A reader admits to having unorthodox style in Legend Of Zelda video games however nonetheless implores Nintendo to make a sequel together with his favorite character.
I all the time really feel a bit neglected when individuals are discussing their favorite Zelda video games. I acknowledge that A Link To The Past, Ocarina Of Time, and Breath Of The Wild are all classics however that’s not the identical as being your favorite and for me the one I’ve all the time loved essentially the most is Twilight Princess.
I totally recognise that I’m biased in the direction of it, as a result of it was the primary one I ever performed. I suppose it’s like your favorite James Bond or Doctor Who, the place you possibly can’t assist being hooked up to the primary one you see, even in the event you later settle for that they’re not essentially the perfect.
I perceive, in concept, that Twilight Princess is a bit too reliant on copying Ocarina Of Time however that didn’t imply something to me as a result of I didn’t play that till years later, and even after I did it didn’t appear that comparable. So I’m not embarrassed to say it’s nonetheless my favorite and an enormous a part of that enchantment is the character Midna.
Although it’s not her true type, Midna is a type of furry imp kind character for a lot of the sport and has some actual angle, notably firstly of the sport. Quite a lot of fundamental characters in Zelda might be form of bland and it’s often solely the aspect characters, with a lot smaller roles, which have any form of character. But Midna’s not like that.
She’s humorous, sarcastic, suspicious, and condescending however in a very entertaining method that makes you want her however not fully belief her. By the top of the sport, she and also you, and Zelda, have all grow to be buddies however there’s nonetheless an charisma with Midna, the place you don’t fully know her motivations or what she’s considering.
Even if my emotions about Twilight Princess are uncommon, I don’t assume anybody would argue that Midna isn’t among the best issues in regards to the sport… so why hasn’t she been seen once more?
Zelda video games have fairly a couple of recurring characters however nobody from Twilight Princess has ever been introduced purchased into the rest and the one different video games Midna has ever been in is Smash Bros. and Hyrule Warriors.
What actually annoys me although is that Midna’s music, or at the least what I consider as her theme tune, was performed within the Tears Of The Kingdom trailer but it surely was only a purple herring. She wasn’t within the sport and there have been no references to Twilight Princess or the Twilight Realm in any respect, so far as I ever noticed.
So, they have to’ve recognised Midna’s recognition, even used the tease of her presence to promote the sport, however then did nothing with it. I’m not saying she wanted to be In Tears Of The Kingdom however I actually want she could be utilized in one other sport.
After Zelda, lastly, acquired her personal sport I’d completely love a Midna spin-off. Tingle acquired two so I don’t see why a personality that individuals truly like wouldn’t do as properly.
I do know Nintendo doesn’t care about continuity as a lot as followers but when Twilight Princess is in a specific timeline, then why not construct that out and present why it’s totally different to the others? Anyone’s that overwhelmed the sport will find out about Midna’s enigmatic remaining phrases and I’d positively prefer to see what she was considering with that.
We’ve had a direct sequel to a a lot older sport earlier than, with A Link Between Worlds, which additionally handled increasing on an alternate world solely hinted at within the authentic. I’d like to see this strategy with Twilight Princess. It doesn’t should be a sequel when it comes to gameplay, they might make it one thing totally different and distinctive, however I wish to see Midna come again and study one thing in regards to the realm she is answerable for.
