Introduction[edit]
全知全能の力を持つ黄金がこの地方のどこかにあると伝えられていました
- Adjectives end with -き in old Japanese (美しき)
多くの人々があらそって聖地へと消えていきました
しかし 戻ってきた者はなく
また、悪しき力がそこからわきでてきたと言うことです
Many people fought over it, vanishing into the holy land.
However, no one returned.
And, evil power came surging forth from there.- へと expresses a resultant state following a previous action.
- と言うことです means the account is not firsthand.
封印は ２度と解かれる事はないはずでした
……しかし、それらのでき事が伝説となったころ…
The seal should never again have been released.
...however, when those events had become but legend...- でき事 = 出来事 (event), in case you're having trouble glossing w/ Rikaichan.
- となる is similar to になる, but has the nuance that emphasizes the apparent finality of the resultant state.
城の兵達をあやつって７賢者の血をひく娘達を、つぎつぎイケニエにささげていったのです。
- In this context, ここに means "at that time."
- In the case of とこうとたくらむ, the particle と is quoting とこう to express that Agahnim was plotting the intention to release the seal. This is similar to とこうと思う (intend to untangle/dissolve/release).
- 血をひく means descendant. A more literal translation would be "from (someone)'s bloodline."
Game Start to End of Hyrule Castle Dungeon[edit]
Zelda speaks in Link's sleep:
Zelda
私の名前はゼルダ…… ６人のイケニエが ささげられ 私が さいごの１人… 城にやって来た司祭アグニムはイケニエを使い、７賢者の封印を再び開こうとしています。 私は、お城の地下ろうの中… たすけて… …
My name is Zelda... Out of the 6 who were sacrificed, I am the last one... The priest Agahnim who came to the castle tries to open up the seal of the seven sages again by using ritual sacrifices.
I'm in the castle dungeon... help me...
Link's uncle
朝までには戻ってくる。家を出るんじゃないぞ。
- わし is a male first person pronoun preferably used by old men. You shouldn't use this unless you want to sound like an old geezer.
- ぞ at the end of a sentence adds force or can indicate a command. Preferably used by males.
Link gets the lantern:
Ｙボタンでとうろうに火をつけれるぞ！
- カンテラ is borrowed from the dutch "kandelaar."
- つけれる -> the ら is sometimes dropped from -られる in the potential form in conversational Japanese, but it is not regarded as grammatically correct.
Link is out of magic power:
Link meets some guards near the castle:
Guards at beginning of game
- 大人になってから is the stock expression for telling a kid to wait until they're older. For example, たばこは大人になってから, "You can smoke tobacco when you're an adult."
Guards at beginning of game
地図が見れるぜ … … お前 知ってるかい？
- かい at the sentence end indicates a question usually answered with Yes or No
- ぜ at the end of a sentence has the same function like ぞ. Adds force or can indicate a command. Preferably used by males.
Guards at beginning of game
- たり used with verbs can indicate that this is but one of many things you can do. Literally it means something like 'you can do such things as... (but possibly it can do some other things as well)'. So in this case it means the A Button can be used to lift up objects among other things like grabbing and pulling an object, etc.
Guards at beginning of game
Guards at beginning of game
Guards at beginning of game
Guards at beginning of game
- ためになる = to be good for something
- 々 is a repetition letter used for kanji. So 色々 is the same as 色色.
Link meets the guard at the castle gate:
Castle guard
子どもは 早く帰ってねなさい！
Link reads a sign on his way to the dungeon:
Zelda speaks as Link makes his way to the dungeon:
Zelda
お城のまわりから、中庭へ通じる抜け穴があるはずよ。
Link meets his uncle in the secret passage:
Link's uncle
…こ、この剣と盾を持って行け
よくきけ…Ｂボタンを押し続け
剣に力をためるのだ。
そうすれば、ある一族だけに伝わる秘剣が使えるはずだ…。リンクよ、お前ならできる…
ゼルダ姫を お救いするのだ。お、お前は、姫の … …。
T-take this sword and shield.
Listen well... Press and hold the B button. It will save up energy in your sword.
Doing this, you should be able to use a secret sword technique that was handed down only by a certain family. Link, you can do it...
Rescue Princess Zelda. Y-you're the princess's....- だけ generally means "only" or "alone". Here, it means "of all people, especially you".
- "Link, you alone I didn't want to get involved in this."
- のに literally means "even though", and is often used used after a past-tense form to show regret that something you prepared for didn't go as you had planned. This construction is often preceded by the word "せっかく".
- Ex: 「せっかく洗濯物を干したのに...」 "and I just put out the laundry" (said when it starts raining suddenly).
- Note that the term 一族 is more used in a sense of lineage. 家族 and 家庭 are more regular terms when addressing your family(mother, father and siblings etc.).
- The なら emphasizes the subject: you can do it (but other people might not be able to).
- At this point, your uncle apparently dies.
Link gets the map:
Link gets the boomerang:
Link getｓ the big key:
Link rescues the princess:
Zelda
あなたが 近づいてくるのを 感じていたわ。
リンク よくきいて この城の兵たちは、みんな 司祭アグニムの、魔術に あやつられているの。お父様は、たぶん もう …
司祭は、人間ではないわ！ 強い力を持った悪魔よ！ … … …
ねえ ちゃんときこえましたか
- うん
- ぜんぜん
Listen well, Link. These castle guards, every one of them is being manipulated with black magic by the priest Agahnim. My father probably is too...
The priest isn't human! He is a devil with strong power!
Did you hear this properly?
- Yes
- Not at all
- Take note that Zelda tends to end her sentences with わ occasionally. It indicates emotion and emphasis. Furthermore it is considered a female term, so don't replicate this if you are male otherwise you will sound girlish.
- お父様 uses both the honorific prefix お and the suffix さま. さま is a highly honorific suffix. When used on titles and persons it can carrie a subliminal meaning of worhsip and devotion. Zelda is using it for her father because he is also the King of Hyrule, obviously. お父さん with the polite but more neutral さん suffix would be the more regular term to address your father.
- 悪魔 literally means devil and often relates to Satan. However in Japanese every person doing horrendous evil deeds can be labeled with that term.
Zelda
とにかく、１Ｆのホールまで 私を連れて行って。さあ、急いで…。
- 抜け道 literally translates as bypath or a way out of something. 抜ける = 'to lead out, to come out' and 道 = path, road
Link escorts the princess to the 1F hall...
Zelda
- The kanji for priest here 神父 are different than those used for Aghanim 司祭. The meaning is the same. Except that 神父 is literally "god-father" and therefore has a connotation of "good" as opposed to Aghanim, who is evil. 司祭 literally means Conductor of Rituals. Which hints at Aghanims rituals in the game.
- 力に成(な)って呉(く)れる's meaning is straightforward: "The priest will become our power." = "The priest('s actions) will become (=contribute) to our power." = "The priest will give us power."
In the throne room...
Zelda
よういが良ければ行きましょう
左側から押すといいわ。力をかして！
If you're prepared, then let's go.
It will be good to push it from the left side. Lend me your power!
Halfway through the secret passage to the church...
Last room in the secret passage to the church...
The correct switch...
- まま indicates a state, ie "with the A button pushed".
- When talking about turning on/off switches, 入れる is often used. 押す can also be used, but it is more common to indicate pushing some sort of button.
Link and Zelda meet the church priest:
Priest
Zelda
『さいごのイケニエのお前をささげれば賢者の封印は開く』って… … …
ねえ リンク お願い！ このハイラルの国を 司祭なんかに わたさないで。
７賢者の封印が 解かれたら 魔の力が どっとおしよせてくるわ。
その前に … … … その前に司祭を倒して！
この国を守って！ あなたなら きっとできる … あなたなら …
