“Malo” has another new tweet about Twilight Princess HD on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. We hear a bit more about Poes once again – this time for the new Ghost Lantern item.

Here’s the translated message:

“…It’s Malo. This is not a simple lantern… It’s called the “Ghost Lantern”, and it also detects the existence of Poes during day and will let you know about it…… so you can be like ‘It’s useless to hide yourself!’ Time is money… so use it well.”
