Well at first I wasn't like OMG MEDLI IS THE GREATEST..in fact I didn't think much of her during the game. I thought of her as a bother (during the earth temple), although it was fun flying as her ^.^ - and I was like meh. That of course had no effect on the fact that I loved Wind Waker without a doubt, however... over time she started to grow on me. As much as she has a beak I think she's really pretty and she's extremely loyal and loving. Her song is pretty friggin neat too, how she plays it on the harp, it's one of my favorites out of the game. Then I started to create fanart to her, and then I just found out I really really liked her as a character. She's probably earned her #1 rank as my favorite characters/females from the Zelda series though her and Saria are very close for my spot at #1 but they both have a special place in my heart.
