Project: Love Navigation 2 (Needs Editing)
Placeholder. Last updated late on May 24, 2013: I just finished formatting this. There are a few translation questions but I believe editing could be started. The translation was pretty clear, I don't think it needs a lot of localization. A few areas could use a little phrasing cleanup.
Thought! the translation for this could certainly be done in sections. There are some very natural divides: to do it that way would certainly break up the work and make it seem less overwhelming. ~Then they could even be posted as they were finished.

Preface (I have translated this pretty freely, and left out a few minor details, since I felt that all of this babbling is not really important
)Hello, this is Kawachi Izumi. Actually this is a Zelda Doujinshi, but it's more like my second Link Doujinshi and as usual, my love for Link is continuing. Somehow I tortured Link too much in my first Doujinshi, and if it made you cry, then you really seem to like him. This time I will try to make it better! *laughs* I get this feeling like „Ah! Link is just too cute! He really makes me wanna cry! Dammit!“ I'm such an idiot. That's how I express my love. I am a person with a lolicon (lolita complex), but nevertheless if you look at Link, don't you feel like molesting him? Or is it just me? *laughs* Talking about molesting, if Link was my son, I would let him earn his money at Kabukichou or Shibuya at night. (she means in the red light district) When I said that I moved my friends, but that's how I would show my love to my Link. (Uwo...because there are adults like that, Japan has become impossible! *laughs*) Whether he seems to be molested, no matter by a girl or a boy, or does it alone, I would be happy if he became gay. I remember that when I played the game, I got so excited when I imagined that he would be so masochistic, and naive in a weird way, and that if I brought him in danger, I would surely cry. I wonder how other people feel about this. Hehe. Well, therefore, I will try to make my love for Link visible in my drawings, and if you're okay with it, please keep me company until the end of this Doujinshi.
--Kawachi Izumi

We will have a good time tonight!!
2. Gerudos: Well, we take him with us to a room!
We will have a good time tonight!!
SFX: (big one, all over the panel) a sound they make when they grab him quickly (ガバッ！)

Gerudo: With that body of yours
Gerudo: You can easily pay off your debts in half a year <3 (heart) (the round bubbles right in the middle of the page)

PANEL 2
Link: But it's kinda weird, it looks as if we were somewhere outside
Link: One would not think that we're inside a room
Link: And the fog thickens
Navi: Ah Link, there's a door across the room
(I assume the missing SFX are just the water under his feet -M)
PANEL 3
Link: Ah, indeed.
Link: I wonder if I can go out...
Navi: Let's try!

PANEL 4
Dark Link: Do you want to become an adult man? (I think just "a man" would work instead of "an adult man," since that's basically the saying -M.. Oh, wait, "adult" is referenced below, so it probably needs to stay as is)

Link: Hah!?

Dark Link: No!

PANEL 2
First bubble on the left, connected to the bubble in panel 1:Dark Link: A real adult man wouldn't say that
Link: I...
Link: is that so...
Dark Link: Well, I will teach you. These are your true feelings (I think this text could be changed slightly. Like "I will teach you your true feelings", or something... -M)
PANEL 3
Dark Link: The fear that you felt when you saw Ganondorf for the first time...
Dark Link: indeed, it was because you were still so young
Link: Uh...

Dark Link: But, from that day on, you did nothing but sleep for 7 years
Dark Link: Apart from your body, nothing has changed from that time (OMG, DARK LINK SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A PEDO!)

