Chapter 3 sneaky peaky:

Heroes Through the Eras

Link Sabellius Blair: Hero of the Light, Slayer of the Arachnid King, The Carver of Tanagar, The Father of Iron. [See the Archives of Legends for list of all details and accolades] Died in the Battle of Finality, in which thanks to his fiery last stand now immortalized in the Breach of Demise, the kingdom successfully defeated and sealed the necrotic forces that long plagued the land.  

Link Ercan Merritts: Hero of Legacy, Voice of the Brave, Slayer of the Mother of Giants, The Bane of Betrayers. Active in both the physical defense of the people as well as in court politics, it was by his hand that many anarchists, terrorists, and monsters alike were defeated, their schemes foiled, and peace within Hyrule maintained. Died of natural causes 

Link Dougal Moore: The Blade Invisible. Most notable for speaking to and for the spirits of the land. Lived a hermit life in Shadow Pass, and took few apprentices. Died of poisoning from an unknown party. 

Link Nellie Aaldenberg: Violent vigilante who frequently fought against the campaigns of Queen Zelda Irene. Wielded an ancient device that shot metal arrows. Sliced two fingers off of Queen Irene in a defending revolt against the Hebra Conquests. Killed by Princess Zelda Kleos.

--- Please revise the manuscript with the noted redactions. Storyhouse is very specific on what it wants. If you send this now as is, you’re just asking to get imprisoned. Please redact the rest. I know it’s direct from the Archives, but still, it’s really not appropriate.  

— Excerpt of an Encyclopedic manuscript recording all known heroes within Hyrule over the last three centuries. Dated 18 years before The Calamity. Attached with letters to Hyrule Royal Storyhouse publishing company. Never published.

okay okay okay my extremely vague @hyrule-kingdom-updates theories before tomorrow, under a cut for SPOILERS because you should really experience this blog as blind as possible:

okay in short I am VERY SUS of Larc which isn’t exactly an original thought but listen, Something Is Going On With Larc

I think there’s a large-ish possibility he was in fact responsible for the first arm-chopping incident which is why Siv doesn’t remember it (although it’s also possible Siv was there at the time and witnessed it)

this is corroborated by the extremely strong vibes I’m getting that Bad Dad Hartell Has Something On Larc. he and Larc both know some secret that no one else does, which would be extremely bad for Larc if it got out. could be I’m just reading too much into Bad Dad’s “I made you” comments but I could also not be!

honestly my initial thought was “holy shit is Arcadius Hartell some kind of false identity?? was there some kind of Twin Switch But They’re Not Twins???” I think that’s a pretty improbable theory because I don’t see how it could have happened when they were teenagers and Siv and the Hylian populace at large be totally unaware of it but I do get the very strong idea that There Has Been Some Kind Of Switcheroo. to paraphrase the words of Brian David Gilbert, “mayhaps some things, perchance, were swapped".

jumping off of this I do think it’s at least a little bit possible that Siv and Larc, like, switched names??? this would be connected to my first theory up there of Larc Did The First Arm-Chopping, and that initially, the first child was named Link Arcadius Hartell because why wouldn’t you give your first child the hero name?? and then Larc’s name was in fact Assivus Hartell for the first 17 years of his life but then he needed a new name after The Incident so his dad gave him his brother’s.

I have absolutely no clue where I’m going with this it would be really really improbable and hard to do but I’m just getting SUCH strong Switcheroo Vibes that I can’t help but be over here gesturing emphatically at my Pepe Silvia Board except all it says is “Mayhaps Some Things Perchance Were Swapped!!”

but then also I’m just really attached to Siv Hartell, Amnesiac Arm-Chopper At Large

idk i’m not good at theorizing and i dont normally do it!!!
