#all the theme songs are zelda

[antispopausandstuff]

my SPOP universe pt. 1 - character bios ( very long, i'm sorry )

.

disclaimer // note - it'll be SPOP-focused, but i do take a 'few' things from the original show and implement them here.

preferred style(s) - ATLA // LOK, ROTTMNT, LMK ( s1-s4 ), Spiderverse, or Kill la Kill

( part of the reason for these styles is the VFX, battle coordination, and creature // environmental design, esp with vibrant media like Spiderverse, ROTTMNT, and LMK )

.

theme song - something akin to "The Call" by League of Legends or "The World That Ends in Three Days" by Koji Kondo, ROZEN, & Celica Soldream.

rating - PG-15 ( i'm not a writer for young children and don't handle things in a very kid-friendly way )

note - here's some gender // sexuality hcs of the characters, though it isn't all of them.

.

established changes:

the runestones don't exist

the cast is 18+ unless stated otherwise

roles will be changed for plot relevance or sense ( for ex, neither perfuma, entrapta, scorpia, spinerella, or netossa are royals )

the first ones are not evil

mara and adora are the only she-ras

most ships will remain noncanon

there's no white people here, sorry

.

cast ( pt. 1 ) . . .

Adora - Long Lost Princess of Eternia, Force Captain ( former ), Daughter of Hordak and Shadow Weaver, and She-Ra. 20 yrs old, 5'0, was abducted as an infant, from her home planet, and taught to be a solider for the Horde. raised by Shadow Weaver and Hordak ( it's separate care, not romantically coded ). unofficial caretaker of Catra.

she was raised to be very serious and no-nonsense like, always remaining calm and strategic in drastic situations to prevent the worst case scenario. due to this built-in stoicism, along with other factors, Adora struggles with interpersonal relationships and knowing her own sense of self, including what she is or isn't comfortable with ( such as unnecessary conflict ).

before She-Ra is even a possibility, the weight of the world was already bestowed upon her shoulders, and she sets on carrying out her duty to protect the world from those who wish to harm it.

beneath it all, however, Adora is a young woman who desires connection and peace. she secretly hopes for that to be her reward.

design would be inspired by Cal, Zav 1, Zav 2, Zav 3, and Fern ( blue guy ) by animatorroseoak, Midas by sleeepybacon, and with these details by me! outfit color palette would go from black and red to white, gold, and blue. just to clarify, though she is mythical, she'd still be afro-latino coded.

theme song - Song of Healing by The Marcus Hedges Trend Orchestra

-

Glimmer - Princess of Brightmoon, Daughter of Queen Angella and King Micah, and Leader of the Rebellion. 19 yrs old, 5'6, was raised by her widowed mother ever since she was an infant. due to her lineage, she is a demigod and will likely live longer than the average Etherian.

ever since she was born, Glimmer's powers were too great for her body to handle, causing her to lose control very quickly, especially when her emotions were heightened. Angella brought her to Castaspella, her aunt and the greatest sorceress on Etheria, to teach her control and balance.

Glimmer has always been a bright mind with an even brighter personality, striving for excellence and success, and has never let her misfortunes, whether it be her powers going haywire or a plan not going through, weigh on her. at least, that's what she shows to her people and mother.

but, on the inside, she is actually very insecure over her lack of understanding of her own powers, what her mother thinks of her, and how she can handle being future Queen. afraid of change and what fate could hold for her, Glimmer is avoidant of talking about her upcoming role to Brightmoon, seeing Castaspella again ( they haven't talked in years ), or taking a break from her leadership in the Rebellion.

design would be inspired by Ube by kleahvii, Mika by kienan_lafferty, Marlowe & Buwa by sleeepybacon. high focus on the astral theming, with minor details of the angelic theme. i imagine her with either pinkish blonde hair or black hair with pink and blue ombre streaks. her species would be a hybrid of elf ( Micah ) and chimera ( Angella ).

theme song - Termina Field by Koji Kondo & ROZEN

-

Bow - Guardian of Whispering Woods, Friend of Madame Razz, Best Friend of Princess Glimmer's, Son of George and Lance, and Co-Leader of the Rebellion. 20 yrs, 6'0, is a runaway from home after a particularly bad argument ensued between himself and his family. he is a pacifist and uses his archery to assist, not to cause harm ( or, at least, irreversible harm ).

