Nefarious, anti-Zelink localization choices in TotK

I would argue that they are not a thing.

So what I’ve been seeing, is mostly discourse around The House.

Mainly, that one line in Zelda’s diary, where Zelda refers to the house as “my house” in the English text as seen below:

The argument seems to be that she does not say “my house” in the original Japanese. I’ve even seen people go as far as to claim she wrote “our house”. Aight, let’s take a peek then:

So indeed, there is no trace of 私の家 (my house), but neither is there 私たちの家 (our house). It’s just 家 (”house” / “the house”).

As you know. Pronouns aren’t nearly as pervasive in japanese as they are in English. I do think it’d be strange for her to use a possessive here, like, you know. Given that we know that it’s this here house she’s referring to, y’know. And she’s writing in her own diary, there’s no need to specify. Like, It’s the house. This house. What other house is there that she had an extra room built at? None, of course, right. Right.

So anyway, what’s the correct translation then? ~I don’t know.~ If you wanna stick close to the original jp’s lack of possessive here, you’d say “the house”, i guess, but listen: “my house” is a perfectly reasonable option, as well. I know some of y’all hate that it makes it sound like she’s excluding Link here, and sure you’re allowed to feel that way but. I. don’t think it’s wrong tbh honest???

And “our house” would have worked, too, probably, but then it would have leaned a littttttle too heavily on the Zelink and I can sort of understand that they want to keep it at least a little nebulous. (because 1. that is what they do and 2. it’s more fun that way)

And unfortunately “our house” would have also contradicted another little piece of info found in the Japanese version regarding... the well, again. more specifically what the game calls the well.

In English it is referred to as Zelda’s Secret Well. And that is what it is. It is very much the well that was built for her own purposes, and it is a secret chamber. No complaints here.

The well is labeled a little differently in Japanese, tho. The game calls it ゼルダの家の井戸, which could translate to "Zelda's house's water well" or "the water well by Zelda's house" (or whatever else you can think of that has “Zelda’s house” and “well” in it, probably, im just giving examples so u get the idea).

(click here if you’re on desktop and can’t zoom in but want to)

So, in fact, you could say that in Japanese, the house is clearly stated to be Zelda’s house. Woops, back to square one it is, then.

But do you see? Are you seeing? While Zelda does call it “my house” in the English text seemingly leaving no room for Link, you could also argue that the localization team went out of their way to not call it “Zelda’s house” when they absolutely could have. By calling the well “Zelda’s secret well” instead of going for a closer-to-the-original “well outside Zelda’s house”, they recreated a little bit of room for speculation. Wow!!!! Cool!!

And this is just like. One little tidbit I decided to focus on, but my point is:

There is no secret anti-Zelink agenda in the localization team. Translating means making choices, you might disagree with some of them, but that does not make them wrong or vile, I don’t think.

And the siege mentality I’ve seen some people adopt regarding Zelink strikes me as very misplaced. We are eating good. There is food aplenty. Why are you digging for extra scraps that may not even exist?

Granted, comparing the original text with its translations can be super fun (heck I enjoy it, to an extent!), but try to think about your own attitude as you do so. Try to go into with curiosity and humility in your heart instead of righteous vindicativeness. You might find that more satisfying.

Now of course, sometimes translation errors do occur, and criticism is warranted, but try to take a step back and ask yourself if this really means the localization team are a bunch of buffoons who either have no idea what they’re doing or are actively trying to ruin your Zelda experice, or if, perhaps, instead, sometimes people fuck up. For various reasons that you may not be aware of.

(Rereading this i now realize that i am tone-policing and. Yeah. I am. deal with it)

One more thing, you don’t have to believe randos who claim “X is canon in Japanese and they censored it in English”, especially if they’re not elaborating or providing evidence. (You can choose to believe them if you want to, at the end of the day, but just be aware that you believed without seeing. So think before you spread the word around, right?)

One final, final thing, you can always set your nintendo switch to Japanese and experience the game in its original language, for yourself. Isn’t that the coolest? I wish this was possible for all games. Thanks, Nintendo!

