[comixandco]

The four Sages were called back into the past by Terrako and they remember it happening

Tulin got to meet his hero, Revali, and decided to be just like him, adopting his idol’s brash personality and drive. He practises Revali’s Gale and eventually comes up with his own way to show off his mastery of wind, and when trouble hits his home he rushes to fix it on his own to prove how strong he has become and because, like Revali, he can’t stand idly by while he knows there’s still things he can do.

For Yunobo, when he goes back and meets his ancestor Daruk, he is a very timid and reactive Goron. He needs a push from others to come up with ideas and carry plans through, and when bad things happen to him his first instinct is to use his fire magic as a shield, to wait until the threat has passed by or somebody else has come to save him. But when he is sent back in time to Divine Beast vah Rudania, for the first time he has to be the one doing the saving. Daruk encourages Yunobo and is proud of him from the moment they meet, and it’s this support that gives Yunobo the confidence to help fight against Calamity Ganon, and to start YunoboCo when he gets home.

For Sidon, meeting his family from 100 years ago is bittersweet. He is proud that he was able to protect his sister, and it’s a comfort to know there is a version of him who will grow up alongside Mipha because of his bravery and fighting prowess. But as much joy as he got from seeing her, hugging her, and hearing her voice again, it just reminds him of how unfair her death was, of just how young she was when she died and how he is now older even though he’s the younger sibling. And at the end of the war, when he’s returned to their original time, he has to readjust to her absence all over again, and in light of that is it really a shock he’d have her statue moved further away from his home? And it also explains why he’s so desperate to protect Yona from the sludge.

Riju in AoC still a new ruler to her people, despite her accomplishments in BotW, she still feels guilty over the temporary loss of the Thunder Helm and isn’t sure if she can lead the Gerudo. She has a lot of confidence but is quick to falter when things go wrong. Urbosa treats Riju as a capable fighter despite her young age, and teaches her that she should never give up, to keep trying even when her resolve falters. There is always something you can do, even when it’s just stalling for time until help can arrive. Urbosa guides her in mastering the Thunderhelm, and possibly begins teaching her to summon lightning herself after Kohga attempts to steal it, and at the end of their time together Urbosa tells Riju she’s certain she’ll lead the Gerudo well. Riju treasured her time being mentored by Urbosa so much that she considers what Urbosa would do during the Upheaval in her diary in TotK.

I think the entire reason Tulin was added to the DLC was because the TotK team had already decided that Tulin was going to be the Sage of Wind, and that since the other sages were going to meet their Champions Tulin had to as well.

At some point in the years between Botw and TotK Teba, Tulin, Sidon, Yunobo, Riju and Patricia were summoned back in time by Terrako to aid the Champions during the Calamity, and even though those events took place in a parallel timeline and had no bearing on the world they returned to, the Sages’ personalities at the beginning of TotK are because of their experiences during the Calamity and the bonds they made with the Champions.

[nerdy-toast]

“Revali would hate kids” stfu, Dadvali be upon ye.

He literally doesnt hate kids if yall read his diary or see how he treats Tulin in AoC, shut up.

Anyway, making a future au for him and Mel, this is their daughter, Aria!

Revali is her biological dad, but Mel isnt the mom (cuz she isnt a Rito) think of like a surrogate egg?? But i was sad Revali didnt have any descendants (especially tied to the Sage) so when him and Mel want ti start a family, a Rito woman (another character im gonna have to make) helps and she is a Sage descendant, so when Aria hatches she is also a Sage descendant but also Revali’s blood kid, she later becomes the ancestor for Teba and Tulin. Still working on everything but :(( it sucks Revali “was just some bird who was good with a bow and made his gale” with no one left alive related to him.

(This follows the AoC timeline but still)

Revali writing in his diary while watching Link train on a dummy, glaring: I hate him.

Taking down a Moblin and Link watching with interest, Revali giving a smug little shit grin before nearly getting crushed by a Hinox and dodging out of the way in the nick of time then glaring in Link’s direction: I hate him.

Tackling Link out of the way of a monster attack: I hate him.

Flying beside Link from the Sheikah tower to a new mission: I hate him.

