The original Legend of Zelda gets translated into Ancient Greek in fanmade ROM hack

There have been many fan translations of video games over the years, especially for those that are region locked and never leave Japan. This is especially true for games on the NES and SNES that either never left Japan nor saw localization in some regions. The Legend of Zelda was readily available upon release and in a range of languages, though shockingly, it was never localized for Ancient Greece — until now!

Thanks to a new ROM hack by user MikeGRTran5lation5, Zeus and the Titans will finally get their chance to enjoy this masterpiece. For us humans, it provides the game with a new text style that gives off a more mythical vibe that meshes quite well with the 1986 classic.
