LINE BY LINE: Translating Majora's Mask (Documentary)

[@ThePantsarama]

Thanks for the beautiful work, Javed! I’m truly honored to be the subject of your doc! We spent hours upon hours talking about my experience, and you crafted it all into a story that’s so much bigger. I can only hope I did the same with Majora’s Mask. Thank you to everyone who read my words in the game and watched my story here. My heart containers are forever full.

[@TheHyruleJournals]

Thanks again for letting me tell your story!

[@UltimateTobi]

You certainly did. Thank you for also being responsible of one of my most cherished childhood memories.

[@CDdurive]

It shows in the doc how proud you are about your work on the game, and I’m glad to see you so happy sharing your memories about its making. I personally think Majora’s Mask is the better game, and it’s in part due to your invaluable work. Thank you for conveying the story and emotions of the game! ❤

[@Cmchristich88]

Thank you for your work on Majora’s Mask. I consider the game to be the most impactful of my childhood. Of all the Zelda game’s that I’ve played, it has the most “heart”. It will forever be my favorite in the series.

​@ThePantsarama thanks so much for getting this translated for us! Majora's Mask has been my all time favorite since I first played it back then. The stories of the people of Termina pull on my heart strings. Fictional they may be, but as I found out in this video, it was an illustration of what the makers were experiencing. Just... wow. Job well done, sir!

@@ThePantsarama Thank you for making a game that held a great mental presence on me as a kid. I wasn't born early enough for the N64, but it was on my family's Wii virtual console.

As a kid one of my favourite things to do in Majora's Mask was just seeing how all the NPC's would react to the masks. Loved your work Jason!

[@perriwinkleiii5361]

Fantastic doc. I didn't know about the writers' side of the story, how they wove loneliness and tragedy into the game to reflect their own feelings about being away from home and family. That puts it in a different light entirely.

The N64 Duology is in my top 5 games of all time, it's nice seeing people still talk about them even after two decades.

A lot of people will come into this video being Zelda fans and wanting to know more about the history of Majora's Mask - but I haven't even played the game yet, and still it's fun just to see the creativity, the love and the work put both into the game itself and the video about it. Please keep doing what you're doing, Javed!

[@MumboMod]

Man, I'm so thankful for Jason's incredible work on Majora's, and for you guys reporting on it.

[@annysummer1206]

To me, and I think to many people, the most important aspect of Majora's Mask has to be the dialogue. Obviously the gameplay, music and everything else has to work as well to make a great game. But at it's core Majora's Mask is known for it's characters. All the different side quests you can do. Learning their schedules throughout the three days. Trying to solve their problems. All of this would have never been the same if the dialogue and text just wasn't right. Now, I grew up with the german translation of this game, all Zelda games in fact, and over time as I started to understand English a lot better, I started to go through these games with my second language. And seeing the difference between those two languages shows that trying to translate something into a new language? It will never be perfect. Things will always get lost even if it's just the tiniest piece. It will drown in this large language gap. Especially with a language translation from Japanese into English. (The biggest example to me will always be how Saria's German name is Salia, which is derived from how the R and L are very, if not identical in Japanese) Seeing all the work and struggles that are put into trying to create an authentic and true to the game's story translation, it really makes you appreciate the text and dialogue a lot more. Because without these people, we would not have the stories that we have today.

[@Makkuvideos]

Incredibly fascinating as a lifelong zelda fan. You’ve gone above and beyond.

[@cuttleb0nes]

ok but I need to know- what’s the full story behind “You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?” it’s not only of the most iconic zelda quotes, but one of the most iconic quotes from any video game ever. was it a direct translation from japanese? does the japanese text read the same way with the same tone? or was its literal translation something different and jason put a spin on it to really emphasize the peculiarity of the happy mask salesman?? amazing video!!

[@chefbob22]

This is such an amazing documentary. I'm truly grateful that you explored this aspect creating the game that is normally not thought about.

[@elsiebartlett6808]

Majora’s Mask will probably always be my favorite Zelda of all time, largely in part due to the English translation I was able to read. Thank you for all of your hard work on this video, and thanks to the translators and writers who worked so hard on a beautiful complex story!

