I decided to translate the NES game Zelda to lojban. I've located all the text, but there's still some binary-level hacking I need to do (partially because of the translation that follows). I translated the opening storyline and would like comments on my translation. Keep in mind that there are space requirements, too. I was able to expant the title line 3 chars to fit that, but the story lines can't be expanded. I figured out how to get more story lines to fit the whole thing, but I'm going to have to hack it to fit all in there nicely. Anyhow, here is the translation:
