A brief word of introduction:Shortly after the release of Tears of the Kingdom, I was chatting with a couple of fellow Zelda creators about the beauty that is the NPCs within the game that round out the world and bring a sense of life and normalcy to the various regions you visit. We decided then that it would fun to pay homage to the beloved NPCs, both old and new, from the version of Hyrule from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. With a bit of refining, we established our concept and gathered a team of wonderful, enthusiastic lovers of these two games to help bring this zine to life.It's our goal through this zine to celebrate as many of the NPCs from BotW and TotK as we can, both the prominent and popular as well as the minor ones who are often overlooked. You can anticipate enjoying examples of not only the Champions from BotW, but the Sages from TotK, as well as the 'Sons from Tarrey Town and many more. You may also look forward to seeing a selection of lesser known characters like Magda (lovingly dubbed by some as 'Flowerblight Ganon'), Sayge, the eccentric dye shop owner, or Cotera, the Great Fairy overlooking Kakariko Village!We look forward to utilizing the combined skills of artists, writers, and alternate creators alike to bring together a compilation of art and stories that will exemplify the wide array of characters these two games have to offer. So, on behalf of the entire Mod Team, we invite you to join us in interacting with these eclectic and diverse Residents of the Wild!MickeyTaco

It's so hard to narrow down my favorites! But I keep going back to Pikango and Beedle. I love the artistic eye that Pikango has, and the talent he has for capturing beautiful vistas (and I imagine creatures) within Hyrule. With Beedle, I genuinely adore his personality! He's quirky and excitable while maintaining a bit of mystery with the 'magic' that allows him to somehow always be at any stable all the time to meet the needs of the Hero and NPCs alike. What secrets is he hiding in that massive beetle-shaped pack he carries? Nobody knows~

I really like Ritos ever since my first encounter of them, but Kass and Penn stuck with me. With Kass' creative side and Penn's search for truth, I could imagine the two of them being great travel buddies. I like that both of their occupations are vastly different, and yet they're somewhat connected. One example is that Kass became Penn's inspiration for honing his own skills which I find quite adorable.
