Wizzro from Hyrule Warriors as the Poes from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I couldn't decide which of the two I wanted to do, so I went with both. Mostly bc big scythe is fun. I think they look pretty cool. The red eye pops well with the mostly blue outfit.

Yeah ik the eye is blue on the alt color, but this looks better idc.

[smartzelda]

Okay okay I'm gonna play Twilight Princess again soon (I can't stay away from it for long) but I need a bit of help

When I play it again I kind of want to challenge myself to do something. Preferably a challenge throughout playing, but one to do during the run is fine as well.

Here's the issue. I've already beat Twilight Princess on every console it came out on. I've beat the cave of ordeals multiple times. I've done a 3 heart run where I beat the cave of ordeals. I've obtained every golden bug multiple times. I've gotten all the poe souls. I've gotten every item in the game and upgrade. I've collected all the stamps in the wii u version. I've collected all the heart containers/pieces of heart, and I beat the cave of shadows and set things up so I could have a full set of heart containers for wolf link if I scan my amiibo into breath of the wild. I even performed multiple glitches on both the wii u and gamecube versions of the game, including following my favorite speedrun for Twilight Princess from beginning to end.

So...does anyone have any other challenge ideas?😅

[hugsandchaos]

hi hello, it meeeee- idk what the Danny Phantom and Linked Universe thing on ur page is, buT I am intrigued by it, so like. would u be okay to explainnnn?

Of course!!

So you know the Legend Of Zelda games, right? Some of the games have differences in the timelines, and they’re not all one after the other. Now all the main heroes of the games are a hylian man named “Link”, and Linked Universe is a fanmade story that stems from the question “What would happen if the Links went on an adventure together?”, and even if you don’t know a lot about Legend of Zelda yet, I suggest looking at @ linkeduniverse’s comics and art to get a better understanding of their characters.

Now all of them are named “Link”, so to keep things simpler between them, they all have a nickname based on their Hero Title — which in the story is thought to be given to them by Fi, but in reality is based on their games. For example;

Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess — Link from this game is nicknamed “Twilight”

Legend of Zelda Wind Waker — Link from this game is “Wind”

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword — this Link is nicknamed “Sky”

And from Legend of Zelda Breath Of The Wild, we have ourselves a Link nicknamed “Wild”

That’s only four, but there’s nine in total; Twilight, Wind, Sky, Wild, Four, Time, Warriors, Hyrule, Legend, and Hyrule

For a bit of backstory, the events in the game Skyward Sword are hinted to be the very beginning of this fanmade timeline, where Sky fought against a being with god-like reality warping powers named Demise. Once defeated in the game, he curses Sky’s bloodline. He says that he’ll return to fight his descendants, over and over, they’ll suffer. This, along with other context clues, are what lead us to believe that Sky was the first in this fanmade timeline.

Since the games are a bit… broken up in timeline and there seems to be no real canon timeline for all of the games, here’s what the creator of Linked Universe has laid out for us to explain why there seems to be a branching in the timeline.

Incase you don’t know, LoZ has three extremely powerful artifacts; The Triforce. They’re broken into three pieces; Courage, Power, and Wisdom. One of the Links, Time, broke the Triforce of Courage into eight pieces in order to somehow save his world, but in shattering such an ancient and powerful object, the timeline branched out into what we assume to be three main lines.

Now, LoZ doesn’t exactly have ghosts except for in Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, both of which happen after the events of Wind Waker, meaning that Wind would have the most experience with the paranormal. Except he didn’t exactly fight all of them? I don’t know every little detail, unfortunately.

Moving on, the LoZ games tend to have a few ghost-like enemies, the most common being a Poe. Knowing this, I thought it’d be really fun to see Danny with the Links! I typed them both in and looked it up to try to find crossover content, but I was FLOORED when I found none! Like, there’s absolute geniuses in both fandoms that love to hurt their favorite characters, and none of y’all have even bothered to make any Danny Phantom x Linked Universe?! Do y’all not see the potential here?!

*Shakes head in disappointed plague doctor*

So I took matters into my own hands and now we have this!

Again, I highly recommend checking out the comic if you want more context and understanding of Linked Universe.

Hello! Take your time & enjoy family bonding! X3

But when you do get the time, following the Gibdo ask, I do think that if the individuals had specifically consented to the use of their body in order to continue serving the Dorfs in death, like I very much do see the Yiga doing as such, she'd be much less starkly opposed to that.

Like, yes, she'd still be very extremely uncomfortable with it, but at the very least, it'd be their choice to do so.

