The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Location Translation List
What is this list for?
When Ocarina of Time was translated into English, several things were changed. This has been the same with almost every game Nintendo have released that was originally in Japanese. The aim of this list is to show the original Japanese location names and the true translations, comparing them to Nintendo's translations. In order to view this list correctly, you will need the Japanese language pack installed on your computer.
Note: The locations listed here are those which
have a location card. By location card, I mean the way the name of the place
appears on screen for a few moments after you enter it. This list is displayed
in alphabetical order according to Nintendo of America's translation.
If some locations are missing, then please contact us: Shadow
Fire or OrdosAlpha.
How this list is set up: The list is split into four categories, all sorted into a table. Each column has its own background shade which shows what category it belongs in.
Translations in square brackets ("[word]" ) are optional, and translations that have a forward slash ("/") have more than one way of being said.
