Talk:Ballad of the Goddess

Isn't she singing in the "forgotten sky language"? A reference to this can be found in the words of Chad from twilight princess. PianoMastR64 05:11, 16 July 2012 (EDT)


 * I'm assuming you're referring to the title "Hylian Lyrics?" Frankly, since we have the song on a sound file, I don't see the point of having that phonetics section at all. 09:02, 17 July 2012 (EDT)

I must confess. I got that information from a mere youtube video comment. But it sounded promising as it rang a bell. I regrettably trusted it without any former research. I was referring to Shad, not "Chad". Sorry about that confusion. All that aside, if one visits the shad page and looks at references 5 and 7, one will see that he refers to some kind of "sky writing". It is unclear though if it is ancient or modern. I would be glad to answer that question if I find the time. If I find out that the "sky writing" is in fact ancient, then maybe my question will have some merit. I also notice that obviously not all dialogue from this character is included in the page as indicated by the first reference. Is this supposed to be? If so, where can all dialogue be found? I am of course assuming that all dialogue references are written in order as such organization seems intuitive.

TO: Hylian King – I do disagree that the section be deleted altogether, but I do have a concern about the phonetics. How do we know that they are 100% right? This part does deserve a reference or two. Audio files aren't exactly sufficient in determining the exact phonetics of the song. She is probably actually verbally singing in Japanese and if these words can be determined, the phonetics will be much easier to discern. Also, what's the point of having the section if only a select few, educated in the interpretation of all the fancy symbols, can actually read it? An official, yet easily read by anyone, phonetic transcription should be included with the formal, more descriptive one. PianoMastR64 03:27, 21 July 2012 (EDT)
