There are four versions of ''The Legend of Zelda''{{'}}s original release: the Family Computer Disk System, the PRG0 and PRG1 revisions, and the Family Computer re-release. The PRG1 revision is the Classic Series re-release<ref>[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/nes/563433-the-legend-of-zelda/data The Legend of Zelda – Release Details - GameFAQs]</ref>, and the PRG0 and PRG1 respectively have a product ID of <code>NES-ZL-USA</code> and <code>NES-ZL-USA-1</code>. The Nintendo Entertainment System release features many audio differences from the Family Computer Disk System version, to accommodate for the NES's inferior sound channel, and also includes a couple of minor differences from the original.

Starting with 2003, when ''The Legend of Zelda'' was included on ''Collector's Edition'', many translation errors were fixed, most notably from the title screen intro. This version was reused in subsequent ports, except for the Virtual Console release on 3DS, which is based on the PRG1 version. The 2003 release's title screen was updated to include 2003 (or 2004 in the Classic NES Series re-release) as a copyright year. In Japan, the ''Collector's Edition'' version was released in 2004, and thus the title screen's copyright year was also updated to 2004. This version is based on the first Family Computer Disk System, but retains the rewritten intro from. Similarly, the Japanese 3DS Virtual Console opted to use the original translation.

*The Bible was renamed to the [[Book of Magic]] from the introduction in international releases. This was done in order to comply with Nintendo of America's censorship policies against adding religious content in-game. The Family Computer cartridge re-release also reads "Book of Magic" text but the katakana text still reads Bible.

*In the Family Computer Disk System and Family Computer versions, one way to defeat a [[Pols Voice]] is to yell into the Family Computer's built-in microphone. Since the NES hardware does not have this feature, Link can instead defeat a Pols Voice by firing [[Arrow]]s at it.
