Link history-Club Nintendo poster timeline Suprise!

Ok, i just got my Zelda posters from Club Nintendo. I noticed that the the borders are covered in Hylian text (Twilight Link Era) and so i began to translate.......so far i have only translated the top of the poster, and i would really appreciate it if someone could translate the sides and the bottom (i already posted mine up, so i cant read the bottom). Anyway, this is what it says so far:

Noticed anything? It says a Ganon not, "ganon", it seems to imply that Ganon is just the name given to evil warlocks........ i dont understand why the "a" is there, or why they defined "Ganon". If this is not just some poster translation error (By nintendo), then this means that there can be infinite number of "Ganons!"

Is the poster even officially made by Nintendo?

Notice the similarities? My guess is that the rest of the poster will just give you a summarization of all the other games' manuals.

Maybe, i need to read the entire translation before i can come to that conclusion

wait why can't you translate the other's on your own? does it take long??

Each Hylian character represents a letter in the English alphabet. The letters form words that are basically pronounciations of Japanese words. These Japanese words then need to be translated to English for us to read.

TP Hylian isn't English letters forming Japanese words, it's completely in English. Just like OoT/MM/TWW Hylian is completely in Japanese.

Oh. No one told me the poster was in TP Hylian.

Was I correct in defining the OoT/MM/WW Hylian?

Yes.

Somehow I just don't think this theory will wiork. It seems to be the LoZ BS. Tell me once you've gotten it finished.

If someone can get me some photos of the hylian writting on the poster I'll translate it.

Ok, i finished translating...... and it is very similar (or the same with a few tweeks) to the LoZ BS, here's thefull translaton:

One day a Ganon-a powerful warlock bent on reignning over a dynasty of fear darkness attacked the kingdom and siezed the triforce of power. Fearing his rules the princess of hyrule, zelda, split the triforce of wizdom into eight fragments and scattered them throughout the realm to keep them out of Ganon's reach. The princess was imprissoned by Ganon. A young Lad, his name was link, stumbled across this crisis while travelling the area. He was told what happened and vowed to save Zelda and to defeat Ganon. Link's new adventure has just begun.

Yup, it seems it is LoZ's BS.

Nice find, but in the end not very helpfull. I was amused by the few engrish hickups though. XD

...One day a Ganon-a powerful warlock...

...Fearing his rules...

Seeing as there is more than one quantitative error, the amount of "Ganons" suggested means next to nothing.
