[SPOILERS]I went through Skyward Sword's English text dump and survived

Hello everyone, I thought I would try to complete this rather crazy personal mission of mine before today's HD release of said game.

Basically, I found utterly massive SS's English text dump:

and found quotes I've never seen in both my normal and Hero Mode playthroughs!

So, I attempted to hunt down all the quotes in game, as in try to witness such text in normal gameplay.

Of course, some quotes are impossible to see normally (ex: Fi's examination on the marine Blue Chuchu is impossible since Fi can't analyze underwater)

Keep in mind, if I used normal Wii hardware for this task, I would've taken more than a year, so a current emulator was a must for my convenience and sanity.

I've tried to organize my notes, but again, even with an emulator, took me months or rather multiple upon multiple playthroughs to go through everything!

Such a massive text dump stems from all the different paths to get to objectives.
Example would be Wryna sparking the Gratitude Crystal side quests.
By using the sole launching platform next to the Statue of the Goddess, players can fly over and avoid Wryna's "trap" indefinitely!
After the statue fall to the land below, Wryna escapes to her front door and changes her dialogue accordingly.

Another would be making Scrapper abandon its cargo by taking on another cargo request!
Afterwards, you can witness the complaints against Scrapper(and from Scrapper itself) not likely to happen on a normal playthrough!

As for storywise, try getting the Sacred Water BEFORE you first encounter Faron for alternate dialogue!

If anyone is curious about any quote, I can give the exact way to play to make that quote happen.


Despite my extensive research, I couldn't find every text dump quote in game.
From here on I'm listing my dead ends in the hopes that someone might figure out how to unlock these quotes:

002-System
Prevent Ghirahim from realizing his plan to resurrect Demise.


Defeat Ghirahim in the world of the past.


006-1KenseiNormal HINT
This is the Sandship. Long ago, it was
seized by monsters.

I have confirmed the object sitting
high on the main mast is a Timeshift
Stone. When activated, it will have a
dramatic effect on the ship.


006-2KenseiNormal OBJECTIVE
I lack the data required to perform an
accurate analysis of the current
situation.


006-3KenseiNormal ANALYSIS
There are no monsters currently
present. I conclude there is no
identifiable danger here.


Sorry, I currently have insufficient
data with which to analyze the
situation.


006-5KenseiNormal
Name and other information are
unknown, but signs indicate that
this individual is extremely aged.

I can verify that she has a strong
apprehension of impending crisis with
regard to the giant monster in this area
that is trying to free itself.


This is Zelda, your childhood friend.
Master [Link], she is also
the living embodiment of the goddess,
Hylia.

Though she had previously committed
herself to an ages-long sleep in order
to maintain the seal over Demise, she
has now awakened.


My apologies. I have no relevant
information on the subject in my
sizable memory.

I want the custard-bellied coward who
broke my baby girl's heart. It's drivin'
me crazy!

Times like this, a man just wants to
chop bamboo! You want to give it a
whack? It'll cost you 10 Rupees.
I'm in! Rules?
No, thanks.

Howdy, [Link]. You picked
a good time to visit.
Why? Daughter?

Howdy, [Link]! I was
hoping I'd run into you.
Why? Daughter?


121-AkumaKun
Oh, you're back! And it does appear
you've gathered more Gratitude
Crystals!

Oh, my! You've gathered 80 Gratitude
Crystals! If I'm not mistaken, that's all
the Gratitude Crystals in the whole
wonderful world!

Thank you! Thank you ever so much!

Please accept this final gift with all
of my gratitude.


122-Town4

(CROO?)

What?

(DOVOS?)


200-Forest
Kweee-hee! I am Bucha, the Kikwi
elder.

You must be a master woodsman if you
managed to spot me through my expert
camouflage, kwee.


Master [Link], you should
be aware that I have calculated an
80% probability that a sacred flame
lies beyond this lake.


Now, there is a face I know. Hey, bud!


201-ForestD1
I will explain about your newly
acquired Hook Beetle.

Use the Wii Remote to pilot it remotely.
This item's strong jaw can cut thin
ropes or threads and even deliver a
blow to smaller objects.
The jaw power has increased, and it
can now carry light objects.

For detailed instructions on using this
item, press to ready it for takeoff,
then press [2].


No one's beatin' me to all the sweet
loot piled up in this place!


Let's return to the sky once more
before continuing our search. The bird
statue outside can take us back up.


If you can't pass through here, you'll
just have to jump over the top of the
wall.


203-ForestF2
Her Excellence is currently out
and about.

Out and about!
Out and about!


300-Mountain
Gyaah! Sneak attack! Hey, where'd all
the lava go? Now the road's open
again! You won't get away with this!


Whoa! You scared me silly! You can't
just start digging right above my head,
you know?

But I get where you're coming from.
You never know what you're going to
find when you dig, so it's impossible to
stop!

Rupees are the most common treasure
you'll dig up, but sometimes you might
even score Eldin Ore or some hearts!

So if you run across a hole and you've
got the time, dig, dig, dig!


303-MountainF2
Oh, hey! We meet again. How have you
been, bud?

I rumbled over here 'cause I heard
someone had spotted Goddess Cubes
in the area.

You may have already found some,
but I got a feeling there are some
others hidden away around here.

You might think about searching for
them yourself when you get the time.


I have got a hunch there are still
Goddess Cubes on this mountain.

You should see if you can find them.


Hey! Are you here looking for
Goddess Cubes too? Nice work getting
past that hot spot back there, bud.

The heat back there did not bother
me a bit, but these flames right
here are another matter.


304-MountainD2
Well, ain't that the lowest of the low!
And here I thought I was bein' polite...


Maaan... Why can't I just do one thing
right?! What a lunkhead!


400-Desert
Tumbleweeds sometimes roll across the
sand in Lanayru Desert and other
places.

Tumbleweeds are used as a material to
upgrade a variety of items. You can
collect them with a Bug Net.


Master, I have important information
for you. The beast you face has a
sealing spike lodged in its forehead.

You must not leave this place until you
have successfully restored the seal
that restrains this beast.


500-CenterField
Hey, [Link]! The machine's
loaded and ready to bring the boom!


When you want me to back you up with
a big blast, just send me the signal
with [d-pad up]!


You stay safe out there!


501-Inpa
Ah, [Link], I'm glad you are
here. Groose has been waiting for you.

He stands outside by his catapult.
Go speak with him.


503-Goron
THAT IS IT! One of the talking statues
the ancient texts mention! There is no
mistaking it!


No need to be shy, now! I can see
the excitement on your face, bud!
Oh, all right, I will tell you!