his reasons for running away aren't exactly known, even to Glimmer herself, and he always gives half-truths or not-necessarily-lies to anyone who asks about his family and history. but he is very open about his beliefs, his current living situation ( currently resides in the Whispering Woods ), and how he feels.

as the Rebellion's mechanic and stealth strategist, Bow uses his technological intelligence and creativity to aid his allies. he's proven time and time again to be reliable, intuitive, and thinking of just about everything. whether or not that's a good thing.

in contrast to his secrecy, Bow is open-minded, well-meaning, and has a very strong belief in kindness. after living in the Whispering Woods on his own for a few years, and experiencing hardships unbeknownst to anyone else, he aims to be the example for others that people weren't for him.

design would be inspired by Jequ and Agnes by dewfroq, and Earth-42 Miles Morales in Across The Spiderverse. i think i want to make him a cyborg-type of character.

theme song - Goron Lullaby by The Marcus Hedges Trend Orchestra

-

Angella - Queen of Brightmoon, Mother of Princess Glimmer, Widowed Wife of King Micah, and Angel of Etheria. 47(?) yrs old, 7'5, her exact origins are unknown, even to her daughter. some speculate that she was born from a star or moon, others guess she is from a different dimension entirely. the only one who even had an idea was the late King Micah.

benevolent, calm, and wise, Angella has been Queen for longer than she has been anything else. in some ways, she considers that a blessing. in others, she considers it a curse. accepting her fate decades ago, the pain has dulled enough to be barely noticeable.

though most don't know it, she has lived way longer than almost any of the Etherians, having experienced more than the Horde's genocide and eventual war. maybe even the universe beyond Despondos.

her abilities align, though not rely on, with the moons and stars, especially with specific constellations. but, as Despondos has a lack of those constellations ( and there are much less stars in the sky ), Angella has not reached her full power in decades.

it's only to Glimmer that she shows her true self, the self that is curious, easily endeared, and overall heartful and passionate, which is a stark contrast to the all-knowing, mysterious, powerful being that is the Queen of Brightmoon. because of this, her daughter has a hard time explaining to others that her mother isn't as stonewalled as she appears.

design would be inspired by Lucifer by fourleafisland, Sera by idolomantises, and Lifegiver and Sold Adopt Design by sleeepybacon. she is a flight-based chimera that has a lot of astral and angel theming, with her facial features obscured by a secondary, smaller set of wings.

theme song - Song of Time by The St. Louis Ocarina Trio

-

Hordak - Emperor of the Fright Zone, Father of Adora, The 'Big Boss'. 55 ( appearance wise ), 6'7, his origins are about as unknown as Angella's. it's unknown if he even likes or dislikes to discuss it, as no one has dared to ask him about his life before the Horde.

having brought Etheria to its knees decades ago, Hordak is easily bored or disinterested in his surroundings, often indulging himself in sadism for entertainment. however, he does have a soft spot for his children, Imp and Adora, and finds enjoyment in their company.

when She-Ra comes around, he isn't all that irritated. in the beginning, at least. in fact, he's rather riveted by the new challenge. discovering her identity, however, made all the difference. now, he constantly has to pick between being a father and being an Emperor.

design would be inspired by Fei by cronchy_baguette, Jacks by par0llel, Unnamed OC by crazycomet107, and Miguel O'Hara Illustration by sairasays. his design would definitely be a mix of cyborg and beast, lots of predator and prey metaphors.

theme song - Elegy of Emptiness by The Marcus Hedges Trend Orchestra

-

Shadow Weaver - Sorceress of the Fright Zone, Second In Command, Mother of Adora and Catra. 50(?), 5'11, was raised in the Crimson Waste, but ran away and became a student in Mystacor at a young age. after obtaining the dark arts, however, she was banished and considered a freak of nature. soon after, she was found by Hordak.

the 'freak of nature' title didn't leave, however. rather, Shadow Weaver had to embrace it in order to become immune, using her dark magic to protect and provide for herself and whatever or whoever she needs to succeed or gain power.

she keeps most, if not all of her relationships at arms length, paranoia and trust issues running deep. though this doesn't exclude her daughters, Adora and Catra, it's less so with them. even if it's for separate reasons.

after Adora turned on the Horde, this instilled Shadow Weaver's already unstable mindset and kicked it into overdrive. obsessive, aggressive, and erratic in behavior, she eventually becomes a danger to herself and others.