"If I use you, Zelda, as the final sacrifice then the seal of the sages will open."
Link, I beg of you! Please don't hand over Hyrule to the likes of the priest!
If the seal of the 7 sages is undone, an evil power will suddenly come forth.
Before then... Before then, take down the priest!
Protect this country! You are surely able to do it... Only you can...- Appending なんか to nouns or persons literally means 'something or someone like that'. When used on persons this can be considered derogatory.
Priest
あやつを倒すには 伝説の 退魔の剣『マスターソード』が 必要でしょう。
くわしい事は私には わかりませんが、村の長老が７賢者の しそんの１人だと言う事です。
まず 彼を訪ねると良いでしょう… … 地図に印をつけておきます。
でも、気をつけて行くのですよ
今ごろは城の兵が あなた達を 探しまわっているはずです。
ゼルダ姫は、ここに、かくまっておきます。心配せずに 行きなさい。
ちゃんと きこえましたか？
- うん
- ぜんぜん
In order to defeat this guy, you will need the legendary sword that repels evil, the Master Sword.
I don't know the details, but it is rumored that the village elder is one of the descendants of the 7 sages.
First, it would be good to visit him... I'll add the mark to your map.
But be careful. Right now the castle guards should be out looking for you all.
I will shelter Princess Zelda here. Go without worry.
Did you hear this properly?
- Yes
- Not at all
- Putting 様です on the end of a sentence, gives it the meaning of 'it seems like' or 'it appears to me (as if)'.
- 彼奴(あやつ) is derived from 彼(あ), an old Japanese pronoun still seen in such words as あれ,あの,あいつ,あなた(あ+の+方)) and 奴(やつ), so the basic meaning is "that person", furthermore it is derogatory. It is basically a contraction of あのやつ.
- 退 basic meaning is "retreat, move somebody out of the way" and 魔 means evil, so judging from the kanji, it means "sword that fends off evil".
- と言う事です literally means "it is said that..." or "they say that...".
- 探し回る (here rendered 探しまわる) is a combination of 探す, "to search", and 回る, "to go around" (often in the literal sense of "orbit", but sometimes in the more figurative sense of wandering). Hence, "to go around looking".
- せず, from する, is formed by using 連用形 (continuous use form) of the classical negation of verbs with ず(ぬ). So it means "without doing". Thus, 心配せずに is "without worry".
Priest at Church
- ことです is placed at the end of a present tense form to convey that some action is required. It sounds blunt and is often used to emphasize the action. See ことだ for reference (read the comments too).
Zelda at Church
Link gets a heart container (full):
End of Hyrule Castle Dungeon to End of First Dungeon (Eastern Temple)[edit]
Link gets a piece of heart:
Link gets a piece of heart (every fourth piece):
Sign west of church:
カカリコ村
Sign east of Link's house:
Sign at Kakariko village main entrance:
カカリコ村
Sign north of fortune teller's house:
- 勝手に means "behaving freely, as you want, not caring about how you are supposed to behave". It can also mean "to do something on your own accord".
- Take note that ヘブラ山 uses the suffix for 山 since it is a place name. So it is pronounced ヘブラさん. There are many other nouns that have suffix or even prefix pronunciations for kanji, so watch out for this. A few examples on when to use and not use the suffix:
- この山は美しい。 "This mountain is beautiful."
- へブラ山は美しい。 "Mount Hebra is beautiful."
- へブラの山は美しい。 "The Mount of Hebra is beautiful."
Sign near Lake Hylia:
- Like before ハイリア湖 is a place name so it uses the suffix. See above for more details.
Fortune Teller (north of Kakariko Village)
Link doesn't have enough money:
Fortune Teller
- 悪うございます is correct Japanese. 悪し→悪く→悪う is a formal variation of adjectives when used with (で)御座る. Below are listed the change for adjectives whose stem ends on a (vowel) sound of
ア:早く→(お)早う,
イ:宜しく→宜しゅう,
ウ:悪く→悪う,
エ:There are no such adjectives. (Except 可し, I guess. Given certain sound changes, this *might become 可く→*びょう. Sounds funny, but that is only speculation.),
オ:重く→重う.
If Link has enough money...
さ、さ、うらなってしんぜよう
おやすくしときますよ･･･。
- うらなってもらう
- やめておく
Say, I'll tell your fortune.
It will be cheap for you...
- Have him tell your fortune
- Pass up
- しときます is the contraction of しておきます
If you ask him to tell it...
まずは、長老サハスラーラを探しなされ~･･･。
- TODO - Needs better explanation of the first line and なされ. Might need a better translation.
- ～になりますように is a phrase meaning hoping, wishing or praying for something.
Woodcutters (North of church):
Woodcutter
うかつに入れもしねェーや。
Woodcutter
- The two woodcutters use a big two-man saw to cut down the tree.
- きりごたえ has most likely an analogous meaning to 手応え; i.e., "the feeling while cutting" or something like this. This is a hint for the player later on when he can ram into the tree using the Pegasus Boots. This will reveal a hollow tree trunk leading to a secret area.
- なあ or な used at the end of a sentence can be used to convey emphasis and emotion. This is usually a mens term and can be considered the male equivalent to わ which Zelda likes to use every now and then. Women using なあ can sound a little bit tomboyish. Be careful not to confuse this with the negating particle な following a verb which is meant as a prohibition. For example if someone yells at you "食べるな！" in a loud and anxious voice, then it is not good to go ahead and eat it. In this case however, it is quite clear since な is elongated using あ which let's you know that it is used to convey more emphasis.
Sign near woodcutter shed:
Link can play the money-making game in the lost woods
Link tries to open a chest before paying:
Man
- にい means elder brother. However, you can use words like this to address strangers you don't have any family relations with too. In this case you would translate it different according to the current situation, the relations the characters are in and which kind of honorific prefixes and suffixes are used. This also depends on the age difference the two characters interacting with each other have. In this case "buddy" seems legit, since Link has no family relations to this man but is still addressed without honorific prefixes and with the more familiar ちゃん suffix.
Link speaks to the man:
１００ルピーで１ぱつしょうぶ
あんた、やってみないかい？ さあ、どうする？
- しょうぶする
- 逃げだす
A one-round game is 100 rupees.
Want to give it a try?
So, what will you do?
- Play the game
- Run away
- あんた is the contraction of あなた and it is less polite. Using あんた to adress someone you are not familiar with can be considered derogatory.
Run away:
Play the game:
Link talks to the man after the game, or tries to open a second chest:
Link picks up a fake master sword in the lost woods:
… … …では、ない様だ。 ザンネン
- やった is a quite common exclamation in Japanese to express cheer, success or a sense of accomplishment. It literally means "[You, We, I, etc.] did it"
Link meets a thief in the lost woods cave:
Thief
Link finds a mushroom in the lost woods:
Ｙボタンで人にわたせたりする
- 渡せたり is 渡す→渡せる (potential) → 渡せたり. たり, phenomenologically formed by adding り to the た-past form, is used to indicate that a verb action is only one instance of what is actually done - ie a literal translation would be "You can do such things as giving it to people with the Y-Button." In this context, it bears some connotation of "(Try) doing such things as giving it to people...". たり can be used with multiple verbs, ie 食べたり飲んだりする, however, one must always conclude such a phrase with する.
Sign west of Kakariko Village:

