Ocarina of Time English Translation

Does anyone know where I can find an english translation of OoT on the internet? I have the Japanese cart, but I'm not very fluent.

edit: I was a little vague, sorry. This post is not about finding the ROM (I am very clear about that rule), but finding a text file with english translations to read as I play the Japanese cart on my N64.

Don't use our forums as a playground for requesting roms. Although, if you're just looking for the translated script, that's fine.

The only thing I know of that's really different is that in the Japanese version, Twinrova's "Double Dynamic Attack" is called, "Sexy Dynamic Attack", which makes a lot more sense when you see the boss battle. And the way some things are worded has to do with how it is localized and who writes the English text. I think a friend told me that Zelda isn't the Princess of Destiny, but the Princess chosen by the gods or something like that.

I have the Japanese cart because I went to Japan a year ago and saw a used copy for only 500 yen (a little under $5 US) and thought it a good buy seeing as I don't have the English cart. I'm using the text dump comparison now to translate, and I don't see the difference between the English or the Japanese.

Do you really need to read those to get through that game? :O It's pretty easy. Reading/translating is a waste of your time.

You could get through the game not understanding, and I've played the game before, but I just like understanding what they're saying. Plus, seeing the English and the Japanese refreshes the Japanese I learned from when I went there a year ago.
