This is completely unrelated to the dumb question but rather the OP image. The image came from Nintendo posting a blog post showing someone setting up an original Famicom with Zelda 1 using their archives. They even showed photos of a Disk Writer.

What's notable is that we found out later from internal Nintendo messages in the gigaleak that a month before this blogpost Nintendo's FDS backup of Zelda 1 actually died, and they had to go into their archives to get the data from a Disk Writer cartridge to restore it.

The original blog post probably came up just because Nintendo's copy of Zelda 1 died. This also proved that Nintendo doesn't just take ROMs from the web like some morons have been parroting, because that's a lot of work to do something when all of this information was supposed to never be seen by people anyway.
