Purile, childish, silly and immature...
I cant help but look at recent Zelda games and see an increasing number of characters who have either purile personalities or are just made absolute jokes out of and it is starting to bug me.
I think it started in SS with Ghirahim and how his character was just... not good. Fabulous, angry, fabulous and more angry.
But then you have the ALBW cast which almost all felt as if they were a parody of ALttP. Ravio is a joke, Yuga is a fabulous Ganondorf which makes me think someone on the design team asked 'what would Ganondorf look like if Ghirahim was his dad?'
Likewise in BotW Master Kohga is just a punchline to the Yiga.
I think the Yiga could have been a very dark inclusion to Zelda lore. Anti-Sheikah intent on murdering the monarchy. More sense than mindless monsters which usually serve Ganon but no. They were a joke and how Kohga was handled was so immature and just robbed the Yiga of all threat.
Then we have the entire cast of Tri Force Heroes...
Does anyone else feel this increasing sense of immature and jokey characters?
