What I think of Mipha
Mipha is my favorite character, in every sense of the word; always the one I go to first, both in Battle Royale and AoC. However, she also leaves me feeling a bit anxious—her personality, her shyness, and even her unspoken love for Link. Furthermore, it almost seems like Ninetales "mishandles" her, making her seem like the weakest of the champions, even though in my opinion she's the strongest, even stronger than Link; both as a playable character in AoC and as a character in her own right. Her sense of duty is also fantastic; she sacrifices herself and protects everyone not because she has to, but because she wants to. Despite this, Nintendo never gave her what she deserved, namely:
- Peace for her impossible love
- A less "marginal" role
- Making her look like a heroine, not someone who fell because she was too weak
Furthermore, she's the most heartbreaking because in the "canon" timeline she dies, but she's not simply a legend; it's a mourning for her surviving family, given that Zoras live a very long time. Furthermore, many fans mock her, making edits with Zelda and Link, with her all she can do is watch, or always portraying her as the weak, depressed one.
In short, in my opinion, no one gives her the justice and interest she deserves, nor a happy ending.
