Prompt today for Linktober is ‘Food’
I imagine that Link has some food hoarding going on. Loves to eat, but doesn’t love to share!
..... am I the only one who desperatly wants to adopt the guardian scout of ta'loh naeg shrine?
One of these days I'm either going to write a fic or draw comics about a loz botw au where Link purifies a bunch of guardians like he purifies the devine beasts. So it's just Link and his squad of guardians. He starts with some guardian scouts and eventually escalates to a flying guardian and a battalion of guardian stalkers. He names all of them.
Also the idea that Link can customize their glowing pattern colors so eventually he has one for every color of the rainbow.
I desperatly need to screech excitedly about the age of calamity demo, so obviously massive spoiler warning:
Ok so I was not expecting time travel, but you know what I'm 100% down lets muck up the time line together you funky lil eggy fella.
Sure I thought the game was going to be a proper prequel, but I'm honestly just as hyped for a timeline split. And honestly I can see why they would go with this instead of a direct prequel. They're probably trying to avoid the "yay you beat the boss! But actually you still loose" conundrum. From a gameplay standpoint, that's not fun or satisfying. It's rather frustrating actually. It also makes you more invested in the characters and the plot, because you can actually see a chance of them winning.
As for the timeloop theory I've seen floating around, I personally don't think the time travel is creating a time loop in this scenario. If they were going for a time loop scenario there would be no need to have changes to the timeline. And there definitely are already changes happening from what happened in the botw timeline. For one, Link getting the sheikah slate. It's implied in botw that the reason the shrines and towers never activated pre the calamity hitting was because Link was never given the sheikah slate. The slate has some sort of technology that makes it only fully activate if it senses the hero (probably meant as a safety protocol to keep it from being used by someone who wasn't supposed to.). In the botw timeline, link was never given the sheikah slate, thus the slate didn't activate it's runes, and the towers never rise. In age of calamity Link ends up holding the slate, causing it to activate and send out a signal to activate the tower.
Here's what I think is going on with the time travel: the egg guardian moves to/creates a separate timeline. Alternate timelines are already an established concept in the loz lore, so it's not a stretch. The timeline the egg leaves leads to the events of botw, while the timeline the egg arrives in leads to a different outcome thanks to the egg's meddling. It's like the ending of oot: Link leaves behind the timeline where gannondorf rose to power, and ends up in a timeline where gannondorf hasn't made his move yet. The timeline he left behind (adult timeline) continues without him, eventually leading to the events of wind waker. The timeline Link ends up in isn't actually necessarily the past, it's a alternate timeline (the child timeline). One where he hasn't met zelda yet, and gannondorf hasn't taken over. The timeline the egg leaves behind to result in botw is like the adult timeline in this case, and age of calamity is like the child timeline. They split into separate outcomes.
Also the whole timeline shenanigans explains why the egg guardian is no where to be found in botw. It no longer exists in that timeline. Also, since it was in a box in the opening cut scene, I feel it's safe to say it wasn't activated in the botw time line until the moments we see in aoc. It's not that unreasonable to think that they wouldn't have spent the time and resources on a small guardian that didn't apear to have any useful abilities. It had probably been shelved upon being found as a potential pet project if there was extra time. The outward appearance of the egg doesn't exactly scream powerful. I could see them thinking it was some kind of early prototype of the larger guardians. And a prototype isn't as useful as the finished product.
So anyways, other thoughts: Impa may look like her granddaughter, but she is still definitely a certified badass. Impa is the definition of 'looks like a cinnamon roll but could kill you". I am so here for it. Also: the king is once again proving that he is a dick by being mean to the lil egg guardian.
Also, yes I do have a lot of thoughts about the whole "the towers and shrines didn't activate because Link wasn't given the sheikah slate" thing. First off, why wasn't he given it? Zelda herself states in one of the memories in botw that "it appears that this structure (the shrine) was designed to be exclusively accessed by the sword's chosen one". So logically the solution to not being able to activate the shrine is give Link the slate and have him try. But that's not what she does. Instead she immediately goes "welp time to find a loophole". Why do it the hard why when you have the proper key right there in the form of Link? Was Link forbidden from handling the slate? Was Zelda being petty and refusing to let Link touch the slate? What is going on here?? Link not being given the object designed to only activate when held by him probably didn't help them in the fight against the calamity, in fact it probably helped lead to their defeat. Not only was zelda not ready, neither was Link because he couldn't receive the training he was meant to get from the shrines. This also brings up something interesting; Link not being given the slate is probably part of the reason they were having difficulty learning to control the guardians and the devine beasts. Instead of being given direct access, they had been trying to break through their programming by brute force. No wonder it took a while for Daruk to get the hang of controlling his devine beast, he was trying to operate it without having proper access. It could also explain the difference between sheikah tech that is all blue vs sheikah tech that is orange and blue. Blue tech has been fully activated by the hero, while blue and orange is operational but not properly "unlocked".
