Aboda Village origins

I think that Aboda Village was where Tetra, Link and the Pirate Crew first stepped onto New Hyrule, but don't worry I have somethings to back it up:

1. It's on the coastline
2.a-boat-a
3. Niko lives here
4. Gonzo's grandson Alfonzo lives here
5. Niko's house has a mast on it, which is the only recognizable feature of the town
6.Castle Town is the capital, Whittleton is for lumber, etc. but Aboda Village doesn't have a purpose, they don't fish, they don't do anything actually, there's just a couple houses and old Niko who tells stories and legends. So what else would the purpose of having a village be?

It's kind of sketchy (okay REALLY sketchy) but whatever

In the European version it's called Outset Village, so assuming that Link and Tetra named it, it makes sense that it was the first place they visited.

Sketchy? Nah, it seems pretty plausible to me; though I haven't gotten to play the game yet.

You mean like Outset Island from WW? Wow, Link sure is creative...

Niko "Land-ho!"

Tetra "Oh boy a new land!"

Niko "What shall we call it?"

Tetra "It's got to be really unique, how about HYRULE!"

Niko "Okay..."

Tetra "And the castle can be HYRULE CASTLE and the capital can be CASTLE TOWN, I bet they never did that before! This is about new beginings after all"

Link *blank stare*

Tetra "Oh I'm sorry Link, I'm hogging all the fun, do you want to name something?"

Link *blank stare*

Tetra "How about we name one of the villages Outset after your home?"

Link "Waaaaaaaa!"

Tetra "And I can name my children ZELDA (even though I hate the name) and her daughter can be zelda, and after that her daughter can be named zelda too and we'll have a forest temple and a fire temple and a..."

Link "WA-TA-TA-TA!"

Tetra "How about a LOST WOODS, I've never heard of a woods named that before, isn't Hyrule going to be an awesome new start for the world?"

Link

^ I'lold, that is probably how it went!!z!!!

In the latinamerican version it is called "Aldea Nostra" that means "Our village"
We need to know what is the japanese name of the village.

Given that the capital is in the Forest Realm and this is the only coast near it, I'm thinking yeah.

How come it's differant in every region? I'm pretty sure "Aboda" doesn't mean anything, so why change it? (Though Aldea Nostra does a lot cooler then Aboda )

"Aboda" sounds similar to "abode", which, I believe, means "home". Makes sense being that Link's home is there.

It's just like how "outset" literally means "the beginning".

Do you think anyone who's good at Hylian and Japanese could translate the words on the Aboda Village stamp in Niko's stamp book? It probably is the Japanese word for the village. Or we can just wait for the Japanese release

"Aboda" isn't supposed to be Hylian is it? Its just "abode" with an 'a' instead of the silent 'e'. Like Beemnorv says, it just means "home."

I think its most likely that this is the place Tetra and the crew first landed, and even lived for a while. I do wonder though, how Niko lived so long past all the other crew members... lol. And I wanna know where Link went!! The only time he was even mentioned in the whole game was by Niko as "an old friend"... and after all he did... lol

I believe Aboda is called 'Moyori' in the Japanese version, at least according to Famitsu.

I know "aboda" isn't hylian, there is no such language as hylian. Hylian is just Japanese (or english in TP) with differant symbols. The thing with the in-game hylian, they usually have the Japanese name, just like in WW they have the japanese name for Windfall Island, even in the TP map it labels ordon as it's japanese name. And I know it isn't gibberish like in MM and Alttp because I noticed the same word shows up on the Castle Town stamp and the ancient gold pieces, I looked it up and it kind looks like it might be "hyrule" though I don't know what hyrule is called on the other side of the pacific so who knows?

Hyrule over there is "Hairaru"

I didn't think there were "Hylian" words, but I was just making sure I didn't miss something, lol.

I laughed a little. If I remember correctly, there's a reason why every princess is named Zelda. Or at least, according to the Zelda II instruction manual...

Translation of Moyori = "nearest / neighbouring / nearby"

I believe Aboda village is probably near the spot where Tetra and her crew first landed in New Hyrule. All the different names for the village seem to point to this interpretation - "Aboda" (home), "Outset" (beginning), "Aldea Nostra" (our village)....

Not to get off topic, but I wonder if ST Link's growing up there has any significance in terms of who his ancestor was, assuming that it really is where WW Link and Tetra first landed. Maybe ST Link was put there with Niko for a purpose? I don't know.
