Zelda in China

Zelda OOT was one of the launch title of the iQue Player. The console itseft is only a controller containing an N64-on-a-chip with some enhancement like real-time-clock and USB.

For buying you had two option either go to an iQue station to download the game or buy the game online and download it into the iQue using an USB cable (which I've done myself ;) ). It was also possible to download a electronic version of the manual within the iQue tough a paper version was also available in store.
