Thoughts on the travelers
I know there isn't a canon traveler per say, but consider the following headcanon:
The twins are soul bonded. Their personalities complement each other's in many ways.
Lumine is tougher, meaner and straightforward. If she has a good heart or not, only those closest to her know about it — including her brother Aether, who's the opposite, soft, kind and loveable.
In many situations, he acts as her moral compass. She can be ruthless or cruel to anyone who wrongs her, no matter what. Both of them are warriors, but Lumine seems to be a natural while dominating the battlefield.
However, she isn't the one taken by the Unknown God and bonded to the Abyss. It is her sweet, affectionate and diplomatic twin brother.
So they're both separated and alone in a life-changing journey. They're destroyed by it, to the most fundamental level, re-shaping their personalities in ways that complement each other again; Lumine meets new people, has new friends, allies and lovers who make her see more light in the world and balance her thirst for blood, while Aether's kind spirit is shattered and filled by the Abyss.
The MC is not the nice and easy-to-love character, but his darker counterpart; his shadow. A shadow that learns and grows its own light.

when i was a kid my grandma used to wash my feet after i had been outside. during winter i would run around in her back yard for hours until mud soaked through my shoes and i couldn’t feel the tip of my nose anymore. i would sit in the couch while my grandpa watched cricket and many times dozed off as i relished in the feeling of warm water bringing feeling back to my frozen toes. i remember it all so clearly, the smell of floral soap, the feeling of sinking into the too soft cushions, the huffs of annoyance from my grandpa when his team weren’t doing good and realising that he truly is my dads father. that old brick house was always filled with unconditional love, i had nothing to fear in there. when i woke up each morning in the same bed my dad slept in when he was my age i would study the frost forming on the plants outside from under my cocoon of warmth and found comfort in knowing i was cared for in that house, i was loved in that house, those feelings were a rarity i never took for granted.

“I wanted to let you know that I’m leaving. I’m going back home.” he said.
“Home?” she asked, tilting her head slightly. “I didn’t know you can call a place home anymore when there is no one for you there. No one is waiting at the end of the line”

Just thinking out loud about wanting to replay Breath of the Wild, and the "single save file/playthrough" nonsense. This is my blog and I do what I want.
Household Switch situation
There are two Switches in the house. Though my login info is the actual account that is used for purchases through Nintendo, the other Switch is actually marked as primary so that the other person in the house can play games I buy and we don't have to share a console.
What this means
Because of the thing where Nintendo decided you only require one save file/playthrough for BOTW/TOTK (whereas in the past, you could have up to three playthroughs!), I... have only one playthrough. One playthrough complete to my personal satisfaction.
And, the thing is
I love the new mechanics of Tears of the Kingdom (there's a "but" about TOTK to follow, of course). I love the Ultrahand; I love having near-unlimited telekinesis vs BOTW's Magnesis, plus the "stick objects to other objects" thing, outside of weaponry fusing. I also love having near-unlimited arrows, to which I can fuse shit for effects/damage, rather than carefully managing and conserving and worrying about my arrows.
Also
It does have more Sidon. I can travel with an avatar of Sidon that may be somewhat useless, but he's... Sidon. Sidon, my beloved. Oh. No, sorry, I mean: Sidon, Link's beloved.
But
There's a lot about TOTK that just isn't grabbing me. I felt absolutely no lure back to it when I picked up Baldur's Gate III and I'm having trouble wanting to get back into it. It's largely the way it both replicates BOTW but also seems weirdly disconnected from it. I know from many, many years of playing the franchise that Zelda since probably Link to the Past is as much about mechanics and puzzle-solving as it is about the narrative. Not that narrative has never existed or been important, but it's not the driving force of the games. It's more narratively-driven than, like, Mario, but perhaps less than, I guess, an Elder Scroll. But the fact that TOTK is a direct sequel with so little narrative coherence with its predecessor is a major low point here, especially given that the actual narrative is not happening to the character you're controlling.
Minor aside
This isn't like Final Fantasy X or XII where the blond twink is a decoy protagonist* (we're all in agreement that Yuna and Ashe are the actual protagonists of those games, right? right?). Tidus and Vaan fully experience those stories alongside the actual protagonists. Poor Link is playing almighty janitor* while Zelda experiences the narrative.
BUT
I just watched a really long retrospective of BOTW by Liam Triforce over on YouTube and I want to play BOTW again in between BG3 sessions.
BUT BUT
I know I could add a new user account to my Nintendo Switch and link it and all... but I won't be able to play the Champion's Ballad DLC, because of that thing where the other Switch has to be the primary console.
So the dilemma is
if I want DLC content, I have to delete my complete playthrough. The one where I have 10,000+ rupees and all of the armour, fully upgraded, and have done the worst shrines and stuff.
The idea is practically giving me indigestion. Actually, given that I really do currently have some indigestion, it might have actually given me indigestion as I think about this dilemma and don't know what to do. I forgave Breath of the Wild for weapon durability and for the fact that there aren't any "real" Zelda dungeons a long time ago. The "one save file and that's IT" remains thoroughly unforgivable, and I will die on that hill.
I never deleted my first complete playthroughs of any previous Zelda, and I genuinely resent that Nintendo changed it like this because... something something piracy, I guess? Something something stopping people from account sharing? I don't KNOW?
And, yes, this all means, in all these years, I have only ever played--only ever experienced--Breath of the Wild once. And it's Nintendo's fault. I will pick it up every now and then and faff around, but that's all.
I suppose in the meantime I'll just keep playing Baldur's Gate III. 'Cause Larian is a normal video game company (not a toy company, I'll die on that hill about Nintendo, too) and will allow me to have multiple playthroughs at the same time with the same account with full access to the entire game that I paid for.
*I am not linking the TV Tropes pages. I will not do that to you. If you go looking them up on your own, that's on you.

Hi how are you how are you
The echoing question I ask myself constantly
How are you
A conversation starter with no meaning between strangers in a grocery store, a clerk asking a customer, a coworker asking another coworker,
How are you
A forced question into introspection I demand from myself, a longing conversation between me and my mother, a scream into the abyss to a friend who never answers.
How are you
I wonder quite often
