How comes the USA's first reaction to an impending crisis is to hoard shit tickets?

This or That | Week 2 | Twilight Princess | Jewelry and Flower Crown

The flower crown is definitely more obvious, but if you look closely you can see a very particular jewelry I wanted to be sure to include...

Random details I found in Twilight Princess (Wii), Sacred Grove Edition

there's also Faron Woods

Latoan/Ordon

Snowpeak mansion

and Castle Town :>

Sacred Woods

The howling statue at the very start has a Triforce engraved on it, in contrast to all others, which bear the Sheikah eye. It's also the only one that doesn't summon the wolf (only "summoning" Skull Kid out to play instead) ...by using, of all songs, Zelda's Lullaby. What's a random Skull Kid got to do with Triforce stuff (unless it's not just any Skull Kid?)

despite Saria's song playing in the background, there's no actual Lost Woods magic at play here. It's regular, albeit spooky, woods. (Either that, or it does exist, but keeps away from Link.)

LOTS of water here, partially flowing in from higher places, and a good chunk of "tree" textures are actually roots. This includes all walls. (See the Faron post for why I'm insane over water lol)

Said water always seem to roughtly come from the direction of Lake Hylia, which would check out with it (and Zora's domain) being the main source of water for the entire land

you can find fish in the river, including a Hylian Loach in one corner. You know, that super rare legendary fish that can otherwise only be caught at the Fishing Pond during summer season? Yeah, that one

(here's the corner)

you can tell if you're on the right track because you start seeing man-made structures, like torches or a stone archway

you also start finding skulls here

this culminates in one of the big rooms where you fought skull kid a final time. Walls all made of stone and reaching high above, still decorated by thin pillars while the structures inside have long since crumbled down, only a single wall left defiantly standing against its entropy, and if you look at the ground of the very center, you can still faintly make up those stone tiles forming a circle.

In other words: this is Castle Town. The original, Ocarina of Time's Castle Town, that is.

Chamber of Stone

I may be remembering this wrong but iirc, the movable block here is the only one in the game that bears the trifroce symbol on it

The Time Door has letters on it. They say Time Door. It sure is!

It features the Royal Crest, but where normally the Triforce would be, there is instead a circle. (Also, here's an image of oot's time blocks, featuring what zeldawiki calles the "Symbol of Time".)

If you squint real hard, there's what could be mini versions of the Symbol of Time engraved on pillars here, and the staircase got tiny Light Medallions on it

The symbol on those guard guys' stomaches matches that on the dominion rod (and all other statues linked to that type of magic). Except those have a hole in place of the circle for the light orb to sit in.

there's engravings of what could be the 7 sages on some walls, and one of them seems to hold the rod

after completing its puzzle, the guard guys stay in their switches positions. You can compare it to the past version of the chamber inside the Temple of Time, where they haven't been switched yet.

there's engravings on their spots. They translate to "sekizou", aka "sekizō", aka "Stone Statue". Took me way too long, turns out someone else aready did it! Thank you stranger/s! o7

Much like everything else, the guards become visibly weathered between the past and present. They're pristine inside the temple, but outside they're dark gray and covered in moss.

two of the windows in the Master Sword Chamber are actually still fully intact! ...minus the glass. But in any case, the vegetation's not kept outside by walls. If anything, it's through the master sword itself.

the fog around the woods lifts after Link pulls it

and if it's daytime, there's always rays of light shining on the Master Sword's pedestal

I think I'm gonna do all the dungeons as their own post, so that includes the proper temple of time too! But yea, that's all the stuff for the Sacred Grove I could find :D

Echoes of Wisdom Headcanon Countdown

༺ Day 38▪︎ 61 Left

Because of her descent from at least one of the Sages who sealed the dark interlopers away, as well as her descent from Hylia, Princess Zelda has a connection to the Light Spirits in Twilight Princess. She senses every time one falls to the forces of the Invasion, wishing she were in the place to lend them her power. She travels with Link to their springs after the invasion to thank them for them doing so for her in their hour of need. The spirits protect Hyrule from then on, as - between Zelda's deeds and Link's - their bond with mortals has been reforged.

Some random details I found in Twilight Princess (Wii), Snowpeak Mansion Edition

Here's one for Castle Town too :)

the entire mansion is plastered full with this emblem:

Which also shows up in Zeldas room in the castle in HD and I swear I also saw in the final dungeon part of the castle, implying with Ashei's backstory that it would mark the knights of the land. However, interestingly, it doesn't sport a triforce that'd usually mark things as being connected to the royal family.

the vast majority of armor sets you can find here are distinctly not human sized. Way too big, legs too short for the rest of the body, only 3 fingers. Gorons, Lizalfos, Yeti? Incredibly beefed up Zora?? Who knows.

the corners of the giant metal blocks you use for block puzzles made a snowflake. Cute. They also have holes/handles on top, so they might be containers.

hearts don't drop. The only way to heal yourself is via soup. Implies healing magic is cold sensitive...?

the furniture is breakable =)

F1

Entrance Room

Yeto was working on repairing the stairs when Yeta fell ill (links looks so tiny lmao)