design would be inspired by Peter Pan & Captain Hook Illustrations by sairasays, The Heads and The Witch by kelpible, and Arek ( 3rd form ) by sleeepybacon. her design would be parallel to her life as Light Spinner.

theme song - Midna's Theme by Monsalve

-

Catra - Cadet of the Horde ( former ), Force Captain, Daughter of Shadow Weaver. 19 yrs, 5'7, was abducted as a toddler and taught to be a solider, though succession rates are varying. she was originally born in a Kingdom, but her memories are limited and she's rather uninterested ( or unmotivated, it's not clear ) in finding out where she's from.

as she was raised by Shadow Weaver, Catra became an odd mix of codependent, lazy, defiant and aggressive, borderline sadistic, obsessive, and jealous, driving away most people, which only solidified her unhealthy relationships.

once Adora left the Horde, she was no better than her mother, in terms of mental decline, and it was part of the reason why she became Force Captain. unofficially speaking.

design would be inspired by Eralisto by animatorroseoak, Bacon 1 and Bacon 2 by sleeepybacon, Cairo by cronchy_baguette, and Elliot by spam0_llel. i like to think her design becoming more and more feral // unhinged as she develops.

theme song - Majora's Mask by Koji Kondo & ROZEN

-

Scorpia ( Lynda ) - Force Captain, Ex-Warrior of the Crimson Waste, Sister of Octavia, Harbinger of Poison. 21 yrs, 6'3, a fighter with a tough exterior, but a gentle soul. once she gets to know you, anyway. in her time in the Horde, she has formed a bond with Octavia and knew of Catra and Adora, but hadn't met them personally until Catra becam Force Captain.

after running away from the Crimson Waste after killing the leader, Scorpia was recruited by Hordak for her strength and poison // paralytic touch. though, it wasn't exactly like she had a choice.

when meeting Catra, the two were at arms-length for a while, with Scorpia being a little off-put by the other's intensity in bringing Adora back. but, somehow, they eventually become friends. as much as they could be, anyway, considering the circumstances.

design would be inspired by Gora ( tall, dark-haired goliath ) by pen.lilixeesketche and Tora and Gabu by par0llel. i read up the original character's details and decided to have kind of a 'mish-mash' of the original and reboot ( not quite, though ).

theme song - Bolero of Fire by Giulio Capone

-

Entrapta ( Es'Tra ) - The Fae of Entanglement, Lady of Dryll, Heart of Technology. Late 40s ( forgot specific age ), 4'10, works for the Horde as their technician, isolated and muted, but finds comfort in the Emperor's company. when he has time for that.

no one really knows why or how she got there, but it's evident that she's chronically exhausted and has a habit of becoming hostile with those who don't respect her space ( it's how she met Catra one on one ). when she's in a better mood, however, she's more likely to talk, but not guaranteed, and shows to always have more knowledge than anyone would expect.

in the rare instances she's completely happy, Entrapta is very friendly, engaging, and there's an increased percentage she'll share technology // technological-know-how with you.

design would be inspired by Bitten Lady and Faubron by animatorroseoak, Eris by boots.oc, and Remi by par0llel. lots of plant cycle symbolism in her environments and hair.

theme song - Song of Storms by ROZEN

-

Double Trouble ( Rebekk ) - Diamond of Mischief, Multi-Mask, Fae of Deceit. Early 20s ( exact age is unknown ), 5'11, a busybody that absolutely hates the Horde, which helps them not give a damn about anything more than bare minimum privacy, and who also happens to be Glimmer's cousin, adopted by Castaspella.

when they're not busying spying on the Horde, Double Trouble spends time working on their own plays and shows or trying to play around with their peers, being a generally needy person that craves attention and validation. it's not hard to make them happy, though. usually, a simple compliment makes their entire day.

none of their family knows of their work, though. and they'd like to keep it that way.

design would be inspired by Rue by lizard_b.rain, Thraniavas by spidertams, Cantaluse by animatorroseoaks, and Original Character Animation by kelapabiru. a random design tidbit that doesn't really matter, i like to think their hair is dyed blonde, but they have brown // black roots.

theme song - Minuet of Forest by Giulio Capone

.

not all of the character biographies, not even close, but i'm currently working on pt. 2 as we speak, so that'll be out soon! probably will have a pt. 3 and pt. 4, though, there's a lot to go through.

thank you for reading! this and pt. 2 took forever.

