Archive notes

Main image uses the user-supplied transparent NES shell with this exact regional label, placed at uniform scale. This is a standardized display composite, not a physical-cartridge photograph or a print-ready label. The catalog reference and evidence type are described in the game and region notes; the collector reference separates USA catalog IDs from the actual visible printing. This display is not manufacturer authentication. Gameplay reference: Nintendo UK — https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/NES/The-Legend-of-Zelda-796345.html
