Our Love for an Imp

[Cryzeu]

It is incredibly fortunate for me how i have a 5-year old and a 1-year old brother to keep my parents busy becuase if they would go through my room and my computer, they would probobly have me see a psychiatrist, thinking i've lost my mind...

Ya, I think you already have...

Don't dwell on this whole WMB, have fun in life. This shouldn't be effecting your life.

Apparently i structured that part very badly, i didn't mean that I think i've lost my mind, but that my parents would think so. This character has most definetley affected me alot but not to a degree where it has got any real consequence... Except some minor things... But that wasn't as much consquence for me as it was for others.

I am new to this forum and stumbled upon this so i figure, why not. I'll share my story on how i came to obtain my feelings for Midna.

Back when the game first came out a friend of mine told me he had went out and bought a copy of TP. I hadn't heard of it at the time so he invited me over to play. I accepted his offer to feed my curiosity on what it was so i went over on a saturday afternoon.

As i progressed through the game and came into the world of twilight and transformed into a wolf I saw her when I was in my prison cell. Giving me a snotty attitude I started to resent her.

After that afternoon he let me borrow his copy because he never had much time to play it. I got home and as i went through the game finding out more and more who and what type of person she was, I was still skeptical on whether or not i should keep putting up with her.

When I came to the part where Zant attacked her and put her in a near death state, I saw the game as "overdramatic", yet I felt a shade of sadness. As I rushed her to Zelda I started to feel tears burn my eyes. wondering what this feeling was I pushed it aside to complete my objective, but even as I did, I couldn't get rid of the sadness shaded over me. At the age i was at, I didn't know what I was feeling yet tears streamed down my face. As the years went by, and the more I played, i came to the conclusion that I had developed feelings for Midna, and may have even fell in love with her. It sounds ridiculous to fall in love and develope feelings for someone who doesnt exist, but I had.

Even to this day, I still have my feelings for her and always will.

Midna will always have my heart

Welcome to W[M]B. (I am writing a book (sequel) to Twilight Princess. It is in the Fan Art forum. I don't plan on posting any more chapters for awhile. But I am still writing don't worry).


Those brackets are of significance. I will say nothing more.

I guess I shall join everyone else and write about my experience. I found this site a few dyas ago and I already visit it twice a day, just to relieve myself of these... Feelings. It is a bit lengthy, sorry about that.
----------
I practically grew up with Link as if he was my older brother. I was first exposed to him at 5 years old when my mom bought the collector's edition for the gamecube and began playing ocarina of time. At the time, all I knew was that the main chracter wore green and his name was "zelda" (of course, not anymore). A couple years pass by, and i start playing OoT myself. I had a hard time getting past some parts, as they weren't really designed for kids in their single digits, so i always played with my mom along side me. Still, the deepness of that story managed to capture even my young little feelings and i was sold on anything related to LoZ.

A couple years pass, and i bought and played WW. From here on out i was able to play on my own. I have to admit that the diversity of the overworld and extensiveness of the story is second to none here.

Fast forward to 2006. Here i was, waiting overnight to get one of the first wii consoles and first copies of TP. Boy was I excited!! I couldn't wait to get home and play it. I was speechless before even starting the game. At how the graphics were so clear. I knew that this was going to be a great game.

I didn't do any background research, so all i had to reference were the shots on commercials. I started playing, and instantly got hooked. After many sleepless nights and 40 hours of total gameplay, i had defeated ganon. I was finished in about a month. Figuring that i had my fair share of fun, i put down the game and moved on.

...but hold on a second. What happened to all of my emotions to the game? I have to say that when it comes to stories, especially games, i have to go through it again to fully understand it. I don't really know why, I just do. Maybe I focus on beating the game too much...

I've beaten the game several times already, but still no feelings. "What's going on with this dude?" You might think. Well, although i beat it that many times, i hadn't actually restarted the game from the beginning. Yes, that was my problem.

After re-buying TP from gamestop (i lost the original, then had to wait forever for it to be in stock) i started a new file. By now i had forgotten most of the elements of the game. Every now and then i would remember some things, but for the most part, it was as good as new.

And then came the scene in the cell at the castle. I saw it differently this time; before, i had completely overlooked this part. I was then able to comprehend Midna a little more, and that was the start of the path to my virtual affection. She had absolutely the worst social personality to start with, but somehow that imperfection made her unique enough for me to notice her.

I got through the forest temple easily enough, but i still talked to her a bit, even when unecessary. When i finally got to Kakariko village, i remember her mentioning that i was an "unsung hero" because no one could see me. To be honest, that really didn't matter to me, because although the children were part of the story, i was more focused on Midna. Somehow, this time she seemed more charming than last.

The next memorable moment was actually in the lakebed temple, at the mini boss. I already knew what to do, but i decided to ask for "advice" and see what she says at this part. I laughed a little when she said "EWW! WHAT IS THAT? This ones on you, Link" and then I lost it when I talked to her again and she started getting mad. She is just so cute when she is mad :3

Of course we all remember that one moment halfway through that one game, with that mean tongue guy. Although I raged at Midna being hurt, I didn't seek revenge on Zant, which now seems odd. On my way to the castle, i was going at a straight shot, but because the music was so beautiful, i skimmed it across the edges of the map the whol way. I was about to cry by the time I got to the bar. After zelda saved midna from death and me from depression, i slowed down my progress so as to savor my time with midna more.

