Japans intro for Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link

I broke 12,000 Thanks a lot everyone.

This is japans intro to Zelda 2 the music sounds much better due to technology used in Japan that wasn't used on the NES. There are a lot of things that were changed for the US version of the game. some sound effects being one of them, either changed or omitted. here is a quick list of what version I think is better in some ways

Title Music-Japam
world map-Japan
the water actually moves.
Map Monsters- US
Battle screen music- US
Boss Battle music- US
Sound effects- tie
some are better on either version.
Graphics/backrounds- US
Game over screen- US

I know that's not all of them, Japans game also has loading screens when entering a town or cave but that's only because it's on a disc rather then the cartridge that we got.

After some more considerations and thanks to all your comments; even though I like both, I agree that the US version is the better of the two.

Triforce is spelled Tryforce!!!

@TheTerrificTracy That surprised me too. I just chalk it up to good old Engrish.

[TheTerrificTracy]

@ryan489 How's that Engrish? I just think that they just spelled it differently.

[ryan489]

@TheTerrificTracy it was only a guess. I made it because if you look at the rest of the spelling in the intro it's pretty bad. You could be right though. examples:

The another sleeping princess Zelda

and Disvalley

Thumbs up if you noticed in the Top Left Section of the Japanese Title "The Legend of Zelda 2"

[ryan489]

@TheSegacampGamer That it does.

To be honest, I prefer the music on the US/European version.

LOL they spelled triforce correct in the first one but got lazy and now spell it "Try-Force

[VaatiTheWindDemon]

WOW, I cannot beleive Japan used English writing for their Intro, but it was very poorly written.

[TheTerrificTracy]

@ryan489 Yeah, the only thing I did find wrong was "the "another" sleeping princess Zlelda" as "another" doesn't really fit there. But "Disvalley" may have just been what they called it in the Japanese version. The one thing that confuses me about many Japanese games is that they have both English and Japanese text.

@Sacriphyx You choose the music on edition European?
