Author's Notes:
Your friends... What kind of... people are they? I wonder... Do these people... think of you... as a friend?
Oh, woe is me! This heavy heart
Goes out to those of the swampland,
Whose waters were poisoned
By the hatred of an imp…
However, there was one there,
Whom we will never get to meet.
The son of a butler to the king,
Still just a child! Oh, woe is me!
I plead, great goddess,
Hallowed be thy name!
Grant me another chance
To ease these people’s pain.
Hear the song I play…
Give ear! Give ear!
To the melody I sing this day.
Author's Notes:
What makes you happy? I wonder... what makes you happy... does it make... others happy, too?
Oh, woe is me! This heavy heart
Goes out to those of the mountain,
Whose warm home was frozen
By the hatred of an imp…
However, there was one there,
The hero of his people, who stood
Against the imp’s icy-magic, only
To fall to his death! Oh, woe is me!
I plead, great goddess,
Hallowed be thy name!
Grant me another chance
To ease these people’s pain.
Hear the song I play…
Give ear! Give ear!
To the melody I sing this day.
Author's Notes:
The right thing... what is it? I wonder... if you do the right thing... does it make... everybody... happy?
Oh, woe is me! This heavy heart
Goes out to those of the Great Bay,
Whose neighbors were depraved
By the hatred of an imp…
However, there was one there,
Who cared not for his failing country.
A musician who died in search
Of his lover’s children! Oh, woe is me!
I plead, great goddess,
Hallowed be thy name!
Grant me another chance
To ease these people’s pain.
Hear the song I play…
Give ear! Give ear!
To the melody I sing this day.
Twinmold by Sage the Poet
Author's Notes:
Your true face... What kind of... face is it? I wonder... The face under the mask... Is that... your true face?
Oh, woe is me! This heavy heart
Goes out to those of the canyon,
Who blamed gods for wrongs done
By the hatred of an imp…
However, there was one there
Who did not beg sleeping giants
For salvation. Taking his own life
From his daughter! Oh, Woe is me!
I plead, great goddess,
Hallowed be thy name!
Grant me another chance
To ease these people’s pain.
Hear the song I play…
Give ear! Give ear!
To the melody I sing this day.
Author's Notes:
Let's play good guys and bad guys... I'll be the good guy, and you be the bad guy...
Oh, woe is me! This heavy heart
Goes out to those of Clock Town,
Whose sky is being forced upon them
By the hatred of an imp…
However, there was one there,
Abandoned by his only friends.
Hidden behind a magic mask,
A sad little imp! Oh, woe is me!
I now understand, goddess of time,
Why I was brought to this place.
First drops a tear, then the moon.
Even in a world doomed to fade,
A song can still be played.
Oh, Hylia! Oh, Hylia!
The giants of Termina need you…
