Hylia Serif
Hylia Serif is probably the “Breath of the Wild font” you are looking for.
It was designed by Artsy Omni and is derived from the text used in Breath of the Wild. It is not an exact copy of the text in the game, but it is very similar and includes several special characters that are not used in the game. It is a great modern replacement for the older “Triforce” typeface. You can learn more about Hylia Serif on its official website.
The Wild Breath of Zelda
The Wild Breath of Zelda font is also based on Breath of the Wild, but it mimics the damaged look of the Breath of the Wild game logo. This font was created thanks to the work of Chequered Ink.
Hylian Symbols
The Hylian Symbols font is an easy way to display and manipulate several symbols from the Zelda series.
The typeface includes 19 different symbols including:
- Triforce
- 3 Marks of the Goddesses: Farore’s Crest, Din’s Crest, Nayru’s Crest
- 6 Race Emblems: Hylian, Kokiri, Goron, Zora, Gerudo, Sheikah
- 5 Sage Emblems: Forest, Water, Shadow, Spirit, Light (Fire is not included)
- 4 Other Symbols: Triangle, Agahnim’s Eye, Shadow Temple (uncertain), alternate (outdated or incorrect) Sheikah Eye
This font is useful, but it is also very old. Some symbols are outdated or were always incorrect, but it’s a useful way to access the symbols easily.
Triforce
The Triforce font has been used in the Zelda community for a very long time. It’s based on the text used for the word “Zelda” in The Legend of Zelda logo that was first introduced in A Link to the Past.
This font is useful for logos or some small headlines, but it has some spacing issues and sometimes looks odd. Even so, there’s a lot of nostalgia for it among fans. If you don’t like how it looks in your project, try out Hylia Serif as a modern replacement.
Hylian, Gerudo, and Sheikah Language Fonts
Beginning with Ocarina of Time, many Legend of Zelda games have included text written using an in-game language known as Hylian. Five different Hylian alphabets have been used since 1998. Sometimes, the characters translate to English and other times the characters translate to Japanese. You can learn more about these languages at Zelda Wiki.
Hylian 64
The Hylian 64 font is based on Japanese and appears in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask.
Ancient Hylian
The Ancient Hylian font is based on Japanese and appears in The Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks.
TP Hylian
The TP Hylian font is based on English and appears in Twilight Princess.
This font has two versions because Twilight Princess was originally released on both the GameCube and Wii, and the Wii version was mirrored horizontally. The correct version of the font is the GameCube version (later reused on the WiiU), but many fans will be more familiar with the Wii version.
SS Ancient Hylian
The SS Ancient Hylian font is based on English and appears in Skyward Sword. This font was created thanks to the work of Sarinilli.
ABLW BOTW Hylian
The ABLW BOTW Hylian font is based on English and appears in A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes, and Breath of the Wild. This font was created thanks to the work of Plaguelily.
In addition to Hylian, The Legend of Zelda games also include languages for the Gerudo and Sheikah races of people.
Gerudo Typography
The Gerudo Typography font is based on English and appears in Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. This font was created thanks to the work of Sarinilli.
This language is notable because it appeared in Ocarina of Time in 1998, but Zelda fans did not realize it was a proper alphabet until it was revealed in Hyrule Historia.
BOTW Sheikah
The BOTW Sheikah font is based on English and appears in Breath of the Wild. This font was created thanks to the work of Sarinilli.
