#idk why he has the full triforce

[furbygoblinxiv]

Ok now to be annoying about a completely different flavor of Zelda: That cartoon from the 80s that has aged so poorly I take psychic damage every time I watch it (which has been multiple times (I have problems)). A few months ago when rewatching and being sick of the Link's personality from the show (his best feature is how funny the "Well excuuuuse me, princess" line is) I was like "I wish the quiet kid from the games/art was here instead" and accidentally thought too hard and made an au/rewrite of the cartoon lmao.

Anyways Zelda cartoon au where cryptid boy Link saves the post apocalyptic Hyrule of loz 1 and chills in the castle with cartoon Zelda to defend the triforce pieces that they have while trying to find the last piece before Ganon can find it, stumbling across the sleeping loz 2 Zelda along the way lol. Hijinks ensue as he teaches Zelda the brawns to back up her girlboss and he gets an adventure buddy because its dangerous to go alone and Zelda with her boomerang and crossbow goes hard. I think a monster of the week style plot works for the earlier Zelda games, but an overarching plot could coexist with that since that is kinda how games work lol.

As per usual here are a bunch of slapdash barely related sketches of my ideas with my expanded thoughts below bc I think it'd be fun to share:

I look at the official art of Link being a quiet determined little dude with a backpack of tools and wish that that was represented more. Like look at him! What a guy! Imagine giving a quiet puzzle solving 14 year old a sword, lethal magical weapons, and a wasteland to explore! I would love a show about that! In terms of other characters, swap out that annoying fairy character, put in a Navi clone, at least Navi didn't have a crush on Link🤮. Ganon can stay the same so long as he was always a demon pig and was never a Gerudo man because unlike Nintendo, I do not want to imply that the only prominent man of color in the series has only one big braincell thats just screaming "EVIL" on loop. But! Keep Zelda the same, I love her so much in the cartoon, she's obnoxious in a slay girlboss way, maximum vibes. By virtue of not having a paper thin plot, most other characters that were fine get fixed by proxy.

I think plot wise? It takes place a few years after the first game. Initially, Link saved the royal family and they started rebuilding that area of Hyrule, and Link traveled around to help people. One day, Ganon's minions start making attacks on the castle to steal the triforce pieces back to revive him fully, and a Zelda who greatly admires Links steps up to defend the place. Eventually, Zelda requests Link return to help defend the castle while they search for the mysterious hidden third triforce piece in order to combine the full thing and wish for peace in Hyrule. Link agrees and the hyjinks begin.

IIRC the og Link backstory was that he was the son of the hyrulean queen and the elf king or smth? In the manga? I didn't want him to be hylian royalty but I wanted to keep that cryptid vibe, hence why I have him related instead to the great fairy and the kokiri. He just leaves the forest/cave one day with literally nothing to go save Hyrule, what a chad. I think it'd be funny if people describe Zelda as feral due to how boisterous and headstrong she is, especially out on the field, but Link is the quiet version of wild that you don't notice at first. She is openly intelligent and snarky in comparison to "says 3 lines a day, bombs first and asks questions later, explore under every rock and bush" forest kid Link.

It would be fun though if "rushes into danger" Zelda resonated more with the triforce of power and "solves dungeon puzzles for funsies" Link with the triforce of wisdom, then they both resonated with the triforce of courage upon finding it. idk tho lol

I also think two different young Zeldas coexisting with each other after one awoke from a cursed slumber would be really funny. Like that's gotta be so awkward, especially if one has the fighter girlboss slay up to 11 and the other just woke up from a coma to her family gone and her kingdom destroyed and just kinda wants to read books and drink tea in peace. Imagine being the same age or older than your great (great?) aunt. Or imagine if the old lady Impa nursemaid to Zelda 1 Zelda was the young Impa nursemaid to the Zelda 2 Zelda. Wild.

If I wasn't incapable of remembering to finish writing wips I'd write that series lol. Alas, this is all I can pull for now.

I'd love to call this propaganda to go watch the show but maybe don't because its yikes. This is moreso propaganda for someone to make a Zelda cartoon show instead of the movie that I sense Nintendo is plotting to make. Also, if you've read this far, I should mention I also will probably be posting art from some of my actual long term Zelda aus beyond just expanding on the cartoon, though I may continue to do that if my train of thought continues on these tracks.

Fs pony art and lore

@shadylink I'm never really gonna refine and post these as their own thing but I figured u might be interested, most of these are just really bad finger doodles, cuz I hadn't drawn ponies in such a long time-

Btw in this au I decided to rework mlp's magic system, so basically each type of pony has their own type of magic ofc

Pegasi get flight , unicorns get spell magic, and earth ponies get strength that's the norm

But basically I'm deciding to see this as like, percentages.

Basically unicorns can do things like transformation and warp spells, pegasi can fly at high speeds skillfully and create gusts of winds, earth ponies can lift like 9x their weight and be more resistant to natural poisons/have less chance of injury because of a really dense coat and stronger bones -

but this is after specialized training in their areas and requires like years of practice. This is like 100% of the potential of those specific things, like Olympic athletes

most ponies just use like 50% of their capabilities so for unicorns that's just like refridgerating spells, light spells, levitation - pegasi is just flying over distances and being able to walk on clouds- earth ponies lifting like idk 4.5x their weight

so just normal skills that aid them in day to day life

i was thinking what if ponies could be half of two types?

so instead of just 100% magical capacity for a specific quality, 50% of their magic will be from one type and 50% of the other.

So if an earth pony and a unicorn had a kid, then MAYBE, (the phenomenon is a bit more rare but not unusual) they'd have the basic earth pony strength and the basic unicorn magic. HOWEVER, if that kid wanted to say, learn a warp spell, they wouldn't be able to do so.

Full unicorns would have longer horns and earth ponies would have stronger more vibrantly colored hooves that an earth-unicorn would.

Full pegasi would have fuller, stronger, sharper wings, while a half pegasus would have softer and smaller ones.

Alicorns would have the full magical extent of all three, essentially giving them 3x the magic of others. That mix could probably create even more magical potential.

For obvious reasons, there aren't any pegasi-unicorns because they'd look too much like alicorns design wise. I'm gonna say that their magical energies just oppose too much, while earth ponies, being so tied to the natural world is more able to mix with both.

