SNES Legend of Zelda- TOP SECRETS Messages from Sahasrahla

This may be a dumb post and I may just be an idiot, but I have never seen this little booklet before and was wondering if anyone had any info on it. I found this inside a game I bought at a flea market...and I found it on eBay, people are asking $50+ dollars for it. Now I know that means nothing, people can ask whatever they want for something that is worth nothing. So I am not saying it is uncommon or rare, just wanting to find out what it was originally shipped with...or if anyone knows more about it. Thanks!

I haven't seen that booklet since I was about 12 or 13 years old. But, I do remember that it shipped with ALTTP. I think it just gave you novice type tips. Stuff like blow up walls with cracks in it. But, the cool thing is that you can't have a complete ALTTP without that little guy

Really? I don't remember seeing this at all. Maybe it only shipped with some copies of LttP.

My copy was a first run. I got it on the day it came out so it may have been something they later removed.

Probably. The game was in print until 1998, long enough for E rated copies.

I'd played new copies in 1992 and 1993 and don't remember that booklet. Maybe it wasn't in Canadian copies?

Must have been the first thing people lost once they opened the box. It is strange I had a first run copy too and don't remember it but that's means nothing. You also don't see them much listed in auctions as part of ALTTP complete copy, unless maybe I haven't noticed. So maybe everyone is really selling incomplete copies

[theclaw]

No idea. Most interesting Canadian copies are those French ones. Nintendo went through the effort to insert their translated dialog.

I still have mine! It's a sort of mini hint "book" - although hint pamphlet would be a better description. I don't remember there being any earth-shattering spoilers in there though. It was mostly little gameplay hints similar to what Sahasrahla would give you in-game.

I got ALttP for Christmas in 1993 when I was 11 years old. It's now in a drawer with all my other SNES manuals.

But geez... $50 for that? I wish I had a whole box of them!

I got my copy of LTTP in 92 or 93 and I still have mine sealed with that little gold sticker. 'Unopened' minty ones like that are probably only the only ones going for $50.
