Japanese Translation Update: FSA Ganondorf is not an "ancient demon reborn".

Resident translator Jumbie recently translated some important lines in FSA: the inscription within the Great Pyramid and the game's ending. What he has discovered shows that FSA does not refer to the rebirth or resurrection of an ancient demon.

First, here's a link to the Pyramid translation:

And this is the translation of the line "Evil spirit of magic trident.":

Quote:
Born from darkness, the demon's evil device, the trident.
Now here's the link to the translation of FSA's ending:

And here's the translation of the line "King of Darkness, wielder of the trident, ancient demon reborn.:

Quote:
King of Darkness… The man who took the Trident, the evil device (ja-ki) of the demon resurrected from ancient times!!

As you can see, neither quotes actively refer to the ancient demon playing a part in FSA's story, but they refer to the Trident as the demon's evil device, thus creating a back story for the Trident. Ganondorf is only the King of Darkness because he took the Trident, not because he was reincarnted.