Link meets the old woman on the right side of the house:
Old Woman
ババに何かようかのう。
長老？ ああ あの人は 司祭が イケニエを集め始めたころから、家を出てますのじゃ
… … … なに マスターソードとな？ くわしい事は忘れてしもうたが
今より はるか昔この地にハイリア族と呼ばれる民がさかえておったそうじゃ…。
この国には、その民の残した 宝がいくつか かくされておると言うことでな…。
マスターソードは その中でも 魔の力を持つ者に対して 特に きたえられた剣だときいておる
そして今も 森の奥深く しずかにねむっているはずじゃ … … …
ちゃんときこえたかのう？
- うん
- ぜんぜん
Did you need something from this old woman?
The elder? Ah, has been out of the house ever since the priest started gathering sacrifices.
... ... what? Master Sword? I don't remember much about it.
Before today, a long time ago, was a group of people called the Hylia who prospered and flourished.
In this land, it is said that numerous treasures were left behind by these people and concealed.
Of these (treasures) I have heard that the Master Sword was a blade forged especially for those who possess magical powers.
And even to this day, the sword is supposed to sleep quietly deep in the heart of the forest...
Did you hear this properly?
- Yes
- Not at all
- や is Kansai-ben for だ. のう is Kansai-ben for な/ね.
- しもうた is Kansai-ben for しまった. わすれてしもうた "I completely forgot".
- くわしいこと means "the details" or "the particulars". "I completely forgot the particulars of the Master Sword."
はようみつかると良いがのう。リンクや、気を付けて行かれなさいよ…。
- はよう = はやく (Kansai-ben) This form can also be found in the standard Japanese expression お早う and 宜しゅうで御座る.
Man in thieves' hideout:
- ブラインド is probably a reference to the english word "blind". This guy is also the boss of the Thieves' Town Dungeon in the Dark World.
- らしい here is used to express an assumption or conclusion made by looks and evidence. The house looks overall very dark and dirty.
Link gets bombs:
Second Row of Houses in Kakariko Village
Lady at house on left:
- お尋ね者 is an old word that means "wanted", as in your face is on the wanted poster on the outside wall of a saloon.
Street Vendor
- か う
- いらない
- Buy
- Don't need it
- TODO - better translation needed for １００ルピーでＯＫあるね。 Explanation needed for how the vendor uses ある.
- I'm not 100% sure on this but I think the writers gave the vendor faulty Japanese on purpose to make him sound foreign. If you look at him in the game, he looks quite oriental and wears a turban. Especially the last part "どうするあるよ？" sounds completely off to me. He uses ある way too much and in totally inappropriate places grammar-wise. In any case, I would advice to NOT use any of his sentences as learning material.
If you say you don't need it...
If you buy it...
- ありがとさん is ありがと (thanks) combined with さん, which is just a contraction of さま. Thus, it is an informal version of making certain expressions. Also more polite by adding さま. Also compare お疲れさま—お疲れさん.
- よろし is a form of the adjective 宜しい. To be precise, it is the 終止形, and old conjugation base that only survives in certain expressions and phrases in modern Japanese.

