Appearances
Link's Awakening
Grandma Ulrira is a participant in the Trading Sequence. She works so hard that her broom is worn down to the handle.[1] When Link brings a new Broom from Mr. Write to her, she becomes very excited and asks if it is for her.[2] If he refuses, she snaps that he should sweep the whole island.[3] If Link gives it to her, she thanks him and gives him a Fishing Hook in return, which she claims to have found while sweeping near the river bank.[4]
Naming
The character is referred to as Grandma Ulrira in The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia. In the 2019 Remake of Link's Awakening, she is renamed to Grandma Yahoo.
Trivia
- In the release of Link's Awakening DX for the Nintendo 3DS, Grandma Yahoo's dialogue was slightly changed. Instead of greeting Link with "YAHOO!" , she says "HELLO!" or "YIPPEE!" This change did not persist into the 2019 remake for the Nintendo Switch, where her dialogue once again matched the original's.