Link was originally an earth-pegasi with a bit of extra strength and the ability to fly in general. His battle style is mostly sharp fast cuts with quick brief escapes to the air and then back into battle

also I've decided to give them clothes

when Link split into four, the types of ponies they were depended on their parents genetics

So green's a full pegasi, blue's a full earth pony, red is a earth-unicorn (this is why he uses a fire rod, he wouldn't be able to do a fire spell that strong on his own, but a fire rod would enhance his natural magic) and vio is a full unicorn

Anyways shadow is kinda like stealing king sombras vibes, he looks earth pegasi like link was but his wings are hooves are all shadowy lol

also links cutie mark was a sword in front of the triforce

after the split, each of their cutie marks turned into the four sword in front of their respective element

enjoy lol, u can do whatever u want with this info, hope you like it

EDit: also I fixed their swords so they can actually hold them with their mouths properly enough to correctly aim

oh I also forgot!

basically a little tidbit from my brainrot is that red actually got the hang of his unicorn magic really well, but vio just struggled even being able to start it up to levitate a pebble

he ended up being able to use his magic only after they almost got crushed by a rock slide and vio was able to raise a crystal sheild

he got bad magical exhaustion from that tho and still struggled to control his magic until shadow helped him later

green originally thought he was link because he was the only one who had wings, but because he wasn't earth pony and their cutie marks were just the elements they realized there wasn't an "original" but rather a split four ways

it takes them some time to realize that the type of pony they are isn't connected to the elements, but rather genetic probability

also when they first split vio had no idea he was a unicorn and while he was trying to figure it out the others were just like

listening to him ramble about how their types don't make sense!

how does earth relate to the water element? and if its a genetic thing, then why is red the only unico-

and then he's like why are u staring at me like that???is there something on my face?? and then he just has a whole freaking 100% unicorn horn and he's like well f*ck

anyways I also forgot to mention-

basically if a pony were to engage in battle stuff, some little tricks as a last ditch attempt to creat espace between themself and the enemy include:

Earth: stomping the ground so hard that your opponent loses balance

Pegasi: Creating a guest of wind to blow your opponent away

Unicorn: stab with the horn <3

this fungus was just playing phantom hourglass, and the fact that link can just.... give up on saving tetra, if not for the game repeating the dialogue to force him to choose another option, and yes, i did a full five minutes of saying that no, i wouldn't save tetra, and this got me thinking. wind and the others would probably just give up on a certain point, especially if he was at the reincarnation or tethered au, since... well, player is there beside them, they already lived through it once and they honestly don't care if hyrule is destroyed at this point. and yeah, while there's hylia's threat, let's consider there wasn't, or maybe that reader was adamant on them resting for at least a little while, to act more self indulgent and, idk, be selfish for once.

oh boy, i think they break. I'll talk about time and wind, since oot, mm and ww were the ones i played the most. but then, reader already knowing full well what kind of hell time went through at oot, and somehow finding him after mm tutorial section, he just looks so.... done. tired, almost as if it's a lost hope. listen, I'd cry, i already cried playing the game, so if i really saw him like that. I'd go full on sobbing for him not to do this to himself, it's not fair that he has to go through all this shit.

and wind, poor boy was just living his laid back life, easy peasy until that fricking bird took his sister because of a random pirate he didn't even have anything to do with. and fact is, if he retained his memory, as long as he made sure that his sister wasn't taken, he would have nothing to do with tetra and her pirates, he wasn't even acknowledged as the retainer of the triforce of courage before that, so hylia shouldn't be able to hold that against him. besides, it was zelda who just threw herself into that trouble, why should he care? it may not look like that, but tetra is one of my favorite zelda, she's at least able to hold her weight in battle.

also, i can't accept nobody that talks bad about toon link, i think it's cute. heartwarming even.

— the fungus are growing in the courtyard, be careful. 🍄

NO BECAUSE FUNGI WHY YOU GOTTA DO ME LIKE THIS?!?!?! MAN I WANT TO SOB

The idea of Player carefuly holding the face of Wind (because our boy deserves recognition) and just "You didn't deserve any of this, Link. Not a single thing- I am so sorry." And baby boy just sobs into their arms- I've upset myself

#cloud answers #Anon asks

[science-lings]

I was gonna ask "who thinks swapping triforce pieces changes personality?" and then I remembered all the fanfics and AU's doing exactly that. Aren't the triforce pieces "attracted" to people who /potentially/ might embody them in their truest form? I swear I read that somewhere. That's why Link doesn't have the triforce in every game by default, and why he's still a courageous and heroic even without it. Bc the triforce is just a "symbol" of who/what you already are deep down inside your heart.

Honestly, the triforce lore is wack. Generally, the triforce is together... unless it's touched by someone whose heart is unbalanced or deliberately shattered into pieces. I think the only hero born with a piece of the triforce embedded into their soul was the Link from tp (but I think some downfall timeline ones did? idk I'm not a total expert on the lore)

The pieces of the triforce aren't ever bound to a person (aside from the full thing being passed through the royal family), the different pieces are swapped around constantly but they generally have to be earned or be what the person carrying it most values (or something?)

Link has gotten hold of the full triforce, and the triforce of courage, and the triforce of courage plus the triforce of wisdom, and the triforce of power has been held by so many more characters than just ganon(-dorf), and even has been held by 'good' characters, (Lana... that might be it but my point still stands that it's not the triforce of power that makes the villains evil)

Ganondorf in oot only got the triforce of power because his heart was imbalanced and he couldn't take the whole thing.

What I'm saying is that the whole triforce trio, with the red blue and green, and the three goddesses and whatever, just isn't as concrete as it's sold to us as being. Like the triforce isn't set up to be this thing where there's one person per piece, like that's all just capitalism for Nintendo to sell more splatfests

#that last part is kind of a joke but like... is it? #and that's why triforce swap aus annoy me a little #if you wanna give our main characters different motivations and different color schemes and different personalities just make an oc #ask andromeda #loz #tloz #triforce swap #i just think that the heroes spirit and the goddesses blood is way more in tune with what these ideas end up being #thats the thing thats holding them all together (demise's curse) not the triforce #the triforce is just a tool that people try to use to grant wishes and turn into animals and shit like that

[three-bunnies-in-a-trenchcoat]

who are ur links??? names and games and gun facts maybe???

!!!

