Who would bootleg a LttP cart? The game isn't worth enough for a scammer to make a profit.

SNES bootlegs have become really really cheap to make; the Chinese are doing them in bulk for around $20 each puts a ton of even mid-priced games at risk.

The fakes are starting to get a lot better.

To my knowledge, nobody is faking ROM chip stamps to this point. Also, yours checks out (SNS-ZL-0 is the proper ID for a SHVC-1A3B-13 PCB)
 
Yeah, that was what I kept reading was so far nobody is adding the chip stamps and its a dead give away if the chips are blank.  Is this something that is difficult for a bootlegger to do?

 

Difficult, but I suppose it's not impossible. But have yet to see someone put the time/effort into it.

I used to work in IC counterfeit detection. I've seen 8 pin SOIC painted and relabeled with damn near perfect markings. The cost of these parts? A few cents each in lots of less than 1,000. Give it time...
