Just looking at my 3 screw version. It does not have the red warning label and the label looks the same as your 5 screw version. The front label is the same as your 5 screw version also. It has an 02 board version (NES-SNROM-02).
Did a quick Google search on Mitsubishi and Nintendo. Turns out Mitsubishi did work with Nintendo, it was their electronics division called Mitsubishi Electric. Mitsubishi is more than just a car company. I was watching Gold Rush Parker's Trail and it turns out they did Japan's warplanes during WW2. Interesting stuff.
I have 2X 3 screw carts here. One is USA and the other is Canadian. The US variant's seal of quality is round where as the Can. one is oval. Both are centered on the bottom of the label. Below the large ZELDA text, the US ver. says "Experience the challenge of endless adventure". The Can. ver. is blank. US ver. has the red 'hold reset' warning on the back wheras the Can. Ver. has the caution statement in english and then in french. Batteries are the same maxell, US board is nes-snsrom-03. Can. Board is 05. The US ver. Has Sanyo and Sharp chips and 1 capacitor in the center. The Can. Ver. Has Sharp and Panasonic chips with 2 capacitors. I wonder if that second cap. Is intended to help with preserving the save games if reset is not held while powering off. Also, the Us board is dark and the Can. board is a lighter green.
I have both the center and right seal of quality carts, but both of mine our 3 screw. Your center seal of quality cart has the 5 screw and I've also seen right seal of quality carts that are 5 screw as well. I know both of my carts are genuine since my mom and my friend's mom bought both of these brand new back in the day. One has my old house number and the other has my friend's last name on it. I have boxes for both as well. I highly doubt the ones I have and the ones in the video are fake. Were there just so many different variants of the gold carts? Thanks for the vid!
So I have a 3 screw in the back, But with a 5 Screw Label front and back. NO RED lettering. But it does have a stamp. Any help with what I have please ??
5 screw is worth almost twice the price as 3 screw, for some reason. classic series variant (grey cart) only comes in 3 screw, I think. it for sure only has one variant tho.
What are the differences? There was an even later, grey cartridge version, not mentioned in this video. And I think there is an extremely rare, 1st print/preview version without save function (but I might be wrong)
Hi, I have an oddity for you possibly lol. I have a 3 screw cart but it has the silver centered seal on the front of the label. The box I have is the same. Did someone before me put two copies together? I appreciate any feedback thanks a million! 😎🤙🏻
Mine is the same I think. 3 screws on the back with red text warning about the battery. The number 12 stamped in the label. The front has the silver Nintendo seal centered.
The version I remember playing as a kid, in the first cave you're offered the boomerang or the wooden sword. I've recently purchased a 5 screw edition of the game but in the first cave I'm only offered the wooden sword. However, the board in my game ends in "2" so I'm really curious if you can tell me or supply a screenshot of that first cave for the 5 screw edition you have since that board starts with "1". If you're offered both I would say that is the actual first version released in the US market. There are almost no references to that version in the US market which makes me wonder how many were actually sold at the time.
I remember that. I never had that version but I remember reading about it in Nintendo Power or something, always curious as to why some versions had the choice between Sword & Boomerang or just Sword.
Quick question mine has the seal of quality on bottom right hand corner and is a 5 screw but says 1985 on back sticker but has either bronze or copper colored screws is it an authentic i got it at goodwill but looks brand new please if u see this give me your feedback
99.9% sure it's authentic. 5 screw carts were the first released carts before Nintendo redesigned the carts to a 3 screw version. Secondly, it's not very likely that it wouldn't be authentic seeing as how it's a very common game.
5 screw Label bottom left did u just replace the label....the red label on back is after Nintendo made changes to its chipset in the console. There's no power spike on newer consoles so zelda files wont get erased if u hold in the buttons to shut it off. I wish Nintendo put the screw under the labels so people can f with them. be good..

Ok 👍
My copy has 3 screws in the back but has the same label as the 5 screw cartridge.

Very interesting! I learn something new in this hobby every day!

Very helpful. I have both variants, and thought the 5 screw was a fake.
Why would anyone make a reproduction (fake) of one of the most COMMON games on the NES? That makes zero sense at all.
@@TattedCollectorsame goes for N64 repros as well! I hate it to death!
Love the vids tatted always watch them all! Keep it up!
I learn something every day. I enjoyed the video.

So I have a 3 screw in the back, But with a 5 Screw Label front and back. NO RED lettering. But it does have a stamp. Any help with what I have please ??
thank you sir this was exactly the explanation I was looking for bless ur soul
I bought a 3 screw with all black text on the sticker 🤔
I have a 3 screw with labels from the 5 screw. I think this variant thing is BS
Does it affect price with 3 vs 5 or is at a preference thing...how about gray cart Zelda are there two variants
5 screw is worth almost twice the price as 3 screw, for some reason. classic series variant (grey cart) only comes in 3 screw, I think. it for sure only has one variant tho.
Dat xenosaga 3 caught my eye 👀
Cool, I have copies of mario 2 with different labels. I wonder if they are the same board or not.
Only one way to find out
That’s matsushita which is the Japanese version of Panasonic
I have the "Mike Tyson's" Punchout 5 screw as well as the Legend of Zelda 5 screw.....
on ebay i see a cart with only 3 screws but the no red lettering back. i hate that i can't find my copy of this.
I'm looking a my 3 copies now. And guess what... They are all different than these. 🤔
What are the differences?
There was an even later, grey cartridge version, not mentioned in this video.
And I think there is an extremely rare, 1st print/preview version without save function (but I might be wrong)
Is there any difference graphical or performance wise between the three screw and the five screw variants and the chip variants?
No; AFAIK it's a purely cosmetic difference
What happens if you take the battery out of them and replace the battery with a new one, do you lose your save data?
@THE MARTIAL ARTS CHANNEL Thanks for that too bad you can't wire it up to keep the current going while you replace it lol
I got a popeye five screw cartridge version and I was wondering what made it different
I have a 3 screw with the 5-screw label?
What screwdriver are you using to open up the 5 screw version?
Hi, I have an oddity for you possibly lol. I have a 3 screw cart but it has the silver centered seal on the front of the label. The box I have is the same. Did someone before me put two copies together? I appreciate any feedback thanks a million! 😎🤙🏻

I'm pretty sure that's just a prototype image. So if this did happen, you were a very lucky child.
Is the 3 screw a fake?
No, why would anyone make a reproduction (fake) of one of the most COMMON games on the NES? That makes zero sense at all.
Does that mean that one is fake or the 2 are real ?
Lmao...none of them are "fake"
@@TattedCollector thanks for the info ! :)
I prefer the look of the 3-screw with the tabs better than the 5-screw without the tabs myself
I prefer the 5 screw because I can make more money on ebay when I sell it. $$$$
@@TattedCollector fair enough I just like the look of the tabs
Quick question mine has the seal of quality on bottom right hand corner and is a 5 screw but says 1985 on back sticker but has either bronze or copper colored screws is it an authentic i got it at goodwill but looks brand new please if u see this give me your feedback
It also came with the players manual and players game guide but game guide says 1987 got it for 12 bucks at goodwill
99.9% sure it's authentic. 5 screw carts were the first released carts before Nintendo redesigned the carts to a 3 screw version. Secondly, it's not very likely that it wouldn't be authentic seeing as how it's a very common game.
5 screw Label bottom left did u just replace the label....the red label on back is after Nintendo made changes to its chipset in the console.

No, no label has been replaced.
Price?
