The Legend of Zelda

That version of the field looks really big...
I'm currently playing the Japanese version of Majora's Mask, and I don't understand squat. On the other hand, I'm looking for the differences between the two versions...

I'm currently playing the Japanese version of Majora's Mask, and I don't understand squat. On the other hand, I'm looking for the differences between the two versions...

I just looked it up, and it appears that there's only two noticeable differences between the Japanese and American versions: that there's three save slots instead of two, and the owl statues that allow you to save your progress only serve as warp destinations (playing the Song of Time is the only way of saving your progress in the Japanese version).

I'm so glad that the latter was changed for the North American release. Saves the trouble of having to warp somewhere right after loading up your game.

There are a whole lot of differences, but they aren't as big and noticeable as those two. They're sneaky.

One change that's pretty obvious is skull kid. I'm not sure if his mouth was changed to a bill only for America or for both Japan and America. Needless to say, he originally resembled black face...

[Umbral-Coltwings]

It's a bill for both versions, don't worry.

The Happy Mask Salesman also does his laugh when he says "I believe in you..." in the Japanese version. This was removed.

The Deku Princess also had more sounds in the Japanese version. (Don't know why they removed them, though.)

I was thinking of OOT not MM. Sorry, I got them mixed up.

I've seen this a few times in the past (no pun intended), but it always cracks me up. The 1990s was a wacky time.

Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past SNES Japanese Commercial #1

[Juanita]

Yes! I love that commercial

Looks like Astro Boy won't be the only series getting an official live-action treatment:

I'm skeptical at this point, but if I had Netflix, I'd be willing to give it a chance.

I think that news might be a liiiiiitle premature.
