Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to write in Hylian, as in Zelda Breath of the Wild?
The Hylian language is used in the game world Zelda, specifically in Breath of the Wild it is in the world of Hyrule. Hylian writing is similar to classical writing but replaces letters with Hylian symbols.

This alphabet is imperfect because it has duplicate symbols D = G, E = W, F = R, J = T and O = Z.
Uppercase and lowercase letters and punctuation are ignored. Writing the numbers involves writing the numbers in letters.
