Also, since the sealed first(-ish?) print version of Zelda NES sold for $870000 it seems prices of regular Joe versions of that game, like mine, have also risen. Looks like I could fetch a couple hundred euros for my copy if I wanted to now. But with that one I’ll also be keeping it.

Yeah, I can't imagine parting with my NES Zelda either. It's just so special to me. I remember when my mom gave away a bunch of our NES games when I was a kid. I hid the Zelda games away, so they wouldn't be included  

My favorite piece of physical media will forever be my gold collector's edition Ocarina cartridge, though. 

That was good thinking on your part.

Sadly my NES copy isn’t from my own childhood though. I got it around 8 or 9 years ago when I started ‘restoring’ lost things. It’s fully complete with the little secrets booklet and everything. Anyway I personally never had that game when it was current, because in my house we didn’t have a gaming system until N64. My aunt owned an NES and SNES with Zelda games, which introduced me, but those were all lost. The oldest one I have that’s been mine since the start is Ocarina of Time, and it still looks almost as good as it ever did.
