First on my list - The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds and TLoZ: Godess of Wisdom.

Any suggestions?

What do you mean by "investing" in it? I quite don't understand.

I've read about people re-programming games. Google Zelda Parallel Worlds and the links will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

No. As cool as it sounds, I don't have the time for that right now. Or a computer.
I have found games on Amazon and eBay for sale. Is that copyright infringement or are there loop holes?

I think that's called buying a bootleg. While they are on Amazon, they aren't officially licensed by Nintendo so it's probably illegal to make money from an already existing IP.
Even then, ROMhacks are (should) be free anyway.
I wouldn't bother with paying money for them.

...I wouldn't.
