Template:Character Mr. Write is a character in Link's Awakening.[1]
Biography
Mr. Write is as a lonely letter-writer who sends countless letters to various people, but never gets any replies.[2] He lives in a house on the border of the Mysterious Woods.[3] He is part of the game's Trading Sequence. Fittingly, the item Link delivers to him is a Letter from Christine, a resident of the Animal Village.[4] He gives Link a Broom in exchange, seemingly because he has nothing better to offer.[5] When the letter is delivered, it is revealed that it is a love letter, and that Christine has enclosed a photograph.[6] Although Mr. Write believes the photo to be of Christine herself, it is actually an image of Princess Peach from the Mario series.[7] This is a reference to long distance relationships, since she is lying about what she looks like and Mr. Write believes he is writing to a beautiful woman.[8]
Mr. Write owns an orange Bird (also the color of Christine's bow) while Christine owns a green bird (also the color of Mr. Write's hair).
