1. In the English versions of the Oracle games a Dark Realm is mentioned. What is said in the Japanese version? Does the term match up with the Japanese term for the Dark World/Evil Realm in LttP and OoT?
Here are the screenshots:

2. There is a Dark World in Four Swords Adventures, much like LttP. Does the term match up with the Japanese term for the Dark World/Evil Realm in LttP and OoT (or the realm mentioned in the Oracle games)?
3. In Four Swords Adventures Level 5 is oddly called "The Dark World". What is it called in Japanese?
4. The official LttP comic released in Japan last year had a colour overview of the game series' history at the beginning. I was wondering if there was anything interesting said there. I have nicely sized scans and can email you a zip of them (1.13MB) if you'd be willing to give it a look over.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

The translation is: "Gwa ha ha ha ha!! You're better than I thought. But playtime is over! I shall show you my true power. Gwa ha ha ha ha!! This is my true form from the Dark Realm that Lady Twinrova summoned me from. Feel the power of the Dark Dragon, bringer of destruction!"
The Dark Realm or whatever is the same one used in the Japanese OoT and LttP. The FSA one (the one you go to with the GBA) seems to also be the same one.
Level five in FSA is "ankoku no sekai" Which is like world of darkness still, but in a slightly different sense. And I can take a look at those scans if you like.

Thanks Zethar-II, that helps a lot. I've emailed the scans to you.

Unfortunately those scans don't say anything too interesting. It's just things like "In Ocarina of Time you traverse seven years to play in two different worlds." On the second page they list all of the Zelda games that seem to be recognized by NCL, which is more than I thought.

Thanks a lot. 
It's amazing how many times the original game has been re-released - and to think it almost got a GBC remake too.
