i think at this point master kohga is just a stalchild beneath the mask

Im an undead Kohga truther myself there is no way theres normal flesh and bone under that mask

I actually doodled a little something a while back cause haha what if he was some fucked up malice creature under there?

#i really need a proper design for maskless kohga

imagine if across the course of totk link gradually becomes a zonai with each vow

and zelda also comes back as a zonai after de-draconification

Hell yeah

Personally I like the "Zonai change" spreading on link like an infection, almost. Similarly to how we see the land itself change in the game.

I would prefer part "dragon" Zelda over Zonai Zelda tho

One of my favorite plot beats in Tears of the Kingdom was when Zelda shoots Rauru straight with "Ganondorf is obviously evil as hell and needs to be dealt with, do not let him just walk around in your kingdom" and Rauru is like "We can't show our hand yet with someone like him, gotta play the long game. Catch him by surprise." And like a day later Ganondorf kills his wife and becomes The Actual Devil.

#this is rly funny yeah #i mean clearly Ganondorf spent SOME time dicking around the castle with his phantom Zelda #based on one of those sky tablets you gotta translate #but yeah rauru was just dumb lmao

I think we really missed out on Rauru being a companion for the entirety of TOTK- someone you could talk to and could give you descriptions of different places- or lack thereof.

On the other hand, I doubt Nintendo would have done a fraction of the interesting things I've imagined for such a companionship:

Only Link can see him. This is in line with the tidbits from the game that imply very few people can see poes (mentioned in a Yiga journal) and from what we know about only Link being able to see koroks and talk to statues. That, and of course, they're linked.

Rauru, having died during the imprisoning war, wouldn't know about Zelda's fate, or the lengths she and the sages took to prepare for Link. It's possible he wouldn't even notice the fake Zelda, either.

Imagine the angst of being reunited with his sister and learning how long she's been stuck as a spirit too.

Link is probably the only one who sees the memories, but Rauru could ask about them.

He could be excited to share info about certain locations, but extremely cagey about others. I imagine the Gerudo region, both on the surface and beneath it, would have a lot of moments like this.

The ending actually carries some weight, because he's not just showing up after dissappearing.

Going further into some interactions further from canon, though...

Rauru can still seize control of his own arm if he so chooses. I can imagine he may even refuse to give that up if there's something he doesn't want link to see?

Imagine as you progress, there's more clues that point to sinister acts Rauru had committed in the past... but Link has to pretend not to care, really, because the perpetrator is fused to him.

#totk #totk rauru #rauru #totk link #yes i enjoyed tales from the borderlands dont look at me #just hear me out here what if Rauru was a little bit more like Jack hmmm
