"Prompting a collective sigh of relief rather than full, lager-fuelled, throwing-chairs-out-of-windows excitement, Nintendo of Europe confirmed that a bonus disc will release with Zelda: The Wind Waker in Europe, as it has in Japan and will in the US.
Doubtless aware that anything to the contrary would have been met with Continent-wide riots, NoE MD David Gosen confirmed that the extra disc was planned at the GBA SP press conference earlier this week.

Characteristically skirting specifics ahead of an official announcement, Gosen stated that NoE had yet to decide what it planned to do with "our disc".

What is on this Bonus Disc? Is it the N64 version of Zelda or something else? Will it include all the Zelda games released up to press?

So do we yet know if all copies of Wind Waker will have OOT and Ura, or if it's only a limited number of pre-ordered ones...?

Ocarina of Time + it's unreleased expansion pack.

And a couple of demo's of up coming comes, which by the time it's released here I'm guessing will be..F-Zero and uh..something else.

Cheers WS, I always wanted ZOT but I had sold my N64 before I got the chance. Is it going to be updated or just a straight port? Is it all going to be one DISC for the expansion? Cheers.
