With a more modest fact, it reveals Kotaku than a copy of the first The Legend of Zelda sold for $ 3,966. The auction carried out through Yahoo Japan It has reached that figure for an original Famicom title and the reason for arriving at that price is truly unusual.
It all lies in the fact that this copy has un logo de Myojo Foods’ Charumera, un marca de ramen of the Japanese country. This is because in 1986, 1,500 game cartridges were raffled by Nintendo commemorating the 20th anniversary of the culinary franchise.
