Nintendo finally fixed a typo on the original 'Zelda' after 30 years
It took them 29 and a half years, several consoles and two revisions but finally Nintendo has fixed a typo on The Legend of Zelda.
SEE ALSO:Here's a super nerdy analysis of the music in 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild'The letter "N" sneaked into the English translation of the fantasy video game in 1987, when the hint man in Level 1 talks about an "eastmost penninsula".
As pointed out by Clyde Mandellin, author of the book Legends of Localization Book 1: The Legend of Zelda, a few months ago Nintendo corrected the mistake after the release of miniature versions of the Famicom and NES Classic Edition.

"Penninsula" wasn't fixed even when Nintendo re-released Zeldain a collection for the Game Cube, and was a constant feature for the Wii, 3DS, Wii U Virtual Console.
Naturally, Zelda fans young and old weighed into the controversy with mixed views:

Oh, and if you wonder what it actually says in Japanese, the literal translation is: “You can’t use arrows if you run out of money.”
Which totally makes sense considering that you get the bow in the very same dungeon.
Nobody knows why the "eastmost penninsula" snuck in.
