Things I Like: Mineru (Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom)

Mineru The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Nintendo Switch

Mineru was an interesting character and one I didn’t actually think would be that important later on. She’s the elder sister of Rauru, the first king of Hyrule and part of that weird alien race.

Her brother might have been King, but she was a genius, especially with tech.

She actually fought Ganondorf along with her brother and the other Sages and almost died because of it.

But by the time Link is ready to fight, she has been dead for centuries. So her ghost guides him to finding the right things.

Which is to find her mech suit which serves as the last sage.

Despite how epic this should have felt, it really wasn’t that helpful in battle especially against gloom as you can take them damage inside the suit too.

After you defeat the evil mech suit boss, she becomes the official last sage.

So I guess she gets to go to the afterlife officially when the game is over, but she does stick around a little bit to see Princess Zelda reunite with her friends.
