| Around an Overworld or Two, Bashing Random Obstacles | ||
|---|---|---|
With the Magical Hammer, Link can reach nearly the entire Dark World. He can also reach a few new places in the Light World, including three more warp tiles (hidden under rocks), making it more convenient to reach various parts of the Dark World (getting to the Light World is easy with the Magical Mirror). Using the Magical Mirror inside the Dark World counterpart of the graveyard near the church lets Link reach a previously inaccessible large gravestone. It moves aside when he dashes into it, revealing a secret room with a treasure chest at the end... |

| マジックマントだ! 姿を消す事できるが、 魔法メーター気を付けろ! |
It's a Magic Mantle! I can disappear, but pay attention to the magic meter! |
This is the Magic Cape! You are invisible when you wear it! Watch your Magic Meter! |
When Link uses the Magic Mantle, he vanishes (his shadow remains visible for reference). This lets him completely avoid damage and walk past certain barriers. However, it consumes his magic power rather quickly for as long as it remains active... In a grove of trees in the Dark World near where Link's house would be, he finds someone who seems to have turned halfway into a tree... |

| こっち側に 迷いこんだら こんな姿に なっちまって。 … … … モトの世界に いたころは よく フエをふいて あそんだものさ…。 … … … どうぶつ達の集まる小さな ひろ場、なつかしいなあ…。 そこに、花のタネといっしょに オカリナをうめたんだ。 探してみてくれないか? |
I became like this when I wandered into this world. ... ... ... When I was in the original world, I used to enjoy playing pipes a lot... ... ... ... I miss the clearing where the animals gather... I buried my ocarina and some flower seeds together there. Would you try looking for it for me? |
After wandering into this world I turned into this shape. ... ... ... I enjoyed playing the flute in the original world... ... ... ... There was a small grove where many animals gathered. I want to see that place again... I buried my flute there with some flower seeds. |
| じゃあ、このシャベルを きみにわたそう … … … 頼んだよっ! |
Then I'll give you this shovel ... ... ... I'm counting on you! |
Then I will lend you my shovel. Good luck! |
| シャベルを、おかりした。 ほれる所なら、穴がほれるぞ ほってみよう。 |
I borrowed a shovel. I can dig holes in places where I can dig. Let's try digging. |
You borrowed a shovel! You can dig in many places. You never know what you'll find! |
Link warps to the Light World. A specter of the boy is briefly visible, then vanishes. After digging around, Link finds something blue... |
||
| おお、オカリナが あったぞ! その音色は、ふしがな力を 持っているはずだ! |
Oh, here's the Ocarina! The sound of its music ought to have a mysterious power! |
Oh! Here is the Flute! Its music surely has some mysterious power! |
Maybe they were afraid Americans wouldn't know what 'ocarina' means. Of course, that's no problem since OoT came out... Link warps back to the Dark World and shows the Ocarina to the boy... |
||
| ありがとう リンク … 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… |
Thanks, Link. ... But it looks like I can't play it anymore. I want you to hold on to it. And, if you ever go to the village where I used to live, give it to the old man who's always dozing off. ... ... ... Ahh, my consciousness is fading away... Please, let me hear the sound of its music one last time... |
Thank you, Link. But it looks like I can't play my flute any more. Please take it. If by chance you go to the village I lived in, please give it to a tired old man you will find there. ... ... ... Well, my mind is getting hazy... Please let me hear the sound of the flute one last time... |
Link plays the Ocarina, and the boy turns all the way into a tree. In Kakariko Village, Link finds a dozing old man and tries playing the Ocarina. |
||
| … むにゃ … こ、これは むすこのオカリナ…! むすこに会いなさったのか! 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、もう一度だけ、 むすこに会いたかった…。 |
... mumble ... Th, that's my son's ocarina...! So you met my son! Where is he, was he healthy... ... ... ... I see... No, I can tell from your face even if you don't say anything... Would you please take that ocarina...? And, in my son's stead, please let the village bird hear the sound of the ocarina's music... Please, it's a request. I expect my son would be glad too... ... it's just, I wanted to see my son just once more... |
...mumble mumble... Oh? This is my son's flute...! Did you meet my son? Where is he? Is he all right? ... ... ... ... Oh, I see... Well, I can tell what you want to say by the look in your eyes... Would you keep the flute? And will you play its sweet melody for the bird in the village square? I beg of you, please! My son would probably want it this way... ...But still, I wish I could see him once more... |