After Link buys the bottle, he speaks to the seller again:
Link releases a rare bee near the shopkeeper who sold him a bottle in Kakariko Village. When it touches him, he says:

System
Talk to the boy after borrowing the net...

Old Woman
- 信じとる is just the contraction of 信じておる, although you can find とる itself in the dictionary. おる is the old pronunciation of いる and it is considered humble language. So basically 信じとる has the same meaning as 信じている. Furthermore, おる is often used to make characters sound old or ancient. For example, the Great Deku Tree in Ocarina of Time tends to use おる instead of いる.

じゃが あの剣は誰でも使えるわけではのうてな。３匹の魔物を倒し３つの紋章を手にした『勇者』だけが使い手になれるとハイリアの民は伝えとる … … …
いどんでみるか？
- うん
- もちろん
... ... ...What's that?
So a young lad like you (Link) is seeking the sword of Evil's Bane, eh?
Well, not just anybody can use that sword. Only a Hero who slays three monsters and has collected three crests can wield it, so the Hylian people say...
Take on the challenge?
- Yes.
- Of course!
- いかにも means something like "Indeed" or "yes, that's right"
- 紋章 is a "seal" or "crest", like a coat of arms
- 使い手になれる: lit. "can become the wielder"
- ～とる is a dialectal variant of ～ている. It's basically the contraction of ておる.
みごと持ち帰ったならば、ワシの知っている話を教えてやろう
さあ、神殿へ行くが良い。
If you bring it back here, I will tell you a story I know.
Well then, go to the temple.

Note about dungeons: The items you get in each dungeon (map, compass, big key) will not be covered in each dungeon. The compass is new, so we'll cover that one now.

残りの紋章は、あと２つだ！
Show it to elder Sahasuraara.
There are two crests left!End of First Dungeon to End of Second Dungeon (Desert Temple)[edit]
Link meets Sahasuraara again:
ナイトの一族と呼ばれておったのじゃが、７賢者の封印が行なわれた時、魔族とのたたかいでほとんどの者がほろんでしまったのじゃ。そのナイトのー族から勇者が現れるはずなのじゃが
- 魔族 means "monster family/clan". I take it here to mean monsters (by race) generally
- ～が良い means "It would be good if you did ～" or "You should ～”. It is a way to issue a command.
Link gets the Pegasus Boots:
Sahasuraara continues:
- The last sentence "みんなには、ナイショだよ" is a reoccuring quote in the Zelda series. It's a reference to the first Zelda game.
Link speaks to Sahasuraara again following their conversation:
Link can have his fortune told again at this point:
サバクにも賢者のしそんが住んでお～る。
Another fortune you can get at this point:
サバクの入口は村に伝わるムドラの書をもって開かれ～る。
Equipped with the Pegasus Shoes, Link can now catch the running man in town:
とにかく、それだけ足がはやいんだったら、色々 所 に、体当りしてみるといいかもな･･･。
この村の木には、おとくな 物がひっかかってるみたいだしよ。まあ、ためしてごらん。なっ！
Anyway, just because your legs are fast, it would be good if you tried doing a ramming attack in various places.
In the trees of this village, it looks like there is beneficial stuff stuck in them. Well, please try it out!
Link speaks with the elder's grandson again:

