Sheikah Language Translations

< Sheikah Language

Breath of the Wild is the only title in which the Sheikah Language appears. As its name implies, the Sheikah Language appears exclusively on Sheikah architecture and technology.

The Sheikah Language is based on English, as its letters are a cipher of the Latin alphabet.

Impa's Tapestry

Whereas most Sheikah text enciphers English text, an exception to this rule is the tapestry found behind Impa, which instead enciphers a romanization of Japanese text.

The Sheikah Tribe's blue aura breathed through the land and this mutual prosperity continued until a cataclysmic disaster stuck. The Hero and the Princess attempted to seal the terror which became known as the Calamity Ganon. Divine beasts awoke from four directions and deployed a mechanical army which made the King and his people fearful. They fractured Ganon's power and sealed him but the Sheikah were banished from the land ever since.^[1]
