1. Thats depends. Japanese is a tricky language to translate from.Howe, what your doing wrong is putting value in the fact that they removed 'first' as if that was evidence that a placement have change when it actually not. Also, you might have missed this but the German, French and other Europeans translation have been evidenced to have the 'first' quote as well.
2. Ganon is not the source of all evil. Particulary not the one in
TMC as well. ( The Moblin seen in the intro is not Ganon, just another enemy, as evidence as standing next to a octorok ).
