This guide was typed by Zeldafreak84 (http://antisoft.tripod.com) using information found on others sites, although mostly from Nintendo Co. Ltd. (http://www.nintendo.co.jp). I would like to thank Davogones (http://loz.zeldalegends.net) for assisting me with various parts of the guide and for putting that fire under my butt to get this guide made.

This is a guide that has a name comparasion between the USA and Japanese Versions of the games.  

This guide is fairly simple to use. The Japanese text is stored in SHIFT-JIS format, so if your computer isn't able to understand it it will be displayed as grabled text. But fear not for I have included the roman charactors as well for those who do not wish to download a viewer for it.  For the romanized Japanese text all UPPERCASE letters represent katakana (used for words not of Japanese Origin), all undercase letters represtent hiragana/kanji (used for words of Japanese origin), and first letter capitalized indicates a kanji (a Japanese "pictograph").

In future versions I am going to include the translations of the words along with the patterns used in the Japanese language, different translations, etc...

1. USA/European name
2. Japanese name (Japanese Characters)
3. Japanese name (Roman Characters)
4. Rough (literal) English traslation by Zeldafreak84 and Davogones.  With the help of JQuickTrans.
5. "Proper" English translation (I picked the one I thought sounder "better" for games. Davogones may have a differnent one due to a couple different way of saying it.)
