If you’ve played Hyrule Warriors, you’re probably aware of the fact that a fairy speaks on Link’s behalf. This makes sense since he doesn’t talk in the Zelda games. But Toon Link, a new addition in Hyrule Warriors Legends, never had a fairy. The developers solved this issue with an interesting approach.

Aryll basically takes on the same role as the fairy for Toon Link. During battle, she’s able to speak for the legendary hero. This is done through the powers of the Pirate’s Charm. You can see this briefly in the video embedded below.

Yesterday, the Japanese Zelda Twitter account began sending out new messages to promote Twilight Princess HD. There’s another post today, though this time it’s more about the series in general. Along with the timeline image above “Malo” wrote the following:

“…it’s Malo. This is a rare article brought by the pops with mustache… (note: likely Aonuma) So according to this, this story is the era of victory of the Hero of Time. The Hero of Time? …I don’t know the details, but why is everyone wearing green clothes? …if they’re of the same brand. That’s gotta be really good product appeal.”
