Nothing too exciting but I found this unused string of text in the Japanese version of the first Zelda game.
Original and final game:
Unused text:
I just replaced the English string in order to get it displayed.
I don't know Japanese at all but if I would make a guess it probably says basically the same thing which is seen on the sign Link is holding, "Please see the manual for more details." Am I right? If so I guess they simply replaced it with Link holding the sign graphic instead. The string of text appear right after the English Triforce in the intro. It's there in both versions of the FDS game and still there in the Famicom re-release on cartridge. Maybe someone with more know how than me can figure out its intended original placement on the screen and add it to the wiki if it is of any interest.

The table summary attribute should be used to describe
the table structure. It is very helpful for people using
non-visual browsers. The scope and headers attributes for
table cells are useful for specifying which headers apply
to each table cell, enabling non-visual browsers to provide
a meaningful context for each cell.
The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.
You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