Grumpily pouting while Link bandages his wounds: I hate him.

Saying it was better that Link was there to fight Windblight alongside him and Teba: I hate him.

Link hugging him from behind: I hate him.

Link cooking for the Champions and smiling with a mushroom skewer in hand, Revali looking at his smile: I hate him.

Cheering Link on as he delivers the final blow to Ganon: I hate him.

Sleeping with Link in a hammock: I hate him.

Link rolls over, face peaceful and adorable. Revali is entranced: Well… maybe I’ve been wrong before.

Feathers fluff up, messing up his plumage, now very pissy: Nope, I hate him.

BOTW Revali HCs

Here's some headcanons cuz I miss sassy bird man. WHO AM I KIDDING?! I LOVE THIS BIRD MAN MOM, I LOVE HIM- 😩😭😢🥺

He's an orphan.

Or maybe he had parents but something bad happened to them when he was a fledgling, bcuz I don't like the idea of them abandoning Revali :,(

(If that were the case, then it was a canon event 💀)

Has a real soft spot for kids.

(THIS IS CANON, DON'T @ ME, GO WATCH AOC CUTSCENES)

(THE GRIP THOSE CUTSCENES HAVE ON ME GURL I-)

(TEBA AND REVALI IN THE SAME FRAME 🥵😩💦🫦)

He literally made the Flight Range public for the kids, who looked up to him and wanted to train to be like him......GURL, I'M UGLY CRYING AND SCREAMING- (This is in his diary btw)

(HE'S A NICE MAN. PERIODT.)

HIGHKEY CRINGES when a kid does something cringe or stupid, but he's nice enough to not say a single word to them. (BESTIE SAME)

He learned how to use the bow on his own, no instructor nor teacher taugh him.

Sometimes he feels like there's an empty hole in his heart🥺🥺🥺 (Shh don't worry babygirl I gotchu 😔🙌🫶)

He tries to cover it with his sassy and mean actittude and for the same reason he proves himself to be the best and get recognition from anyone. (I think this one is pretty obvious)

Feels alone and empty when watching families and couples on the village and doesn't exteriories it. :,,,,,,(

When he was given Vah Medoh, he used it as a safe and comfort place.

(It's literal written in his diary, it said Revali flied to Vah Medoh for solace after his encounter with Link who didn't gave a single thought about Revali's skills, no hate intented for link tho)

I love the fact he doesn't care about titles, if you're strong you show it, referring to ones strenght doesn't come from a label but from their capabilities and prowess.

Idk if any of you guys knew it, cuz i didn't til recently, that in that one cutscene in BOTW, where we first "met" Revali, he used his Gale to impress link and did it despite knowing there was a great possibility of failure since it was brand new. This only tells me he would do ABSOLUTE ANYTHING to get a reaction out of someone how's have captive his interest.

That's it for the night, it's 1:30am and I should probably go to sleep. Maybe I'll do a part 2.

Age of calamity is an everybody lives Nobody dies AU written and thought Up by none other than Link himself.

This explains why everyone is way Out of character and kinda one dimensional. For the champions Link has like one memory of each of them.

Zelda's struggle in aoc is the exact Same one as shown in the memories. None of the characters really get expanded on.

Impa looks Just Like Paya (probably what Link imagines her looking Like when she was younger).

Master Kogah is there, even though there's no way he's this old (/no way He was alive 100 years ago).

Link's friends from the present (Sidon, riju, yunobo, teba) make an appearance and save the day.

Rhoam gets His chance to apologize to Zelda and she forgives him immediately immediately (-> Link read in His diary that He wanted to)

The time travel plot doesnt make any Sense but thats okay

So in short, Link got bored one day on His travels and wrote this. Sadly he's Not the best Story teller.

#age of calamity #headcanon #fan theory #? #i dont like age of calamity very much can you tell? #this thought is kinda funny tho imo #zelda

Revalink Week: Bonus Day (TOTK)

Originally I wasn't going to write anything for this. I'd been doing my best to avoid spoilers and didn't want to so much as see the last trailer. (Most things I know about TOTK are against my will, lol.)

