Don’t forget to be silly, even if you’re dying!
She’s my what???

Unsure what the localizer intended there.
“Bwaa” is the way I named Link!
They may be talking about how the English translation is, for some reason, “The princess is your…”, while the Japanese is basically the opposite: “You are the princess’…”
I assume Link’s uncle’s full line would be “You are the princess’ only hope”, but that won’t work with the wonky English translation, and instead it makes it sound like she’s your sister or something.
Maybe they were going for “The princess is your responsibility now”?

Maybe I should start learning Japanese, honestly. I interact with a lot of Japanese media lately and being dependent on localizations (which are rarely ‘great’) isn’t good enough for me.
Just learning to read the characters costs a ton of time. Kanas alone are nearly 100 characters to learn
Well I lost my job recently so I have some extra time on me. Might as well do something productive with it!
Learning Japanese was my covid hobby. It’s a very fun language!
there are open source apps for learning kana by repetition
Where does the “bwaa” thing come from? I’ve seen it in a few places and I’m curious.
Ohhh so this is the actual origin!
Abwa! Bwaaa! BWAAAA!!!
i cant even play link to the past without thinking of the time arin and danny gave zelda a steven wright voice anymore.
