9 Video Game NPCs Everyone Wished They Could Kill
8. That Little Fairy Kid Blocking The Exit - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
A quick Google search tells me this kid’s name is Mido but I’m happy with what I’ve called him in the entry description because it’s what we all know him as: the little bastard who runs slide to slide, calls you Mr. No Fairy, and won’t let you get to see The Great Deku Tree.
Mido is the leader of the Kokiri and I can only assume he gave himself that title and was too much of a dick for anyone to want to argue with him. He has a go at Link for not having a fairy, not having gear, not being a real man–which is pretty rich in a village of kids–but at least we can’t accuse him of targeting Link because he’s a bully to pretty much everybody. Okay, so he gets apologetic in his later years but the bar is in hell. Particularly as after you go through the tricky motions of besting the Great Deku Tree dungeon and watch the big guy pass away thanks to Ganondorf’s meddling, he decides it’s all Link’s fault.
I’m not convinced speedrunners discovered hacks that let them bypass Mido to get better run times, I think they just didn’t want to deal with the guy.
The writing was on the wall when he called himself The Great Mido so maybe we should have seen our burgeoning hatred from the start but either way, he’s on the kill list.