First, we got First, aka Link from the sksw manga. Sad pathetic wet cat. Wants to go back home to his husband, but is STUCK HERE. He's the tallest Link (by an inch)!

Then Feather (sksw)! His fun fact is that he has the full Triforce, but no one knows that for, uh, plot reasons ig. He also regularly practices the harp, because Fi taught him and well- she's not there anymore. My dearest friend here, Godslayer Fulltriforce, does not understand why the others think he's one of the strongest. Anyway, hey, look at this cool sword he uses! It's a double helix blade, isn't that neat?

Then we have my personal little combo Link- MC/FS/FSA. His fun fact is he never used the four sword to put the colors back together (permanently), and they're all just. Y'know. There. (and Shadow. Freeloader.) The FSA comes in with this cool and fun thing I call CONVENIENT TIME TRAVEL

Then oot, aka Mask, because I am incredibly attached to the name and also that's just how the Links named each other. First notable unique trait. His was the masks, which just chill on his belt and offer mostly unhelpful advice. AMAP (assigned male at princess). Physically the youngest, but oh boy. Who even fucking knows what his mental age is (it's why he doesn't talk).

Then we have TP, who, like most of them, still doesn't have a name. His fun fact is that he's trans, but only because I wanted to make a really bad joke. He's friends with Zelda, but only because he uses her magic fountain to talk to Midna, and after a while it got kinda awkward to just walk into her house without knowing her

Wind Waker, aka Patch! Yes, his name is that for exactly the reason you would expect (he doesn't need an eyepatch, he just has a conveniently placed scar)! He's one of the three Triforce Links (Triforce heroes, one could say-), with both Courage and Power. He doesn't know about Power, and could care less about Courage

Spirit Tracks! Idk. He may or may not be in, depends on if I can find a good playthrough to watch

alttp/oos/ooa/la Link, aka Apple! Hermit apple farmer guy after he (willingly) left Hyrule once and got his heart broken (thanks, Marin). He and his Zelda are good friends (or maybe more idk). Doesn't talk, just stares piercingly into your eyes until you start getting uncomfortable because he looks about one bad thing away from breaking down sobbing

albw/th, Paint- he's a little guy :) half of the storage in his house is Ravio's stuff, and the other half is his wardrobe from Hytopia. I also need to find a playthrough for him.

loz 1 & 2, Wanderer, named thus because he doesn't stay in one place, much to his Zeldas' annoyance! The oldest Link (thats a coincidence, I promise). Everyone is like, wow, [botw], your Hyrule is horrible and filled with monsters, meanwhile he's just fucking crying because it's so nice here, look, the water isn't poisonous and the grass isn't trying to kill us and I can see the sky

HW! My most specialest guy :) I gave him Issues. Your token pyromaniac Link, fell in love with Sheik a la OoT- now both he and Zelda have things they need to think about for a good long while!

Lastly, botw! Truly does not understand what a gender is, even among the many other "has lived in the forest half their lives" Links. Whether or not he's experienced totk depends on whether I like it lol. Takes the advice of his own personal peanut gallery (the Champions' spirits) seriously, even when it's just Revali telling him to do something really fucking stupid. Talks a whole lot, especially to the master sword (he heard about Fi and figured hey why not). His glorious purpose in life is to cook, and if he wasn't so distracted sauteing vegetables he'd be one of the most powerful

#sorry it took a while to respond it was supper time #mb's writing #links meet au (name pending) #mb and flux scream about hats #i should have put this under a read more #loz

[bloobluebloo]

idk why... but I feel like we should've had some fckin' Phantom Ganons or ghost ships hunting for Triforce Shards in Wind Waker. it definitely would've given Wind Waker Gan the activity level of OoT Ganondorf to back up his presence and depth. It's not really a writing nitpick, and more of a enviornment/gameplay nitpick, but I think it would've put him above the Hyrule Warriors and OoT Ganons for me.

I mean I know he's not actively trying to destroy the great sea, but he's still looking for the triforce so it would've been nice to remind the player that this guy is not sitting on his ass when he's offscreen more often instead of just limiting it to an island being destroyed and 4 other things. Like imagine seeing a different type of Ghost Ship in the distance and then hearing Phantom Ganon's theme on full blast while sailing.

I agree with you anon. I think one of the major complaints that persist when it comes to Wind Waker’s gameplay is how empty the seas themselves feel. Wind Waker Ganondorf has the opposite problem TotK Ganondorf has; when he is on screen he has great presence but outside of that his presence is understated when it comes to the gameplay. Something as you mention would have made the seas feel more alive. It’s interesting that Ganondorf also comments on the empty state of the sea so dramatically; maybe part of that speech was influenced by self-awareness.

That being said, Wind Waker is already a 20+ year old game. This is why I would love, if they really decide to stick to open world gameplay, if they would take us back to the seas again. The physics they were able to develop with their in-house engine is impressive, and I have no doubt they could do some insane things at sea. We could have a game that rivals Black Flag or even surpasses it, and it stands as my gold standard for a seafaring adventure.

[strawberrycircuits]

Hi I have a quesiont. Why do they keep getting in these situations (Zelda game) and why did they take away his iphone (new Zelda game)

1. i have no fucking clue why they took his iphone away but they gave them a new one so its ok. maybe he traded it in at the apple store after he saved zelda idk

2. ok so a long ass time ago there was a war between 2 deities; Hylia and Demise. Hylia made humanity and Demise made monsters and theyre kind of our god and satan allegories for this whole thing. so Hylia was losing this war super bad, so she sent the rest of humanity into the sky on floating islands so they would be safe, trapped Demise only temporarily, and took her sword and told it to guide her eventual chosen hero who would end Demise's life once and for all, bc he'd be mortal and mortals could wield the triforce while gods (like her) could not. in the meantime, she, uh. dies? and reincarnates into a mortal girl. said mortal girl is the Zelda in skyward sword, and the chosen hero is Link in the same game.

