"I'll get started translating right away. Hmm... Hmm...Oh! Yes! I see now what we have here! A firsthand historical account!"

— Wortsworth gets very excited.

Wortsworth is a researcher who can be found in the Emergency Shelter beneath Lookout Landing. He talks about his research, which is in the ancient Hyrulean language.[1] The ancient Hyrulean is the basis for the modern language, but it would look like a bunch of gibberish to the average Hylean.[2] Wortsworth himself hasn't made too much progress in his studies as the source of ancient Hyrulean are few and far between.[3]

Wortsworth will also talk about the Zonai Survey Team's three big ideas.

  1. "It's the same Hyrulean script, and yet it's so different from our modern language... I still have a lot to learn. Hm?" — Wortsworth, Tears of the Kingdom
  2. "Don't tell me. Based on your stature, physique, and distinctive right arm... you must be Link. Am I right? Purah has told me so much about you. I'm Wortsworth. My research specialty is ancient Hyrulean. Any by ancient Hyrulean, I don't meant the text found in the Ring Ruins, but something different. It's what we call the language used at the time of Hyrule's founding. Our modern language is built on that foundation. These books here are written in that ancient tongue. They'd look like gibberish to your average Hyrulean. Are you curious about ancient Hyrulean? I don't have anything to show as you as things stand now. But I'm sure I'll someday have results posted and ready for all to see at the lab in Kakariko Village." — Wortsworth, Tears of the Kingdom
