Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Non-player characters make or break many a game. NPCs provide the flavour, the atmosphere, the general ambience of a game world, for good or ill.

Whether we're talking about recurring characters that the player spends a lot of time with, or relatively brief interactions with random passers-by on that just provide small snippets of exposition, NPCs are often the tool by which a player is grounded in a game. It's through NPCs that we learn to care about the stakes involved in a game.

So if you, like, apparently, a lot of Video Game Story Time viewers, are obsessed with Kass from Breath of the Wild, and you're desperately hoping to see him pop up again in Tear of the Kingdom, then here's a video explaining exactly why this delicious Rito is quite so appealing.
