Did you notice? ...The rumbling and shaking of the ground makes Zelda stumble a bit, and Link is there to keep her from falling.

Sometimes self care is playing Age of Calamity and reminding yourself that there is a world where the Champions, Link and Zelda are all happy and alive. Age of Calamity is just a 100k “Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies” ao3 fic come to life and I fully support that.

#playing this game is like spiritual healing #nintendo rlly said: don’t cry blorbos alive in alternate reality okay? #and i think that’s beautiful #after all the angst that is botw and totk it’s fun to have age of calamity there #botw #totk #age of calamity #link #zelda #revali #urbosa #mipha #daruk #age of calamity spoilers #just in case anyone who is new to this fandom stumbles across this

Big Man should not be in the Smash Bros Temple stage

This is now possible in theory with the recent Deep Cut x Smash Bros Ultimate crossover event!

#(Even if it said possibility is just equipping the spirit on the stage) #Taking this opportunity to ANNOUNCE said crossover event because I only stumbled across it by accident a few days ago! #big man #big man splatoon #splatoon #smash bros #super smash brothers #legend of zelda #big man in places he shouldn't be

Why do you love the Legend of Zelda? What first drew you to it?

That's.... A complicated answer lmao well more like long. sorry for the ramble !!

What drew me in

First off, unlike a lot of people I know I wasn't raised with the games. My parents were more Square Enix games people. Dragon quest and Final fantasy were the big games from my early years. So I had and still have very limited knowledge of the Legend of Zelda licence.

That's my dear friend @lennsart that got me into it. Unlike me, Loz was a huge part of their childhood and they know the lore better than even the Zelda encyclopedia-- They are 100% the one to thank for even bringing the games to my attention !

The first game I played of all the possible games was Hyrule Warrior with Lenn. I really enjoyed playing it and it got me intrigued. I mean look at Link in this game. Fabulous boy going to war.

Recently, they got really into Link meet AU.

To be more precise, they got into @bonus-links . One look at Warrior and I was smitten. He didn't even appear yet in the comic that i adopted the guy. Love this man. I want to become cosplay him so bad.

Also they read This is an Adjuration by @not-freyja and wanted to get their feelings out. I listened and stumbled HARD into the fandom. Drew Warrior as consolation because I was not okay I really have to sit down and read it before the end ....

I even had the privilege of a full PowerPoint presentation of each boy so I could understand LU/Link meets AU and read their fanfic A cave like a net (and a spilled secret) if that's not dedication I don't know what else is.

You could say I'm here thanks to lenn, @bonus-links and @not-freyja --

What I love about the legend of Zelda

Unsurprisingly, I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan so the complicated timelines and plots drew in the gremlin in me.

Then I started to really look at the lore and characters.... And dang is there lots of fun things to learn. My knowledge of it is still scattered and random but that's really fun !!

I really love the music too. That's the side of the games I first learned about before even playing Hyrule Warriors. Song of storm and song of healing have been my go-to for a good decade now.

Recently I started playing Ocarina of Time and I'm counting this as another reason I love the Legend of Zelda. That's very fun even if I have negative skills in video games ahah

TLDR : My friend got me into Zelda by talking about @bonus-links amazing and delectable paneling and colours, scaring me with @not-freyja masterpiece This is an Adjuration and talking about LU (also their fire fanfic).

I love Zelda for the complex timeline and lore shenanigans, the music and my first time playing OOT very recently.

Thanks for the ask ♪♪♪♪

#I RAMBLED SO HARD SORRY #its just i have lots of thoughts #I'm still taking baby steps in the fandom-- #i might share my OOT doodles soon #99% percent of it is me being bad at games or making jokes #love cucoos #that post serves as my apology for any lore stumble/ smooth brain moments towards zelda #ask response 💙 #loz #the legend of zelda #rambling

Rereading through Jojo's discord lore dump stuff again and man, she reminds me of myself and of how I do things with my stories. I think it would be really fun to chat with Jojo writer-to-writer about storyplotting and storywriting, compare notes, talk about inspirations, our writer/artist journeys on how we got to where we are now in the craft, etc. Too bad there's a wall between us of her being Important and fandom famous and me being a weird little forest creature in one small corner of the sea of the fandom.

