This isn't a question, just something I wanted to say. I read your to kill a silent princess fanfic a couple months ago, and I loved it so much, that it motivated me to start writing my own fanfics and stuff. Now I've gotten over 10k words and I just wanted to say, thank you for starting it all.
jesus fucking christ thank you so much
that is a wonderful compliment. thank you. it’s a lot of motivation for me, too. good luck with everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💓💓💓💓
So this comes from an observation I made during last year's trailer
If you're anything like me and cheesed the dungeon with Zora armour, you'll remember there's a LOT of water around this castle. In fact, you can kind of see it a bit in the trailer before the entire thing gets lifted out of the air.
You can also see it on the map. Now I thought, given the sudden lack of huge waterfalls, 'so what happened to all that water?' This led to... quite a long trek around Hyrule, where it became clear to me that most major river systems run through that castle moat.
To cut a long investigation short, I kind of figured that most of Hyrule's water must be sourced from the East Reservoir in Zora's domain. The alternative would be Hyrule Castle itself. This made a lot of sense and I just moved on with life, though I never quite forgot about this idea.
This is now relevant again
Now it's only visible for like, a frame. But... ENHANCE
Isn't this river looking... awful patchy to you? Keep in mind, given the angle, this should be the wetlands. You can kind of see it.
I'm fully prepared for this to just be some sort of rendering thing, but I can't seem to stop thinking about how disruptive to the are around the castle this is. And Nintendo have clearly chosen washed out lighting on purpose, but the area around Hyrule field looks pretty dry.
Since Zonai are confirmed at this point, this leads me to think about Faron, which is incidentally where a lot of the floating islands seem to be. Arguably, Zonai are easy to associate with water. I can't help but wonder if the river system around Faron (and Lake Hylia!) might be dried up, or else extra areas are now accessible (and a way to below Hyrule?).
Whatever the case, there just feels like something is going on with this water.
Blood? 😳
Haha Zelmo! You know me too well. There are... 19 mentions of the blood LOL UM. Here are three of them, each with a slightly different vibe of blood. (Again these are all from the same WIP as this, and this post).
Link sprinted, causing the lynel to let out a blood-curdling roar as it stowed away its bow and pulled out the crusher instead. An overbearing laugh, the scent of bananas, and the feeling of clumped blood itched his fingertips. The Calamity, a flurry of magenta, unleashed itself when they were the least prepared they could be, spools of malice fanning out and latching around their limbs, crawling its way beneath weak, susceptible skin, into their very blood.
I um. Yeah this is totally a fluffy fic I promised who would have thought otherwise...
Haha, yes, look at all the fluff! 😆😆😆
I mean, I asked for it... 😄

Zelda’s mouth always bothered me in certain cutscenes/images because they made her mouth SO SMALL at some points (yes, video game logic, but it still bothers me) so I edited her to have a more realistically proportioned mouth and

Someone’s got a lot of explaining to do
Link looking stunning good for him but Fi wtf?? U good??
I find it hilarious how fucking DEVASTATED BoTw Link is about losing a Mario kart race.
Thousands of people died during the calamity including your best friends and it’s your job to fix what’s left.
You got 7th place in Mario Kart.
hi! This has been on my mind for a while, so I figured I’d compile it. This is a list of non-playable characters in BotW that, whether canon or through my own headcanons, truly know who Link is.
I’m not including any Zora or Sheikah in this list - even Granté, Robbie’s son. I’m assuming he visited his parents at some point, if he’s that close to the Tech Lab.
anyways!
Yeah, no secret there. Throughout my first playnthrough I had a theory that Kass knew Link’s identity, and of course the Champion’s Ballad confirmed that. Hc is that Kass keeps teasing Link about “potentially writing a new song for him”, and Link out of pure bashfulness manages to dodge the topic every time.
The boss may think otherwise, but Yunobo has his own theories. He began thinking on it after Link left the city, and he could have sworn he’d seen Daruk’s spirit atop the Devine Beast...who else other than the Champion of old could have provoked that?
Yunobo had heard tales from travelers as he’d grown up - stories of the Ancient Hero, sleeping in a hill somewhere (very ancient-European-folklore-esque, by the way). He’d grown up believing the story, but young adulthood pushed him to stop believing in fairy tales. But maybe Link’s appearance proved that the fantastical wonder of the past was still prevalent.
Riju is sharp for her age. Link is one of the few people she knows who’s relatively close to her in age (y’know, comparatively). She wants to be closer friends with him, because kinship is honestly what she longs for amidst the stress of being Cheif.
Bularia is weary of Link, but she’s weary of everyone. She genuinely trusts his skills, especially after he tamed Vah Naboris, but the front she puts up is mostly a defense mechanism as the Chief’s personal guard.
Sis!! Sis. I will always long for the Saki Champion-Sucessor AU, where Teba is still Teba, but after he becomes wounded trying to get close to Vah Medoh (similarly to Harth), Saki decided to take use of the archery skills she had as a youth. My headcanon has always been that she was a Rito warrior who retired to start a family, happily so, but still. Saki is best wife.
Saki knew who she was in the presence of the second she saw Link’s realization-face, staring at Revali’s landing. Another separate headcanon I have is that, the closer you live to the Elder in Rito Village, the closer you are to being considered a part of his “court” (it’s not a monarchy, but you get it, it’s just how “within the nest” you are as a Rito). She’s done errands for the Elder. She knew the stories of Champion Revali, and how close he was to the other Champions (in the perspective of historical hindsight). She overheard Link speaking to the Elder - “I can calm Vah Medoh.” And when he actually succeeded, that’s when she knew. But, if there was a reason Link wasn’t saying it outright, then Saki wouldn’t ask. She’ll respect his boundaries.
Teba is totally in denial, except when his wife is like “hey I think Link is high-key the champion” and Teba’s like “yeah pff I knew that the whole time” but inside he’s all “what the fuck. like what the fuck”. Saki makes him a strong cup of tea.
Just kidding, Amali is actually best wife, because being a single parent is tough work, especially while her husband is low-key MIA. She takes her time assessing Link, though. He’s a helpful boy, and she appreciates his kindness, but it isn’t until Kass comes home - and until she sees Link talk to her husband - that Amali realizes Link’s true identity.
She and Kass have a long conversation about it. Kass is overjoyed to have been able to share his message with the hero, and Amali is happy for him. She’s a little winded to have met the Ancient Champion, but that’s life for you.
anyone else gonna be watching the Nintendo Direct today?