村の書の家に、あるはず…。必ず、手に入れなさるがよい。『勇者』となる者ならばのう…
Since the time of the first Seven Sages who were descendants of the Hylians, a prophesy has been handed down, telling of the herald of a "Great Catastrophe".
According to that prophesy, it is said that the hero will stand in the desert holding the Book of Mudora.
It is said that if you have the Book of Mudora, you can understand the words of the Hylian people.
It should be in the House of Writings in the village. You better obtain it by all means necessary. That is, if you are the one to become the hero...- TODO — Not 100% sure on the translation for the second line. Tried my best but it sure is a tricky one. At least for me...
Link finds the book of Mudora in the library south of Kakariko Village:
Armed with the bow, link can reach the end of the cave south of Lake Hylia. He speaks with the thief there:
Link speaks with the old man in the desert cave:
それがあれば、ハイリアの民のコトバがわかるはずですじゃ。
Link uses the book of Mudora at the Desert Temple entrance:
- そなた here is an archaic second person pronoun.

マスターソードの森へ向おう！
End of Second Dungeon to End of Third Dungeon (Tower of Hera)[edit]
Link can have his fortune told again:
マスターソードは、司祭の体を攻撃するための物ではな～い。
There's a second fortune too at this point:
山の塔には、ムーンパールなる宝があ～る。手に入れなされ～
- ムーンパールなる: ムーンパール is moon pearl. なる nowadays means "to become, to get", but originally, it was a copula, ie about the same meaning as だ・である・です・で御座る…. The 終止形(sentence-ending form) is なり, the 連体形(used for forming relative sentences such as in 立つ人・死ぬ人) is なる, which is used here. Thus, we literally get "a treasure that is a moon pearl". The so-called na-adjectives were formed by attaching なる(or たる) to words (mostly imported from China) and the 〜な of Modern Japanese is a contraction of this なる; for example 聖なる, which is still used today. ムーンパールなる is therefore a "moon-pearl-y treasure (chest)."
Wise man in desert cave (after getting second crest):

Do you want to try throwing some item [into the well]?
Well then, what will you do?
- Try throwing something

- ーてみる means to try. みる is usually written in kana for this construction.
Throw something:
Great Fairy
- うん
- ちがう
- Yes
- Wrong
- ちがう, the word for to differ, can be used in Japanese to tell someone they are wrong about an assumption, which is what Link (or the player) is trying to convey at this point.
Say no:
- 本当にちがう
- 本当はそれ
- It's really not.
- It really is.
Say it's really not:
For 嘘をつく, the を is dropped.
Say it is at any point (return of item):

