I saw this today and wanted to share with nesdev:

It doesn't have any detailed programming info but is still interesting. Some bits of information about puzzle design, beta testing, ideas shared between Zelda and Mario, etc.

Thanks for the link UncleSporky! That was a very interesting read. I still can't figure out why it tells you everyone's blood type. Is that just a Japanese thing?

Yeah, I've seen it displayed in several video games and manuals too. They believe it's a personal identifier of some sort, like your birth sign/horoscope.

A popular belief in Japan is that a person's ABO blood type is predictive of their personality, character, and compatibility with others. This belief is also widespread elsewhere in Asia, notably Taiwan.
