#Or you can beat ganon with a soup ladle you know up to you

[phoenixcatch7]

Biting biting biting I've got the BEST totk fic idea EVER and I'm NOT going to share it because I can't put it into WORDS.

But it's a totk au and kass and wolfie are there (naturally). If you think this is going to be self indulgent you're right. But I think I want it to be like, expanding on the nature of the zonai and their sky islands vs the hylians and sky loft and the cloud barrier. I want to incorporate all the theories I have about totk I've gathered over the past half year or so. I want to see the crimson loftwing again.

And I also want link to be a sage using ganons stone but I want him to get it before defeating him but that means even more finicky time travel and its already complicated enough ToT.

And I want link to resurrect the great skeletons. And get trapped in koholint. And befriend the baby wind fish.

And iI have this overarching theme so clear in my head but I can't describe it :(. It's like.... Free will and prophecy being the same thing? Schrodingers narrative. Cycles of hatred but you never perpetuated the hatred and you're dubious of the other guys free will but you're kind of sick of him anyway because he got a clean slate and started right back on his old bs and you're pretty sure he saw a lack of you in the past and started causing trouble unaware that fate herself was deeply unimpressed and about to read him for filth.

And there's a third party who gave herself to basically death and didn't expect you to save her over a sword you've never actually needed in either game and she's technically a newcomer to the cycle but she's always the newcomer and aren't you in the same boat anyway? It all comes back to the cycle and you're precisely as young as you are old and there's always a library of Alexandria that gets destroyed and it could all be so easily stopped if evil just knocked it off but free will means it won't and so you'll always respond because honestly screw that and thus free will becomes fate. Because even if he stops someone else will take the mantle and it's always you who responds because you promised. But you never had to agree in the first place because you'd do it anyway and so fate becomes free will.

And it's all a freaking CYCLE and the ground is in the clouds because you were here once ages ago and now you're here all alone because people used to be unable to reach the surface and now they can't reach the sky.

Like how am I supposed to put that in a fic where wolf link tries to eat a stam bulb and makes himself sick like an idiot because dogs can't eat garlic.

#Unrelated but we need a canon design for dragon link because I just know the design would slap incredibly #It'd have to be like 800k I don't have that much in me lmao #And I know myself well enough to know I'd want to make a linked universe sequel #I don't need this rn bruh the job I've spent years training for is getting taken over by ai and is sunk cost fallacy going to come in play? #Idk!! I want to make a stupid fic unveiling every facet of myself using the 120yo low wis twink and bones of the father willingly given #I also want to go to sleep it's late. #I'd say I'll feel better in the morning but I have to get up real early so probably not ToT #Zelda is in such a weird place in the cycle #And the whole plotline in totk is about getting the master sword back to link when it's not even necessary like bruh #In botw it's narratively optional you know lol? You can reclaim it if you want #Or you can beat ganon with a soup ladle you know up to you