It's like being an organ donor. Like, "Oh! Are you saying I could help somebody else by saying I'm a donor? Well, it isn't like I'll be using my organs anymore. Go ahead. If they need it, then cool!"

But, if they hadn't chosen to do that explicitly, it'd be a huge violation.

This tends to compound with what I've stated before about Sheikan culture about how lingering regrets, resentment, grudges, can corrupt spirits, thus preventing them from moving on. And, one major thing that can do as such is not being given proper burials & the like.

It's part of how Poes come into existence. Even the especially powerful ones. Beings like Bongo-Bongo & Big Poes come into existence in a similar way. Which, yes, he can very well use Poes (Imp Poes being some of the absolute worst) & other such ghostly entities to do his bidding, but not if he is the direct source of their resentment. In such cases, they're liable to pursue him into eternity if he isn't careful.

So, like, if those Gerudo (in the case of Gibdos) had given their explicit consent, then weird, but their decision. She's not liable to freak out too terribly much over that & is more likely to just get that squick feeling from them.

It's the use of the bodies that hadn't consented that would get her ire.

Still horrifying. I remember watching a friend play Ocarina of Time and being terrified of the Redeads and Gibdos. Mmmm... Not fun.

************************************************************************

Here’s how the Ganondorfs and Demise might react to Nemma’s explanation and reaction to the use of Gibdo bodies, especially in the context of consent and the spiritual consequences in Sheikan culture:

Wind Waker Ganondorf

Reaction: Wind Waker Ganondorf might listen to Nemma’s explanation with a mix of interest and frustration. He’s not particularly sentimental, but he’s not heartless either. The idea of consent, especially in the afterlife, might strike him as a quaint notion, yet he would respect it to a degree if it meant maintaining a stable rule over his followers.

Response:

"If they chose to serve me even after death, then I see no issue. Their loyalty is commendable, even if it’s unsettling to you. But those who didn’t make that choice… I’ll consider your concerns. After all, the dead serve better when they don’t rise against their master."

Ocarina of Time Ganondorf

Reaction: Ocarina of Time Ganondorf would be more pragmatic and calculating in his response. He values power and control, so while he might see the value in maintaining the loyalty of those who consented to serve him after death, he might dismiss the idea of seeking consent as a weakness, unless it directly impacts his control over the spirits.

Response:

"Consent from the dead? A curious notion. But I suppose the willing are more reliable than the resentful. Still, if power is to be had, I won’t shy away from using it. Your discomfort is noted, but I am not one to be swayed by such things. However… if it means avoiding a horde of vengeful spirits, I will be... cautious."

Twilight Princess Ganondorf

Reaction: Twilight Princess Ganondorf might actually appreciate the explanation more than the others, as he has a deeper connection to the darkness and the consequences of actions. He might see the logic in avoiding the creation of vengeful spirits, especially if it complicates his plans. However, he would still prioritize his goals over anything else.

Response:

"The spirits of the dead can be troublesome if left to fester. Your culture’s understanding of the afterlife is intriguing. I will ensure that those who serve me in death do so willingly—if only to avoid the inconvenience of their wrath. But know this, Nemma: I do what is necessary, regardless of comfort."

Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf

Reaction: Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf is a force of nature, driven by conquest and domination. While he might acknowledge Nemma’s concerns, he’s more likely to dismiss them as inconsequential in the grand scheme of his ambitions. However, if he sees a strategic advantage in respecting the consent of his followers, he might reluctantly incorporate it into his plans.

Response:

"The dead are tools, just like the living. But I see your point—resentment breeds rebellion, even among the spirits. I’ll consider your… traditions. If it ensures the loyalty of my forces, then so be it. But do not mistake my consideration for weakness."

Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf

Reaction: Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf, with his connection to ancient and mystical forces, might have the most nuanced response. He understands the delicate balance between life and death, power and consequence. While he’s not one to shy away from using the dead, he would recognize the wisdom in respecting the wishes of those who serve him, especially if it avoids creating powerful enemies in the afterlife.

Response:

"You speak of the balance between the living and the dead, a balance I am well acquainted with. If it is the will of my followers to serve me even in death, I will honor that. But those who do not… their defiance in death could be more troublesome than their loyalty in life. Very well, I will heed your warning, Nemma. The dead shall serve me willingly, or not at all."

Demise

Reaction: Demise would likely be the least receptive to Nemma’s concerns. As a being of pure malevolence and destruction, he cares little for the concepts of consent or the afterlife beyond how they can serve his ends. He’s more likely to view her concerns as trivial, but if he sees that her discomfort could impact her usefulness to him, he might begrudgingly consider her perspective.

