The complete recording of me putting together a gold cartridge of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Game Boy. I'm so happy with how it came out!

The internal electronics board is from an authentic Nintendo cartridge that had a VERY damaged casing. (No nice Zelda cartridges were harmed in the making of this video!)

The gold casing is from AliExpress, "Replacement cartridge game card shell for GAMEBOY GB DMG game card Gold shell plated plastic".

The beautiful, holographic label is from Matthewmods on Etsy.

00:00 Getting all the pieces collected!
00:09 The gold casing
00:21 Clean off any fingerprints
00:43 Take a deep breath and apply the label sticker!
01:39 The two halves were pretty difficult to separate...
01:53 The new casing is an exact match for the original cartridge
02:29 The casing came with an authentic style screw
03:00 ...it was a LOT harder to screw in than I expected!
03:58 Finished! Let's test it...
04:09 BA-DING! I didn't even need to blow into it!
04:29 Fits perfectly in an original plastic case
04:40 The finished product!
