Hyrule Historia Book: More Translations
Posted on December 21 2011 by Mases Hagopian
Yesterday we reported on the first translations available for the Hyrule Historia Japanese book. We are surely going to be seeing more scans and translations over the next couple of days, as the book is now available in stores over in Japan. Until then, the folks over at New Nintendo have translated a second page from the initial batch of scans that were posted at History of Hyrule. Of the two pages you see in the image to the left, the translation covers the page on the right side. You can see a large version of the translated page, as well as the translation itself after the jump.
Period of the Hero of Time (Child Era):
Twilight Princess:
Dark Clouds Threaten Hyrule
Meanwhile, the Hyrule Kingdom, with Princess Zelda’s knowledge of future events from Link, the Hero of Time, accused Ganondorf of allowing the destruction of Hyrule.
Several years later, Ganondorf, the dreaded demon thief who had acquired evil magic, was to be executed at last.
The Arbiter’s Grounds and the Mirror of Twilight
In the Arbiter’s Grounds, Ganondorf was executed by six sages. However, Ganondorf was elected to not die by the Triforce of Power, and killed one of the sages. Panicking, the sages used the Mirror of Twilight to exile Ganondorf in the Twilight Realm.
At this time the sages were given the mission by the Gods to protect the Mirror of Twilight.
However, Ganondorf’s malice went with him into the Twilight Realm, which threw the Twilight Realm into disorder.

History of the Twilight Realm
In ancient times, the people were deeply religious and the world had long been at peace. But, eventually there was conflict over the Sacred Realm, Hyrule. Among the people, those appeared who excelled at black magic and with their super powerful evil magic tried to govern the Sacred Realm.
The Gods sent the four Light Spirits, who then sealed away the Fused Shadows. Additionally, they used the Mirror of Twilight to exile them to the Twilight Realm so that they would never be able to interact with the World of Light. The people living in the Twilight, came to be called the Twili.

Demon Thief Ganondorf
Carrying the proof of the Triforce of Courage, Ganondorf acquired evil magic. This time axis’s Ganondorf, who thought the Triforce of the Sacred Realm was untouched, concluded there must have been some disturbance since Link returned home with the Triforce of Courage.
The Sages
More information of this time’s sages like their names are unknown. From the emblems depicted on the sage’s clothing they are known to be sages of light, forest, fire, water, shadow, and spirit.
Ganondorf’s Malice
Ganondorf’s malice increased from his wicked heart and hatred.
Our friends over at History of Hyrule have ordered a copy of the book and will be getting their copy shortly. Once they have it in hand, we’re sure to see scans shortly after, unless somebody in Japan gets them up earlier. I ordered mine as well, and will likely do a video review or collection video once mine arrives. Stay tuned as more news develops in regards to this highly anticipated book.
