"I'll get started translating right away. Hmm... Hmm...Oh! Yes! I see now what we have here! A firsthand historical account!"
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.
After part of the Zonai Ruins falls from the Sky, Wortsworth is in charge of investigating them. He says the stone tablet is inscribed with ancient Hyrulean, but will need to travel to Kakariko Village for his notes to translate it. He copied down the inscriptions and is heading to the village. This begins the Messages from an Ancient Era side adventure, where he discovers the fallen stone tablet is one of thirteen, and asks Link to take photographs of the other twelve for him to translate.

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
