I got the gold N64 one.
I got the darker atmosphere in the well, with the chanting, the most realistic final blow to Ganon of the OoT versions and, most importantly, I got the silver mirror shield. The gold one is darn ugly! Seriously, apart from changing the looks because it looks like a certain flag (which sucks anyway, what happened to artistic freedom), why did they have to change the main color instead of just the symbols?
Was that to match the re-releases on the handheld back then? Why? I liked the golden boxes way better than a black box with a golden picture?
What happende to the enormous blocks you move around in the game? They had those symbols too... They are not gone, considering the balance of puzzles in the dungeons. Are they blank now?
