Grooseland Grand Opening

I have a goofy headcanon that if Groose ever successfully open Grooseland, he'll probably does a parade + along a partnership with Fun Fun Island :D

This is a redraw twice, originally from 2015, the last one with the blue hue ambience was from early 2023 but reworked again recently for the scene + coloring in. Included the greyscale one too since you guys love it !

In Zelda games, the monarchs' last name is Hyrule, the name of the kingdom. I propose an AU where everything is the same except Groose was able to actually name the surface what he wanted so all the monarchs' last names are just Grooseland.

DEAR HYLIA,

#zelda lxxiii of grooseland...... #tortilla asks

[ask-the-nine-links]

To link the post dude came and zelda forced me to write a letter i do not care how you are doing one bit i am just doing what she told me to iv done nothing to make you think that i care so stop thinking that right now but if anythings beating you up i will be mad cause thats my job im the only one allowed to beat you up everythings fine over here your loftwing still hates me even though iv apologizes like lots of times it just squawks at me every time i get close its not like im gonna steal it again probably now that youre gone peatrices affections have turned to me how do you stand it shes so annoying but i kinda like that karen girl we would make such cute little red haired babys shes kinda cute to be honest i think i kinda like her your girlfriends being a jerk shes not letting me name the surface grooseland that would be such a fantastic name but she said something about destroying property or something like that anyway im done from groose

Wind: This guy's grammar sucks.

Sky: How did you- nevermind give it here.

Sky: Also Groose is trying his best, leave him be.

Wind: How far up his ass can he be? Wanting to name it after himself?

Sky: That's just Groose, he's gotten better. Also Hyrule is named after Hylia, so doesn't it make sense to suggest a name after himself?

Wind: Fair enough.

Everyone thinks that Ganondorf would feel ashamed and undignified that Groose was his ancestor but I think that's wrong actually. Groose was meant to be a man who was ordinary by all means, who was meant to lead an ordinary life as ordained by Hylia, who was meant to simply marvel at the feats of her reincarnated descendant and her hero against the Demon Tribe and not interfere. Instead, despite not having an ounce of magic or the advantage of fated powers at his side, he goes after Link and forces the gods and their enemies to acknowledge him. He puts up a fight successfully against Demise using his own ingenuity and persistence. He is strong, he is intelligent, and most importantly he bullies Link. Ganondorf would read about his ancestor and say, "Well, that explains where my bottomless ambition and tenacity comes from. I will wield the magic and power that is now mine by birthright, thanks to you, and accomplish everything that I desire and pave my own path just as you did."

#and he will create grooseland of course #ganonthots

[soleil-in-retrograde]

So I'm plotting out a Legend of Zelda crossover fic that more or less involves Linkle, Revali, Ravio, and Groose as the ragtag interdimensional party.

I just realized Ravio is the one who is going to be the sensible one by default in this group and have terrified myself. The poor man is going to have a dozen nervous breakdowns by the end due to having to be The Adult here.

[unironicallycringe]

your sksw sky islands world building hand them over

obsessed with the way this ask is worded like I'm being robbed, I find it very silly funny

ok but yes let's go gamers!!!!! I'm going to ramble though, it's ass in the morning for me and I'm up because of The Horrors (tummy hurts)

There Are More Islands. Obviously the ones we see in-game have the additional complication of "rendering a bunch of NPCs and buildings in a livable settlement is difficult actually", so I usually imagine that there's more in terms of habitable islands with people and resources. The bulk of those islands would be clustered near Skyloft, but there would be small scattered places farther off over Lanayru and Eldin.

But They Used Most Of Their Damn Trees. Groose makes a big deal out of there being trees on Grooseland The Surface, which of course makes sense because he's never seen like, uninterrupted forest. And while they do have a few trees in Skyloft, they have a lot more wooden structures and books. I like to think that over the years, they ended up over-harvesting, so this generation has the fewest trees on the main islands. You probably have to fly to more distant islands to get wood nowadays, and bamboo is proving more useful (s/o to Polaris for this last one)

The Graveyard Is Small For A Reason. Deaths from old age or disease are uncommon, whereas the most common cause of death is falling from the islands. In which case, the body has been unrecoverable up until the cloud barrier opened up.

The Sky Knights Aren't Fighters. Going off of the above, the biggest threat to life is falling, so it makes sense that becoming a knight is primarily focused on being an adept bird-rider. The use of a sword is secondary - sure it's for handling the small monsters that appear at night, but nothing intense. Really, it seems more culturally vestigial. "We do this because our ancestors did and it's part of our identity." Knights are seen more as helpful and honorable guardians.

