I like to think i know alot about the history of the sale of Zelda items and all the different styles of boxes.

But upon trying to collect the final boxes i need i found a seller selling the boxes for Zelda 1 & 2 with round nintendo Seals on the box vs the Oval ones i am so used to.

vs

Anyone able to help with some advice or knowledge?

I know i will have to eventually get all versions  but not yet  lol

Round ones are better.

e:and the Zeldas should all have the "nintendo" sleeves.

The round seals are older. The oval seals came along more or less with the REV-A changeover I believe. Additionally, the first release of Legend of Zelda was a 5 screw cart.

Braveheart posted his list of LOZ variants when discussing his master list.

Thanks Again Mario! I will go ahead and get the boxes then, the #1 is a bit beat up but still in better condition than others ive seen at this price.
