Hylian Literature

Here are some examples of Hylian literature. One thing that makes Hylian writings stand out is the apparent absence of any rhyming or alliteration. Its use of seemingly tongue-twisting sentences and syllables is what makes Hylian writing unique. It is meant to be read aloud.


This is a common prayer said to the goddesses. It is relatively short and is usually said as a quick request for guidance.

Holy goddesses, creators of the world,
mothers of us all,
May your eyes watch over us and your
loving arms guide us.
Show the true path of
righteousness to us,
So we can join you in
heaven.
