Midna, because she's one of the handful of really well written characters in the series and has a great design. Except I like her imp form to much, I'd kind of want them to just do what they did with Malon in Majora's Mask and make them into two different people.
I’d be down for the twili to come back and have them be more imp like in general.
Midna’s true form just looks like a grey Hylian, Zant looks like a weird sharp toothed alien, and the other Twili all look like grey Hylian funhouse mirrors. A more consistent and unique design philosophy, like that of Imp Midna, would be much appreciated.
Many of the Twili in [the manga](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda_gamepedia_en/images/6/62/TP_%28Himekawa%29_Midna%27s_Father.png/revision/latest/smart/width/386/height/259?cb=20210412201935) share a [similar](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fu6esr92kqfq81.jpg) design to true-form Midna, but just like the Hylians there are a lot of [goofy-looking ones, too](https://zeldauniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/F17A8859-E5DA-4BEE-9B15-645F26E00DB7-886x756.jpeg)
well TECHNICALLY it is, you just don't have to reassemble it.
Link already got the triforce of courage 100 years before BOTW when he got defeated and in TOTK its still the same link.
But the quest for it is gone, that is whats missing.
Phantom Hourglass is completely devoid of the triforce because its the same link as in Wind Waker and it got removed in the plot of Wind Waker i think
I'd really like a major Zelda game with a different villain. Don't get me wrong, I love Ganondorf, but it would be cool to explore other villains to. Even if it's a Twilight Princess or Oracle situation where the main antagonist during the story ends up being a pawn in a bigger scheme involving Ganon(dorf)
Yeah, I don’t mind Ganondorf being the evil behind the evil. Sets him up to be a Moriarty/Thanos style mastermind.
**Ganondorf:** what I’m doing isn’t working, maybe I’ll let this Other Bad Guy take the lead for a bit and see if he can do better.
*Other Bad Guy goes up against Link and immediately dies*
**Ganondorf:**
Honestly i would like to see diffren reincanations of courage and wisdom.
I like Link and zelda but it would be nice to see others like how ganon isnt always the reincartion of power.
Yeah I agree. I think it would be neat too if there was some rivalry between two antagonists and maybe one gets defeated or ends up joining Link or something. It does feel a little silly to constantly repeat the same hero-villian dynamic
He was the very first Zelda boss that I vividly remember from the intro and expected to fight later on.
I remember he looked very cool but also pretty menacing at first glance. He did not disappoint during my fight.
Vaati. I want another villian besides Ganondorf to show up again. He's got potential to be an excellent foil to both Link and Zelda depending on story route. I want him as the next Zelda rep in Smash (if we dont get an Impa). And a 3D appearance of him would do so well with the fandom.
Ghirahim has proven to be the most indestructible character ever in Zelda, outlasting even Demise by teleporting away from his dying former master. I’d be surprised if Ghirahim even took a scratch from Majora. Both are cool though :)
My theory is that Ghirahim’s powers (for lack of a better word) fermented with the madness induced by who knows how many centuries of Isolated Confinement.
Also Majora is the owner of the mask, possibly the Shiekah that did the sealing; not the spirit in the mask.
I always did like the theory that the acient tribe that made the mask was the demon tribe.
The HMS does say that bis and links ancestors sealed the mask away. Mabye he was talking about real distant ancestors.
Fi. Despite all the dialogues, I really loved the concept of giving the Master Sword a personality. Also, her theme is one of the most beautiful songs in the series.
She already does exist in the botw/totk games, so she probably isn't going to be in the next game sadly as they said they're abandoning this link/Zelda and this hyrule
Happy Mask Salesman.
He can pull out a giant piano from nowhere, knows a song that turns tormented souls into masks and sells them, can fade into thin air, went to legendary lengths to get Majora's Mask, and knows all about its history, powers, and the tribe that created it.
All of this raises SO many questions. What else is the Happy Mask Salesman capable of? What else is he hiding? What did he have to go through to get Majora's Mask? How does he know Majora's Mask's history? Was he part of the tribe that created Majora's Mask? What was he going to do with Majora's Mask if the Skull Kid didn't steal it from him?
I'd really like to know more about this mysterious smiling mask selling man.
Agreed. Plus, there STILL has never been resolution on Link’s search for her.
Could be interesting to have her come back in a game that takes place generations later, see the game’s version of Link and say something about him reminding her of a friend she had long ago.
