#i see AUs sort of like the state of chinese animation culture right now

[peevishpants]

when I first saw your hyrule university au I was kinda upset with it because Skyward Sword is the first game chronologically, and BoTW is the last! but then I read more comics and I'm enjoying it, and I think it's an interesting reversal on canon.

and an actual question; do you have any plans to add any Goron?

haha that's fair, and thanks for enjoying it now despite the departure from the generally accepted games canon! I see this AU as a sandbox space to rearrange canon concepts however I want, in any way I thought would be cool. I decided Link would be an archaeology student and needed some ruins for him to discover, so the Divine Beasts from BOTW became "ancient" ruins in the modern-day setting that's mostly mapped onto Skyward Sword. Actually wait in trying to justify my choice I had such a cool idea - maybe LINK IS THE ONE TO DISCOVER THESE RUINS BC THEY WERE WAITING FOR HIM... ONLY SOMEONE WHO DOES WEIRD TIMELINE STUFF COULD FIND THEM... oh wait never mind I already said Divine Beasts lore was written in his textbooks and therefore known to other archaeologists already... hmm we'll workshop that later

I also want to disclaim that I am really just making stuff up for this AU as I go along - I'm bound to contradict myself eventually, and plenty of my ideas are not very good upon close inspection, but I've pigeon-holed myself by uploading them thinking they were cool/funny/unexpected without being careful haha

For example, I just answered another ask with "Link had 0 shirts before university" but I also already drew Link getting his uni acceptance letter, wearing a Shirt (the post is queued up! Or you can find it on my instagram) so. Schrodinger's Shirt?

Also, re: gorons, in a way yes! I've sneaked a to-be-named Goron in as the king (and face) of the Goritos empire, aka the Hylian producers of every student's favourite studying snack (tm) LOL