Hylia essentially abuses the fact that sksw Link is in love with Zelda and would do anything if it meant she was safe to make sure he does her bidding-- a fact she literally explains to him directly as Zelda. (theres this one image of sksw link i use as a react image all the time, and its actually from when Hylia/Zelda is explaining that she used him to win a war he never signed up for.) its.... very blurry as to where sksw Zelda ends and Hylia begins. Zelda expresses extreme remorse over this fact but Hylia kind of seems to be like "i did what i had to do" and thats it.

so, that... works. Link continues to do Hylia's bidding (up to and including wielding the full triforce at one point!) until he's face to face with Demise. He kills Demise, and Demise places a curse on Link (and by extension, Zelda) that goes as follows;

"Extraordinary. You stand as a paragon of your kind, human. You fight like no human or demon I have ever known. Though this is not the end. My hate... never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end! I will rise again. Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!"

so what demise has done here is basically said, fuck you, this war is NOT over, i'm going to ensure that whoever the goddess hylia reborn becomes next, and whoever YOU become next, will have to defeat another version of ME forever, just because I don't want this world to EVER have the peace you fought so hard for.

so bc of that, Link, Zelda, and Demise Ganondorf keep reincarnating and going through the same thing over and over again.

tldr: goddess fucks up a war, becomes human, uses the fact that a college student is in love with her to manipulate him into fighting her battles for her, and him and his girlfriend get cursed for all of time to repeat this same battle in an endless cycle of death and reincarnation. war and death on planet hyrule or whatever

#aaaand thats why sksw is my fav game in the series. the lore man the looooreeee #also im leaving so much out u have no idea. i didnt even bring up hylias first hero or fi or the goddess sword or ganondorfs revivals or--

[star-ocean-peahen]

All right let's continue my original zelda story. Content warning for death and injury.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 (Other posts are tagged #cotf)

Today we get to the midpoint of the game. You know how the formula for Zelda is usually "in order to get The Big Thing, get These Smaller Things, then once you get that Big Thing (sometimes the Master Sword) then go get more Small Things for the second Big Thing" and then fight the final boss? Oversimplifying it but yeah. One more round of dungeons after this and then the final fight.

So after the first round of dungeons (And plenty of development!) we head to get the Master Sword for reasons yet undefined. Ganon sent a minion in the form of a giant snake to guard the sword and keep it out of the heroes' hands, so that's who they have to fight to get the sword.

OH this is irrelevant to the current events but I forgot to explain their group dynamics. Working idea is that Link is the main controllable character and the other two (Shei and Stella) swap out to solve puzzles/do certain actions/story stuff etc. Because it's really freaking difficult to play a game where an npc follows you around all the time, Link carries Stella in a backpack (like just as a bag of bones) and in combat situations (where id imagine npc following would be the most tense) Shei gets all magicky and starts glowing and floating. Kinda like Zelda in Age of Calamity.

.....Except, Shei doesn't have the best handle on his goddess powers, so he can't really control where he moves very well. In order to remedy this, Link has to lasso him and tow him around like the Triforce of Wisdom a balloon. Actually looking that over again it still seems kinda annoying so maybe that's an event specific thing instead of being present in every combat situation........hmm im rambling BUT the point is both Shei and Stella are present and active in fights.

SO back to the story they fight big evil snake and like close to the end SOMETHING happens (gonna shoot off ideas because im not sure what it should be yet) that gets Shei bitten by the evil snake. (Like. not the actual snake itself that one's huge like it splits into a bunch of smaller ones or spawns a bunch of little snakes) Some sort of event happens during the fight that should make that unavoidable but not feel like a punishment to the player, if that makes any sense? Like I don't want it to feel like you didn't beat the boss fast enough/well enough but I also don't want it to feel like it comes out of left field. I guess I want it to feel like it had to happen and there was nothing you could do?? (Like idk the floor gives out and trips Shei or at the end of one damage pattern it flies to the side and pins him down for a moment or something like that)

ANYWAY that was a lot of rambling obscuring a very important event SO-

You do manage to defeat the boss and reach the Master Sword, but just as Link pulls it Shei goes white and crumples (alternatively: gets a nosebleed), revealing the injury he sustained during the battle.

Impa, who accompanied them because she guided them to the Master Sword (Impa pops in and out of the action bc she has stuff to do elsewhere, also known as she shows up when its convenient), uses her Monocle of Truth (oh yeah I forgot to say she had that its like the lens of truth thats why shes wearing a monocle in the picrews) and determines that the venom of the snake is full of evil power and has no antidote.

They all panic. Shei doesn't want to die. He's not ready to accept any sort of future (throughout the story so far I want to imply that he's living in the present and doesn't like to think about what might happen in the future), especially not one where he dies.

✨Circumstances✨ come up that prevent them from leaving the area (monster resurgence, rubble blocking the exit, etc.), so they can't get help (still reworking those reasons). They can move him to a different clearing (this is a forest temple kind of place) where the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the wind is blowing, and it's all a contrast to what's happening.

Eventually they figure out all they can do is stay with him (😭 forgive me im still trying to give this moment the emotion it deserves and its Not Quite There yet so this is all you get sorry-). Remember this picture that I posted a while back? @acheronspride described it as cold, and that's exactly the vibe I'm going for.

So they sit around a tree and hold each other as the venom runs its course. It takes a long time (several hours) and during that time he gets increasingly dizzy/disoriented/sick/etc. (I wanted to avoid the "dying quickly but still has enough time to say important things" and "important things are said right before dying" tropes).

That's relevant because he does have something important to say. Remember the goddess-blood essence? If he dies as the last descendant of Hylia, her power and the legacy of every Princess Zelda will be lost forever. So he draws it out of himself, but he's not strong enough to hold onto it. The GBE splits into six pieces and scatters, and the piece of it that he DOES hold on to he bestows to Stella.

I think you can guess the reason for that! Sorry for cutting it off so soon, but I wanted to delay the next portion for later. Tell me what you think?

#cotf #shei #yes he dies #and he doesn't come back #hes dead dead #from the moment i brought his character into being I planned for him to die #i definitely dropped some pretty substantial hints that he dies #like i think i actually said it at one point #huh #oh well #sorry i think the flow of the post kinda got messed up at the end but its there! i made it! and i can always elaborate later when its easie #long post #tw death #tw snakebite #tw snake #tw injury #Legacy of a Millennia

[ihaveabsolutelynoideas]

Did someone say Minish Cap

Things about the Minish Cap that more people should talk about because it’s adorable and hilarious

The Power Braceletes. Makes Minish Four strong enough that he can move things regular sized Four can move. That means Four can canonically throw people around when he's two inches tall. Time's Golden Gauntlets can get dunked on (Only when Four is tiny tho. He doesn't have enhanced strength when he's big. The bracelets were made for Minish so I guess they don't work when he's big lol).

