Midna- One Time Thing or Continous Character?

[Link_IshSexy]

God, I hope I put this thread in the right place....>.<;

Anywho...

I have to say that Midna has to be one of my all-time favorite LoZ character's. It would be such a pity if Nintendo got us so hyped up about her, and then suddenly just dropped her. She had a good role in Twilight Princess and I would like to see her have some type of GOOD role in the next game.

But that makes you think. What role WOULD she have. If you finished Twilight Princess, you'll understand. And I don't want to see her put in for the sake of it, and it to be terrible.

From what I see, Nintendo doesn't have a lot to still have her do. She'd be almost pointless. But I could be wrong. Who know's what they have up there sleeve?

Discuss, Share idea's, etc.

[DvSag]

Well, as of now it seems like Midna is gone for good, which is sad because I agree with you that she's one of the best Zelda characters to date. She's one of the few that actually have an identifiable personality.

I would say that she'd make an appearance assuming there was some sort of direct sequel but... I don't know. The way TP ended made it seem like there's absolutely no way she would ever be back.

It would be cool to see her make some sort of cameo appearance with a different Link, either before or after TP chronologically. If she was to appear in a game that happened chronologically before TP it would probably be a lot easier to explain.

However, no matter what the case I don't think she should come back in a role as important as the one she has in TP. That would just be uninventive, and lazy.

[Axle the Beast]

I think this belongs in Future Zelda, but putting it here is an easy mistake.

I haven't actually played TP, but from what I've read about the game (and I've read a lot,) it does sound like the climax of the game was pretty final.

However, someone at Nintendo (not sure who,) did state that if people wanted Midna to come back bad enough, they'd have to bring her back. So who knows?

[Alter]

I was never a fan of Midna myself. I think that she was a well-developed character, and played her part. It would be overdoing it if she made a return, though. It would almost be a little too light-hearted, if you know what I mean.

I guess I just really don't see a way she could return without a dejavu. Assuming she had a good role.

[Midna666]

I'm a big Midna fan,but I really don't see her coming back.
The problem is if she came back what would her role be?
I also thought that her goodbye at the end of TP was a very powerful moment for her character,and if she comes back then that moment is pointless.
I think that if Midna does return then she should probably have her own game then.

[Zemen]

im pretty sure Midna is gone forever. there are few characters that stick with the Zelda series and those that do are ones that have been around since the beginning or near the beginning. Midna went back to the twilight realm and destroyed the mirror which is the ONLY way to and from the twilight realm.

[FalseDestiny]

Sadly I agree that Midna is gone for good. She was also one of my favorite characters and I noticed a love interest ( or so I thought) between Link and Midna.
If she is going to be in the next one then I hope that it is an important role or they shouldn't put her in it. Goodbye Midna.

[El Bagu]

The problem is if she came back what would her role be?


As I see things this is actually the important question to ask. To give her a minor role in a sequel would not seem wright, she deserves more the that!


Midna went back to the twilight realm and destroyed the mirror which is the ONLY way to and from the twilight realm.


Logically this is also a huge problem! But as I see it they will always find a way to get her back if that is what they desire (the developers).

So what do I think? Will she be back? Somehow I get that feeling but of course I can not know. I would not mind seeing her again, but she must be an important character in the game if she ever gets back.

Oh, thank you.=]

Really? That'd be interesting. A gaming company that ACTUALLY listens to there fans! Well, we are the ones who actually BUY the games.
Could you provide a source to where you found this? I'd like to see if this is legit, if possible...

Exactly. There is almost no possible way for her to return. Unless the relic's can fix the mirror or something rather stupid like that.... And yes, It was a powerful moment, and if she DID return, I'd most likely just be pointless, and make it feel all lazy.

Her own game? I believe that's taking it to far. I like her, but I can only see her teaming up with Link in the ZELDA universe. If she had her own game, she'd most likely turn out like poor Shadow the Hedgehog, or even Cynder the Dragon.

[blackice_cc]

Yes, I liked Midna quite a lot. She was a cool little imp, and gave good advice too. However, I really would dislike it if she returned in a future game. It would totally ruin the ending of TP, which would be terrible in my opinion.

