** In the ''Hyrule Encyclopedia'', there is concept art of a younger, hotter Lady Maud with a different design.

** Other ideas for costumes that were considered but later got scrapped include an smelly costume that would repel enemies with its stench, a costume that would put all the situation reports in the KansaiRegionalAccent of Japanese, a costume that would make Link look handsome in photos, and a Great Fairy costume.

* FlipFlopOfGod: Whether this game is canon and part of the official timeline (and if so, where) used to be an open question, since the answer varied depending on the Nintendo representative or promotional material.

It was later confirmed for the offical timeline, taking place soon after ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'' and the Green Link being the same Link as that game.

* FanNickname: ''Three Swords'' and ''Three Swords Adventures'' because the game is similar to the ''Four Swords'' subseries but only allows for three players.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The devs did test four-man multiplayer, but it didn't work too well with the totem mechanic: a four-man totem was too tall to be effective; and the two Links in the middle don't actually ''do'' anything, which kills the fun too much. Plus they found that when four players were put together, they tended to split up in teams of two, which went against the teamwork they were trying to encourage.
