NES Legend Of Zelda variant label

[kingjohn3]

I have a 3 screw Zelda cart where the word Zelda on the end of the label is white, Has anyone ever seen one of these? I also have a 3 in 1 Mario/DH/ world class track meet where Mario is in white overalls and another cart he is in red.

Yeah, you get a lot of label variants if you really look. For example, my two Zelda NES carts (one gold, one gray) both have the name in red, but one has the shield image above the name, and the other one has the name above the shield. Super Mario World has two labels on the SNES, one where "Super Mario World" is all on one line, and one where "Super" is above "Mario World". Super Mario Bros 2 has two labels, where they initially used a circular black Nintendo Seal and then went back and changed it to the more familiar oval-shaped one.

Pictures makes it easier

I actually found a website that listed several variants but not these 2. I'll get pics up on here as soon as I can then I would appreciate all feedback.

It seems like I read once that there are 7 different variants of the Legend of Zelda cart.

Bar carts with converters, don't all licensed games have 3 screws?

Apparently the 3 screw carts started being released around '88 across the board. Even early release games from 85-87 were re-released with 3 screws instead of 5. Generally 5 screw are more collectible for completists/purists but it's just a preference. I personally want 5 screws for all my original black label Nintendo released games.

I also have the 3 in 1 Mario/DH/ world class track meet where Mario is in white overalls, i have seen the one that he is in red overalls. I think these could be for the year they were release, the first one were the red ones and then the white ones (1988 i think)

Yeah I have those too. Probably not worth a whole lot but its still neat to have different variations.