Well, there's not really anything Link can do here except play the Ocarina for the bird statue on the weather vane near the center of town. Amazingly, a strange bird bursts out of the statue when he does, and it flies away. If Link plays the Ocarina again anywhere in the Light World any time after this event, the bird swoops down, picks him up, and carries him to his choice of eight preset locations around Hyrule. This makes getting around much easier. As long as Link's in the village, there's a cave by the smithy that he can now reach thanks to the hammer, and there's a creepy shrine in the bottom. On a whim, Link sprinkles some Magical Powder on it, and a purple bat-like creature appears... |
||
| やい、よくも長いネムリから めざめさせて くれたなっ! … どうも ありがとう。 やい、こうなったら おれいを してやるから カクゴしろ。 … よろしいですか? |
Hey, how dare you awaken me from my long slumber! ... thanks a lot. Hey, now that it's come to this, I'm gonna pay you back for it, so brace yourself. ... is that all right? |
Hey! Blast you for waking me from my deep, dark sleep! ...I mean, thanks a lot, sir! But now I will get my revenge on you. Get ready for it! ...Err, is that OK with you, sir? |
The bat-creature zaps Link with something that doesn't look very harmful, and a little 1/2 appears on top of his magic meter. |
||
| ケケケ、ざまあみろ! これで 今までの2ぶんの1しか魔法は へらんぞ…、よかったですね。 では、せいぜいがんばりやがれ ごきげんよう さようなら~ |
Heh, heh, heh, serves you right! Now your magic will drop just half of before... good for you. Then, try your damn best. A pleasant farewell~ |
Heh heh heh! I laugh at your misfortune! Now your magic power will drop by one half! Congratulations! Now, do your best, even though I'm sure it won't be enough! Have a nice day! See you! |
I can't tell whether it's saying that Link's magic will drop to half, or that it will lower half as fast. It could be intentionally confusing, and the creature itself seems rather confused to begin with. Well, whatever the bat meant, and however confused it seems to be, what it did was make Link consume magic at only half the previous rate, meaning it lasts twice as long. With the Ocarina, Link can easily travel to the old man's cave in Mount Hebra... |
||
| おお、リンクか。どうやら 司祭によって城のあたりで、 2つの世界がつながった様じゃ 闇世界へ向かうのならば、城へ 行きなされ。 |
Oh, it's Link. It seems that the two worlds have been tied together near the castle by the priest. If you're heading for the Dark World, go to the castle. |
Link, I think the wizard connected the two worlds somewhere around the castle. |
Atop the Light World mountain, Link can now follow the instructions on the tablet. He holds up the Master Sword. A bolt of bright blue energy streaks from the sky, engulfing Link, then forms into eight balls of cold that circle around him and then fly out in all directions. A large golden coin with a lightning bolt engraved on it falls from the sky. |
||
| 魔法のメダル『エーテル』だ! 大気や冷気をあやつる、魔法だ 魔法メーターに 注意しよう! |
It's the Magic Medal "Ether"! The magic manipulates the atmosphere and cold air. Watch the magic meter! |
This is the Ether Medallion! Its magic controls the upper atmosphere and polar wind! Watch your Magic Meter! |
Using the "Ether" eats up Link's magic meter (32 magic for one use), but it can be worth it. When he uses it, Link quickly spins around three times, then holds his sword aloft. The same effect as described above happens, and it freezes or kills most enemies. It's similar to using the Ice Rod on everything nearby, except that it uses more magic power. Oddly, the Ice Rod and the Ether magic do not always have the same effects on all enemies. In the mountains in the Dark World, below the magic portal exit, there is a cave that Link can enter thanks to the Magical Hammer. The ground inside is covered with spikes, so it's difficult to pass alive (the Magic Mantle, half magic consumption, and recovery medicine help). At the end is a treasure chest. |
||
| バイラのつえを 手に入れた! ひとふりすれば、ヒカリのオビ が、みを守ってくれるぞ。 |
I got the Staff of Byra! If I wave it once, a belt of light will protect me. |
You got the Cane Of Byrna! If you swing it once, a ring of light will protect you! |
Much like the Magic Mantle, the Staff of Byra makes Link invulnerable, but drains his magic rather quickly. As an added bonus, it damages enemies that get too close (the same damage as Link's original sword) and knocks them away, though Link cannot use his spin attack or the sword beams while the effect is active. It's time to head for the next labyrinth, but first, using the Magical Mirror not far to the dungeon's west lets Link reach another tablet on a high ledge in the Light World. |
||
| マスターソードを かかげよ されば ボンバーの魔法を えられん。 |
Hold aloft the Master Sword. Thus shalt gain the magic of Bombar. |
Hold up the Master Sword and you will get the magic of Bombos. |
Link holds up the Master Sword. Flames spiral outward from where he stands, followed by explosions all around. A large golden coin with a spiral pattern engraved on it falls from the sky. |
||
| 魔法のメダル『ボンバー』だ! バクレツが地面を走る魔法だぞ でも、魔法メーターに注意! |
It's the Magic Medal "Bombar"! Explosions run across the ground with this magic. But watch the magic meter! |
This is the Bombos Medallion! Its magic makes the ground explode with power! Watch your Magic Meter! |
