Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Our adventure begins/Dialogue

A friend speaks to us

Japanese

ヤッホー、りんく！わぁーっ、妖精ね！

English

Hey Link! Wow, a fairy!

Japanese

やっと、リンクのとこにも妖精がやってきたんだ！よかったネ！

English

Finally, a fairy came for you! That's great!

Japanese

なんだかサリアまでうれしくなっちゃう！

English

Saria will be happy!

Japanese

これでリンクもりっぱなコキリ族の仲間よネ！

English

You're now just like your Kokori friends!

Japanese

え？でくの樹サマのご用なの？スゴイじゃない！

English

Huh? There's a task from the Deku tree? Isn't that wonderful!

Japanese

デクの樹サマとお話しできるなんて！

English

You get to speak with the Deku Tree!

Japanese

アタシ、ここでまってるからでくの樹サマのところへはやく行ってあげて！

English

I'll wait here, and you go to the Deku Tree's place quickly!

• まってる is the spoken contraction of まっている. We will be seeing this contraction spoken a lot throughout the game.

Mido speaks

Japanese

なんだ、＂「妖精なし」！デクの樹サマになんの用ダ！

English

Oh, it's "Fairyless"! What kind of task from the Deku Tree!

Japanese

妖精もいない半人前のくせに…アレ？

English

In spite of being inexperienced without a fairy you...is that?

Japanese

い、いるじゃん、妖精…なにーっ！？デクの樹サマに呼ばれたって？

English

a, a fairy...whaaaat!? And you were called by the Deku Tree?

Japanese

なんだよっ！なんでこのミドさまじゃなくてオマエなんだよっ！

English

What! Why wouldn't he called me, but you!

• Mido thinks quite highly for himself to attach さま at the end of his name. Quite the pretentious fellow, isn't he?

Japanese

お、おっもしろくねーっ！！オイラはみとめねぇゾ！オマエなんてまともな 「そうび」もしてないジャンか！(1)

English

Is, isn't this interesting! I don't approve of this! You don't even have the proper equipment!

ねぇ is slang for ない.

Japanese

剣（けん）と盾（たて）ぐらいもってなくちゃ　デクの樹サマのお手伝いなんてできないぜ！

English

Without at least a sword and a shield, you can't help the Deku Tree!

Japanese

ま、オイラもまってないけどナ…

English

Well, I'll be waiting..

Japanese

ここを通りたきゃ剣と盾ぐらい「そうび」してきナ！

English

Come back with a sword and shield for equipment!

Japanese

フン！

English

Humph!

Notes

• (1) I don't trust my translation, because Mido seems to be stating a fact, but I don't know how to translate it without it becoming a question...