I even liked imp Midna more than her true form, and if she returned I have no doubt she would not be an imp.

I don't see her returning -in fact, I don't even see a TP sequel ever happening- but if she did, it would never be as good as in TP. I say just leave her be; she had her big moment.

[Hachi]

Personally, I thought Midna was over-developed in TP. She seemed more like the main character, with link as her shape shifting sidekick. Maybe I'm old fashion, but I would have liked to see it the other way around.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea of Link having sidekicks. They add an interesting dimension to the game, sure they have programmed responses when you talk to them, but it's nice not to be alone on your journey to becoming a hero. Navi is my favorite because while I know people complain about her "heys" and "listens" really she's one of the least intrusive and most helpful sidekicks he's had.

Midna's pretty much played out her role, which if she did make a comeback might be a good thing. She wouldn't be wandering around with an alternative motive... hopefully.

So my stand on the topic is: I really like Links fairy companions far more than I liked Midna. But long as she wasn't dragging you around hyrule by your little pointy ear throughout the whole game again, I wouldn't entirely mind a comeback from her. :P

[DvSag]

Like I said, bringing her back for a future Zelda title would ruin TP completely.

Bringing her back for a "prequel" game (as in: not the same Link) and giving her more of a recurring cameo than a major role would be ideal. Kind of like how Zelda has been portrayed in every game, excluding the ones where she's constantly in the guise of an alter ego.

Oh snap. What if they made a game about Shadow Link, or a Twili equivalent of Link and a Twili equivalent of Ganondorf? I'd so play that.

[skullkidsreveng]

Well personally I agree with DvSag, bringing Midna back would have ruined the climax of TP...


Buuuut that doesn't mean she can't come back :3

you guys forget... Zant continued to go back and forth throughout worlds withought the mirror of twilight... That means there is likeley another way.

[Midna666]

Zant used Ganon's powers to go back and forth between Hyrule and the Twilight realm.

[blackice_cc]

Zant used Ganon's powers to go back and forth between Hyrule and the Twilight realm.

If that was true, why couldn't Ganondorf just use his powers to get out of the Twilight Realm in the first place. My guess is there probably is another way between the Twilight Realm and Hyrule, that only Twili can access. Much like the wall of twilight that Link could only get into with assistance from a Twili creature.

[Midna666]

My guess is there probably is another way between the Twilight Realm and Hyrule, that only Twili can access. Much like the wall of twilight that Link could only get into with assistance from a Twili creature.

The reason why Ganondorf could not escape the Twilight Realm was because he was injured and near death (being kept alive by the Triforce of Power)when he was in the Twilight Realm.

[Mike Pothier]

I don't see why Midna can't have a cameo in a future Zelda game, but it wouldn't make sense for her to be the focus of another Zelda. Honestly, I was disappointed with Zelda's small role in TP. I think they should put the focus back on her for the next one.

[Midna666]

I was glad that Zelda did not have as big a role in Twilight Princess.
It was a nice change of pace for the characters,and for the Zelda series for the focus to be less on Zelda every now and then.

[Kazumi]

Personally, I was quite annoyed with Midna. I think she really stole Zelda's role, like Mike said. Zelda was almost like a little unimportant cameo, and Midna took the role of Link's princess. That annoyed me. I also agree that the camera should again be focused on Zelda in the next game, and Midna should not return.

Aside from that, Midna really did make an epic exit at the end of TP. Although, I believe Nintendo left it open for here to come back. Midna said "See you around" or "See you later" or something like that, I think Nintendo was, and still may be, really unsure about Midna, and if they want her to return.

I think that Nintendo kind of wanted Midna to be the main Princess character in Twilight Princess,and was that really such a bad thing?
We got one of the best developed characters in the Zelda series out of the deal.

[Kybyrian]

Going against a lot of the other opinions stated in this thread I have to say that I didn't like Midna and I really don't care if she's in another game. But onto the real point of the thread. I don't actually think Midna will be in any other games, and I think she was just a one time deal.

[Myungster]

I never really liked Midna...

But I suppose it would be nice if she was in another version.
Maybe not as important, though...