[hyah-through-hyrule]

I adore that Nintendo went, "hey, this song from Wind Waker? The Molgera theme? What if we took that and made it serve more cunt than it already did."

[prompt-master]

My toxic trait is that I loved like. every single shitty hated old school video game cartoon

[curiouscrux]

Sure, Tears of the Kingdom has some really interesting speedrunning potential, creative new combat options, and fixes for general criticism after the first game...

But will they match the emotional impact of completing the storyline for Kass?

[muchmossymess]

The legend of zelda series is just full of banger music, so I am sharing some of the ones that go the hardest:

Gerudo Valley Theme (Ocarina of Time)

Molduga Battle Theme (Breath of the Wild)

Song of Storms/Windmill Hut Theme (Ocarina of Time)

Molgera Theme (Windwaker)

Vah Naboris Battle Theme (Breath of the Wild)

Please feel free to add more!

!! Saw this super cool toy at walmart! I love that it's supposed to be look like a gameboy!

big shoutout to my middle school music teacher whose contribution to my truly obnoxious Obsessed With Ocarina Phase was to teach me how to double-tongue

i need a word that describes the urge to start eating drywall because of video game

[heatherfield]

It’s all well and good to have a “Headless” themed playlist to get through a Friday until “The Poison Within” starts playing. 

Good feelings gone.

[waywardsalt]

Hi! I hope you’re doing good in life.

What do you think of a phantom hourglass remake? Tbh I don’t know how they could remake it without basically remaking it from the ground-up. It would probably play more like windwaker, which I see as a both a good and bad thing. On the one hand, if it was more like windwaker a lot more people would probably play and it would be more popular since I know the touch controls were a turn off for most people for both Spirit Tracks and Phantom hourglass. But on the other hand, remaking it to be more like windwaker would make the game lose some of it’s previous identity. Like, Phantom hourglass was so unique because of the touch controls and the puzzles you can make and solve by having two screens and touch controls. And it was so nifty and handy to be able to write notes on your map. Idk, I still would like it to be remade in general even if it ends up a basically different game, but I wouldn’t change the story or the characters, especially Linebeck. The only other change I would make is the music. Phantom hourglass had rather weak themes, mainly because they re-used the same theme for the islands and the dungeons. The only songs that were really good were the few orginal tracks made for the game, so Linebeck’s theme, Oshus’s theme, both Bellum boss battle themes and the and that music that plays when you first follow the Ghost Ship. But what would you want out of a phantom hourglass remake?

Hey, I’m doing good, and I hope you are too!

I’ve thought a bit about a possible Phantom Hourglass remake, but not too much recently. I don’t really know if I’d want one, since you’d lose a lot of what really makes it special, and you can still play it through other means. I’m personally fond of the graphics and the music- yes, even the dungeon theme has grown on me- so I don’t really want a remake too badly, especially since I fear any additions/changes they might make with story or characters in a remake. The touch controls make it, and playing it on pc recreates that feeling decently well, but I don't think it'll be just the same if you had to control it with joysticks or anything.

Not to mention, there's so much emphasis on having the two screens, too, not just for map stuff, but almost every single boss had a mechanic related to the top screen! I have no fucking clue how you'd replicate that very well on something like the switch without just fucking with the mechanics altogether.

I would kill to hear some of Phantom Hourglasses tracks be orchestrated or otherwise rearranged in a higher quality. I wouldn't want any of the more notable themes altered in any way, no adding or removing of melodies and only very very small changes to the instrumentation, but I think it'd be neat to see what could be done with dungeon themes. I think a while back I had a fleeting desire to write some short tracks for each dungeon, with some ideas like mostly using instruments heard in Bellum's themes for the dungeons while each individual one gets a leading instrument unique to and reflective of the dungeon, while the Ghost Ship maybe gets a song that's a bit of a expanded version of the fog theme, while the Temple of the Ocean King could have slightly different themes the further in you got, starting with instruments more common to Oshus's theme or the great sea theme, while the further in you got the more instruments from Bellum's theme would be heard, plus some harpsichord thrown in for the hell of it.

Leave the original dungeon theme for stuff like the minor pyramids and some larger cave areas, idk. It's grown on me.

I think the only story rearranging I'd want is mayyyyybe unfridging Tetra? You could very easily shuffle some things around with her and just not damsel her for the whole game and honestly it'd still go off perfectly without a hitch. But you'd still have to deal with the World of the Ocean King being a whole other world, so either bring her and her crew in and have them as wandering ship npcs (the better idea) or just leave them out (not a good idea) but either way it's better than what they actually did. I just don't think I'd want it to switch to Tetra being a major reoccurring character tbh, the main character dynamics in PH are good as they are.