Don't feel like doing proper shading and lighting right now so have this concept of a guardian wolf.
So I learned that one of the concept art designs for the master cycle zero was based off of a wolf. I looked at that and thought to myself "but what if you had a mechanical guardian wolf companion?" So I drew that. Maybe someday I'll come back and finish this.
So a completely absurd concept that had me and my brother wheezing: Link's voice is actually incredibly loud, and his "hyaa!" Is the quietest he can be, if he shouted it would deafen everyone in a mile radius.
Bonus: the hero of the wild forgets this fact due to his amnesia, and accidentally fus ro dah's the first non ghost person he meets.
PIPLUS FOR DAYS. Awkward flirting for everybody!
Request sketch for @mossrat! My linksona Solus with her Pip!
Sol doesn’t really get how to flirt
Didn’t he find the sword when he was like 12.
You can support me on my ko-fi! ❤️
BREATH OF THE WILD 2 BABY
a very sketchy comic of a silly idea I had. WOOF -X- tirinha bem rabiscada de uma ideia besta que eu tive. AU AU
EXCUSE ME BUT DID YALL SEE LINK’S FACE WHEN HE MET THE BABY GUARDIAN??? HE TOTALLY ADOPTED THE LITTLE EGG AND I’M DYING
I study design in college, and my homework for rendering class was to draw a sort of instructions manual for an item (in traditional art). Aaaaand my teacher allowed me to draw a videogame item :D translation for the text is: “The Sheikah Slate is a tablet built with the high technology of the sheikah people. It’s purpose is helping adventurer heroes in their travels, using its runes to overcome challenges found in the wild. It’s made of slate, and metals of the ancients. Measurements are 24mm X 14 mm X 6mm (these are not canon, but it was required to put a measurement) ”
Missed drawing some Zelda. So, what if the dragons could become guides and companions (with the bonus of being mounts) to Link? Farosh’s form was inspired by the mountain bucks, Dinraal’s, the water buffalos, and Naydra, the tabantha mooses.
Well it started with me listening to Colgera's theme while thinking about stormlight and then this happened
Been thinking about all the Links. Originally I thought Time was the only one whose deeds went basically unknown, but no, it's most of the Links.
There's almost never an instance where a bunch of people show up to help in any of the games. (Of course, I haven't played many of the Zelda games.)
I just wanna run through the games that I've played.
SUPER LONG POST WARNING
LttP: I never actually finished this one, but the majority of the game feel like you're completely on your own. Maybe people do know what he's done, though.
OoT: He fights Ganon in a world that's already destroyed. Of course, the remaining people may know of his accomplishments, but he doesn't know they know. Link is no longer in the timeline where he might've gotten some recognition. Instead, he just seems like a child who picked up on Ganon's evil before anyone else.
(I'm in the midst of playing Majora's Mask, please do not spoil it for me.)
WW: Nobody even remotely knew of Hyrule's existence. The only thing people may have noticed being wrong was the disappearance of some of the girls around towns and islands. Though, Link could easily be remembered as the person who saved these girls. (It's been a bit since I played this game, please forgive my bad memory.) And at least the sages know what he's been trying to do. Oh, and Tetra knows, but that's a given.
TP: Been playing through this one again. This time I've really picked up on the lonely atmosphere. Which is funny because that game has arguably one of the biggest casts of important people. And maybe that's why. Because despite how many people acknowledge and believe in Link, only Midna truly knows everything he's done. And by the end, she returns to her world and seals off any hope of Link ever seeing her again. So maybe the people know Link has something to do with the sudden decrease in monsters, or maybe that he saved Zelda somehow, but they will never truly know how in trouble they were before Link came along.
BotW: Idk, Link is pretty well acknowledged here. Though it seems like the villagers have no idea he even exists. The Rito even believe that Link's the descendant of himself. But he is not, by any means, the least acknowledged. After the events of BotW (in TotK), you can tell that people know who Link is, and they know that he saved Zelda and defeated Calamity Ganon. Zelda has become very beloved to her people, and Link is the guy almost always accompanying her. (I assume.)
TotK: It's been a while since I've beaten this game, so I'm not entirely sure, tbh. But my guess is the gloom dissipates, and Zelda's back and people know because the signs of things going back to normal are obvious.
Sorry, just having silly hyperfixation thoughts loll
