PEOPLE: Hirohito Shinoda. Lead NPC Artist for Breath of the Wild. ART: Next to the quite is a black and white sketch of a version of MIpha that was inspired by a Lionfish. She has large fans of spikey fins coming out of her head and elbows. QUOTE: Shinoda: I ended up using a dolphin as the inspiration for Mipha's design [in Breath of the Wild], but I also considered several other ideas, including using an oarfish or a rockfish as a motif. Her outfit incorporates the delicate design of the Zora in her accessories, as well as an ephemeral feeling that reflects Mipha's personality.

PEOPLE: - Hirohito Shinoda. Lead NPC Artist for Breath of the Wild. QUOTE: Shinoda: I wanted to make the Zora [of Breath of the Wild] look really cool while still being faithful to the Zora of past titles. Rather than restricting myself to fish, I drew inspiration from dolphins and other mammals as well. Also, the concept for them in this game was to have them know Link, so they ended up being long lived. In order to give more variation to the race, I made Zora of all sorts of colors, not just one. King Dorephan was the final leader of a race that I designed. I made sure to give him a unique appearance that wouldn't overlap with the other leaders. The reason that I used a whale motif for him is purely because the king of the sea should be a whale!

PEOPLE: - Hirohito Shinoda. Lead NPC Artist for Breath of the Wild. QUOTE: Shinoda: The Rito first appeared in The Wind Waker, but their appearance has changed dramatically since then. The biggest reason for that is that I wanted to emphasize their bird-like silhouette and have their unique characteristics stand out more as a race. As they are based mainly on birds of prey, I tried to present them as dignified and stout.