I think I like Phantom Hourglass too much as it is to really want a remake at all. I'd rather we get something like an anime adaptation. That's what I think about more. Give me animated Phantom Hourglass with some fun takes on the dungeons and fights and some fun slice of life stuff with the group between the islands what I want is a Phantom Hourglass anime

[song-of-the-rune]

guys what are some funny songs I can learn on the ocarina.

it's only got 4 holes. no thumb holes. so I get one full octave, c to c. I can transpose keys but anything more than one octave wide is gonna be a problem, unless there's a very clear place for an octave to shift (or un-shift)

I am surprising everyone with this at my wedding so if it's wildly wedding-inappropriate it gets bonus points.

[antispopausandstuff]

cast ( pt. 3 ) . . .

Flutterina ( Abby ) - Small One, The Beautiful Butterfly, Chrysalis, Friend of Peekablue. 19 yrs old, 4'7, previously a slave for the Horde, but was freed by Adora and Peekablue and brought to refuge. after taking time to heal from her injuries, she joined the Rebellion and pursuing revenge.

though she's very timid and anxious, Flutterina is very determined and passionate about her interests and objective to take down those who harmed her, never having a moment of doubt.

as a result of the abuse she suffered, she has chronic pain in her back and often relies on her butterfly friends to assist in her spying and scouting. when she visits, Peekablue often helps by massaging.

otherwise, Flutterina commonly found reading, writing, singing, or listening to radio. most of her hobbies are partially due to the fact she developed agnosiophobia ( phobia of the unknown ) in her time of healing from the Horde.

design would be inspired by Sploot by unknownspy, Doodles and Emojitober by elentori, Hanasaki Miyabi Art by gigili_jiggly, and Aurora by looz__y. having a lot of cottagecore fairy thoughts, and i love imagining her with her butterfly friends. lots of pink and purple.

theme song - Ilia's Theme by Video Game Players

-

Peekablue ( Penelope // Quill ) - Watchful Feathered Friend, Guardian of Peace ( former ), All-Seer, Friend of Flutterina. 21, 5'9, a shut-in afraid of their own abilities, finding them a curse and presumed to be dead. that is, until they're found saving Flutterina.

riddled with migraines, distorted vision, anger, and guilt, Peekablue is someone who's dispirited, depressed, and distrustful of everyone but their dear friend. because of their mental and physical struggles, they're almost always in bed or taking medication ( healing spells or plants ).

only feeling like themselves around Flutterina, peaceful and loving, they may have developed a codependency on her, as they don't have energy to do much of anything when she's not visiting.

design would be inspired by King Timeline and Green Doodles by sleeepybacon, Zenith by mekaiime, and Lapis Lazuli Illustration by elentori. in contrast to Flutterina, their colors would be a lot of greens and blues. i like to imagine them flying with her. oh, and i used they // them pronouns cuz i made them genderqueer, but used singular for easier reading.

theme song - Light Spirit's Message by Asuka Ohta, Toru Minegishi, & Aaron Grubb

-

Spinerella ( Cynthia ) - Lady Whirlwind, Dizzying Defender, Wife of Netossa. 33, 5'9, a dancer who resided in a faraway, closed off village that was ignorant to the Horde's existence, thanks to the leader. living peacefully together, Spinerella and Netossa only discovered the war when they visited Thaymor.

aside from dancing, Spinerella takes a particular interest in subjects relating to the dead and dark arts, finding them intriguing and not as black and white as people believe them to be. people wouldn't know this, though, as she usually only shares this hobby of hers with those she's close with, partially due to past prejudice.

she finds her whirlwinds fun, so she likes to mess with her enemies, putting them in multiple spins in a row until she eventually gets bored or asked to stop. usually by her wife.

honest, bold, and finding humor in most situations, Spinerella's main goal in life is to live it to the fullest and be unapologetically herself. she's getting pretty close!

design would be inspired by Mulan Illustration and Lily by cronchy_baguette, VII by puglianoregion, Raven Redesign and Starfire Redesign by polluxery, and Pink Adopt Batch by sleeepybacon. i imagine her hair always moving, wearing flowy fabrics, and having lots of wind // cloud markings or tattoos. she kinda also gives me Meg from Hercules vibes.

