@monsterislandcolonizer @ChristiJunior nintendo has also removed all bibles and crosses in every Zelda game since 1986 when (((localizing))) them for the US

@TeaTootler @monsterislandcolonizer That's due to Zelda after the first few games getting its own fictional cosmology involving the Three Goddesses that make up the series' iconic Triforce. The original Christian medieval setting was replaced with a unique fictional fantasy world.
@TeaTootler @monsterislandcolonizer I do believe stuff like Castlevania DID get its Christian imagery censored on Nintendo consoles during the NES and SNES era, but that policy was definitely dropped at some point during the 90s - Castlevania 64 is bold and explicit about its heroes being Christian holy warriors fighting the forces of Hell.

@ChristiJunior @TeaTootler @monsterislandcolonizer Nintendo took a stance of having zero religion in their games in the early 90s and haven't had it since, that's why zelda got its own mythology because it was originally Christian and Link was more or less a Templar.

@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior @TeaTootler @monsterislandcolonizer For the Turbografx-16 version of the arcade game Splatterhouse, Namco replaced the round 3 inverted cross boss with a floating star, and completely removed the giant “gotcha trap” crucifix as well.

Edit: the US version had a floating head, not a star, instead of an inverted cross.
@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @TeaTootler @monsterislandcolonizer Actually, wait, I misspoke. The inverted cross was replaced by a blue head. My bad; it’s been decades since I played with my TG16.
