The official Japanese Link’s Awakening guide contains a Staff Questionnaire in which the team members discuss their role in creating the game, their dreams, and their thoughts on the Game Boy title. Scans kindly provided by Lavacopter.

Reading that kind of makes me want to hit Nobuo over the head with a foam bat.

I'm surprised there haven't been any bites on the traces of Tarin popping out of a treasure chest still to be found in the code. Is no one interested?

Why do you want to hit Nobuo? D:

Everyone at Nintendo's kind of goofy-looking. More photos to come on the next 2 pages.

Because it seems he's the genius who added all the really annoying dialog to the game. You know, the ones that only show up in the DX version, that are basically really, really obvious hints?


As for Tarin, well, maybe someone should get on that

Page 3 is up!

Did you know Bucket Mouse was a mistranslation or that the characters of Link's Awakening are modeled after a certain TV show?

Thanks to ZeroOne for answering my questions about LA for this part.

Hey, nice of you to translate that info.

I have been meaning to ask this for a while now: What's up with the screwed-up dates?

Page 108 wholly suggests 1998/1999 by dates of birth and ages.

Page 109 for instance: Kiyoshi Koda is 28 years old and born in 1967. This suggests these interviews were held in 1995/1996. Kyoko Kimura at 26, born 1970 suggests 1996 for sure. The rest of the page suggests Feb. 1999.

Page 110 suggests it was early 1999, same as page 111.

So I conclude it was probably held somewhere between February 27th and February 3rd, exclusive.

So how come those dates in the middle page just seem so off compared to the rest?!

EDIT: Also, could you give the original phrase for Yuuichi Ozaki's "transparent sorrow"?

Also, if I may make a suggestion: Much of the text would profit from being set justified. Also, the first page contains some incogruencies: Some paragraphs actually start with a space while most of the others later on use bullets (even for single sentences..?). I don't know how easy it would be for you to remake those pages, but I think it would be quite a quality gain - typographically.

cYa,

Tauwasser

Good catch, I guess I screwed up somehow on the cross-referencing or when I was replacing the actual dates with the placeholders.

Koda should be 1970 and Kimura should be 1973, respectively.

I'll have to fix and reupload, in the meantime, let's hope no one else notices. =)

Do you just happen to know every single Nintendo staffer's birthday?

Also, doesn't Kuzuhara on the last page look rapturous?

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.

You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and

the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
