Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

No. They did, in 1994. This was artwork made for that re-release.
So it looks like this is from when the first Legend of Zelda (1986) game was re-released on Famicom (aka NES) cartridge in Japan. It originally came out on Famicom Disk System in Japan, but that peripheral was discontinued in 1990. They then re-released it on cartridge near the end of the Famicom's lifespan in 1994 so that people could play the game without also having to get a Famicom Disk System.
Such a cool style of art
Yeah, that shield design is a big plus
