I wanted to draw the TP kids as teenagers for fun! I mostly had LU in mind tho, since it appears to happen a couple year after his adventure for Twilight.

Now that I think about it, a Professor Layton x Zelda BOTW crossover would actually slap?????

I could really imagine a rewrite of Azran's Legacy but with BOTW's elements. More like a "Professor Layton and the Hylian's Legacy" I guess.

Imagining Link, Ganon and Zelda sleeping for way WAY more than 100 years, to the point of arriving to Professor Layton's times.

Like, instead of finding Aurora in the ice, they find this amnesiac blond guy with pointed ears. Is he linked to this mysterious hylian civilization? Who knows?.. :)

If you have any idea with this you can add! :D

the cool thing about twilight princess is that duality is built into the game. almost everything, every story aspect, character concept, and sequence, is either the opposite of something that appeared in games before it or given a second opposing version for the player to contrast. light? twilight. human link? wolf link. hidden village shootout? hidden village cat speedrun. imp midna? hot midna. concepts are so commonly subverted, too--the scary yeti is a big sweetheart and his adorable wife is the dungeon boss. malo the literal baby is a capitalist mastermind. zelda is part of the final boss. zant is revealed to be Like That after an entire game of seeming super intimidating and serious, and then HE kills ganon! the subversions of ocarina of time alone are fascinating, and i think they're exactly why this game isn't a retelling. it's a remix, in some ways, but still very much its own thing. like dude, the temple of time is a DUNGEON. the forest temple is the dead husk of the deku tree. stuff comes from windwaker too--they de-yassified tingle to make the star mini game npc. nothing is copied, but reutilized and twisted in ways oot veterans will recognize but new players won't. it's unfair to call the game an overly edgy, humorless attempt to undo what windwaker did to lighten the franchise--twilight princess is incredibly self-aware and loves the previous games, and has some of the best silliest "oh my goD WHAT??" moments in the entire series. it's a masterpiece. i could say SO MUCH MORE but in short twilight princess makes some of the coolest, most interesting, and most surprising choices in any zelda game or game ever. it consistently subverts expectations (like in a real thorough and sometimes subtle way, not a superficial rian johnson way) and creates interesting contrasting story and gameplay features. i could gush for paragraphs.

Honestly TP is giving me feelings that no other Zelda ever gave me and I know I'm absolutely not objective on this but this is the best Zelda.

Like, the Best™ Zelda

weird things i adore about twilight princess

when wolf link does a little spin after he sings a song

the way human link does that thing with the sword & scabbard when he's readying himself for battle or has just beat a boss

illia's pure undiluted horse girl energy, whether you like her or not

malo

the way link's musical theme cuts in seamlessly to the music whenever he's doing damage to bosses

hyrule field theme

the mailman being an actual cryptid

several prolonged shots of link being eye-level with telma's... telma

gay dads in karariko village

monkey

midna facepalming and rolling her eyes when link literally perishes

malo's dialogue. all of it

link being viewed as universally handsome but clearly valuing the company of animals over hero worship

like. he has a picture of him and epona in his house. also a goat

pumpkin soup snowpeak yeto and yeta true love and comedy that entire portion of that game honestly

the fact that zant is played off as a totally serious villain but is actually a completely unhinged dance major wearing crocs

zant killing ganon after being exploded by scary midna and the narrative itself being like "yeah we don't even know what just happened"

malomart

the random-ass western shootout with the most perfect music imaginable

the SAME FRAMING AND MUSIC EXCEPT YOUR ENTIRE GOAL IS TO TALK TO 20 CATS???

so many cats and dogs

puppet zelda like that was just cool i gasped do it botw 2 i dare you

hyrule's lgbt alliance being a secret anti-ganon resistance who genuinely come to link's aid

i don't think there is a single cishet adult character in this game. maybe the yetis.

that one character, you know the capitalist baby-man?

midna and zelda having something going on between them esp in the manga. they will not elaborate and i'm happy to fill in the blanks

no forced romance between link and zelda. they're coworkers. if you see them in this game and think they're shippable you're not looking at this game independently

zelda having a sword

the entire manga even though it's not canon

goth trans girl and dark academia trans guy it's like a liberal arts college in telma's bar

agatha's dialogue

shit i can't forget malo

OOCCOO

there's definitely more.
