    When Link meets Midna: Midna, WHY?!
    When Zant almost kills Midna: Zant, WHY?!
    When Midna leaves Link and breaks the mirror: Nintendo.......WHY?!?

    Midna is, in my opinion, the best companion in all of Zelda. She has an amazing character arc, shes so snarky and playful, and by the end of the game it ripped my heart out to see her leave. I mean come on, the whole game is named after her! Midna and Link's friendship is absolutely amazing, and so deep, which is why Midna is my favorite companion, and my favorite Zelda character

      @drolnogardgames4335 4 года назад +11

      Personally, as far as Fi is concerned, she would be a good companion, if only she had some level of emotion to her before the literal last moments of the story. From the beginning until then, she hardly seems to care about Link at all, actively breaks the fourth wall to tell you the batteries in your remote are low, and when she *is* able to give you tips for how to do something, it's in an emotionless, analytical manner accompanied by pointless statistics.

      @darkyami12141 4 года назад

      @@drolnogardgames4335 personally I think she would be more liked among the fandom if she had a character arc. Maybe have it that she starts off as the Fi we already know, emotionless having all her functions, then as the story progresses, perhaps she either begins to know more about herself (she could've been some sort of entity before becoming the Master Sword) or she learns how to feel as the story goes. And it's in minute detail in her dialogue that the player sees that she's less analytical and more, well human-like. Maybe even having some dialogue with Link and show how much she's learning to be more of a character and less as a mechanic. That way the ending scene before locking Fi away feels more sad and powerful. I dunno, that's just me though

    Fi. Purely because of her design and ending. I cried when I heard her jingle in BotW. Knowing for all these years that shes been alive in that sword for all this time. Perminantly stuck in a state of locking demise away but due to the curse only deleting demise 99.99999999999% as the curse prevents that 0.00000000001% from being wiped from existance.
    Somehow Fi will expose this to a Link or a Zelda and will begin to work on a way to break the curse for not just Fi. But for the land of Hyrule thats been in a constant loop due to the curse.
    Ganon isnt the enemy, Demise is.
    And through this it will be the *legend* of *zelda.* not link. We just play as her bodyguard as she slowly works a way to end the curse. Something that not even the goddess herself could do. Only Zelda.
    Also Fi is best waifu. Don't @ me.

    I adore Linebeck; but if I made a similar list I wouldn't be able tp choose between him and the Zelda of Spirit Tracks. She's very involved in the plot; a close friend of Link's, very proactive despite lacking a body, is determined to help in any way she can... All in all, she is the BEST written Zelda of the franchise, outstripping Zelda/Sheik, Zelda/Tetra, SS Zelda, and even BotW Zelda.
    Plus the duet she performs with Link is one of the greatest music pieces in the entire FRANCHISE, in my opinion

    Most of the companions are great anyway, but two of my favourites that were unmentioned are ST Zelda for helping Link through most of the game as a cutesy possessed armour and Groose for changing from petty bully to stalwart ally.

    Midna. Always.
    And other than her, my favourite companion in game was my BotW Horse. We explored that whole world carving a path forward together. You felt reliant on them to get around, they reduced you out of sticky situations when whistling for them to come make a getaway, and a tangible attachment/bond that was not scripted to happen.

Although the game wasn't well received linebeck had one of the best character arcs of any zelda companion and id love to see phantom hourglass remastered in future.

  • @lnsflare1
    @lnsflare1 4 года назад +3

    #1 is Twilight Princess' Midna, of course, and for all the obvious reasons.
    #2 is Twilight Princess Link, because he was helping Midna with her quest as much as was helping him with his.
    #3 Also Twilight Princess Link, but this time the wolf version because he is also Midna's version of Epona.
    #4 would probably be Dana Iclucia of Ys 8: Lacrimosa of Dana, because she's essentially what the kids of Breath of the Wild's Link and Zelda would be: a very friendly and helpful swordswoman of exceptional strength (who can also use perfect guards and perfect dodge mechanics) chosen by divine Providence (and several powerful fairies) and wielding its power in defense of a doomed nation and then going to stasis for a long time until you wake up with amnesia and try to figure out what happened and how to stop it from happening again, possibly eating 56 mangoes in the middle of a fight and cooking a hundred meals (just in case), all while rocking the color blue like it was nobody's business. She also met a divine beast or two that normal people apparently can't see, though she dealt with it with a lot more stabbing than Link did with Farosh and his ilk. Oh, and content was later added to the game where she ends up fighting against an ancient sage superboss who has a very wide array of moves and multiple transformations which tests how will she has mastered pretty much all the core mechanics of her playstyles. Before anyone cries "rip-off," Ys 8 came out around 6 months before Breath of the Wild, and the add in content with the sage and the fairies also came out before the Champion's ballad, IIRC, and everything I mentioned is using mechanics and story elements that have existed for years in various forms throughout the Ys series and are handled notably differently than they are in BotW (her sage is a lot more sassy than a certain Zelda Monk).
    #5 is Issun, because Okami is basically the halfway point between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, to taking place in the mystical lands that inspired Hyrule.

