Translation NES / Famicom

Zelda Chuanshuo: San Shen zhi Li English translation

塞尔达传说-三神之力 · The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods · The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Famicom bootleg)

pacnsacdave's English patch for Waixing's Chinese Famicom bootleg of A Link to the Past, retitled Triforce of the Gods.

What's translated

The patch translates the bootleg's Chinese story text, dialogue and menus into English, and gives it the title screen The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods, after the game's Japanese name. Version 1.1 tidied up the text, fixed the spacing of words on screen and added the translated menus.

The game

It is an 8-bit take on A Link to the Past that follows the original's layout while cutting corners where the Famicom couldn't keep up. Expect simpler movement, reworked bosses and a soundtrack of its own.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Chinese cartridge, following the instructions on the creator's page. Translation by pacnsacdave.
