So I have just bought Twilight Princess. I was in the charity shop on my work break and there, on the DVD and game shelf there it stood - for the Gamecube! Now I remember hearing something about how this version is rare but I'm not too sure now because I found it in a charity shop for £3. So that leads me to two questions. 1 - Is the Gamecube version rare at all? And 2 - How long will it take to complete?

I don't know about the rarity of the video game in question, but I can safely say that it took me a hearty forty-hours to finish the game.

I'd have to check to be sure, but 40 hours seems like a bit much! Maybe not though; I can't remember. It seemed more like a 20-25 hour game. Shorter if you rush through.

Not sure how rare the game is.

Also, after some rather half-arsed fact-checking, it seems that Twilight Princess shipped 1.32 million units on the GC. So, I don't think it's too rare.

It's selling for $32 on Amazon right now, so that is indeed a great find. I remember I bought the Gamecube version when it came out, never finished it because I just wasn't having fun

It definitely isn't going for cheap on eBay, so £3 is a pretty amazing deal.

The game will last you quite a while too, but in my opinion, it's easily the weakest of the Zelda games.

It sounds like if you're goal oriented and finish it as quickly as possible, then you've got a 20 hour game on your hands, but if you prefer to explore and enjoy that then you have a 40 hour game.

I happened to end up with this game, and I started it but haven't finished it. 

I've seen Twilight Princess for Gamecube sold on eBay at least 10 times for over $70-90 sealed, and $50-60 opened. It took me 50 hours to complete, doing a bit of the side stuff.

Cheers guys, the varied times are giving me a rough estimate of how long it's gonna take. I'm more goal orientated so I'm thinking I will be done around the 30 hour mark. Also about the rarity, it seems like it is less available than the Wii version but as others have stated it is selling for quite a bit so I was lucky with the pricing :D

Its pretty hard to find. I bought my copy some weeks ago, and I paid $60AUD for it. About the equivalent of 2/3 the price for a new game, even thought it came out in 2006. Then again, I got the Wii version. Still, it's not easy to come by, and I really wanted it.
