"Braving forests and mountains, Impa fled for her life from her pursuers. Upon hearing this, Ganon grew angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent out a party in search of Impa." At the same time, she commanded her most trustworthy nursemaid, Impa, to secretly escape into the land and go find a man with enough courage to destroy the evil Ganon. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda, the princess of this kingdom, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining Triforce from the clutches of the evil Ganon. This army was led by Ganon, the powerful Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the World into fear and darkness under his rule. One day, an evil army attacked this peaceful little kingdom and stole the Triforce of Power. "In the midst of this chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule, a legend was being handed down from generation to generation, the legend of the 'Triforce' golden triangles possessing mystical powers.

While I definitely cannot vouch for the translations given, and there seems to be a lot of doubt as to their accuracy from people who know way more about Japanese than I do, the basic concept seems sound.Īnyway, I will try to keep this page updated when more information comes to light. The resulting order was very similar to that achieved in the referenced research, with most letters being off by one or two positions, and only two significant outliers: W and H, which are exactly what I’d expect the outliers to be in a quick-and-dirty analysis substituting phoneme frequency for romaji frequency. I did a cursory frequency analysis using a survey of the few sample texts that appear in game, sorting the characters by frequency and comparing that to expected Japanese phoneme frequencies. Nevertheless, I needed an order to put the font in, and this seems to be as good a choice as any for the time being.įrom my perspective, romaji is a logical guess given that 14 characters is exactly the right number assuming dakuon are ignored, as is the case in the Ocarina of Time kana cipher. I know very little Japanese, so I’m not really in a position to comment one way or the other. It is based on a Kunrei-shiki romaji interpretation of the source texts (game assets, art book, promotional media) that there seems to be significant disagreement on. Here’s the download and here’s how it works: If you want that version of the font for whatever reason, you can find it here.Ī new Zelda game is upon us, and it contains a new writing system, and so it is time for me to make a font. 
Update: A previous version of this font used an arbitrary mapping instead of the proposed Kunrei-shiki romaji mapping.
