Trivia
- In the Japanese and original German and French versions of Link's Awakening, the Hippo Model is actually posing nude. She has a towel covering the lower half of her body, and what appears to be exposed breasts on her upper body. When Link walks in, she quickly pulls her towel up and covers herself. Nintendo of America deemed this as too inappropriate for American audiences, and as a result, removed her breasts and towel. This censorship was also carried over in the German and French versions of Link's Awakening DX.
- In Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch, the Hippo Model's design has been compromised to include her hourglass figure, but remain fully dressed. This is to insure a satisfactory parity for all regional releases of the game.
