In the Japanese and European versions of the game, the hippo is actually posing as a nude model. She has a towel around the lower half of her body, and her upper body has what appeared to be breasts. When Link walks in, she quickly pulls her towel up and sits down. This explains her response of "Go away!" when Link speaks to her in the American version. Nintendo of America deemed this to be too inappropriate for American audiences, however. As a result, the towel was removed and she was given a more unisex appearance. A patch was later developed to restore her towel and apparent breasts.[1]
