#and how aware he is of the separation between him and zur

[fortanuvasyama]

If we're taking Bruce at his word here (and if we consider that "it's not me" to be Zur agreeing) essentially that means that everything Bruce has done thus far was his own choice. Attacking his kids, poisoning Jason, abandoning Damian, those were Bruce's decisions, not Zur's.

Bruce decided he knew best, and he has no remorse for how the people he apparently loves have suffered for it.

Translation: German manga of “The Minish Cap”, Part 6: “True Strength”

Do not fret! The bonus chapter will be done separately. But, the mainline adventure comes to a close, at least for now.

My translation key: DT: „direct translation" (translated word for word) EQ: “English equivalent” (as in, as close to an English-sounding sentence as it’s gonna get) DT/EQ: „"direct translation/English equivalent" (for when the DT is so similar to an EQ that it’s practically English already) OE: “official English (translation as given in the English version of “The Minish Cap”)“ (NOTE:) “anything I need to point out” (exactly what it says on the tin) BG: „backwards German” for the Minish language in forwards form BOE: “the forwards version of the Minish language in the OE version” BOET: “the TRANSLATION of the forwards version of the Minish language in the OE version”

My translation work under the cut.

Ezelo: „Die Heilige Stätte ist ein merkwürdiger Ort zwischen der Minish-und der Menschenwelt. Den Eingang findest du im Schloss Hyrule. Er öffnet sich nur alle 100 Jahre." DT: „The Holy Site is a strange location between the Minish-and the humanworld. The entrance find you in (the) Castle Hyrule. It opens itself only every 100 years." EQ: "The Holy Site is a strange location between the Minish-and-human-worlds. You'll find the entrance in Hyrule Castle. It only opens itself every 100 years." OE: "It's a strange place between the world of the Picori and the word of people. The entrance is in Hyrule Castle, but it only opens once every century." (NOTE: Although, this might be Melari speaking. I can't tell.)

Link: „Na, dann los!" DT: „Well, then go!" EQ: "Well, let's go, then!" OE: "Hyrule Castle?"

Ezelo: „Wie du weißt, ist jetzt das 100. Jahr. Das Schwert mit der Macht der vier Elemente müsste Prinzessin Zelda vom Fluch befreien!" DT: „How you know, is now that 100. year. The Sword with the power (of) the four Elements must Princess Zelda from (the) curse free!" EQ: "You know that this is the 100th year. The Sword with the power of the four Elements must free Princess Zelda from the curse!" OE: "We know THIS is the hundredth year. With the Four Elements in the Sword, we should be able to BREAK Princess Zelda's curse!"

Link: „Das Force?" DT/EQ: „"The Force?" OE: "The Light Force?"

Hofstatt: „Ja, er sagt, wir müssen es finden. Aber wir haben keine Ahnung, wo es sein konnte. Tja ja..." DT: „Yes, he says, we must it find. But we have no clue, where it be could. Well yes..." EQ: "Yes, he says we must find it. But, we have no clue where it could be. Aw, well..." OE: "We have no idea where it is... ...But he ordered us not to return without it."

Link: „Warum braucht er das Force...?" DT: „Why needs he the Force...?" EQ: "Why does he need the Force...?" OE: "Why does the King suddenly want the Light Force?"

Minister Friedrich: „Oh, Link! Eure Majestät! Link ist zurück!" DT/EQ: „"Oh, Link! Your Majesty! Link is back!" OE: "OH! LINK! Your Majesty, Link has returned!"

Link: „Ich bin zurück, Prinzessin Zelda... Und ich habe das Heilige Schwert. Bald bist du erlöst!" DT: „I am back, Princess Zelda... And I have the Holy Sword. Soon are you rescued!" EQ: "I am back, Princess Zelda... And I have the Holy Sword. Soon, you'll be rescued!" OE: "I'm back, Princess Zelda! I've got the sacred Sword. Don't worry, I'll free you soon!"