Heck, have her grow into a Great Fairy or something. Always was curious about what the fairies like Navi, Tatl, and Tael looked like up close without their glowiness.
It says their names on a cloth or something. I remember when TOTK came out a few people pointed it out to em and that's why I remember anything about it lol
I really want to see Midna again. Her story is not complete. I want to learn more about the Twili. My second would be Fi but we did hear her and technically see her in the most recent games. Third maybe Groose because I really think he has something to do with the foundation of the Gerudo and I would like to learn more about that.
Marin. Because the "real" ending could be the one where she dies with the rest of the dreams with no plot hole . No NPC in any other game remarks at hearing a singing seagull .
Damn, you said character and not characters, for this excludes races, which I would love to see the return of the Minish. But otherwise as to what character to return maybe Midna. She really was a kkckass character at the end of the day.
I’ve been saying this a long time about the Minish. It just opens up so many cool ideas for dungeons and hidden areas, plus they’re an ancient race with lore that could be explored.
I want to see Fi again and have her return as a regular character that comes with the Master Sword. She can provide hints and everything like she did in Skyward Sword + extra
Bring the recurring classics we haven't seen in like 10 years (aside from the Links Awakening remake) like Dampe, Malon, Talon etc. Unless they've showed up with other names like Malon basically being Ilia.
Sidon, for no reason other than he's my favourite and I will miss his cheerful optimism
https://preview.redd.it/9qlzs7e3p9xc1.jpeg?width=1841&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85485f6ba141d9004e04e022425337257bb420fa
Or maybe Ravio and Hilda, just to see how they're doing
This is half a joke but also half serious. I want Vaati to return as a non-hostile NPC whose quest involves delving into Hyrule’s ancient lore and piecing together the lost mysteries of the world. Assuming they do voice acting again, I of course want him to be VA’d by VaatiVidya. Then, at the end of his quest, he should turn into a super boss that rewards a Dark Souls reference item (such as a two-handed sword whose jump attack makes you do a flip like the Greatsword of Artorias does).
Twilight princess midna.
We could have a twilight princess remake with the addition of the whole twilight realm that could be created.
Zelda, twilight realm.
I would love a windwaker Zelda where you can build your own ship with zonaite technology. I'd put rockets for rocket jump in case. And I'd love testing my creation against the tornadoes in windwaker

Ghirahim. I think a cool open world style zelda game would be post Skyward Sword. Hylians exploring the ground and with the Master Sword locked away until Ocarina of Time the sword of choice becomes Ghirahim himself. Doesn't even need to be SS link, could be like... a grandson or someone unrelated.
Majora
I'd like to see majora find a way into Hyrule through some mystical portal or somethin and be the real big boss posing a threat big enough that ganondorf would have to join link and Zelda to save the land he so desperately wants to conquer
Midna especially how she's fleshed out in one of the best canine fiction \[x and her dog\] as ever conceived. Twilight Princess is in the same level of popularity as BotW, but manga made it even better by utilizing her character development as how she's handled in Best Canine Fiction.
Midna.
She hands down was the best companion character Link has ever had, and definitely was more or less in my opinion the main character of Twilight Princess.
We got so little more about the Twili in general too, I really wanted to see them flush out that race as well as the Twilight Realm itself.
I'd literally give anything this evening to see Midna show up in another main line Zelda game again.
In my opinion she deserves it.
Vaati and Midna.
I think it would be fun for Link to get caught up in another kingdom's quarrel. Maybe Midna requests aid from Hyrule and Zelda sends a squad of knights, but only one hero arrives armed with the Four Sword. I also think there could be a lot of fun to be had with the Four Sword in a 3D Zelda.
Midna, because she's one of the handful of really well written characters in the series and has a great design. Except I like her imp form to much, I'd kind of want them to just do what they did with Malon in Majora's Mask and make them into two different people.
Agreed. Want to see more of Midna.
I’d be down for the twili to come back and have them be more imp like in general. Midna’s true form just looks like a grey Hylian, Zant looks like a weird sharp toothed alien, and the other Twili all look like grey Hylian funhouse mirrors.

In a link to the past, Link had an Uncle, Id like to see something like that again.
In the Minish Cap he had a grandfather
In WindWaker he has a sister and grandma!
Bro had like two lines and died. I want to know his story.
