How to play Gamecube games on a computer?

How can I play the old 2D Zelda games without an NES?

  • I don't have any of the old game consoles- the oldest I have is GameCube. I want to play the old 2D Zelda games but not on an emulator because 1. it's illegal and 2. I don't want to have to download anything on my computer (I'm not technologically savvy and it sounds complicated). I heard that you can buy some old games that you can play on the 3DS and Wii with points you buy. Can someone tell me which old Zelda games I can get on which new consoles (I have both 3DS and Wii) and how to get them? As many old Zelda games you can find. Thanks in advance.

  • Answer:

    If you want to play them like on the NES, alls you gotta do is download an emulator for your computer! Theres a lot of them out there, so if you need help just look some up on youtube!

for the wii, just go to the virtual console and type in zelda in the search field. i think there are 5 games you can buy, zelda i, zelda ii, a link to the past, ocarina of time, majora's mask. there might be more, but i haven't been to the vc store in quite a while. for the 3ds, it's basically the same thing.
