Samus Aran

Samus Aran character artwork
Bounty hunter · Zebes mission

Samus returns to Zebes after the infant Metroid is stolen from a research station. Her earlier history with the planet gives the mission a sense of return rather than first discovery.

  • Story: The mission moves through interconnected regions and culminates in Tourian. Environmental storytelling and encounters reveal the consequences of the Space Pirates’ return.
  • In the game: Her power grows through permanent upgrades and expansions rather than party levelling. Revisit marked obstacles after each movement item, and distinguish ammunition capacity from the refill currently available.
