I Have No Mouth's trivia page lists the Unwinnable status as an Urban Legend Of Zelda. Someone got the best ending and posted proof last year, so it isn't Unwinnable after all.

They are so different from the source material that I doubt "dub" even applies to them

* ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' is [[AdaptationDisplacement displaced]] in ex-USSR territories by an unlicensed translation called ''[[Literature/TalesOfTheMagicLand The Wizard of the Emerald City]]'', which was successful enough to spawn five sequels diverging from L. Frank Baum's original series. It gives all the characters {{Dub Name Change}}s and cuts, replaces, or adds some scenes or character aspects. For example, the apple-throwing trees are replaced with the characters crossing a river by raft during a storm, and Dorothy (Ellie in this translation) is not an orphan.
* The same thing had happened to ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'', which were replaced with a retelling named ''Literature/TheGoldenKeyOrTheAdventuresOfBuratino''. It removes most on the moral lessons, and replaces the rest with a StealthParody of the attitudes of the Soviet theatre and poetry at the time it was written.

Fans tend to really dislike this, referring to such translations as "{{Macekre}}s". The worst of the worst will basically have the entire original script discarded and replaced with an entirely new one. Most of them aren't that bad, but they will frequently {{Bowdlerize}} the original, create [[DubInducedPlotHole additional plot holes]], or otherwise just cause AdaptationDecay. This is a major plank in the SubbingVersusDubbing debate.

* ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'': While blatantly obvious to the player, WordOfGod states that most people in-universe aren't aware that Marina is an Octoling, as the vast majority of Inklings in the region the game takes place in haven't had contact with their sister species for several decades. The North American localization team didn't get the memo that Marina's best friend Pearl was part of that "most", leading to her regularly making octopus-related jokes during the news broadcasts the duo hosts. When it came time for the ''Octo Expansion'' DLC campaign, where the InternalReveal finally happened, the localization team attempted to cover their tracks by having Pearl state that said jokes were the result of her always being suspicious of Marina being "different" but not wanting to directly confront her about it, and focused most of her surprise on her friend being ex-military.

* Famously, the American dub of ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'' has Godzilla destroy a Russian nuclear sub, and an dying officer launches a warhead at Japan for revenge: in the Japanese original, the launch is a complete accident, and the officer dies trying to ''stop'' it. This was a decision by an American producer who didn't want a positive depiction of the (then) Soviet Union.
