...Why did they fucking change this in translation? I'm sure this is cOLD but wtf I read all the changes and the Japanese version is so much better, like pathetically so. It's brimmed with personality.

Not only does Link not speak, he also cant form coherent thoughts to write down in a journal.

Probably to keep the status quo of Link being a blank slate.

The descriptions in the Adventure Log of BotW's Japanese version had Link's actual thoughts and opinions, so they actually showcased his personality.

The English version did away with that and gave them generic descriptions.

Link is kind of a dick in the US version of BotW, at least the dialogue responses you can choose are pretty dickish.

Yeah, it's kinda interesting. The Adventure Log acts as Link's diary and has a bunch of flavor to it. We also actually get to see that Link does have a thing for Zelda. A few references to Link looking forward to meeting Zelda again and hoping that she remembers the time they spent together.

Which...kinda sucks for Mipha, not gonna lie.

As I recall, there was something similar that happened in the original Kingdom Hearts. There were apparently some small notes scattered in the journal in the JP version, but were removed in the localization.

After looking it up, it was either just on KH2, or it was in 1 and 2, and I just cant find anything about 1.

There's something else that sucks a lot more for mipha so I figured she should be happy that maybe Link can move on

Well, yeah she's dead, but it seems like Link always liked Zelda more than Mipha, lol.

Doesn't jiminy's journal read like it was written by jiminy himself? Is that what you meant or something extra?