[Aerialjade]

I like Midna. She had a distinct personality and background more than all of Link's other sidekicks but I don't think she should return.
If she did make a comeback, that would really limit the story plot extent. It would probably need to have something related to the Twilight Realm and all that jazz, and the game would more likely than not need to be sequel to Twilight Princess - I'm sure many of you guys would rather not have that happen.

But they could just make her a reincarnation much like Link, Zelda and Ganondorf usually are... if Midna does return I hope she isn't the star again. I would like it better if she just made a cameo appearance.

I'm sure the Zelda team could easily work their way around the obstacles if they wanted and make it work but Midna is probably better as a one time character. She's played her role, and she went back to the Twilight Realm; it's best she stays there for a while.

As everyone else is saying, the ending of TP was pretty final.
Let's let Zelda have a larger role this time.

[UsayEldaZay]

I loved Midna, with her sass and her whole mysterious persona, but I would not want her back. Me, Haley, as a person would love to have her back but it would seem better for the series if she stayed in the Dark Realm safe and sound. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that's just me :p

I loved the ending of tp, i cried.
I'm such a baby :D

[Briles101]

I believe that midna was one of the greatest characters that help you unlike tatl and navi. Yet as annoying as the 2 fairies were they were never brought back. Navi never even continued with link to his next journey in termina after Oot. So i strongly doubt they would bring midna back.

[Vincent]

As everyone else here has said, with the way the story ended, Midna should be a one-shot. There are possible ways for her to come back, but that wouldn't really make any sense, and it would be like they're milking the character for all she's worth.

When has milking something ever stopped Nintendo?
I mean look at how much they milked Tingle.

[zeldatwilight]

I do not think that Midna will ever come back. Sure, she was a "differnt character" in a way. She had a way with words and was cruel and kinda nice at times. The reason i dont think she will come back is quite simple. At the end of Twilight Princess, she went to the Twilight Realm and the mirror Shatered making no way to go back and forth. So She probably will not ever come back, but very well could.

[Amelie]

I dont think Midna will return. Its not that I dont think she COULD come back. Its just that the game (in my opinion) does not leave anything open for her. It seems like.. well.. like the others said.. like she is gone for good. It could work in a sequel to TP but I personally hope they dont make one.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

Unless they had a direct sequel to Twilight Princess, I don't see her ever coming back or ever appearing on screen again. Like others have said, the ending of TP pretty much summed everything up. If she was seen as a "sidekick" in another game, I think it would be a little strange and awkward.

[bellum]

Well, if there is a sequel to TP, Midna will hopefully be in the game. If she wasn't what else would we do. I don't think we'd see her again if it was another game like OoT without the Twilight realm, beacause without the Twilight Realm, who is Midna?

[Link_IshSexy]

I think that Nintendo kind of wanted Midna to be the main Princess character in Twilight Princess,and was that really such a bad thing?
We got one of the best developed characters in the Zelda series out of the deal.

I never really liked Zelda in Twilight Princess...She didn't really have much of a personality. But I guess I'd be pretty pissed if my entire castle was being taken over by some jackass....

Midna just seemed to be important in this game like Zelda was in all the others. Midna had a bigger role, did it well, and I really wouldn't mind seeing her again. But I won't throw a hissy if she's not. I just hope that our favorite character have a bigger and even better personality in the next.

Is that wrong?

[knowlee]

I would love for Midna to return (me being a Midna fan), but at the same time, I would understand if they (being Nintendo and/or Shigeru Miyamoto) didn't want or feel like she needed to come back.

Although if there was a chance for her to come back, I would love for her to be an important character in the story like she was in Twilight Princess.

[Megamannt125]

Zelda has a knack for kicking characters like Midna to the curb.
Just look at Link's other sidekick-like characters, they were only in one game and never seen again, not only that but as most people have said it would ruin the ending to TP.
About a Midna game though, I think that would be a neat idea for a spin-off, but the only way I could see that happening is if it took place in the twilight realm.

[Immortal_One]

Midna as a recurring character is something I wouldn't want to see. I loved Midna, she was one of the best characters this series has ever seen, but the storyline says that she can never be in contact with the real world again. Granted, they can write something in, throw in a few rips in the space/time continuum and give her some screen time, but she was too great of a character in Twilight Princess that I don't think another role would do her previous appearance justice.

