Episode 1266: The Eternal Meeting

Translator Notes:

I couldn’t read what Tweyen, Eahta, or Tien had written on the cloak, so I had to improvise and make something up for them.  In the case of Tweyen, I’m pretty sure that her text was literally just scribbles; in the case of Tien, it was way too tiny and scrunched up for me to make anything out; and in the case of Eahta, I absolutely cannot even slightly read cursive Japanese writing.  (Side note: of course noted old guy Eahta would write in cursive…)

Finished this in time for Zelda Day! I wanted this to be a gif, but I couldn’t keep it within Tumblr’s 3mb size limit, and compression got really shitty. So a video file is the only way I can salvage 2 weeks of work.

EDIT: Lots of people (angrily) asking why I left out TP. I like the game, but I only had time to make one Link per console (I wanted to make it by BOTW launch and before I travel for work again.) WW and SS embody their respective consoles better than TP, I felt, so that’s what I went for. 

I’d like to add MM and TP in the future! But I also want to keep the file size low… 

Dog - is “bowing” and using open mouth “bites” as forms of play

“Play fight with me!”

Cat - is giving the little paw bats they use when playing with kittens

“Cute kittens get booped!”

They are both trying to engage the other in a playful way but not understanding the others responce.

The dog is like “you smack so no play? but not hard smack and no bad noise so not angry?”

The cat is like “why you jump around? open mouth but no chomp? no hiss so is okay?”

And then they sort of settle with a kind of communal grooming gesture they both understand!

Dog: no play? okay i lay… we calm now friend!
