TikTokers use MC to mean "main character." Most often, this acronym appears within #maincharacter videos, in which a TikToker portrays their life as a thrilling movie starring them. (Not every TikToker thinks the world revolves around them, but search for the #maincharacter hashtag, and you'll find the ones who do.)

On occasion, you may see MC used to mean "main character" in other contexts. For example, a TikToker who loves anime may post a video asking others who their favorite "anime MC" is. This TikToker wants to discuss dope anime protagonists with their followers.

MC is a gaming abbreviation for The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, a 2004 action-adventure title developed by Capcom and Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance (GBA). The game features a magical shrinking mechanic named Ezlo, a sentient cap that allows Link (the main character) to shrink to the size of the tiny Minish people. While not as widely known as many console-based Zelda titles, MC has earned a loyal following for its vibrant art style, tight gameplay, and charming world design.

Fans of the Zelda series commonly use "MC" in online discussions, often about handheld Zelda games or ranked lists of underrated entries in the franchise. They may also use it in guides, speedrunning communities, Twitch streams, and fan content to refer to the game quickly and clearly.
