For Your Reference
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1992)

This third game in the Zelda series debuted in English in 1992. The game’s upgraded story, text, and presentation invite the player to a new level of gaming.

Update Status

I'm taking a relaxed break from Legends of Localization at the moment, but I still plan to add more articles and comparisons from time to time.

I'll also slowly be improving and updating various sections of the site. During these times, pages, links, and images will surely break somewhere - I apologize in advance. I've also turned off comments for now until I can reasonably keep up with them again.

In the meantime, check out some of these other articles:

Legends of Localization

Compared to things like literature and film, video games are an incredibly new form of expression, and the concepts behind game translation are even newer. So let's explore how translators have coped with new challenges while blazing a new linguistic frontier!