Alas, I got spoiled for one thing. So I wrote a very short fic during a 15 minute train journey 3 weeks ago and haven't touched it since.

Spoiler-tagged to help with blocklists, and in case this slips past your blocklist, full story is under the cut out of courtesy:

Characters: Link, Tulin. (Other characters mentioned, alluded to, or spoken around.)

--

“Do you think he’d be proud of me?”

“…Teba?” Link thought it rather more likely that he would be worried. 

“Nuh-uh. I know I can made Dad proud. Even if he doesn’t think I’m ready yet. But…”

…Ah.

It had been quite some time since Link let himself face the regrets of the past. They had, after all, wanted him and Zelda to look forward, to the future. 

“Nevermind,” Tulin said quickly, tilting his head in a grin. “It’s the village that matters. I want everyone to be safe and happy, so I’ve just gotta be strong enough to do that, right?”

With that, he darted ahead across the golden grasses, his swallow bow bobbing on his back.

Link watched him go. He thought of a diary he was never meant to read. Dreams that their architect only saw half-fulfilled. He’d been pleased to know his Flight Range still saw use, when Link told him. He’d been strangely quiet when Link mentioned how the Rito trained their sons to emulate him.

Tulin was the last successor of that lineage. Link had to make sure he returned safely home.

“…What do you think,” he murmured to the winds. They seemed to curl around him, the smallest whisper of a reply where once he’d felt fierce columns swirl. “I think you would’ve approved. …right?”

The winds slipped away into silence.

[illusion-of-death]

All right, I'll throw in an ask. Partly for Carry Me From These Walls, partly for your BotW fic as a whole.

So you have Daruk and Urbosa - and to a lesser extent Teba - as the Adults of the group. Ostensibly responsible and worrying over their charges, yet sharing a chaotic energy that's kept slightly secret.

It's a fun dichotomy. Which elements of that pair are most fun for you to write? And now that I've stumbled into the thought, would formally adding Other Dad Teba to the mix make them more responsible or open new avenues of chaos?

Thanks for writing these characters!

Ooo, this is a fun one!

Daruk and Urbosa's relationship is one that I really wish we'd gotten to see more of in canon—all we really know for sure comes from a line in Urbosa's DLC diary about how she and Daruk "hope to help [the other Champions] see the future." I choose to interpret that as the two of them feeling at least some responsibility for the wellbeing of the others, particularly because of their youth (something else Urbosa mentions in that same diary). So, you've got that, and you've got Urbosa's canonical love of pulling pranks on people important to her, and Daruk's own enjoyment of a little tomfoolery here and there. It makes for a really fun potential dynamic! I don't think I can really say which part of that dichotomy is my favorite to write, because I love both sides of that silly/serious coin so so much, but if you're asking what's the most entertaining for me, it's gotta be the shenanigans. CMFTW Daruk not knowing how cereal bars work and Strength of the Mountain Urbosa not realizing just how badly she's about to be victimized by the laws of physics are both standout moments for me. But I'm primarily an enjoyer of tragedy, and so those lighthearted moments really serve to make the heartbreak feel that much closer to home, and the quiet but steadfast way those two insist on supporting each other through thick and thin means more to me than I can really say as well.

To answer your second question—I honestly have no idea what adding Teba into the mix would do! If we're considering actual BotW canon, I think he's a much more serious character than either Daruk or Urbosa really make themselves out to be onscreen. (Teba was born and raised in a world ravaged by the Calamity, after all, and never knew anything else—Daruk and Urbosa were not.) If we're thinking more SMtWO canon, that dynamic would be incredibly complicated, and I think that while ultimately the three of them would get along, Teba would not participate in anything like their minecart shenanigans.

For CMFTW, though? Who knows! Teba's definitely got his ultra-serious work persona, but he's also the guy who named his D&D character after the beloved chain restaurant Kraken Barrel. And is also the adoptive father of the kid who made Ikea of Furnichar. And regularly hangs out with his very unserious students on purpose. Admittedly, I've done VERY little writing for him in CMFTW—Hope does a fantastic job with him, and might have more to contribute to this very fun thought exercise—so it's hard for me to say for sure. (Pspsps @ofstormsandfire anything to add?)

