===Professor Nester's Father's Day Lecture (pp. 74-75)===
In a special Father's Day special, there is a listing of several Facts about Dads. One of the facts reads, '''Dads are basically Couch Crusaders who want to be heroes and have great adventures'''. While not directly Zelda related, the conclusion drawn is that Dad's love adventures and the magazine suggests buying them a one-way safari ticket to Africa. Or alternatively, just get them a copy of various NES games, such as ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''Metroid'', ''Goonies II'', or ''Golgo-13''. A screenshot of ''The Legend of Zelda'' is shown.
===Classified Information (p. 78)===
In the [[Classified Information]] section of the magazine, a few oddities are discussed regarding ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''.
====Odd Apparition====
In certain Towns and Palaces throughout Hyrule, some odd things occur when Link travels a bit outside of the border of the screen. These oddities can be discovered if Link has acquired the [[Fairy Spell]] and the [[Glove]]. In any Palace where there are falling ceiling blocks, which includes Palace, two, three, and five, simply wait on these screens until all of the blocks have fallen. Then climb up to the top of the block structure and while at the very top, cast the Fairy spell and move left or right. Link will seemingly fall through the top of the screen and appear on top of the Palace, within the ground itself.
While here, cast Fairy again, and fly left or right again. Link will once again fall from the ceiling and appear in what looks like Palace one. However the color palette of the Palace will be the same as which palace Link was just within. Once you finally laeve the palace, you'll appear outside whatever palace you had initially entered.
A similar trick can be found when in the [[Mountain Town of Darunia]]. While on top of the roof of one of the buildings, jump up and out of the screen. While out of view, activate the Fairy Spell and move left or right. Link will back down into a different town
