ハロー!うるりらじいさんじゃ!わしらが暮らすのは、自然豊かな南の島「コホリント」。一度入った者は出ることができないという、不思議な島なんじゃ。山の頂にある大きなタマゴには、島の神「風のさかな」が眠っているという話じゃよ。 #夢をみる島 pic.twitter.com/6pbmqjSIko

Old Man Ulrira
Of course, he’s present in this remake of the GameBoy classic, and you can actually call him from any telephone booth across Koholint Island. Need any info about the island, including what you should be doing to progress in your quest? He’s your (old) man!
ちなみに、島でわしに何か聞きたいときは、お近くの電話ボックスから電話してくれ。絶対に電話で頼むぞ。 #夢をみる島 pic.twitter.com/BgeypJAluQ

Link
This is Link. It seems as though he was caught in a storm and washed up on Koholint Island. It is said that you’ll never be able to get out of the island once you’ve entered, but maybe you can help Link make it off the island…
ハロー!うるりらじいさんじゃ。彼の名はリンク。嵐に巻き込まれ、わしらの暮らすコホリント島に漂流してしまったようじゃ。さて、一度入ると出られないと伝わるこの島から、どうやって脱出するのかのう。 #夢をみる島 pic.twitter.com/VYGFbjTpJt

Marin
This is Marin, who helped Link on the beach. She is full of vitality, and the village is always filled with her singing songs.
そんなリンクを浜辺で助けたのが、このマリンじゃ。元気いっぱいの女の子で、村ではいつも彼女の歌声が聞こえてくるぞ。 #夢をみる島 pic.twitter.com/dYzg5lD6h1

Mysterious Owl
A mysterious owl that knows how to talk resides in this island. It seems to know so much about this island. Make sure to listen to what it says.
ハロー!うるりらじいさんじゃ!この島には、謎の喋るフクロウが住んでおる。話を聞くに、やけにこの島に詳しいのう。リンクよ、こやつの話はちゃんと聞いておくんじゃぞ。 #夢をみる島 pic.twitter.com/yhJRMFwA7l

Toronbo Shores
This is Toronbo Shores. It is the only beach on the island. Look at the blue ocean, white sands…and a lot of monsters!? I guess it’s not your typical beach.
ハロー!うるりらじいさんじゃ。今日は海の日ということで、島唯一のビーチ「トロンボ海岸」を紹介しよう。青い海…、白い砂浜…、そしてたくさんの魔物…。うむ、あまりくつろげないのう…。 #夢をみる島 #海の日 pic.twitter.com/ivIdBrtcYP
