Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass intro *plus* translation

HOOOOOYYY! At this point in time, everyone and their trusty Navi-Tatl-Tael fairy has probably charted expeditions online to watch some videos of the full (Japanese) version of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Just like there was a boom of Halo 3 videos when the beta finally wired into the public, Phantom Hourglass videos are sprouting up everywhere like blue on the Great Sea.

Today, we have another video, this time showing the actual intro sequence from the game. And not only that, but a fan’s translation of the text! Although it was uploaded to YouTube the other day, we wanted to save this for the weekend for some leisurely content. Uploader jokkir found the translation in some site (which we can’t quite locate), as posted by someone named Kudaku.

Now, now. We warn you as always: what you are bound to see below CONTAINS SPOILERS. Especially if you haven’t played Wind Waker. (As an aside, I’m currently re-playing the previous title – on the Wii, no less – for a refresher course before I embark on my Phantom Hourglass journey; some of you might want to follow suit if you haven’t yet) The first part of the intro recaps the previous installment, while the second part of the video seems to pick up immediately after the events of Wind Waker.

Get your compasses, telescopes, and sea charts out! Make yourself comfy aaand… curtain up!

Pic 1 – A Story from a little while ago…

  • One Day, there were pirates, whom the leader was a little girl
  • Her name was Tetra, and she was a very beautiful Tomboy Girl
  • Tetra and her followers, were on a journey exploring the wide ocean

Pic 2 – One day, Tetra stopped at an island and met a boy

  • And then, after alot of things, they journeyed together

Pic 3 – During the journey, Tetra was taken in by a myterious light

  • Her appearance changed to a beautiful princess
  • Amazingly, she was, of a destroyed country’s…
  • Hyrule Kingdom” Princess Zelda

Pic 4 – However,with a surprise, a mysterious man appeared

  • And kidnapped Princess Zelda!
  • The myterious person was after Hyrule’s Holy Power
  • That power, he was planning for something evil…
  • That boy went after Princess Zelda to rescue her…

Pic 5 – Sailing the ocean, scaling the mountains, it was a long, long, journey

  • Inheriting great power, the little boy became a brave man…
  • The finishing blow, amazingly beat that evil force…
  • The kidnapped Princess Zelda was saved

Pic 6 – At that time, looking for new land, Princess Zelda, the brave man, set sail with the pirates

*Appears to pirate*

Blue Bandana Pirate:

  • So how is it, my legendary picture book that I made
  • “Tetra was actually Princess Zelda!” I did a good job didn’t I?
  • Hey Link! Why are you sleeping?

Tetra:

  • Liiiiiink!
  • Liiiiiink!

*Tetra comes down*

  • This isnt the place to be playing around!
  • Do a good job keeping a look out, got it?
  • My goodness, he’s so sovenly!
  • Defeating Magic Users, and saving me, you wouldnt think of him as a brave man, would you?

Red Bandana Pirate:

  • PRINCESS ZELDA!! We’re almost at the place in the ocean now-

Tetra:

  • Hey! I told you didnt I? Dont call me Zelda!
  • Call me Tetra or Boss like you’ve always have
  • And more importantly!
  • This is the sea that’s rumoured to have the Phantom Ship appear, isnt it?
  • Look for ships like that and confirm it properly

Blue Bandana Pirate:

  • We should stop
  • This is the place where alot of ship go missing, isnt it?
  • It has to be the Phantom Ships work –

Tetra:

  • That’s right Niico! and the ship that passes through here is–

Blue Bandana Pirate:

  • Everyone is scared of that pirate ship, so they’ll go back
  • *shivers*
  • For me… ghosts are my weakness

Red Bandana Pirate:

  • But Boss…
  • From what we heard from the last ship, this is the “Ocean Kings, Great Phantom Ocean”
  • In which he rules the sea, is what they said, isnt it?
  • That phantom Ship roamsthis sea and…
  • Why do boats go missing here?
  • If there really is a Phantom Ship here…

Tetra:

  • Dont say such sovenly things!
  • The bottom line is a Phantom Boat does not roam around here
  • All it is are some nasty pirates doing horrible things, that much is obvious
  • And i’ll expose their identity
  • I’ll teach them there are rules to be followed in the ocean
  • One top of which, if there really is an Ocean King and Great Phantom Ocean, that would be too suspicious

*Get’s all foggy*

Blue Bandana Pirate:

  • WHAAA!!! See.. See…
  • It’s as if the air is saying that the Phantom Ship is coming out
  • Let’s stop going around in a suspicious place!

Tetra:

  • Dont say such stupid things!
  • To see the world – taking a short cut does not exist!

Red Bandana Pirate:

  • It’s a ship!

*Phantom Ship comes*

Blue Bandana Pirate:

  • It-it-it came out! It’s the Phantom Ship!
  • As I thought! The sea is cursed!

Tetra:

  • Geeze Niico you’re so sovenly arent you? It’s not that kind of ship

Blue Bandana Pirate:

  • But this looks like the rumoured Phantom Ship!

Tetra:

  • Intresting… maybe there is treasure inside!
  • I’ll expose their identity!

*Tetra Jumps in the boat*

*Tetra is in a blueish, purplish ball*

  • Save me link… save me…
