That 1989 'Special Widescreen Edition' Laserdisc set had that ridiculous Shrinking Aspect Ratio problem, which I believe was quietly corrected in 1992/93 and released with the same artwork and stuff. Isn't that fixed 1992/93 set considered the best American/NTSC set? Even better than the DC?

I also see the 1986 Japan widescreen set mentioned a ton as the definitive release of the OOT. But, from a restoration/upscale point, we then have to contend with Japanese subtitles.

I'd love to read that entire thread, but there is a ton there. One day. :P

1. The non-shrinking-aspect-ratio '92/93 "Special Widescreen Edition" release was pressed by Technidisc. It suffers from all of the typical issues present in Technidisc pressings of the era; e.g., crosstalk and terrible chroma noise (even for LD!). Also, FWIW, it was sourced from a dirty-as-hell print.

2. The JSC has Japanese subtitles, but they're in the black bars, so it's not an issue.
