Does anyone know the Japanese attack names in Zelda series?
Greetings, ZU Forums. I'm looing for someone who knows the original Japanese names of Link's sword techniques throughout the series.
Now i'm certain that there's someone here who speaks and/or reads japanese - often people translate the Hiragana and Katakana letters from Japanese copies of games to write FAQS before the American and European releases. Is there anyone here who can help me? The only one i actually know so far is Kaiten Giri, which as far as i know, literally translates into Whirling Blade, which was the original name for the Spin Attack technique when it appeared in A Link To The Past I suppose The Minish Cap would be useful for this purpose since there were a series of Tiger Scrolls that named Link's sword techniques. The names i'm looking for are: Hurricane Spin/Great Spin Attack* Dash Attack* Down Thrust* Sword Beam* Peril Beam Roll Attack Rock Breaker The techniques asterisked are the ones i want the most, as they have become staples of Link's fighting style over the years. If anyone knows the names of the various Magic Spells too, i'd be very grateful, especially for the following: Din's Fire, Nayru's Love, Farore's Wind (Ocarina of Time) Bombos, Ether, Quake (A Link To The Past) If anyone's curious as to why i want this info... well, i'm an anime enthusiast who finds that the original Japanese dialogue with subtitles is much more enjoyable than the sometimes abominable english dubs. A prime example of this would be Naruto - the dub is nothing compared to the original, and fails to capture the mood or the humour. Anyway, if anyone can help, i'd be very grateful.

I have some translation comparisons at my site: http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=text
It could be a pain looking through them, but you might get some of the answers you want. Sadly, there isn't one for the Minish Cap.

Probably won't be getting anything anytime soon. As far as I know, neither I nor anybody on my staff has access to scans of any of the missing stuff.
And Anastasia, the one who did the translation for the LA stuff, is no longer an active member of the Zelda community. Hopefully we'll get this stuff someday, but I don't expect it anytime soon.