★ Talk section.
★ When I did the last Zelda doujinshi, I didn't let myself go, but I felt that I hadn't raged myself out enough. (All my friends told me „This isn't an erotic comic, is it?“, even though this kind of love could be found everywhere in the comic.) This time it was a little hard to pull the brake effectively. *laughs*
★ Besides, I wrote it in the preface but my love towards Link seems to have become eccentric. This kid is so cute, I thought, but then I tortured him anyway. My friends insulted me for this sado guy, but he didn't evoke a real impression.
★ I have plunged into Ocarina of Time 6 times lately (have I played too much?) and now with only 3 hearts left, I have put Link into a real challenge. (this will be tough for sure) That I still discover new things in this game is pretty awesome.
★ Last time when I was in the garden of the castle and used the slingshot to aim at the window, one of the guards threw a bomb at me. All in all, this game was created in a cute way, but then sometimes something so brutal happens when you didn't expect it.
★ Ah yes, my new doujinshi.
★ I didn't really feel this way before, but when I look at the doujinshi again, I realize that I have put the Gerudo into a mother role.
★ I haven't really thought about Nabooru's character that deeply, but somehow I think I sided with her.
★ The original conversation between Ganondorf and Nabooru in the section called „still for your love“ was a lot longer, but I left some of it out due to reasons of time and space of the page. I thought that it might leave an impression of incompletion, but that this is my sense of concept. *laughs* Please bear with me.
★ The fighting scene between Link and Ganondorf in the game is the best. (Translator's note: Sorry, I left out the rest of the sentence because the kanji in this file sometimes are a little hard to read)
★ If I compare it to other Legend of Zelda games, it shows a higher dimension of perfection, and is completed without taking advantage of them.
★ This time, the concept is „A pig that can't fly, is only an average pig.“ *laughs* In short: The lifestyle of men. Of course I am a girl but I really talk extremely irresponsibly. *laughs*
★ In terms of content, I was thinking about drawing the relation ? (the question mark is in the original text as well) between Link and Ganondorf during their last fight.
★ In the game, those two stand for the support of the good and the punishment of the evil. Ganondorf is a bad person, while Link is the righteous friend. I don't completely reject this but I started thinking that Ganondorf is not just simply the bad guy because he is purely evil.
No, on the contrary, in my imagination he is only a simple man who has a strong will for conquest and a lot of power.
★ But of course he has the charisma of a leader.
★ Link too. However, if Ganondorf didn't exist, he wouldn't be a great man, right? *laughs*
★ In short, when you compare Link and Ganondorf, you can see that those two men are complete opposites.
★ At last, aren't those two somehow similar, and don't they belong together? (Translator's note: I think she doesn't mean it in any erotic sense, only that Link couldn't exist without Ganondorf since he is his antagonist, and vice versa)
★ As for me, I somehow seemed to haven given them an extreme sense of morality/mind. (T.N.: phew...there are so many meanings for this word, not sure which one to pick
)★ Furthermore, I decided that I would try to draw a woman for each of them, a woman that would be at their side. I tried to draw Nabooru as someone who hates Ganondorf, just like in the game, but as for me, I thought that Nabooru is rather a person who doesn't give up on him.
★ I was thinking about the ending and the conversation, and wondered whether I should let Link go back to his own time, but I thought it would be impossible to display this in my drawings.
★ In my ending, he will be on his own. Even if there was desperation, he would not give up, and this is how I chose to end this. It is my right to choose the ending I want for myself. They say that someday people have to eventually travel on their own and that's what I mean when I talk about being „alone“. This is brave.
★ Well, Link was destined to be in complete isolation from the beginning, and he is a person who was forced into being „alone“ in the world he was born into. Therefore he does travel and, to the contrary, I wonder if he knows that he will not really end up alone.
★ Ah, but it's really a good game. Even though I am actually too old for it, I was blown away by it. *laughs*
★ In the original plot, I didn't want to include only Ganondorf and Nabooru, but also Malon and Link, but seriously, if I had really drawn this, I would have burdened myself with too many pages *laughs* That's what I thought, and so I stopped. Especially Malon's talk would have been too long so I left it out completely.
★ I have come to really like Malon. Malon and Link seem to be able to have a normal love relationship. Those two are so cute. *laughs*
★ Furthermore, I like the song called „Save the earth“.
★ If it's about Malon, it is the sound force of Hyrule. Macros 7. My love for Mylene. *laughs* (T.N.: Macros 7 is a japanese anime and Mylene Flare Jenius is one of the characters)
★ Until now I have written all of this stuff about Ganondorf, but to be honest, personally I dislike him. Physiologically. *laughs*
★ Next is someone I really enjoyed drawing: Dark Link. Usually I would describe Link as a rather lethargic person (yes, I know, I'm the worst *laughs*), but this time he became a person who makes cutting remarks. *laughs* I really wanted to draw a cool Link since the time of my first Zelda doujinshi.
★ Finally he too is only a man who has certain needs.
★ I have decided to create erotic pages of Dark Link x Link, but my sanity stopped me from doing so. All in all, I am an adult. *laughs*
★ I apologize to Nintendo. But this is my life mission so please bear with me.
★ I bought 2 Ninroku and I talked 3 of my friends into buying Ninroku and The Legend of Zelda *laughs*
★ Later I felt that it would be good if people who are reading this book and have never played the game should be able to play it. *laughs*
(T.N.: Next comes the suggestion to write a letter or a mail to the publisher for those who are interested in the doujinshi, she gives the addy and explains that the homepage isn't up yet. I thought it was rather uninteresting so I left it out.)
See you.

INFORMATION
(upper right box) I am currently working at the „Special Antlers“ Kawachi Izumi Circle, „The Legend of Zelda“ department, released by Ninroku press. I also participate in the event „Ariake“, which is a big event in Osaka. If I'm not discovered at „Special Antlers“, I will participate in a KOF (King of Fighters) circle called „Koumeitou“, so therefore please check there.
(upper left box) Furthermore, this Doujinishi can be bought in every Animate store in Japan, so for all the people, that can't come to the event, or for those, who live too far away, please use this possibility. Also, it will take up to 1 or 2 weeks for the goods to arrive in the stores, so please bear with it.
(lower left box) The circle paper will also be released, so for the people who are interested in it, or the ones using mail order, please send a letter with an envelope with your address on it to the imprint company. The „Special Antlers“ will not take care of it, but the „Koumeitou“ will. (It will also receive the information from the Zelda side.)
The next delivery will probably arrive in winter, so please look forward to it.
(lower right box, handwritten) The Italian city of Bergamo serves as background for this picture. It looks like a great place, from a land that's far away. It reminds me of Hyrule's Castle Town.

Post Script
Now, how should I end this now? If I take a look at it from the beginning, there is so much talk of Link crying again. THAT'S ENOUGH NOW! (he looks like a beaten dog...) I wondered why things that one starts, are only dragging along at some point, but I think I overworked myself, and it shows in the pictures. I have liked the fantasy genre from the beginning, and even though I have been drawing in this style a lot, I suddenly didn't know anymore how I should get this done. I figured I should, by all means, work my ass off (some people comforted me by saying „we will hire you!“), and if I have similar thoughts again, I should let them know. If I compare this work with the former one, I have to say that this time the content is even more maniac, and if no one had said anything to me, I am sure it would have become even more awful. *laughs* If there are still people who haven't played Zelda, please do it quickly! Now, what will become of the N64? They don't seem to release a sequel that quickly. Well, a hastily created boring game would be bad, so they should really take their time, but hurry up nevertheless. Nintendo's smash brothers seems to be some kind of a makeweight. Anyway, the good thing is that, because they used Link, I can use my imagination to its best, be mean, and enjoy this! (I'm the worst) Therefore I will end this talk here and now. I want to thank everyone for their help. So, see you again!
