Hylian Language Translations/Majora's Mask
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Majora's Mask shares the same Hylian alphabet as Ocarina of Time, which is based on Japanese. Most of the text in Majora's Mask appears to be nonsensical random symbols, with many of the shop signs being mirror images of the symbols. It’s unclear if it’s intentional or not. Those that are not mirror-imaged are either random sequences of symbols that do not translate into anything, or graphic elements; e.g. the square signs and the Romani Ranch sign, being borrowed directly from Ocarina of Time without any change.
