If anyone knows which version of the game the ROM for the Virtual Console version is, it might be useful to list it on the version page here. I believe it's 1.2, but my Wii isn't in a working condition for me to verify. --FEG 03:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Please add any potential changes to the guide here first for review. The guide is currently 100% accurate as far as I know and shouldn't require any changes, just additions of new versions like the VC. Zcwikiadmin 00:35, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

FYI: There are actually four versions of the N64 Zelda:OOT cartridge. I posted about this once a couple of years ago on some other forum. I have a grey cartridge with the following features: Bright N Logo, Red Ganondorf Vomit, No Original Swordless Link, Date: 98-10-26. Maybe call this 1.05 or something. Oddly, I've never seen this version referenced anywhere on the internet; maybe people jumped to the conclusion of either 1.0 or 1.1, or maybe this version is just really rare. Happy to provide more info if requested. --ColdPie 15:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, that sounds weird. Is this version a PAL, US or JPN cartridge? Also, can you give an exact time of the build? --Death99 20:07, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

It's a US cartridge, purchased within a month or two after release. I've uploaded a picture of the date debug screen: Media:Zelda105_date.jpg. It reads "98-10-26 10:58:45". --ColdPie 01:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I have also pictures of the red Ganondorf vomit and the bright N logo, but they're about as interesting as you imagine. --ColdPie 01:16, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, your date matches 1.1, but it's rather weird that you still have the red coughed up blood and bright N64 logo. --Death99 18:24, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Yep, hence the four versions. Seems worth mentioning to me that those tests (red blood, bright N, possibly others) are unreliable. I think it's likely that, as far as glitches are concerned, this version matches 1.1. I haven't done much testing of this, but at the very least, the original swordless Link glitch does not work. --ColdPie 20:29, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and updated the version table for these differences. The guide at the top of the page is still reliable. Apologies if I didn't do the edit in proper MediaWiki form; I'm not a wiki expert :) --ColdPie 15:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I've got a weird version, too. I'll have to recheck the date, but it's similar to the guy's post above, with the ability to steal the rod. On the cart, it has what has been "known" as the version 1.1 cart code, but other than that, it doesn't follow a single thing similar to 1.1. The N is shiny, Ganon's blood is red only (Ganondorf included), the rod is stealable, but last I checked, the date on the debug screen was the same of 1.0. I have a video somewhere on youtube of it, I'll post it here soon.
