Question for anyone who has played Link to the Past in Japanese...

In the actual Japanese script, does it mention the master sword resting "forever?" This was really bugging me last night vis-a-vis A Link Between Worlds.
Yes, this is what keeps me up at night.

Soz, blud, no idea. I've played it in French and English, and it says "forever" in both.

I'd imagine the French version is a direct translation of the English, but there was a bit more creative license between Japanese and English. If both versions use the word forever, that means anything a narrator says in a Zelda game has to be taken as embellishment, so this really is a "legend". Because it didn't stay on the rock as of LBW.
