Comment Game Script (Score 1) 54
To answer the question on everybody's mind, it took me, on average, between an hour or two a day. But I did not simply supplement that with my internet time. Instead of scouting slashdot or checking out zany youtube videos or keeping up my facebook or myspace, none of which I actually do, I worked on the script. Yes, I do have time for college and sports and 24 and Boston Legal and, believe it or not, other people. No, I am not a mouth breather who has memorized Pi to the 300th digit and gets his kicks out of, blindfolded, being able to tell the difference between a Celeron and a Pentium by licking them. I do not do Rubix cubes in my sleep. I devoted some time so other Zelda fans could finally be able to read the game's dialogue at their leisure. And the response has been decent. I'm getting a lot of sites that want to host the file. So it isn't all bad. But man, everybody wants someone to write the guide, but then that person gets put under the meat grinder when they do it.
Also, there is no dialogue rip from the game that I am aware of. Perhaps I am wrong, but even if there was, it would be an absolute nightmare trying to organize it all. Think nearly 500k worth of dialogue all jumbled up in a completely random order, and for every line I come to in the game, I'd have to find it in the word file and place it in its proper order. Just for my sanity I'd rather do it the way I did it. It also gave me the chance to play the game again and enjoy it. By the end, it was probably about a 50 hour file, which is how long it took me to beat the game the first time.