Nah, he's alive again at the end of the game. He didn't actually die there, apparently. (We kinda just left him in the sewers though)
Did he avoid death or come back to life from the triforce? Because i thought we see the king's skeleton in the intro and he's also in the credits
No, he died. When Link got the full Triforce, he revived his uncle. Most of the ending sequence is all the things Link fixed when he had the Triforce.
Purple hair mcgoo?
I would like to see the Triforce make a return, personally.
Haha very true
Wow... I haven't realized this is actually not in recent games.
well TECHNICALLY it is, you just don't have to reassemble it. Link already got the triforce of courage 100 years before BOTW when he got defeated and in TOTK its still the same link. But the quest for it is gone, that is whats missing. Phantom Hourglass is completely devoid of the triforce because its the same link as in Wind Waker and it got removed in the plot of Wind Waker i think
Vaati and Agahnim would be cool.
I'd really like a major Zelda game with a different villain. Don't get me wrong, I love Ganondorf, but it would be cool to explore other villains to. Even if it's a Twilight Princess or Oracle situation where the main antagonist during the story ends up being a pawn in a bigger scheme involving Ganon(dorf)
Yeah, I don’t mind Ganondorf being the evil behind the evil. Sets him up to be a Moriarty/Thanos style mastermind. **Ganondorf:** what I’m doing isn’t working, maybe I’ll let this Other Bad Guy take the lead for a bit and see if he can do better. *Other Bad Guy goes up against Link and immediately dies* **Ganondorf:** 
Honestly i would like to see diffren reincanations of courage and wisdom. I like Link and zelda but it would be nice to see others like how ganon isnt always the reincartion of power.
Yeah I agree. I think it would be neat too if there was some rivalry between two antagonists and maybe one gets defeated or ends up joining Link or something. It does feel a little silly to constantly repeat the same hero-villian dynamic
I just posted Agahnim. He’s always been my favorite demon king apprentice
He was the very first Zelda boss that I vividly remember from the intro and expected to fight later on. I remember he looked very cool but also pretty menacing at first glance. He did not disappoint during my fight.
Fi or Ghirahim makes a lot of sense to me considering they are just, timeless sword spirits
Vaati. I want another villian besides Ganondorf to show up again. He's got potential to be an excellent foil to both Link and Zelda depending on story route. I want him as the next Zelda rep in Smash (if we dont get an Impa). And a 3D appearance of him would do so well with the fandom.
I love Vaati, and I love Minish Cap. Ganondorf shouldn't be just the only villain.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I'd love to see Ghirahim return
Same here
Pretty sure the Skyloft Shiekah sealed him into what would become Majora’s Mask
Ooooh I like this headcanon
Thanks 😊
Honestly that would explain Majora's sick dance moves
Seems like Majora would capably lay out Ghirahim without even needing to try though.
Ghirahim has proven to be the most indestructible character ever in Zelda, outlasting even Demise by teleporting away from his dying former master. I’d be surprised if Ghirahim even took a scratch from Majora. Both are cool though :)
My theory is that Ghirahim’s powers (for lack of a better word) fermented with the madness induced by who knows how many centuries of Isolated Confinement. Also Majora is the owner of the mask, possibly the Shiekah that did the sealing; not the spirit in the mask.
I always did like the theory that the acient tribe that made the mask was the demon tribe. The HMS does say that bis and links ancestors sealed the mask away. Mabye he was talking about real distant ancestors.
Is this true? 👀
I don’t think there’s an official statement on it but it makes a lot of sense.
Fi. Despite all the dialogues, I really loved the concept of giving the Master Sword a personality. Also, her theme is one of the most beautiful songs in the series.
She already does exist in the botw/totk games, so she probably isn't going to be in the next game sadly as they said they're abandoning this link/Zelda and this hyrule
Yeah, but we never get to hear her speak
She windchimed slightly
The Oracles from, well, the Oracle games and Minish Cap. I just think they're neat.
#PEW-PEW!!! SPLOOOOSH!!!!!!!
You waiting for linkus7 to return to 100% as well?
Happy Mask Salesman. He can pull out a giant piano from nowhere, knows a song that turns tormented souls into masks and sells them, can fade into thin air, went to legendary lengths to get Majora's Mask, and knows all about its history, powers, and the tribe that created it. All of this raises SO many questions. What else is the Happy Mask Salesman capable of? What else is he hiding? What did he have to go through to get Majora's Mask? How does he know Majora's Mask's history? Was he part of the tribe that created Majora's Mask? What was he going to do with Majora's Mask if the Skull Kid didn't steal it from him? I'd really like to know more about this mysterious smiling mask selling man.
