As he plugged in the cartridge, the error message might make the viewers skip a beat. Fortunately, the avid user upgraded the console to ‘N64 Expansion Pak’, and Voila! The game unfolded in front of the screen. Moreover, it brought forward eight pre-set modes or what seems to be locations as per their names. The eight locations were:

  • Prologue Demo
  • Clock Town
  • Termina Field
  • Pirate Fortress
  • Goron Race
  • Zora Challenge
  • Woodfall Temple
  • Woodfall Temple – Odolwa Battle

Starting with Clock Town, the user learned that the inventory was absolutely full. Which meant that the players could do anything they want and the way they want. Merely because it was a demo cartridge that could be used as a preview before purchasing the complete game.

Nonetheless, the all-unlockable cartridge still exists. And the $8000 price tag would be more of an investment for the treasury of the avid fans. Could you be seeing yourself buying the rare demo cartridge of the N64 game title?