But instead, you should ask my friend. She is a cute young woman living at the waterfall of wishes.
I'll return your rupees to you. I wish for your happiness...Visit the man underneath the bridge north of Lake Hylia:
Back in Kakariko Village, Link meets the man in the houses with bushes across the entrance again after getting the flippers:
ところで、昔この村にオカリナで、どうぶつ達と話ができる子どもがいてねェ。 トリを使って国中をかけまわっていたよ。きっと、そのオカリナにはふしぎな力があったのさ
By the way, long ago there was a child in this village who could talk to the animals with an ocarina.
That child traveled the all over the country by using a chicken. That ocarina sure possesses a wondrous power.Link sprinkles magic power on the cuckoo under the pot in the leftmost house in the second row in Kakariko Village. It turns into a woman!
あなたでしょ よく私のなかまいじめてるの。 カザミドリがちゃんと見てるわよ。 けれど 人間の姿も ケッコウふべんね あ～あ トリにもどりたいわ！ケコッコ…
It was you, right? The one that kept teasing my friends! Me and Weather Vane were watching you. But this human body is really inconvenient.
Aah! I want to become a bird again! Coo...Link meets a lost old man on the way to the Mt. Hebra summit:
The lost old man continues...
穴が開いておるでな。 そこを右へ行ってくださらんか お若いの、あんたもやっぱり『黄金の力』を求めて 山へ行かれるのか？ この先は魔物の山じゃ。 たくさんの男達が『黄金の力』を求め この山で消えていった 悪いことは言わん。あんたも深入りせんことじゃて…。
There are open holes. Right here, go right. You're a young one. I bet, you too did come to the mountain in search of the Golden Power, right? Beyond this point the monster-mountain starts. Alot of men vanished in those mountains in search of the Golden Power.
Not to mention all the other bad things. Don't you get tangled up into these things too...Approach a pot:
The lost old man continues...
ワシにもなあ、あんたくらいのまご娘がいてのう…。 国王に お城に連れて行かれて戻ってこぬ… イケニエなどきっと司祭のたくらみじゃ！ 魔法陣を封じた７賢者の力をうけつぐ娘たちを捕えて、その力をりようするつもりじゃ。
- The "Magic Plates" he refers to are most likely the square shaped portals to the Dark World which start to appear in the mountains for the first time.
The old man continues in front of his house at the summit:
おっ、つい話こんでしもうたの
年よりに色々と ありがとう。 おお、そうじゃ。もし魔法陣に迷いこんだ時は、このカガミにあんたの 姿をうつしなさい。
Oh, I'm rambling on. Thank you for everything you did for an old man.
Oh, right. Should the time come when you end up getting lost on one of these Magic Plates, this mirror will change your appearance.- うつしなさい can either mean 映す or 移す. Both would be true, as the mirror obviously will reflect your image, but also changes Link form back to his normal self while leaving the Dark World.
Link gets the magic mirror:
すい込まれそうな気がしてくる
Link speaks with the old man at his mountain home:
山の上の塔には、ムーンパールと呼ばれる玉がある。必ず見つけなされ。 わしが、あんたにしてやれるのは、つかれをいやす事くらい… いつでも来なされ。
In the tower on top of the mountain is a ball called the Moon Pearl. Find it by all means. The only thing I can do for you, is to heal your fatigue to some degree.
Please come back here anytime.
Sign near cave on Mt. Hebra:
村への道へ通じる。
Triforce tile panel near heart piece in cave halfway up Mt. Hebra:
メガネイワにのぼるのじゃ。 そうすれば、このヘブラ山のヘラの塔へたどりつけるじゃろう。よくかんがえることじゃ。
You must climb spectacle rock.
If you do that, you will finally arrive at Hebra Mountain's Tower of Hera. Consider it well.After stepping through the portal, Link turns into a rabbit and meets a horned demon atop Mt. Hebra:
せっかく『黄金の力』をいただこうと思ってこの世界にきたのに、こんな姿になるし。
もとの世界に帰れねェ…。
ヘラの塔にある、ムーンパールてェ玉さえ手に入ればもとの姿に戻れるってことだが…。
オレは、ムシャクシャしてるんだぞ、コノヤロウー！ あっちヘ行けっ。シッシッ
I came to this world, thinking I could get this Golden Power I longed for and now I've turned into this.
I can't return to my world...
If only I could get my hands on this ball called the Moon Pearl inside the Tower of Hera, I would return to my original form but...
I'm so pissed off, you son of a bitch! Get out of my way. *shoo* *shoo*- ヤロー is often very derogatory
- あっち行け or variants of it is an expression to tell someone "to go away". It literally means "go over there" or "go that way".
Link meets a pink ball-man atop Mt. Hebra:
あれっ、あんたは、ウサギさんになったんだね…。
そうだよ、この世界は、ぼく達の住む世界と、よくにた地けいだけど、ちょ～っとちがうのさ。
そのうえ、迷いこんだ人間は、その人の心をうつした姿に、かわってしまうんだよ。
おいら、コロコロ気がかわるもんで、ボールみたいになっちゃったぜ…
でも、ムーンパールって玉があればもとの姿に戻れるらしいんだ…。 ゴロンゴロンゴロン
Huh, so you have turned into a rabbit...
That's right, this world and the world where we live, only share similarities in terrain, but it is somewhat different.
What's more, the people who end up getting lost here, will be turned into a form that reflects their mind.
I got a fickle personality so I got turned into something like a ball...
But if I had that sphere called the Moon Pearl, I would probably get back my previous form...

Within this tower, there exists a jewel called the moon pearl.
The appearance of the one who wields that jewel, will not change and be protected even when inside the Monster World.
Make sure to find it before you leave the tower and don't forget it...- Both 魔物の世界 and 闇世界 is the Dark World in the American version.

