* UrbanLegendOfZelda: A rumor persists that the "Dragonlord's true form" was created by North American version, and in the Japanese version the FinalBoss was [[DragonTheirFeet his pet dragon come to avenge his master]]. This, however, is untrue. The original Famicom version states "りゅうおうが しょうたいを あらわした!"- which translates roughly to "The dragon lord has revealed his true form". No version of the game has ever stated anything about a pet.

* AscendedFanon: By themselves. Originally, the Dragonlord's human form was all of him; and once you killed him; his DragonTheirFeet Super Dragon attacked. This wasn't exciting enough for the Western translation, who made this Super Dragon his OneWingedAngel form. This has been accepted as canon in Japanese remakes and sequels.
