+ | Should include a graphic of this... it shows the words "THE HYRULE FANTASY" in small print to the upper left of ゼルダの伝説1 in large print, with the 1 shown extra large to the right (the 1 isn't included in the original Japanese (FDS) or North American (NES) releases). The North American release has the words "THE LEGEND OF" in place of "THE HYRULE FANTASY" and the word "ZELDA" in place of "ゼルダの伝説" (which by itself in Japanese literally means the full "Legend of Zelda"). | ||

+ | * This man is speaking Kansai-ben. This is probably invoking at least one of several stereotypes of people from Osaka (the most well-known subdialect of Kansai): they tend to be perceived as rude, loudmouthed, boisterous, and mercantilistic. Kansai-ben speakers also tend to be perceived as funny, because many comedians are from Kansai. So an Osakan (or the Hyrule equivalent) rudely demanding that you buy something is probably funny for the same reason the Rich Texan Guy from The Simpsons is funny. | ||

Latest revision as of 04:29, 6 April 2024
This game was originally known in Japanese as 『THE HYRULE FANTASY ゼルダの伝説』 when released on the Famicom Disk System in 1986, and then as 『THE HYRULE FANTASY ゼルダの伝説1』 (note the explicit "1" added to the name) when it was re-released in Japan on the Famicom cartridge system in 1994.
Due to size restraints in the original game format, all Japanese text is in katakana only (not counting the title screen graphic of course). Kanji and hiragana versions of words may be included below for educational purposes.
Title screen[edit]
Should include a graphic of this... it shows the words "THE HYRULE FANTASY" in small print to the upper left of ゼルダの伝説1 in large print, with the 1 shown extra large to the right (the 1 isn't included in the original Japanese (FDS) or North American (NES) releases). The North American release has the words "THE LEGEND OF" in place of "THE HYRULE FANTASY" and the word "ZELDA" in place of "ゼルダの伝説" (which by itself in Japanese literally means the full "Legend of Zelda").
Whereas other versions use "PUSH START BUTTON", the original Japanese FDS version reads: Bメンヲ セットシテクダサイ = Please switch to Side B
Items[edit]
These are listed under the heading of "ALL OF TREASURES" and scroll by after the intro above. (The kanji are not used in the game.) Changed to "ALL TREASURES" in later versions of the game.
Kanji | Kana | English | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
ハート | Heart | ||
命の器 | イノチ ノ ウツワ | Container Heart | I believe this is the only Zelda game to use the name "Container Heart". All other Zelda games appear to use the name "Heart Container". The name in Japanese literally means "Container of Life". |
妖精 | ヨウセイ | Fairy | |
時計 | トケイ | Clock | |
ルピー | Rupy | Changed to "Rupee" in later versions of the game. | |
5 ルピー | 5 Rupies | Changed to "5 Rupees" in later versions of the game. | |

Continue / Save / Retry screen[edit]
If you run out of hearts while playing, you'll be presented with the following 3 options:
- ツヅケル -CONTINUE-
- オワル -SAVE- (Lit: End)
- ヤリナオス -RETRY-
Choosing "ツヅケル -CONTINUE-" will either put you back at the very start of the overworld if you're not in a dungeon, or back at the starting room of a dungeon if you died inside one, with only 3 hearts (6 hit points) full.
The option "ヤリナオス -RETRY-" will quit the game without saving.
Dialogue[edit]
Starting Cave - Old Man with Sword
- 一人 literally means "one person". However, when 一人で is used it has a strong connotation of "alone". In this context it can also be spelled 独り. 自分で has a similar but distinct connotation.
Old Man with White Sword and Magical Sword
Old Man - Warp Zones
- ゆく is just a variant of いく that is particularly associated with old codgers.
Old Man - Secret Cave
Old Man - Money-Making Game
- かい is a variant of the question marker typically used by men. It is gentler and friendlier than using か, which tends to be abrupt when used with the plain form.
Old Man - Secret Caves
- In other words: pay up!
Old Man with Letter
Old Woman
Old Woman - Medicine Shops
- This can be parsed one of two ways: "Buy some medicine and go" (more naturally expressed as "Take some medicine with you"), or "Go, [being in a state of] having bought some medicine." This latter parsing is where the idea of "before" comes from in our chosen translation.
Old Woman - Under Waterfall / Cave, South of the Lost Woods
- In an earlier version of this translation, we did not have the context of this sentence and misinterpeted ただでは as a phrase meaning "I will get my revenge", because that's the EDICT entry for that phrase. Remember: it pays to pay attention to context!
Old Woman - Under Waterfall / Cave, South of the Lost Woods, when not given enough money
Old Woman - Under Waterfall, when paid the right amount
- Here doubling of 上へ merely emphasizes it; an idiomatic translation would be something like "way up".
Old Woman - Cave, South of the Lost Woods, when paid the right amount
Old Woman - Under Waterfall / Cave, South of the Lost Woods, when given too much money
Shopkeeper
- This man is speaking Kansai-ben. This is probably invoking at least one of several stereotypes of people from Osaka (the most well-known subdialect of Kansai): they tend to be perceived as rude, loudmouthed, boisterous, and mercantilistic. Kansai-ben speakers also tend to be perceived as funny, because many comedians are from Kansai. So an Osakan (or the Hyrule equivalent) rudely demanding that you buy something is probably funny for the same reason the Rich Texan Guy from The Simpsons is funny.
- In Standard Japanese, the te form of 買う (かう) is かって. In Kansai-ben, 買う is still かう, but its te form becomes こうて.
- なんか is short for 何か.
- や here is Kansai-ben for よ.
Shopkeeper - Secret Shops
- でっせ is Kansai-ben for ですよ.
Old Man - Secret Caves, Red Potion or Life Container
- 方 here means to select among two options.
Moblin with Rupees - Secret Caves
- "Moblins"(モリブリン) are common enemies in the game, but if you find their secret caves they'll give you money.

持たぬ = 持たない
Old Man - Level 9, 1st Quest

ハイラル ノ エイユウデス
