User:Htwretched/Sandbox/Hylian Language Translations/Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess introduces a new form of Hylian text that is a cipher based on the Latin alphabet. It translates directly to English in most cases, and occasionally to Japanese. The previous form of Hylian text, introduced in The Wind Waker, also makes an appearance in the Kakariko Village Graveyard.

↑ This is the Japanese name for Elde Inn.
↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 ^3.2 This is a common translation error due to English's "L" and "R" sounds being represented by the same characters in the Japanese syllabary.
↑ This is part of the legend told in The Wind Waker's introduction.
↑ This is the Japanese name for Falbi.
↑ This is the Japanese name for the Dominion Rod.