The entrance room has a giant hole in the roof which reflects upon ice underneath it, but the reflection lacks the wooden beams, meaning that's technically not a reflection but a hole leading straight down the cliffs (realistically they just goofed modeling it but y'know)

the room also has giant paintings of Queen Rutela and a man who lowkey looks like oot's Rauru. Under the stairs you can find discarded paintings of the Temple of Time door, an obscured one that looks to be the Mirror Chamber entrance, and above the stairs there's a small painting of Hyrule Castle

the entrance of the entrance room is the only place rocking pillars with THIS pattern:

which lowkey look like shadow portals. No clue if that's intentional or just 2006-textures-on-a-too-big-screen-crunch, but yeah

Main Room

the main room's got shelves with books on the lower rows while the upper ones are empty, so either the old owners or Yeta like to read

it also has paintings, of Hyrule castle, what looks to be one of its entrances from a bridge?, the obscured one from before in full view (it's 100% the Mirror Chamber) and...Ordon Goats.

between Ashei, Auru, Rusl, and that emblem, this all implies the Resistance might not exactly be a new thing, or at least similar work isn't to its members

there's an old clock on the wall that stopped at exactly 9:40(?) It only has 8 points, which is 100% just an aesthetic choice but indirectly implies Hyrule Clocks go with 8-16-24 instead of our 12-24

Kitchen

the kitchen area's "table" in the corner is actually a very broken bedframe. Meanwhile the real table still has the fish you gave him on it. There's crates with carrots, potatoes, and onions, plus hanging garlic cloves.

The fireplace got pipes for leading smoke outside, meanwhile the giant stone pot's underneath a modern vent. Like just full on, Five Nights at Freddy's style metal square crawlable vent. Also there's a second giant stone pot thrown into a corner.

Left Armory

room directly to the left of the big round one, full of mainly one handed swords, but also spears, 1 + 2 -handed axes, as well as round + uh, shield-shaped shields. It ALSO has armor. Both the giant one you see everywhere, AND regular human sized armor behind it.

Left corner room

very big and very empty except for banners with the emblem and a few minitables + chairs at the walls. Except they're all placed neatly, so this probably wasn't Yeto but intentional.

South of Left Corner Room

The south connecting room also has that chair - table-table-chair combo at a wall, plus the Time Door and Mirror Chamber paintings. You can also look inside the Left Room through fenced windows, so they were probably a hall and gathering room for whoever those weapons were for?

the torches have giant wooden logs as candles lmao

Courtyard

Canons and canonballs, probably to practice using them more than anything. still, if that wasn't proof this was a fortress idk what else is

Right Armory

right corner room and Main Armory, both weapons and armor. And a canon. Right most corner even got a decayed poster with a canon drawing, and you can even read some of it! "(it just tells you to put balls then bombs into canons to shoot them)

the super decayed room underneath it, got nothing interesting except that its super decayed and barely hangs on via some stilts above a bottomless pit

bottom right spiral stairs

aren't actually stairs! It goes up smoothly, to carry canons up. The wheel on each side of the canon is probably for that. They need 2 to carry forward (1 person just rotates them like Link does)

F2

bottom right spiral not-stairs

There's a canon on top. Y'know those square brick formations on top of fortress walls, where artillery fires from? The canon's in front of a ring of those, they're just frozen shut. Left room's also got this same artillery-tower-half-circle extrusion on the other side.

Given that nothing is on the sides of the mansion, they're most likely there to fend off any flying enemies coming from the mountains

Courtyard (upper balcony parts)

F1's got the middle coutyard and 2 halls on the side. F2 should also be like that, except the walls are broken on both sides, allowing Link to just walk across them.

just like F1, F2 also has a canon in the center. You can point it riiiiight at the walls. Or just leave it where, where it then points at a giant hole in a different wall. Man, I wonder what happened to those.

the vent from the kitchen in F1 continues to the left side of the south wall, and you can see steam from the soup come out of it!

Middle Left room

floor's brokwn in the middle leaving a giant hole, much like other rooms, except this one's sureounded by (human sited) guard rails. Implies the decay of this mansion/fortress might've happened or at least started before its abandonement.

Temple Room

Too Right Corner and straight up just a church-aesthetic temple room, except where the pastor would usually have his pult you instead get a door to another room. This is where you get the stairs up to a stage. Still lacks a pult or anything, any cleric who'd stand here would just, stand here.

Like imagine a church but the cleric side is in its own room and also there's no pult, they just stand there

combined with both the oot and tp Temple of Time layouts also rocking this specific style, this might just be how any temple to the Golden Three look like in these eras

the "cleric room" has lit candles, not wooden logs but the actual, original candles. They're the only lit torches of this floor. (Are they magical? Did they get blessed by Din or something? I mean they are red, as is most decorations here, plus fire would be pretty great in this cold >v<)

Also the banks are gigantic, as in taller than Link. I know Nintendo claims this Link's like 1.40m, but everything else fits his ingame more like ~1.70m size, and even if he somehow really were the size of an actual 10 year old, they'd still be too big. Nah these banks are made for whoever is wearing that giant armor.

F3

Boss room (and the only room)

the door is the only one in this mansion that doesn't have a handle to open them. Instead, it goes up via mechanism, and then closes automatically locking you in every time (even after defeating the boss, which is horrible interior design but can be headcanoned as faulty old mechanisms)

The empty handle that was holding the mirror shard can still be seen on the wall

the reason the area froze over during the bossfight is because her scream in the intro broke all the windows, allowing her to blizzard the room

Other rooms

got nothing interesting going on (that wasn't already mentioned)! :D

[gwyns]

i will never understand how antis say lucien didn't care about feyre or what she was going through. he was literally fighting for her more than she herself was every single time she was in the spring court in the beginning of acomaf
