Selfisness is neutral at worst. Only when you actively harm others for your own gain does it become evil.And Midna never hurt anyone but Zant in her quest.
Making a deal is manipulation now? Really, Midna didn't have to help Link save the kids, or save the Zora, or return light to the land. She made a promise to Link that if she helped him, he would help her. Neutral at worst since she helped someone in exchange for a service, and help up her end up the bargain. Heck, she even let Link put the Fused Shadow quest on hold so he could go rescue Colin from King Bulblin.
What part of this is evil? That was mean about it?
Originally posted by The ScenarioEven the lame Ganondorf was amused by this. Shadow moved by light. Wraps it up nicely. She was moved by them hence her own selfless actions later in the game.

Originally posted by The ScenarioYes, she was moved by their selfless actions which I have always maintained. I never said she did not but regardless she is capable of both.
Moved.Good word. Implies change, that Midna moved into the light. The light of, say, good. So Midna moved towards good.
Dorf was amused by her being moved. Such a weak shitty universe.
Circumstances change, and people change. If Midna is no longer being selfish, it means she is no longer selfish.
Okay, how about I explain it like this: Thor wasn't originally worthy of Mjolnir. He had to learn a lesson, or change his behavior, in order to become worthy. So now that he is worthy, is it safe to ignore his past showing of unworthiness? Or because he's demonstrated both, he's forever stuck in some grey worthy/unworthy limbo state?

Not talking about goodness. I'm just pointing out that your argument also applies to Thor's worthiness. You seem to think if someone was a certain way once, they are that way forever, which simply isn't true.
People change. If you want to claim otherwise, show Midna being selfish after Zelda's sacrifice.

I never claimed that.
Originally posted by The ScenarioI am saying she isn't a true hero like some others and is capable of selfishness. No biggie. Shadow moved by light. It even amused the redhead.
You're implying it pretty hard with the 'she was selfish' posts. How about this: your argument is that if a person was a certain way, they will always have that inside them forever. That cover it?
