Okay, there seems to be an issue regarding the translation of the original Japanese (白雪姫の伝説, ''Shirayuki-hime no Densetsu'') which accurately translate to "Princess Snow White's Legend" due to the Japanese identifying Snow White's status as princess with the inclusion of the word "hime" or princess. If the Japanese were meant to be read as "The Legend of Snow White" like it's official English, then the title would likely come out as "Shirayuki no Densetsu" much like "The Legend of Zelda". Remember, Zelda is a princess too, but her moniker is not recognized in that series title. Plus, just because the studio's page and some material feature the official English title doesn't automatically make it a translation of the official Japanese, it just means that the company recognizes both the Japanese and the English titles. Especially for a series that was not an independent Japanese project. [[User:Sarujo|Sarujo]] ([[User talk:Sarujo|talk]]) 21:03, 8 August 2020 (UTC) |
