Calebyte Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Oh my god, I played Link's Awakening to death and I never knew about this! Crap, why did I read this? I'm not going to be able to think about anything else now!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Wow, necro-threadage.No, I never did. I had actually just forgotten about the whole thing until now. What the Fuku-san!? Damn I forgot about this thread too, and I totally forgot the walls of text I contributed. Now I'm curious as hell all over again. Haha.

Nick Hyral Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Oddly enough also thinking on this I remember the same guy being in a Link to the Past.. Don't remember if you can talk to him.. or if you can even interact with it other than killing it. But the same enemy is definitely in the game and can be changed in the same sense by using the magic powder made from the mushroom.. I just might have to drag my old SNES game out to actually give it a whirl and see if any conversations are had with him in Link to the Past as well. And this too has my curiosity as I merely scratched my head wondering not only what he was talking about In Link's Awakening... But what he was even supposed to be.

SirChadlyOC Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Dan Owsen is kind of a big deal. He's done tons of translations and localizations for Nintendo, including some of the biggest games of the 1990s, such as the Zeldas, Final Fantasies and other RPGs, Star Fox (voiced Fox), and even Super Metroid. In fact, he did the voice-over for "The last Metroid ...is in captivity. The galaxy ...is at peace." If you've beaten a big Nintendo game and sat through the credits, you've read his name dozens of times. Good luck getting any info from him. I'm pretty curious now, too.

noTuX Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I figured they were just dick jokes... Kind of an "in joke" thing for the makers of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I if I recall correctly, he mentions something about vacationing. Then again, I could also be thinking of the ones from Oracles, so maybe it is worth checking out. Count me in on the curiosity though for the original question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramaniscence Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 butWHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!? Do I go with "It's so bright, so vivid" or "It's a secret to everyone". Decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 ... ... ... not gonna lie, I seriously thought this thread was going to by why the hell this guy changed from a standard dildo to one with the balls and some... eyes. Glad the Germans caught on to that in their translation, lol. As for the Snes version, no one seems to recall 'Tra la la, find Shaharala-la-la (or whatever his name was)'? It was just a lame hint for where to go next (if, by chance, you got lost on the way from the shrine to the town and went through the work of finding the powder first... which is not likely). I'm going to have to stick with the 'PRE-pre-N64' explanation for the LA version, here, but to be frank there's some real problems with that theory, too - why the hell would an American translator be privy to that information? I'm on the boat wondering what the hell it all means, now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 If someone wants to direct him to this thread, then by all means, go ahead. I've kind of given up on a bi. I'd like to find out at some point, but it's not a big thing for me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
