When it comes to story, A Link Between Worlds will always be blessed for one particular new character: Ravio. This silly looking character find of 2013 will always be a favorite of mine because of the duality of the character. At first, it seems like he is just a silly little guy wearing a body…

A Link Between Worlds, unfortunately, gets overlooked in the Zelda community. It sucks because there are just so many weird and wonderful characters in this delightful romp.
