The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Saudi Arabia/Singapore box *drools*

This is one rare case of there being an official game with the ESRB on it to have a different box on it in two different locations, have a look:

The cartridge is the same, as is the manual I think.

One other example I think might be Custom Robo for GC, I think Canada got the JP art, while the US got a more generic one just featuring the main robot?

Can Americans confirm that was their box?

As for Zelda, damn I'd love to get that, minus the green triangle on the back cover and obviously the SA label, it's exactly like a NA box. Looks way better than the actual NA box. :( It'd be a nice collector's item as well. :D
 
I'm pretty sure the Limited Edition cover that came with the Zelda 3DS in the UK had a reversible cover, so you could flip between gold cover and pretty Hyrule Field cover.

I love it.

I am living in Saudi Arabia and when the game was released i had the choice of getting one of the two as both were available here
i prefered the golden one and i wanted that club nintindo code to get the soundtrack cd and the other one didnt have it.

My case has some comic panel looking things with cgi robos in each one. looks better than this one but not by much.

edit: yea, it looks like our US boxart is the same as the JP one. I hated the CG art craze last gen.

So it might've been a pre-release box then. Thanks. :) You got yours in a store in person right? Sometimes online stores ship Canadian versions which feature bilingual boxes.

Yup, from a store. I think it was an ebgames or something but it was so long ago that i'm not super sure.