König Dartus-Vaati: „Gute Leistung, Link. Ist das Schwert repariert?" DT/EQ: „"Good performance, Link. Is the Sword repaired?" OE: "You must be tired from your journey. Is the sacred Sword complete?" (NOTE: This is not even a plot twist anymore. Vaati is disguised as King Daltus and if one more person says Vaati possessed him, I'm gonna--)

Link: „Ja! Ich muss nur noch die Macht der vier Elemente darauf übertragen. Wo finde ich die Heilige Stätte?" DT: „Yes! I must only still the power (of) the four Elements thereon transfer. Where find I the Holy Site?" EQ: "Yes! I still must transfer on the power of the Four Elements. Where can I find the Holy Site?" OE: "Yes! Now we can fill it with the Four Elements. Sire, where is the Elemental Sanctuary?"

König Dartus-Vaati: „Heilige Stätte? Was ist das?" DT/EQ: „"Holy Site? What is that?" OE: "Elemental Sanctuary? What's that?"

Minister Friedrich: „Geht es Euch nicht gut? Laut Sage befindet sich der Eingang im Hinterhof..." DT: „Goes it (for) you not well? According legend located itself the entrance in (the) Courtyard..." EQ: "Are you not feeling well? According to legend, the entrance is located in the Courtyard..." OE: "But Your Majesty... ...You said the Elemental Sanctuary is in the Castle's inner courtyard." (NOTE: Idiomatic.)

König Dartus-Vaati: „Oh, ja stimmt." DT: „Oh, yes right." EQ: "Oh, that's right." OE: "Oh... THAT Elemental Sanctuary!"

Minister Friedrich: „Ich werde mitkommen. Ich möchte sehen, wie die Macht übertragen wird." DT: „I will with-come. I would like see, how the power transferred is." EQ: "I will come along. I would like to see how the power is transferred." OE: "Yes. Well, let's go! I want to be there when the Elements go into the Sword!" (NOTE: This is completely random, but it just literally occurred to me that during more important/dramatic moments, all of the sound effects disappear. I don't know if that was intentional or if it was just a coincidence, though...)

Minister Friedrich: „Es heißt, irgendwo in diesem Hof... Für Erwachsene ist es allerdings nicht zu sehen." DT: „It says, somewhere in this Courtyard... For adults is it though not to see." EQ: "It is said it's somewhere in this Courtyard... Though, adults cannot see it." OE: "According to legend, the Sanctuary is in this courtyard. Like the Picori, it cannot be seen by grown-ups."

Link: „So, Feder... Wo ist der Eingang?" DT: „So, Feather... Where is the entrance?" OE: "Tell me, Feather... Where's the entrance?" (NOTE: Wait a second... I'm confused on how aware Feather is... So... It's sentient enough to draw Maps, respond to a remark Link made about Librari, and turn into a Cape; but not sentient enough to prevent Link from falling nearly to his death after fainting???)

Link: „Das... ist doch nur eine Mauer...?" DT: „This... is still only a Wall...?" EQ: "This... is just a Wall...?" OE: "But that's just a wall!" (NOTE: All in all, it's just another brick in the wall...)

The door should be open. Just step through." (NOTE: Now, I'm just imagining an alternate take where the door WAS locked, and Link just smashes his face into it while trying to walk through.)

König Dartus-Vaati: „!! Was... Was ist passiert?! Verdammt!" DT: „!! What... What is occurred?! Damn it!" EQ: "!! What... What happened?! Damn it!" OE: "! Wha...? How'd he do that?!" (NOTE: *spits coffee out again* HOW IS THIS WORSE TO ME THAN LINK OR EZLO SAYING IT?!)

The Minish gave the humans Sword and hope... ...and defeat the evil." EQ: "The attack of the Monsters... The Minish giving the humans the Sword and hope... ...and defeating the evil." OE: "Even spirits attacked. The Picori gave people a Sword and a Light, and... ...the evil spirits were beaten."

Link: „! Prinzessin Zelda?!" DT/EQ: „"! Princess Zelda?!" OE: "! Princess Zelda?!"

EQ: "This... is probably a hint that the Force lies in Princess Zelda!" OE: "This shows... ...that the Light Force is INSIDE Princess Zelda!"