That was probably entirely more detail than you were really asking for, but also I love Daruk and Urbosa SO much and can't help myself sometimes. Thanks for asking; this was a really fun question to answer!

Still more thoughts about Tears of the Kingdom (SPOILERS! like seriously. in this one)

I love this game

So much

I had to find a guy for a quest but was like

"Im going to check out this well first"

AND BOOM HE WAS THERE

Alao the brown breakable rock break with one hit, blue with two and black with three

Seemingly

Matches the bombs it takes to break them

Tulin, whose village is dying, watching me search for pretty clothing

"Link please my family is dying Link we have to go Link"

The frostbite set is stunning

Finally a hairdo that lets Link have long hair

I hate the Sages

Not really but my god did they make their AI absolute trash

Theyre always in the way except when you need them to solve a puzzle

And if you have more than one Avatar present good luck getting the one you need

I HATE THE WIND TEMPLE BOSS

Not as much as I hated Queen Gibdo but

Why was crossing a spider and scorpion necessary

"Brave Fledgling"  what if I cried

Tulin is so good

So is this making it canon that the time 10 000 years ago was still after every other game

I dont know the timeline is weird

But if there was both Zora and Rito at the time of Rauru

This is so confusing

Ive both heard and seen Rauru sacrifice himself multiple times now can these dead Sages give me new info

Zelda my beloved

Marry me please

Also so the only other Demon King we have ever had was Demise so is Ganondorf him or after him

WHAT IS THE TIMELINE HERE

The Sage calls Tulin "my brave fledgling"

Someone call me something so loving one day

Tulin is so excited to be a Sage

He is so happy to fight alongside Link

Hes so happy to save the world

I love him

What a boy

Boys will be boys is from now on only about Tulin

WAIT IS EVEN HE TALLER THAN LINK

Shortest Hylian

I got a third ring

Bring a gerudo bow to this boss fight if you can it makes life so much easier

I havent been to Death Mountain at all yet

Done all other Temples and fully mapped Hyrule before ever going near Gorons

The extra snow melted

TEBA GAVE TULIN THE GREAT EAGLE BOW

IM CRYING

REVALI IM SO PROUD OF OUR BOY *shakes the ghost of Revali*

PSSHHH YUNOBO LOOKS DUMB AS SHIT

I HATE HIM

Was already my least favorite in BOTW

But now he is a major asshole too

Fuck that

Bastard

Im not helping him

Im gonna go blow up his company

If this guy becomes a Sage I swear

I'll drown him in Death Mountain myself

The ember headdress is probably the best headpiece in the entire game

The Ember set is genuinely the best set

Its so pretty

Im gonna go see what these look like dyed

After that beating up Yunobo

But fashion comes first

IF YOU DYE THE EMBER HEADSET IT DYES LINKS HAIR

BLUE HAIR LINK

PINK HAIR LINK

BEST DAY EVER

THE SAME GOES FOR THE FROST OUTFIT

I love Cece

She is the only person matching my love of fashion in this game

I just realised why the evil Zelda is wearing Zonai clothes

Omg

Smart

Or maybe Im dumb

"Oh Yunobo was wearing a mask making him evil" no Yunobo is just like that

This sucks I hate everything to do with Death Mountain

Worst place

I have to use the machines AND GO TO THE DEPTHS??? NOOO

Nintendo you will be hearing from my lawyers

When I die Im going to ask Rauru wtf were the Zonai doing in the depths

No because if youre going to have a cutscene and then make a second cutscene three steps further just fucking make it one cutscene

Yunobo is a "young little rock"

Left that for now

Found Champions leathers

Found Royal Guard boots??

They were in the king's study

King's diary wasnt there so like is it canon Zelda was able to read it?

Misko was a good guy actually, hiding all these clothes for me

Me, in the depths: I wonder where this strange Sheikah tower leads

The Yiga hideout in Akkala:

The only ancient sheikah tech still working is Hateno Tech Lab travel point

I spent some time in the depths and FOUND THE ANCIENT CENTRAL MINE

Fought Kohga

GOT AUTOBUILD

Finally the shrine censor

And travel medallion? You treat me so well

Already had that prototype

ALSO GETTIN SENSOR+ IMMEDIATLY

Badass feeling

Omg Robbie's compendium database is so cute

Got all three upgrades immediatly

Fully stocked purah pad

WAIT THREE TRAVEL MEDALLIONS???

