For those didn't play the E3 demo like myself, during the bird riding stage, there is a character a bit older than Link, whose hair reminds me of Turbo Warrior from Yu-gi-oh 5D's, who enters this competition with his two lackeys. During the event, he knocks Link aside, saying that he wants the glory and has his boys throw eggs at Link. It was of course confirmed by Aounoma that this character is a school bully with a thing for Zelda that pretty much is a foil for Link.
I'm curious about it though, do YOU guys think there should be a bully type character for Link? I mean, there was Mido, so we know this isn't knew. Except this bully will apparently be appearing a lot more.
Personally, as I said in the news topic's comment section, I do like the idea of the main character having a bully type character to contend with. While they are usually cliche, uninteresting and often are cruel for no good reason, they sort of present a change in the main character. Take for example, Flash Thompson from Spider-Man. When Peter Parker was still an average bookworm, Flash Thompson was pretty much the worst person in the world for him. As he became Spider-Man, Peter grew in confidence, maturity, bravery, and standing up against people who made Flash look wimpy in comparison, helped him shape into the kind of person Flash regrets tormenting when he was younger. This is sort of something I wanted to see in earlier titles, when Link starts there's this total jerk who hits on girls, brags about his skills, and treats people who don't respect him like dirt, but in an actual fight against monsters, he's incompetent. He would witness Link's growth and come to see he isn't the useless wimp he always thought he was, but was twice the person he could never be. I'm actually hoping for this kind of development in Skyward Sword.
