A project I finished a while ago, unrelated to Linktober, but I realized it matches today's prompt, so here it is! It's a book I made entirely by hand (my very first and it shows lol) describing 40 different plants/food items from Breath of the Wild.
I’m (finally) deleting my Breath of the Wild anthology, Hyrule Compendium, and will be reuploading two of the three stories individually.
I’ve given each one a big edit so they can stand alone. They should go up this weekend. I envisioned so many more stories going into Compendium, but am now excited to give the ones I did write a new look. If you read the original, my appreciation is infinite.
Some more info on each story and what changed from the originals under the cut.
Where the World Ends - Link and Zelda explore the Lomei Labyrinths and uncover clues that point to their original purpose and the great secret they contain. Minor edits throughout for clarity, to flesh out scenes/descriptions or otherwise improve the flow of the work.
The Rise and Fall of the Yiga - A story of the birth and re-birth of the Yiga Clan. Overwintering in Akkala Citadel, the new Master of the Yiga reckons with preserving her people’s culture and finding a place for them in the new world. LOTS of minor edits to make this one standalone, as it is a direct sequel to From the Ground Up. A few changes in key scenes to better describe the Yiga’s dilemma and why they are trying to rehabilitate themselves.
A Travellers Guide to Hyrule Reborn - twins Mina and Mills Copperblade set out to document the changes to Hyrule in the first twenty years of Zelda’s reign. This work is my unofficial lore bible for what I think would make an interesting post-BOTW setting. I’m going to do a full re-write of it after TOTK comes out, because I think it can be vastly improved to focus more on Mina and Mills’ adventures and also because I think TOTK will give me much more material to work with. The work, as it is now, will be deleted, but can be viewed here if you really want.
I finally finished my compendium priority run! The last handful were a real slog and I had to force myself to warp around the map and get them. There's some I would have liked to improve but I've had enough!
The aim was to get natural 'in the wild' pics of everything, whenever possible, as if Link was creating the actual compendium photos that Symin sells you. Creatures and monsters were the most fun, weapons and FISH the least fun. I still definitely recommend it if you like wandering around a lot.
Coincidentally, u/_pe5e_ on Reddit finished doing the same thing a few weeks ago, although they took more stylised photos. It's interesting to compare them.
I'll share some favourite photos in a few more posts soon.
(and yes, I have already started again with a new thing. May is a long way away...)
girls have one fear and its the fear of revali dying a second death by having nobody alive continue to remember him and his legacy . btw. if u even care.