どうか娘を助けてやってくれ！
わしが、あんたにしてやれるのは、つかれをいやす事くらい…いつでも来なされ。
Now that you have it, you are surely the hero I've been waiting for.
Somehow, save the maidens for me!
I can heal your fatigue for you...come anytime.
Link can have his fortune told again at this point:
かじ屋の家の前のいどに、とびこんでみなさ～い。
At the church, the priest and princess Zelda have new things to say to Link:
Church priest
Zelda
あとは、マスターソードを手に 入れるだけね！ だいじょうぶ。
あなたなら司祭に勝てるわ！
All that's left is to get the Master Sword! It's all right!
Only you can win against the priest!
Link can visit Sahasuraara at the eastern temple:
お前が まことの勇者ならば 剣の方で お前を選ぶであろう
Link can again visit the wise man in the desert cave:
そなたが、『知恵』『勇気』『力』をかねそなえる、
まことの『勇者』ならば、森にねむるマスターソードもそなたの物となるですじゃ。
Thou hast combined wisdom, courage, and power.
If thou art the true hero, even the master sword which sleeps in the forest shall become thine.
Link reads the inscription of the master sword pedestal (with the book of Mudora):
その手で、この剣を引きぬくであろう。その者ナイトの一族の血をひく者なり。
Link gets the master sword and Sahasuraara contacts him:
どこからとなく ひびいてくる … … …
マスターソードを手に入れた…。
そのかがやき全てがお前の力だ。
the Master Sword, is now yours.
That shining light is entirely your power.Now Zelda contacts Link again telepathically:
Wise man in desert cave (after getting master sword):
Sahasuraara (after getting master sword):
Link can return to Mt. Hebra and get the ether magic:
魔法メーターに 注意しよう！
Link visits the priest at the church:
Abbot
お、おそらく城の塔の１ばん上にある部屋でしょう。
ゼルダ姫が、イケニエにされる
その前に、なんとか… ひ、姫を頼みま…す…。
P-probably to the room that is at the very top of the castle tower.
Zelda is going to be sacrificed.
Before then, somehow... I, I entrust the princess to... you...- At this point, the abbot dies.
Hyrule Castle Revisited
Triforce tile panel (5F)
マスターソードといえども、司祭の体をきる事はできぬ。
やつの魔力をぎゃくに、りようするのじゃ。
Even though you have the master sword, the priest's body cannot be cut.
Reversing his magical power - that is its purpose.- いいか is a common expression used to get someone's attention. よいか is just a different pronunciation. The difference originates from 良い which can be pronounced either いい or よい. Another common example is the verb 行く which can be pronounced either いく or ゆく. Another common thing you can observe is that older people tend to use ゆく more often while younger people tend to use いく。
Link faces Agahnim:
おまちしておりましたぞ！
あなたの目の前で ゼルダを消してやろうと思いましてね。
見よ！ゼルダのさいごじゃあ！
I have been waiting for you.
I thought I would make princess Zelda disappear before your eyes.
Look! Zelda's last moments!
Agahnim gets rid of Zelda...
魔の力が、この国をおおいつくすのも時間のもんだいですぞ…
しょせん伝説の『勇者』も『黄金の力』を持つ、われらが魔族には、かないませんか。
ホォッホッホッ さらばじゃ！
Until the demonic powers completely enshroud this land, it is only a matter of time.
In the end, even the hero of legend is no rival to us, the demon clan who is the bearer of the Golden Power.
Hohoho, farewell!
Link faces Agahnim once more:
Link defeats Aghanim:
しかし、このままにはせぬぞ！
闇世界へ引きずりこんでやる！
However, it won't go this way.
I'll drag you into the Dark World!
Link hears Sahasuraara's voice:
しかし、今では魔族のはびこる言わば、闇の世界じゃ。
司祭は、封印をとき城の入口に闇世界とこちら側を結ぶ通り道を開いてしまったようじゃ。
再び、こちらの世界を救うには『黄金の力』をとり戻すしか道は残されておらぬ！
But now monsters overrun it. It is a World of Darkness, so to speak. It appears that by unraveling the seal, the priest succeeded in opening a passage at the castle entrance which is connecting our side to the Dark World.
Once again, the only path remaining to save this world is to reclaim the Golden Power.- ～しか～ない means "only". ～しか道は残されていない = "only path that remains". Literally, "there remains nothing except this path/way".
７賢者の血をひく彼女らの力必ず、やくにたつであろう！
娘達は、それぞれ魔物のかくれ家に封じこめられておる。まずヤミの神殿へ向かうのじゃ！
頼りは、お前だけ…
このサハスラーラの願いをかなえてくれ！ 頼むぞリンクよ
The power of those maidens, who carry the blood of the Seven Sages, will surely be useful!
Each of the maidens is confined/sealed in the hideouts of monsters. First, head for the Temple of Darkness!
The one we can depend on is you alone.
- 血をひく means that you are blood-related, ie your veins run with the same blood.
- 役に立つ is an idiomatic phrase that means "to be useful"
- かくれが means "hidout" or "lurking place"
- 向かう means to face a direction. Here "head for".
- 頼む literally means "to ask" or "to request (some service or favor)". It's commonly used to mean "I'm counting on you"
Sahasuraara has this to say if Link doesn't have the moon pearl yet:
ムーンパールは、闇世界の魔力から、お前を守り、勇者の姿をたもってくれるであろう。
The Moon Pearl will protect you from the magical power of the Dark World and will preserve your heroic form.
End of Fourth Dungeon to End of Fifth Dungeon (Temple of Darkness)[edit]

Furthermore, he is using the power of our seven sages inherited by seven daughters as a key to undo the seal in the vicinity of the castle.
He plans to open a path to even more power. But, that path isn't open yet.

If you refuse:
さよならっ！

Link gets the shovel:
Link speaks to the boy after getting the shovel:
Link gets the ocarina:
- ね is a somewhat rare alternate reading of 音. You can also find it in 初音ミク (Hatsune Miku). 色 means color, thus 音色 is tone color.
- あった is the past of 有る - to be. Literally, "Oh, the ocarina was there [where you found it and now you brought it so it is not there anymore.]" When using kanji, 在る describes the pure existence, while 有る emphasizes existing at a certain location/place. 或る is only used in the meanings of ある時・或る山 etc, as well as for 或いは. However, using only kana is very common these days...
Link returns to the fox man with the ocarina:
でも、ぼくはもう そいつを吹く事は できないみたいだ。
キミに あずかってほしい。そして、ぼくの住んでいた村へ行くことがあったら、
いねむりばかりしてるジイさんに、わたしてやってよ … … …
ああ、いしきがうすれてきた…
お願いだ、さいごにそいつの音色を きかせておくれよ…
But, it looks like I can't play that anymore.
I want you to have it. Also, if you go to the town where I lived,
give this to the old man who does nothing but sleep....
Ah, my consciousness is fading...
Please, let me hear that timbre one last time to send me off...
At this point, Link can visit the sleeping man in the Kakariko Village bar. He now says:
… … … ぐっ ぐう～ ぐう～
Link plays the ocarina for the sleeping man. He wakes and says:
どこにおりますか、ゲンキでしたか… … … …
そうですか… いや、何も言いなさらんでも、そのカオ見ればわかりますですじゃ。
そのオカリナは、あんたが持っていて下さらんか…。それで、むすこのかわりに、
村のトリにオカリナの音色をきかせてやって下され…。どうか、お願いですじゃ。
むすこも、よろこぶでしょう… … ただ、もうー度だけ、むすこに会いたかった…。
Where is he? Is he well?
Is that so... No, even without saying anything, if I look at your face I understand.
Will you please take that ocarina with you? That way, instead of my son,
please let the village bird hear the ocarina's timbre.... Somehow, please.
The boy was happy wasn't he... I wanted to see him just one more time....
There are two bomb trees in this area that Link can speak with. To speak with them, bump into the tree's "snout," dodge the bomb, then touch the snout again.