I find the processes of how different writers create their stories to be super interesting. How do you go from random plot bunny to plotted outline + completed longfic chapters? Everyone's way of doing things is wildly different and it is so fascinating. Are there any other fic writers out there who wanna chat about storywriting?

#Jojo also reminds me of my sister #My twin used to write stories too when we were kids #but now her hobbies have shifted on to other things #it really is a privelege to be able to read the Linked Universe comic with how much work goes into it #and an honor that Jojo chooses to continue to write for us--the audience #She's one of those people who's stumbled into greatness and she's taking it in stride #just like a Zelda hero

trick or treat!

both a treat and a trick because again no candy but yay for silly photos?

I THINK I've mentioned before that I have a Loki cutout? I got him back in... I wanna say 2013. And I decorate him for the holidays.

ALSO HE IS VERY TALL AND I AM *VERY* SHORT

bask in this moment for it is the only one where I will ever upload anything remotely resembling a photo of myself lol

#asks #tumblr trick or treat #everyone come point and laugh about what a NERD I used to be and still am just in a completely different way now #the one time I will ever post a photo of myself online and it's just my forehead and eyes #and Loki looking SUPREMELY disappointed and done with life #like I know it's just the lighting but he looks so TIRED in that pic and it makes me giggle whenever I stumble upon it again #also wow my room looked SO different back then #now I've got murals on the walls and ivy and fairy lights and it legitimately looks like you've walked into an enchanted forest #IT'S SO COLORFUL #it's interesting going down memory lane for me here because I didn't really feel free to express myself so much creatively back then #so my room was boring outside of the Loki cutout and looked very 'normal' #now you walk in and you feel like you're in a Legend of Zelda game because I started just letting loose and going WILD with the decor #the rest of the apartment is fairly normal if a bit messy because of my roommate and pets #then you get into my room and it's like stepping through a portal

Been slowly collecting all the Twilight Princess pieces in TotK (Yes, I fought a King Gleeok in the Depths just to get the hat - it was well worth it)

#tears of the kingdom #tears of the kingdom spoilers #totk #i love the fact that theyre not just tied to the amiibos anymore #i looked up where to get the armor pieces #but i stumbled across the claymore completely on accident #i had no idea that it even existed #i got it and i was all like 'wait a second this is the sword they tried to execute ganondorf with' #the outfit just really makes it feel like a zelda game though #and i am glad to have it #i just need so much topaz to upgrade it #i need to find out a good place to get some #cause i need a lot

[bbq-potato-chip]

I have another ask. What was your first ever Legend of Zelda game? Also what is your favorite one ?

BoTW was my first ever zelda game! I got it when it first came out on WiiU in 2017, although I didn't really play it myself until long after lol, but its still very near and dear to my heart.

Not to be one of those people, but BotW would probably be my favorite because it was really the first video game i really played myself. The story is just so important to me and the excitement I felt whenever I'd explore a new area or even find anew korok or npc out in the wilderness felt so special! Finding the memories felt so special too- slowly uncovering zelda and link's relationship and watching zelda gradually warm up to him and then seeing the final memories was just so good, on top of slowly rediscovering the champion's relationships with link and zelda.

Uncovering the story piece by piece was such an interesting way to do the story because. You ARE link and you slowly begin to understand who these people are and what they meant to you. You know at first that there were these people who knew you that died. You know that there's a princess waiting for you, but you don't really know who she is. But you try to help out anyway. and then you realize. Oh. these people were my friends. The princess loved me. Now I have a reason to fight. And now, after I fight, they can rest in piece. To a certain extent, the story can be subjective to the player and it can be personal to the link as much as the player (ignore the momires just fight the bosses dont even save the champions etc) likes I suppose, but I really think that the way the game subtly directs the player to do things and narrative itself is personal to link and his relationships with zelda and the Champions...which is just so...special i think.

