its so sad kabru had to get caught in his lie so fast bc it truly distracts ppl from how sweet and cute it is that laios went out of his way to make him something special that he thought he'd enjoy like rolled omelette are not that easy to make and they were making food anyway he just decided "kabru is my friend and kabru likes eating monsters let me spare my special provisions to give him something, just for him" like we get so swept up in how kabru feels about it honestly that we do not see how much care the gesture was on laios' part. no wonder he gets so broken hearted about kabru not liking the food he made in particular. id be so so sad if i made my new friend a cake they said they liked and i found out it physically hurt to eat and they just ate it anyway to spare my feelings. and they never liked cake. like no tell meeeee i made it special for youuuuu

Ask games! 🔥, 9, 11, and tell me your favorite song or soundtrack!

Hiya Blue! Thank you for the ask.

🔥 What’s your favorite part of Zelda games? (Adventuring, Characters, Dungeons, Combat, etc.) Adventuring! Learning how to get through the world is just as much of a puzzle as those found in the dungeons. I think it's fun coming across a suspicious spot on the wall and going, aahh I'm going to need the hookshot for that, and then tucking that info away for later. Every item acquired opens the world a little more.

9. What Legend of Zelda games have you played? finished: LA remake, OoT 3D & og, MM 3D, FS Anniversary Edition, WW HD, albw, botw, Hyrule Warriors: AoC (w/o DLC), totk practically finished (I just haven’t beaten the boss yet): FSA, Minish Cap, Spirit Tracks, SkSw played: Zelda I, alttp, OoS, Phantom Hourglass, Link’s Crossbow Training (lol), Hyrule Warriors og haven’t played / haven’t played enough of: Zelda II, OoA, Twilight Princess, TFH

11. What is your weapon of choice? (Sword, bow, elemental rod, etc) Sword. Whatever is most direct and gets me up close and personal with the monsters. I've lost all fear in botw and totk haha so in those games I like to use swords or the heavy weapons that deal the most damage. With the heavy weapons I'll rely on flurry rushes and charged attack with holding Y and then switch to a short sword when I need faster attacks and want my shield. Same with OoT. You deal more damage if you attack with A and jump attack so I'll swap between the biggoron and master sword. (smack the monsters with the rod of seasons. bap bap bap bap!) Combat in the 2D games is more difficult for me so the boomerang is on my offhand slot the most often for stunning monsters. I like that boomerangs and the hookshot work similarly in the 3D games for stunning monsters. The firerod in FSA is awesome because of the sheer wall of fire you can make with the four of them. The magnetic gloves in FS and OoS are fun too. It's neat to steal the enemy's carapace and use that against them. Also Four is magnetic. Hover your teammates across gaps (or into the monsters).

favorite song or soundtrack! My favorite song is the Song of Storms! I like the more intense covers.

1, 9, 30 for other ask game!

1, What’s your favorite kind of soup? Miso! I like light soups/broth.

9. What Legend of Zelda games have you played? finished: LA remake, OoT 3D & og, MM 3D, FS Anniversary Edition, WW HD, albw, botw, Hyrule Warriors: AoC (w/o DLC), totk practically finished (I just haven't beaten the boss yet): FSA, Minish Cap, Spirit Tracks, SkSw played: Zelda I, alttp, OoS, Phantom Hourglass, Link's Crossbow Training (lol), Hyrule Warriors og haven't played / haven't played enough of: Zelda II, OoA, Twilight Princess, TFH

30, Tell me a story about an adventure you went on! So I work as a camp counselor over the summer. Summers as a whole are an adventure but for an isolated tale- My camp has a hiking unit (usually around middle-highschool aged) and when they visit one of the peaks around camp they'll invite along any units who want to come with. My unit of 5 kiddos (5th graders!!!) and 3 counselors wanted to go. The hike was 8 miles. 4 miles up the switch-backs and along the ridge a while and then 4 miles back. We woke up early, packed extra canteens in everyone's backpacks, packed lunch, and set out with the hiking unit. My unit had younger kids and they were such troopers. They were engaged with the hike leader and asked questions. Watching them and being a part of their experience of the hike was a lot of fun. We'd made it over the switch backs and to the ridge and probably had only about half a mile left when one of my campers told me that they didn't want to go any further. That they were tired and that this was the worst decision they'd ever made. They kept going though. They made it to the peak and we enjoyed the view and had lunch. And then we went back. When we got back to camp they told me that they were glad they stuck with it and that getting to the peak was one of the best things they'd ever done. I'm really proud of them.

#I love my campers sm #they're all such great kids #I used wikipedia to reference the zelda games and uhhHH #WHY IS LINKED UNIVERSE ON THE LIST OF LOZ MEDIA WIKIPEDIA PAGE #''retrieved march 5 2024'' WHO DID THAT #there's a random loz metal song on the wikipedia page as well... #they're alongside things like the loz manga and hyrule histora. lol these things don't go here #aaanyways. thank you for the asks! #asks #ask game

🎮👑⛩️ for ask game!

🎮 Favorite Zelda game? This one's so difficult! I don't really know 'xD I like Majora's Mask for the story and atmosphere of the game. I adore young Link and like that we get a continuation of his story from OoT. Termina and Link's role in it is tragic. Big fan of the time loop as well. However, I don't enjoy the dungeons all that much,, I've had the gamecube port crash on me too many times. and wanting to find all the fairies tires the completionist in me out. Still love the game though. My favorite to play is Breath of the Wild. I've played it through probably 4 times. I have normal and hard mode playthroughs where I've played without teleporting. I love traversal and exploration in botw. I'll go everywhere with my horses. I've completed all of the shrines/quests/side-quests in multiple saves as well. The only thing I haven't done is 100% the koroks and complete the sword trials.

