First, you meet this old man on the Great Plateau, and he’s just… there. But then BAM—he’s the ghost of Hyrule’s king! He’s like a grumpy grandfather who also happens to have a kingdom to save. He sets you on your path with a warm, weary tone, and you can’t help but respect him.
He reminds me of that one retired teacher who still gives out life advice. You know, the kind who’s seen it all but still believes in second chances. King Rhoam dies again (spoiler?), but his faith in Link fuels your entire journey.
Zelda: The Genius Who Just Wants a Hug
Princess Zelda in this game? She’s not just “the damsel in distress.” She’s a nerd, a scientist, a researcher obsessed with ancient tech. She struggles with her powers and feels like a failure—haven’t we all been there? Watching her panic and doubt herself makes her so human.
And her diary entries? Pure gold. You realize she’s not perfect; she’s just a teenager under insane pressure. Her relationship with Link feels real—awkward, sometimes tense, but built on mutual respect. By the end, you’re rooting for her to finally unleash that inner light.
