10 Things You Never Knew About The Original Legend Of Zelda

10. There Are Spelling Mistakes Galore

It's mind-boggling how much text and dialogue has to be written for modern games. For Batman: Arkham Knight, the lead actor, Kevin Conroy, recorded 36,000 lines of dialogue. The script for GTA V was over 3,500 pages long. Not only does someone have to write all that, editors need to correct every spelling mistake and grammatical error.

Sadly, this wasn't a major priority in the old days. Video games of the 1980s had very little text but the programmers still managed to screw it up. Even Nintendo's pride and joy, The Legend of Zelda, had a number of errors when it was translated into English.

In the introduction, Ganon is called "Gannon" and the Triforce of Power is referred to as "The Triforce with Power". The gems are spelt “Rupies" in the game but are referred to as "Rubies" in the intruction manual. In future games, they are spelt “Rupees.” (Make up your mind, guys.)

The Old Man tells you to “aim at the eyes of Gohma” even though the enemy only has one eye. On top of that, the Old Man misspells Peninsula as “Penninsula.” How come Hyrule has magic and enchanted swords but nobody owns a dictionary?