[Caleb, Of Asui]

Like everyone else here, I did like Midna a lot as a character, but it seems unlikely that her re-occurrence will fit with the story. However, I will say that they could make a story in which her appearance fits.

Perhaps the most likely reappearance of her is in a flashback, like the one in Majora's Mask where Link remembers Zelda and the Song of Time. This would only work in a direct sequel to Twilight Princess.

Another possible way of seeing her again is time travel, but I don't see that returning to Zelda any time soon. Time travel in Zelda seems like it should be something specific to the Hero of Time, relating to his title.

The last possible way for us to see Midna herself is for, in the story, another way into the Twilight Realm to be revealed or opened. This could very well happen in the same game as the flashback involving Midna. When Link and Midna meet again in this situation, we would see her in her original(story-wise) form, not the imp form that she's well known as.

I also know another thing that could and very well might happen: another character with similar design to Midna could appear. This character could be similar to either form and perhaps also have a similar personality or voice, or maybe just the latter and not the former.

[ToonLink]

I would love Midna in the game it's just if there is no Twilight realm how will she come back??? But I hope she does she was one of the best characters ever. But I would be mad if shes not in it, I think that white girl in the cover from the picture that was given could be like a counter or Midna like the Light Relm or the Spirt of the Master Sword.
Anyways back on topic, I think its a one time thing unless like I said that character in the cover is like a Light Relm Princess then Midna could come back and like the two worlds mix together or something but who knows.

[AeroCanyon]

:)I hope Midna returns, she was a fun character.Who knows? The twilight realm could be in danger and Midna could ask for link's help.The only problem is, Midna broke the mirror of twilight (what was the point of that? I know she wanted to prove her leadership, but I thought she'd want to see Link again). Still, there could be another way back to the world of light.

[Zeruda]

I definitely do not think that Midna herself will return. Why? The ending was pretty much a closed case. Midna did her thing, and in the end, she chose to protect both worlds by shattering that mirror. Bringing her back would more than likely trample all over her sacrifice.

Something like the Twilight Realm being in danger.... probably not likely. Ganon is no longer there, and the realm has been cleansed of evil. They will probably thrive and live in peace unless the sages banish somebody else there... which is doubtful unless they are crazy levels of evil. In fact, bringing back the Twilight Realm period is probably not a good idea, as it wouldn't be heading in the direction of originality. We had our Twilight adventure, let's move on to something new.

I do think that a character that fits into the category of Tsundere will be in another game. Miyamoto and Aonuma both stated that they like those kinds of women... in fact, Tetra was similar to Midna in tsundere (basically, starting out sour to sweet, but you can Google it), so it's very easy to believe that a similar character will emerge...most likely another female character.

[Durion]

I highly doubt that Midna will make an appearance or get a mention in a game unless it is a direct sequel to Twilight Princess with the same Link, I highly doubt she will be mentioned to a different Link unless it is a furture Zelda set a few decades or centuries after Twilight Princess and it is a artifact telling the story of her, Her race, Zant and Link.

To be honest I would really like it if Midna made a reappearance as a small part of the Story or even she is a main character out of the game, This is unlikely though as she is most likely going to be a One Time character for the most part.

[Pyroco101]

I'm thinking that if Midna was in another LoZ game, that they would grow on the twilight realm as an entire kingdom. I'd say 5-10 after the events of TP, Collin is a teenager who is ready to have his own adventures. The Skull Kid (or some original hoodlum) resurrects or prematurely incarnates Gannondorf (probably w/ some forgotten Twili beast/ magic). Collin witnesses some part of said ressurection and gets caught in the middle. Said hoodlum gains a secondary power from G'dorf, but so does Collin, who gets sent to the Twilight Realm by the hoodlum. (or G'dorf) He stumbles onto the main Twili castle, maybe as part of a starter temple, and finds Midna, who, at first, thinks hes Link because of the Hero's Tunic that Link would pass down to Collin. Midna trains on his new Twili powers and the main game ensues.

Whaddya think?

[Pkmnruler13]

Midna was a cool character and all, but we'll have to wait and see if she'll come back.

