Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s devs weigh in on which Link smells the worst



Ever needed to know which Hyperlink smells the worst? The devs behind The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have the reply.


There are such a lot of questions concerning the lore and the world of Zelda that may very well be requested and answered. What occurred to the Twili after Twilight Princess? Did Ocarina of Time Hyperlink die a tragic demise? How does time journey even work? None of that issues, although, as now we have the reply to crucial query in maybe all of Zelda historical past: we now know which Hyperlink smells the worst.


Alright, this is not one thing that most individuals care about, however I really like inane little issues like this, so it means the whole lot to me. There are fairly just a few Hyperlinks all through the Zelda sequence, so certainly considered one of them should come out on high because the one which simply actually ought to take a bathe. And in keeping with an interview with Wired (thanks, Kotaku), Zelda sequence producer Eiji Aonuma and Tears of the Kingdom director Hidemaru Fujibayashi have their very own takes on which Hyperlink stinks probably the most.


Aonuma really shared that he thinks the newest Hyperlink, i.e. Breath of the Wild’s, has the potential to supply probably the most B.O. Aonuma talked about the Barbarian armour that Hyperlink can put on, which is made up of bones and furs. “That is likely to be type of smelly,” he stated, making notice of its “wild animal odour aroma.” Fujibayashi had a unique tackle it, as an alternative citing a barely older Hyperlink: the one from Twilight Princess. “There are some scenes in Twilight Princess the place Hyperlink engages in sumo wrestling with the Goron tribe,” he stated. “I think about he’s fairly smelly in that scenario.”


Although in the end, as smelly or not smelly as any of the Hyperlinks is likely to be, Aonuma did have one final thought on the subject: “Truly, Ganon is likely to be the smelliest, if I am serious about it.” Whereas that a part of the interview is kind of foolish, the entire thing is value a learn, because it goes into why they determined to return to Breath of the Wild’s world.


That is simply one of many many essential questions which were requested with the current launch of Tears of the Kingdom. There are different urgent ones too, like are you able to pet the canine (the reply may upset you, however followers are discovering artistic options), and why is Ganondorf so sizzling?
