Yeah, I sent him another email.
I think I have the answer this time too. It actually dawned on me a few minutes after I made that previouis post.

"Apparently you can read modern hylian, but can you read old hylian"

That has two meanings. One meaning is "Apparently you, Drag, can read modern hylian", etc, whereas the other meaning is "Apparently, it's possible to read modern hylian, but can old hylian be read too?"

What lead me to this conclusion is that the image doesn't contain any modern hylian. It's all old hylian. The phrase he tells you to translate just has a different mapping to English letters.

That and I did some reading about hylian, and got what I found in my previous post.

In addition, one of his responses to me was "I'm not sure if you fully understand what is being asked of you."
*ASKED* of me? And yeah, you know how subtle his hints can be, I think that was a hint. I think he was trying to hint to me that he wanted me to answer that question.

So I did. I'm just waiting for his response now.

Alright, I think I'm damn close to the answer, but the answer I gave him was still missing something.

So it looks like "Zelda freak knows more than he tells" might have nothing to do with step 5's answer after all.

He wanted us to answer the question in the image, which was "Apparently [it is possible to] read modern Hylian, but can [old Hylian be read]?"

And yeah, modern Hylian is readable, and so is old Hylian.

That's pretty much what I told him. He told me that I hit the nail right on the head, about that question, but he says I'm still missing something, and that I need to think the hint (which is "There is more to the image than comes to mind") and apply it to step 5.

Edit: The only way I can think of at the moment to link the hint "there is more to the image blah blah" to the image is by indicating that the image contains more info than you actually need.

Anyway, I sent another email with this addendum.

STEP 6 GET!

Edit: Unfortunately, it's been requested that I remove this step.
Edit: But fortunately enough, due to popular demand, I am able to repost this step.

Here it is:

5834 01430 5834 78510

Yes, it's a bunch of numbers, no he didn't give me anything else.

Yo is that really step 6?

What did the confirmation email say?


What was the answer?
Did you check to see if the email had any hidden messages? Like messages in white that blend with the background?

That's all he gave me. And a "You are now on step 6!". That's it.

Hey drag, If you win remember the vow we sort of made among everyone on this board. If you win, you post the rom only on this site, this board.

I said I was going to share the rom with everyone.

And besides, it'd eventually wind up everywhere anyway, even if it was only distributed amongst here.

I dunno if I should just freely give that out. I mean, unless I'm wrong, step 6 is the last step. I don't know how we came to that conclusion, but it makes sense.

Either way, rest assured, "Zelda freak knows more than he tells" has *NOTHING* to do with the answer.

Atleast, tell me what the last 5 numbers were in a PM. So I could help you get the answer to the step. Plus, step 6 isn't the last step. I got email when i had to email them the answer to step 4 to get the confirmation email so I could be a bit less confused about step 5. It show all the steps in order. and there was a Step 6:????, Then a Final Step:????.

I was certain there were only 6 steps because of what Okibi said on the BS Zelda forums.

And congrats on solving step 5 Drag

As for the steps, there are 6 total.

FINAL I referred to is receiving the rom, as in the final part of this contest.

It's up to everyone if they want to share the info they know. I'm allowing everything to be shared.

By the way, there is an end date.

The contest ends 4/25/2007 with or without another winner. For those who are trying, HURRY UP!

That is two weeks from today. If, of course, a ROM actually exists.

i think i might have it. I tried seeing if there was a mathematical thing behind it. I multiplied 5 by 8, 3 by 4. Then, answers from those i multiplied together to get 480. same with the next except for with diferent numbers. and you come out with zero. the next one was 480. the last one was zero. I tried www.ratedo.projectzero.com/480.php and it seems there might have been a page under that address.
