A thought occurred to me.

Sky is a knight. He trains every day. He slep a lot, but he trains every day.

And he went toe to toe with Demise, after slapping his sleepwalking bum down like three times.

My point of this. He a strong boi. Which tells me he’s as ripped and strong as Twilight?

Is Blorbo ripped under his clothes and the game just denied us seeing?

OOOHHH a good question, and While I do have a take on this I've gotta be careful how I word it to avoid spoilers. You got me researching things, (And mass comparisons cause I live in kilograms but I know my American friends don't. So I've got both! :D)

So, Here we go :D

Sky is strong, he's very strong, but he's not as ripped as say Twi. He's lived at high altitudes his whole life and trains on the daily, eats pumpkins on the regular alongside what I can only assume is actually quite a healthy lifestyle. But I wouldn't say he's on Twi's level. Twilight is by a long shot the strongest of the links.

He's not a ranch hand like Twilight or say Time. He's not lifting masses of weights on the daily. He's training with a sword that's actually pretty light in comparison.

I did research for this

So taking the master sword as a Longsword blade, from my rough research into the blade. And assuming that Sky always trained with a Longsword. (I don't know about the goddess blade, but I'm working on the master sword dimensions.)

An average longsword weighs approx 1.5kg, (3.3 pounds) - or about a bag and a half of sugar. Which would be heavy, to begin with, but if you lifted that same weight for years without changing it, it would become really easy to lift. Like how if you lift your work or school bag all year it's easy to lift after a while.

After a while it's second nature, it just becomes an extension of yourself.

Sound like anyone? Who can swing a sword like it's nothing??

Whereas in comparison, Twilight works as a wrangler. He wrangles goats. Goats are a little heavier than that. Lets say about (65 - 100kg (between 140 - 220 pounds). Using the midpoint at about 80kg, or 176 pounds. (Or in terms of bags of sugar, 65 - 100 bags) As i couldn't find any information about Ordonian goats but did find information about goats. LOTS OF GOATS

Goats are just heavier. By a bunch.

Man I rambled a tad there

Basically, No, Sky isn't ripped. He's just got one hell of an adrenaline rush. You could even say he was fuelled by spite and hate, the determination to save Zelda and destroy the guy that caused him all the pain in the first place and became superhuman for a while before what I can only assume is crashing so damn hard he slept for several weeks.

But thats all I can say, I don't want to give away spoilers. Spoilers are bad. We ain't here for that.

This was an interesting thing to look into this Friday night, thanks for the ask! :D

Random Idea junk drawer

Hi, I’m back with more fusion nonsense. We’ve done Phantom of the Opera and Ocarina of Time, and now I’m back with more Zelda bullshit because what’s better than one special interest/hyperfixation? Two! I’ve had this one in mind for a year though, ever since I wrote the epilogue for Main Objective : Destroy Yiling Laozu, so I feel like it’s time I finally put something down on this one (It’s Twilight Princess, my beloved). Again, I’m just going to post all of this exactly as I wrote it, so it’s rambling and probably doesn’t make too much sense but it’s something that apparently needs to exist right now to help me procrastinate the things I genuinely want to be writing. *Cue the longest sigh known to man*

Everything I have so far about this Twilight Princess AU under the readmore ♥

Main Cast:

Lan Wangji as Link - the strong and silent hero. He was brought to Ordon/Caiyi Village as a baby by Madam Lan, who died of a wasting illness soon after delivering her charge into safe hands. No one knows that she was the queen of Hyrule, fleeing with her younger son out of desperation and grief that she could only take one, leaving her eldest alone in the castle.

Wei Wuxian as Midna - The Prince of the Twili, cursed to roam as an imp by Xue Yang, the usurper of his throne in the Twilight Realm. He doesn't care much at all for the world of Light that spurns his people and imprisons them in their world of shadow and decay, and so he decides to use Lan Wangji's strength and willingness to help anyone and everyone to his own ends and regain his throne, no matter the cost.

