Miis continue to live on through Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Mii lovers, by no means surrender hope, because it seems that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom nonetheless makes use of them to make its NPCs.

Ah, Miis. Simply the perfect factor to return out of the Wii, they have been an extremely enjoyable and foolish approach to make variations of you and your pals, even when they’re fairly restricted in what you’ll be able to truly do. Nonetheless, they left an enduring impression on Wii homeowners, as they nonetheless exist proper to date, even having relevance because of the port of Miitopia on Nintendo Swap in 2021. One factor you may not find out about them is that Miis are literally the idea of many of the NPCs you discover in Breath of the Wild, with modding even letting you import Miis to customize the NPCs. Effectively there’s some excellent news for Tears of the Kingdom gamers who have been hoping that will be the case within the sequel, as it’s!

As shared by Alice, or HEYimHeroic, who made the unique discovery for Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom makes use of the very same system to make a few of its extra generic human NPCs. “Similar to in Breath of the Wild, the human NPCs in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom use a complicated model of Miis!” wrote Alice on Twitter. “Modding the sport permits us to import Miis as Tears of the Kingdom NPCs!” They even offered some modded NPCs to indicate you precisely what they imply, and sure, they did use the one and solely Matt (those that know, know).

It is a enjoyable little easter egg for people who prefer to know a few of the behind the scenes bits, and I for one admire it being somebody who spent an excessive amount of time making Miis as a child. I am additionally glad to see one thing so enjoyable return for Tears of the Kingdom, although I can not forgive the actual fact you continue to cannot pet the canine (and you’ll’t play as Zelda both).
