A minimal Zelda walkthrough in Minza

This page will eventually contain a minimal walkthrough of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, written entirely in Minza. The idea for this project came to me when I found Zelda walkthroughs in Dutch on sites such as Hyrule's zevende tempel and Kokiri Forest. I started a collection of Zelda walkthrough links in various languages, and after a while it occurred to me that this would be a good "translation" project for Minza. I created a new character for myself, Miezdiai ("Teamouse" in an early version of Lindiga), and started taking notes. It was obvious from the beginning that this would be a huge project, so I decided to do a very minimal walkthrough. I won't be including things like the locations of Gold Skulltulas, heart pieces, fairy fountains, or anything else that's optional in the game. I won't even mention the compasses and the dungeon maps. I'll probably skip Lon Lon Ranch and the Gerudo Training Ground entirely. I might include a few things that aren't strictly essential if they happen to be in a convenient area, and if they make the game significantly easier (such as the magic upgrade or an extra bottle). But in general, the plan is to limit the walkthrough to only the parts of the game that are essential in order to finish it. No one would actually play the game this way, but it should keep the length of the text down to a manageable level, considering the early stage of development of the Minza language. Perhaps once I've used Minza for a while, I'll go back and do a more reasonable walkthrough. Here is the first part of the walkthrough: Kokiri Forest.

Nizlo łix öyxat. Sevo war tenekat ngukitexi nakot yn tenimu Łat Šengasat Nakot. Sevo ferevi xalem növat lenat.