BASED

MY FAVORITE MONEY MAKER IS BACK

I like to kill the hebra great game because they drop gourmet and prime meat and cooking those and they sell for a good price

Horse and bullet time

Many coins

Zelda's memories are so sad

Been giving my friends a fashion show of my favorite clothing

I am again so gay for Sonia and Zelda

My god

ZELDA

BABYGIRL

ZELDA I FORBID THIS

ZELDA YOU YOU

ZELDA

ZELDA

NO NO NO NO NO DONT

MY DEAREST ZELDA

ZELDA

Im so upset

Zelda being the light dragon is so unfair for her

She deserved happiness and freedom

Not losing her humanity and personhood

YOU CAN MAKE ELEMENTAL WHIPS

Kinky

I went into the strange thunder cloud

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

Why is it taking me into the depths

Not again

Alright Sage of Spirit

I'll make your mech suit for you

That took a while

But owl head statue

Mineru my beloved

Oh.my god this is hell

Worst part of this game so far

EASILY

DONT MAKE ME FUCKING CONTROL THIS WHEN THE CONTROLS ARE THE WORST THING EVER CONCIEVED

Im leaving this temple also undone I DONT CARE THIS FUCKING SUCKS

I hate it

Fuck this

Why do game devs come up with shitty awful bad as hell stuff to do in their games AND MAKE THAT MANDATORY

I just quit the game no lie

Fuck that

I did it and I was being dramatic, it wasnt that hard

Mineru is so goddamn gorgeous

They designed this game for me specifically

I should get back to drawing furries

Mineru holding my hand which is her brother's hand

Tears

Mineru I love her

I have not beaten Fire Temple yet

I just cant

Depths

Darkness and puzzles and fire

Also dont like Yunobo

I feel so bad for Mineru

Zelda :(

Why doesnt Link get a secret stone

RAURU WAS MINERU'S LITTLE BROTHER ::'ÖÖ

Where did Zelda's special stone come from when its a time stone and Ganon stole Sonia's time stone

Mineru I will not go get the Master Sword

Demon Ganon is hot idc

RAURU WHY WOULD YOU

Ganon: "Link. I look forward to meeting him" goes into slumber

Damn all of Rauru disintergrated but his hand

I have to find the light dragon

Eugh

The dragons dont have schedules in this apparently

Sadly

Mineru so was in love w Zelda

Everyone is putting too much weight on Link's shoulders

Fine I'll finish the fire temple

*2 hours later* I hate it here

I did scam those puzzles as much as I could

Worst puzzles

Worst boss too

Marbled gohma

Fucking awful

I nearly died about 11 times

Rip my food storages

I really need to cook more

Special stone for Yunobo booo

Little rock is adorable pet name tho

Ancestor Goron is fine af

WHY DOES NO ONE MENTION THE DIVINE BEASTS BUT YOU CAN FIND THE DIVINE BEAST HELMS AND NO ONE MENTIONS THE BEASTS

Ive heard this story four times now

Fucking hell cant we get anything new

Someone give me a 200k word fanfic where Ganon awakens but is not evil

I need Ganon Zelda Link friendship

End the cycle

Watching Brian David Gilbert and Unraveleds rn

LMAO YUNOBO'S SPECIAL STONE IS ON HIS DICK

We have established this is not a PG channel

Ok fine I like Yunobo

Daruk was better tho

Ive found most memories why cant I say anything to these people about thats not Zelda

I know Zelda is the light dragon

Running around Hyrule Castle for 'Zelda'

About to do bossfight w Ganon

Can I do a flurry rush? No

I just hit or die

Life is like that

No clever tactiques just caveman brain and trying

Evil "Zelda" is fun

Why is Ganon like one of those movie posters here

Why is he still not rehydrated

Ganon I have dick to suck hurry up

"You will not live to see another sunrise" Ganon the sun is rising rn

Woo Phantom Ganons

Fuck yeah

Lets see if I can kill them aka can I finally take on Gloom Hands (I wont)

