These aren't much but...
In Uniracers, "triple" was frequently spelled "treble".
In Zelda: Link's Awakening, "Cemetery" was spelled "Cemetary". |

Eh... Which one are you talking about, exactly. There are lots of them there. |

Continuing with the Ghosts N Goblins stuff I mentioned some time back, if you beat level 6 with the wrong weapon, it tells you "THIS WEAPON HAS NOT EFFECT. TRY AGAIN!!! GET A (picture of Shield here)" |

How is that mistranslated? It makes sense...its stupid...but it makes sense.
Erm..."It's contains" is the mistranslated part there. It should be "It contains". |

I don't remember exactly when in the game this happens, but in the white version of MegaMan Battle Network 3, one of those green program dudes says, "It's contains a lot of info, so it's very useful."  |

Also...in the arcade version of Silent Scope, if you die from running out of health, you get a message that says "LIFE OVER".  Maybe it's just bad grammar...or maybe it's their subtle way of telling the player to get a life. 
Actually, I think it's kinda supposed to be like that.
What can I say? It's M&L. |

Bah. The Arbok used the move "Swallow." That's the text the game gives if you haven't used Stockpile since you the battle started or since you last used Swallow or Spit Up. |

well I jost noticed something pleasent by the quote "ARBOK failed to swallow a thing!" in Pokemon Fire Red. I'd rather not attempt to interperate that one if it's all the same to you |

Meh, I believe LoZ borrows heavily from celtic mythology, and that's partway where the name comes from. |

It probably translated that way, and they just thought "hey, that sounds good" and left it.
If you're going to question Zelda's grammar, you should be asking why Zelda is the one it's named after when Link is the hero.  |

Because Piece of Heart is a part of gaming history. And sounds cooler than heart piece. And I believe it's mainly a translation error caused by taking Japanese grammar literally. |

Why do so many Zelda games say "Piece of Heart" when they should say "Heart Piece"? Even some of the newer ones I've played have this mistake. |

Yeah, the entire Legend of Zelda intro (On NES; they fixed it up for the GameCube Collector's Disc) is messed up. "PRINCE DARKNESS ' GANNON '" (etc. etc. etc.) GO FIND THE " 8 " UNITS " LINK " TO SAVE HER."

Erm...the code I'm referring to starts at hex offset 0E2260; it seems to be a set of driver names. (Actually, it might not be unused at all...maybe those names are for internal variables. )
Anyway...
A couple of things I've found in the original Zelda:
"All of treasures" in the info that shows up if you wait long enough at the title screen.
"Please look up the manual for details" also in that info. |

Just had to post this: The Crapton Hits the Fan
Yay Japanese!
Back on-topic, I always liked "ONES WHO DOES HAVE NOT HAVE TRIFORCE CAN'T GO IN" from the original Legend of Zelda. As well as "No. 3 Triforce" from the Adventure of Link intro. |

actualy Mutation, alot of the stuff you've shown weren't really mistranslations. Go back to bed really means to go back to sleep Though, I do find it humorous that in Pokemon the sentence "PEOPLE CALL ME THE POKEMON PROF" gets in not one but two generations of games |
