Description:
This is an English “relocalization/restoration” patch for the original North American NES version of The Legend of Zelda. The aim is to provide an English localization that is more faithful to the Japanese version. There isn’t much text in this game, but what is there have been cleaned up and revised for an improved presentation.

Not a proper relocalization.
Reviewed By: BlazeHeatnix on 31 Jan 2018This basically copy and pastes what Tomato wrote on LOL. The problem is that Tomato’s translations were quick, dirty and literal. For example, he states that the old man will say “It’s dangerous to go alone. I’ll give you this.” But he also says that the old man says it in a very “old wise man” sort of way, which was lost in translation.
So if this game were properly relocalized, the script would say something like “Hyrule is a dangerous land. I will give you aid.” It’s not perfect, but it’s similar to what a real localization team would write.
In addition, there are some Japanese lines that don’t actually get the point across that they need to. The White Sword requires a certain number of hearts to claim it, but neither line makes this clear. A good replacement would be something like “If you are strong enough, you will be worthy to have this.”
