Hylian in Animal Crossing?

[Blues]

I was watching one of Josh's video journals, and I noticed something.



The letters on Lyle's desk are very similar to the Hylian text used in The Legend of Zelda! They aren't exact, more like a localized dialect of Hylian, but they are definitely inspired by Hylian. What does it mean?

 

[Prof Gallows]

It may just be Animalese.

 

[Blues]

It may just be Animalese.

Yet it still bears a striking resemblance to Hylian.

 

[JabuJabule]

I didn't catch that...very interesting. You gotta love Nintendo!

There are a few symbols that match up to the Old Hylian used in Ocarina of Time, but I can't translate it.

 

[Stevey Queen]

Lyle must have been born in Hyrule.

They also had those kind of letters on the "Re-Tail" sign, before it was named Re-Tail. I'm trying to find a picture, but Google Images isn't loading for me, so w/e.

That's why I'd guess it's something like a regional dialect. It is good to hear more confirmation, though. Which ones match up?

Lovemcqueen: Probably. A Zora mutant, maybe.

Enyeto: I remember that!

Maybe it's just Nintendo giving a "shout out" to LoZ, seeing as they ARE part of the same company

Yeah, probably. Still, it's really neat.

 

[LemyLekySama]

Ooh! Hope they put in more LOZ "shout out's" in NL!

It does look a lot like the Hylian alphabet, though if it is which game would it be from? I know OoT, WW, TP and SS all have different alphabets (I think). Animal Crossing takes place in the same universe as Hyrule confirmed?

Is there any Zelda furniture in new leaf?

There's the master sword and triforce furniture items and a full link outfit you can get as well as a wearable Majora's Mask. That's all the Zelda items I know of in the game

 

[Punchyleaf]

There's also Fi's mask and Midnas head piece
