Would that still be the case if the North American version of the game had been named Hyrule Fantasy: The Legend of Zelda, as it was when it hit the streets in Japan? I should think so, especially since I've always had a soft spot for the "Hyrule Fantasy" part of the Japanese title.
If any of you consider yourselves to be in the same boat, head on over to videogamesarerad.com and download the full-sized version of the promo poster above. (While you're at it, grab the Metroid one, too--assuming you're a fan of Yoshio Sakamoto's classic.)

That's an interesting tidbit I never knew! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Justin!
BTW, you've probably already noticed that the poster says "THE Hyrule Fantasy" and not just "Hyrule Fantasy," but I just couldn't get myself to call the game "The Hyrule Fantasy: The Legend of Zelda."
That's probably why Nintendo of America dropped it as well :)
I DID see that. And I thought the same thing...
Ha! I thought/knew that would be the case :)
