== Version differences - inaccuries, and a few ideas ==
I noticed that the "Versions" sub-section under "Development" contains a few inaccuracies. I'm not sure how to go about improving the section myself, so I'll leave an outline of what these differences actually are here, and maybe another editor can include and source them in the article.
First off, the current article inaccuries:
* ''"In the English release, the dungeons each have different colors, whereas in the FDS version they are all gray."''
Incorrect. About 60% of the palaces use the gray palette, while some of the latter ones use a blue palette. The final palace uses a yellow / orange palette. The palaces also tend to alternate with different elements of the palace. For example, all palace entrances use the gray palette, but the inner-palace areas may use a different one. This generally starts to occur around the 4th palace, I believe. The main thing with the overseas version is that the game features a different block set for every palace, along with a palette swap. In the FDS version, all palaces use the same block set, but a few them still use palette swaps.
Now, a couple of other version differences that weren't mentioned: (not necessarily consideration for inclusion, but this is left to the editors' discretion)
* Gooma, the 5th palace boss, is not present in the FDS version. Instead, another version of the helmethead boss takes his place. (maybe this could be used to elaborate on the sentence that mentions dungeon changes)
* the difficulty was slightly increased for the overseas release. The experience values were switched around somewhat, making certain areas / encounters more tedious, and some enemies no longer give experience altogether. In addition to this, the level-up system makes it easier to increase Link's levels (this is already mentioned in the article) and thus makes the game easier. This is mostly based on my playthrough of each version, and how the overall difficulty compares. The FDS version feels substantially easier to play through. (this is based on having played through each version many times to compare them)
I hope this information helps! I wouldn't know where to find the appropriate references to include this info in the article, however. (although, I would point out that the article currently does not cite any of its version differences claims) [[Special:Contributions/74.242.104.128|74.242.104.128]] ([[User talk:74.242.104.128|talk]]) 22:15, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