[@Radien]

Thinking back to Majora's Mask's English dialog, it seemed at times to be a little awkward, but it was never hard to understand what was going on and the whole text was oozing with character in a way that was rare for the time. In retrospect, the huge rush and the size of the workload probably account for the slight awkwardness. The setting and story are inherently odd and sometimes intentionally uncomfortable, so i think it worked out really well. ❤️

Jason’s story feels like a perfect spot to capture when regarding Majora’s Mask, considering it’s the title that all of my friends point to as their favorite for its story and characters. I honestly think this game helped shape the idea of modern video game storytelling, and to see and hear Jason’s perspective is so fun. Thank you both, Javed and Jason. I’m glad to see Jason getting the recognition he deserves, and glad to see Javed back to making doc masterpieces again.

i hope you see this, because it's rare that i get to personally tell an artist what their work means to me. Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda, it's a piece of art that has fundamentally altered my development as a human being. it's a story about radical empathy, about the meaning of altruism in the face of nothingness. it's about finding peace in grief, and has given me the courage to reach out and offer aid in the face of overwhelming forces. it's a piece of art that has made me, and anyone who engages with its themes, a better and more empathetic person. the world is a better place for having this story be told. Genuinely, thank you for your efforts in bringing it to more people.

This was such a cool and different exploration of the Zelda series. Please keep making this content, it's absolutely excellent. ❤

[@underthelidar]

I read Nintendo Power and played MM as a kid. It was really cool to learn about Jason as a contributor to both and to see how this worked out Zelda. I had never thought about how this must happen, it’s great to see this in-depth look at the localization. The English text in this game is so rich, I think Jason did indeed help the game meet its goals and made it a great sequel!

[@ThePantsarama]

I'm so grateful to have been at the magazine at that time and to have been given the opportunity to work on Majora's Mask. I'm even more grateful for all the amazing Zelda gamers and NP readers like you, Ryan. Thanks so much!

[@thedude9024]

MM is far superior than OOT in terms of dialogue, storyline and dwelves deeper into the interlinked stories of Termina. With the 3 day reset, is truely is a dwelve into time and philosophy. What an amazing game, it initially probably didn't taste as good as the previous game but it sure has aged well like a bottle of wine.

I was honestly too scared to play it as a kid. I tend to dream about the games I play (I get really immersed), and parts of Ocarina of Time gave me some creepy dreams. I played it on the Wii virtual console many years later. Fantastic game… But definitely scary.

4 years after first seeing your Ocarina of Time video, we finally have the long-awaited sequel! And much like Majora's Mask itself, it's not what I thought it would be, but it's a much more personal journey than I expected. Majora's Mask is a game about relationships and is a testament to just how connected we are to each other, especially when we can't see it on the surface. Jason's story is so emblematic of that and really showcases what was at the heart of Majora's Mask when it was made. My dude, take a bow!

This makes it even more powerful than it already was. Thank you for this amazing documentary, can't wait for the next one!

[@AF-nh2ux]

I remember in my first play through the particular moment while wearing the Gordon mask you had to calm down a crying Gordon baby by playing them a lullaby. I immediately understood the lullaby and crying was a lot more than just calming them down. I interpreted it as helping the elders son accepting that their big older brother was dead…. I always bring this moment up to people when trying to argue for the serious artistic merit of video games and I applaud and thank Jason for managing to successfully translate this monumental game!

The dialogue is one of the greatest things about it, as it really put the humanity of every character feel real, even for a fantasy story. And part of that comes down to all of the people who made it. Huge thank you to this guy for the dialogue, and to everyone who was a part of the project!

Thank you, Nintendo, for yet another masterpiece

[@LJ-wo1wf]

I wish I had been able to give Majora's Mask more of my attention at the time. I was busy with a new job, I wasn't home for weeks or months at times (and didn't have many free weekends), and so I couldn't stay in the game enough to keep track of everything I needed to do. I simply forgot about the mission and quest goals, and I didn't even remember which time period I was in. I'd turn it on and spend a while just trying to reorient myself in the story's progress.

Jason and Javed, it's people like you two, who both are endlessly creative and talented, yet also humble and grounded, that make this such a rich platform, and make the zelda series the deeply beloved adventure it is. I'll never forget the first time I played majora's mask via the 3DS remake- I was months away from graduating high school, and I was simultaneously elated and terrified. I was excited to be moving on to bigger and better things, and proud of how far I'd come thus far, but was hurting to know how much I was leaving behind, and nervous and scared about what lay ahead. I had no idea how much my time in termina would capture and parallel those thoughts and feelings, and I'll never forget it. Thank you Jason, for your contribution to one of my most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had, and thank you Javed, for sharing this with us.
