Random: "Yahoo!" Is No Longer A Problem For The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Professional translator Clyde Mandelin has strew light on a singular word that has been regularly altered over a years in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

The 1998 DX chronicle of a pretension facilities an aged lady in it, who says “YAHOO!” via a march of a game. This line was presumably altered by someone during Nintendo of America to “HELLO!” when it was re-released on a 3DS Virtual Console in 2011. It’s believed to have been practiced since a strange line (which includes an exclamation mark) was too identical to Yahoo! – a tellurian hunt engine corporation.

It doesn’t finish there, though. While we competence have already famous about this, progressing this year in September, a reconstitute of Link’s Awakening apparently arrived on a Switch. It radically combined another section to a story – with Mandelin indicating out how a line “YAHOO!” is now behind in a diversion (see above).

The translator also explains how this wasn’t an emanate in a Japanese release:

Note that this change wasn’t done to a Japanese chronicle of a diversion since a aged lady’s Japanese phrase, iyahō, doesn’t compare a Japanese name for YAHOO! Inc., yafū.

Although it competence seem like Nintendo was disturbed about regulating a line “YAHOO!” due to probable authorised issues, there’s no pledge this was indispensably because it was altered in a initial place.
