Current Market Prices
PriceCharting hasn’t matched a catalog entry for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime on GameCube yet — typically a sign of very-low-circulation regional editions or a variant PSA tracks but the wider market hasn’t indexed.

Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime on GameCube. They complement the PriceCharting loose / CIB / sealed benchmarks above; they are not estimates and they are not blended into PriceCharting’s ungraded market prices.
Summary rows are title-level Heritage sale signals, sorted by format, recency, and realized-price signal. PSA production variants can price differently, so the sale records keep Heritage’s own variant notes visible instead of pretending every auction lot maps cleanly to a PSA variant row.
High-grade games can trade years apart, so older auction records stay visible; treat the latest-sale date as part of the comp, not just the dollar amount.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime GameCube worth grading?
Yes for clean, top-condition copies. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime has a healthy 12-copy graded population, and the higher-tier grades (9.4+) consistently command meaningful premiums over raw. Mid-tier grades (7-8) often net break-even after grading fees, so submission strategy matters.
How rare is a graded CIB copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime?
PSA tracks 9 graded CIB copies of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime for GameCube. The grade-tier breakdown above shows how those split across PSA’s numeric grades — top-grade copies (9.4+) are the scarcest and typically command the strongest premiums.
Should I buy a graded or raw copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime?
Depends on your goal. Graded copies cost more upfront but come with PSA’s authenticity + condition guarantee — the right move for buy-and-hold collectors. Raw copies are cheaper but require condition assessment yourself, and the grading lottery means a $50 raw cart can come back as a $25 PSA 7 OR a $200 PSA 9.4. Use the per-condition pop and price data above to calculate expected value before you commit.
Why does PSA track multiple variants of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime?
PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Metroid Prime on GameCube. That doesn’t mean only one variant exists — production codes that haven’t been submitted yet won’t appear on the census. Check the back of your cartridge for production-location markings (“Made in Japan”, “Made in Mexico”) and the box for ESRB-rating placement to identify your specific variant.
