Midna: Midna is pretty easily the best Zelda companion. I don't think I've ever seen anyone dispute this. She does talk a lot, but unlike the others, she doesn't really give grandiose speeches or constant advice, she just snarks at you occasionally. Also unlike some of the others, she's actually integrated into the story in a competent fashion. Like, remove Navi or Ezlo, and the story is the same, except you're now just on a mostly silent adventure. Midna also fulfills the important role of providing us with a lighthearted tone in the darkest and most morose Zelda title. She's actually funny, at least occasionally, and like Ezlo below, she provides Link with actual abilities to justify her tagging along (as opposed to certain fairies I could mention). Like, the idea of a powerful important princess being cursed into this pathetic imp and having to raise up a hero to reclaim her throne is a great idea, and it's handled mostly pretty well. And yes, of course we all remember when Midna turns back into a Twili and is suddenly sexy, despite the fact that all of her people up to this point looked like hideous monster men, don't even attempt to explain it. I think Midna really struck a chord with people in a way that no other companion did, and it's for a combination of all of these reasons. How much restraint does Nintendo show in not bringing her back? Good job, there. And she's the queen of one of the seventeen reverse worlds Hyrule has; you could so easily bring her back if you wanted. Overall, Midna is probably the best-remembered element of a game no one particularly cares about. TP was probably my first Zelda disappointment, actually? It's not a bad game, but the 8.8 was generous.

Good!