Ezelo: „Wahrscheinlich wird das Force den Prinzessin der Hyrule seit Generationen weitergegeben. Die mystiche Macht der Prinzessin ist der Beweis dafür!!" DT: „Presumably is the Force the Princess (of) the Hyrule since generations passed-down. The mystical power (of) the Princess is the proof therefore!!" EQ: "Presumably, the Force is passed-down through the generations in the Princess of Hyrule. The mystical power of the Princess is the proof of this!!" OE: "It lives in the Princess of Hyrule's Royal Family, passing from generation to generation. It's the source of Princess Zelda's mysterious power!"

Link: „Das Force liegt in ihr!" DT/EQ: „"The Force lies in her!" OE: "The Light Force was inside Princess Zelda all along?!"

Ezelo: „Weder die Königsfamilie... noch Prinzessin Zelda wissen etwas davon." DT: „Neither the Royal-family... nor Princess Zelda knows anything thereof." EQ: "Neither the Royal-family... nor Princess Zelda knew anything of that." OE: "I bet the Royal Family-- even Princess Zelda herself-- had no idea."

König Dartus-Vaati: „Verstehe..." DT: „Understand..." EQ: "I understand..." OE: "Simply amazing!" (NOTE: Could also be a simple, "I see...")

König Dartus-Vaati: „So ist das also. Damit habe ich nicht gerechnet." DT: „So is that so. Therewith have I not expected." EQ: "So, that's it. I never expected that." OE: "THAT'S its secret! It was right under my nose."

Link: „Sie sind... versteinert?! Selbst der Minister!!" DT/EQ: „"They are... petrified?! Even the Minister!!" OE: "Everyone's turned to stone! Even Minister Potho!" (NOTE: OH MY GOSH, I just realised that the pose Minister Potho got frozen in highly implies that he was running to go get help and now my heart is breaking.)

Ezelo: „Das war Vaati!" DT/EQ: „"That was Vaati!" OE: "This is Vaati's doing!"

Minister Friedrich: „Ah, Link. Vaati hat..." DT/EQ: „"Ah, Link. Vaati (x)..." OE: "Oh, Link! W-Where's the Princess?" (NOTE: And with this, German averts the biggest error in the English version-- the SEVERAL backwards speech-bubbles. I matched them up as well as I could.)

Minister Friedrich: „...die Prinzessin mitgenommen! Er wollte ein Ritual beginnen!!" DT: „...the Princess took-away! He wants a Ritual begin!!" EQ: "...took away the Princess! He wants to begin a Ritual!!" OE: "That horrible Vaati... He TOOK her! He said something about a ritual!"

OE: "This is Dark Hyrule Castle! Vaati must've made it!" (NOTE: And „Dunkles Schloss Hyrule" has become "finsteren Schloss Hyrule" because...???)

Toneffekte: „RÄÄÄÄH!" DT/EQ: „"GRAAAAH!" OE: "GRAAAH"

Link: „Was zum Henker?!" DT: „What (to) the hanger?!" EQ: "What the hell?!" OE: "W-What IS this?!" (NOTE: Idiomatic, and sort of where English got the phrase "hang it all", and could also mean the slightly harsher, "What the fuck?".)

What a protective-energy... how do I get the Force from out of her?!" OE: "Drat! Her resistance is quite strong! I must draw the power of the Light Force out quickly!" (NOTE: I love how English Vaati is so certain that he can get the Light Force out of Zelda, but German Vaati's all like, "Gee, how do I do this???".)

Vaati: „Ich muss es schaffen, bevor die beiden kommen." DT: „I must it achieve, before the both come." EQ: "I must achieve it, before they both get here." OE: "I KNOW Link's on his way!"

Vaati: „Oh Force! Verleih mir mehr Macht!! Verleih mir die Macht der Flamme, die selbst das Schwert zum schmelzen bringt!!" DT: „Oh Force! Lend me more power!! Lend me the power (of) the flames, the even the Sword to (the) melt bring!!" EQ: "Oh, Force! Lend me more power!! Lend me the power of flames, that can even cause the Sword to melt!" OE: "Light Force, give me MORE power! I want a fireball hot enough to MELT that blasted Sword!" (NOTE: KRAFT DES FEUERS, BRENNE IN DEN SAITEN MEINER GITARRE!!! ...Oh wait. Wrong game.)