His Gust Jar sucked up a ghost. Just slurped it right up. And Four can see spirits too, apparently, because not everyone saw that ghost.

Kinstones are fucking weird - they make doorways open, repair fallen trees, create chests, summon ladders, AND OPEN PORTALS? They can also create Golden enemies.

Golden enemies are extra hard to kill like in BOTW and they also drop a lot of extra loot. I guess all those Golden enemies in BOTW were spawned from Kinstones too???

He has a Grip Ring which helps him climb and his cap can be used like a paraglider. Why does no one ever address this?

Four also has Remote Bombs - a Minish inventor living in a mushroom gave them to him.

Can use his ocarnia to summon a tiny bird named Zeffa to carry him around. Normal-Sized Four can be carried by a little bird.

Din, Nayru and Farore exist in his time. Din is from Holodrum and is a dancer while Nayru is an oracle who comes from Labryanna. Are these the same from Legend's time? Who knows - certainly not the timeline

Vaati was a minish. He was Ezlos apprentice.

Ezlo is a super talented Minish. He made a cap that grants the wishes of those who wear it. He literally made his own triforce.

Hilariously, Zelda is a shoe lover. She is the shoemakers main source of income. That's canon. This princess has a closet full of shoes.

Four has fused Kinstones with mysterious walls. Yes, I said walls. Don't ask me how that works.

He also fuses kinstones with clouds. Literal clouds. This kid is crazy.

Town Picori apparently live in town because they really, really like humans. They used to be Forest Minish but they moved to be closer to the humans 🥺

Mountain Minish are not native to the mountain. There are only eight Minish on Mt. Crenel and seven of them are students who chose to follow their master, Melari, when he moved.

Apparently Gorons are in short supply during Four's era. They used to live on Mt. Crenel but now they live in a cave because there are so few of them. What happened to them?

Clouds are solid? Four walks on them. They aren't floating platforms or anything - it's just straight cloud. Idk man.

All kids in Hyrule go to the school in Hyrule Town, including Zelda and Link. Yes, Zelda actually attended a public school. Elementary school fic anyone?

Acrobandits. There's not much to them I just like to mention them whenever I can. They're little bandit ducks who stack on top of eachother, what's not to love?

Grandpa Smith and King Daltus (Zeldas Father) have a history. Both of them were talented swordsmen back in the day. They were friends and rivals. They even faced each other in the Picori Festival Swordfighting Tournament me year and eventually fought to a draw.

Zelda and Four are confirmed to have met through their father and grandfather. They are second generation friends.

Zelda is kind of a badass. In the beginning of the game Vaati wins the swordfighting tournament and the thus the right to approach a magically sealed chest with all of Hyrule's evil trapped inside. When he announces his evil intentions to open it the guards try to stop him. He attacks, blowing back the King and all of the Guards. Then he tries to approach the chest. But Dot, instead of fleeing, summons her magic ability and actually squares up like she's going to fight him. In the cutscene she actually approaches him like she and Vaati are in that Jojo Walking Meme. It's great and I love her.

This game has a bad ending. In the leadup to the final battle against Vaati, Four has to fight his way up the castle before a bell chimes three times. There is no visible counter or timer but you can actually take too long. If you do, then the bell chimes a final time and you get a small cutscene of Vaati taking Dot's lightforce. So there is actually a way to lose this game without dying.

The Lightforce. There is no triforce in this game. The Lightforce is a magical energy that was gifted to the Royal Family by Minish. There is no real description of what it is other than pure magical energy.

Two out of the five dungeons Four goes through are Minish sized. The Temple of Droplets and the Forest Temple. The Bosses are a single octorok and one (1) Chu, respectively. Do what you will with that information.

For the first part of the game Four uses Smith's Sword, the sword made by his grandfather, until he exchanges it for the White Sword, which he eventually forges into the Four Sword.

The Four Sword can break curses. Everyone in the castle gets turned into stone and Four saves them all by charging up his sword and hitting them with a sword beam.

Anyone in Four's Era can just buy a pair of Pegasus boot. They aren't dungeon items. (Zelda definitely has a pair)

There are Minish-sized on/off switches in a lot of the machine-based enemies in Four's era. Upon realizing this I now have more questions than answers.

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu four #lu dot #there’s more but I figured this was enough lol #the little canon stuff is so cute #I love Minish cap #and all it’s weird shit #it’s surprisingly rich in lore #and the statues you can buy with mysterious shells really fill out the world with descriptions on the townsfolk

[linked-universe-fic-finder]

heya, Fic-Finders! You guys are really helpful and it’s really cool you guys are doing this! And because I’m nosey and curious, do you guys have a favourite fic that you want to share? :)

Ok! Since Mint already did this (Mod Mint’s favorite fics here) I'll tell you my favorite fic list!

Though idk why you need me to give you a tour of Anthem's Ao3 page /j

Intermission by anthemXIX - Pre Lu Wild and Twilight being best friends and this fic is def my favorite!! T fic depicts a friendship that looks a lot like the way I express platonic love and it's just amazing!! Pure brotherly fluffy goodness!

Crumble by anthemXIX - *sobbing* Major character death!! Everything hurts and I'm suffering!! I've cried every time I read this!! The mystery is part of the emotional gut-punch of this fic, so I don't wanna give anything away, but it's from Warrior's pov as he and the chain mourns.

Uncivilized by anthemXIX - Wild deals with the pain of not being able to fit in, Warriors makes shampoo, and Twilight washes his little brother's hair. This fic makes me feel feelings, my soulllll

The rest of my favorites <3 <3

Betrayed…. Trust? by HeroineOfTwilight - Warriors learns to trust the chain. Short fic but it's my favorite Warrior's fic, and my second favorite Lu fic period. Just!!! It's so good, Warriors my beloved.

Iconoclasm by CrimsonRavioli - I think mod Mint has recommended this before? Good because it's amazing!! The chain finds that a monument to Cia's obsession is still up and decides to destroy it! This is one of my favorites because of the Sky characterization omg! Love!

Decision by Ayngondaia - Twilight straight up goes feral when Wild gets knocked out, and Warriors' has to calm him down. I normally don't like wolf instincts tm fics, but Warriors testing Twilight? Twilight being terrifying? Love it!