I think rayquaza is one of the coolest Pokémon. maybe not ranked as one of my personal favorites - or maybe it does but I haven’t thought about it - but it definitely ranks like. Highest. In the cool category. Giant green sky snake who lives in the ozone layer and only descends for the sole purpose of slapping the shit out of its bickering siblings? massive fuckoff powerful mega form? That’s one cool guy is what I’m saying

#sorry i spent a few hours using rayquaza this morning legendary hunting and have only eaten a box of peeps today synapses are not firing on #on full cylinders today ur getting whatever shit comes to mind

DP x DC Prompt #34

Dani's destabilizing. She's destabilizing and Danny's almost out of ecto-dejecto. It was never meant to be a permanent solution. More of a band aid to help her until they could find something better. But they haven't, and she's running out of time.

With little options left, Danny makes a decision.

Lex Luthor's successfully made stable clones before. Perhaps he can help stabilize an unstable clone. And Danny's prepared to pay any price he needs to in order to ensure Dani lives.

#finemeal prompt #dp x dc #danny fenton #danielle phantom #lex luthor #destabilization #clones #see will lex luthor make a good decision here #probably not #will danny make a bad one #probably #also feel free to give dani whatever nickname #i typically call her ellie #but not everyone does so i wanted to make it clear who it was about #lots of options of things to do with this one peeps #so have fun

can "activists" please stop trying to fuck with the empty frames at the Gardner museum. this is the second time the museum has had to close early to keep that from happening

like. first of all, the art museum climate protests that have happened so far piss me off despite the fact that I agree with their overall goals, because the messages in interviews all boil down to "how DARE you VALUE ART when BAD THINGS ARE HAPPENING, ordinary museum-goer?!" but at least they've taken pains to not actually damage anything important (throwing soup on modern, sealed cases or glass barriers instead of the art itself, etc.)

the frames at the Gardner? are art in their own right. they are mostly very old and made by often-unacknowledged craftsmen who were incredibly talented. they're not the same as a modern barrier. AND they're there as a reminder of a time when some jerks stole art from the public so rich assholes could wall it up in private collections so only they got to enjoy it

like go puncture a CEO's tires or something that actually reaches the people responsible for this mess instead of ordinary humans (who probably already agree with you!) just trying to do the very Human Thing of appreciating art

EDIT: I double-checked, and last time their Thing was "why are people still talking about the Gardner heist, but NOBODY is talking about biodiversity loss?!?!?!"

which is just.

they are? just not usually in the same breath as an unsolved art theft case?

#mini-rant #isabella stewart gardner museum #and they're probably going to get all pissy on Twitter about how the museum is 'stifling their right to peaceful protest!!!'#except. you have the right to protest. you don't have the right to jeopardize the museum's property #last time this happened the museum let them protest outside without a peep of objection #(why are you protesting climate change outside an art museum but whatever go nuts)#and the entirety of this very blue and very climate-conscious city was collectively like '...seriously guys?'#it's possible to care about more than one thing at a time!

old/unfinished explorations of freya's past through her garb as Leader of the Vanir & Queen of the Aesir.

#I just wanted to think about how she probably had to give up a lot of her Vanir sensibilities in asgard #forced to abandon the green & bronze of the Vanir and wear the blue & gold of the Aesir in change #how stifling it must have been for her to become a wife #i tried to incorporate some things she currently wears in her old Vanir garb #like she tried to reclaim her past and culture even though she was barred from it #i think i originally wanted to add more adornments to her vanir design?#but couldnt figure them out so. whatever #i do really love that picture of her with sparrows bite though shes my wife forever & ever #also peep the brisingr in her aesir design... cus she had baldur <3 #god of war #gow #god of war 2018 #gow 2018 #freya #freya god of war #freya gow #god of war freya #gow freya #gowr #gow ragnarook #god of war ragnarok

Top five most homoerotic episodes of peepshow now. I'm counting on you weezeryuri

i would make a list but i think this entire scene gets the point across very very very well. this isn’t a britcom it’s an intro to a gay porno

#peep show #besides that it’s largely jez’s bisexuality and whatever was going on with mark and johnson #it’s sprinkled through out the episodes honestly
