Pancake Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 You know that infamous screen from NES Zelda where is says that line? Well is that real dialogue from the game or did someone just photoshop it? Cos i've never played it and i'm wondering why the hell Link would be mentioning "errors" in the first place.
Coolness Bears Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 It is real dialogue from the game. It's from Zelda II the old guy says it. It was because of bad translation in the NES times that it came out wrong. Here is an nice picture:
Tellyn Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 It is real, I own the game, have gotten to that point (relatively near the start) and he does indeed say: "I AM ERROR".
Guest Jordan Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Rumor has it, his name is actually "Errol" but it was a bad translation.
Guest Stefkov Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Ha, awesomeness. You learn something new everyday.
Tyson Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I always wondered why he was there. Turns out he's story signifant. "Go find error".
i_speel_good Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 It is real dialogue from the game. It's from Zelda II the old guy says it. It was because of bad translation in the NES times that it came out wrong. Here is an nice picture: All your base are belong to us : peace:
Patch Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 I've heard of that line and always assumed it was a bug in the game. As if the code went something like this: if (PlayerEntersHouse == true AND CompletedDungeons < 2) { Print 'Hello, My name is Bob' } else { /* This should never happen. Output error message */ Print 'I Am Error' }
nintendo_guy Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Yes, it is real, and that's a famous line not only in Zelda history, but gaming history as well. For some reason, the things NPC's say in that game are hilarious, probably because the dialogue has all capital letters (i.e. "I AM ERROR." and "DODONGO DISLIKES SMOKE." and "BUY SOMETHIN', WILL YA?"). That last line I think refers to a northern American stereotypical accent.
Cube Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Another thing about Zelda 2: Link follows women into their houses, closes the door (so player doesn't see) and gains health. I wonder what they're doing.
Hellfire Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Let's not forget I FEEL ASLEEP. Metal Gear for the win. Asides Zero Wing there are lots of mistranslations like that. "A winner is you!", "Yo gangsta, get ready to gang bang!", "No! Don't come!" (not exactly a bad translation, but CMON!), "Let's Blocking!" and "Spoony Bard".
Ashley Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Let's not forget I FEEL ASLEEP. Urgh I can't see that without thinking of Rachel Aniston shouting it with a weird high pitched lisp thing going on.

Prof Whatsaburger Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Oh, how I loved Error. That guy's just plain awesome.
