Today’s Zelda: Twilight Princess HD tweet once again focuses on the Zora tribe. But while yesterday’s message was more about the race in general, this latest one is about the Zora Armor.

Here’s our translation:

“..It’s Malo. These clothes were specially made by the king of the Zora tribe, if you wear it you’ll be able to breathe underwater as well… You’ll understand it when you try to wear it, but you must have also known that you can now swim easier than before…”

We’ve already seen the collector’s edition guide cover for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. The standard edition cover is attached above.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Collector’s Edition guide is currently $14 off on Amazon. The standard edition is $7 off.

Another new Twilight Princess HD tweet has been posted on the series’ Japanese Twitter page. Today, “Malo” talks about the Zora tribe and shows off some art.

Here’s our translation:

“…It’s Malo. This is the battle mask worn by the Zora tribe… but there are more variations than I thought. Were they in bad terms against the Goron tribe in the past…? Many of them were used specifically for raids, but on the contrary I think they look more conspicuous…”