theme song - Requiem of Spirit by Giulio Capone

-

Netossa ( Vivian ) - Lady Snare, Captivating Beauty, Wife of Spinerella. 33, 6'0, a marksman who resided in a faraway, closed off village that was ignorant to the Horde's existence, thanks to the leader. living peacefully together, Netossa and Spinerella only discovered the war when they visited Thaymor.

she's always loved luxury and fashion, having a tailoring business on the side within her hometown, and is keen on making sure everything's in brimming order. she loves practicality with flair.

with her trickery and agility, Netossa is able to capture even the most bothersome of foes in a relatively short time, not wanting to waste any more if she doesn't have to. she's mildly annoyed that this makes her come off as impatient to some people.

sweet, efficient, and levelheaded, Netossa strives for excellence and success in her life and everything she does.

design would be inspired by Auset by cronchy_baguette, Thumbelina Illustration, Wedgwood Gijinka, and Ambrosia 1 by pix_bun, Amira by aruceli, and Lorena by fernandadiasartwork. we need more luxurious black women ( and black people in general ) in our rep, to be quite honest.

theme song - Prelude of Light by Giulio Capone

-

Castaspella ( Emi // Esmerelda ) - Queen of Mystacor, Enchantress Who Hypnotizes, Older Sister of Micah, Sister-In-Law of Angella, Aunt of Glimmer, Mother of Double Trouble. 50, 5'10, a sorceress who was a prodigy of her time before her reign as Queen. after the disappearance of Light Spinner, however, Mystacor took a hit and became a target in the line of fire, resulting in it being forced into hiding within the clouds.

after isolation and the death of her brother, Castaspella became strict and cautious out of paranoia for the worst to come, resulting her being perceived as less than forgiving. however, her people remain grateful for her guidance and protection. which is more than she can say than for her child, Double Trouble, and her niece, Glimmer.

design would be inspired by Persona Doodle and Drishy by ollyc_herb, Spectrum and Noir by kennnajean, and Yuhua by velinxi. i don't think she'd be a natural ginger, so her hair may be dyed. maybe that's where DT got it from. anyway, she kinda gives Odalia vibes, but if Odalia was a "wrong things for the right reasons" kinda person. devastated woman.

theme song - Time's End - Remixed by Theophany

.

Lohni - Second In Command ( former? ) & Best Friend of Adora, Friend of Rogelio and Kyle, Daughter of Turron. 19, 5'8, a troubled soldier who's stuck in the crossfire. after Adora's defection, Lohni had the mind to follow, wanting to remain loyal to her best friend. but after Shadow Weaver found out...

[ no information found. ]

design would be inspired by Philomena by animatorroseoak, Boxer Ragatha Design by pika.vani & burrotello, Knight by sleeepybacon, and Avon by nudeerah. i wonder what Turron thinks of his daughter.

theme song - Courage by Arcade Player

.

Rogelio - Horde Soldier, Scaled Marksman, The Caged, Best Friend of Kyle, Friend of Lohni and Adora. 19, 6'3, a previously caged boy until he was deemed 'safe' by the Horde, resulting in claustrophobia, nyctophobia, trypanophobia, and anxiety inaccurately perceived as anger or standoffish behavior by most. due to his traumas, including prejudice, he struggles with speech and socialization.

he's fiercely loyal, kind, and protective of his friends, cherishing them after everything he's gone through and them showing they would never hurt him. but after Lohni's disappearance, he becomes on edge with the Horde's intentions.

design would be inspired by Benjamin & Tink by keona_star, Satyrs & Tinker Bell Illustrations by sairasays, and Eyefest Doodles by sleeepybacon. looks intimidating, but is actually just a big dork that loves his found family.

Theme Song - Link Is Coming by Arcade Player

.

Kyle - Horde Solider, Peacekeeper, Best Friend of Rogelio, Friend of Lohni and Adora. 18, 5'4, seen as expendable for his lack of physical prowess or 'useful' skills, Kyle is invisible to most of the Horde and, when he's not with his friends, is often left alone to his own devices. due to this, he becomes a very knowledgeable person and manages to find supplies to defend himself and others with.

with his emotional intelligence, something that is incredibly stunted in the Horde, he is able to soothe others if they're in moments of anger, panic, or some other form of emotional compromise better than most would say, and puts empathy at the forefront of his mind when it comes to de-escalation.

like Rogelio, he's been concerned on where Lohni is and why she disappeared. maybe they have to work together to find her.

design would be inspired by Amari by keona_star, Wonder Duo & Co Doodles by miithers, & MTA by agrestecore. before she disappeared, Lohni saw Adora in Kyle. just a little tidbit.