The Small Town Gossip Is Off The Charts. Self-explanatory. Everybody is religious and in everybody else's business. They ain't got much else news, so they're talking about damn Birdathan from down the road who got into it with Chirphanie over her hedges creeping into his garden.

Newcomers Are Rare But They Happen. That would be folks from distant islands flying on Loftwings or straight up using flying machines (ex: Beedle). Practically unheard of is people coming from the Surface, because well, there shouldn't be anything down there.

That's all I can remember for now - my fic doesn't spend too much time in Skyloft because Link immediately fucks off to find out that there's way more civilization beyond the borders, but I have definitely Thought About Skyloft A Lot!!!

LU Zelink marriages head canons, go!

Alright, let’s see...

Time and Twilight are excluded here because Time has Malon, and Twilight is heavily implied to be interested in Ilia (plus the whole Midna mess) so he’s not here either.

...And before anybody gets on my case, Legend and Fable aren’t siblings here! Them being siblings is just a headcanon! They’re not related here!

We good? Good.

Anyways, this got long so I’m putting it under the cut.

For Sky and Sun... I think Skyloft has a lot of traditions and things, so their wedding would have a lot of that. Everybody on Skyloft attends I’m sure, plus the handful of friends Sky and Sun made on the surface, the kikwi’s and mole guys (who’s names I’m not remembering at the moment) and all. They probably have the wedding somewhere in Faron, as the first wedding on the Surface Grooseland and it’s a very happy affair :)

Once Four is old enough to get married, I think his and Dot’s wedding is a lot like Sky’s: lots of tradition, but not too big of an event, lots of family and friends (and people they have to invite because it’s technically a royal wedding 🙄). The minish probably help in all sorts of little ways, with any food and little details on Dot’s dress. Her and Four probably aren’t nearly serious enough during the ceremony, and a couple of people are scandalized. They don’t care a bit.

Wind has a while to go before he’s old enough to really get married, but I think him and Tetra make it a pretty small deal. Tetra suggested eloping but she was mostly kidding. Mostly. They probably have the ceremony on the ship, but dock it at Outset so they can have the party afterwards there without running out of room. It takes them a while to find someone to officiate (you can’t officiate your own wedding, Tetra) Makar and Medli do the music, and Tingle probably invites himself.

Legend, after he accepts that Marin is gone and lets himself love again (...it probably takes a while), would probably prefer a pretty small wedding. Fable is all for it (I’m sure she’d hate a fuss), so they have a quiet wedding in the apple orchard by Legend’s house. Ravio somehow ends up making money off of it, and probably gives Legend one of his own items as a wedding gift.

Hyrule, no matter which Zelda it is that he’s in love with (I certainly don’t have any clue XD) does not want a big wedding. Of course, he somehow ends up with one anyways because he’s marrying a princess and especially if you add in the whole “destined to be king” thing he possibly has it’s probably a wedding and a coronation, so it’s a Big Deal. Poor Hyrule is an absolute mess of nerves.

Warriors and Artemis almost elope. They very much consider just booking it from the castle for a week or two to get married then come back, so they can skip the whole fuss and political nonsense that comes with a royal wedding, but Impa keeps giving them glares so she’d probably stop them. So they put up with the whole spectacle of everything, then very much enjoy a quiet honeymoon.

Wild... I’m a little hesitant to say much about since I haven’t played totk yet (no spoilers!!!) and am not quite sure how things have changed between him and Flora (if at all). But either way, I think they probably try to have a nice quiet wedding, then have a bigger party afterwards. Probably a little like Rhondson and Hudson’s wedding, it’s just a small affair. Then a big party and everything afterwards where they invite everyone they can, everybody Wild’s met and helped over the years.

#I fucking love that video so much #Cat talks

"WHO TURNED ME INTO MARKETABLE! SQUEAKY! TOY!?!"

I bet Grooseland would have one of these as merchandise--if Groose ever achieving his dream to build Grooseland as a theme park :D

WIP Wednesday!

creator warnings: peatrice x groose

Link raised a brow and set down his chisel. “What do you mean?”

Groose swept a hand through his hair and sighed. “I’m having feelings.”

“About…?” Now Link’s full attention was on Groose, having abandoned the carving he was working on the second he walked in.

“It’s embarrassing to even say,” he mumbled. For the first time ever, Groose seemed small, shy, timid. “I don’t know, you’ll just make fun of me.”

“I won’t. I never have.”

“Link,” he groaned. He dragged his hand across his face. “I like someone.” Link didn’t know what to say. His jaw dropped, eyes wide. He knew it was possible for Groose to like someone, given all his childhood years in Skyloft had been spent pining after Zelda, but this… this was different. When he liked Zelda, he was loud, boisterous, and mean. But now, he seemed so nervous.

Oh my Goddesses, Link thought. This is serious.

