I'm Wortsworth. My research specialty is ancient Hyrulean. And by ancient Hyrulean, I don't mean the text found in the Ring Ruins, but something different. It's what we call the language used at the time of Hyrule's founding. Our modern language is built on that foundation.

It's the same Hyrulean script, and yet it's so different from our modern language... I still have a lot to learn. Hm?

Don't tell me. Based on your statue, physique, and distinctive right arm... you must be Link. Am I right? Purah had told me so much about you.

These books are written in that ancient tongue. They'd look like gibberish to your average Hyrulean. Are you curious about ancient Hyrulean? I don't have anything to show you as things stand now.

Our sources of ancient Hyrulean are few and far between, so I haven't made much progress in my studies.

But I'm sure I'll someday have results posted and ready for all to see at the lab in Kakariko Village.

Ah, hello, Link. This rain is troubling. I hope it won't damage my documents.