Lan Xichen as Zelda - The beloved Prince of Hyrule, imprisoned in Hyrule Castle and left alone to watch over his kingdom as everyone else wastes away into spirits in front of his eyes. He recognizes Wei Wuxian as his counterpart in the Twilight Realm by the familiar wash of his magic, and his brother by the golden eyes only seen in the Royal bloodline, though his own don't burn as brightly as his brother's. He keeps this knowledge of Lan Wangji's identity a secret for now, unwilling to burden his brother further when he's already been tasked with restoring Light to the world.

Xue Yang as Zant - Jumped up on stolen power/glory from his unseen benefactor, Xue Yang claims to have an advanced form of Wei Wuxian’s tribe’s magic and uses it to force Wei Wuxian from his throne and curse him to be an imp to keep him from retaliating. He’s an easily discarded tool once he’s no longer useful.

Wen Ruohan as Ganondorf - The looming specter of evil behind everything, using Xue Yang as his puppet in the world of Light and Twilight both to get all the power he wants. He sells himself to Xue Yang as a god and earns his devotion and following in exchange for power, but when Lan Wangji kills Xue Yang he reveals himself for who he really is and steps out of the shadows for the final confrontation.

Ensemble as human Caiyi/Dafan (Ordon/Kakariko) Villagers:

The Juniors (minus Sizhui) aged down to be the kids. Zizhen is the oldest, the head of Lan Wangji's unofficial fan club in the village and too busy writing love songs and poetry and the like to want to bother with weapons. Jingyi as Talo, brash and confident and a big fan of practicing with his wooden sword, especially if Lan Wangji is around to show him a few moves. A-Ling as Malo, tiny and sour-faced, angry at everything all the time (but weirdly good with money for a toddler??).

Mianmian as Ilia. She's pretty and sweet and a natural choice for Lan Wangji's love interest if they were to stay in Caiyi Village/Ordon their whole lives, but as their adventures take them in different directions they simply grow closer as friends. Especially once Mianmian's memory is restored and she can see how much Lan Wangji is growing as a hero without her. She settles down in Kakariko Village/Dafan Mountain and happily assists her new friends there.

Sizhui (aged up a bit) as Renado. He's grown up in Kakariko Village/Dafan and has become quite accomplished in medicine for both humans and Gorons. He's descended from the people who became the Twili under Wei Wuxian, and though he isn't aware of it that bridge between the two worlds is part of what strengthens him and gives him such a long life and uncanny healing capabilities.

I so badly wish there was someone who could easily be Telma. TITTIES OUT NMJ A LA TBGKARU-WOH'S CQL CHARACTER REDESIGNS!! (except for the part where I always make the Nies the Gorons :( ) But like. Hello hello, I'm suddenly dying for tits out/black gloves/fur coat NMJ as the owner of the bar in Castle Town that plays host to the very small group of people/leaders trying to change things in the world for the better. Who flirts nonstop with anyone who walks into his bar. And like if we're going with canon ships for both media with no accounting for the rest of the plot then like. Lan Xichen as Renado instead, the gentle, lonely man with a healing touch and endless reserves of kindness, holding down the fort in his village (maybe raising his young nephew Sizhui, since Renado has a daughter?) who ends up meeting Nie Mingjue later on when he arrives with the injured Zora prince and they're both like O.O oh hello~~

Okay I'm getting off track. On to the non-human races.

Jiangs as Zoras:

Jiang Yanli - Queen Rutela, killed before the story begins. Her spirit guides LWJ to protect her brother, Jiang Cheng, who's been gravely injured on his way to Hyrule Castle.

Jiang Cheng - Prince Ralis. Over the course of the story, Jiang Cheng will heal from his injuries, grieve the loss of his sister, and return home to lead his people in her place.

Nies as Gorons:

Nie Mingjue as the temporary leader of the gorons while his father is locked up inside the mines due to his constant and dangerous rampaging.

