The book originally saw a limited release in Japan in Dec. 2012, commemorating The Legend of Zelda’s 25th anniversary. 8 months later, it was announced that the book would be brought to the English-speaking world by Dark Horse Comics. In the intervening time, a few other translators and I embarked on a fan translation project. The results are what you see below. Because of the announcement of the official English release, the fan translation was never finished. For the most accurate version of the translation, and the missing content, please pick up a copy of the official book. I’m credited in the official translation as Aria Tanner.

The Official Zelda Timeline, Now With Added Detail

These fanbooks are a dime-a-dozen in Japan. Every anime, movie, and video game even half successful gets one from what I can tell. Besides the only two people whose word is law on Zelda are Miyamoto and Yoshiaki Koizumi. I would even make an exception for Takeshi Tezuka since he's worked on so many games in the series and was second only to Miyamoto in constructing the lore of the Zelda 1 and 2 from which everything after is based on, right down to the Sheikah clan symbol. Besides, it makes much more sense to see the way it was before this third timeline (even if I have supported the integrity of there being a mysterious third timeline in Ocarina of Time in the previous Kotaku article). In my opinion it goes more or less exactly like this image. Cue the Imprisoning War which was originally going to be Four Swords Adventures before the story was changed at Miyamoto's intervention of not wanting it done that way.

Welcome to The Zelda Project. The Dark Tribe: Ancient Enemy of Zelda and Skyward Sword. The Dark Tribe.

The Dark Tribe: Ancient Enemy of Zelda and Skyward Sword

In my experience, it seems that most of the time Zelda fans don’t know what the Dark Tribe is. It’s a name that’s been repeated several times in Zelda history since A Link to the Past where it is believed to have been first mentioned. Throughout the series, references to ancient tribes, tribes of evil, or tribes that have dealt with shadows and darkness have happened frequently. Some fans have speculated on the nature and role of this group for a long time, as more and more games reference increasingly similar tribes. I’ve always been fascinated with this “Dark Tribe”, and within the last couple of months I’ve done extensive research into the different references to them or groups that could be the same tribe. The History of the Dark Tribe As I have already said, the “Dark Tribe” is believed to have been referenced many times throughout the series. As far as I know, the first real reference to what has now come to be known as the Dark Tribe was in A Link to the Past.

Zelda Legends - Multimedia - Fonts

I have available here fonts that will make text look the same as it does in some of the Zelda games. Most of these fonts require a PC and True Type font support. InstallationGetting a font to work can be a little tricky. The basic idea is to download the zip file and unzip the font. It will usually be named with a .ttf extension. UsageOnce the font is installed on your system, you should be able to change the font of your text in any text editing program.
