Versions, not a price table
Compare the exact edition and condition before comparing prices. The observations below were read on 11 November 2026; each value remains tied to its source, region and sale category.

Condition and region can dominate the price. A loose cartridge is not comparable with a boxed Collector’s Edition, a sealed copy or a graded item. Read the sold-listing details, postage and whether an accepted offer is merely showing its old asking price. The catalogue range and the individual 3DS sale answer different questions and should not be combined into one average.
Identify the edition
| Edition | Year | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| N64 cartridge | 2000 | Region; label variant; Expansion Pak required |
| GameCube Collector’s Edition | 2003 | Compilation disc and matching packaging |
| Majora’s Mask 3D | 2015 | 3DS region and standard versus special packaging |
| Nintendo Switch Online | 2022 | Expansion Pack membership; access while subscribed |
Cartridge authentication checks
Ask for clear photographs of the front, back and internal circuit board of the actual cartridge being sold. Compare them with a documented genuine copy of the same region and revision. PriceCharting’s cartridge guide identifies the board as stronger evidence than exterior appearance alone, while HitGaming warns that copied Nintendo markings and reused screws can appear on reproductions.
US Majora’s Mask cartridges are gold; the Collector’s Edition has the lenticular label, while standard versions can have a flat label. A gold shell alone therefore proves neither the special edition nor authenticity. Check that shell, label and board belong together. Replacement labels and repaired shells should be disclosed separately from whether the board is genuine. Use a seller with a return policy when photographs leave the assembly uncertain.
For playing rather than collecting, compare the complete hardware cost with Nintendo Switch Online. New purchases from the 3DS eShop ended on 27 March 2023; physical cartridges remain the relevant second-hand route.
Questions
What is a Majora’s Mask cartridge worth?
Use the dated source rows for the exact condition and region. The ranges are catalogue observations, not a guaranteed sale price.
Does a gold cartridge prove it is genuine?
No. Compare the actual board, shell and label with the same documented regional release.
Is the 3DS price a market estimate?
No. The $26.50 row is one reported completed sale, explicitly kept separate from a valuation.
