Your race indicates the languages your character can speak by default, and you might give you access to one or more additional languages through your class or other features. Note these languages on your character sheet. Choose your languages from the table below, or choose one that is common in your campaign.

If a DM would prefer to use Hyrulean content in a more traditional Dungeons & Dragons setting, it is best if the Hyrulean languages below are replaced with their listed equivalent.
