Despite being among the franchise's most iconic and arguably memorable characters, Nintendo missed the perfect opportunity to include one particular individual in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Between The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, many familiar faces from the series appeared in both Zelda games on the Nintendo Switch. Yet with Tears of the Kingdom in particular featuring classic series characters like Ganondorf, Beedle, and even a new interpretation of Rauru, one iconic character that has been a mainstay of past Zelda games remained absent.