[Skull_Kid]

Don't get me wrong, I really liked Midna, but I don't want to see her back.
Getting her back would be as getting Majora back: high chances of ruining characters that are awesome.

Even though that, regarding Midna, Aonouma played a little of fan-service listener and said:



"Because of the way Twilight Princess ended, I don’t see her making a reappearance, but who knows? If we hear enough voices for her to come back, how can we not?"

Whaddya think?

I think playing a Zelda game where the main character is Colin would annoy me and out me off buying the game completly, That would also mean that the guy that teaches Link his Hidden Powers in TP for Colin would be Link but that wouldn't make sense if he was as Link succeeds where the guy for Link failed so he can't rest until all 7 hidden powers are passed down to Link.

[Gohma]

I don't think that she will be a main character again, but we could meet her again in the Twilight Realm.
I think she would be like OoT sages, a character to help at some moment of the game.
With all those fans claiming her return, I think Nintendo won't have the choice, she will probably be in a next game.

[Bloot]

God, I hope I put this thread in the right place....>.<;

I have to say that Midna has to be one of my all-time favorite LoZ character's. It would be such a pity if Nintendo got us so hyped up about her, and then suddenly just dropped her. She had a good role in Twilight Princess and I would like to see her have some type of GOOD role in the next game.

Discuss, Share idea's, etc.

Honestly...seeing a little panda-colored imp on Link's back when TP came out did not really phase me. She looked interesting enough, but otherwise I found myself more psyched about Link's new character design. I do agree that Midna was a well-developed character and went through a moral change in the game. I found her to be a little annoying at times, but I'm more excited to see what new sidekick Link will have this time around.

[Din]

She possibly can return to the series,but how?It would be wierd unless the game is based off of something that happens before the end or afetr the beggining of TP.A return would be epic but not so good in common sense logic.

[Steve]

Many people actually hate Midna for her annoying voice and constant dialogue, but I honestly don't think she was a bad character at all. I do think however, a second appearance would not only ruin her reputation, but overstay her welcome. She was great for that game, but that game only, and for them to even reuse Twilight in general would ruin Twilight Princess.

Well said. I liked her as a character, even though on a first play through I didn't trust her. I think if they brought her back, it might ruin the experience that was with her in TP as well.

She was a fleshed out character for that particular game, but her story ended with it. To bring her back would mean to have something go wrong in the Twilight Realm again, and that might seem redundant.

It also might seem a bit forced, because there would have to be a way to get back to the Realm. Either a second mirror would have to be found, or the first would have to be restored, and it might be a bit of a cop out. I know one of the producers said if enough people beg, she might come back, but I really think having her destroy the mirror at the end of the game was a "Sorry everyone, her story's done now."

If they really did want her to return, I doubt they would have added in that one simple act of destroying the mirror.

[ShellShocker]

Midna was a great character. She was funny, sarcastic at times, and really cool. She seems like she secretly wanted to help everyone, even when she used people to get things (the Fused Shadow with Link).

Okay, she was a good character, but I don't think she's going to come back. SPOILER She destroyed the Mirror of Twilight, seperating her from Link and Zelda END OF SPOILER. Therefore, I don't think she'd come back. It'd be too hard to fit her into another story. Don't get me wrong, I do want her back, but I don't think she'll be brought back.

Midna should only be used as a One Time Thing. Because she was really good at that.

[Pyroco101]

I think playing a Zelda game where the main character is Colin would annoy me and out me off buying the game completly, That would also mean that the guy that teaches Link his Hidden Powers in TP for Colin would be Link but that wouldn't make sense if he was as Link succeeds where the guy for Link failed so he can't rest until all 7 hidden powers are passed down to Link.

Were you reading this right?:S lemme explain:

1. 5-10 years after TP, Collin would be mature, and logically, as annoying as link himself.:)
2. I didn't say that the HS would teach Collin, i said that Midna would, because he accidentally got twili powers.
3. BUT that wouldn't mean that he could learn sword moves from (now retired, in Ordon) Link, as a tutorial:nerd:.
4. On another note, the bottom half of your comment is a little off (in grammar or LoZ lore, I can't tell:() so its hard to move on in the idea of Colin being Link's successor. (possibly as a WiiWare side story:cool:)

I dunno, they reused the Ocarina of Time in Majora's Mask, and no one seemed to mind. In fact, i think they used the ocarina BETTER in MM by using some songs with the puzzles. SRSLY, the mandatory songs in OoT were just teleports, which were fixed by one song in MM, as the mandatory songs in there actually played into the story, or was used as a puzzle element.

