Lyra Kiyosumi Owns Up to Misnaming Lizalfos Through Her Breath of the Wild Playthrough
On a stream of the game’s DLC, the UNIT B composer also lost Link in a trap with no way out and wrapped up a one-hit trial.
HOLOLIVE — Lyra Kiyosumi, the composer and arranger of the Hololive unit UNIT B, admitted on a Tuesday stream of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s DLC that she had spent her main-game playthrough calling the Lizalfos enemies by the wrong name. She had been saying “Lizaldon,” she explained, and had assumed there were two separate creatures, Lizaldon and Lizalfos.
She said she caught the error only near the final battle with Ganon, when she rewatched one of her own archives and found viewers had been quietly correcting her. “When I get absorbed in the game, there are times I can’t see the comments,” she said, adding that it was embarrassing to learn chat had simply translated for her all along. After looking it up, she said, she found that only Lizalfos exists.

The stream opened with a game of spot-the-difference: Kiyosumi asked viewers what had changed, and chat guessed a haircut, new bangs and a different shampoo. She said none of those was it, and pointed instead to Link, who was carrying a large Lynel axe.
Later stretches were harder on her. In one trial she cried out as Link’s run went wrong, then found him wedged in a spot with no obvious exit, and asked viewers how to get out. Chat answered that there was nothing to be done, and she dropped down instead. In another trial full of spiked iron balls she retried again and again, coaxing herself to stay calm. A stretch of low-key talk about fluffy room socks followed, including a rabbit-eared pair that had gone missing and left only the cat-eared one.
By the close she said she had cleared the one-hit trial and collected two of the three hearts she was after, with one left to go. The stream’s title promised a look into the past of Mipha, a Champion, but she said that and the other Champions’ stories would come in later streams. She thanked viewers and signed off at about 7 p.m.
