Found the canon on Tri's gender in TLOZ:EoW
Trivia, for the record, as I'd wondered about it here before:
As you may know, Tri is the companion character in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom: a floating ball of primordial golden energy, a bit bigger than a softball, with some immobile black markings that suggest a face (but may actually be characters in a language, or just stripes, spots, whatever Tri's kind has), and a tail (or ponytail) of triangles that measure out Tri's magic. While the in-dialogue evidence for Tri's gender and/or sex, if any, is scant and conflicting, one of the quest log screens uses "they/their" for Tri (Tri uses "I/my" when speaking). That's canon enough to make a call on which pronouns to use for the character, until/unless other evidence comes.
(Translation is often a lingering and fascinating issue in Zelda games. It's the whole focus of![[youtube.com profile]](https://youtube.com/favicon.ico)
