The Story
About Hylian
Hylian is the written language of Hyrule, seen on shop signs, shrine walls and Sheikah technology across The Legend of Zelda. The script has evolved across eras, the modern form used since Breath of the Wild is a clean, geometric alphabet that maps directly to Latin letters.
That means your words can be written exactly as a Hyrulean sign-painter would. Type below to inscribe your message in the script of the goddess Hylia.
- The modern Hylian of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is a Latin-derived alphabet.
- Older games used syllabaries based on Japanese kana instead.
- Fans have decoded in-game signs to find jokes like shops labelled “General Store… probably”.
- Sheikah text in BotW is a separate, simpler glyph system used on ancient technology.
