“People Hated Him in BOTW Too”: Fan Reacts on Why Nintendo Could Not Succeed in Making This The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom Hero Likeable

Characters from certain games sometimes become part of our lives. They may be our idols or heroes, or sometimes they are the terrifying villains whom we hate the most. It can be Captain Price from Call of Duty or Dahaka from Prince of Persia. But Yunobo from The Legend of Zelda series has seen both sides of the coin.

Yunobo featured in both The Legend of Zelda installments: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Fans liked Yunobo in the previous one, but somehow they started hating him in the later one. So, what might be the reason for this strange feeling about Yunobo? Let’s find out.

Yunobo: The Young Goron of The Legend of Zelda

Yunobo is one of the major characters in the Zelda series. He is a young and shy Goron who lives in the Goron city in the Eldin region. He is the successor of the Goron champion, Daruk, who was one of the Six Sages—the Sage of Fire. Although he is not as brave as his grandfather, the main protagonist of the Zelda series Link makes Yunobo a bit braver.

Despite Yunobo’s kind and shy nature, fans have started hating this character in Tears of the Kingdom after liking him in Breath of the Wild.

According to this fan, the reason for hating Yunobo might be his growing up in Tears of the Kingdom. People liked him when he was a baby in Breath of the Wild. But as he grows up, physically, not mentally, people don’t take it as a good thing.

Another fan thinks the mask given by Zelda was the main reason people liked him in Breath of the Wild. Wearing the mask, Yunobo became brave, fearless, and evil. This character shift seemed to be liked by Zelda fans. But upon giving up the mask, Yunobo again became dumb and simple, which is not the type the fans wanted.
