New York – A sealed cartridge of The Legend of Zelda for the old Nintendo Entertainment System has sold for a "world record" sum of $870,000 (about ¥95.8 million), auction house Heritage Auctions said in a statement Friday.
The cartridge, dated to 1987, is still in its original packaging and trumps the previous world record sale of a video game — $660,000 for a 1986 Super Mario Bros. cartridge sold in April — according to the auction house.
