So I’ve been playing Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and the moment I realized you could fuse a shield to a Zonai cart and essentially skateboard I had to draw this!
Hope you enjoy this silly drawing, and have an AWESOME day!!!

The Chain go shield surfing and it goes about as well as one could expect. Wild teaches everyone the basics. Twilight and Warriors are naturals. Both have balanced and controlled their spinning top weapons, a shield and gravity is nothing. Wind may not be the best, but what he lacks in skill he makes up for in enthusiasm. Poor Time gets a dizzy fast and has poor depth perception…he ran into a tree and multiple rocks. Legend gets competitive and while he won’t admit it, he’s a little upset that he can’t figure out how to go faster. Four is mildly upset at how many shield they break in the process, but he does have fun sliding down hills on a shield. It reminds him of being a Minish. Did Hyrule add a spell to jump a canyon? Maybe. You can’t prove he isn’t just that good at shield surfing though. And Sky… Sky has taken to the sport like a fish to water. This boy has a need for speed and is good at quick turns. “It’s like flying but on land.”

I have no clue if someone else has done something like this yet, but this hit me while I was at work yesterday. From the TikTok video: “I can’t slow down!”, “Earl!”.
Wild has taught Hyrule to shield surf, but he can’t slow down. Poor Wars doesn’t know what just happened.

New Linked Universe fic is up! This makes part 2 of my new "The More Things Change" series (prior reading not required).
This time around, we get to compare Wild's shield surfing skills and Twilight's snowboarding skills! Of all things to follow over to botw, the shield surfing was a surprise. I also wasn't expecting to find Snowpeak Ruins hiding in botw!
I don't think it's coincidence. Mini-theory incoming. Breath has always been really subtle about what locations from past games exist. Players recognized that Selmie's Spot, the shield surfing spot on top of Hebra Mountains, was a callback to Twilight Princess's old snowboarding mini game, where you can race a pair of yetis to their manor. Here's the layout of the routes:

The star marks on the botw map is what I imagine would be most like this path. The finish line for Selmie's race is in Sturnida Basin. And above this basin, there's a series of cliffs leading up to a large, flat area.

The angle is a bit different, but it seriously feels like there's supposed to be a bridge crossing the cliffs between the monster camp. And behind that is another big, flat area with a giant korok rock puzzle, as if the game is telling you that something used to be here. Am I reaching? Possibly! But Snowpeak was one of my favorite places in my favorite Zelda game, and I think I found it.
So I made a fic about it. And a theory. Because I didn't think there was anything left to discover in botw after six years.

The Goldwing Club has an unfortunate encounter with Marina, the desert thief and stole Leaf’s shield!
Tumblr media
I really wanted to draw Marina again, but also have my other characters show up cuz I missed them, I definitely love having Leaf and Marina interact!

*sound on*
I’m sorry but the sounds link makes while shield surfing??? He sounds happy!!! He laughs and makes sounds of obvious enjoyment! I’m so happy for him… it shows signs of recovery that he can find such joy in simple pleasures (other than food) Such a cute detail :)

I was thinking about this half the day today: so you remember shield surfing in BOTW, right? And TOTK is gonna have rail grinding. And there's those big jet things. So what I'm thinking is, if they'll let me stick a jet on a shield, I'm building a hoverboard and riding down the rails while singing, "Ride through gravity, just ride through what Earth planned!"

TP Link really is the guy ever.
My man‘s a goofy horse girl who loves goats, sumo wrestles gorons, makes soup for Yetis, collects insects for a girl roleplaying princess parties and holds dogs and cats like puppies, yet almost the entire fandom makes him a brooding edgelord because the color palette of the game is kinda muted and he‘s technically a werewolf.
You can howl songs in this game and he always does a little spin at the end. He plays hide and seek with a town full of cats. He lives in a treehouse and has pictures of goats framed on the walls. You can pet the goats and play fetch with the castle town doggies. He‘s so happy over a cave full of pots to break that they placed the "Happy Link“ Miiverse stamp in said cave. He loves to go shopping in Castle Town. He sticks lit bombs onto arrows to shoot them, and somehow makes it work. He carried a whole barrel of water across half the country with his hands because a Goron was sweating. He sumo wrestles goats, too. He’s a bit of a show-off. If you do any of the sick sword moves he learnt from his dead skeleton gramps and press a, he does a fancy sword sheathing move with a smirk because he feels so cool. He likes to scare the castle town guards as a wolf. He befriends a chicken lady and her flying head son via dungeoncrawling. He set a building full of bombs on fire because of a bug inside. He’s got literal puppy eyes. He let himself get shot off a canon, twice. And got carried away by a giant monster bird, also twice. One of those times was for a minigame where you collect fruit. He eats bee larvae and jello from the ground. He goes snowboarding with the Yetis on a frozen leaf. That he obtains by rolling headfirst into a tree. He shows kindness to strangers as helps out his companion way past what she asked of him even when she was pretty mean because he knows it’s the right thing to do. He defeats the personification of a dead gods‘ anger with a fishing rod he got from his adoptive little bro who wants to be just like him.
TP Link is the guy ever.

One of my favourite small things about totk is because of the amount of traversal abilities link has, they can really afford to lean into the set design more.
Like, other games, you can only mimic crawling over rubble and squeezing through gaps. If you want to get in and out of a hole you need ivy to climb, or stairs, or some sort of transport mechanic. If you want a boss arena you need a clear, delineated space unless you specifically make the boss work with the environment.
In totk, you can be like 'screw it. Here's a 50m hole in the ground. Sheer walls. No floor that isn't malice. There's a boss that moves faster than you can run or climb. Have fun' and the players will be able to!
You don't need cleverly designed paths and suspension of disbelief switches and levers and ivy when you can straight up make the environment whatever you want and know the players will still be able to traverse it with a bit of elbow grease.
Heck, now you can make long, winding tunnels with dead ends and people don't have to backtrack! You can lay huge traps and not have to worry about how they'll make it out! Up through the ceiling they go!
A bridge can be actually broken. A wall can be actually collapsed. A door can be actually locked from the other side without some secret entrance. A floating island no one's ever been able to reach is now actually out of reach rather than just conveniently having a cannon unknowingly pointed directly at it lol.
In totk you can make your own way. It feels good to work through puzzles and move paths into place, but it also feels good to cackle and shoot yourself over a chasm with a handmade rocket you built earlier.