Please Don't Come for Me by sister_dear - *squeals* Ok I found this fic because I got something like it as a prompt for secret Santa and I just loved it!! Hyrule meets the chain as a fairy with one of my favorite Warriors' characterizations!!

Secret Poison by Pan (Lucky_Cassandra) - >:D. Twilight, due to biting monsters with his mouth, slowly gets corrupted with dark magic. The chain has to deal with this. >:))

Protector of the Golden Power by Sillus - Oki, listen, I know everyone in this fandom has probably read this fic or a fic inspired by this fic but I love it ok? Hyrule has the full Triforce fic. Big angst and injury so be warned.

And those are my favorites! Sorry that this got so long 😅

Zelda 2 - Mystery of Kasuto

Yet again, with more Zelda 2 lore. Since winter break started, I went back to working on my Zelda 2 comic again (it’s been years but I’m still going at it haha). I collected a LOT of information from within the game and from other loz games. I’m at the last stages of getting all the information needed for a fully fledged story (My aim with this comic project is to flesh out the world of Hyrule in the era of decline. Make it feel like the newer Zelda games in terms of lore and plot, but also keep its’ classic essence). HOWEVER! Before I get ahead with outlining a full story, there is one thing that needs to be sorted out. that is, Kasuto Town. Deciding on Kasuto town’s identity will entirely change the aesthetic of the story, how the people will be represented, and even the lore of the Zelda2 pre-story (sleep-cursed Princess Zelda) I’ve spent a while collecting evidence and clues for my theory. I was not sure if I should go ahead with it and solidify it for the comic, so I want to share it and hear what opinions, additions, or contradictions any of you would have. I’m very interested to hear what you have to say on it! Anyways, without further ado, here is the theory:

The basic idea is that Kasuto People are Sheikah. (Disclaimer: This is just a theory and entirely speculative. The aim to try to make sense of Kasuto town with the established canon information we know and fit it to the wider loz world.)

1. Location of Kasuto Town

There are two Kasuto towns. A deserted Kasuto, and a hidden Kasuto.

From what we know of the Sheikah history leading to the downfall timeline, is that The Hyrulean Civil War (Pre-OOT) nearly wiped out all of the Sheikah population. Kakariko was their original settlement, but has since been opened to everyone. So, where did all the Sheikah go? Only Impa is around. WELL, perhaps since the events of the civil war, they decided to take residence far away from Hyrule Castle, and only send their most capable every generation to care for the Princess (Which is always the new Impa). Impa always shows up again as a nursemaid for Princess Zelda in the downfall timeline.

Additionally, as protectors of The Royal Family, it works out how their town is situated next to the entrance to the Great Palace, where the final Triforce is kept (To keep an extra eye on who ventures there?).

Not entirely sure why Kasuto was destroyed. Did Ganon know about the Triforce of Courage being around there? Did he attack them with an army of Moas while they fought to keep him away? This might have led them to go into hiding. They are the only ones who know all the secrets of Hyrule. They need to survive in order to preserve it.

2. Magic

There are two spells taught in the Kasuto towns. One of them makes a small temple (shrine?) come out of the ground. The other spell is the strongest spell in the entire game (thunder).

^ This is the building that emerges from deep underground after using the ‘Spell’. (He finds the magic key there. A key that can open pretty much every door ever. Or at least the palace doors). What IS strange about Kasuto though, is that the palace situated between the towns has an item that acts almost exactly like the Lens of Truth; It’s a cross that allows Link to see ghosts. (In OOT it does the same thing, in addition to looking through false doors and floors. It’s used to track down the Phantom guide in the haunted wasteland). A little suspicious, no? (PS. I’ve been thinking about redesigning the cross item for the comic, and I SWEAR the three parts at the top can easily be made to look like the Sheikah eyelash symbol. Voila) This could all merely be coincidence, but the location next to the Great Palace AND the three-eye-rock palace containing the cross is convenient to make us assume it’s connected to them in some way, especially with the later established lore of the Sheikah.

3. Technology

Ok. bear with me. This is a big one. This will be the game changer. If we can solidify that these Sheikah are just as technologically advanced as the Sheikah in botw, this will completely change how they could be interpreted in the comic.

For starters, only the Sheikah know the details of the legend of Zelda. And here I quote from the Zelda 2 1988 manual:

“There was a door in the North Castle called “The door that does not open.” Only the descendants of the Impa family who served the King knew how to open the door.”

As we could see, access to the chamber and scrolls that provide information on the palaces and Triforce is only accessible to the Sheikah. A private affair between the royal family and Sheikah ONLY? The King that separated the Triforce is the one that was in-charge of building all 7 palaces. Because the Sheikah work closely with the Royal Family, they must be 100% involved (Also, remember how Kasuto town has the magical key that can open all doors in the palaces?) OKAY NOW HERE IS THE TECHNOLOGY PART The elevators. The Elevators.

For the longest time I told myself it must be some kind of pully system. But after I started thinking about Kasuto as being Sheikah, and their heavy involvement with the palaces, I’m starting to think that maybe these are actually electrical (or magical. idk what it is) powered elevators. Sort of like in Breath of the Wild. There is also Rebonack, the Island palace boss with his floating robot horse

Maybe.... Maybe the ironknuckles and doomknockers are also robots? For all we know, they are just heavily armored... things. With no face. We know construction on the palaces must have begun sometime at the end of the Golden Era. That was the time when the Royal Family possessed the full Triforce for countless generations. It was the most prosperous Hyrule has EVER been (in the downfall timeline at least). The Sheikah might have had the time to advance their technology? It’s not too far fetched. After such a long time of prosperity, the King found that there was no one worthy of the full Triforce to continue this golden age (He was scared of his wicked son it seems) so he started this whole project to hide away the Triforce of courage.

(It’s interesting in a way how that King saw that the chaos caused by a separated Triforce is much merciful than the consequences of the full Triforce falling into the wrong hands. It mirrors Princess Zelda’s decision when she broke the Triforce of wisdom into 8 pieces so Ganon can’t have it. She really is wise for a small child. As wise as the ancient king.) Well, what are your thoughts? Would it be plausible that the people at Kasuto are truly the Sheikah? Is it possible that the palaces have technology? This is pretty crucial for the development of this comic project 👀 It will completely change how the palaces will be portrayed, the enemies, and the entire Kasuto settlements (plus if Impa is affiliated with them). WOULD you be fine with such an interpretation? SHARE YOUR THROUGHTS!

