Zelda: Twilight Princess HD tweet (2/24/16)
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 8 Comments
The Japanese Zelda Twitter account continues its tweets about Twilight Princess HD with a new message from Malo. Today, the topic is the Gale Boomerang.
Here’s our translation:
“…It’s Malo. A boomerang that generates a tornado the same time it’s thrown, huh… It can pull items and spin windmills, so it’s handy indeed. …Hey, don’t use it inside the shop, okay? If you break my goods you’ll have to compensate for it in double.”
