History Characters / TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWildChampions

* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Is introduced in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' wearing a jacket which, in addition to his mask, makes him seem more menacing while reflecting his newfound callousness; tellingly, the jacket disappears immediately once Link frees Yunobo from the mask's control.]]

* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Is introduced in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' wearing a jacket and wristbands which, in addition to his mask, makes him seem more menacing while reflecting his newfound callousness; tellingly, the former two disappear immediately once Link frees Yunobo from the mask's control.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:His first scene from ''Tears of the Kingdom'' (where he smugly lords over the other Gorons and makes a disparaging comment about Link's size) is enough to let players know something is off; his boss fight [[BossSubtitles subtitle]] lampshades this by reading "clearly not himself".]]

* HeroicLineage: The Sages of Wind, Fire, Lightning, and Water were the ancestors of their successors Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon respectively. By proxy, this also makes the Sages of Fire, Lightning and Water ancestors to Daruk, Urbosa, and Mipha, making Revali the only Champion unrelated to his predecessor or successors.

* TheMentor: She's by far the most [[WomenAreWiser mature, wisest and understanding]] of the Champions in addition to acting as TeamMom.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler:His fiance Yona is introduced in Tears of the Kingdom. It's mentioned that they were childhood friends and they are married after Sidon ascends to the throne.]]

* ActionGirl: In Tears of the Kingdom. Riju has become much more proactive in combat, dual wielding two Scimitars of the Seven and charging into battle with the other Champions against Ganondorf and his forces.

* MustMakeAmends: The Gerudo Sage of Lightning vows to do this as she vows that her descendant will continue to fight against the Demon King, as she and the rest of the Gerudo are responsible for Ganondorf's existence in the world.

* HeroicLineage: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in ''Breath of the Wild'', where he's the only one of the four "New Champions" to not be related to his predecessor by blood. [[spoiler:Played straight in ''Tears of the Kingdom'', where it's revealed that Tulin, and by extension Teba, is a descendant of the Rito Sage of Wind from 10,000 years ago.]]

* BadassAdorable: Tulin is an adorable fledgling, but [[spoiler:he's also a descendant of the Rito Sage of the Wind from 10,000 years ago who has surpassed his father Teba and his hero Revali as both a Rito Warrior and a Master of the Wind and who, alongside the other sages, ends up helping Link in the final battle, and is even able to stun ''Ganondorf'' for a brief moment.]]

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Teba is undoubtedly an adult, but he's also very much in the early stages of his prime, enough that he was able to train further and improve his physical strength to where he could wield the Great Eagle Bow by the events of ''Tears Of The Kingdom'', which he himself admitted he was unable to do in "Breath Of The Wild".

* {{Foil}}:
** To her bodyguard, Buliara. Riju is a short, young Gerudo who relies on magic, sand seal Patrica, and two scimitars to fight while Buliara is a tall, muscular Gerudo who relies on her giant claymore and her physical strength.
** To Demon King Ganondorf in ''Tears of the Kingdom''. Both are Gerudo chieftains by birthright, but they couldn't be any more different. Riju is a young girl who deeply cares about her people and tries to give them better livelihood in the harsh desert by working with the other races of Hyrule. Ganondorf is [[TimeAbyss a very ancient]] middle-age Gerudo male who only cares about power and uses his harsh upbringing in the desert to justify turning the rest of Hyrule into a hellhole, sparing not even his people from his wrath.

* ArcherArchetype: Subverted. He has a reputation for his skill with bows, contrasting Link's preference for swords, but the flashbacks and the Vah Medoh mission show him to be more brash and belligerent than the usual fictional archer.

* ArcherArchetype: Compared to the arrogant and flamboyant Revali, Teba is much more subdued and analytical.

* {{BFS}}: He wields a weapon called the Boulder Breaker that resembles a cross between [[DropTheHammer a warhammer]] and a greatsword, and is as long as he is tall.

* AmbiguousSituation: The fact that they wear masks that match the Divine Beasts imply that their names were actually Medli for Wind[[note]](though unlike the Medli we know, the Sage of Wind has a clearly male voice, at least in English)[[/note]], Ruto for Water, Darunia for Fire, and Nabooru for Lightning, matching how Rauru shares his name with the Sage of Light in the previous ''Ocarina of Time''. This also implies that the Ruto and Nabooru that were mentioned in ''Breath of the Wild'' were actually these sages rather than the ones of ''Ocarina of Time''. However, the description given to the Ruto in ''Breath of the Wild'' does not match up at all with the one found in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' due to never knowing one of Link's incarnation's personally, much less having romantic feelings for him and nothing definitive is stated.
