Description I was a bit hesitant to share this because I've never really done anything like it, but I figure some LoZ fans might find it interesting and fun, so here it is. I noticed that A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes, and Breath of the Wild all use a different Hylian script from the Hylian in Skyward Sword, but couldn't find a workable font for it so I...sat down and made one.

I used the chart for "Sixth Hylian Script" on the Zelda Wiki page  as a reference, so there's only A-Z, which I duplicated so that the correct characters should show whether capitalized or not. Some of the characters are repeated, as per the information from the wiki. Should information for stuff like punctuation show up, I'll try to update the font.

This Hylian script is slightly different from SS Hylian, and I included a sample sentence to compare and contrast at the bottom of the preview here: from top to bottom I have the sentence in Verdana, Skyward Sword's "Ancient" Hylian (which was made into a font by Sarinilli and can be found here ), and the "sixth Hylian script" (font files are named "AlbwBotwHylian-Regular").

-------------------------

General Info

-font download is free

-font contains characters A-Z (upper and lower cases) based upon reference of "sixth Hylian script"

-file download has a .ttf and .otf file together in a compressed folder (most computers should be able to open this with ease); both file types were included in case one worked better depending on the computer

-this is not an adaptation of the script, I tried to remain as true to the image reference as possible, though I didn't rip the characters from any of the games myself; credit for the reference image goes to the Zelda Wiki users Conzuh and HylianKing (see file history here )

-the copyrights to this Hylian script belong to Nintendo; usage here is arguably fair use in that the font is non-commercial, it does not significantly impede the copyright holder to sell the games this typeface appears in, the typeface is largely unaltered with any alterations done to make it a workable font, and this is not a derivative work. Should the copyright holder request, these files will be removed from the internet.

-in line with fair use, usage of this font should be non-commercial (personal use only)

-because I don't own the typeface I can't really limit how this font spreads, but since I put in the work to make it a working font please consider linking back here, if only as a citation
