The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, are NPCs nothing more than "modded" Miis?

According to what emerged in the last few hours from the Twitter account of HEYimHeroic, the NPC present in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild they would be nothing more than an advanced version of Miis. The words of "I'm alice"Would find further confirmation from the shared screenshot, which reveals different similarities (in terms of facial features) with the characters present in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate e Wii Sports. If these statements prove to be correct, simple modding operations would allow users to easily import the cute avatars made in Nintendo into the game. Furthermore, according to what emerged, unlike the NPCs present in-game, Link and Zelda characters wouldn't be UMiis, but prefabricated 3D models. We report below what is declared:

Hi, Mii expert here. We found that the NPCs in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild use an enhanced version of the Mii format. This means that with modding you can transfer Miis into the game.

Link, Zelda, and other special characters important to the game's story or events are not UMiis and are instead pre-made 3D models. Technically, all NPC races use UMii, but Hylian and Sheikah are the only two who use Mii-like values. others use a different set of values.

Waiting to find out more details on the subject, we remind you that the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was shown on the occasion of theE3 2019, during which a short teaser trailer in which it was stated that the title was currently in development, without however revealing any release date or official launch window.

Hi, Mii expert here. Turns out, the NPCs in TLoZ: BotW use an advanced version of the Mii format. This means that with modding, you can inject Miis into the game. ?
