We’ll admit, this design is very similar to what you’ll find for the GBC version in North America, but it’s worth checking out again, all the same. It’s a classic format for the series, with the title and sword\/shield symbol pasted against a gold-y beige backdrop. Perhaps not the most stunning design out there, but it has become somewhat synonymous with Zelda over the years.<\/p>\n

Much like the DX version, the Japanese variant for the original GB release swaps in original art of Link, Marin and Tarin against the backdrop of Koholint Island. Link’s springing into action in this one, leaping through the air with his sword held aloft, while the other pair lounge around behind. It’s bright, fun, and colourful \u2014 an almighty departure from the Western cover, no?<\/p>\n
