Day 58 – Favorite minor character
This might come as a surprise but my pick is Tingle from the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker game. He is this totally hilarious middle-aged man who believes in forest fairies, so much so that his only ambition is to become a forest fairy himself, thus the costume. He also happens to be a skilled cartographer.
Though he is a reoccurring character in the Zelda series, he had a starring role in the Wind Waker game, resident mapmaker. But the real reason I liked him so much (besides being ridiculously funny) was that Tingle could help Link by connecting the Game Boy Advanced to the GameCube. It was a total gimmick, but I loved every minute. It certainly ensured Tingle’s place in this line up. =P

I’m a bit shocked. I figured you would have chosen someone from Mass Effect.
Mine? The Butcher from Diablo.

Oooh the Butcher.. thats a good one. Also I didn’t really like any characters from the Mass Effect series. Okay I did like Thane, but his whole story line was a big downer. Bummer really. But thats the problem that I have with too much story, it defines the characters too much in a way I usually dont like.
But Tingle was the best!! I just got such a kick out of connecting the game boy advanced. Gave me tingles every time. =D

This might be a bizarre one… but Niccolo from Legend of Mana.

I’ll wait until I pick mine. Navi, however, SO NOT GOING TO BE IT.

LOL! Yeah, Navi was annoying but not as annoying as that stupid walking trash bucket in Borderlands 2. I have serious hate for that robot.
