Transforming Zelda's Purah into a Cute VTuber: A Fan's Ingenious Idea
Purah, the beloved character from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, has been transformed into a captivating VTuber by a devoted player Experience the magic of Purah's virtual persona created with love and passion
A dedicated fan of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has put their impressive rigging skills to use by creating a Vtuber based on Purah, a beloved character introduced in the latest era of Zelda games. This is just one example of the game's passionate community showcasing their creative talent both in and outside of the game itself. Purah, an elderly lady experimenting with age-altering magic in Breath of the Wild, quickly captured the hearts of gamers with her unique personality. Her youthful redesign in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was also met with widespread adoration from fans. Now, with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the adoration for this beloved character continues to flourish.
Capn_Cinnamon demonstrated their creativity by creating a VTuber model of Hyrule's renowned scientist, based on her latest redesign. The resulting 56-second clip features the model lip-syncing to the words of a woman who sounds different from Kate Higgins' portrayal of the character. The background of the video is Purah's workshop from Tears of the Kingdom, with a stream chat window located below. Through the character's persona, the artist tests various movements, drawing attention to the fact that the iconic Purah Pad couldn't be incorporated as it would hinder the hands' motion and limit physical expression.
The artist also explained the difficulty involved in emulating Breath of the Wild's lighting engine to accurately depict the character. Despite the obstacles, Capn_Cinnamon seemed proud of their work and even incorporated the ability to alter the model by removing Purah's glasses and more. The comments section was full of praise for the creation. Capn_Cinnamon plans to use this model during their Twitch streams under the name MonikaCinnyRoll, which has mostly focused on Splatoon content recently.
It's always a delight to witness the passion of video game enthusiasts, and Tears of the Kingdom fans are no exception. From constructing mind-blowing vehicles within the game to shrinking the expansive map of Tears of the Kingdom to the size of one's palm, the possibilities of the fandom are endless and exciting. The game is exclusively available on Nintendo Switch.
