On October 20, 2005, prominent gaming website joystiq.com published an article regarding an alleged beta cartridge of a third Zelda game for the NES, titled The Legend of Zelda III: The Triforce Saga. This cartridge was found via an eBay auction by a Richard Vialoux. Though he originally claimed not to have access to an NES to test the cartridge, he managed to find one the following day and posted a picture of what appeared to be the game's title screen on his television. At the time of the auction's completion on October 22, the game had sold for close to $3000 to a person with the username "Knight 7". Richard Vialoux later posted that he believed the buyer to be associated with the development studio Silicon Knights.