The Triforce grants the wish of the one who touches it. As long as that person lives...
For this reason, it was placed in the holy land and its location only told to people who were chosen.
However, it seems this passing on has been interrupted somewhere.
And then, the next one to find the holy land again was the thief known as Ganondorf.
But, fortunately, he did not know how to return to the world of light... Link, try to remember:
You have the mirror only the hero can master, don't you?
Besides the magic square on Mt. Hebura, there are several others as well.
If you use them to go back and forth between the two worlds, you can also begin to search for the monsters lurking in the dark world.
The thief Ganondorf...no, Dark King Ganon... you are the only who can defeat him... I am praying for you.

It is said that if a person with an evil heart were to acquire the Triforce, a hero will certainly appear and strike down him who is the root of this "great calamity."
But when the hero were to be defeated, he with an evil heart will cover the world with darkness...
So, the only one who can be become this hero should be one from the family of knights that protected the Hylian royal family.

It is said that the Hylian people were able to manipulate a mysterious power. The seven wise men possessed this power as well.
But, in the long months and years [that passed], the Hylian bloodline faded and our bloodline of the seven sages does not have strong power.
If only we had the power of the knigh who commands courage, the sage of wisdom would acquire more power as well.
The path connecting Light and Darkness that has appeared at the castle is nearing completion already, there's not much time.
If you defeat Ganon, this world of darkness will disappear and the Triforce will wait for another possessor. I believe in you.

The Triforce is the "power of gold" given by god. The wish in the heart of the person who touches it will be granted.
If a person with a correct heart touches it, a correct wish... if a person with an evil heart touches it, an evil wish [will be granted]....
That person's wish, if it is strong, to the extent that it is strong, the Triforce will display that power.
Ganon's wish was to hold the world in his hand. That evil wish changed the holy land into the world of darkness.
From there, Ganon who was storing power, planned to appear in the world of light.
But, now that Ganon who touched the Triforce is defeated, even world of darkness will begin to disappear.
The Triforce is waiting for a new possessor. The "power of gold" is yours.
Now, touch it. With the wish in your heart...Houlihan room[edit]
みんなにはないしょだよ～ん。
- This is what in the English localization of the game is called the "Chris Houlihan Room". The room is used as an error handler if you fall into a hole, and the game cannot find a proper destination. It is a single cave room and contains a telepathic tile as well as 225 rupees. If you exit the cave, you end up in front of Link's House, regardless of which world you were in before. (Chris Houlihan is a kid who participated at a Nintendo Power event and received the honor to get his name to appear in a future Zelda game, which happened to be in this room in the English version.)

- If the monkey is hit by a cyclops's bomb, it should trigger the dialogue. - Mew seeker
A sign somewhere. But I never found it in my playthrough.

It must be near water, maybe near the place where the flippers are sold. - Mew seeker
- I think it's just outside Zora's river, near the waterfall of wishing.
The lost old man in the cave on Mount Hebra:
闇世界へ向かうのならば、城へ行きなされ。
- Once Link returns after his first visit in the dark world.
I don't know who says this. I'm having trouble translating it too.
- Pretty sure this is from the one sane soldier in the castle (get on the castle wall and go down the right side to find him).
- The game tells you this when you catch something with the net without having an empty bottle available.
I don't know who says this.
I don't know who says this.

Seems like the sick boy in Kakariko village says this, but I didn't find it in my playthrough.

…Oh, so you don't. Cough- He says this if you talk to him before getting any bottles.

- I think this is probably one of the lumberjack brothers after you pull the master sword.
"Cukeman" - before meeting Sahasralah:
サハスラーラを さがすラーラ … … … 。
- This is a pun on Sahasrahla's name because the beginning "sahasu" sounds like "sagasu" (search)
- If you Sprinkle some Magical Powder onto an electrically charged enemy in the game called "Buzz Blob", it will transform into a creature called a "Cukeman" which you can then talk to.
"Cukeman" - after meeting Sahasrahla:
… … … さすがラーラ …
… … …
As expected-ralah …- Another pun on Sahasrahla's name and the earlier pun with "sagasu", this time substituting "sasuga" (as expected) which is an anagram of "sagasu."
