The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening gets its "YAHOO!" back

Yahoo!

GN Version 5.0

Here's a small bit of Legend of Zelda trivia for you. Back with the original release of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, there was one old lady character who spouted "YAHOO!" has her catchphrase. When we got to the 3DS VC release of the game, Nintendo had yanked the "YAHOO!" and changed it to "HELLO!" and other words. This is probably because Nintendo was worried about the Yahoo! web service provider taking issue with the word due to their trademark.

Well, even if that was the issue, Nintendo has decided that they're good to go with the use of "YAHOO!" again. The old lady character has had her "YAHOO!" exclamation added back in for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Switch. A small change, but nice to see the game come full circle.
