The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess introduces a new form of Hylian text that is a cipher based on the Latin alphabet. It translates directly to English in most cases, and occasionally to Japanese. The previous form of Hylian text, introduced in The Wind Waker, also makes an appearance in the Kakariko Village Graveyard.
