We don't talk enough about the fact that the Champions' corpses rotted inside the Divine Beasts... Their families never got to give them a proper burial :(

A Revali Fanfic Recommendation

I urge you all to put your life on hold for a moment and go read this brilliant fanfiction:

A hundred years after the fall of Hyrule to Calamity Ganon, and the hero Link has finally sealed the darkness and freed the Divine Beasts of their curse - and with it, their pilots are finally free. But not just as spirits. Awake once again, the four Champions of old have a second chance at life and must re-adjust to this future world with their decendants. Well - all except for one Champion, who doesn't have a decentant. Or even anyone left alive that knew him. Teba is happy to take in his revived ancient idol as one of his own, but sharing a living space with a hundred year old Champion with an ego the size of his divine beast and who might have some issues he's not willing to share can be a lot sometimes and they don't always see eye to eye. Revali thinks he should return to leading the new generation of Rito warriors. Teba thinks this actual child should never have been leading warriors or fighting a war in the first place. Tulin is just excited to have the infamous Rito Champion in his house.

Beautifully written and lovingly crafted, this baby can fit so much trauma and whump into the most gut-wrenching and heat-breakingly found family story you may ever read. 130,000 words, 36 chapters (and still regularly updating!), and a CRIMINALLY low number of kudos. If that doesn't sway you, here is some gushing under the cut <3

You think you've read a champions revival fic before? This will have you saying "how the FUCK have I not seen this before" and completely change the way you view everything (mild exaggeration. m i l d). We have all of your favourite revali tropes: being a dick and getting owned, being a dick and being right, getting own and never showing those feelings to the light of day, getting killed, getting unkilled and loved, showing emotions but being super weird and revali about it, bonding with tulin!!, bonding with teba and the rest of rito village, bonding with the champions, having panic attacks and trauma, vah medoh being the best ever, being a terrifying force of nature, being an idiot kid, and so much more!

Do you like grumpy dad teba? Do you like revali swallowing his pride? Do you like revali immediately spitting his pride back up and being a bitchy bird? Do you like mipha and revali as gossip buddies? Do you like the complete and utter fool revali makes of himself everytime he so much as hears the name link? Do you like people seeing right through his facade and calling him out on it?

AND NOT TO MENTION THE WORLD BUILDING??? this fic is so in depth of the political climates, racism, lore, changes in culture during times of war, colonisation, biology of the races and just fucking everything?? It adds so much life to the world of hyrule I am genuinely shocked at how much this person clearly loves these games (botw/totk/aoc) and they are able to incorporate all of this amazing information in a way that flows so naturally and just hhrnngngg I am fucking insane about it. THE SCIENCE, oh my god how did I forget all the wonderous thoughts surrounding the divine beasts and the sheikah tech, oh god and how they write the magic system? Guys I swear it's so good.

Characterisation is on point, everyone feels so full of life and that they are reacting exactly how you would expect them too, and they just seem so real, like they are right beside you as you're reading. The author does an IMMACULATE job of drawing you in and making you feel a part of the story, all the while being just beautifully written?

Don't get me started on the attention to rito culture. I have never seen someone pour so much love into something before, genuinely on of the greatest things I've seen. I've always had a fascination over how the races of hyrule view each other, similarities and differences, how their cultures and histories intertwine, and conflicts that may arise. But oh. my. god. My jaw was on the floor every time, it's so rich and beautiful but not without the horrors (and oh god, they are Horrors tm) and again it's just so real!!!

Be warned, however, that there is gore and viscera and terror and hurt and war crimes and death (duh), but for each terrible thing to happen it is repaid tenfold in love and kindness somewhere down the line. (Unless you are into hurt no comfort, then sorry buddy!) It is a beautiful narrative and the exploration of trauma and self is mind boggling and just go read it!!! 😭 😭 😭 I just love this fic so much, it has instantly sky-rocketed to one of my top 3 favourite fics I've ever read, and I'm so grateful to have found it and now be along for the ride that if I could bring that to one more person then by god I will fucking do it

Daruk and Urbosa character sheets!!

Urbosa is tough to draw :/

[embretheworld]

Say what you will I honestly don’t think any of the other champions held any ill-will towards Revali. Yeah, he could be annoying and mean sometimes but he was also the youngest champion and rest of the champions were adults in human years so they probably just wrote it off as him just acting like how teenager would. Or someone in their late teens would.

I find it incredibly hard to imagine that you have a bunch of full grown adults ready and wanting to square up with a teenager because he was mean to them.

they spent an hour like this

[honora-antares]

Umm Pre-Calamity Ganon AU where Princess Zelda and her champions are lost somewhere in the Faron woods where they come across a "hostile" tribe group. Leader of said group asks who their leader is and Revali was about to declare himself when Urbosa cuts him of and introduces Zelda. Then said Leader of "hostile" tribe group challenges her to battle(?) because that's how its done when outsiders enter their territory. All champions rally to protect her.

A Hylian Knight with his loyal Master Sword.

A Zora Princess with her graceful Lightscale Trident.

A Goron Warrior with his mighty Boulder Breaker

A Rito Master with his Great Eagle Bow and bomb arrows

A Gerudo Chieftess, wielding both Daybreaker and Scimitar of the Seven

But the Leader has powers, powers to control lighting. Just like Urbosa, but the Leader is younger and less experienced than the great Gerudo Chieftess. The Leader is not able to manipulate Urbosa's queer green lightning and is forced to retreat with scalding burns to their arm, up their neck and down their torso. With a smirk Urbosa is proud to be able to protect her Princess yet again...

