Yeah Nintendo used to go to disgusting lengths to neuter games when they came from overseas and took it way too far. Fortunately they got so embarassed in the media (pre-internet early 90s) by a tv slam campaign and a hosing by the congress over (Sweaty Non-)Mortal Kombat they had to make some heavy changes and used the ESRB is a cover-up for a good bit of it as they were a very early adopter with MK2 being a super faithful arcade port. They still up until years later with Conker's BFD on the N64 in 2000 would knock down smoking, alcohol, cursing, and random other little bits at least on the first party level but it's mostly dead now. They rarely will mess around with stuff, but I do recall the Zelda OOT issue, it was Muslims complaining about how the chanting/tune on the whole sounded a bit like one of their tunes and I'm sure they didn't want some crazies going jihad on their butts so they wiped the entire thing, and this is an earlier era pre-kill the cartoonist stuff of the last 3-4years.

There's also a difference in the background music in the Fire Temple. In the original version you hear someone chanting the word Allah. Dispite this sounding cool they had to remove for being a religious reference.

Ironically the remake of Conker for the Xbox had more censoring than the Nintendo version.
instead of discussing why Ganandorf has blood in OoT, maybe we should be discussing why he DOESN'T have blood in the end of Wind Waker. WARNING: SPOILERS MAY INSUE

@pik: Maybe because he the sword acted as sort of a seal for the hole? Or maybe he turned into a statue before he had a chance to bleed?

Yeah I never did get why they hosed up the xbox version of the N64 Conker game. They censored it up heavily in comparison to how loose Nintendo was with the blood, 4 letter words, pissing on things, public drunkenness with beer clearly visible. Sure much was still there, but they did some odd trimming which made no sense at all. Then of course they downgraded to multiplayer, and cut up little bits here n' there of the adventure mode outside of censoring just making it totally a worthless 'remix.'
