Hippo

The Hippo is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. A talking hippopotamus, she resides in Animal Village. The Hippo, being a model, is in the process of being painted by Schule Donavitch during the events of the game. If Link approaches her at this time, she asks him to leave as she must sit still to not mess up Schule.

While the Hippo plays a very minor role in the overall story arc of the game, her character was once a much more scandalous figure; in the Japanese version of the game, the Hippo was a blatant nude model. She had vivid breasts and a towel that she would pull up when Link entered the studio. Because the localization team found this innapropriate for younger audiences, the idea was scrapped in the North American version of the game; the Hippo's breasts and towel were removed.
