One young Moroccan developer is taking the trend back in time, taking it upon himself to translate classic Nintendo games into Arabic, including Super Mario Bros. for SNES, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for Gameboy Color, and Double Dragon for NES. Most recently, Mouhssine Zaouia, a 27-year old translator and developer from Casablanca, spent three years on his latest project, 1998 classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, arguably one of the best video games of all time. Zaouia translated everything in the epic story into Arabic, including title screens, item menus, and all of the speech text. This is his 10th translated title.
