Listen, I can't be the only person who saw Koltin from Legend of Zelda after watching Very Important People ID: A picture of Koltin from Legend of Zelda (tears of the Kingdom) and Brennan Lee Mulligan's costume in a recent ep of VIP

Okay I’m gonna talk about it. Spoilers under the cut for the end of the Koltin side quest. If you want it to remain a surprise please just ignore this post.

Okay, so Koltin’s quest is all about eating the Bubbul Gems. He gives you rewards at first but then becomes convinced that he must eat ALL of them at once to achieve his dream of turning into a Satori.

However, when he finally does eat them all. He doesn’t turn into a Satori. He turns into a large Blupee. You know. Those rabbit like creature you’ve been getting the Bubbul Gems from. He goes hopping off into the night and the monster balloon stall becomes abandoned from then on.

When you tell his brother Kilton, he will be surprised and a little sad. The dialogue sounds an awful lot like someone being happy their relative is “in a better place” but also sad that they’re no long with them. It has a bittersweet feel to it and was one of the more shocking side quests I’ve encountered in the game.

I wonder how much of the dialogue is an analogue to how Satoru Iwata passed away from cancer. Like I said, a lot of the dialogue from Kilton is very sad but also happy for his brother having found something he wanted (Even if his want resulted in him being magically transformed into a type of monster and will never be able to be turned back). I can imagine that for someone struggling with an illness it can be very similar. Sad they’re gone but happy they’re no longer in pain.

I just have a lot of feelings about this side quest and I’ve not seen many people talk about it at all.

It’s so important that you find Koltin’s balloon on Satori Mountain with three Blupees hanging around it. You could imagine a version of the game where the developers thoughtlessly put just one Blupee near the balloon to signal that Koltin was still around, and I would hate it. It would make it seem like Koltin was lonely and clinging to his old life, maybe even filled with regrets. With three Blupees, the message is so much more positive and hopeful. He’s thriving as a Blupee. He has Blupee friends. He’s showing his old pre-transition stuff to his friends. Maybe Koltin even introduced his friends to Kilton when he dropped the balloon off. It’s beautiful. I love that for him.
