If there is a game that is coming from Japan to North America, you can be sure that the issue of audio localization will come up.

If you were to put together a short summary of all Zelda games that feature Ganon, what would you say for the end? Would you conclude your tale by saying that Ganon was killed by Link, or would you say that he was merely subdued? When you start to pick apart each Zelda [...]