Response:

"You concern yourself with the wishes of the dead? How quaint. The strong command, the weak obey, even in death. But if it is the will of my servants to continue their service, so be it. If their spirits resent me… they will be crushed like all who oppose me. Your discomfort is irrelevant, but if it hinders your loyalty… I may tolerate your traditions."

Each Ganondorf and Demise would approach Nemma’s concerns from their unique perspectives, with varying degrees of consideration and respect for her viewpoint. While some might see the value in avoiding the wrath of vengeful spirits, others might view her concerns as secondary to their own power and ambitions.

*Busts down the door wild eyed at an ungodly hour* Hi hello remember the Ghirahim-Majora theory I mentioned a while back and the repeating cycles that lined up with Sky’s adventure? I have been violently made aware of how Skull Kid kinda does the same in Twilight Princess with his and Time’s adventure in Termina. Like…his face looks like The Moon and the puppets have been pointed out to vaguely resemble the Giants(Head in center of body with limbs coming out) and we know for certain that Twilight had to go there three times during his adventure: The first in a *permanently altered form* trying to find the key to return back to normal and the second one is to continue on his quest in his human form while repeating the same game all over again from the beginning with Skull Kid. And then we see in the ending that Twilight did eventually come back a *third* time to put the Master Sword to rest again and end the journey so to speak. Not to mention that the key to making it through, and “healing” Twilight the first time, is to follow a song? I don’t think it comes from a place of pain like Majora’s cycle tho I’m sure the longing for fun days in the forest with a certain time traveling child was absolutely a motivator by Skull Kid along with using what he remembered of their time back then to help this strange creature that reminded him so much of that kid too.

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUH YOU'RE A GENIUS

i know it's been forever but like. DUDE you're so right, i can see it

I've also heard a theory that the light in SK's lantern from TP is Oot link's soul, since poes usually carry lanterns like that to protect their souls. The idea of Oot Link becoming such good friends with SK after Majora's Mask and then trusting him enough to protect his soul (especially since he's still in the game as the Hero's Shade) is just so cool to me. the poes in any game, but particularly TP, carry around their own lanterns and protect them with literal scythes, but who's to say they just don't trust anyone else to protect themselves? anyway, YES the idea of this new cycle perpetuated by Skull Kid, but in a more friendly, playful manner is juat *chef's kiss*

[deductionfreak]

I'm not about to claim Twilight Princess is a masterpiece, but its special to Me and I recently replayed it for a few gaffs and such. I actually didn't struggle as much as I thought in that escort segment, which was the only one I had a real sour experience with when I was younger. Probably because when I was younger I was dumb enough to miss that I could, in fact, lock onto targets with ANYTHING. I was manually targetting shit even vs Argoroc for fuck's sake. Trying to manually shoot down that stupid bird with the stupid bomb in the escort mission was a Nightmare (<-to note, I've only ever played this game on the Gamecube, so it's that specific control scheme).

Anyway, mainly I'm posting about it because I was thinking about that section of the game where everyone in the village is mourning the kids and doing their best to find them. But most importantly, when you find the kids again that you can go back to Ordon and tell everyone the good news yourself. Idk. It fucks. I don't know why some people fucking hate the kids from Ordon and their parents, it was a good segment To Me.

I will say my only actual complaint on this replay is I cannot see which Poes I have already beat the tar out of, so finding this last one I'm missing is driving me insane.

Voices of the Past

*Arbiter's Grounds*

"Awaken youth of the Twilight."

Your eyes remained clamped shut as a voracious pain consumed your muscles. When you finally managed to open them, you saw six billowy silhouettes peering down at you.

Their eyes were lifeless slits from where you lie. The more you observed, the more it dawned on you that they actually had no eyes. Only hollowed-out scoops where eyes should have been. No wonder they looked lifeless. It's because they were. That's when a terrifying thought nabbed you.

"Goddesses, I've died!" You sat up straight, your spine tingling with fright. You attempted to stand, only to feel your limbs rustle with dead air.

You were levitating.

"I've died? I'm dead! Am I dead?" You folded your hands together in prayer. You began to bow to the vestiges of souls that floated above you. As you bowed, your back made a startling crack. "Wait, how can my body crack if I'm dead? Shouldn't I feel nothing at all? Isn't that what it means to cease to exist? An exodus from suffering?"

You began to frantically wrestle with the air around you. You flapped your arms and kicked your legs hysterically. "Wait! Link! Is Link alright?! That creature attacked him many times. Has he bled to death? Please tell me Link has at least survived!" You felt your throat choke on a sob.

