Mido

Mido is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He is the self-proclaimed boss of the Kokiri.

Why He's Not Great

 * 1) Mido's personality is lacking, and he merely comes across as a generic popular mean boy without carrying much depth in general.
 * 2) Despite taking a liking to Saria and wanting to do anything to impress her, liking promising to cut the grass growing on her lawn, he doesn't bother to do it himself for her and instead, makes a random Kokiri do the work for him, which would lead to Link, the very person he despises with a passion, helping him.
 * 3) *He also made another Kokiri pick up rocks around his house which are clearly too heavy for him which Link, who is much stronger than him, also takes credit for picking them up.
 * 4) He is a huge jerk who mercilessly picks on Link and treats him like an idiot most of the time, and is shown to be dissatisfied when some of his requests are fulfilled, such as calling him Mr. No Fairy and when Link does gain a fairy named Navi he still looks down on him and tells him to get a sword and shield if he wishes to see the Great Deku Tree, although it was for a good reason since Link would be contending with monsters. And it gets even worse when Link does get the two necessities, he still tells him that even then he will never accept him as a Kokiri. To add further insult to injury, he wonders why Link is favored by Saria and the Great Deku Tree.
 * 5) He is also shown to be extremely immature, after the Great Deku Tree died, he immediately blames Link for his death, and he never bothered to ask for an explanation, he just walks back to his house. As much as he tells off Link that he isn't a real man, he doesn't act like one himself, which makes him hypocritical.
 * 6) His advice on how to navigate the Lost Woods isn't at all helpful as he taunts him that he knows he'll get lost and states he'll just end up back at the entrance. Even Navi and Kaepora Gaebora, for all of their faults, are so much more helpful than him with the latter giving actual advice.
 * 7) If Link talks to the Kokiri as an adult but without yet completing the Forest Temple, one of the NPCs stuck in Saria's house stated that Mido has been spreading false rumors about Link to the point where Saria stood up to him. With the monster crises happening, the Know-it-All Brothers wonder where Mido is during such an emergency.
 * 8) Even when he does become apologetic to the way he treated Link, this is never brought up again later and he is still remorseful for what he did, and it doesn't help that he never made a resolve to become a better leader, nor does he make up for his poor treatment of the Kokiri, and he is still unaware that the adult Link is the very person he was talking to the whole time, which was a missed opportunity to for him and Link to properly reconcile, so his character development went to waste.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Mido does at least show some regret for what he has done seven years later.
 * 2) He does have a good reason to not let Link pass without a sword since Link has to deal with monsters not only inside the Deku Tree, but through the entirety of his adventure.
 * 3) He does honor the request of Saria to guard one of the paths to the Sacred Forest Meadow to not let anyone pass unless they are a friend of hers.
 * 4) In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Manga and its bonus story, he gets more active roles and is not only a better character who is much more helpful to Link and Saria, and noticeably more fleshed-out.
