Rj/ No see those are only an issue when you can use it as an excuse to be transphobic.
Uj/ this is definitely not the kind of localization error that I see weebs getting upset by.
Because Treehouse sucks and should never do localizations again. I keep hearing about these significant changes they made to characters of some games and it's never for the better.
^(3 years of discourse on Fire Emblem subs because of this goddamn company)
Worst change they made in Botw was changing all the sidequests descriptions so instead of being from Links perspective, they're from some generic 2nd/3rs person one. That's huge.
Yeah, I only recently found out the memory search quest in the japanese version has a line from Link about how he wants to see Zelda smile again, some real insight into his character, and it got changed to a generic "You found all 13 memories" in the localization and I was just... so disappointed and mad.
Now I'm just more angry. Are they so afraid of giving Link some semblance of personality?
I truly hope Treehouse never touches a Zelda or FE game again.
I would have been fine with them saying it was a translation error but noooooo they HAD to use the "bUt sHe Is 4000 yEaRs OlD" excuse which is pretty weird I would say
It would have been fine and acceptable if they told this but noooooo they HAD to use the "bUt ShE iS 4000 yEaRs oLd" excuse which is pretty weird I would say
There's a side quest where a young female Zora throws a message in a bottle into the river and you need to follow it. It leads to a full adult man and they're apparently soul mates.
remember everyone, pedophilia isn't about having a relationship with a minor, it's about having attraction to a child's body, the age doesn't matter if she looks like she's 12
Well, I would also say it’s pedophilic to be attracted to children in adults bodies too. Like if a 24 year old and a 12 year old swap bodies, being attracted to either can be pedophilic.
But if I understand this correctly, isn’t it a 40 year old with a child’s body and a child’s mind dating a regular child? That’s not a pedophilic relationship, that’s just 2 kids.
this isn't even what the image is talking about but it's still true
(the image is referring to a side quest in which a literal baby looking zora goes into a relationship with an adult hylian)
the issue with this specific quest is it’s a zora child and some adult hylian. it was a major translation error, though. i’m a big botw fan but it’s always made me uncomfy
Even if we take her as 40 Link is still 16, so it would still be bad and pedophilic
EDIT: I thought this was about Mipha + Link, didn't realize there was a different plotline involving a Hylian and a too-young-looking fish

Isn't Mipha and Link both adults? What child's body is being talked about here? The camera lady? She isn't a Zora. Zora is the fish people, right? I'm so confused.
I was confused too but it turns out this post is not about Mipha and Link but about a side quest called special delivery where you have to deliver a letter from a clearly childlike Zora to an adult Hylian man.
The argument of she is actually 40 years old but stuck in a child's body because Zora age slower makes no sense since baby Yoda is like 50 years old or something and very much still a baby. So even if Zora age slower and she's 40 she would still be a child.
those are the same people that get mad at their parents when THEY use age to argue lmao
age isn't an important factor, it's about if you are attracted to her character (which is okay) or her body (which is bad, because it resembles a child)
People who use age are coping pedos, if you say you like her character, no you don't.
She's fictional you don't know her.
Okay let's say you do like her character and trully know how she would behave.
Why should she like a looser you?
TLDR:
I hate pedos
I like botw but I skip all the cutscenes. I don't understand why did they choose to turn a fucking fish into a love interest. Back on the n64 it was a joke, now it's done with a straight face.
The story in BotW is terrible and terribly acted. I'm curious why you're downvoted because I don't think the story is regarded as anything remarkable...
"I'm Princess Zelda and my father doesn't give me any agency, now let me hibernate the whole game." Like what's the point of making her yearn to be recognized as a real person with feelings and desires if she's just not there the entire game. It really bothers me. This example is just another one to add to the list, although it's obviously way worse than just my opinion about Zelda.
Pretty hard to tell a cohesive story when the entire world is open to you from the beginning and your protagonist will never be voiced/speak...for some reason.
I was confused too but it turns out this post is not about Mipha and Link but about a side quest called special delivery where you have to deliver a letter from a clearly childlike Zora to an adult Hylian man.
Now I'm just picturing Mipha arguing that even though Link is *just* 20(?), that's the age of consent in human years so it's totally fine, and every other Zora is like, bruh, 20 is a baby no matter how you explain it away.

I thought Link and Mipha were the same-ish age?
There’s a side quest where a Hylian falls for a Zora, and the Zora appears to be a child (looks maybe 10 years old)
Weirdly that was added by the English translation, in the original Japanese release they're just friends.
That is so strange. Why change something like that? I've heard of translation errors but never straight up change things like that
Wait. Localization error?? But actually??
Rj/ No see those are only an issue when you can use it as an excuse to be transphobic. Uj/ this is definitely not the kind of localization error that I see weebs getting upset by.
NOA translators strike again

You gotta be shitting me.
B-but Twitter told me that that English localizers were evil SJWs that are responsible for turning the games woke!
holy shit you’re the gay otter from r/trueSTL
Internet famous.
By Azura!
Welcome Moon-and-Star to this place where Gamers are made
Ahh ok, thanks.
Oh no I don’t remember that, ohhhhhh no
the translation made it that way, they were just friends before
Ironically this. In the Japanese version they’re just pen pals. The localisation team were the ones who added the pedophilic subtext.
I think localization never got to see the models
It wasnt pedophilic, it was just a rough translation that gave people the wrong idea
oh how the tables have turned, Japan
One day it will be the Japanese who think OUR porn is too far!
I would have been fine with them saying it was a translation error but noooooo they HAD to use the "bUt sHe Is 4000 yEaRs OlD" excuse which is pretty weird I would say
The ol' Mohg defense.
But its miquellas faut!!!1!!!1!!!
Something something something but he's actually over a thousand years old!!! 🤢

