Whoa . . . I haven't posted in SO LONG.
Anyways, I was playing Ocarina of Time the other day and was just thinking, are some of the most beloved races we were introduced to early on in Zelda gone forever? As sad as this sounds, it seems to be the case so far for a select few.
For me, a huge bummer has been the Kokiri. We've seen different evolutions of the race overtime, such as the Koroks and arguably the Kikwi. But we haven't scene the human forms, the ones we fell in love with years ago, in any game since Ocarina of Time. They didn't even receive a Terminian counter-part in Majora's Mask. Skyward Sword, I felt, would've been the perfect scenario to re-introduce our green forest friends! It's timeline placement as well as including a wooded area made perfect sense and practically spelled out Kokiri. But, they remain absent.
The Gerudo are another mysterious race that we haven't seen in a 3D game for years as well. They're rich in culture and definitely have an interesting theme and add a lot to the Zelda universe, even they're desert remains a locations in certain games. But they remain absent . . . why?!
Perhaps it's the series way of staying fresh and new, and perhaps I'm too emotionally attached, but I genuinely would love to see some races using current day graphics and different art styles, and I'm afraid we may never!
What races would you like to see make a miraculous return in the world of Zelda? Which is your favorite race? Do you prefer older ones, or newer ones in every game? Do you think it's possible to revive a seemingly lost race such as the Kokiri in the future? Discuss!