Skyward sword is also one of my favorites (although i haven't completed it...I'm almost at the end but i got scared...dont look at me), and I like totk (although i have some issues with the story and themes as compared to botw) and while I haven't player wind waker or Oot, but I'd really like to! I've watched the cut scenes for many of the big zelda games, but there are many I haven't played that I certainly would like to. But I still think BotW would remain my favorite.

#botw literally makes me insane like no other zelda game. yes even totk. #Botw is so romantic (with a capital R!!) on so many levels...It scracthes my brain and it's just such a beautiful game... #Botw zelink was my first ever ship so it fundamentally is just so important to me on that level too... #I have literally written an essay about botw and turned it in for school. because I am sooooo normal about botw I promise <<<lying #anyway. it wasn't very good but there were some ideas in there that I might turn into analysis posts because I think its still salvageable #if yall couldn't tell already i'm not very good at writing so its hard when you have a ton of thoughts but. you are terrible at typing #and also have terrible sentence structure skills and a limited vocabulary. things to improve on!!! *cries* #I've been thinking about doing more Thoughts(tm) about stuff I like for writing practice...but it's scary #anyway. did not mean to ramble on about how i am a terrible writer but. here we are i guess #long story short. I love botw. *takes a little bow**stumbles off my podium**falls down the stairs*

whenever I go back and play older games I realize how difficult it is to figure out what to do or where to go next

#specifically like n64 Zelda and old final fantasy games #sometimes I’ll start an incomplete file and I’ll have no way of telling where I am in the game or what to do #just smth interesting that really isn’t an issue at all these days like I’ve never not known where to go next in a modern game #I kinda prefer the old way where you just kinda have to stumble around and explore everything to eventually have some npc give you a hint #💬

So here’s a stupid Tears of the Kingdom story.

The first geoglyph I activated was by accident, without speaking to Impa. I’d fallen off a sky island (not my fault, joycon drift) and decided to make the best of it by gliding to something that looked interesting. Noticed there was a teardrop pattern all over it, but only one was solid green. Thought I’d investigate that, maybe it was hiding a Korok. Got a big surprise!

So. I assumed that was how you needed to activate every geoglyph. Glide right down from the sky and land on that precise spot, without touching the ground in between. I DID THIS FOR THE NEXT SEVEN GEOGLYPHS I FOUND.

SEVEN. GOING THROUGH HEAPS OF STAMINA FOOD AND SPAMMING GUSTS. BEFORE REALISING YOU CAN JUST STROLL OVER TO THEM ON THE GROUND AND STAND ON THE RIGHT SPOT.

Also, after jumping down wells without ladders, I kept getting out by warping to shrines. Finally figured out you can just ASCEND. That’s a PSA to anyone else who didn’t think of it, but I suspect that not one other soul has my insane geoglyph problem.

#Legend of Zelda #Tears of the Kingdom #I also found that rebuilding ability without activating the quest #just stumbled across it and then gave that Sheikah kid a shock #getting through this game in the most chaotic manner possible

[astral-catastrophe]

I do like seeing how Zelda and Link’s relationship develops in the memories, and maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see much romance there. They’re besties

#That part tho were Ganon returns and Zelda stumbled and Link caught her tho. My heart <3

[regnantlight]

Well shit they look good together.

posting this at stupid o'clock cuz I will be already sleeping at that point and won't be thinking how stupid I am, anyways idk why I care so much about this it's nothing serious but eh...

#idk if this is an autism thing to care too much about silly things like this #or if I just spent way too much time in the zelda fandom where some of the people I stumbled upon seems to care A LOT about canon #and this entered my brain #hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
