Item description

Miyamoto's classic game, The Legend of Zelda (ザハイラルファンタジー ゼルダの伝説) for the Famicom Disk System.

From Wikipedia: In February 1986, Nintendo released the game as the launch title for the Family Computer's new Disk System peripheral. It made full use of the Disk Card media's advantages over traditional ROM cartridges with a disk size of 128 kilobytes, which was expensive to produce on cartridge format. Rather than passwords it used rewritable disks to save the game. It used the extra sound channel provided by the Disk System for certain sound effects; most notable are the sounds of Link's sword when his health is full, and enemy death sounds. It also used the microphone built into the Famicom's controller that was not included in the NES. This led to confusion in the U.S. as the instruction manual reads that Pols Voice, a rabbit-like enemy in the game, "hates loud noise" Blowing or shouting into the Famicom's microphone kills these creatures. However, they cannot be killed through use of the recorder, and on the NES must be killed with weapons.

You can see more about this microphone use in the video below.

The game has been tested on an actual Famicom system (Twin Famicom) and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Check the condition before buying. There is some bulging at the bottom of the box and someone has written on the side. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Famicom Disk System games before bidding.

Game will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
