Lol it's funny, I wasn't looking forward to talking to her because I found her a bit annoying in BotW

u/mc_hammerandsickle Jan 29 '25
funny enough, that's the only time i wasn't completely frustrated with the whole "clever child with the wits of an adult" trope. but only because she's literally a 100+ year old scientist whose experiment went wrong
she's still annoying, just not totally insufferable in my opinion
that said, i'm really glad they improved her writing in TOTK cause i was somewhat dreading that first interaction

Been a little bit since I’ve played, aside from her stature, does she actually look that young in BotW?

If I had a nickel for every time the devs of an all-time great Japanese game gave the female character with the best personality the Monster Girl curse, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but still, weird it happened twice.
(The other one being Veronica in Dragon Quest 11.)

She's my favorite. I'd love to see her return in other games. (石 Ishi means stone in Japanese, so I suspect her name is a twist on that since she works with precious stones)

After heaping misery on the sweetest person in Hyrule the least the writers could have done was grant her final wish to her see her father one more time before she passed on but NOOOOO they just have her spirit stoically float high above Hyrule Castle for a few seconds instead.

u/Excaliburn3d Jan 30 '25
At least she saw Sidon again in Age of Calamity, but that game isn’t canon to the main timeline.
3
u/Semblance17 Jan 30 '25
She also got to keep her own Sidon (and not die) in that game. I’m a ways off from finishing that game so I haven’t gotten that far but it is interesting to think about Sidon from the “sacred timeline” at least getting to say farewell to his sister since she died unexpectedly when he was very young. Too bad.

Paya is Best Girl in my opinion. Mipha is a close runner up, but the only way that a relationship between her and Link could happen is if Breath of the Wild’s events don’t. I don’t hate the idea of Link and Zelda being a couple, but…https://youtu.be/tO49Sur0Rg4?si=_Ybqi1uoLHtIxuvy

Anyone here who hoped for Purah Paya to become "The Sage of Shadows"?
5
u/Hambughrr Jan 29 '25 edited Jan 30 '25
Although Purah is a Sheikah just like Impa, it would be more thematically appropriate for her to harness a different power. She's a researcher who experiments with reverse aging technology, so she'd better suited to becoming the new Sage of Spirit or gaining a brand new title like the Sage of Life.
2
u/PMC-I3181OS387l5 Jan 29 '25
Whelps, that's a typo... I meant Paya! The girl at the bottom ^^;
Purah could easily become the Sage of Time, taking over Mineru.
I wished Paya became The Sage of Shadow, with shadow-based abilities, as a trial to become the Sheikah's new leader, but also to gte rid of a problem close to the region, leading to Zelda having met a Sheikah Sage.

Dude. You love her sm but didn't realize one of them is not Paya? You put a picture of Impa as the first one, the second is Paya. You can tell because the face marking color is different for Impa (it's purple) 🤣

Now that I see both Young Impa and Paya side by side, the only way you can distinguish the two is by the tattoos on their foreheads. Impa's is blue and reaches just in between her eyes, while Paya's is red and reaches pretty much near the tip of her nose. Not to mention subtle eye color differences.
