Editing Zelda: Ocarina of Time/The Great Deku Tree speaks/Dialogue


== The Great Deku Tree: ==

{{ja-en
|ハイラル王国に広がる深き森…
|In the kingdom of Hyrule in a deep, spreading forest...
}}

{{ja-en
|その森を守り続けてきたワシを人はデクの樹と呼んでおった…
|I, who continues to protect this forest, am called the Deku Tree. 
}}

* 守り続けて　Means "continuing to protect" or "keep on protecting" You can use 続ける in any verb, just take off the ます　stem of the verb and add 続ける. 食べ続ける "Keep on eating", 読み続ける "Continuing to read". 

* おった　is the past form of おる, which is the modest form of　いる　

* 樹　is pronounced, and mean, the same as 木. 樹 is being used to elevate the Deku Tree, similar to the word great tacked on in the English version. He's not any old 木 but a 樹.

{{ja-en
|この森にはコキリ族という者たちが住んでおる.
|In this forest lives a tribe called the Kokiri.
}}

* コキリ族と云（い）う者たち means the people who are called the kokiri. と云（い）う can be used between nouns　to explain the name of the noun, like so "レッドロブスターと云うレストランに行きました。" "I went to the restaurant called Red Lobster".

{{ja-en
|彼らはそれぞれ自分だけの妖精を持っておった
|Each one has their own fairy.
}}

{{ja-en
|じゃが…たったひとりだけ妖精を持たぬ少年がおったのじゃ…
|But.. There is one boy who does not have a fairy...
}}

* じゃ is "slang" for だ. Apparently, じゃ is stereotypical elderly talk, and is not common outside of anime and video games. 

{{ja-en
|ナビィ…
妖精ナビィ、どこじゃ…
ここへおいで…

|Navi
Fairy Navi, where are you...
Come here...
}}

{{ja-en
|おぉ、妖精ナビィ…
|Ooh, Navi...
}}

{{ja-en
|このワシの…デクの樹の言葉を聞いておくれ
|Listen to my... to the Deku's Tree's words.
}}

* 言葉 can be translated as language, words  or dialect. It is easily seen by context that 言葉 means words. 

{{ja-en
|お前も感じておろう？
|Do you feel it too?
}}

{{ja-en
|この世に満ちた悪しき力を…

}}

{{ja-en
|このコキリの森は、命の源…

}}

{{ja-en
|人の侵入をこばむことで外の世界をも守ってきた…

}}

{{ja-en
|しかし…
|However...
}}

{{ja-en
|この強大な悪しき力の前では今のワシはまったくの無力… 
|Right now, I am completely powerless before this mighty evil power.
}}

{{ja-en
|どうやらあの妖精を持たぬ子が立たねばならぬ時がきたようじゃ。
|It appears the time has come for that fairyless child to rise.
}}

{{ja-en
|あの子こそ、このハイラルを善き方向へみちびく者…
|That child alone shall be the one to lead Hyrule to a better path...
}}

{{ja-en
|さあ、ナビィよ…
|Now, Navi.
}}

{{ja-en
|あの子をここへいざなうのじゃ…
|Call that child here.
}}

{{ja-en
|ワシに残された時はもう…多くはない… 
|My time is almost..there is not much left.
}}


{{ja-en
