Re: Feature: How Amateur Scholars Are Translating Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Secret Language

Are Wortsworth's readings middle English? I thought they were more like early modern English, like Chaucer (kind of a transition between middle and modern).

It was a lot like what I remember of reading Chaucer, where you can get most of it if you read phonetically, and then figure out the more archaic vocabulary from context.

Admittedly, when playing I skipped over most of that because it's a skill that I'm not accustomed to using when playing a video game. Maybe I should try again.

I think the biggest reason for Chris Pratt getting such a deafening "meh" is that he doesn't have the Fun Personified characterization that we're accustomed to having (at least from what we've seen so far). If anything, he comes off as the Straight Man /Fish Out of Water archetype.
