Current Market Prices

PriceCharting hasn’t matched a catalog entry for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest on GameCube yet — typically a sign of very-low-circulation regional editions or a variant PSA tracks but the wider market hasn’t indexed. Use the eBay sold-comps links below to check recent transactions directly.

Auction House Graded Sales

Heritage Auctions and Goldin sold results below are real auction transactions for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest 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 auction sale signals, sorted by format, recency, and realized-price signal. PSA production variants can price differently, so the sale records keep each auction house’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 / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest GameCube worth grading?

Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (9) outweighs CIB and loose for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest, indicating sealed is where collector capital concentrates. CIB and loose grading is viable but margins are thinner after fees.

How rare is a graded sealed copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest?

PSA tracks 9 graded sealed copies of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest 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 / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest?

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 / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest?

PSA recognizes 3 distinct production variants of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker / Ocarina of Time / Master Quest on GameCube. Variants reflect real production differences — different factories (Made in Japan vs Made in Mexico), packaging die changes, ESRB-rating retrofits added partway through the console’s life, or Players Choice reissues from later runs. Collectors price them differently because rarity diverges, and PSA tracks each on its own population row so the data reflects the real market structure.
