Finally finished wind waker! Good Game 👍👍👍 I already watched some of the ending cutscenes (because I've been doing linkverse stuff and I need to know how all the games I'm using work lol) but they definitely work best when put together in one cohesive sequence. I didn't actually love either of the Ganon fights, but maybe that's because I was a bit worried about the fact it was quickly becoming 1 am 🤣

In other news, I can see why people like this Ganondorf. I should mention that I am in no way swayed by his little speech, especially with how he treated hyrule and his own people in ocarina of time, but I can sympathize, a bit. And I can see his thought process and how he got here. Basically, while I still do hate him, he's an actually well written villain! I can see how he's justifying his actions as if they're in the greater good instead of just the desperate actions of a man clinging to the power he once had. It's also really cool how he mirrors the king. They both take some pretty dubious actions towards fulfilling their goal, but in the end the king is able to accept the past is gone and stop dragging the children into it with him, while Ganondorf clings to it til the bitter end. And finally, Link and Tetra can stop fighting the battles of people long dead, and move to their futures. I appreciated the theme a lot! And man it felt good to finally see Aryll again! I missed her 🥺🥺🥺 in other notes, rip links poor little face, Ganondorf does not pull his punches

Something that confuses me about Spirit Tracks is the fact that Tetra canonically became the queen of a new Hyrule. It's not that I'm doubting her ability to govern, but ... that's just not who she is.

Her heart has always belonged to the sea.

Even when she learns it to be the fallout from a war long past, a damnation from goddesses she will never care to pray to, that is still her home, and she loves it fiercely. It has given everything she could have ever asked for: a crew that is more of a family to her than a sunken king, of course, Link, her best friend, and, most important of all, adventure. The sea is vast and there are waters still uncharted. She would be a fool to not explore them.

Additionally, one would think the events that transpired in Wind Waker would provide her the wisdom to avoid such politics by rejecting her "divine" right to rule. Even at her young age, she could see for herself how well her ancestors dealt with their problems. It's probably in her best interest not to concern herself with such matters if she can help it.

And what better way to avoid them, than to keep sailing? The sea carries a sort of freedom within it, after all.

Wind’s father figures.

Okay, this is definitely one fic I gotta write when I finish my current one for One Piece:

Before meeting the Chain, Wind has had a total of three people he's considered his dad.

Everyone talks about Linebeck and how he's Wind dad even if he won't admit it, so for now I'll leave him be and focus on the other two.

-First it was his birth father that tragically died when he was 5. He was a famous cartographer from whom Wind inherited his love for the sea and navigation skills.

-Wind's father would tell him the legend of the Hero of Time himself and other stories about his journeys across the Great Sea while they would both stare longingly at the waves.

-When Wind was born, he stopped sailing for some time because he was afriad of leaving his family alone if something happened to him. But when Wind's mother got pregnant with Aryll, the family was suddenly in need of more money.

-It was then that someone offered Wind's father a huge sum for drawing a map to locate the infamous ghost ship of the Great Sea. He took the job because the money would be enough for the family, but he'd have to lie to say he wasn't happy to get back on the waves one more time.

-Wind's father was able to complete the map and even discovered what was the supposed treasure in it's cargo. But before he could tell anyone, he mysteriously died and his map dissappeared.

-Since the map was nowhere to be found, the rich man who commissioned him refused to pay his familiy. This is one of the reasons Wind started to embrace the pirate's life while sailing the Great Sea.

-Wind's mom died when she gave birth to Aryll and so her two children were left to be raised by their grandma.

-During Wind Waker, Wind bonds with the King of Red Lions/King Daphnes

-I imagine King Daphnes as an opposite to King Roahm, but just as tragic and unintentionally harmfull. While Roahm didn't make sure to let Zelda know that he was in her corner, Daphnes innocently put too much pressure in Wind by remaining supportive, but still placing all his hopes in him.

-Think of Shifu's line to Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda, "I loved you too much to realize what I was turning you into. I'm sorry."

-King Daphnes is not only is the first to believe that Wind has the makings of a Hero, he remains his biggest supporter through their journey.

-King Daphnes is the one who teaches Wind how to navigate and sail and Wind is ecstatic to find out he inherited his father's skills as a natural navigator and cartographer.

-He also encourages Wind to explore the Great Sea as he's wanted to his entire life, on the basis that it'll help him become strong enough to face Ganondorf. More importantly though, Daphnes just wants Wind to be as much of a kid as he can be in their situation.

-It's not long before they start to see each other as father and son. Daphnes tells him that, even if the gods thought otherwise, to him he would always be as brave and heroic as any old legend and that he's proud no matter what happens.

-This does become a problem because Daphnes has such belief and pride in Wind that he fails to realize in how much danger he's dragging his boy into. A brave boy, yes. But still a boy who shouldn't have to fight a man's battle.

-Because of that, he never stops to think about persuading Wind to stop and let an adult handle it. Wind would've refused of course, but that conversation between them never happens.

