Hey guys, I put up my Gameboy Pocket Zelda Bundle in Price Check yesterday found here (strictly for reference):

http://nintendoage.com/forum/mess...

I was looking at it and thought that the manual was smaller than it should be.  I have the game (non-greatest hits version) CIB and I compared the manuals.  The manual with the GBP bundle is smaller and has different artwork inside.  I did a quick eBay search last night (searched: links awakening manual) and there weren't any active or completed listings with this smaller manual.  Maybe this smaller manual was exclusive to the GBP bundle?  Is this a rare(r) variant than the normal big manual?



Here are some pics for reference:

I've always been puzzled that I am the original owner of a Player's Choice copy, but my manual is a DMG-ZL-USA while the cart is a -1 and the box is a -1.

The player's choice releases originally came with DMG-ZL-USA and DMG-ZL-USA-1.

And who knows, maybe DMG-ZL-USA-2 too!
