Hey friends,

There will be more of these soon. The day after we launched this, life started throwing curve balls at us both.

I was recording videos to show the folks over at @zeldatranslations.bsky.social how I set up my databases and post quotes everyday, and I figured why not! Might as well make them public for everyone!

These are mostly technical/process.

I've been slowly cleaning #zelda 1 art so I can redo everything in the gallery with 2400-1200dpi scans (& add so much more than is there now!) & for a cleaned version, not the RAW, which kind of map do you guys like more? All the lines or less lines:

Original scans: archive.org/details/guid...

A map of Hyrule's overworld from Zelda 1. This has grid lines for each screen.

“The technological capabilities of the Sheikah at this time were advanced beyond the level of those of the Hylians. In the Kingdom of Hyrule, the sacred power of the royal family is their authority, and civilization itself has repeatedly declined and prospered, so the technology of the Sheikah can be said to be entirely over-engineered. In particular, the technology to operate huge structures using control devices was likened to the power of the gods, as it was able to defeat Calamity Ganon with its powerful energy. Because it was so powerful, people grew to fear it.”

The sage Rauru deemed the Master Sword the final key to the Sacred Realm. It is said that the Master Sword was wielded by a hero who traveled between two time periods. However, even Rauru himself believed this was merely a legend. After building the "Temple of Time" as the legend says, Rauru abandoned his physical form and retreated to the sages of the Sacred Realm. The secrets of the Sacred Realm were passed down to the Sheikah tribe for the time to come.

Come on a journey with me as we uncover the history of the Zonai and their relationship with the Goddess Hylia, as well as the Hylians as a whole.

For months now, I've built a folder in my Google Drive dedicated to my translations of pages and passages from #TearsoftheKingdom #MasterWorks.
Please, enjoy. I add more as I complete them.