The Ocarina of Time was an ITEM, Midna is a character.
It's completly different, imo.
Midna was an excelent character, and, as far as "paper clip"(thanks Shadsie for the term) characters go, either Midna or Ezlo were the best.
The problem here, is, that if they reused Midna, due to the ending of TP, the character would have huge chances of being ruined.
Sometimes it's better if they leave things the way they are.

[Midna666]

I personally think that a Midna spin-off game, which takes place inbetween the time that Zant cursed her, and the time she first met Link could work.

We only saw a few quick scenes that showed this in TP, but I think that there's more story to tell of Midna just before she met Link.

This way you get another game with Midna in it, but since it's a pequel it won't ruining her exit at the end of TP.

[Botar]

They used Navi twice, why not Midna? She was a great character. I'd like to see her one more time in a game.

[Master Kokiri 9]

Sure as heck i hope so cause she was my favorite zelda sidekick so far but sadly the chances of her appearing in another zelda game are slim if not impossible since

MAJORSPOILERS!
She destroyed the mirror of twilight at the end of the game. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:



Botar they did NOT use navi twice they used her in oot then in mm they replaced her with tatl

That is NOT true. Yes, they used a FAIRY twice. But not Navi. She was only in OOT. In MM, it is Tatl that plays the fairy's role.

Now for Midna: She was truly one of the best Zelda characters ever, but I don't think she would be in another Zelda, because of the end of the game! (Not saying because of the people who haven't beaten the game.)

[Master Kokiri 9]

I personally think that a Midna spin-off game, which takes place inbetween the time that Zant cursed her, and the time she first met Link could work.

We only saw a few quick scenes that showed this in TP, but I think that there's more story to tell of Midna just before she met Link.

This way you get another game with Midna in it, but since it's a pequel it won't ruining her exit at the end of TP.

Yeah that could work and it would be impossible for her to appear in another 'main title'. *bawls* *sniff* i would love to see her in another main title though... *continues to bawl* she was awesome...

Actually with ph they used a fairy 3 times and yeah they didn't use navi twice but rather a fairy as a sidekick 3 times.

Midna would be pretty cool in the future games but it is very, highly, 99.99% unlikely that she will come back. At the end of TP when she went back to the Twilight Zone, she broke the mirror for good meaning she couldn't come back.

And also, Midna is from the Twilight World and the future games will most likely not include a Twilight world in it so it won't make sense if Midna comes back.

Although I loved her in TP, Midna will not come back in future games.

[linksfuturewife]

I have to say that midna was a fantastic character, but i beleive that since we know all her secrets, she isn't part of a great story line anymore. allthough she is way better than a fairy. that's for sure

[yumijanine]

Well, I don't think they'll bring her back because her story is pretty much concluded, it's not that open ended.
Also correct me if I'm wrong, but we've never seen a Zelda "sidekick" return.

I really love her a lot, In my opinion, she's been the best partner so far.

Yes, not the same sidekick but from the same species... Could this mean that another twili species to sidekick Link?

Nah, everyone is locked away... Or maybe someone wasn't in the realm at the time! :O

I doubt it, I believe that Midna is the only one that may be able to leave the Twilight Realm now because she is their leader, has powerful magic and I believe that she still has the fused shadows (I'm not sure on how much that will help her though, It probably wouldn't). So therefore could find a way to let herself leave or another being from Hyrule enter the Twilight Realm.

I don't think it would work that seeing that Midna as we knew her for some much of the game was a small, imp like creature, It really fitted to have her following Link around, she was desperate and knew that Link was her only hope of returning her people back to normal and killing her usurper.

She may however make return in cutscene's from future games on the Child Timeline, Nintendo though could easily twist her back into a future game by allowing Link to visit her constantly throughout the story for help (or whatever you can think of that would mean Link would have to find her).

