From when she is first introduced, Ellie is the heart and soul ofThe Last of Us Part I. Her joyful humor and playful mannerisms turn what would otherwise be an incredibly dour game into what is at times an uplifting experience. One of her patented techniques for bringing laughter to the player is by cranking out her joke book, given to her by Riley in the Left Behind DLC. In order to hear all of Ellie’s terrible jokes inThe Last of Us Part 1, the player must pay close attention to her in the game’s quieter moments.
