Japanese Versions of Overseas-Only Text#

The following text was added to the game for overseas releases, to improve the ease and clarity of gameplay. As such, it can normally only be found in the foreign-language versions of the game, and no equivalent messages exist in the Japanese versions.

However, script files from the leak do contain Japanese text for these messages.

Tatl#

A few additional hints were added to Tatl for the English release.

Msg.	Japanese	English	Dev. Notes	Translation
1964	お面の力で　ニオイが見えるようになったわ・・・・早く、何かに入れてクスリ屋に届けましょ	The power of this mask allows you to see what you can smell... If it's possible, put the scent in something and take it to the Magic Hags' Potion Shop.	ブーさんのお面でニオイが見えるようになり（ビンで取るヒントに）（アメリカ版より　新規）	Able to See Scents With Mask of Scents (Hint to Put in Bottle) (New as of American Ver.)

This is said by Tatl when calling her if you Z-Target a scent while wearing the Mask of Scents. It's impossible to Z-Target the scents in the Japanese version.

0261	ココからなら　首領の部屋がよ～く見えるわこのくらいの鉄格子なら弓矢も通り抜けるはずよ！	We have a good view of their leader's room from here. And I bet if you needed to, you could shoot an arrow through these bars!	海賊の砦の矢で撃てる鉄格子（矢で撃てる　ヒント）（アメリカ版　新規）	Arrow-Hittable Metal Lattice in Pirates' Fortress (Hittable w/ Arrow Hint) (New For American Ver.)

This is said by Tatl if you stand around in the Pirates Fortress in the room where you shoot the beehive after the cutscene has played.

0262	どうも　この部屋　暗いと思ったら・・・・なるほどね！？アンタ　まだわからないの？	I thought this room was pretty dark...but now I get it. \!?! Don't tell me you still haven't figured it out?!?	ロックビルの壊して穴をあけるネタに　ヒントメッセージ（アメリカ版用　新規）	Hint Message For Opening Breakable Hole in Stone Tower (New For American Ver.)

Tatl says this in Stone Tower Temple when Z-Targeting a covered hole on the ceiling in the dark room with lava and Armos statues.

Msg.	Japanese	English	Dev. Notes	Translation
0263	ほらっ！宝箱にフックショットって使えたでしょ？	Look! Can't you use the Hookshot on that chest?	ロックビルのボスへ行く宝箱にフックショットを使うヒント（アメリカ用　新規）	Hint to Use Hookshot on Chest to Reach Stone Tower Boss (New For America)

This is said by Tatl in the Inverted Stone Tower Temple when Z-Targeting a chest that appears in the entrance room on the ceiling after stepping on a switch. It hints towards how to reach a nearby door in the room.

Msg.	Japanese	English	Dev. Notes	Translation
0264	あのタコを足場にすれば真ん中の柱に上がれるんじゃない？タコを固めればいいのよ！わかる？	If you could somehow step on top of that Octorok, I bet you'd be able to climb onto that central pillar. But the Octorok is so squishy and it keeps squirming around... There's gotta be something you can do!	グレートベイ内オクタロックのヒント（範囲で）（アメリカ版　新規）	Octorok Hint (In Range) In Great Bay (New For American Ver.)

This hint is given in the Great Bay Temple right after you beat Wart. It hints at freezing the Octorok to a block of ice using the newly gained Ice Arrows in order to reach the red valve, which is otherwise too high for Link to jump up to.

Msg.	Japanese	English	Dev. Notes	Translation
0265	こういう　ツルツルすべる場所ならゴロンで丸まれば、その場でダッシュできるわ！　やってみたら？	At slippery places like this, you can curl up as a Goron and roll your way across! Why don't you try it?	スノーヘッド内すべる床でのチャットヒント（アメリカ版　新規）	Tatl Hint at Slippery Floor In Snowhead (New For American Ver.)

This hint is given to you by Tatl in Snowhead Temple as you enter the room with a wooden bridge and several Freezards near the beginning, to tell you to curl up at the very beginning where the ice is so you get enough speed to jump across the gap in the bridge.

Signs#

Owl Statues#

These were added to accommodate the new system of saving at Owl Statues that was added for the US release. The first message is used when you talk to an Owl Statue to save the game, the second is used when you reload a saved game that was saved at an Owl Statue.

Msg.	Japanese	English	Dev. Notes	Translation
0C01	聖なる剣を持つ者よ時場所を越え我らは永遠に友となった	You can save your progress and quit here. When you reselect your file, my face will appear by your file name. This indicates that the next time you reopen your file, you'll resume playing at this very place and time with your current status. Warning: If you reopen this Owl File, then reset without saving at an owl statue, you'll lose the progress you've saved here... The next time you open the file, you'll restart at Day One with the status you had when you last saved using The Song of Time. Save your progress up to this point and quit playing? • No • Yes	大翼の石像剣で斬ったら　または斬った後サーチで（レジュームセーブ）二択	Statue of Soaring Slashed w/ Sword or Checked After Slash (Resume Save) Two-Choice
0C03	約束の地に戻りし聖なる剣を持つ者よ再び冒険（ゲーム）を中断したければ出会いの証を残した我に話しかけよ	Ye who hold the sacred sword... Ye have returned to the appointed spot. If you wish to interrupt your adventure (game) again, speak to me, the one that you have marked to prove your encounter.	セーブされた石像の前のリンクからスタートした時オートで表示	Starting from Link in Front of Saved Statue Automatically Displayed
