Editing dialogue text

[xMidnax]

Okay, I'm trying to edit some dialogue related Link in Zora Village, with the Zoras calling him a "mermaid", and I want to change it. However when I try to search for "mermaid" in the text editor, I get nothing.

What am I doing wrong? How do I edit the game's dialogue?

The game uses dictionary compression, and as of right now, there's no way to search for text using words that are in the dictionary. You have to play around and search for certain letters or words that appear unique to that dialogue. So basically, search for other words that appear and look at all the results. It's sort of hard to find what you're looking for but with trial and error you're likely to succeed.
