"Rare Sealed Zelda Game Could Fetch $800K at Auction"
TL;DR
A Californian named Kiro stumbled upon a sealed copy of 1987's The Legend of Zelda, initially considering selling it for $17,000 before realizing its true value. After getting it appraised, he discovered it was from the game’s first production run, making it extremely rare. Kiro has now entrusted Heritage Auctions to handle its sale, with expectations that it could fetch over $700,000, following the success of a similar auction in 2021. He plans to use the proceeds to build long-term wealth for himself and his family.
