By the way, the Brazilian version, even though having the North American version inside, it is PAL-M not NTSC. PAL-M is a mix of PAL color coding with NTSC resolution, so it works at 60hz.

No, it's in NTSC, it's literally just the label. The brazilian n64 consoles themselves were converted to be PAL-M, they worked with NTSC games just fine. you can even switch the crystal inside a brazilian PALM n64 and make it NTSC, it's that easy.

Man, I'm not sure how or WHY you don't have more viewers and subs.. This Channel is fricken Historical!! Great stuff please keep it up. I've gone through alot of your vids and its amazing. :) Love the fact that you don't push the price in peoples face either like alot of others do.
It's amazing how many English Friendly/NTSC subsets there are out there. Under the Japanese Region: Asian, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore/Indonesia/Malaysia. Under the US Region US, Mexico/South America. Brazil I consider it's own set. It doesn't have a US based serial on it.
I made the horrible mistake of gifting my n64 along with all my n64 games including a 1.0 cold cart ocarina of time to my uncle. Obviously he treated my n64 I had since I was 7 like an abused kid.I had it for 16 years. One of the worst mistakes of my life.
Gradiente officially sold nes, snes, game boy, game boy color, nintendo 64 cartridges and consoles on Brazil. My snes had a sticker labelled "by gradiente" near the cartridge slot. Game boy classic and color cart had a sticker labelled "GRADIENTE and a bunch of numbers".
I have such a strong memory of having a blue cartridge for my Ocarina of Time when I was younger, but I lost it, and now I'm so convinced that this memory is incredibly untrue because it clearly doesn't exist, unless my parents got me a bootleg from a fleamarket, which I doubt.
The likely scenario is that they bought it second hand from someone who used a donor shell from a blue cartridge game and swapped out the circuit boards for a custom look. Otherwise, it was a reproduction (which were rare when the game came out).
I have the Australian collectors' edition gold cartridge with the box and manual, too bad i didn't take much care of the box over the years as a kid but i kinda managed to restore it and keep it in a prism form lol.
Ebay is a huge marketplace, if you keep watching for them you'll notice mostly the same ones appearing: Mario Party 3, Pokemon Stadium 2, Ocarina of Time, Star Fox, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Tennis, Majora's Mask gold then a few really rare ones like Yoshi Story will get re-listed occasionally. All the others are much harder to track down and sometimes only appear a couple times a year.
Actually, at a second-hand store in Australia, I've seen grey carts with the Australian ratings on them, so there's that. I haven't seen mention of these on the internet, but I've seen them! Also, the gold one is rather common if you're in those stores, at least around me.
The only major differences is that 1.01 (gray cart NA, EU, JP) patched a singular swordless link bug which would activate with no sword and riding epona. This patch fixed just one way of this, and you can still do the bug. Version 1.02 (Gray cart, 2000 release, NA, EU, JP) changed Ganon and Ganondorf's blood from red to green to maintain lowest ESRB rating and replaced the fire temple theme. All carts have the same cart loading times.
Since the Gold Collector's Edition version was the only version released here in Australia, it is a very common game. :) (Although I find it funny how all the Gold copies were labelled Collector's Edition on the box and yet we didn't ever get a non-collectors edition. xD ) Great video, by the way! Very informative and interesting.
Like I said in the vid Australia only got a gold cart. It's hard to judge rarity for a game in another country, from what I see on Ebay the Aussie OoT is very pricey, but that may be due to exchange rate.
They did get the iQue (Plays some Chinese N64 ROMs), but while it has it's praises (No lag, faster text, fast load times), it also has it's flaws (ROMs don't behave like N64 ROMs, OoT's actor spawn glitch is more frequent, not that many games).
I learned a lot from this video about the origins of my all time favorite game. What’s strange is my gold North America cartridge (pre-ordered version) is the same color as the Australia version. It is aged and shows signs of wear. Probably why it’s discolored. The key features to knowing it’s the North American version is the logo and text placement and a darker shade of gold section on the sticker.
Intresting.. why have the Australian OOT on the Front Label "EU" and on the Back Label English, French and German?. Is that the same as in Europe?. Have the game also german ingame text?
I have the PAL version, as I am german. The game has indeed english, french and german language. I even played through the game with all languages. Majora's Mask also has spanish language. Newer games have usually five languages: english, french, german, spanish and italian. On Gamecube and Wii you have to change the language through the GCN/Wii menu, though, if you want to play the OoT/MQ disc in another language.
Very nice, I have the Taiwan Only variant as well. I saw it pop up on a random search on ebay, sent the guy an offer and he took it. I would actually say the Taiwan Only variants are a bit more rare than HK Only. I see HK variant titles quite a bit more than Taiwan Only variants on ebay. Fun fact there are only a total of 5 in the Taiwan Only set. 3 in English (Zelda OOT, Diddy Kong Racing and Super Mario 64), 2 in Japanese (Pilot Wings 64 and Super Mario 64). You can tell which language the Super Mario 64 is pretty easily by the front label (US/PAL style artwork=English/NTSC, Japanese style artwork=Japanese/NTSC).

Hey, did you try checking it's trade code. Many people talk, that trade code can tell you when the game was released and which version of the game it has (i'm talking of concrete version, not the translation). So there 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 versions of the game, Goldens were made first after demos, so they're containing an original release, while re-releases lik "Gamers choice" is updated version. It's not gold, but it's more playable - less bugs, but also some censorship allowed, like blood became green and chanting in Fire Temple removed.
yeah I recently saw one of those gold not for resale carts on ebay but they were asking like $256, in my opinion that is WAY over priced. but maybe it's not, what do you think?
The reason that the Hong Kong Cart is in English is because for the past 156 years, until 1997, they had been under the sovereignty of the British crown, thus they spoke English.
I would always keep Zelda ocarina of time along with Majora's Mask, donkey kong 64, Mario 64, Castlevania 64, banjo kazooie, starfox 64 and Glover 64 no matter what hopefully
Recently acquired "2" gold cartridges, 1 in box. 2 DK64, 1 in box and Conker; bad fur day for n64. Conker for n64 I paid a nasty premium, but well worth it.
Did the Store demonstration cart come in a box you didn't show it? And im guessing the store demonstration and the ntsc collectors edition gold carts are both 1.0? And standard ntsc grey cart are 1.1?
Ocarina of Time is the highest selling Zelda game on any single platform- barely outsold Twilight Princess on Wii, but it still has the highest sales of any Zelda game on any one console.
I take it that the gold collector's edition was not and is not a thing in the Japan market? Same for the first NES game? I showed a Japanese gamer friend pictures of the OoT gold edition and he was utterly surprised.. and then I was surprised.
I'm from Australia and I have the gold OOT cart is it rare? I actually don't know I'm only interested to know if ya know if it is v1.0 or 1.1 tho I'm not sure!!
mine is gold with a 19 on the back unlike what you are showing in any of the other versions? what version is this can't seem to find anything on google
English, French and German are, like, the standard European languages for games. If they cba or don't have time to translate most of the languages, they and Spanish are the only ones you would usually find on there. Especially German since NoE is based there. :3
They speak English (as well as Cantonese) in Hong Kong so it’s not all that surprising it’s not in Chinese. They also released the game in Chinese on ique I believe
Its not that strange the cart was in English. It is a hang over from when Hong Kong was still part of the British Empire. When Britain handed back Hong Kong in 1997 they set stipulations that China had to comply with. One was that the democratic system had to be retained for a time of no less than 50 years. Another part they stipulated was that the English language also had to be retained as an official language for again a minimum of 50 years. So English is still an official language there and most still learn it at school to this day.
