@zeldlia: Why Miyamoto Named Her Impa Impa from the Zelda series is named for the verb to impart. It explains why she spends the first act giving items away. Miyamoto chose the name Impa because it means to hand something over, and looking at the first act through this lens changes how we see her character. She is the one who sets you on your path, not just by guiding you, but by physically handing over the tools you need to survive. This Zelda analysis breaks down her dialogue and specific scenes from the early game to show how this subtle naming convention frames her role. We look at the Zelda lore behind her actions and why she is the central figure in the game's opening, constantly offloading her responsibilities and possessions to Link. Does knowing her name was a literal instruction change how you see her role in the story?

I need more cutscenes from this remake of ALL the sages, but these are my Impa faves: teaching Zelda the ways of the Sheikah, Escape from the castle expanded with Impa realizing the threat and protecting the Princess, A flashback of her entering/investigating the Bottom of the Well 🙌🏻

I was always inspired by Impa’s duty to the royal family. She’s so humble, but so strong-willed and respected.
