Additional support for WW>OoX>TMC ??

[KJ Contrarian]

Assistance/Opinions please......

Is anyone able to confirm/refute the attached? :

Hylian language - Zeldapedia

Hopefully the webpage link works - I ask you to focus near the bottom, under "trivia", where it states the following:

The library books in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap say "Triumph Forks", a reference to The Wind Waker, and "The Legend of Zelda: Nut of the Mysterious Tree", the Japanese title of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages

The "Triumph Forks" book connection in Minish Cap has been discussed many times here. However, I have not seen any mention here in the Forums (At least that I have noticed) of a book in the library of TMC specifically pertaining to OoX - Or in this case the Japanese titling of the two games.

Granted, this source is highly questionable. Tragically, TMC is one of the few games I currently do NOT own, so I am unable to confirm/refute this reference to the Oracles games. IMHO, if true, this would further cement the concept of the Minish Cap coming after WW and after OoX on the Adult Timeline.

Can any TMC veterans vouch for this, either up or down?

What we really need to prove this are pictures of the books, does any one have any?

If we have those we can use this and compare it against known translations to see if they match.

Hmmm, this could be a big find if it proves to be true, however im afraid we might need a japanese version of OoX since it specifically states Nut of the Mysterious Tree to be the game. If anyone has a japanese translation of OoX please let us know whats going on.

Fushigi no Ki I believe


The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons = Zeruda no Densetsu: Fushigi no Ki no Mi Daichi no Shō (Nut of the Mysterious Tree: Chapter of Earth)
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (OoA) = Zeruda no Densetsu Fushigi no Ki no Mi Jikū no Shō (Nut of the Mysterious Tree: Chapter of Time and Space)

No, i mean a translation of the game, not the name.

[TheManInTheMoon]

we only need a translation of OoX's title, that's it.

No translation of the game (aside from NoA's) exists as far as I know, and I've looked plenty.

We also could use a screenshot of the triumph forks library to check for the alleged OoX reference, sry didnt understand the first time lol.

I beat both games, OoA main story, OoS main story and linked. I dont recall any reference to triumph forks, however i dotn recall a reference to triumph forks in TMC or WW.

What are trimph forks? Forks that can eat Ganon?

There are no Triumph Forks in OoX.
In Wind Waker, the Triforce has been almost completely forgotten, and the only people who know about it [other than 'main' people like Daphnes and Ganondorf] refer to it by a distorted name: Triumph Forks

In Minish Cap, there's a book in the library called Triumph Forks.
A lot of people write it off as a cameo, but I think it was done intentionally.

Ah alright. Well thanks for backing me up about no mention of the Forks in OoX.

Obviously, the cameo was done intentionally...

By "intentionally", I meant it was done for a reason. Not just a cameo.

My apologies for the double post, but thanks to TheManInTheMoon [MercuryMule] and Dallascowboy927, we have confirmation and screen shots:
Zeldatheorizing -> The Minish Cap Library

Huge Kudos to Moon and Dallas for coming through in the clutch on these translations. It's very enlightening to see these book titles bearing fruit - As far as I am concerned this should be treated as canonical information, especially since the Oracles themselves (Or perhaps their descendants?) make an appearance during the Minish Cap story also. If we are lucky enough to see any additional book translations, it could be an added plus.