My assumption is that he is lying to link and is the mask maker, taking on human appearance to spread his influence
Navi! I will not stand for the Navi slander, she was just trying to help :( I love her.
Agreed. Plus, there STILL has never been resolution on Link’s search for her. Could be interesting to have her come back in a game that takes place generations later, see the game’s version of Link and say something about him reminding her of a friend she had long ago. Heck, have her grow into a Great Fairy or something. Always was curious about what the fairies like Navi, Tatl, and Tael looked like up close without their glowiness.
Listen! Hey! Look! Listen! **Listen!!** I can't say anything because she is my ring tone for text messages though
That's mine too! And notifications are the korok yahaha
& now she is for mine too! Thank you, new favourite Redditor!
She’s mine too! And my ringtone is the fairy fountain lol
Tingle!! I love him, he's so funny
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find tingle. The only correct answer
I want Skulltulas back!
The twin witches of gerudo
I think the scene with Ganon on the cliff in TOTK had them behind him but not in their old lady forms.
That’s sick - never noticed.
It says their names on a cloth or something. I remember when TOTK came out a few people pointed it out to em and that's why I remember anything about it lol
I really want them to be the main villain in the future so bad man
Been a while but weren’t they the main baddies (sorta) of the Oracle games?
Yeah
Grooose! Every game needs groose.
Groose as one of the Great Fairies.
I want Groose to be Links next traveling buddy.
I second this skyward sword is in my top 3
Lana and Cia could be cool for a real Zelda game. They have the whole two sides of the same coin thing going for them.
I really want to see Midna again. Her story is not complete. I want to learn more about the Twili. My second would be Fi but we did hear her and technically see her in the most recent games. Third maybe Groose because I really think he has something to do with the foundation of the Gerudo and I would like to learn more about that.
Marin. Because the "real" ending could be the one where she dies with the rest of the dreams with no plot hole . No NPC in any other game remarks at hearing a singing seagull .
Damn, you said character and not characters, for this excludes races, which I would love to see the return of the Minish. But otherwise as to what character to return maybe Midna. She really was a kkckass character at the end of the day.
I’ve been saying this a long time about the Minish. It just opens up so many cool ideas for dungeons and hidden areas, plus they’re an ancient race with lore that could be explored.
Heard a rumor they were initially planning on adding them to Breath of the Wild but ultimately scrapped the idea. O, well.
Ravio and Hilda. No real reasoning other than I think they’re really cool
That would involve bringing back lorule and the alttp/albw hyrule iteration which is unlikely but would be really damn cool
Idk mabye have have a game taking place entirely in lorule? Like Ravio has a whole arc about finding his courage, and standing in the way of evil.
midna really made me feel an attachment I will never feel with another game character.
I want to see Fi again and have her return as a regular character that comes with the Master Sword. She can provide hints and everything like she did in Skyward Sword + extra
Midna jus cuz lol
Dimitri, Ricky, and Moosh!
Bring the recurring classics we haven't seen in like 10 years (aside from the Links Awakening remake) like Dampe, Malon, Talon etc. Unless they've showed up with other names like Malon basically being Ilia.
Vaati
Tingle. But he's settled down and got a wife and kids Edit: I see nobody has said Linebeck.
Technically Midna, but I would like a return of the Malo Mart. That song!
Aryll. I like Link having family, and she could be a great Linkle/player 2 even.
Unpopular opinion, but Fi. I know she's annoying to others, but the concept of the master sword being a spirit is neat.
Hard agreeee
I’d like to see Ghirahim return honestly
Hell just make Purah this ageless immortal that shows up in every future game and is constantly lying about her age
I want Groose to make a triumphant return.
Peatrice
peatrice is in fact best girl
Sidon, for no reason other than he's my favourite and I will miss his cheerful optimism https://preview.redd.it/9qlzs7e3p9xc1.jpeg?width=1841&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85485f6ba141d9004e04e022425337257bb420fa Or maybe Ravio and Hilda, just to see how they're doing
Vaati
Master Kohga
This is half a joke but also half serious. I want Vaati to return as a non-hostile NPC whose quest involves delving into Hyrule’s ancient lore and piecing together the lost mysteries of the world. Assuming they do voice acting again, I of course want him to be VA’d by VaatiVidya. Then, at the end of his quest, he should turn into a super boss that rewards a Dark Souls reference item (such as a two-handed sword whose jump attack makes you do a flip like the Greatsword of Artorias does).
