Reading into Things


There's a ton of interesting stuff in the Hyrule Historia. Particularly, though, are the notes that are included with some of the drawings. In particular, one note included with some concept art of Fi.

This note reads: "! In the game the head will not be a Mii, right?" (13). Based on this, it sounds like the developers had a little fun with the game before finishing it - just like they did with Twilight Princess by populating the game world with Miis.

Or, maybe there was going to be a more personable version of Fi. A version that had the face of one of your Miis. Of course, Mii graphics and Skyward Sword's style would clash to a terrible degree. Nonetheless, it's interesting to see such a note beside some concept art of such an important character. They're trying to bring multiplayer to the Wii U installment of Zelda, so maybe that's where this "Mii as companion" idea will return and actually make it into the final version.
