So I'm a few years late to the party. But I'm playing Tears of the Kingdom and wanted to make a post about a critique for the game.
Lots of people criticize the story for this game. And I can see why. I'm not too far into it but I'm already bored and disinterested with the Zonai stuff. But that's not where my main gripe is.
Rito village is favorite area of the game. I love the Ritos culture, and the narrative behind Revali and his people. I like that unlike the other champions in BOTW, Revali isn't a member of royalty or a chief, nor was he born with a magical power. He wasn’t born in privilege and blessed with a special power. He was an ordinary rito with exceptional talent, who practiced and worked hard to attain his skillset. We see this especially in the Champions Ballad dlc that Revali worked especially hard to develop and control his gale. He became an exceptional warrior through his hard work and perseverance.
We see this continuation in his legacy through Teba. Teba is also an exceptional warrior, but he's a normal person. He's not a descendant of one of the old champions. He doesn't have a special magic power. He became the best warrior in the village through his efforts. He's Revalis successor because like him, he's a talented warrior of no important background, that diligently trained to get to where he is.
In Totk Teba becomes the new village elder. His son Tulin has grown older and is a fledging warrior with a lot of talent. I loved this change, as I always liked Tebas little family, and I liked the decision to make an older Tulin a major supporting character. I want to take a moment to say that I actually like Tulins character a lot. He's very cute and his story has a nice lesson of working together as a team.
My main problem however is the cutscene that occurs after we defeat Colgera. We meet the ancient wind sage, who tells Tulin that he's his descendant. I took this to mean his direct descendant, as they shared the same color plumage.
After turning off the game for the night, the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became about this plot development. The rito are the one culture in Hyrule that appear to have a meritocracy. They have a village elder that's likely appointed due to their accomplishments in the village, or at least their competency for the job. Their champions become champions through their hard work. There is no royal bloodline as they don't have a monarchy, and seem to have more of an egalitarian, communal meritocracy.
So why is it that Tulin and Teba suddenly have to be special chosen by being descendants of a long gone wind sage. I loathed this plot development. The rito are the one race in game that don't have some sort of direct legacy. It was so refreshing to see that no Rito was a super special chosen in BOTW, only to have this narrative completely rewritten in ToTk. Every other sage is a descendant chosen one. Why does the rito champion also have to be related to some amazing ancestor to be important in the story?
Pov: you have a concussion and have to limit your screentime. You also burn for this YouTube video you‘re in the middle of creating. You've already manually written the script, but now can't record and edit the video cuz screen... I have resulted to manual storyboarding cuz Tulin has come to consume my brain

TULIN!!! That'd be Tulin! He was actually THE character that got me into Zelda surprisingly enough. Made me adore the rito as a race from the get go. On that first playthrough, I considered him as a brother, so much so that I called him “little bro” VERY often T-T. Already gettin nostalgic over 2023 bahaha!
So yeah! Tulin it is! Have a sketch of him!
