These awesome covers were made by Beno.
I've been dreaming for over a decade about having a translation for this, because it's seriously one of my favorite Zelda works, and the Zelda fan, Kaialone (follow them on twitter,) just made my dream come true. They actually couldn't get a hold of me a few years ago but just worked on volume 1 for the Hyrule Fantasy anyway. This year, when I stumbled back online after being missing for a few years, unaware of their earlier email, they saw one of my updates and reached out to me again to let me know they had done some of it and were happy to keep going... Well, they just finished the whole Ran Maru series. All 4 volumes. I'm blown away. I am so excited. So, without much further ado, I'm going to post each chapter in a thread to make it easier to read.

If you haven't read the first book, start here though. The title of this post says volume 1 but it's basically volume 2 because it continues from an earlier book about the first Legend of Zelda game. The one above. Find the translation for Volume 1, for Hyrule Fantasy, the Original Legend of Zelda, here.
As a side note, but an important one: The reason we're not doing a scanlation right now is that these are likely going to be released in Ebook form by the original publisher and I am hoping people will buy those, (and now be able to read along,) which will then encourage the publisher to release all 4 volumes in actual book form. If they don't release these as Ebooks I will do the scanlations though.

???:
ひどい天気ばかりで 今年も作物はだめでしょうねぇ……
Doesn't seem like the harvest will be any good this year either,
what with how terrible the weather has been...
???:
村人達は 食べ物にも困っていますわ
The poor townspeople hardly have anything to eat.
???:
ガノンの手下の生き残り達があちこちで 暴れ出しているそうな
And apparently, remnants of Ganon's underlings are wreaking havoc all around the land.
???:
ええ… その仲間にくわわる人間もふえているそうよ……
Yes... And the number of humans who join them has been on the rise as well...

Eeek!!
Attendant:
まったく いやな 天気だわ
Goodness, what a dreadful storm.
Wampa:
ほんとに… 近ごろのハイラルは いったいどうしたのでしょう
Honestly... What in the world is happening to Hyrule these days?
Wampa:

Your Highness, we have brought your meal.

Wampa:
少しは めし上がりませんと…
You should at least eat a little...
Attendant:
この天気でろくな物はございませんけど…
Even if this weather does not give us a lot to work with...
Wampa:
あなたからもおっしゃってくださいな ワット卿
Please, talk some sense into her, Sir Watt.
Watt:
アア…ン！？
Wha...?!
Watt:
姫ハ考エゴトヲシテルノダ
The princess got a lot on her mind.
Watt:
ソコニ オイトキナサイ
Just leave it here, if you would.
Attendant:
ほんとですね あなた１人で食べたりしないでくださいよ
Very well, but please don't eat it all by yourself.
Watt:
オイラヒトリデコンナニ食エルカッ！！
You think I'd eat THIS much alone?!
Wampa:
どうだか
Oh, certainly.
Attendant:
姫さまも ご心配ね…
Her Highness also seems concerned...
Wampa:
ええ… ２つのトライフォースを 持ってしても
ハイラルの平和が保てないんですもの
Yes... Even though we possess the two parts of the Triforce,
we have not been able to maintain peace in Hyrule.
Attendant:
悩んでいらっしゃるのよ
It's clearly taking its toll on her.
Attendant:
おいたわしい…
She has my sympathies...

Zelda:

It is quite alright, Sir Watt. You may have it.
Watt:
オナカガスクト 人間ハ弱気ニナルト リンクがイッテタゾ
Link said that humans get sulky when they're hungry.
Zelda:
そう！？
Did he, now?
Zelda:
リンク
Link...
Link:
ボクはもっと 色んな世界を見てみたいのです
I would like to see more of the world.
Link:
でもきっと もどってきます
But I will definitely come back one day.
Link:
きっと……
Definitely...
Watt:
ハラガヘッテワイクサガデキヌトモイッテタ
He also said you can't fight on an empty stomach.
Zelda:
それは あなたでしょう ワット卿
That sounds more like you, Sir Watt.
Watt:

ゼルダ姫 ハイラルは思ったより大変なことになっているようですね
I see Hyrule is in an even worse state than I thought, Princess Zelda.
Zelda:
ええ… でも どうしてそれを！？
Yes... But, how did you know about this?
Link:
風のウワサもありますが
There have been rumors, but...
Link:

Billy:
これは…！？ ハイラルの王家の紋章
That's...! The crest of Hyrule's royal family!
Link:
いつの間にか こんなアザができて…
This mark suddenly appeared without me noticing...
Link:
それで 気になって もどってきたのです
I couldn't help but wonder about it, so I came back.
Link:
姫！！
Princess!!

Zelda:
大丈夫 驚いただけです
I am fine, I was merely startled by it.
Zelda:
というもの……
You see...
Zelda:
予言通りになってしまったから…
This is exactly what the prophecy foretold...
Link:
予言！？
Prophecy?!
Zelda:
ええ そうならぬようにと 願っていたのに…
Yes. Though I hoped it would not be the case...
Zelda:
こちらです
Here we are.
Zelda:
これは城が建てられて以来 開かれたことがないという扉です
It is said that this door has not been opened since this castle was built.
Zelda:
ここに 古代文字で書かれているのが その予言です
The prophecy is inscribed here, in ancient letters.

Zelda:
闇がハイラルをおおい 人々の心荒み２つのトライフォースの光曇る時
"When Hyrule is covered in darkness, the hearts of the people are tainted, and the light of the two Triforces begins to fade..."
Zelda:
戦士の掌の印にて この扉を開くべし
"Open this door, with the mark on the palm of the warrior..."
Zelda:
いくつかの試練をへて 大いなる眠りを破らん
"And through many trials, put an end to the great slumber..."
Zelda:
あとは… 戦士と王家の血を引く者以外は入るな……と
It also says... "Only a warrior and those who carry the blood of the royal lineage may enter..."
Link:
つまり この扉を開かねばならないほど ハイラルは危機に直面していると……
In other words, the crisis Hyrule is facing right now is so great that this door needs to be opened...
Zelda:
ええ…
Yes...
Link:
しかし どうやってあけるのか
But, how do we do that?
Link:
ん！？
Hm?

Me too? Aww...
Link:
あけてしまってよかったのですか！？ ゼルダ姫
Was it really alright for me to open it, Your Highness?
Zelda:
仕方ありません
We have no other option.
Zelda:
もう 私の力のおよぶところではないのですもの
This has already gone beyond what I can handle with my power alone.
Zelda:
それに…
And besides...
Zelda:
この奥に 何があるか 私も 知りたいのです
I would also like to know what lies beyond here.