My love for her grew as I made my way to the sacred grove. I was completely infatuated by the time i got to gerudo desert. I felt her pain as she explained how here people were outcasts of hyrule and when she discovered the mirror was broken. I actually said "yes i will" out loudwhen she asked link to help recover the pieces.

with all of them recovered, i finally got to the twilight realm. I knew that midna was much more happier here, so i felt the same way. I was surprised at how short the dungeon actually was here, and i got to zant quicker than expected. After the cutscenes i finally came to my senses and realized he had hurt our beloved little twili and i had almost let him get away with it. I used this sudden thrist of revenge to instantly defeat zant, and it felt good to do such a thing. Midna made it better by finishing him.

One more place left. I was sort of disappointed at this, but i ventured on nonetheless. My favorite scene has to be here, where midna uses the fused shadows to break ganon's barrier. Just seeing midna in link's arms gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, as if she was in my own arms. I kind of paused at this scene for a bit so i could enjoy it. She is just so beautiful, words fail me this time.

I had no problem fighting ganon, giving that he too had treated midna badly.the final blow at the end, when ganon was down, felt so good, i actually got up and had to walk off my excitement. As we all can anticipate, this excitement was short-lived, for the ending was upsetting.

I can still clearly feel those same feelings right now. There were so many mixed feelings: i wanted to slap link for not following after midna, i wanted to flood the house with tears because midna was gone, and i would have attemped to physically stop her, had i not gained control of myself. I found myself in limbo for the next week or so, not really sure what to think of it or accept it as it is. Thankfully enough, this website appeared as i was browsing midna stuff around the web. I now have found peace of mind, and sympathetic midna fans. I would like to thank this team effort and contribute to the cause as much as i can. Thank you all for your sympathy.

Hi! I'm new, and this seems like a good place to start. I'm new to the idea of a forum, too, but I know I can adapt with a bit of direction here and there. So, here's my story about Midna...
Twilight Princess is often considered one of the best Legend of Zelda games. If you’ve played it, and truly felt the emotional connection to it I do, then you know this is as it should be. But have you ever asked yourself why? What makes Twilight princess so engaging, vivid, and somehow so… alive? I sincerely believe that the answer is Midna. Yes, that mysterious creature of the twilight, who manipulates you, puts you down, and gives you exasperatingly vague hints, is the reason this game is so incredible. But game doesn’t seem like the right word somehow. You access it through a disc and a GameCube, but Twilight Princess will always feel like more than just any game, thanks to our friend Midna. Midna makes the game more than slashing stuff, collecting light tears, and finding some cursed mirror. Midna inflicts us with annoyance, frustration, maybe even vendetta… and love. At first she’s just that antagonizing shadow that never goes away, always ready with a snide comment. But it all changes suddenly at a desperate hour. Both of you realize how much you depend on each other, how much you don’t resent each other… and how much you want each other. Any character real enough to twist your feelings like that is worthy of another adventure.
At least as I write this, I have not yet completed Twilight Princess. But I have heard of what awaits at my adventure’s end, and in my heart I dread it. Midna is my shadow, my companion, my friend… the best friend I’ve ever known in a video game. She’s a real friend, true as any I can touch, because she touches me. I wish our adventure could never end.
Midna, I can’t lose you. It can’t end with Twilight Princess. I want you back. We want you back. I need you back. Midna…

Outstanding job, you two. I enjoyed reading through both of these Testimonials. It's amazing what a single character can do to you. Not to mention how different we can express what she actually does. It's always interesting for me to read these stories even if they're so long, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that the contribution is highly appreciated.

...Wow, that really made me rethink why I'm here; I really wanted Midna back because I wasn't particularly fond of other Zelda games and I thought TP was the best I'd played (not just because of Midna, but that's beside the point). Now, I'm not sure if I should be here at all, since I also went through a dip in depression I've had a severely logical outlook on life and I would be forever incapable of feeling such emotions towards a video game character.
But still, I'll say why I liked her as much as I did and why she should be back (I've mentioned it before but it's more relevant here). She was not like most other Link companions before, she wasn't some best friend the game forced us to like from the beginning, nor was she just there to tell us how to play the game and occasionally come out to commend our bravery and express her gratitude; she came to us for her own gain, she was condescending and manipulative, from what I saw, there was no relationship between Link and Midna and with none there, I could judge her as I saw fit, she wasn't a friend, nor an enemy so I had the whole worlds worth of opinions to select. I chose to resent her, as most would, but I also held respect for her (well, as much as I could, given the circumstances) because, to an extent, she reminded me of me. I continued through the game with no real thought of the imp hiding in my shadow and occasionally riding on my back (she saw me as a tool, I saw her as such also [back to my reference of her reminding me of me]) but as the game progressed and when I first entered the desert and there was the brief cut-scene of her talking with Link I realized: 'I like her' (again, just as much as possible under the circumstances), and as I worked my way through the desert I thought to myself why this is, my conclusion was: we became friends. This is what's so special about Midna, not her personality or her part in the story, but how her and Link grew, and subconsciously, I grew with her, and as her resentment dwindled, so did mine.
This pretty much ends my side of the story. But I'm somewhat swayed as to why I want her back. I don't want her for me, after seeing how much more she means to so many other people, I think it's worth seeing us all happy than just for the sake of another good Zelda game. Thanks guys, I've learned a lot today (as cliche as that sounds, I have). Cheers guys.

Very well said, Twist. I know that submissions are "officially" closed, but I would love to see this added to the Testimonials. What say you, Freeze?