In my opinion Nintendo have left it so she has permantly left the series as a main character, meaning that she has also left on a high note with fans.

[Alex_Da_Great]

No, I believe that the only Twili to be able to leave the realm now would be Midna, That would be because she has control of powerful magic and is the leader of the Twili. I just doubt that she'll ever make an appearance as Link's sidekick again, That would be a real shame is she did leave the series as a main character in a game now but at least she has probably left on a high note.
But what if, there was one twili who was never in the realm... Who no one has heard since... Now he/she is trying to find his/her way home and bumps into link...

Okay it's not possible but think about it...

[Shade]

Personally I thought Midna was a great character and I'd love to see her come back if it were possible. She was a heck of a lot more developed as a character, and frankly, I was glad to see that Zelda wasn't the main focus as she is in almost every single Zelda game.

Now I know some will say "But the game's name is Legend of Zelda, not Legend of Midna" Well here's a news flash, personally that title should have always been Legend of LINK since he's the friggin legendary hero in the first place. How did Zelda's name get tacked on instead? I don't know... she has a good publicist and lots of money I guess.

Another note to make... I already read somewhere here that some were upset that Zelda wasn't the main focus... but they forget that this particular installment is called the Twilight Princess... something that Zelda could obviously NOT be considering where she resides and her nature as a "sage" (maybe not officially one of the 6 sages, but she certainly can be considered one) of light. So It was perfect that it was Midna, and not Zelda who was the Twilight Princess.

But I digress... back to the main point, I think that it would be great if Midna came back again. While we're at it, it would be nice also if Ganon would somehow be changed. Yes, I know, Ganon is the ultimate baddie for Link. He's like what the Joker is to Batman. But that being said, does Batman ALWAYS go after Joker in EVERY movie? No of course not! We'd get sick of the Batman movies if that's all we ever got to see. I think some of us would eventually tire of seeing Ganon in every game. Which is one of the reasons I liked Majora's mask so much. Ganon was instead replaced by a playful and devilish spirit contained in a mask and posessing whoever so wore the mask.

[Crazyfreak]

Dudessss she's already been replaced by masterswordgirl in Zelda wii and Zelda in Spirittracks.

She's not lasting, just like any other sidekick Link ever had.

I hated her in Twilight Princess, she's the one who ruined the game.
(Come on a playable Princess Zelda in TP? DIRECT SEQUEL OF OOT?!!)
They dropped that all because of your precious little Midna.

You say those things as if somehow I'm supposed to feel like I missed out? Please! A playable princess Zelda? Well I can see my wife being interested in that, but to be completely honest, Zelda never struck me as a strong character, even when she was in hiding as Sheik. I'm sorry, but I am very glad to see that nintendo is trying to add some variety to the Zelda franchise and not have EVERY single game be about her. Really, even seeing Ganon in just about every single game can be annoying too. (Hence, I imagine that's why they added Vaati and Zant as other threatening baddies, without taking ganon off the spot light)

Not to mention, Midna, even if she did just play the role of Link's "navi" type companion, she still had a heck of a lot more character than Zelda did.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel like I missed much. I'm glad nintendo went this route and put so much emphasis on such a great story, and even expanding the player's knowledge of Hyrule, its folklore and its denizens.

[badjenea]

Anyways just saying my opinion >.< ..... First Skyward Sword is another prequel ._. just to say there was nooo way Midna could be there.... I'll go to the split time theory on the second one...... the miror is shattered just in 1 period created buy the split time but it stilll exists in the other..... but again Midna doesn't know Link bla bla bla Link doesn't know about the Mirror bla bla bla and it's gonna looke like Twilight Princess so nobody is going to make this game out ._. .... yup Midna's return is posible but it would be borring, almost a copy of Twilight Princess. There is just one chance for it to go on .... only if the Twilight realm isn't affected by time =3. Well as I said it's just my theory =3 nothing personal but opened to debate =3

[Chiraku]

I liked her too, but the only way they could make her re-appear, would be like... Tingle (forgive the bad example). He appeared in MM as a, well, guy, then he re-appears in WW all young and doesn't seem like the same person. And how he appears in OoA and MC. I understand that we've been told that there is one timeline, but unless Tingle's immortal, its utterly impossible that its the same guy! what I'm saying is she'll probably be brought back as a different person but with similar qualities like appearance and behavior. Strike me down if I've made a fool of myself...

