裏 (Ura) in track titles for the Dark World

裏 (Ura) is used in the track titles for the Dark World theme in a few Super Famicom CD soundtracks. 裏 = Ura (otherside/back/reverse) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%A3%8F#Noun

Track 7 of Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music 裏世界の地上BGM was fan translated as "Reverse World Above Ground BGM". https://vgmdb.net/album/2032 https://youtu.be/vUVfz_XcHi0

Tracks 06, 22, 23, and 30 of Zelda Sound & Drama use 裏 (Ura) to describe the Dark World themes.

(Ura)Back/Reverse + Ground Theme (Ura)Back/Reverse + Mountain Forest (Ura)Back/Reverse + Dungeon 22裏の地上 23裏の山の森 30裏ダンジョン https://vgmdb.net/album/885 https://youtu.be/gwzzshhVIkY

In the Super Famicom game manual for Zelda, its literally just "World of Darkness" or Dark World 闇の世界.

The reason the CDs list the theme as "Reverse Overworld" 裏世界の地上 using Ura 裏 instead of "Dark" is likely because they often use the titles that the songs were composed as. Koji Kondo likely created the track with the idea of a "Reverse World" in mind separate from story.

Pg63 starts the feature on "Ura Zelda" and how to access it by entering the name "ZELDA"

Under this section titled 裏ゼル直行健 (Ura Zelda Command? Line?), the last line basically reads

裏ゼル行きのコマンドは左の写真を見ながら打ち込んてチョンマゲ!

"While looking at the photo on the left, type in the command to go to Ura Zelda, and you'll be fine!"

pg 64-65 Ura Zelda

The first paragraph reads:

"It's nice that the reverse side is even more addictive than the front side!! After all, the entrance to the labyrinth is different, and the dungeon inside is different. On top of that, it's only natural that the enemies that appear will change and the items you'll get will differ!" 裏ゼルって、オモテ以上にハマることうけあい!! ってところはいいんだけど、これがタ~イヘン!! なんつーたって、迷宮の入口は違うわ、中にはいったダンジョンは違うわ。その上、出てくる敵が変わったり、取れるアイテムが違うなんて-のもあたりまえっ!

pg 66 The dungeon coverage begins and the intro reads:

"This is the complete Ura Zelda (backside Zelda) capture method taught directly by Kamesenmatsu!! By the way, did you know that the shape of the labyrinth in Ura Zelda is called ZELDA in English!! What a great find!!"

Look at that 裏 character for "Ura" next to the Zelda logo.

"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time GC" was distributed exclusively as a pre-order bonus for "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" released in 2002. "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time GC Ura", commonly known as "Ura Zelda", is recorded in it." https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/aqej/#/forall/

"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Ura", commonly known as "Ura Zelda" - The puzzles of the dungeons have been redesigned from the surface world, and there are maps with different types and numbers of enemies that appear.
