Did they ever make a Gold Cartridge of this game?


All my zelda games have been gold except for this one. I remember I got my SuperNES and this game on the same day and the game had been out for some time. But to date I have never seen a photo or an Ebay sell of this game where it was gold. Anyone ever have a gold copy?

No, there was never a gold cartridge for Link to the Past. Then again, Nintendo never made a "gold" version of Link's Awakening either.

Do they do gold versions for handheld Zelda games?
If so then I'm definately going to try to get Phantom Hourglass gold, if they do one.

The only difference (production and marketing wise) for this game was its box cover/cart sticker. From 1991 - 1995 it had the gold box/cart sticker, when it was re-released in 1996 it was given a "Best Seller Edition" seal, with a (burgundy)rocky background behind the master sword and shield.

The original box/cart design sold between 1991 - 1995 (if sold in a complete set) tends to go for 10 more bucks on Ebay.
