*The Famicom Disk System version of the game uses the infamous "Gannon" spelling in the intro, as well as other typos such as "Tryforce." This intro was largely re-written in the North American release.

*Ganon's laugh on the game over screen in the English version is also used in the NES game ''{{Wp|Punch-Out!! (NES)|Punch-Out!!}}'' as {{Wp|Soda Popinski}}'s laugh.