Using the "Bombar" magic eats up Link's magic meter (32 magic for on use), but it can be worth it. When he uses it, Link quickly spins in place three times, holds his sword over his head, then touches it to the ground. The effect described above happens, and sets nearby enemies on fire. Okay, now for the temple... |

| Swamp Temple | ||
The ladder leading further in is out of reach. Link can't go anywhere inside except to another telepathic tile... |
||
| リンクよ、よくきけ。光と闇 それぞれの世界にある物は たがいにその姿をまねておる 1つの物の姿がかわれば、 もう、1つもかわっておるはず じゃ。よくかんがえるのじゃ。 |
Link, listen well. Things that are in each of the Light and Dark Worlds imitate each other. If the form of one changes, the other one should change as well. Think well on this. |
Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. Objects exist simultaneously in both worlds with similar shapes. If the form of a thing changes, it will affect the shape of its twin in the other world. |
The style is 'old man' Japanese, so this is probably Sahasralah. Link tries going back to the Light World. There's a similar structure in the same place, and inside is a lever that floods a channel corresponding to the one in the Dark World... When Link returns to the Dark World, he finds the channel flooded, and can swim into the rest of the area. This temple has a lot of water, several more flooding levers, bugs that skim the water's surface, and annoying waterballs that can only be permanently destroyed with the Ice Rod or Ether Magic. After some minor puzzles to reach the big key, Link can open the big chest... |
||
| ボヨヨ~ン フックショットだ のびて ちぢんでボヨヨ~ン! 色々な物に さしてみよう! |
Booooing, it's a Hookshot. Extend, contract, booooing! Let's try latching on to all sorts of things! |
BOING! This is the Hook Shot! It extends and contracts and... BOING! It can grapple many things! |
The Hookshot will, like the Boomerang, stun some enemies, damage some (particularly useful against jellyfish and nearly everything else in this temple), and have no effect on some. Also like the boomerang, it will carry items to Link. The main use, though, is to hook onto various things—trees, stakes, skulls, statues, and so on—and pull Link across to them, even across pits. This lets Link travel deeper into the temple... Crossing more wetness, a door behind a waterfall, and a flooded room with a strong current leads Link to the boss's chamber. It's a large single-eyed giant-jellyfish-demon kind of thing, with many little puffs swarming around it. Link can't hurt it, but using the Hookshot will pull off the puffs one at a time, and Link can kill them when they're away from the main body. Once they're all dead, the demon-squid-thing goes ballistic, but it's also vulnerable now, and rather predictable. A few hits later and it goes down. Explosion, heart container, crystal. The second maiden is trapped in the crystal. |

| リンク あなたのおかげで 魔族の手から、のがれる事が できました。ありがとう…。 …トライフォースは、それに ふれた者の願いをかなえます。 その者が生きているかぎり…。 だからこそ、聖地におかれ 選ばれた者だけにその場所が 伝えられてきたの。 ところが、それがどこかで とぎれてしまったみたい…。 そして、再び聖地をみつけた のが、ガノンドロフと言う 盗賊だったのよ。 でも、幸いな事に彼は光の世界 へ帰る方法がわからなかったの …そう、思い出して。 あなたは、勇者だけが使いこな せるマジカルミラーをもってい るじゃない! ヘブラ山にあった魔法陣が 他にもいくつかあるの。 それを使って2つの世界を行き 来すれば、闇の世界にひそむ 魔物達も探しだせるわ! 盗賊ガノンドロフ…いいえ、 闇の魔王ガノンを倒せるのは あなただけ…祈っています。 勇者の行く道がトライフォースイ へと、みちびかれますように。 |
Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape from the clutches of the demon. Thank you... ...the Triforce grants the wishes of the one who touches it. As long as that person lives... For that very reason, it was placed in the sacred land, and its location passed down only among those chosen. However, that seems to have broken off at some point... The one who then discovered the sacred land once again was the thief Ganondorf. But, thankfully, he didn't know how to return to the World of Light. ...yes, think back. You have the Magical Mirror that only the Hero can master! There are several other magic crests like the one on Mount Hebra. If you use those to go back and forth between the two worlds, you can seek out the monsters lurking in the World of Darkness! The only one who can defeat Ganondorf the thief... no, Ganon the Demon King of Darkness, is you... I am praying. May the road the hero travels be guided to the Triforce. |
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! ...The Triforce will grant the wishes of whoever touches it, as long as that person lives... That is why it was hidden in the Golden Land. Only a select few knew of its location, but at some point that knowledge was lost... The person who rediscovered the Golden Land was Ganondorf the evil thief. Luckily, he couldn't figure out how to return to the Light World... ...Well, remember that you have magical powers, which only The Hero can make the most of! There are some other magical warping points like the one you saw on Death Mountain. By using them you can go between the two worlds and find the evils hidden in the Dark World. You are the only one who can destroy Ganondorf, the thief-no, Ganon, the evil King Of Darkness! May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce. |
