Midna@gaming-characters
Midna is beloved because she has an arc sharp enough to cut through Zelda's usual mythic distance. She mocks the hero, uses him, grows attached, and ends up feeling startlingly vulnerable for a character that first arrives as pure attitude.

Example
Her final scenes in Twilight Princess land because the game spent hours earning that sincerity under all the sarcasm.

Why it matters
Midna matters because she showed Zelda companions could be written as real characters instead of tutorial furniture.
