“explaining”… lol… I know what you mean but I have to laugh a little at that :P
It’s pretty useless info even if you do understand it IMO.
These hint texts are definitely a flaw. legendsoflocalization.com/the-legend-of-zelda/ has some interesting discussion of how in several instances basically useful hint text got mangled into madness in translation.
Edit: specific link legendsoflocalization.com/…/first-quest/#insane-o… says that this isn’t a translation, it’s the tanslators freestyling for some reason, so it’s a mystery why the text is so cryptic
