Also known as: The Legend of Zelda Collection (JP)

The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition is a collection of the two NES titles (The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link) and the two Nintendo 64 titles (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask), as well as a 20-minute demo of The Wind Waker.
Unfortunately, the emulation quality prevents this from being an ideal way to play the games, with Majora's Mask in particular suffering from constant freezing issues that were not present in the original N64 game, sometimes leading to full-on lockups (which, due to the original game's quicksave feature, makes the journey much more difficult). In addition, the ending cutscene for Ocarina of Time was made into a 450 MB pre-recorded video file, since the music would get de-synchronized as a result of the slowdown being different in the emulator (later releases would instead correct this by patching the cutscene timings directly).
As an interesting aside, this is also the first game released in PAL territories to completely ditch 50Hz support, and one of only three GameCube games to do so (the others being Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Geist).

Hidden Banner and Text
The tgc disc images for The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link actually contain their own banners and text for the GameCube menu. The text is rather crude, so they most likely weren't meant to be visible, as the disc images for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask lack any info. The banners themselves are still used on the save files for the respective games. The text for Adventure of Link is actually too long and gets cut off. It should end with "adventure some quest yet..."

The Japanese Zelda Collection still has a banner with text for both games, but for some bizarre reason uses the name and copyright for The Adventure of Link and text describing The Legend of Zelda for both. The banner itself also has a different design, possibly an earlier version. The text is slightly different, written in all-caps English and has less pretty formatting.
The descriptions for the Japanese disc images are actually much longer and contain the text for The Adventure of Link! At least, what seems to be left of it, anyway.

Hidden Credits
Majora's Mask contains hidden credits for the emulator developers. The screen can be accessed with the following button code while holding L + R + Z and using D-pad for the directions:
- Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right
- X, Y, B, A
- Up, Left, Down, Right
- A, Start
Pressing B will close the screen and resume the game.
Debug Text
The game has a ludicrous amount of debugging and SDK messages, such as references to N64 accessories. Due to the game's structure, they are duplicated multiple times throughout the filesystem.

Nintendo 64 Emulator
Present at various locations in the emulator's executable are the names and GameIDs of some other Nintendo 64 games explicitly supported by the emulator. Interestingly, the unreleased Panel de Pon is among this list. The GameIDs are used to identify the ROM when setting up various aspects of the emulator configuration, like controller bindings and where save data is stored, among other things. The games' full titles are used when generating GameCube save data.

Regional Differences
Progressive Scan Screen
| US | Japan |

In the US version, the progressive scan prompt has a darker look consistent with the rest of the game. In the Japanese version, it appears following the Club Nintendo logo sequence.
Main Menu
| International | Japan |
|---|---|
The international versions play the Hyrule Field theme from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Bonus Disc. A new arrangement of the overworld theme from the first Zelda game was created for the Japanese version.
Additionally, the Japanese version gives more specific release dates for each game.
