Title: So I noticed some words.........
Post by: HylianHero92 on September 06, 2008, 12:36:26 PM
So I was replaying Wind Waker again and I noticed some Hylian words appearing on the wall of Ganondorf's chamber in the Forsaken Fortress for about a split second during the cutscene with Link, Tetra, and Ganondorf, which can be found here:

It appears to be on a sort of map type thing at 1:53, the part where Ganondorf goes to grab Tetra. Now I've tried to make sense of these letters and failed. I've only managed to translate the first one as "Ma", as the second one is completely illegible. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

We have that here at TDC. (http://desertcolossus.com/compendium2/index.php?Translating%20Hylian-English)  But first, you might need the alphabet. (http://desertcolossus.com/compendium2/index.php?Ancient%20Hylian%20Alphabet)

Besides, HH92 isn't asking for the translation itself; he seems to be handling that pretty well.  What he needs is a clear screenshot of the words he wants to translate.  As for that, I can't help you there.

Actually I'm really bad at translating the Japanese to English; even with the translator I never get it to work ( as most of the words are fictional).

Make a friend who knows/is learning Japanese and they can help you.

I can speak some Japanese from a tutor, but I'm not all that good yet.

.......here........ let me explain how we work 'round here, KK.  You see, we encourage posting, in fact we'd be nothing without it.  However, 'round the Zelda parts, General Discussion, and generally anywhere outside of designated, "non-incremental" post zones, a post should only be posted if it brings new insight of some sort into a conversation.  You're not in trouble, but I don't think you've been told before-- so now you know.

For an in depth explanation about our rules, KingK, see our rules board (http://desertcolossus.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.0).

It might just be a map of the Great Sea, or mabye new lands he'll want to conquer. After all, the Forbidden Fortress is located on the edge of the great sea.
