Derek shows you a forgotten little SNES RPG that’s difficult to recommend to everyone

The man never left – he just went on hiatus – he’s Derek, baby. He rolls into town, impregnates all the women, then hits the road, always on the search for new adventures.

When did he leave? Recently he has made two retrobeats, the Earthbound Re-edit, has a new dvd he’s been working on as well as starship amazing and his actual job. I wonder when or if he even finds time to play games for fun any more

It’s great to hear again from Derek

I’ve been hearing people call Adventure of Link, Link’s Adventure a lot….is there a region specific version that is named differently?

The game was originally released in Japan as Zelda no Densetsu 2: Link no Bouken (The Legend of Zelda 2: Link’s Adventure), so yes that works.

And you honestly think that this has to do anything with… anything? People only call it Link’s Adventure because it sounds much more natural than Adventure of Link. Maybe Link’s Awakening has some impact on it, too. “Link’s Adventure” and “Adventure of Link” means the same, so Link no Bouken means both. God…

It’s interesting that people translate it that way. It seems a fairly inconsistant way to do things considering both parts of the title have the same structure. I’d normally read it as Zelda no Densetsu (Legend of Zelda) Link no Bouken (Adventure of Link) otherwise the translation is inconsistant if it’s considered to be direct. I’d actually be more likely believe it to be a personal preference thing than a “correct” translation thing.
