{{ja-en

{{ja-en
|お前は、この先　多くの　苦難に会う。
|That is your fate.

{{ja-en

*うらむ = to resent, feel bitter

{{ja-en
|わかったかい？
|Did you get all that?
}}

{{ja-en
|それでは　ワシは　ひと足先に　行くとしよう。
|Well then, I shall go ahead.
}}
Think about the literal translation, it is not strange at all: ひと-one,足-foot,先-(the) front.

{{ja-en

{{ja-en
|オイ、リンク！　
|Hey, Link! 
}}

{{ja-en
|ちょっと　おまち！
|Wait a sec!

{{ja-en
|この先は　カカリコ村。
|Beyond this point is Kakariko Village.

{{ja-en
|ハイラルの姫には　会ったかの？　まだなら　お城へ　行きなさい。
|Have you seen the Princess of Hyrule? If not, I suggest you go to the castle.

{{ja-en

{{ja-en
|リンクよ、これは　お前にしか　できぬことだ。
| Link, this is something only you are able to do.
}}

{{ja-en
|必ず　やりとげるのだよ。
|be sure you accomplish this.
}}

*とける--to accomplish
* やる can be viewed as a casual version of する, which basically means "to do". In this case, it's being used in place of {{gloss|なし|成し to form/to build up}} in the expression {{gloss|成しとげる|なしとげる to accomplish/to carry through}} just to set a more casual tone to his speech.

== Kaepora Gaebora by Lake Hylia ==

{{ja-en
|この先が　ハイリア湖。
|Beyond this point lies Lake Hylia.
}}

{{ja-en
|神々の恵みの水に　満ちておる。
|Filled with water of the gods' blessing.
}}

*water of the blessing of the gods
*blessed water of the gods
*おる is olden version of いる


{{ja-en
|湖底に沈む　神殿は、　はるか　上流に住む　ゾーラ族が、　ゾーラの泉とともに　守っておる。
|The Zora tribe from the far river bed protect the temple that sunk to the lake bottom, and also the Zora fountain.
}}

*湖底= bottom of a lake
*沈む= to sink
*神殿= temple
*湖底に沈む　神殿は  = temple that sunk to the lake bottom 

*はるか= far away
*はるか 上流に住む　ゾーラ族が = Zora tribe who live far away at the riverbed

*I would like to break up this long sentence into more digestible pieces.

{{ja-en
|地図で　位置を　たしかめるなら、スタートで　アイテムモードにして、ΖやΕで　マップに切り替えなさい。
|If you want to confirm its location on the map, press START to switch to the Subscreens and (Z) or (R) to find the Map.
}}

Let us consider a simple sentence that is easy to understand, and then slowly add the details.

切り替えなさい　Switch to it

*マップに切り替えなさい Switch to the map　(に indicates target)
(Z/E)でマップに切り替えなさい Switch to the map with E/Z (で indicates the means)

*アイテムモードにして、ZやEでマップに切り替えなさい (go into item mode, and then) Switch to the map with E/Z (にする, here literally "cause to be in item mode", te-form is used to loosely connect two sentences)

*スターとでアイテムモードにして、ZやEでマップに切り替えなさい Go into item mode with Start, and then switch to the map with E/Z (で indicates the means)

*たしかめるなら: スタートでアイテムモードにして、ΖやΕでマップに切り替えなさい。(If you want to confirm, then): Go into item mode with Start, and then switch to the map with E/Z (なら makes the first sentence a condition for the second, but other than that, these are two independent sentences, do not get intimidated just because the sentence seems long now)

*位置をたしかめるなら: スタートでアイテムモードにして、ΖやΕでマップに切り替えなさい。(If you want to confirm your position, then): Go into item mode with Start, and then switch to the map with E/Z

*And adding the last piece finally yields the translation above.

Incidentally, remember that this is not what you should do when trying to read Japanese. This is an illustration of how you could break down a sentence to see why it makes sense. If you truly want to master Japanese, you need to do this intuitively, not consciously, the same way you do it in your native language.

*たどりつく= to arrive somewhere after a struggle
