It’s so funny seeing fanart of your favourite character comforting you or saying something nice to you bc you just know that if they met you irl they’d hate you
(Upfront, I am a Sidlink shipper. However, that actually has nothing to do with the following opinion.)
Say what you will about Yona, I think we are all overlooking the most glaringly obvious flaw with the character:
She's fucking ugly.
I mean, the design team at Nintendo really screwed the pooch on this one. If she had that demure beauty like Mipha I could've lived with this development, but noooo.
Her Lime green color scheme doesn't compliment Sidon's Red at all. You could have picked blue, purple, gold (< I know that's orange cut me some slack), one of the standard colors of the other Zora characters in BotW. But no.
Her horns look like Leucochloridium - the parasitic worm that invades a snail's eyestalks. Just with less pulsating.
And let's not forget that 500 years down the line, we are looking at a female Muzu - I hope you all realize this. She's the only other stingray based Zora, they have to be related.
In conclusion, Mipha is lovely and Yona is shit. Plus, the childhood best friend who just shows up out of nowhere and was never mentioned or alluded to before, even in DLC, is just really lazy writing.