👑 Favorite version of Zelda? Wind Waker Tetra! I like that she's got her own stuff going on. Seeing her ship show up at Windfall or her and the pirates at the Forsaken Fortress breathes life into the game imo. She's got her own goals and adventures alongside Link. Also I like her attitude!

⛩️ Favorite Zelda Dungeon/Location? I have a recency bias towards Skyward Sword HD so for favorite dungeon I'll say Skyview Temple. It's a good introductory dungeon! I enjoy the overgrown mushroomspore-y aesthetic and watercolor green-blue color palette. I do like the motion controls and exploring with the beetle (sksw beetle beloved <3) and cutting down skulltulas and deku-babas is a lot of fun. Also the Ghirahim fights are all 👍 Honorable mention to the OoS dungeons as a whole. Favorite Location: Another difficult one! There's a lot of good spots in botw like the entirety of the Great Plateau, the Temple of Time ruins, Korok Forest, the Forgotten Temple, the forested path along Batrea Lake. I like Hateno Beach as well. There's so many places to go from there, either walking along the shoreline, going up the road to Hateno, hopping on a raft and going to Eventide or Lurelin. I took a raft from Hateno Beach all along the east side of the map up to the Lomei Labyrinth once and have just a straight line on my Hero's Path Mode. Skyloft is good. The Skyview Spring in both sksw and botw. I don't mind getting lost in the Tal Tal Heights in the Link's Awakening remake and listening to the music.

Usually i like to incorporate headcanons about the chain into art one way or another- but there's one that i really don't know how to demonstrate but really need to get out here so-

Apologies if it's a popular hc already idk this fandom enough

Ok so- voices. Link voices. Think we all have a pretty good idea of what each and every lu Link sound like based on their games. Sky with a surprisingly sharp yell, Four and Wind with their young teen voices, Warriors with his straight-forward manly voice. Heck, make adult Link's voice just a tad bit deeper and BOOM- you've got Time.

But there's one Link that keeps bugging me with their in-game voices and LU design in mind-

Legend.

They sound almost like Wind/Four in their most recent adventure, triforce heroes, where they're most definitely 18+ considering LA Link is collectively agreed to be 17 in the fandom (this has been agreed on for 20 years, according to Zelda wiki). So when you look at their LU design that gives off strong old-teen vibes (popularly agreed on 18-20yo i think) it. Just. Doesn't add up with the popularly believed deep voice hcs for Leg.

So. With that in mind. I have 2 ideas-

1. Legend's got a naturally high-pitched voice that never fully changed after puberty (maybe bc of an injury or disease) and cracks a lot bc of this (i swear there's a name for this but i couldn't find it sorry;;)

2. The voice-changing part of their teen years hit them VERY late and it's only recently (like. Straight back home from Hytopia recently) that it's started deepening meaning it cracks a LOT during lu.

Anyhoo what I'm getting at is- Legend's voice cracks half the time when speaking and it's getting on their nerves.

it might seem like im just a totk hater, and to be fair, i AM, but its not bc i think its bad in every way- if it was all bad, ok, then its all bad and we can forget it happened and can all accept that-

but totk specifically hit the jackpot of -things that frustrate me so much i cannot let go and need to talk about it-

its part of my current hyperfixation (or whatever is the right word), botw is one of my all time favorite games, and that one had so many mysteries i was DEEPLY invested in, its got great music and some absolutely fanatstic moments, some ideas are great to fine, but it doesnt make sense, i hate time travel like little else in games, it constantly contradicts itself, the franchise, even its previous game its supposed to be a sequel to, i felt like i was made fun of by the game itself, for caring so much about what they had set up or done in botw, the moment i saw what they did to the shrine of life i felt so devasted i could hear people pointing and laughing at me for having cared about it, the writing treating me like i am so brainless i cannot connect dot one and two when there are only two dots in front of me labeld 1 and 2 that it then tells me to connect directly, to my face, multiple times, before showing me how to draw a line, its full, so SO FULL of missed opportunities, its got choices in there that are just nothing but frustrating bc there were a hundred other ones, i can see what you could do wit hthe basic ideas, theres people that worship it to a point you cant say anything even mildly critical, even about objectively bad things (there is no excuse for that godawful arrow menu) bc they will jump at you like a rabid animal-

i could go on but you get the point, never in my life has anything hit me like that

I’m late but we’re all in agreement that the whole Time & Twilight deal is gonna be a classic case of someone’s attempt at preventing the prophesy being exactly what fulfills the prophesy, right?

Like, Twilight is so desperate to prove himself to Time that he’ll continually put himself in danger, & THAT’S what’s gonna cause friction between the two during LU…

…& therefore also cause the Shade’s attitude towards Twilight in Time’s future & Twilight’s past…

Yea, I am not ok either. (/pos)

Art belongs to JoJo, this is an analysis of Linked Universe, Dawn part 9.

#yes yes yes yes!!!! #Twi is so hopeful about it too and glad that he's been given another chance #but!!! buddyyyy #his determination to change the future is exactly what is going to cause it #!!!! #*GRABS TWI BY HIS SHOULDERS AND SHAKES HIM* CUT IT OUTTTT!!!! #I've been thinking about how Jojo likes shadow of the colossus too #and how trying to subvert the prophecy is what makes it comes true is a theme in that game as well #ehehehe let's gooOO #leaning fully into the tragedy #I'm curious where LU will go with this #linked universe #lu analysis