  • @hambartha

    One of my favorite companions has to be spirit Zelda from spirit tracks. Like Midna, there are a lot of emotional bonds that form between Link and Zelda as the two of them go through their adventure and grow together. She has a wonderful character arc as she develops her confidence in her abilities, going from scared and helpless, to being such an integral part of the final boss battles. More so than any other Zelda game.
    At the very end, as Link is struggling to force his sword into Malladus' head, Zelda runs over and together, the two of them deal the killing blow to the Demon. It's such a wonderful and satisfying climax to their journey. She's definitely favorite iteration of Zelda as well.

    My favorite companion (even though it's for the briefest of times) is Marin. She builds up so much charm and chemistry with Link when they travel to Animal Village that makes her disappearance and rebirth that much poignant.
    Also, she tries to wake up the Wind Fish herself, just to help Link leave Koholint. That kind of emotional sacrifice cannot go unnoticed.

    A good way to add a companion to BotW would've been to have someone who could remind you of something you wanted to do at set intervals. I don't know about anyone else, but there were so many times where I've been dead-set on doing a certain task, only to be distracted by 200 other things, and eventually forgetting about the thing i wanted to do to begin with. A companion to remind you of those things you wanted to set out to do would've been nice.

    My favorite companion has to be Zelda from Spirit Tracks. She’s the only Zelda in my opinion who actually develops a deeper relationship with Link. She goes with Link throughout his journey and helps him deliver the final blow to the end boss.
    Side note: I’m glad to see people talking about Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass. Those two games are very underrated.

  • @c0mm0d0re

    In all honestly, my favorite companion is Tatl. Maybe because I’m just a sucker for anything Majora’s Mask, but I always enjoyed her presence. Her connection with the Skull Kid is really neat as well, and she’s the only one in Termina that remembers and understands Link’s efforts to save everyone from imminent apocalypse (aside from the Happy Mask Salesman, I guess?) but yeah, she’s great, one of my all-time faves.

    Midna is the main reason I love Twilight Princess the most, and why I freaking LOVE the manga because we just get to see more of Midna... also the writing and art are really good, all the characters are well fleshed out (especially Link, who actually has a personality, a character arc, and a weak as well as a dark side to him as well) and we get a story that's stretched into 10 volumes with new things added to the story rather than cut down like the other Zelda mangas.

    I've never really considered Linebeck or the King of Red Lions as companions, even though I can see how people consider them to be one. I consider Leaf, Neri, and most especially Ciela to be the actual companions, and you can switch between them to gain different powers.
    Navi and Zelda top off my list with Ezlo and Ciela close behind. Ciela has an interesting story arc, and one of my favorite things about her is that she has the same voice as Navi. Zelda grows from a naive, somewhat careless princess into a strong, caring, and confident ruler. Ezlo is hilarious, and Navi, being the first, will always hold a special place in my heart.

    I can't believe Fi was an honorable mention DX I couldn't get invested in her since she was literally written as a robot with no feeling and I have to emotionally relate to a character to like them.

    I've not played the Zelda series since Navi. Ive seen play throughs of Skyward sword, Twilight Princess, Windwaker, and Breath of the Wild. I need to watch play to throughs of Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Link Between Worlds and spirit tracks. I like the more realistic Link, so choose to watch those. I need to catch up on the timeline to understand it all better. Minish were supposed to appear in BOTW and concept art is out there so I definitely should see that one through. Twilight Princess is my favorite so far, I watched the play through. I love Midna. I think her goodbye was meant to be final. Link never does seem to keep the ones who love him most close to himself and seems doomed to say farewell at the end to those builds the closest relationships to. I'd like to see a return of a beloved follower. Link may be able to get to the twilight realm by another way. There has to be another way that existed before the mirror of Twilight. Link going there might not mean he meets Midna. Time might work differently so he travels into Twilights Future. Link's future or romantic interest is never explained and in each timeline something seems to happen. Shade Link is the saddest thing.

    She has so many amazing moments throughout the whole game, and her character evolves into a whole new person.
    Imo she's easily in the top 3 best companion, and is by far the best incarnation of Zelda yet.

    The geat thing bout Midna (like you mostly say) is that she's able to be flawed and grow as a character in a way that Link generally cannot. It adds so much to the storytelling quality. She's a selfish, mean character who really changes for logical reasons. Most of the other companions change a little, but usually kind of at the very end rather than gradually.
    TBH, I don't love TP so much overall, but she was a great character who really, REALLY adds to it. I can't imagine her being more like a Fi or something.