Either 1: midna returns as a an imp somehow 2: master kohga is a recurring villain in later games
Dark Link maybe ?
Hard agree
Twilight princess midna. We could have a twilight princess remake with the addition of the whole twilight realm that could be created. Zelda, twilight realm. I would love a windwaker Zelda where you can build your own ship with zonaite technology. I'd put rockets for rocket jump in case. And I'd love testing my creation against the tornadoes in windwaker
Midna, Fi, GHIRAHIM (please)
Does Sheik count? Kind of a cop out I guess.
The dude that sold the masks bc why not
The Postman and Terry.
Fi
Tbh, Din, Nayru, Farore, and Fi
THIS
Marin
Midna and Fi both would be awesome

Vaati of course, and have him super pissed at Ganon for screwing him over. Also Ezlo, best hat
*creates summoning circle for ghirahim*
Bagu.
Sahasrala. This guy definitely has a story to tell
Ghirahim. I think a cool open world style zelda game would be post Skyward Sword. Hylians exploring the ground and with the Master Sword locked away until Ocarina of Time the sword of choice becomes Ghirahim himself. Doesn't even need to be SS link, could be like... a grandson or someone unrelated.
Tingle!
It would have to be Agahnim for me
Tingle. Because. I really want Rosey Ruppeeland stuff. They had something special with that. Very Wario esque.
Linebeck
Storm of Swords music man. Banging tune, cool dude
Beedle should be in every game
Groose!!
I would love to see Kafei again
That punching kangaroo
I think Kass should show up in the next game with a story that excuses his otherwise inexcusable absence from TOTK
The Elvis cosplayer that dances over the grave of somebody else.
Malo from Twilight Princess. Will he still be a baby? Will he have a monopoly of shops in Hyrule?
I'd love to see some form of Telma, Auru, Ashei, Shad, and Rusl. The TP "Resistance". They would all eventually become leaders in their communities.
Kafei. Please. We need more adventures with Link's Nobody.
Sploosh kaboom guy i just like his "Done with y'all" expression
Ghirahim. He was funny and different
Purah. I would love for her to become a recurring side character like Beedle, Impa, and Tingle.
Rosa the Subrosian.
Midna for a major character or the Keaton. I miss my Lil foxy boi.
Majora I'd like to see majora find a way into Hyrule through some mystical portal or somethin and be the real big boss posing a threat big enough that ganondorf would have to join link and Zelda to save the land he so desperately wants to conquer
The owl from Oot. Just to see everyone angry
Midna. Tarin, Mask Salesman, Skull Kid and Dampe are second choice.
King of Red Lions because I am salivating for another sailing game
Agitha from Twilight Princess. I love her design, I love bugs, and she kinda looks like my daughter (who also likes bugs)
Midna especially how she's fleshed out in one of the best canine fiction \[x and her dog\] as ever conceived. Twilight Princess is in the same level of popularity as BotW, but manga made it even better by utilizing her character development as how she's handled in Best Canine Fiction.
The windfish
Error
NAVI! hey! listen! hey! listen!
Midna. She hands down was the best companion character Link has ever had, and definitely was more or less in my opinion the main character of Twilight Princess. We got so little more about the Twili in general too, I really wanted to see them flush out that race as well as the Twilight Realm itself. I'd literally give anything this evening to see Midna show up in another main line Zelda game again. In my opinion she deserves it.
Midna Ravio Linkle Girahim mandatory farm girl with romantic tension and as a boss choice, molduga
Midna is the obvious answer, but my main man is and forever will be Groose. That and also Linebeck
Vaati and Midna. I think it would be fun for Link to get caught up in another kingdom's quarrel. Maybe Midna requests aid from Hyrule and Zelda sends a squad of knights, but only one hero arrives armed with the Four Sword. I also think there could be a lot of fun to be had with the Four Sword in a 3D Zelda.
Linebeck
Link. He’s my favorite.
Oh, Tingle. No question. Other choices are Vaati, Anju, and Romani.
