I just noticed something. When my console is set to EU/AUS, Zelda looks like this:

But when my console is in USA/JPN, , it looks like this:

Does anyone know why and does the region of my Switch change anything?

I don't know if it was asked before so sorry if it was.

Huh, that's interesting. I wonder why they'd do that.

Also the disc/card cover is different according to the region so they can match the image to the cover you have

Yeah, because they used a different box art in Europe and Australia for whatever reason. Didn't know that it actually swapped to each region's respective art on the home menu if you changed the console region tho. I'll be honest, the USA/JPN art is so much better.

In Australia it is considered offensive to have a sunset depicted in artwork.

Maybe it's the sunrise.

Aboriginal Australians tell in dreamtime that the setting of the sun was an unsure and dangerous time where spirits and demons would rise.

You'll notice in any game in Australia that has a day/night cycle that it will be daytime and completely skip the sunset section and instantly be total darkness.

The Australian version of the game has the USA boxart but the EUR game icon.

It pisses me off, so much.