-It's not until Wind's friends start to be chosen one by one to fullfill their duties as Princess and Sages that Wind starts to question Daphnes and the kingdom's importance.

-Makar becoming a Sage is the last straw for Wind and he and Daphnes have a terrible disagreement. In the end, Wind tells Daphnes that he'll keep fighting to save his friends but that he was a fool for getting attached to someone who's just using him.

-That serves as a wake-up call to Daphnes to what he's doing and he starts to wonder if this world would be better off without Hyrule.

-Wind not only discovers his father's ghost ship map but also manages to hunt the ship down and recover the treasure aboard: A piece of the Triforce. He still doesn't find out what truly happened to his father but he's glad that his final work wasn't for nothing in the end.

-His expirience aboard the ship leaves him very shaken, but he still refuses to speak or listen to Daphnes unless necessary.

-When Wind gets appointed as the new Hero Spirit before descending to Hyrule again, Wind no longer feels as excited as he thought he would be in that moment.

-When Daphnes wishes for Hyrule to be drowned, part of him wants to come with Wind to keep raising his boy, if he'll have him. But the other is too weighted down by regret over failing his kingdom before and his son in the present.

-To this day, Wind is still guilt-ridden over saying Daphnes never cared for him. He'd give anything to be able to take it back.

-Wind is very much aware that Daphnes put him and his loved ones in danger and he's conflicted on why he chose to stay to drown. But he can't find it in him to stop missing the King or loving him.

[ppeasants]

they cooked when they came up with 'Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule' and 'King of Red Lions'. like damn it took me forever to find even one name i liked for me, and you were given TWO???

[art-in-progressosoup]

Linktober day 30! Big surprise there but Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game! Even though it's on the easier side at this point it's still very enjoyable and nostalgic~

[mistymandalas]

did you like the king of red lions?

ok, so this has been on my mind for a while now

spoilers for wind waker

like okay so the King is kind of a complex character: the last king of Hyrule who failed his people a lil bit and let of lot of them drown, got turned into a boat, found a child, insulted him a little bit, encouraged him to be a hero and gave him the strength to recuse his sister, supported him throughout his journey and was low-key a father figure to link.

found tetra and whitewashed her, gave her a makeover and left her there to… “protect her” (personally I think she would have been much safer with her pirate crew that would do anything for her but ya know). He called her ‘Zelda’ even though thats… not her name?? Like??? He also sacrificed himself at the end of the game so link and tetra could pave their own future.

ALL THIS TO SAY: did you all like him? Like I know he wasn’t super entertaining as a companion, but his lore was deep, most ppl consider his sacrifice to be incredibly sad, but I’m conflicted.

Hero of Legend: So, I reread this AU last night, and have a slight disagreement regarding Ganondorf. In Wind Waker it's practically stated that it's the same Ganon from OOT because he mentions that his people came from a great desert. A desert whose winds either through scorching days or freezing nights, brought the same thing. Death.

In OOT Ganondorf came to Hryule under the guise of trying to make things better for his people, The Gerudo. In Wind Waker Ganondorf says he tried to bring his people hope by going to Hyrule and negotiating a deal with the King at the time. He even says he coveted the wind fo Hyrule, as it brought something other than death. It brought Life.

In any other circumstance I WOULD agree that it'd be a different Ganon because of The Great Three flooding Hyrule, but Ganon's been shown to survive things that would kill ordinary people.

Combine that with his skill as a sorcerer, it's not outside the realm of possibility that he could survive the flood with the help of the Triforce of Power, which he still possessed.

He even laments the fate that befell both Hyrule and his people, saying that Din, Nayru and Farore destroyed them.

All in all, he's the most relatable Ganondorf. A tired King of a forgotten people, doing his best to set things right this time. Just like the King of Hyrule, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule.

Do not pretend for one moment that a single person at Nintendo cares about the Zelda timeline

King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule (King of Red Lions) from Hyrule Warriors, dressed as Gonzo from the Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker.

I'm getting better at the anatomy of bigger people. He looks a lot less stiff than last time. But he ended up not as large as I wanted, but I'll correct that in the next drawing I do of him.

Late for the Update people Update!: Moving Forward part 3

Just some guy Link from Ordon village! Love how Warriors has so much ammunition to shot against Twilight at this point. Jojo is feeding him so well.

Honorable mentions! Ezlo and The King of Red Lions aka Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule!

(Ezlo is your companion character in Minish

The King of Red Lions is you companion character in Wind Waker)

Honorable mention two! Sheik!!!

(Sheik aka Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time and Hyrule Warriors!)

He looks so sad, give Sky his head pat and tell him he did a good job!

The emotions!!! Winds openness to Twilight being Wolfie muss mean so much to Twilight.

Fours worried, hopefully this two will talk about this in future chapters!

At this point I believe Hyrule just got close to Legend to annoy him. Full on disrespect, not only here, but also when he didn’t let Legend finish his sentence in Dawn pt 5

This is probably the happiest he was ever greeted as a wolf, just to get bullied by Wars. Man will never get peace.

Till we meet again hahahaHa!
