You got the quote wrong. It's "It's Dangerous to go alone! Take this.", not "It's Dangerous to go alone! Take this!" FOR SHAME!! :)
Anju and Kefei where great characters. It truly was a beautiful moment when they were reunited.

I loved that subquest in Majora's Mask. Majora's Mask is an incredible experience

Will this feature mention perhaps Zelda's most enduring recurring character; Kiki the monkey?

Heh, Zelda's had some pretty colorful characters...

And this is just starting! Just wait till you see who shows up :p

The Great Fairies?

Here is today's character: The Happy Mask Salesman
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26329

"It doesn't help that he had an uncanny resemblance to Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto..."
Are you saying that all Japanese look the same? You sir, are a racist. :)
But I have to agree. I was legitimately afraid of that character as a child. The dudes psycho...

I think the old man in the original Legend of Zelda is the real hero of the game. Not only does he provide you with three different swords from his personal collection, but he also follows you around and climbs into dangerous spots in dungeons just to give you hints. Sure, he'll charge you hefty fees if you burn his various trees around the world that somehow act as doors, but you should just consider that payment for the all-powerful Magical Sword.

I remember reading somewhere (either Nintendo Power or some other magazine) that the Mask Salesman was somewhat inspired by Miyamoto, hence why I made the comment. If you have learned about Miyamoto, then learn about the Mask Salesman you realize that maybe the development team was saying something about Miyamoto indirectly with this character. Miyamoto HAS been known for kidnapping random people, you know :p .

I also heard that the creepy Link statue from Majora's Mask (the one that appears when you play the Elegy of Emptiness, this statue:http://images.wikia.com/jadusable/images/a/a2/359px-Link_Statue.png) was also inspired by Miyamoto.

Today brings us our first character from Wind Waker, courtesy of Zach Miller:

I must congratulate you on the articles so far. By the end of the feature, I think you might convince some of the naysayers who claim that Zelda never has interesting characters to reconsider their stance. Although there's one correction to be made: the abstract for the latest entry, 'Meet Makar, the Earth Sage', is wrong, as he's actually the Wind Sage -- the Earth Sage is Medli, the Rito girl.

Makar gets kudos from me simply because he was responsible for some of the best music in the game. The forest ceremony scene, and the scene where Link, Makar and the spirit of Fado all play the Wind God's Aria one last time to power up the Master Sword are both very memorable, largely because of the amazing little Celtic violin pieces that Makar plays during them.

As for the other characters, all I'll say is that the quest to reunite Kafei and Anju has to be the longest and most convoluted side-quest of any Zelda game, even trumping the various trading sequences. I don't think I ever managed it without an FAQ.

Kudos for including Makar, he's one of my favorites as well.

Thank you very much for the kind words! Though, Andrew Brown, Zach Miller and Josh Max helped out on this as well, so they too should receive some praise.

I checked the page and the correction has been made. Thanks for letting us know and sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, the Anju and Kafei sidequest is easily the biggest in Majora's Mask, perhaps just as big as the main quest itself. But it is also the one that uses all of the characters effectively and ties itself into the narrative better than the other side quests.

Here's today character: The Shop Keeper from Link's Awakening:
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26331

This feature kicks ass. Though it could go on for ages.

We all know that Bow-Wow was the most interesting character in Link's Awakening.

Purlo? That's an interesting choice. I agree with Unagi, this could go on for a while, of course I personally wouldn't mind if every single character was done. :)

man i totally forgot about purlo. I loved that clawshot mini-game

Hmmm...I would have picked Jovani from TP (the guy who sold his soul for wealth) simply because of his creepiness and the seriousness of his topic, but purlo's a good choice too.

The Yeti wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Agitha.

Sorry for not updating this, but here you go, today's character:
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26333

Link's Uncle is a good character.  This is the first time Link has Family and I don't think he has any again till Wind Waker, I haven't played most the mobile games so someone can correct me.

Link's uncle didn't die. At least, I don't think he did. I'm pretty sure I seen him in the credits with link. But up until that point I think we all assumed that he died.

No Pics Didn't Happen :P

Actually, you guys are both right. Link's uncle DID die...but was brought back to life using the power of the Triforce.

Spoiler Spoiler....

I've always wondered how he would have finished his sentence of "Zelda is your..." Sister? Destiny? Only hope? We may never know... and perhaps that is the beauty of it.

"Zelda is your..."
Mother.
Time Travel for the Win.

"Zelda is your..."

For some reason I always thought he could've said "sister".

In some timeline, Link is his own father, mother, grandfather and the bartender to which he's confessing the first 3.

I actually trimmed that down.  It was going to say that OoT Link was his father and keep going from their.

Here's today's character...

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26334

I always figured Link's uncle was going to say something to the effect of "Zelda is your... responsibility now" or something like that.  At the time I took it to mean that he was entrusting the quest to rescue Zelda to Link.

WHAT !!!!!!! I didn't know that. :cool; :Q

That hand scared the living doody out of me the first time I saw him. I say "doody" because I was a wee lad at the time. I mean it scared me. Like some demonic soul appeared out of nowhere just to drag me to hell. Now older and somewhat wiser, I can find the strange humor there.

Here is today's character, from Wind Waker it's Medli!
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26372

Medli was awesome!

Medli is okay but she sure is ugly.

I always thought her character design was really cute.

I think you're jealous.  Does she show up in any of the other adventures this Link has?

Just registered to say: I love this feature. I had almost forgotten about how much in love I was with the characters of Wind Waker, or Zelda games in general. There's been so much fighting about art styles in the wake of Twilight Princess (and Skyward Sword, later on) that what's been drawing me to these games in the first place took a back seat. I could walk around Windfall Island for hours on end. In fact, I will, right now.

Sorry for the delay of today's character, I was out yesterday and came home to sleep. Here is today's character:
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26374

That kid is intimidating.

Malo is one of the freakiest Zelda characters ever.

Since yesterday I was late with the Malo page, here is another page, Aaron talks about the infamous I AM ERROR from The Adventure of Link:
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26431

I just beat Fracktail a few days ago and I totally missed that!
But yeah, It's pretty cool how such a small character is so famous.

Well, the final character of this feature has been posted... It's Tingle
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26444


Before anyone says anything, I decided to write about him because I feel he is one of the few characters in the franchise that has gained so much notoriety. This feature is about how the characters, big or small, can leave a deep impression on the game and the player, and Tingle has done that, regardless if we want to admit it.

Are you ending this feature already? But you just got started. :(
...anyway, Tingle never bothered me that much, but he most certainly leaves an impression.

I think Tingle's great. Lettin' it all hang out, drunk as a skunk and rocking some wicked gin blossoms.

Tingle's hilarious, and anyone who is truly upset by his existence needs to lighten up.
