Can anyone translate part of the word to Link's left? You can BARELY see it. Plus, it's upside-down. X_X

I was thinking that it was either "Farore" or "Courage," both of which end with an "e." But the last letter (which would be the one to the left if we're looking at it normally) doesn't look anything like a Hylian "e"...

So, I made a little picture to show what text we know already. The ones to the Left of Phi and Link say "Nayru" and "Wisdom" and to the Right it says "Power" and "Din".

Below Link, some of the text to the left is seen, and I assume there's text under his shield. The text to the left, the letter I circled, looks like an upside-down Hylain "L". I don't know if it actually IS an "L", but I can't decipher it.

That's all I got.

that is the end of the word "Farore" the rest is blocked by Link

...That last letter should be an "e" then, right? But it's not. It looks more like an "L," just like zeldahuman pointed out.

EDIT: Before the "L" looks like an "o"... And before that, it's either an "m" or a "u," the way I see it.

O,L,.jpg

I flipped the image and the last two letters are "O" and "L"... do we know any Zelda words that end in "OL"?

++EDIT++

It's hard to tell, but it looks like the letter before the "OL" is an "R"... so "ROL" is what we have, assume it's an "R".

So, I took black and highlighted the letters. It's "ROL".. so what Zelda words do we know that end in "ROL"??

Guys, even if it may look otherwise, I would think it would be safe to assume it just goes Wisdom, Nayru, Power, Din, Courage, Farore, right?

But can anyone tell me how the one to the left of Phi's head looks like Nayru? I mean I know it probably is, but from the translation I had on my first post, it looks like "Nehru" to me.

EDIT:
Maybe it's the Japanese syllable spelling in romaji for the names, especially since zeldahuman's conclusion came to "ROL". I'll look it up.

ARGH! This is hard. XD

I... can't think of anything. ;_; Maybe they just put that word in there?...

That's actually what I got when I first translated it, too. But I just decided that since it already had all the clues leading to "Nayru" (Wisdom, Power and Din), it was obviously "Nayru." :)

I got Nayru right from the Get-go. I didn't get "Nehru"... :S

++EDIT++
I went back and checked, it is "Nehru"...

So Vibed, you said something about Romaji Japanese symbols? Can You post these syllables?

Ahh, if you look at the 2nd and 3rd letters, they don't look anything like "ay" at all. XD

EDIT: You know what, I can't think of any Zelda word that ends with "-rol." I'm just gonna assume that it's some Japanese spelling of "courage" or "Farore" that I'm not familiar with... (Although, the Japanese name for Farore should be "Furoru." And then Nayru's is "Nēru"...)

Here's the japanese romaji for the names: Din - Din, Farore - Faroru, Nayru - Nēru.

Yes... Unfortunately, *sigh* that doesn't help us. ;_; The Japanese word for "courage" is "yuuki," right? (I know nothing about Japanese, so I have to look these up.) So it can't be that, either...

EDIT: Or maybe... Somehow, could that word be "Farol?" o_O

It's awesome how some Zelda games have hidden text on them like this one or WW.

Anyways, I didn't even mention the boxart looks sweet. I'm getting the Limited Edition.
