I can’t shake this question: Does Revali have actual fingers? On one hand, it looks like he does, but on the other, those might just be feathers. Plus, instead of arms, he’s got wings. Can you draw a bow without real fingers? What’s the deal here?

Honestly, overthinking Rito anatomy is a slippery slope! But I believe Revali uses his wings to shoot arrows. Other Rito like Tulin seem to use their feet and beaks too. So, it’s not just about fingers!
I lean towards them being fingers because they seem to move like fingers do. Feathers can’t do that! Plus, in real life, some birds have highly developed fingers—so maybe there’s some inspiration there!
But remember, Revali isn’t a bird in the traditional sense. He’s got a unique anatomy, and I think he definitely has fingers. Just like bats do with their wings and hands!
Good point! Maybe we’re all just complicating things. Who needs traditional biology in Zelda, right?