Reasons as to why the Princess of Hyrule and her 5 champions where lost in the Faron Woods you may ask? Well, they were in search of an old ally, an ally they might hope to persuade to fight in the upcoming war with Evil. Princess Zelda is worried the people they encountered were members of said ally.

She was correct.

Escorts where sent to bring them to their ruler days after, fortunately this time they announced themselves as friendly, unlike the previous group. The Deku Tribe. They were dressen in bark-like tunics. With decorative leaves and flowers. Vines entwined with beads and miscellaneous on exposed arms and legs and chests. The Princess and her 5 Champions were welcomed with food and drink and music of all kinds: Strings, Wood Wings, Brass. It was lively until the percussion increased followed by the bellows of the brass that the Royals made their entrance.

The Deku King and Queen did not look like the rest of the tribe. Nor the following Scrubs behind them. No, because where the tribe members all resembled like Princess Zelda herself and her human Champions, the Royal Deku Family where like walking fauna. Hair and clothes in form of leaves and twigs. Skin dark and rough as bark.

A tribe member who escorted the Princess noticed her interest and explained, "Many, many years ago, we all used to look like our Royal Highnesses. Now only the Royal family is able to keep our ancestral image alive."

A new piece of music starts to play as the Deku King passes his Tribe. *insert Deku Palace song here* A humanness Deku kneels before him and removes his intricate leafed crown. At its removal, reveals a grown Human man, tall and strong. As the same is done to the Deku Queen, a human woman rises, equally dark and fierce as her partner.

"My Dearest Scrubs," her voice starts, smooth and sonorous, over the booming of the continuing percussion. "We welcome Hyrule's Princess, future Queen of her Lands." The Deku Queen turns to face said Princess, "Allow my children the Honor in welcoming you in our most venerable of ways, The Deku Dance."

And what a dance it was. Princess Zelda has never seen, heard, nor read of such a dance before.

The Royal children's movements causing their leaves and flower petals dresses to flow in the wind. Soft rattles could be heard coming from them. And in simultaneous fluid motions they all came to a halt. Four stood on one side of the grassy field that made up their dance floor while the other four sat on stepstones. Music still ever going as eight Human Tribe Members closed their distance to the Royal children. Princes, Zelda murmured to herself as she looked towards the Royal Scrubs who were standing. Princesses, to the ones sitting on stepstones. At the chime of threes, each Royal child was uncrowned. Reveling not children, but fully matured men and women. At least for the first five. Its when the chimes signaled the sixth child, a Princess, that cold dread manifested inside Princess Zelda. For as the Deku Princess was uncrowned, revealing an olive toned young woman, beads and vines and ropes all over her body. Overly large holes pierced her ears as acorn hats weaved in thistles dangled through them. Though that's not what captured Princess Zelda's attention. No, her attention moved to the Deku Princess's arm. That although covered and wrapped in vines, could not hide the fern-like patters of lighting scars. Nor could her bangled neck be concealed to the very top where the scars have ended. Had her belly and back been exposed too, Princess Zelda is sure that they would be covered in the same patterns.

'Her arm is still shaking.' Signs Link as he touches Princess Zelda's shoulder to get her attention. 'It doesn't look like the Princess has had proper healing.'

"She must be in a lot of pain." Adds in Mipha, Princess of the Zora. "I wonder if. . . she'll let me heal her. . ." She faltered as she took a glance at the Deku Princess's neck.

"Hell of a fighter, she is, if her hand is the only thing that's shaking." Daruk's voice interjects always careful to keep it in a low whisper, his chains rattling as he crosses his arms. "How did you even noticed that, Little Guy? I can barely see it move."

"Hmph, I think she's an idiot. As a warrior, someone who clearly uses a weapon for combat, she should know the importance of maintaining good physical health." Huffed the Rito Champion. Revali prides himself in keeping his feather nice, primed and preened at all times. "As for a Princess, well. . ." He turns his beak upwards to the remaining Champion who has yet to speak. "You're fucked."

Urbosa has never once agreed with the overbearing Rito.

Until now.

Daruk is such a big dork I swear lol

He's afraid of dogs and I adore him for that. Guys who dislike dogs are appreciated here— besides Dingo, he and his cynophobia can go somewhere else >:(

[demiboydemon]

Bam! Link’s foundation? Gone. Better call Hudson, quick!

[incorrect-quotes-lobby]

Zelda: What did you guys get in your yearbook? Mipha: 'Prettiest Smile' Daruk: 'Nicest Personality' Revali: 'Most likely to start a bar fight' Urbosa: 'Least likely to start a bar fight, but most likely to win one'

[plaguedoctorjester]

Based on a Roleplay

Below is the comic above but typed out.

Scenario as seen in the image: Revali and Daruk are sitting in a traditional Japanese setting. I can't draw a Japanese setting so you have to imagine it: :<

First Panel: Side-Caption: "There are others here I just don't wanna draw em lol"

Revali has a bowl of seafood ramen, a cup of water, and a Ramune Japanese Soda bottle that he can't open.

Revali: "How spicy can it be?"

Daruk is sitting off to the side staring at his cup of Hot Spring Rock Water and bowl of Rock Soup [there might be noodles in it too idk]. Daruk says nothing.

Second Panel: Revali is loudly slurping up the Ramen.

Third Panel: Revali: . . . Revali: "It's not that ba-"

Fourth Panel: Revali's head is now on fire.

The fire, Ramune Bottle, Seafood Ramen, Cup of rocks, and pot of rocks are all copied from Google Images.