[Jedi Link]

Even though i've never played TP, I've heard alot about it and I feel like she was one of the only side kicks in zelda that really evolved as a character (except maybe Tatl) And I would love to see her again.

[Hero of Time]

I think she's done, and I'm glad. I loved her as a character in Twilight Princess, but I wouldn't want to see her brought back continuously and effortlessly as a fan-pleaser. She did her job in Twilight Princess - and a great job of it - but it is now time for her to leave the series.

Unless there is a direct sequel to Twilight Princess down the road, I highly doubt she'll appear. If she does appear in a direct sequel to Twilight Princess, she would hopefully not be Link's helper again; I'd be OK with her being central to the plot, perhaps, but not as a character you're with 24/7.

I'd like to reiterate that I think Midna was a great character. She's definitely one of my favorite helpers in the series, and possibly my favorite. However, to reserve any bit of legacy she has amongst the series and us fans, I sincerely hope she is not forced into another game.

[Draymorath]

you guys forget... Zant continued to go back and forth throughout worlds withought the mirror of twilight... That means there is likeley another way.
Umm...When? As far as I remember he never actually left the Twilight Realm after the fourth dungeon. He awakened Stallord by stabbing a sword into his face (jerk!) and used it as a distraction so he could go to the top of the mirror tower and destroy the mirror. He must have slipped in just before it shattered and walked back to the throne room in the Palace of Twilight (likely laughing his butt off about how you were probably dying a slow and painful death) and sat down on the throne, using some magical means of keeping you in check. As you got closer and closer to reforming the Mirror of Twilight, he must've been becoming more and more nervous, slowly losing his grip. And when you finally reached him in the throne room, he went over the edge, fearing that you would remove him from his position of power permanently...Wow didn't expect my explanation to be that long XD.

In any case, I would FREAKING LOVE it if Midna made a come-back. Even if she didn't have a large role. I would prefer she did...a lot...but just as long as she returns and has the same character as before, I wouldn't care.

[Yuuki]

This may be true however; Yes he was able to travel between Twilight and Light realms however, perhaps the Triforce of Power gave him the opportunity to Travel between each realm. Remember Midna was banished so perhaps he thought she might come back and try and reclaim the throne so he shattered the Mirror of Twilight to avoid this from happening.

But as we don't see Zant appear in Hyrule after the Mirror is Shattered it makes sense that he could of Transported between the realms and then smashed it. The only time we do see him in Hyrule after that however is when Zant teleports around to the various boss/mini boss chambers by means of a glowing portal (perhaps similiar to the TM) and perhaps this uses the same power of TM in on way or another.

[HookShotFTW]

Well, I have played Tp but not beat it. Yet I kinda... read all the spoilers. So if she did appear again it would have to be a WW type cameo with the stained glass.

[lightmagician60]

yes i want Midna back,
her, Linebeck & Ezlo where my fav. side characters

[SariaSage]

I hope Midna is a continous character I love her she is really funny.

[NekoTamer]

Since Midna is a decendant of the sorcers who were banished to the Twilight Realm, I don't think she has eternal life so she won't be around in another game. Unless there's another mirror of twilight or a portal of some kind, I don't think we'll be seeing the Twili again and I think it's for the best. Nothing good comes out of reusing a character when they're not set up to be brought back. Remember what happened to Michael Myers and Freddy Cruger?

[tloz97]

I completely agree with you, i think midan was a great character, but after the ending of TP i have no idea what role she would play in another game

[Demongurl]

I would love to see Midna return, but I think after the whole Twilight Princess deal she will not or shouldn't return. =\

[chucker173]

I think midna is gone for sure she surved as the navi of twilight princess just like fi in skyward sword they are in one game always the role changes

[Theunholyganon]

I am pretty sure Midna was a one time deal kinda like Navi and maybe Fi but we will never know.

[yellow_turtle]

To be honset I really hope she doesn't come back. I never really liked her at all.

[LinkMan]

Nintendo should bring back Midna in a future Zelda game.