"Goddesses, even in death, I still manage to shed tears. I-"

"Fear not, youth of the Twilight. The hero is well. It would take much more to kill him. As it would you. You are very much alive." One of the voices moaned above you, bringing to attention six spirits cornering you. Were they even spirits? They could be poes, yet something about their stoic reserve made them not quite ghoulish enough to be considered poes.

You began to gently float towards the ground. As you descended, another spirit chimed in. "Stand on your two feet. See for yourself. You are in the mirror chamber." As your feet steadied on the ground beneath you, you turned to see the broken frame that once held the Mirror of Twilight. Fragmented energy buzzed around it in the forms of a holographic Midna, Link, and Zelda. You slowly proceeded forward, watching the spectral play in front of you.

Their mouths moved, but no sound could be heard. You saw Midna blow a kiss toward Link. A single teardrop flew from her eye. Ah, you knew what would happen next. It was odd to see Midna cry. It never made sense to you. If Midna could cry, then couldn't she feel? Was she able to feel all along? Could all the Twili feel? Is that what Midna's mission was? To expose them to emotions? Then they could be more like their light-inhabitant counterparts. If dusk is the representation of twilight in the realm of light; what was the representation of light in their realm? There was no dawn in their realm. And so, it wasn't something you could physically see, but something you could feel. 

Feelings. It must be.

You felt like you were on the brink of a monumental discovery until you saw Midna's tear gravitate towards the mirror. This is where the mirror breaks, sealing their realm off from the light. Everything was playing out in accordance with what you knew. Until you noticed another tear on Midna's cheek, subtly trickle down, allowing her to stealthily catch it with her left hand.  As she vanished through the mirror, there was one last tear. Only it wasn't on Midna's face.

It was on Zelda's.

"The shard... this isn't a shard of the Mirror of Twilight. These are tears. Tears of the princesses." You couldn't believe what you had just witnessed. You also couldn't believe that yet again, you found Midna intertwined with another lie.

"Indeed. The Mirror of Twilight has been destroyed. The tears of Princess Zelda and Princess Midna act as seals for each realm. These seals are necessary to fight off the missing pieces of fused shadow."

Before you could concede with more questions, another spirit cut in. "Child of Zant the Usurper. Zant the mad. You have come to save your realm. To destroy the fused shadow that resides within you. To be a hero."

Well, now I'm convinced I'm dead. You stared up at the six figures. Each one was perched atop a column. The columns extended up against the backdrop of the blackened sky, emblazoning their phantasmic silhouettes. "Forgive me, but may I ask who you are?"

They said nothing, almost as if you should know the answer to your own question. Then you remembered Princess Zelda and her command. "The voices of the past will have words for the future."

Wait a second; these are the voices of the past. The six sages. The ancient protectors of the Mirror of Twilight. It's only natural that they would continue to protect each realm, respectively.

"You are the sages," you bowed in reverence once more. "Thank you for your dedication all these centuries to protecting our realm. I ask, are you certain the hero you mean to call upon isn't Link?"

"The Hero of Twilight will continue to fulfill his duty with each passing breath. That is his destiny. As you, daughter of the usurper, will continue to uphold yours. Deep within you is a fused shadow passed down through your bloodline. Sometimes a hero's calling isn't to save a land and its citizens; but to vanquish the evil within themselves. For your next assignment, you must go to the Temple of Time. Consult with Princess Zelda to break the seal that has been recast on the Rod of Dominion. You will also find an Oocca to assist you on this next leg of your journey."

Their appearances began to crackle beneath the weight of the stars. They were fading away.

You began to internally compartmentalize the information you just received. You reached your hand up into the sky, pleading them not to leave. "Please, wait! I have so many questions! How do I destroy the fused shadow within myself? Is there more fused shadow that we will need to face in the future? How do I keep the shadow within me at bay? Why did you call him Zant "the mad?" Please!" You shouted up at them. Your voice echoed in desolation around the barren colosseum.

"All will be revealed." One of the sages groaned before succumbing to his dwelling amongst the vast sky. One by one, the other sages followed suit. One sage remained; he held his hand up as he imparted one last statement. "The Hero of Twilight has found you. Has found..." The sage's body dissipated midair. His hand still held upward, as if he were hanging on to a star that kept him grounded in this realm. The hand slowly began to evaporate.

"Has found what?!" You shouted. You began to circle in place, gazing up at the expansive galaxy above you. You continued to holler. "What has he found? Please! What has Link found?!"

With a sky full of stars, in a colosseum of ghostly residents, beneath the obscurity of clouds of rolling darkness...

