The Challenge of Zelda: A character I relate to

Is it bad that the very first character that comes to mind is Talon because he’s kind of lazy and sleeps a lot?


But if I had to say I relate to any particular character it would be��Cremia. She may be Romani’s sister but she plays a very maternal roll without their parents around. When it’s obvious to her that they are all doomed, she will do anything to numb Romani to the pain of dying. Even if that means getting her a little intoxicated on Milk. Seriously, check out Did You Know Gaming on Youtube. They mention that in a video. Anyway, being a mother I know that feeling of wanting to shield your child (or small child you love dearly) from the world.


Though I can also relate to Impa. She’s very patient, willing to teach, but she’s also very stern and isn’t afraid to let you know if you let her down. This goes for virtually all incarnations of her, really, and it applies to more aspects of my life than simply motherhood. I feel I have that kind of relationship with my best friends, and it’s actually helped foster a strong bond with us. Not everyone can handle that kind of relationship, but that’s how it comes up.


And who doesn’t have obsessions like Cia had over Link? Especially anyone belonging to a Fandom. She was passionate about Link, maybe believed they should be together, and many people feel the same way about the heroes of their favorite shows/books/games/movies.


In truth, I don’t think anyone can relate to any one particular character in the franchise. We are all diverse in personality, and while a lot of the supporting characters are kind of one dimensional, they are in such a way that we can love them for various reasons. Including the traits we see in ourselves.
