda at 2:19 lol
I have the gold Zelda does anybody want to buy it
