#great eagle bow

[starl1t-vo1d]

Hi tumblr are ya'll interested in seeing a wip of Revali’s bow? I don't usually post my cosplay stuff on here but idk I think ya'll would want this. Prop building is something I absolutely love doing. There's still things to do for the bow but it's almost done!

The explanation for why totk’s story is so Not Great and how disconnected from its predecessor it feels being that the devs didn’t want to alienate new players who didn’t know anything about botw’s story just falls apart the more I think about it. Nothing from this stupid half a plot works unless the player is familiar with specific details from the better games that came before it.

The believability of Link and Zelda’s connection to each other hinges on you knowing about the nuance of their relationship in botw. The ancient sages fighting with the champions’ arms and divine beast helms will only be impactful to botw/aoc players because totk doesn’t bother to explain the significance of that callback at all. Fi’s cameo is meaningless unless you either got every memory in botw or finished the master trial dlc (and know about her from skyward sword). You’ll only get the full context of Teba being sidelined in favour of a 12-year old if you played a specific chapter of Age of Calamity’s second DLC. Like sorry but I think Nintendo just made a bad story tbh

#bluebird.txt #salt of the kingdom #totk critical #yes i do think aoc is better than totk and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t #and In what universe is tarrey town common knowledge among non-fans while the divine beasts are a complete mystery #the mcu-ification of Zelda #also the champions’ weapons and sages’ helmets can’t believe I forgot about those! #if you’d never encountered anything from botw and wanted to know who Revali was after seeing the great eagle bow description #or you wanted to know why the Zora sage wore a helmet shaped like an elephant #you’d be shit outta luck unless you googled that information bc totk sure won’t tell you

I just finished Tulin's storyline and excuse me while I bawl about this game further cementing the fact that Revali made himself a Champion. He was no descendant of an ancient Sage nor did he have a loving family to train him (that we know of). There was no power destined to be his: he crafted his own version of wind control without any support or spiritual guidance and excelled at it and then he and the other Champions went into battle without the special helms, without a sacred tear/charm to further enhance his abilities, without the certainty of two rulers (and a sage from the future) with god-like powers that could back them up if things went awry. Because of this, the original Sages survived where the Champions did not.

Revali was doomed from the start and if he'd known he would've still honed his craft and piloted Medoh with his beak held high and I am in shambles about it

#totk spoilers #tears of the kingdom spoilers #totk meta #don't mind me i'm having a normal one #and to be perfectly clear: this is not me downplaying tulin's achievements #I adore him and he worked his ass off and he /made/ himself worthy of the title of Sage and i wouldn't have it any differently #son boy son i would die for him #but by god do the champions (and revali in particular) hurt an extra amount in retrospective #totk may refuse to mention the champions by name (at least so far idk about the other regions) #but revali is so fucking present in the negative spaces he inhabits #revali's theme still plays at the flight range #when teba is introduced there is an emphasis on the strip of cloth attached to the great eagle bow #revali's landing is the first area of rito village that clears after the blizzard #the village's main spire is now named after medoh #and tulin looks far more honored to receive revali's bow (which is regarded as the very best) than he is about becoming a sage #it is thanks to revali's sacrifice that the village was granted the chance to thrive and defend itself #and that truth lives on no matter what

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.

[caguaydreams]

Hold on a sec, is it....

Is it Revali's bow that Tulin is carrying to battle here?

It is.

YOU BET YOUR ASS I'M GONNA CRY OVER THIS RIGHT NOW

#😭😭😭😭😭AHEEMHSHSHSH #❤️❤️❤️❤️ I was just thinking. I was JUST thinking man... I wish the champion weapons are still around #And then I realised. The trident. The scimitar... And there's the great eagle bow holy shit man... Tulin has it. This is so precious #Shut the fuck up this is the only thing that'll occupy my head in the following week #Tears of the Kingdom #Revali #Totk #Totk spoilers

I know Nintendo never would've done this because, y'know, despite the darkness of the story the games still have to be as ~kid friendly~ as possible to appeal to a wider audience.... but imagine if in each of the divine beasts you could find bones. They wouldn't even have to be specific bones that look like they might have belonged to a Rito or a Gerudo or, assuming they have bones, a Zora or a Goron. Just nondescript, generic piles of bones, one hidden in each of the divine beasts. Maybe not so hidden that they'd be impossible to find, but somewhere especially in the areas where the battles against the blights take place. Somewhere quiet an unassuming in those places. The kind of thing that could super easily be missed if you're not looking for it even though it's in plain sight. Doesn't need to be graphic or overly ominous, but it would add to the crushing weight of Knowing What You Know. Something tangible to say oh yeah, one of your only friends fucking died here. Not just died- got absolutely obliterated here.

#would be a whole other level of 'holy fucking shit' if you also could find the champions' weapons lying next to those bones #except for revali's of course. we know he didn't have his great eagle bow with him when he fought the blight. so he'd have a falcon bow. #legend of zelda #breath of the wild #botw

#bwark #still a liiiittle bit annoyed at teba for being like ''take care of that great eagle bow because it means so much to HARTH'' ??¿?¿¿?¿?¿¿? #but like yeah. not only because he actually gives a shit about my guy but like he just doesn't deserve that #i personally liked tulin a lot more but teba didn't deserve to be tossed aside like that #anyway i promise i'll stop totk posting now because i'm just beating a dead horse (<- has made several drafts that won't be posted)

[picory]

it's amazing how tulin has developed the ability to control the winds at such a young age, no doubt his admiration for revali playing a role in that. my only hope is that this was something that he learned himself through years of practice, just like revali, instead of it being the innate ability he's always had by being a descendant of the sage of wind. idk, i just like the thought of him working for it

#it was kinda of funny how he immediately knew how to create and send out an avatar of himself? lol #also i just realized teba gave him the great eagle bow 🥹 revali's bow.... being put to good use #an opportunity to name revali there that they didn't use. WHY #did that bow come out of thin air #is it a replica #quacks #totk lb #totk spoilers #actually i'm not sure if the sage of wind had a similar ability. i didn't pay attention to that. but it'd make sense

[timegears-moved]

#bwark #totk lb #URBOSA CRUMBS. I'LL TAKE IT #like this is interesting to learn about lore-wise!!!!! #so why the fuck does teba mention how much the great eagle bow means to harth WHO WASN'T EVEN ALIVE WHEN IT WAS CREATED #but give us nothing on revali #the gorons don't give much on daruk and the boulder breaker either this shit sucks #happy for urbosa tho she deserves it
