About

For The Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

101Leafy researched the game for the numbers, names, and text on this site, in both languages the game ships with. What the site says about a monster, person, item, or labyrinth in words comes from the official guide books and manuals, quoted with the book and page. The Japanese books are translated by 101Leafy. When a book and the game disagree on a number, the site goes with the game.
