So I contributed to a piece for @zeldadungeon.net on how I go about translating Japanese material for them. I collaborate with Rod and other staff through him to make sure pieces are as accurate as possible.

"Through Time:" The Ocarina of Time Remake's Tagline and Zelda Dungeon's Approach to Japanese Translation - Zelda Dungeon

This article is a guest contribution by Zelda Dungeon translator Dan Tod. It was written in collaboration with Rod Lloyd. Over the past year, I’ve been providing assistance with Japanese translations for contributors on the Zelda Dungeon team. And with a new paper advertisement for the Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time recently being published, I thought it would be good to provide an insight into the translation and writing process. For context, Nintendo recently published its 2026 Summer...

Video Game Studios Aren't Monoliths

I'm just going to come right out and say it this time - treating video game studios like some kind of fantasy football draft, in the wake of mass layoffs no less, is sickening. The last three years, ...

Sometimes you're writing about Sonic and you want to find a high-quality gif of the title screen but you actually can't find one and so you build it from scratch only to realize that it's more complicated than you expected and then you're like "oh, maybe that's why nobody else did this." Whatever.

Wisdom of the Crowd: Using Data to Make Predictions About the Ocarina of Time Remake - Zelda Dungeon

In 1906, so the story goes, 800 fairgoers individually estimated the weight of an ox on display, with the closest guess winning a prize. Though submissions varied wildly, the median value — the “middle” of all the guesses — was supposedly extremely close, just 1% off. The truth of this tale is as murky as the Zelda timeline, but the fable highlights the so-called “wisdom of the crowd.” According to this theory, it is better to survey a dozen dabblers...
