| QUOTE (gliderpilotgirl @ Jul 25 2008, 03:49 PM) | After rethinking this, I need to add another moment to list.
The OoT one with the famous quote: " I am the Hero of Time. No matter where, no matter when...for the sake of Hyrule and you, Princess Zelda...I shall fight."
Such a sad scene it is, but that's probably the most heartfelt declaration of love I have ever seen from a fictional character. Imagine pledging to fight for someone you may never see again. I will admit that when I first read the manga, that was the scene that made me cry. |
Woww...  Very touching. Really! I love that type of vocabulary, but people don't talk that way anymore, except in movies. usually I would say that it sounds corny, but it's not.  +  =

I know exactly what you mean. No one talks like anymore. I wish they did...I'm really going to have to read the manga...

There's nothing kiddish about that statement. I agree...almost like it came straight out of a romance movie. |
My biggest concern is that they will severely water down the manga series as we know it. We know that the game has been watered down from the original Japanese version, but as far as we know from the scanlations we have, the mangas have gone through the whole "Americanization" process just fine. We'll have to see what VizKids does with it.

I'm actually a bit worried they might "dumb it down" a bit too, as in remove the romantic innuendos for the sake of making it more kid friendly. I would bet that the fans who took the time to translate the manga have an actual interest in Zelda, therefore they kept it accurate.
Anyways, is there some sort of copyright to protect the integrity of the work? ( As in what the authors intended )

If there is, that didn't stop the English game translators from censoring in places. Maybe they were licensed to do some diluting for American/Canadian/European audiences - I don't know. I've seen several instances where Japanese manga/anime/TV shows/movies and video games are a bit more explicit and "straight forward" than we would allow most of our kids to be exposed to.

Well, there's nothing really offensive to justify them censoring it, just stuff that might go right over kids' heads. It's pretty clean too.

I don't know if someone already did this, but-- I really liked the Triforce of the Gods LoZ manga--so pretty! X3 Someone already posted the ZeLink moment that's at the end, so I'll post one that took place in the beginning! (that bottom panel looks familiar, huh? ;D) *awwwwwww!*(I hope I didn't stretch the page... :\)