“Who…?” It was a tentative question. Link almost didn’t want to know.

“Well, y’know, it’s someone. In the village. On the surface with us. Around here, just about. Works right next door, actually.”

Link was sure he’d catch flies in his mouth at this rate. He knew immediately who it was.

“Peatrice?!” he exclaimed louder than he meant, and Groose rapidly shushed him, shooting up from his chair and slamming the door shut.

“Someone’s gonna hear!”

“I’m sorry, I just– Peatrice?”

Groose nodded, face almost as red as his hair. “Link, I know you and her had a thing going on–”

“We did not have a thing going on. I was being polite and she… took it the wrong way, I guess.”

“Anyway, I don’t know. I think I really like her. I visit her every day to deposit some stupid scrap or whatever, but it’s just an excuse to talk to her. Sometimes I have Gondo talk to her and ask her what she thinks of me and stuff.”

Link said nothing.

“Look, I need your help. I don’t know how to tell her because what if she thinks I’m a weirdo? Or a freak? The hair is an acquired taste, I know, but–”

“You’ll be fine.”

“Huh?”

“You’ll be fine. I know it for a fact. You just need to work up the courage and tell her.”

“Easier said than done, bigshot. You have a whole world-saving adventure behind your back. I have, what, Grooseland? And that’s not even the real name because you guys are no fun.”

Link did know it for a fact, though, because one night Zelda came home from Peatrice’s Item Check and wouldn’t stop giggling to herself, so he’d asked her what had put her in such a good mood. Before she could stop herself, she blurted it out.

“Peatrice likes Groose!” And then she giggled some more. “Can you believe that?”

No, he couldn’t. In fact, it had almost made him cringe remembering Peatrice’s fondness with him during his own journey.

But now, part of him wanted to help in the matchmaking process. He knew what Zelda had been up to the whole time she’d asked Groose about Peatrice–if he liked her, what he thought of her, if he thought she was pretty–and that she was entirely in on the game.

“I can be your wingman,” Link offered. “I know Pipit did that for Fledge once.”

“That didn’t work out,” Groose said with a roll of his eyes.

“Right, sorry.”

“And it would be weird for you to be my wingman since she used to like you. Maybe I’ll just bring Gondo along, like I always do.”

“Good idea.” Link turned around and took his chisel back up, starting to work away at the wood again.

Groose sighed and held his head in his hands. “I’m going to the Item Check,” he said finally. Link bit back a chuckle and instead took off a larger chunk of wood than he meant to.

In light of the Nintendo Direct coming out tomorrow I have this to say…

If we see the ruins of Skyloft in Tears of the Kingdom, or places named something like ‘Pipit’s Point, Karane Ridge, Fledge’s Peak’ or even get an island called Grooseland, I swear to God I will bawl my eyes out

My night is RUINED, I have looked high and low but there is no area named GrooseLand in Tears of the Kingdom.

$70 wasted! >:|

[ask-the-nine-links]

My dearest Link,

I have not seen you in so long! My heart bursts from my chest like a Loftwing from it’s shell whenever I think of you. Your warm smile, your tender gaze, Hyrule will never be complete without them. 

I hope you are well? All is well over here. Groose is working on the Groosenator (what a horrid name!) and is recommending that, rather than Hyrule, we name the surface “Grooseland.” Of course, we would never do that. We know what it will be called, and changing the name could be horrible! By changing the name to Grooseland, Hylia may come to smite the surface with her mighty power for naming her land such a ridiculous name. That’s me, now, I guess. I’m the goddess Hylia. Goddesses, that’s strange to think about. When I’m praying, do I pray to myself? When I swear by the goddess, as I swearing by myself? Am I now the one who sent all the heros to save Hyrule time and time again? Am I the one who sent YOU? Oh, Link, I wish you were here. You always know exactly what to say. 

What has your journey been like? I hope you have been well taken care of, and you haven’t been starving, or walking too long, or hurt in any way. I wish I had the power to bring you home, Link. I wish I had the power to make sure you were safe. 

I love you, Link. I love you from the bottom of my heart, and I will love you for the rest of my days. You are not only Skyloft’s hero, not only Hyrule’s hero, but my hero. 

With all the love I can possibly muster,

Zelda

Wind: Oh Sky~

Sky: Suddenly it sounds like the perfect time for a nap.

Wind: So you don't want to hear what your girlfriend said? That's a shame, but I'm sure the others would enjoy seeing it!

Sky: Wait hold on a second Sailor-

Wind: This is honestly so sweet, I'm getting a toothache reading it. And Grooseland? Horrid name. Wait your girlfriend is Hylia-

Sky: I'm going to chuck you off the edge of Skyloft and ask the Knights not to save you.