Ganon's so arrogant

YAY MY FRIENDS ARE HERE

FUCK YEAH

I LOVE YOU ALL

MY SAGE BUDDIES

Not Lynels

Still the hardest enemy in game

Ok so if youve found Mineru and have the Master Sword already, the convo after the fake Ganon fight Purah goes "Youve already found the fifth sage? AND you have the master sword? Why didnt you say so before"

Usually youd get quests for those

It was funny

Why is the limit of horses I can have ten ::((

The Charged shirt is actually so so slutty I love it

IT GLOWS IN THUNDER STORMS

FUCK YEAH

So I finally cleared The Deku Tree's little stomach bug

And like it is so funny how easy the Gloom Hands and Phantom Ganon become when youre in late game

I was sweating about it and then it was so easy

And Im bad at combat

Ok not to brag but I killed a white lynel. First time ever. Also first time ever I killed a lynel without Urbosa's help

[needfantasticstories]

I updated the very first fanfic I ever wrote, the one that started with Swimming Lessons. It's still called TBD on AO3 because I'm still not sure where it's going other than whump and BAMF BotW Zelda.

But it WILL cameo flower lady Magda vs two Yiga... mostly offscreen, but I love her. I look forward to that.

Chapter 2 is mostly fluff, so here you are:

TBD (11662 words) by SkipBreaker Chapters: 8/?

Who is Link without the Champions and a clear mission?

Chapter 2: Sunset at Lurelin (fluff) Sunset painted the Lurelian sea and sky in brilliant pink and orange strokes. They faded slowly to deep purple and gray shadows. In some parts of Hyrule, sunsets looked too much like an ugly bruise turning yellow and purple, or a fresh wound, full of red. But here, the colors radiated across the sea and sky, and every cloud seemed alive.

“I love twilight,” Zelda sighed, “And I like it here most of all. I can see why you came here so often,” Zelda said, “to find peace. I stood with you, though you could not see me, to say goodbye to them. And yet,” she shook her head slight, “yet it is completely different with mortal eyes. Mortal…thoughts.”

He blushed. He hadn’t known she’d see quite so many of his adventures. What had she not seen?

“This was as far as I’d ever reached, and only near the end. It sort of… helped me to wake up, after so long. It’s strange to know a person so well and yet never speak until so recently. Of all the things I missed, my voice was quite high on that list,” she smiled. They both knew how she loved to fill any silence with her thoughts.

He didn’t want her to feel nervous about doing all the talking yet again.

“I did hear you, sometimes,” Link answered. It felt good to talk about it with someone who understood all that he’d seen. He didn’t have to take hours explaining things to her as he would have for so many others. Sidon, Teba, Yunobo, they understood some, but the whole… she knew the most: their regret, their loss, their hope, their journey. It was a secret language. One side-eye and one word from her could make him spit his food out, laughing. And vice versa.

“Really? Besides when you first woke up? That was quite difficult. By the end I was regaining my body. It was much easier by then.”

“Every Blood Moon, I heard you,” Link said, and he watched her blush, and he felt a little bolder, “Goddess knew how I needed to hear something friendly those nights. Everything I did to help save people…all of it coming undone over and over, knowing people would get hurt, slowing down all our work.”

She put her arm around him.

He stiffened at first, but her hug was so compassionate, so friendly, he slowly relaxed into it.

They watched the sun disappear. They trekked back down to the Inn and Zelda moved their beds closer so they could reach across the gap between them. It was simply part of their routine now to stay within arm’s reach. Link paid several of the villagers to keep watch through the night outside while Zelda wrote in her diary. Link added a few notes to his own records with a smile, and Zelda nodded approvingly as he finished and closed the book.

“Did you include the part where the children tried to eat me?” She asked as he brought the candle closer to her.

“No, but I’m sure the Royal Record has a full account as of tonight. May it never be forgotten,” He chuckled.

