midna is an okay-at-best zelda companion

and almost everything about her is low-hanging-fruit normiebait[/spoiler]

better than fi, better than tatl, better than navi.....

What other companions are there? I guess she's not better than red lions....

tatl >> navi >> midna >>>> fi

midna is rude and domineering from the very moment she forcefully imposes herself into your life, using you as a mere vector to effect her own goals for like the entire first half of the game

and then [glow=black,2,300]she gets ill and aww all of a sudden i'm supposed to be endeared by her plight[/glow]

no, i don't quite forgive or forget that easily

[spoiler=oh, and then there's this entire cringe-inducingly cheesy scene]



literally WHO gave this IMP permission to touch my face

i'm only going with you because i've been broken into being your steed
[/spoiler]

i was also going to complain about [glow=black,2,300]post-transformation midna, but having just rewatched all of the princess midna endgame scenes, they're not quite as bad as i remembered[/glow]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

and the reason i prefer tatl to midna is because, despite their superficially similar personalities, she's actually exactly the opposite of midna lol

tatl wants nothing to do with you except to taunt and thieve along with her worthless brother and the skull kid, so she acts as an active accomplice as you're knocked the out, robbed of your dearest belongings and turned into a wooden newt

and in the process of forcefully preventing you from pursuing the skull kid, she ends up getting separated from her partners in crime

and they don't even care lmfao

they don't wait a single second for her to catch up, and by the time you get through the door a minute later they're nowhere to be seen

her own worthless brother would rather follow the skull kid like a dog on a short leash than waste even a minute on reuniting with tatl

and now she's stuck with you, desperately begging for your forgiveness because she has no choice but to submit if she wants any help

and as it dawns on her that she will be stuck with you for longer and then even longer than anticipated, she gradually softens to you throughout the game

in tp's case, you are broken into being midna's servant over the course of the game, and she treats you like a mere pet throughout

in mm, tatl is broken into being your servant over the course of the game, and she becomes your pet dog on a short leash

just as she deserves for introducing herself to you with assault

Idk, regardless midna is just more interesting to me.

Tatl just bugs me, and navi is devoid of anything interesting

You're points are valid, but this is just how I feel. You know, at least midna has a complex backstory. Not that tatl doesnt, i suppose but It helps for me.

Besides, midna and link become pretty much equal partners by the endgame.

Which, I guess, so does tatl...

Idk I just prefer midna

half of the reason super mario sunshine is looked upon unfavorably compared to other mario titles is that isle delfino/delfino plaza are absolutely terribly organized, to the point of impeding progress

the other half is fludd

It's all just "tropical."
