Castlevania is a weird game. You can clearly tell that some graphics were just improvised because the NES could only hold 128 background tiles and 128 sprite tiles in RAM at a time. The curtain is actually a bunch of tiles arranged to look like a curtain, but there's only a handful of unique tiles to use. The same applies for Dracula's final form, you can tell they didn't have enough tiles for him.

I know it had muffled audio samples, I know it had tacky Mode 7, and I know it had a hard time processing anything that wasn't 8-bit arithmetic, but saying the SNES had graphical limitations is BS. There is NOTHING stopping the programmers from making Aghanim's robe red as opposed to green, just swap the data around. There is no reason why Link couldn't have blond hair and a pink hat band. I'm guessing Link's hair had more to do with contrast, as it would frankly look odd with brown or blond hair with his face right below it.

In that sceenshot, you can see how Link's hair, eyes, and face could potentially be seen as 'one'. I'm guessing by using purple as his hair color, they prevented the chances of his face looking like one color.

It does 16-bit math, but it doesn't mean it's optimal. That's the reason why some games slow down so much, they used the clunkier 16-bit math when 8-bit math would suffice just as well. 8-bit math is quicker but less precise, but not a problem for a game that is ever-changing like a shmup or what not. 16-bit math would slow the processes down every time a new enemy showed up on screen.
