History Characters / TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWildOtherRaces

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:The Ancient Hero's species is unclear. He resembles a Zonai, but has several features not seen at all on the only Zonai present in the game; digitigrade legs, much smaller ears, two very unusual eyes, and a tail. It's possible that he was some kind of hybrid between Zonai and one or more other races, from a different race or subspecies of Zonai than Rauru and Mineru, or something else entirely. This is more complicated by the fact that Ganondorf mentions that Rauru and Mineru are supposedly the ''last'' of the Zonai (or at least the ones present in Hyrule), while the Ancient Hero existed during the first Calamity which happened after Ganondorf was sealed and both Rauru and Mineru are no longer alive.]]
* TheChosenOne: He was chosen as the wielder of the Master Sword during the first Great Calamity 10,000 years before ''Breath of the Wild''.

* GreaterScopeParagon: He is the first hero that fought against the Calamity, and succeeded in defeating it, long before the events of ''Breath of the Wild''.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Implied. The item you use to take his form has the general shape of a Zonai, but also has Hylian ears and his eyes are more like a Hylian's. Assuming he is an incarnation of Link, he is the only in-game Link that we know of to be at least partially non-Hylian.]]

* LegacyCharacter: He's the original Hero that fought against the Calamity, and is possibly an incarnation of Link.

* MysteriousPast: Aside from the few titbits of information that we've been given, we know next to nothing about this individual. [[spoiler:His actual appearance adds more mysteries, as he [[AmbiguousSituation might have been a Zonai]] despite being alive during a time were the last Zonai to be seen on Hyrule were already deceased. There's also the heavy implications that he was the incarnation of Link before the one of ''Breath of the Wild''.]]

* ParentalNegelct: An unfortunate side effect of his quest to fulfill his teacher's wish. He is implicitly gone from home for weeks to maybe even months on end, leaving his wife alone to take care of five young children. Worse yet is the fact his family, at least by the start of the game, is currently under threat by a rogue divine beast that could kill them at any given moment and are scared for their lives. Even after that's dealt, with one of Kass' daughters goes missing as part of a sidequest... and Kass can be found barely even a mile away at the nearby stable, playing music. He explicitly states here that he refuses to return home until his quest is complete, despite being close by, not even entertaining the idea of just visiting for a few days( although he states he does miss his family.) Thankfully, he finally returns home after his questline is complete and can be found playing the accordion with his daughters.

* {{Foil}}: He's one to King Rhoam. Both are kings whose wives are absent or dead and whose daughters were destined to play key roles in the fight against Ganon. But while Rhoam was a FantasyForbiddingFather whose daughter grew to be somber and resentful because of it to the point of taking her frustrations out on Link, Dorephan was a nice father whose children grew to be unswervingly kind to everyone, especially Sidon.

* {{Foil}}: To Mipha. Both are Zora Princesses who are renowned for their kindness and who use their gifts of healing to tend to the sick and injured. Like Mipha, Yona shares a close connection with Sidon, albeit as a childhood friend-turned-love interest instead of a sister. In essence, Yona is to Sidon what Mipha was to Link.

* {{Foil}}: To Rhoam, the ''last'' king of Hyrule. Both are portrayed as the final heirs to a legacy that far preceded them (and likely outshined them), un-equipped by circumstances outside of their control (the loss of the other Zonai and the death of Rhoam's wife), whose follies and attempts to make up for them ultimately set up the heroes and villains for their respective games. However, both had opposite personalities in life; Rauru was a Type B person, sure that all would work out due to his powers and prone to only acting when absolutely necessary, while Rhoam was a Type A person who felt powerless and thus tried over-preparing for the task at hand. Rauru left pieces of his power for others to find in case of emergency; Rhoam, having nothing meaningful to give, pressured others into getting stronger through their own effort. [[spoiler: Rhoam's over-preparation and anxiety towards an unseen threat arguably equipped said threat, but Rauru's pride and inaction towards a threat right in front of him gave it even more, resulting in a problem that would recur at least once every [[TenThousandYears 10,000 years]].]] Likewise, both invert in their approaches after death; Rauru holds Link's hand somewhat from the Upheaval to his entry into the Temple of Time, while Rhoam takes a more hands-off approach to helping Link reacclimate on the Great Plateau.

* FantasticRacism: He hates Hylians, and didn't like them even before they "failed" to contain Calamity Ganon. He's particularly hostile towards Link in particular, blaming him for Mipha's death. [[spoiler:As such, he is mortified when King Dorephan presented Link with the Zora Armor that Mipha had made for her intended husband. By the time Link has released Vah Ruta from Ganon's control, however, he sees the error of that way of thinking.]]

* BrokenSystemDogmatist: A cultural hat of theirs, at that. As detailed under * LadyLand below, their culture of not allowing men into the city and taking children from outside homes at an early age devastated familes and prevents fathers from seeing their kids(one even is shown getting arrested for trying to do so) Despite this, they (or at least their leadership) rigidly stick to this system without editing it or removing the system.

* TheCaretaker: Ashai is implied to be this for the younger kids sent to live in Gerudo Town. Seeing as young children like Mattison can be sent from home and apparently housed within Gerudo Town at young ages, its pimpled that the class could potentially be like a boarding school for some kids whose parents live else where, making Ashai their primary parental figure or nanny, as she would implicitly be the one looking after said children the most.

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Whenever Ashai brings up a hypothetical interaction with a man, Pasha and Dina each give their own sensible answers for how they would respond, while Risa answers with a very aggressive and usually illegal suggestion.

* BloodBrothers: They themselves are actually biological brothers, but they make Link this once he proves his strength to them.