#zelda2 #long post #zelda2 lore #I'm pretty hyped about this haha #I've been kinda in the shadows about this project BUT I decided I might be ready to tackle a comic #the past year I did some multi-page comics #so that was great practice #I think I'm ready to REALLY start delving into this one #a multi-chapter and multi-volume comic. fun #mmmm #I'm flipping this whole game.

[furbygoblinxiv]

I played Ocarina of Time for the first time shortly before Christmas, and lemme tell yall it made me go feral. It single handedly kick started my Zelda obsession I thought I got over in like middle school. 

tldr i enjoyed it and will probs post more art from it soon

And I like drawing link w wavy and long hair bc who tf is gonna brush or cut this 11 year old's hair while hes zooming around?? Navi? All she can do is complain about it, she can’t even hold scissors. Saria’s sitting in the spirit realm like “please link just cut your hair” and he pretends he didn’t hear anything.

 Some random thoughts I had on this wonderful game that I wanna ramble about (warning this is LONG but that's bc I liked the game lol spoilers): 

-Best fights imo were dark link and the iron knuckles, and the best dungeons were the 2 in kakariko tho idk if the well counts as a full dungeon. Those 2 fights were alot of fun bc it really felt like I set the pace of the battle, like my strategies of using a big hammer or making them hit pillars were making me a better hero. I really liked the tone of the kakariko dungeons for showing how, outside of the whole ganon business, hyrule exists and has its own, very human(?) conflicts. Really made me think. And also really made me horrified bc the redeads scared me. Tbh all the dungeons really surprised me with how unique/ region relevant the architecture was, Idk why but i was expecting them all to just be like. Stone dungeons. But the variety was beautiful.

-speaking of kakariko, did the hylians legit wipe out the sheikah??? and if so then why was impa so willing to serve the royal family that helped kill her people.

-I know people found Navi annoying, but I actually found her cute and quite helpful? Out of context she gives helpful enemy tips and reminders for when I’ve forgot what I’m doing, and in context she’s the only person who stays by link’s side for his entire journey. Also I thought Ruto, while annoying, was cute, simply bc her adorable voice made me feel bad about throwing her around lol.

-I went in without spoilers so the extent of what I knew were like. Gamer Guy Jokes from like 2014, which painted Link as a really annoying and cynical Dude Bro. Instead, he’s a really tragic character. He was a child forced to watch his only parental figure, the Great Deku Tree, die, then was immediately forced out of the only world he has known in order to save the world from the force that killed him. From there, like barely after getting a grip on the world outside the forest, he’s forced to wake up in the body of an adult in a hyrule of ruin. Poor guy went from confused to then watching how the entire world aged around him while his mind didn’t. Despite this, he still saves the world. And like I get that its a kids adventure game, and that he was always going to save hyrule and wasn't gonna give up from pressure or anything, but its fun to read into things ok lol. 

-despite not knowing many spoilers, I did know that Zelda was Sheik, so that reveal didn’t shock me. What did shock me, however, was what Ganondorf said immediately after yoinking her. The idea that there was an ingame reason the boss never made legit attempts to kill me outside of the dungeons? The idea that I was being used as bait to lure out the princess he knew was in hiding? How that WORKED?!? I was shook. I had to put the game down yall.

-I love how magical Link is in the game. Like he has the various goddess blessings which are explicit magic, he’s the only hylian to explore the lost woods without losing himself (arguably this one is Saria’s protection), and the ocarina acts as the vessel that allows him to change time and teleport. It really makes me wish more than like 4 Zelda games had magic and music intermingled as a key element. It also adds “magic” to the “reasons why link is a cryptid” list.

-I also like how there's backstory given to the triforce and how the goddess triad is referenced in almost all the games in terms of region names (Farore and the Faron woods?? Wild)

-I found all the small jokes about Link’s confusion in terms of like facial expressions and text to be hilarious. Ruto was like “we’re betrothed now!” and this poor kid was like “idk what that means but I got the rock I wanted”. Also the fact that Nintendo intentionally put the “did you understand” option as the 2nd one when the owl did his exposition speeches” Actual comedy, like I read those but I feel bad for the poor fools who just wanted to hit things and not read.

-Idek if anyone is even reading this at this point, but if you did and you played the game, were the kokiri intentionally supposed to look like Link? all of them are his height, body type, and skin color, and they all have straight blond hair (the boys also have bangs like he does) and blue eyes. The only exception is Saria. Like I just assumed that the Great Deku Tree made them look similar to Link so he would feel more welcomed/raised by them, and he died before he managed to return the kokiri to whatever their natural form was? idk

-So if this lore like vaguely carries over to later games in their “official (lmao)” timeline, then I'm assuming some world building stuff gets translated to breath of the wild (like. The divine beasts. Ruta, like ruto the zora. Rudania, like Darunia the goron. Naboris, like Nabooru the gerudo. Medoh, like medli the rito. The only in universe explanation for this would be if the legends from the earlier time got passed down to the Old Sheikah ppl, aka the world building stuff lowkey applies). If this were the case, then how come in Ocarina Link got a pass just for like beating them in battle, but botw has link literally saving their entire civilization and freeing the spirit of their legendary champion and yet he still has to cross-dress? I love the vai armour but thats sus 

-My only gripes were I didn’t like how linear it was in terms of temple progression (although I completely understand why that was done). Smaller gripes I had all can be concluded by limitations of the medium/tech at the time. The non plot characters felt pointless/1 dimensional, while the architecture is region specific, the armour for those regions is all hylian style, and overall the game felt...small? Itd feel bigger if I could ride epona in more than one area, but when I wanna zoom around on my horse and only have one set area to do it? Sad.