Once again, you stood alone.

A/N: Edited 1/22/23

It seems you have been saved, with a distinct set of instructions. The next part of your journey will take place in the Temple of Time.

Reclaim the Rod of Dominion and meet with the Oocca, who will assist you from there. The stipulations given are straight-forward; but how to purge the fused shadow within you is not.

The Realm of Twilight has always spoken of a great hero; will the Realm of Light challenge your idea of what a hero is?

Or will it serve to reinforce it?

poe from Twilight Princess

An Imp Poe from Twilight Princess, my favorite Zelda, I love the Dark aesthetic of that game is so beautiful 🖤

Z64, Skulltula, Bosses, the truth of Dark Link

The Golden Skulltulas are never elaborated upon. They're a curse given to a family in Kakariko Town, and unless 100 Golden Skulltulas are defeated, the entire family themselves will also become Skulltula.

Is this the same curse Ganon inflicted on the tribes Hyrule? Did his dark influence turn people--into monsters?

To truly understand this, we need to review the bosses of Z64. To start, lettuce take a look at King Dodongo. He has the face of a Goron, rolls around like a Goron, and eats rock... Like a Goron.

Remember the Skulltulas? Who look and act like humans, but also... Like spiders? This seems too familiar...

But who are the other bosses?

Well Queen Gohma, The game suggests she's related to the mad Deku scrubs somehow... But with how they, the Kokiri, and the Skull Kids are connected but not... It's hard to really nail down.

Barinade seems to literally be a Giant Heart. Jabu Jabu's heart, specifically.

But what if the adult timeline bosses?

Phantom Gannon seems to be a Skull Kid specifically... In fact, the entire dungeon seems to be foreshadowing of the ordeals Link must face.

[Bandit Games] did a video on this idea that the Sister Poe's, were *actually* the sister sages. And part of that video inspired this.

I, on the other hand, think that the poe sisters are ACTUALLY just the Kokiri. And Phantom Gannon, either Skull Kid, or Mido.

Who is Fado? The question always asked about Zelda. It's Meg. But look closer at Meg's face, the spider-y skulltula-y evil-looking smile.

Referring back to the Bandit Games video, if the sisters aren't the sages, then who or what are they depicting? Well... The return to the forest is essentially "returning to your roots". And, knowing Link would possibly return, they set up this first temple, who Saria is the boss of.

Or imprisoned. Or. Phantom Gannon.

There are six sages, the first of which Raru has already met. And in the forest temple are 5 Poe's. The 4 sisters, and P.G. this says two things, one, Link must defeat 5 Temples.

Defeating the boss at the end releases the Sage.

But at the very end, after defeating *all* the shades(phantoms, or sages), you'll need to defeat Gannon.

We see this repeated again with Nabooru, who was imprisoned as an iron knuckle. And then you also need to defeat Twinrova. Or, Elder Gerudo. Potentially also Ganondorf's lesbian Mothers.

The video pointed out one thing I had not considered before. Dark Link is created from Link himself. Meaning; that this boss is indeed Link. Unlike the other Sages however; Link defeats his own shade instead of succumbing.

Speaking of evil children. Morpha, which looks like a Super Metroid power suit upgrade, also looks like something else. A tainted Zora egg. Without the glowy red enemy indicator, it looks exactly like the eggs that Link collects in Majora's Mask.

What is this then?

Gohma:spider-mom, Twinrova:Mother of Demise, Morpha: Ruto Egg.

That leaves two: Impa, and Daruna.

4 sisters and a Brother.

But here's the thing; Gorons all look like males to Hylians and call each other brother and use male pronouns for each other. But Daruna had a child that he named Link

5 sisters.

So that leaves the mini-bosses heretofore uncovered: Lizolfos, Big Octo, Flare Dancer, White Wolfos, Dead Hand, And 4 other Iron Knuckles.

Big Octo was probably what was actually causing Jabu Jabu's indigestion.

Flare Dancer can be only one person: The Scarecrow. He does not appear in the future at all. And, looks like a scarecrow on fire.

Hmm ... What else does this look like? Enemies from the dark world ala A link to the Past. Does that mean the "Dark World" is actually a Dark Future corrupted by Ganon and Demise? Or is it the power of the dark realm sleeping through, and warping people like what happened in Twilight Princess?

What is really upsetting to me however... Is Dead Hand's appearance... Doesn't he look like a salesman of sorts...? An... Unhappy... Mask Salesman?

This is the duality of Link:

Skulltula Slayer, and Skulltula Curse Breaker.