Nie Huaisang as an extremely lazy goron who just hangs out down in the hot spring all day in the city below the peak of the mountain, but who for some reason knows everything about everyone and can tell Lan Wangji exactly where to go next at any given time. When Lan Wangji frees Lao Nie, Nie Huaisang moves down into Kakariko Village to run the hot spring down there on top of the inn and be the liaison between Gorons and humans.

Hmmmm that's really it for the non-human Hylian races in this game. The only other one is the Oocca, really, and uhhhhh no 😂 Maybe we'll make Jin Zixuan or Jin Guangyao be Telma. We'll say the Jins were a noble family that used to serve the royal court but fell out of favor with the righteous Lans because of Jin Guangshan's behavior, so now the Jins (&co) occupy various roles in Castle Town:

Su She runs the STAR competition and fucking hates losing to Lan Wangji over and over again, so he makes it harder every time.

Mo Xuanyu as Agitha, weird little dude in frilly clothes and over-the-top makeup in his lolita-esque house collecting something weird (like the golden bugs, but maybe not bugs? Idk I'm not thinking too deeply about the actual game elements here).

Jin Guangyao as Telma, the beautiful and slightly uncomfortable bar owner who's really good at shady deals and knowing everything about everyone in Castle Town, but uses it for the good of the Kingdom because what's Jin Guangshan gonna do about it? He's:

The guy stuck as a golden statue in his house because he got greedy. Enough said. No one’s in a hurry to free him.

Jin Zixuan as ? I don't think I'm missing anybody major in Castle Town except for the fortune teller, but it doesn't really feel right for him. Open to suggestions! Maybe the snooty guy who runs the super expensive shop in the main courtyard that eventually becomes a new Malo Mart if you do the sidequest for it? That would be funny as hell lol.

Back to nonhumans:

Dafan Wen as the Twili:

There aren't really any specific roles within the Twili except for Midna and Zant, already filled by Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang. But we'll say that in some Previous Time, Wei Wuxian was banished to the Twilight Realm with the branch of Wens he was protecting, which was something of a mixed blessing. They were all changed for good, subjected to a world of dying light and their Light forms gone forever, but also - they can't die. They're eternal there in their limbo between worlds, existing gently and quietly, resting but not dead, alive but not. Ghosts but not. Wei Wuxian is extremely protective of them and does everything he can to make sure their existence on the fringes of life is peaceful, which is why it's extra offensive that Xue Yang swept in with stolen magic and ripped it all away from him and is using his beloved people as twisted, monstrous weapons in the world of Light.

Oh also bonus: In Arbiter’s Grounds, the ghost sages would be the Sages from my Ocarina of Time AU! Not that they have a very big role or anything, and not that their personalities from OOT really have any effect on their dialogue in game, but that’s one of my favorite easter eggs in Twilight Princess.

Bonus bonus: The other easter egg that I like being that the dead knight who teaches you special sword moves is supposed to be Link from OOT sticking around as a ghost to teach his reincarnated self, so it would either be an old version of Wei Wuxian teaching the new Lan Wangji, or else I swap it and make it the previous Sheik/Zelda teaching the new hero, their roles swapping around in each reincarnation to suit the needs of the time but one of them is always the hero and one of them is always royalty of some sort.

Okay now I’m actually done byyyyeeee

#the untamed fanfic #wangxian #random idea junk drawer #so called because all these ideas rattle around in my head like pens and shit in a junk drawer #not because i think my ideas are junk #Twilight Princess AU #No title yet for this one either but it feels good to finally get it out of my head a bit #It could use a bit more thought I think but the cast of TP is so unique in that it's actually sort of like...isolated?#Like there's a huge ensemble but they all have such fleeting roles in Link's life #Like the fuckin. The siblings all spread out across Hyrule - your man selling oil in Ordon #The girl who runs the river rapids ride #and the girl who runs the fishing shack. And if you don't pay attention to their dialogue/the photos in the fishing shack/the credits #you'd never know they were siblings #but they all play such tiiiiny parts in the story it wouldn't feel right to give their roles to the juniors or somethign #*something #anyway I digress #I could ramble on about this for an embarrassingly long time but I'll stop there for now