Overall it was a very fun game that I highly enjoyed playing

#idk i have alot of thoughts and feelings about this game #While botw is still my no1 i can really see why people called this the best zelda game #also i should probably clarify that i played majoras mask before this game rip #and twilight princess before that so like im really just doing the whole timeline backwards #ocarina of time #the legend of zelda #link #If a super long oot fic shows up in the near future on ao3 assume its me and that I've just completely lost it #like this and rereading my old hyrule historia have really been making my 2 braincells go hmmmm zelda #personal museum of older creations

Smith used to be an adventurer who traveled far and wide until Link was born. Smith dropped everything and made a stable job as a swordsmith to raise Link. This wasn’t his first time rearing a child, but it was his first time doing it alone. At times when Smith had a large order to fulfill in his job, he’d leave Link with his friend, King Daltus, and Princess Zelda to be looked after. Daltus became like an uncle to Link because of this and Zelda, of course, his longtime best friend forever~ uvu

PHOBIAS.  automatonophobia -- a fear of statues, mostly. a ‘lifelike’ inanimate object that he could perceive as being once alive but frozen. atychiphobia -- fear of failure

SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL.  he tends to doubt himself; it’s mistaken for ‘humbleness’ VULNERABILITIES. in other words weaknesses? strike his friends and family first. he will sacrifice himself and his own well-being for their safety.

will i ever be a successful writer/artist of any kind? how can i achieve that?

daisies: what is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

being able to be grateful and enjoy small things in life even if i feel like i’m at the peak of my dysthymia (lol)

1975: what is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise?

a very random day i’m not sure why it got stuck on my head some +5 years ago when it was raining and i was outside my house, throwing lemons of my lemon tree towards the neighbors’ houses lmao

matte: if you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living?

totally, i would start writing full time and maybe planning on doing some small trips before it

black nail polish: do you have a bucket list? if so, what are the top three things?

-visiting a foreign country (japan would be my dream)-publishing a work (either a book or a photograph in a prestigious place)-be truly in love and loved back

pantone: describe a person close to your life in detail.

-she’s the only one who knows in EXPLICIT detail how my sublimation mechanism works, the biggest of my weakness, what makes me feel shame the most….. a college friend of mine, intellectually clever, emotionally not so much, shares big passion for the same EROS subject

moodboard: do you feel you had a happy childhood?

-i can’t complain about it, i remember good things mostly, i still went outside and played but also enjoyed video games and cartoons; i was a loner but never felt lonely, my imagination compensated alla that

stars: when did you last cry in front of another person?

-in the first days of the year in front of my parents lol i was so done with everything

plants: pick a person to stargaze with you and explain why you picked them.

-i’d choose my father cause he surely would tell me some good stories or about the myths…..

-that’s literally what going to therapy almost is lmao jks that’s not therapy well i think if i could feel reciprocated, i would

-it would depend on a lot of things, honestly

cactus: what is your opinion on brown eyes?

-cute and it doesn’t give me the creeps to stare at directly, lmao (eyes too light give me anxiety to hold visual contact with)

sunrise: pick a quote and describe what it means to you personally.

“A Hero must struggle!” how can you know a Hero is a Hero without trouble though? isn’t life made out of trials? A Hero must not be just a muscular, strong figure who makes physical tasks, it also speaks of mental and intern fights too..... I wrote a whole paper on this and would surely write more about it

oil paints: what would you title the autobiography of your life so far?

-1000 reasons why thinking everything will solve by itself later is a lie and a bad idea

overalls: what would you do with one billion dollars?

-find another place to live with my family; travel. a fucking lot. but first, give my parents what they need to solve some financial and health issues. donate to environment protection orgs, buy shittons of gaming and anime merch like the hopeless half-arsed grown adult i am

combat boots: are you a very forgiving person? do you like being this way?

-I can forgive anyone but it takes some time. I like being like that, everything that hurts me i sublimate later through my writings, so even that displeasure, has a /creative/ function in my life

winged eyeliner: write a hundred word letter to your twelve year old self.-bitchyou’re dumb as hell, but wise as fuck. you don’t give three fucks about time,enjoy it while you can. you may have encountered yourself with people who tryto hurt you, mess with you and you feel bad about yourself, but it’s not yourfault in the slightest, nor they are right. never allow them to be in controlof YOUR emotions. you need to stand for yourself and yourself only, you don’tneed to prove shit to no one.

tattoos: how do you feel about tattoos and piercings? explain

piercings aren’t really my thing but I like tattoos (not hardcore-like tho), I’ve think of getting one but I get overwhelmed and my mom would kill me lol (if my siblings agreed on getting a small Triforce tattoo and each of us pick one part /i’d pick wisdom tho/, i’d be more than happy to get it done) 

piercings: do you wear a lot of makeup? why/why not?

I used to wear mascara (but i caught an eye infection, lol), now i just do the basics: powder and lipstick.

bands: talk about a song/band/lyric that has affected your life in some way.

uhm….. i owe led zeppelin a lot because it supported me thru the worst of my first major depressive episode, and i have a thing with Pink Floyd The Wall….. I used to listen it on repeat thru the last straw of it, so it naturally makes me feel depressive and somewhat suicidal ???? but just in thought….. I can’t listen to Dark Side of the Moon because I feel useless as well lol

messy bun: the world is listening. pick one sentence you would tell them.

we need to stop being arrogant, selfish and stupid enough to think everything is here to serve us; we can’t dissociate ourselves from nature and the environment as if we were self-sufficient.

oh now this is sad lol

white bed sheets: what is your night time routine?

i set /most of times/ my stuff for the next day, uniform; i eat/drink something and put a glass of water beside my bed, wear my pajamas, pray a little for the people i love, or render thanks for stuff, and think of my stories or some gay shit before till i fall asleep (if i’m lucky enough, i get to dream of it as well)

old books: what’s one thing you don’t want your parents to know?

-same as u fam @electroma89, I want my parents to know my interest in writing and such, just like my father does buuuuuuuuuuut the topics of my interest i doubt they’ll understand and it’s a total wild card trying to guess how they would react like

beaches: if you had to dye your hair how would you dye/style it and why?

have u seen MCU’s Gamora? that’s how I’d wear my hair

eyes: pick five people to go on an excursion with you. who would you pick and where would you go/what would you do?

-uh….. lol idk, i’ve always have wanted to go to somewhere quiet and watch the stars

11:11: name three wishes and why you wish for them.

-Peace and Love on Planet Earth….. is there anything that’s worth more?-having self discipline….. i swear to Hylia lots of my problems could be avoided that way-meet someone who loves me and i can love back….. my life has placed me in the worst places to know people, i swear…..

painting: what is the best halloween costume you have ever put together? if none, make one up.

love: have you ever fallen in love? describe what it feels like to realise you’re in love.

-i’ve never been, i’ve been infatuated, but in love? as in love for real? i don’t think so

clouds: if you’re a boy, would you ever rock black nail polish? if you’re a girl, would you ever rock really really short hair?
