*Barba received an updated sprite for the international release of ''The Adventure of Link'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. Barba's original sprite was entirely lacking in animation, and gave it an appearance much more like a traditional eastern dragon. Its updated sprite made it larger but shorter in length, and gave it a fully animated body and head, with an appearance closer to a western dragon. The battle itself is slightly different as well, with a modified layout, removing an exploit that allowed Link to defeat it easily when it appears on the left side of the screen. Barba also roars constantly throughout the battle in the Japanese version. Barba's official artwork is based on its original appearance, rather than the updated version. | *Barba received an updated sprite for the international release of ''The Adventure of Link'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