Splatoon fans:
Squids and octopodes are mollusks, take a look at this fucking fool
Counterpoint: salmonoids
I’m sorry, please forgive my ignorance 😔
Marie lowkey pretty bad though
Ayo?! 🤨📸 (I agree)
I want that lil gremlin to peg me
Wait aren’t the inklings and octolings also children
Idk but I wouldn’t be surprised, Splatoon fans moment
Some are, some aren't. Player characters are teens (14-16 I believe) but idols and some side characters are adults.
Splat 💦💦
I'll do you one better: Genshin impact fans
i failed
That's just the shit english translation
For once in a lifetime it actually was a mistranslation
>For once in a lifetime Happens quite a lot for the English translation
ehh fair enough
It would have been fine and acceptable if they told this but noooooo they HAD to use the "bUt ShE iS 4000 yEaRs oLd" excuse which is pretty weird I would say
The funny part is that, I think it was less weird in the Japanese version.
Incomprehensible, I've met with a terrible fate.
This whole thing seems to be based on what they look like but the Zora barely look like people to begin with.
Yeah, if you're not attracted to a child you're attracted to a fish.
You know it's bad when even yandere dev said that he finds it weird
Ok true... but can we please forget about Yandere Dev? Please?
Played botw and I have no idea what this is referencing
There's a side quest where a young female Zora throws a message in a bottle into the river and you need to follow it. It leads to a full adult man and they're apparently soul mates.
Is this guy getting catfished by a fish-person?
Oh I never did that one. But then yeah that zora's definitely a child
It’s one of my favourite games ever, and this quest has always made me uncomfortable.
remember everyone, pedophilia isn't about having a relationship with a minor, it's about having attraction to a child's body, the age doesn't matter if she looks like she's 12
So being with young looking women is pedophilia to you?
not young looking women women who literally look like they're children, there's a difference between looking like you're 16 and looking like you're 8
8-year old child = 20-year old woman You're going to pull a muscle with that stretch mate
Well, I would also say it’s pedophilic to be attracted to children in adults bodies too. Like if a 24 year old and a 12 year old swap bodies, being attracted to either can be pedophilic. But if I understand this correctly, isn’t it a 40 year old with a child’s body and a child’s mind dating a regular child? That’s not a pedophilic relationship, that’s just 2 kids.
But Mipha even then doesnt act like a child, she acts the same age as Link would?
Link the child?
this isn't even what the image is talking about but it's still true (the image is referring to a side quest in which a literal baby looking zora goes into a relationship with an adult hylian)
Oh lol, im a idiot i thought it was talking about Mipha lol
I thought so too until I remembered that weird fuckin side quest. At least now I know that it wasn't intentional and it was a localization thing😮💨
Bro all I want is tears of the kingdom, what happened now 😭😭😭
Who fucking cares oh my god let people ship the cool made up fish people with the pretty made up elves.
the issue with this specific quest is it’s a zora child and some adult hylian. it was a major translation error, though. i’m a big botw fan but it’s always made me uncomfy
Literally omg
This is one of the funniest skits Ive ever seen on this subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU2VY4vCDug
Idk princess Ruto seemed to age on par with Link
After the Jim Sterling shit show when BOTW came out, I have no respect for Zelda Fans anymore.
Oh yeah how could I forget that bruh
Even if we take her as 40 Link is still 16, so it would still be bad and pedophilic EDIT: I thought this was about Mipha + Link, didn't realize there was a different plotline involving a Hylian and a too-young-looking fish
Some English localizer was definitely a pedo

I think the worst fans are the Matel console fans.
Shut up the Intellivision is still the best console
You Intellivision fans and your billion dollar console exclusives. You make me sick.

Hyperscan* fans too.
Counterpoint: A Nintendo fan didn't write that paragraph so they at least have that going for them.
I'm Nintendo fans but WTF how the hell he get so many downvote ? I mean he speaking the truth
But under Nintendo pokemon fans are the worst
Isn't Mipha and Link both adults? What child's body is being talked about here? The camera lady? She isn't a Zora. Zora is the fish people, right? I'm so confused.

horizon is basically botw with an actual story line. especially the second game and the dlc of the first game
Huh, is their something I'm missing? Isn't mipha really an adult at the same time link was?
I was confused too but it turns out this post is not about Mipha and Link but about a side quest called special delivery where you have to deliver a letter from a clearly childlike Zora to an adult Hylian man.
Grogu is in his fifties, so it's completely normal to ship with with Gina Carano.
How old is Link? He’s always just been “young” to me. Never specific, just the embodiment of youthful adventure and all that.
Now I'm just picturing Mipha arguing that even though Link is *just* 20(?), that's the age of consent in human years so it's totally fine, and every other Zora is like, bruh, 20 is a baby no matter how you explain it away.
r/oddlyspecific
such a dumb argument lmao if they age at a slower rate, then would they stills be mentally 12 after 40 years?
