if you like zelda you should try the new twilight princess. that game is so awesome. i just got a gamecube a few months ago, for practically the same reasons why you want one. i got it used for $60, but i also got a year's worth of free game or movie rentals. you should try looking to see if there are any deals at movie rental stores like Blockbuster or Hollywood video. good luck
For now, gamestop has the best lowest price. Give it some time though.. You just might be able to pay $30 pretty soon.
