Talk:Yiga

Yiga Language
When a Yiga Footsoldier executes a downthrust, a set of nine glowing symbols appear around him before he teleports. In the Champion's Ballad DLC, Monk Maz Koshia similarly uses a set of nine glowing Sheikah letters before some attacks. These letters appear to be gibberish: going clockwise from the top it spells "RPTSKJRZZ." Note that the 1st and 7th as well as the 8th and 9th pairs of letters are identical. The interesting thing is that Yiga use the exact same pattern of symbols, implying that the one alphabet is based on the other. It also means we have English translations for seven unique Yiga letters. Right now this information only qualifies as trivia but if anyone knows if Yiga symbols are used elsewhere in the game, this might be expandable. - Nerdyarchimedes (talk) 23:29, 24 December 2017 (UTC)


 * We cannot know for sure that the Yiga's attack animation symbols represent the same English letters as Maz Koshia's animation. We also cannot guarantee that the developers created any official meaning behind any of the Yiga's symbols. Instead of trivia, it can be briefly mentioned on the Yiga Footsoldier's page when this attack is described. As for Maz Koshia's attack, I think the translation of the gibberish Sheikah letters is valid trivia. Very nice observation though. Hylian pi (talk) 00:33, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
