===Era Without a Hero===
===Era Without a Hero===
The Hylian writing system from the [[Adult Timeline|Era Without a Hero]] was introduced in {{TWW}},<ref name="HH 123">{{Cite Book|quote= |book= HH |publisher= |page= 123}}</ref> later appearing in {{FSA}}, {{TMC}}, {{PH}}, and {{ST}}, and briefly in {{TP}}. It is a syllabary based on Japanese kana and Hindu-Arabic numerals. It supports ''{{Wp|Chōonpu}}'', ''{{Wp|Dakuten}}'', and ''{{Wp|Handakuten}}'', but typically lacks ''sutegana'', therefore using full size characters for ''{{Wp|Yōon}}'' and ''{{Wp|Sokuon}}''. For example, the Japanese {{Romanize|きゃ|Kya}} and {{Romanize|きや|Kiya}} are not differentiated in this writing system, except for a few rare occasions.<ref>{{Cite|{{H|TWW|ハイラル ジョウカミチ}}|Stamp|ST}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|{{H|TWW|ケンショウ}}|Prize Postcard|ST}}</ref>

Hylian is the main language used in Hyrule.[1] Throughout the Timeline, many forms and iterations of both written and spoken Hylian have appeared, sometimes being interwoven and revived across whole eras. There are presently six forms of Hylian confirmed to be used by the residents of the Kingdom of Hyrule, and many more languages used by other species as well.

Overview



Mudoran

Main article: Mudoran

Mudoran is the iteration of Hylian text that appears in A Link to the Past.[2] Unlike later Hylian scripts, Mudoran is unintelligible. It is found on various important rocks and pedestals.

Era of the Hero of Time

The Hylian writing system from the Era of the Hero of Time was introduced in Ocarina of Time and later appears in Majora's Mask. It is a syllabary based on Japanese Kana, merging both Hiragana and Katakana. However, unlike these scripts, this syllabary lacks sutegana and uses full sized characters for Yōon and Sokuon. It also lacks punctuation marks, such as Chōonpu, as well as distinction for diacritical letters via Dakuten and Handakuten, limiting the full dexterity of the syllabary when emulating Japanese text.

This syllabary appears all throughout Hyrule and Termina on signs and architecture.

Era Without a Hero

The Hylian writing system from the Era Without a Hero was introduced in The Wind Waker,[3] later appearing in Four Swords Adventures, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks, and briefly in Twilight Princess. It is a syllabary based on Japanese Kana and Hindu-Arabic numerals. It supports Chōonpu, Dakuten, and Handakuten, but typically lacks sutegana, therefore using full size characters for Yōon and Sokuon. For example, the Japanese きゃ (Kya) and きや (Kiya) are not differentiated in this writing system, except for a few rare occasions.[4][5][6][7]

This syllabary is used as early as the Force Era, persisting throughout the Adult Timeline until the Era of Hyrule's Rebirth.[8]

In The Wind Waker, the syllabary appears as an archaic dialect dating back to the Era without a Hero. By the time of the Era of the Great Sea, it had became almost obsolete; its remaining speakers being ancient beings such as the Great Deku Tree, Valoo, Jabun, and the King of Red Lions, as well as the Rito appointed to the role of Valoo's attendant, who learned it to communicate with him.[9] Despite the dialect not widely spoken in the Era of the Great Sea, its syllabary is commonly used throughout the Great Sea and the World of the Ocean King by their inhabitants, and is later carried over into New Hyrule. It makes a small appearance in Twilight Princess on tombstones in Kakariko Graveyard.

Twilight Era

The Hylian writing system from the Twilight Era is a cipher based on the Latin alphabet used in English,[8] but with no letter casing. It appears predominately in Twilight Princess on signs and maps throughout Hyrule, albeit with a few lexical errors commonly surrounding Japanese transliteration of English, causing L and R to be used interchangeably. The non-canonical version of the alphabet found in the Wii version of Twilight Princess features its letters flipped horizontally.

In Skyward Sword, the alphabet is found on the box art as well as on walls in the Sealed Temple and Sky Keep.

Sky Era

The Sky Era alphabet appears exclusively in Skyward Sword.[8] It is a cipher mostly matching the Latin alphabet, with a few duplicate letters. D is identical to W, E is identical to K, G is identical to Q, I is identical to X, O is identical to Z and P is identical to T, which complicates translations.[10]

A Link Between Worlds

The Hylian writing system that appears in A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is a modified form of the Sky Era alphabet. Both alphabets share some symbols while others are very similar.[8] Several letters in this alphabet map to the same Hylian characters, namely D and G, E and W, F and R, J and T, and O and Z.

Writing appearing in Lorule uses an inverted, but otherwise identical alphabet.

Tears of the Kingdom

Tears of the Kingdom continues to use the same script from Breath of the Wild, but also features Ancient Hyrulean from the era of Hyrule's founding which cannot be read by Link. If Link takes a Picture of Ancient Hyrulean text on an Ancient Tablet and brings it to Wortsworth in Kakariko Village, he will read and summarize the text for Link. Ancient Hyrulean is written in Middle English, rather than modern English.

Other Scripts

Link's Awakening DX

While the Hylian language does not appear in any form, one of the pictures in the DX version contains posters in plain English and Japanese. As Koholint Island is separate from Hyrule, this should not indicate an evolution of the Hylian language, though it has been derived from real life Japanese and English later on.

Other Appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

In the Temple stage from Super Smash Bros. Melee, Hylian from the Era Without a Hero appears on certain platforms. When translated, it reads "Smash Brothers".

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Temple stage also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where the text reading "Smash Brothers" also appears.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

The Temple stage reappears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where it contains the same "Smash Brothers" text.

Mario Kart 8

In Hyrule Circuit, a sign with Beedle's face appears with Hylian from A Link Between Worlds written on it. When translated, it reads "Item Shop".

Animal Crossing: New Leaf



Hylian from the Era Without a Hero appears on Lon Lon Milk bottles. Additionally, a mural from the opening of The Wind Waker featuring Hylian from the Era Without a Hero appears as a piece of furniture.