“We shall commission a tapestry,” she said, her laughter softening. She closed her diary, blew out the candle, and settled into her blankets,

“And thank you, Link, for encouraging me to agree. I don’t know why the sea makes me so uneasy. I think… I think it might be because…whenever Father told me about the sea, he described it in such a terrifying way. It sounded like a nightmare. Only knowing you’d be here made it feel somewhat safe to come. And then seeing children playing so freely in the water…I’m learning that so much of his description was grossly exaggerated. He made it sound like a place of death, where waves could grab you and hold you down, sharks waited from the shore to eat you, and even the sand would swallow you whole. I wonder if he just never wanted me to ask him to bring me here. Just another distraction.

Silence caught and held the sadness in her voice.

“I guess he truly wanted nothing to impede my duty saving Hyrule,” she sighed after some silence.

Link reached a hand over to her bed, and she took it.

“That’s true,” he agreed, “And you did. And next it’s your turn to decide where we make up for those lost years; after one more day of putting up with sand in Gerudo, that is.”

“Uhg! I still feel like a blade is going to find me every time I touch sand. I was so foolish for trying to run away from you,” He rubbed her fingers with his thumb, and she sighed. He sat up a little, remembering something new. He whispered, “None of us knew you were being hunted. You can’t blame yourself for what you don’t know. None of the reports I read indicated their resurgence. I remember…feeling…surprised.”

The ocean’s soft shushing drew them away from dark memories and into peaceful thoughts.

“Time to make new memories,” Link mumbled as he drifted into dreams.

She pondered his words in silence, and soon they both fell asleep.

I'm not saying I'm distracted but my favourite local tattoo artist (and one of my favourite artists over all) just opened her bookings for 2024 and I can't stop thinking about it

#aaaaah #I'm not even sure if I can afford her work #but still #i have a mighty need #teba's diary

Just saw a youtube video suggesting that BOTW Link's champion ability might be slowing down time (hence the bullet-time mechanic) and holy FUCK that makes so much sense???? Not only is it EXPLICITLY MENTIONED BY AT LEAST ONE NPC (Teba in the Vah Medoh quest) that it "looks like time slows down" when hes shooting arrows but also im p sure it's mentioned in a diary/written something somewhere. Plus it ties in with oot, explains how the menu pauses time, and also absolutely FUCKS.

upon pondering the four Champions i have noticed something. Sidon is Mipha's brother, and Yunobo is a descendant of Daruk (which, like, he's his great-grandkid at the most? "descendant" is so dramatic lmao). it's not super explicit with Riju, but given that she inherited the title of Chief from her mother (as written in her diary), she's likely a reasonably close blood relative of Urbosa.

meanwhile Teba is literally just Some Guy

gerudo townnn

did a bunch of exploring/side stuff and now finally continuing with le story and riju’s new design is so cute i love her haircut!

i will say now that im close to having all of the companion characters avatars, it still makes me sad that teba basically got replaced 😭 like thematically it makes sense, and its not like tulin came out of nowhere, and i love him he is my son, but i dont think teba even had any spoken voicelines in totk?? idk it just make me kinda sad cuz he was the one to help link in botw and now we can use everyone else’s abilities but teba just. not there 😔 sidon is my fav but teba and riju are tied for second

and i feel bad cuz i like yunobo! he’s cute! but overall the gorons just do not appeal to me very much design-wise and goron city isnt nearly as interesting as the other regions (i feel like its music doesnt help either) imo and im sure thats a boring take but character design is a big thing for me so i just dont feel as attached to him 😭😭😭

been running around with tulin’s and sidon’s avatars tho they are my (link’s) son and husband and then i will have my daughter riju

also as other ppl have said it also makes me sad that like. all traces of the champions are kinda gone or they’re not rly mentioned. i mean mipha has that court named after her now, i think riju only mentions urbosa in her diary, daruk’s carving is there, but as much as i dont care for revali its like he’s utterly nonexistent? cuz i think the others were tied to the champions by blood except for revali and teba. they could have at least kept the divine beasts around :(

kinda makes me want to play aoc now. i’ve been seeing clips on tiktok lately and want to see more of the champions as well as the current companions (i didnt bother with it before cuz its non-canon and im not a huge fan of timefuckery stuff like that—like adult sidon meeting his baby self—but……i want to see more of those characters)
