Hat Adult is an adult version of Hat Kid that was scrapped from the game.
Appearance
Hat Adult, of course, resembles an adult Hat Kid. She wears a woman's wool blazer with gold buttons, and a yellow scarf instead of a cape. Her hat is similar to the rare version of the kid's hat, only significantly shorter.
Role and Removal
Hat Adult appears in a brief playable section at the end of the playable Alpha and Beta, in a more realistic looking mafia town. All Hat Adult can do in this section is walk around. She cannot crouch, double jump, or dive. It is unknown whether or not Hat Adult was ever supposed to equip certain hats, as in the brief playable segment there are no hats in the menu. Jonas would later tell Zelda Universe in an interview in 2014 that Hat Adult would play a significant role, similar to Adult Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and told the interviewer that he hoped to reveal more about her soon. However, Hat Adult was never seen in any further materials, and ultimately never appeared in the final game. In an interview with Beta64, Jonas Kærlev explained that after a “time branching” mechanic was scrapped, the team conceptualized Hat Adult as a way to represent alternate timelines. The player would be allowed to play as her along with Hat Kid. However, it was a lot work to get Hat Adult working properly, and when they did and had her tested, playtesters responded negatively, and told the team they “missed” playing as the young Hat kid. After the Beta, it was ultimately decided that Hat Adult just didn’t work and, as a result, she was cut.
