OB1, you noticed the hat eh? Nope, he didn't swallow Link to get it. That's what Kirby looks like every time he gets the sword ability. In fact the only Kirby game where he doesn't wear hats is Kirby 64 (I think that was my biggest beef, that they couldn't give a unique hat for each combo). Now, I think it's obvious that him having that hat for both the sword and bomb ability is essentially a Zelda tie in, but Link was never in those games.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
