What is a text dump?
--------------------
A text dump contains all the text in a video game, ripped
straight from the ROM. I use a script to convert the ROM code
into formatted, readable text, in either TXT or HTML format.
Why is this useful? It is often useful, when theorizing about
Zelda, to have exact quotes handy. These text dumps put all
the text in the Zelda games at one's fingertips.

A word of warning though: internally, the ROMs arrange the
quotes in essentially random order. There is a little bit of
structure: for example, though one person's dialogue may be
split up into separate quotes, these quotes will generally
be all together, in order. But if you wish to find a specific
quote from the game, you will have to already know a few words
from the quote so that you can search through the entire text
dump. Any decent text editor should have a Search function,
and you'll need to use it to find anything specific in the
text dumps.


------------------------------------------------------
Where can I get the latest version of your text dumps?
------------------------------------------------------
If you downloaded this file off of a site like GameFAQs.com,
you might have an out-of-date version. This is because I only
submitted the text dumps to FAQ sites once, just so people
would know that these text dumps exist. Updated versions can
be obtained at my web site (The Legends of Zelda -
http://loz.zeldalegends.net) in the Emulation section.
Compare the revision date at the top of this document with
the one in the files on my site to see if you have the latest
version.


---------------------------
How do you make text dumps?
---------------------------
I include the following information for those who are curious.
If you don't understand any of it, just skip ahead.

The first step in making a text dump is to have a copy of the
ROM. Then, if you have a quote from the game, you can search
for the text. Newer games (like OoT, MM, and LA) use standard
ASCII values for raw text, so it is possible to find the text
using any common text editor. Older games (like LoZ, AoL, and
ALttP), unfortunately, don't use ASCII standards, so it's
necessary to do a relative search using a hex editor like
Thingy. Then you can make a translation table that will allow
Thingy to translate ROM text into standard ASCII text. (There
are many freeware utilities available that will help you do
relative searches and make translation tables.)

To make things even more difficult, some games compress, or
encrypt, the text. For example, in Oracle of Seasons the hex
value "02 0E" translates to "Twinrova." ALttP uses compression
and doesn't use standard ASCII values, so this is the most
difficult game to dump. OoS and OoA use ASCII standards but
have text compression. Fortunately, I already have TBL files
for both of these games, so dumping is not as difficult as it
could have been. ^_^

After you have found the text (and you're sure you've found
ALL the text), copy and paste all the text you can find into
a new file. This is what the DMP files on my site are: all the
text I could find, copied and pasted straight out of the ROM.
Once this is done, I wrote a PHP script to parse the DMP file
and translate everything into a readable format (TXT or HTML).
Making a program is the easiest thing to do in the long run
(though something more powerful than PHP is usually preferable),
because it takes a while to find out what all the codes in the
ROM translate to. Using the standard Find/Replace function of
a text editor is too much work if what you're searching for
constantly changes.

Have you heard
of the Flying
Rooster?  They
say it lived in
Mabe Village a
long time ago...
I wonder if it's
true...

Aaaah, Little
Marin... I want
her to come back
again...Her song
is the best...

I dreamed that
I turned into a
carrot last
night...  What
an odd dream...

Eh?  How can an
animal talk?
How?  Hey, I'm
just a rabbit,
so I don't know!


Ahhh!  It's her!
Little Marin!!

If you have no
courage,then
you have no
strength.
Gravestones
won't move for
cowards.

I'm not afraid.
I just decided
to wait at home.


This is my first
walk with you,
Link .

. . . .

This cliff will
be our secret
place.

Aren't you going
to say anything?


Oh how I love
pictures! Why
don't you take
a picture when
no one is
around? You can
call it . . .

You've got the
Blue Clothes!
Your damage will
be reduced by
half!

You've got the
Red Clothes!
Your body is
full of energy!


Red for offense,
blue for
defense. Which
do you choose?
   RED  BLUE

Are you sure?
   YES  NO

The fairy queen
is waiting for
you.

Do you have the
powder? If not,
you must go
back.

Our colors are
never the same!
If I am red, he
is blue! If he
is red, I am
blue! What color
is my cloth?
   Red  Blue

BOO! I am no
weakling! Your
pitiful sword is
no match for me!


I am sorry, but
this is the
Color Dungeon.
Only those with
the power of
color may enter.
If you can tell
who wears red
and who wears
blue, you may
enter.
Farewell.

Here is your
clue. Make
all the red
blue.

No,  no. Take a
closer look and
try again.

Don't tell
anyone.

Do you want to
read this book?
   YES  NO

New world of
color under the
5 gravestones.

  3^  4>  5^
  2<  1v
Try with all
your might. Open
a new path!
Whoever is
worthy receives
the power of
color. I wonder
what the world
of color is?

Welcome, Link .
I admire you for
coming this far.
I will give you
the power of
color. If you
want offense,
choose red. If
you want defense
choose blue.
Which power do
you want?
   RED  BLUE

You fool! Your
sword won't
work! Try
something else!

What a greedy
fool! You want
more power?! A
buffoon like you
might as well
give up and
go home!

Relax and close
your eyes.

I will now take
you out.

Blue is safe.
Yellow is
caution. Red is
danger.

Yellow is
caution. Red is
danger,Take
your time.

Blue. Start
over. Yellow is
caution. Red is
danger.

Hey, that looks
great! I'll call
it 'Link  Plays
With BowWow!'
Now get closer
to BowWow!

Grrrr!

Link , get
closer!

Grrrr! Grrrr!!

Much closer! OK,
I'm ready.
Smile!

Grrrr! Grrrr!!
GRRRR!

Ha ha ha! Do it!
Do it!  Do it
moooore! ... ...
Hunh?  No, it's
nothing... I
didn't mean it.

Not very good...
Eh?  What?  Did
I say something?
No, you're hear-
ing things...

Link , do you
always look in
other people's
drawers?

Great!  Dig it!
Dig it!  Dig to
the center of
the earth!!

Whew!  What a
surprise!

Ohh!  I'm sorry!
Are you okay?!
Link ?

Hey Mon!

You know me, I
like short names
the best...

It can display
millions of
polygons!

I definitely
need it, as soon
as possible!

Turn aside the
spined ones with
a shield...

First, defeat
the imprisoned
Pols Voice,
Last, Stalfos...




Far away...
Do not fear,
dash and fly!

The glint of the
tile will be
your guide...

Dive under where
torchlight beams
do cross...

Enter the space
where the eyes
have walls...

The riddle is
solved when the
pillars fall!

Fill all the
holes with the
rock that rolls,
this (+) is the
key!

If there is a
door that you
can't open, move
a stone block.

Make every block
design the same.
A new path will
open.

Part of the
floor is raised.
Tap the blue
crystal.

To defeat the
black monster
with the hard
shell, feed him
something ex-
plosive.

Poke suspicious
parts of the
wall with your
sword and listen
to the sounds it
makes.

If you can't
destroy a
skeleton with
your sword, try
using a bomb.

To open a
treasure chest,
use the pots
around it.

Hop on top of
the crystals to
move forward.

If you can't go
over the poles,
try throwing
things you have
in your hands.

Jump off the
floor above to
reach the chest
on the table.

To defeat the
monsters who
hold the key,
attack them from
a higher place.

If the statue
looks strange,
shoot it with
the bow.

Let's take a
picture!
   YES  NO

No picture?! Are
you pullin' my
leg?
   Yes  No way

What a bummer!

Beautiful! I'll
call this 'Game
Over.'
