Trivia

• In the Commodore Amiga port of Castlevania, "Prologue" is dubbed "The Story Begins".
• In the Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Original Soundtrack, there is no voice speaking during the theme "Prologue", while in the first preorder CDs there was a narrator's voice. This also happens with the theme "Bloodstained Demise".
