Now here's something that I completely forgot: Midna's voice is actually English that has been scrambled! This video has unscrambled some of her lines. She sounds really cute tbh, I think it would have worked just as well if they left it unscrambled.

WORT WORT WORT is GO GO GO backwards. It's actually really cute.

Code_Link · Feb 12, 2016

WOWOW! That's new to me! Awesome

Wow, that is some CSI enhance level shit.

BY2K · Feb 12, 2016

The sound of the slime dudes from The Wind Waker is two Japanese man arguing speed up and played backward.

Mediking · Feb 12, 2016

M...Mi....Midna-san...

Midna rearranged is admin

DorkyMohr · Feb 12, 2016

I wonder if it's the same thing with the Squidlings.

My Little Midna Can't Possibly Be This Cute

That's new to me. Really cool. I always thought that whenever she said something it seemed to be some edited voice but I never thought that her words actually meant something even in the context of the game. I expected it to be some gibberish just edited together to make it sound mysterious.

And for no reason I just watched the ending, recorded the audio in audacity and reversed the entire thing. Well, only when she says "rebase" (the word "Link" is in the subs and the last thing she says a bit later is subtitled "see you later") you can understand "see you in a few." I thought that was pretty cool.

Would be cool to hear what she says at the end. But they seem to have done more chopping and speed changes and not just reversing for most of it.

Still really cool fun fact I didn't know about. Makes my memories even more precious.

Cool to hear it unscrambled! Any idea who the voice actress is?

Cosmo Clock 21 · Feb 12, 2016

So Zelda has had voice acting in it after all. Guess that solves that debate, we can all go home now.

edit : oh you mean the games, not the character, thought you were being facetious implying fake spoilers like midna = zelda, nvm

That chuchu dialogue is absolutely hilarious

Yup, she hasn't done much voice acting though:

The Internet has taught me a lot about Midna

Vital Tundra · Feb 12, 2016

They should totally start doing voices for Zelda games. Even something as disjointed as an unscrambled voice actually works.

"Hey! Listen!" Was always infamous enough to end that debate.

OP is awesome and that's awesome. Gibberish>>>Language in Nintendo games. Just makes them feel more timeless for whatever reason.

Any idea what the Chuchu's actually are saying? That's what I'm really curious about!

AcademicSaucer · Feb 12, 2016

HeresSomeWeapons · Feb 12, 2016

This is pretty great, I hadn't seen this before. But it's a shame they don't have a "before" comparison also.

-Horizon- · Feb 12, 2016

Midna the best

"The man at the start says "At least I'm not balding" and the man near the end says "and looking like you are, people will think you're a monster"."

Getting a Twin Peaks vibe from this haha

megarockexe · Feb 12, 2016

She has more discernable lines in the Hyrule Warriors cutscenes. Most of it is still scrambled though.

ScriptedReality · Feb 12, 2016

Nice! I kinda wanna hear everything that she's said lol

Lights and Waves · Mar 10, 2016

Now as I'm playing the game, I swear I can hear her saying some of these things...

I'm slightly dyslexic and after a few hours of playing it in 2006 I actually worked a lot of these out.

scarlet · Mar 10, 2016

Never played TP. And I always think that her headpiece looks like she's flexing her arms

Not_Mario · Mar 10, 2016

This does make me wonder what's up with Fi's voice. After a quick search I haven't found any unscrambling of her noises so is she just straight up gibberish Hylian like Zelda's singing in that game?

Shahed · Mar 10, 2016

This is awesome. Makes me want to play this game again.

Best sidekick by far.

Ferrio · Mar 10, 2016

Stupid sexy Midna. It's like she's wearing nothing at all.

SOLDIER · Mar 10, 2016

Did anyone unscramble her lines from Hyrule Warriors?

Drilbit777 · Mar 10, 2016

Wow after all these years I just thought it was a made up language lol

The one minute left song is cleary saying "Itchy itchy itchy mercedes" and also something about Rosh Hashana.
