Legend Of Zelda: 10 Best Characters Who Only Appear In One Game
Did you know Navi the Fairy was only in one game?!
Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series has been releasing games consistently since 1986, meaning that it's older than Dragon Ball, Pokemon, The Simpsons and the Jurassic Park movies. A long shelf life like that sure does allow for plenty of opportunities to create once-in-a-lifetime characters, and this series has not faltered in that regard.
The likes of Link, Princess Zelda, Ganon, Skull Kid, Impa, and even Tingle have become completely synonymous with the franchise. Even casual gamers can identify the most popular characters at a quick glance, thanks to their strong designs and presence in the games. However, it might come as a surprise to learn that some of the property's best figures have had very little screen time.
Link gets to be the hero of every game and Zelda gets to boast her name in the title, but plenty of stellar characters have come and gone in only one sitting, proving that you can make a big impression in a short amount of time. The following ten are some of the best to have ever graced the land of Hyrule, and they did it despite only appearing in one game.
10. Kass - Breath Of The Wild
Roaming the lands of Hyrule in Breath of the Wild is one of the purest gaming experiences you can have, with a surprise waiting for you around every corner. One of the most enjoyable of these experiences was hearing the sound of a distant accordion and running into a charming Rito named Kass.
This character was a travelling minstrel who journeyed around the land in search of the "Ancient Songs." You could find him around plenty of stables within the open world. Upon meeting him, he would help guide you towards shrine quests and play songs for you that helped flesh out the game's lore. He was popular enough that he became a part of the game's expansion pass, playing a key role in the Champions' Ballad DLC.
Kass was easy to love as his passion for music, ability to expand on the history of the land and unique musical scoring made him a fantastic character to encounter.
Many players had hoped to see the musically gifted bird return for the sequel. But, sadly, Tears of the Kingdom is entirely devoid of the figure, with future DLC being the only hope to see him flying back into Hyrule.