Toneffekte: „ZOSCH GRRN" DT/EQ: „"ZOSCH GRRN" OE: "VRRNG WHOOM"

So, I've attained everything! And you all will never obtain this!!" OE: "Behold me now! In this form I can do anything! Anything! Whatever I imagine becomes reality!" (NOTE: Oh my god, this implies that Vaati achieved some form of twisted enlightenment in the German version, and now I want to puke...)

Toneffekte: „BOBOSCH" DT/EQ: „"BOBOOSH" OE: "FOOM FOOM FOOM FOOM" (NOTE: I love how Link has literally no reason to believe that the reflection thing wouldn't work again and THAT'S why he's caught off-guard when the bats set his tunic ablaze.)

Prinzessin Zelda: „Link..." DT/EQ: „"Link..." OE: "Link..." (NOTE: I realise this completely ruins the moment, but... Zelda as a statue was on that pedestal. Here, she's on the floor/ground, presumably because she's right in the middle of walking towards Link. But here's what gets me. She's suddenly in front of VAATI, meaning that she STEPPED OVER HIS UNCONSCIOUS BODY JUST TO GET TO LINK.)

Link: „Zelda!!" DT/EQ: „"Zelda!!" OE: "Zelda!"

Prinzessin Zelda: „Link... Habe ich geschlaffen...? Ich habe die ganze Zeit von dir geträumt." DT: „Link... Have I slept...? I (x) the whole time of you dreamt." EQ: "Link... Have I been sleeping...? I dreamt of you the whole time." OE: "Link, was I alseep? I dreamed of you the whole time."

Link: „Für alle." DT/EQ: „"For everyone." OE: "The Castle!" (NOTE: I know the Japanese one also said "The Castle!", but German really took this scene to the next level by wording it this way.)

Hofstatt: „?" DT/EQ: „"?" OE: "?" (NOTE: Also ruins the moment, but it just occurred to me that they saved the Great Fairy of Mayflies, meaning that she's just gonna die in, like, five seconds since she stopped singing a couple of chapters ago.)

Ezelo: „Prinzessin. Es freut mich, dass es Euch wieder gut geht." DT: „Princess. It pleases me, that it you again well goes." EQ: "Princess. It pleases me that you are well again." OE: "Princess Zelda, I'm so happy you've come back to us safely!"

OE: "...by his immaturity. But please, will you FORGIVE him?" (NOTE: I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS WORSE. English Ezlo saying that Vaati practically embarrassed him, OR German Ezlo saying that Vaati was his greatest shame.)

Ezelo: „Ich bin für all seine Taten verantwortlich." DT: „I am for all his deeds responsible." EQ: "I am responsible for all his deeds." OE: "It is MY fault that Vaati behaved so badly." (NOTE: NUN IST ES AN DER ZEIT, FÜR MEINE TATEN ZU SÜHNEN. ...Wait. Wrong game again.)

OE: "I was frustrated. No matter what I did... ...It was never enough. You demanded more than I could do." (NOTE: First- I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!

Ezelo: „IDIOT!!" DT/EQ: „"IDIOT!!" OE: "YOU LITTLE FOOL!" (NOTE: For once, I like the English line better. Why?

EQ: "Really, strength is not evil... rather, it's about commanding a good heart. Look at Link, the one who defeated you!!"

Vaati: „Ja, Meister." DT/EQ: „"Yes, Master." OE: "Yes, Master." (NOTE: If you ignore the bonus chapter, mainly because that takes place in the past anyway, "Yes, Master" is Vaati's FINAL LINE OF DIALOGUE. HE GETS STUCK BACK AT WHERE HE STARTED. Is this truly better than a thousand years in a sword...?)

Ezelo: „Das Tor öffnet sich nur alle 100 Jahre... ...und es schließt sich bald." DT: „The Gate opens itself only every 100 years... ...and it closes itself soon." EQ: "The Gate only opens every 100 years... ...and it's closing soon." OE: "The Door will soon close... ...for another hundred years."
