Hylian Language Translations/Twilight Princess HD

From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD uses a form of Hylian text that is a cipher based on the Latin alphabet. It translates directly to English in most cases, and occasionally to Japanese. The form of Hylian text introduced in The Wind Waker also makes an appearance in the Kakariko Village Graveyard.

Most instances of Hylian text from the original release of Twilight Princess are carried over to Twilight Princess HD. The following text is newly-added or changed.
