Legend of zelda minish cap library books12/12/2023 ![]() ![]() And the pun makes even more sense when you realize that たらいとホース and トライフォース (the actual word for Triforce) look quite similar when translated to Hylian. You may remember from The Wind Waker that the Fishman mistakenly referred to the Triforce as the “Triumph Forks.” Well, apparently the Japanese name for the Triumph Forks is たらいとホース, which - you guessed it - also translates to “bucket and hose.” So it’s a cute visual pun for those who understand Japanese as well as a callback to a silly moment in a previous game. ![]() It would be perfectly understandable for one to think that it’s a simple translation error, but as it turns out, this bizarre title was completely intentional. However, there is one very odd translation that stands out above all the others: Bucket and Hose. If the spines are translated from Japanese to English, most of them reveal standard titles that one would expect to find in a library, such as Ancient Civilizations, Flower Encyclopedia, and Philosophy. If you’re not familiar, the Hylian writing system in this game is the same as that of The Wind Waker, where the symbols correspond to Japanese kana. While we can’t read any books ourselves, shrinking down to the size of a Minish will allow us to read the titles on some of the spines. ( Note: Most of these Easter eggs come into conflict with the timeline from Hyrule Historia, so for the purposes of this article, I will only be looking at the games in terms of when they were released chronologically.)įirst, let us head to the second floor of the library, where our good friend Sturgeon from The Wind Waker is hanging around, waiting for an opportunity to restock books on the shelves. It involves an essential sidequest where you must obtain overdue books from three residents of Castle Town, but if you take a little extra time to explore, you will be rewarded with some interesting Easter eggs to quench your thirst for knowledge of the Zelda universe. But unlike the towns I’ve lived in, which had at least one school library and one public library each, the only noteworthy one I’ve encountered in the Zelda series is the Royal Hyrule Library in The Minish Cap. There’s just something so satisfying about finding the perfect book and tucking yourself into a cozy nook to unlock the secrets inside. I’ve loved libraries ever since I was a little kid. From time to time, we’ll also look at Nintendo’s past to unearth some facts about our favorite company. In our studies, we’ll explore each game’s development, curiosities within the rich lore of the franchise, and the impact it has had on our culture. Don't know how to show your support?

How will this help us find the Temple of Droplets? We have been tasked with finding missing library books. EDT find out if we find all the books for the library and get to the next dungeon. That poses an issue, as we can't swim until we find the flippers. It appears our next temple to explore is a water dungeon but we haven't found the flippers yet. We have to find these books as the reward for gathering them will, eventually, open the way to the temple of Droplets. We also started a side quest, needed for progression, as we became library cops, tasked with locating missing library books. ![]() We also found a vital item in the Fortress of Winds, the Mole Gloves, and that opens up quite a lot for us since there’s plenty to dig up in Hyrule. During the last Minish Cap episode, we made our way through the Fortress of Winds and defeated the boss that resided there. Tonight on the Stevetendo show, we're jumping back into our Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap playthrough. ![]()
