Story
One day, the fairy Navi comes to Link to tell him the Great Deku Tree wants to talk to him. Once Link goes to the Great Deku tree, it tells him that he's been cursed and needs Link to go inside him and defeat the evil within. Link accepts the challenge and manages to defeat the evil. The Great Deku Tree tells Link that he is going to die and gives him one of the spiritual stones. He tells Link to find Princess Zelda and show her the stone. So, Link's epic adventure begins.
Information
Nintendo actually released three different versions of this game, excluding ports and remakes. Versions 1.0 was the gold cartridges released in 1998, Version 1.1 was the later gold cartridges, and Version 1.2 is the later gray cartridges.
Version 1.0 has a glitch that allows the player to play without the Master Sword and use any item while riding Epona. At the end of the game, Ganon's blood is red.
Version 1.1 fixed many of the bugs from Version 1.0. At the end of the game, the color of Ganon's blood changes with the color of the tunic Link wears.
In Version 1.2, Ganon's blood is green. They also changed the music in the Fire Temple because it contained an Arabic prase that translates to "I bear witness that there is no God, but Allah." This was found offensive by the Muslim community.
In the Gamecube versions of the game, the star and crescent symbol used by the Gerudoes was changed to the symbol used by the Gerudo pirates in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask due to further complaints.
