ESRB update:
Not a surprise, as Japan has it, but still pointless.
Indeed... SCE is awesome, but its biggest advantage over the SNES version (Turbo) is the 6-button controller. Without that, there's no good reason to release it.
Having all 10 speeds of turbo accessible without a cheatcode and being able to turn off the special moves (each individually) are not enough to make it worth buying for anyone who has Turbo, and the graphics are of course worse. Overall I do like SCE more than Turbo, but a lot of that is because of the superior controller...
(My first complaint about the CC, that it had only four face buttons instead of six, continues to make its effects felt, for people who want to get the Wii versions of these games...)
Oh yeah, and MMC5 NES support would be very cool.

Wrong. I've seen the scripts for both games, and while there are indeed key differences they have nothing to do with the game's placement in the timeline. The only thing anyone ever uses as "proof" of the LTTP after Zelda 1/2 notion is some ancient interview where it was mentioned, but translations being what they were back then I don't trust it for a second. Even if it WAS accurate, I trust the actual explicit content of the game over what Miyamoto says. He didn't write the script, after all. He's always been very hands-off on the plot.
Also, let's just say that it can indeed be considered the final resting place of the Master Sword. You never use it in Zelda 1/2, after all. As for the other games that come after it... let's just say that they don't necessarily come after it. I don't want to get into my whole timeline theory right now.
BUT HEY we aren't actually talking about this in this thread any more, are we. Doo be do.
That's great to hear, I had always wondered about how accurate that interview was... so the Japanese order is the same as the US on this issue, probably? Fantasatic, really. It would be pretty annoying if there were different chronologies depending on which region you were in...
