The Legend of Zelda

Re-released in the summer of 2004 as part of the classic NES game series for Game Boy Advance.

In quest 2 the layout of the first 5 underground levels are the letters that spell ZELDA, but the spelling is out of order. They are as follows: Level 1 - E Level 2 - A Level 3 - L (and with a period) Level 4 - D Level 5 - Z

Although it is the first Legend of Zelda game ever made, in chronological terms, this is one of the last games. According to the official Zelda chronology, there are three parallel timeslines within the chronology. In one timeline, the chronological order would be: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011) (Skyward Sword), The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (2004) (The Minish Cap), The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (2004) (Four Swords Adventure), The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) (Ocarina of Time), The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991) (A Link to the Past), The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (2001) (Oracle of Seasons), The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (2001) (Oracle of Ages), The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (1993) (Link's Awakening), The Legend of Zelda (1986) (The Legend of Zelda), and ending with Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987) (The Adventure of Link).

In one of the dungeons, you will receive a hint that the enemy Pols Voice dislikes noise - yet blowing the whistle does nothing to hurt the enemy. The Famicom (the original Japanese version of the NES) had a microphone, and the player could make noise in it to kill these enemies. As the American NES aborted this feature, this was not possible. Nintendo went ahead and translated this hint verbatim, but because of the lack of a microphone in the American NES, it no longer made any sense and was often misinterpreted.
