Post Writing in the Ocarina of time

Hey the writing on all the signs in the game do you think that is based on real ancient writing? They should make a translator that shows which letter each symbol stands for. That would be neat.

Re: Writing in the Ocarina of time

Dont they transelate any important stuff in the game anyways? but, it would be cool if it was a real language.... then we could use it, and confuse people

Re: Writing in the Ocarina of time

Hylian translates directly to Japanese, but not English. I don't know much else on it, though. You could likely find a translation somewhere...GameFAQs or Zelda Legends, perhaps.

Check that page out. It tells you the translations/sound for Hylian lettering. However, it is true that Hylian translates to Japanese... so you won't find any Enlish meaning in whatever you translate, probably.

Re: Writing in the Ocarina of time

The sign in Karkarico Graveyard translates to Karkarico Rain from Hylian to Japanese and then to english.
