Kaguya Hime Densetsu English translation
かぐや姫伝説 · The Legend of Princess Kaguya
FCandChill and TheMajinZenki's complete English localization of the Famicom adventure Kaguya Hime Densetsu, a new translation that revisits snark's 2009 patch.
What's translated
The whole script has been translated by TheMajinZenki and localized and proofread by FCandChill, who also handled the assembly work, the tools and the graphics. The project kept snark's much older translation in its script files for comparison and corrects a quiz question that the earlier patch got wrong.
A translated manual is published by the same team in a companion repository, and an optional assembly patch in the source tidies up some of the game's rougher CG art.