Theme Song - Kakariko Village by Video Game Players

.

ough, this took me a long time! sorry for the wait! the next and final(?) part will be with the Crimson Waste and Horde Prime!

[blueskybehindtheclouds]

I love to think about the songs Link hums while cooking in Tears of the Kingdom, because if you think about it in connection to Linked Universe, there are two ways to do it, and either way is great:

Wild knows all the songs subconsciously, from the reincarnation or whatnot, and freak out the others by just absentmindedly humming a song from their past (like Legend for example, imagine his shock if Wild suddenly started humming Marin’s song??? the angst potential, or Time with Saria’s song, the possibilities are endless)

OR!!!! Wild learned all of these songs while traveling with the Chain before TotK, and he’s humming them to himself while cooking because he misses his family and it makes him feel happy and reminds him of them and aarghhh the feels🥹

(For those who don’t know, these are the songs he hums in TotK:

- Ballad of the Goddess - Skyward Sword

- Epona’s Song - Ocarina of Time

- Kass’ theme - Breath of the Wild

- Ballad of the Wind Fish - Link’s Awakening

- Zelda’s Lullaby - A Link to the Past

- The Legend of Zelda Main Theme/Overworld

- Saria’s Song/Lost Woods - Ocarina of Time

- Hyrule Field Theme - Ocarina of Time

- Champion’s Ballad - Breath of the Wild

- Link’s standard humming while cooking from Breath of the Wild)

< I Don’t Think It’s Talked About Enough. . . - Creative Edition >

I don’t think it’s talked about enough when a Creative has the itch to create but cannot put anything down . For example , writing . The Creative may know the exact sequence of events to occur in a scene but once the document or paper is ready , nothing comes out .

I don’t think it’s talked about enough that a Creative listening to music is important when creating art or a story . The beat , the lyrics , the vocals , it all connects with the stories . We are most likely daydreaming which characters are doing what based on a song and it guides us to exactly where we need to go .

I don’t think it’s talked about enough that when a Creative presents you their art or story , they trust you with a piece of themself . Some Creatives ( like myself ) have been working on one or more stories for over ten years . We have continued to develop , create , and destroy our stories over and over and over and over and over and over and over again because they aren’t exactly our children. . .

But a part of us . We change thus our stories did .

I don’t think it’s talked about enough when a Creative shows you their work and once a slight uninterested appearance or words are exchanged , we either close the story(ies) , put our sketch books away , and try to conceal it . I think of it as the same feelings of being rejected or even abandoned by those you present it to . These creative endeavors are a literal part of our dedication , our spirit , and when we are told “ we’re being too much ” , “ It’s weird / We’re weird . ” , “ It’s dumb . It’s too complicated . It’s too. . . ”

I think in some cases , it’s suppose to be that way . Humans are complicated , and it’s represented in our creativity .

I don’t think it’s talked about enough that sometimes Creatives grow apathetic of their own work(s) . We stay up late nights writing , drawing , crafting . Our brains don’t stop thinking about how the characters need this or that , how they get to it , why didn’t it work , what happens next , how does this character work or fight with this character ? The plot needs this for the theme , shoot what’s the theme mean in literature , this happens in the world and how does that affect the world , creatures , and characters ? Shoot what was that word again. . . ?

Stopped .

I’m staring at the screen .

Were these stories worth it ?

Was my years of dedication all for nothing ?

Am I even worth it ?

I mean , come on , msbutterfly5294 , you have drawn some awesome pieces for the these stories ! I mean , look at these papers filled with words that blend and make sense , the stories can capture mystery and emotion , descriptions are great ! Why don’t you continue ?

Because. . . It’s a beautiful disease much like love . It infects the entirety of us . I remember the many nights my big brother ( who is my cousin ) came over to show us Legend Of Zelda games and he would tell me all about his stories , lore , world building and characters . That was years ago as a very young teenager to late teens . I don’t fully know when he started his journey , but I know he loves those characters and stories with all his heart .

And by stars , it is beautiful to know someone with that much passion . He inspired me to follow my dreams along with my big sister ( also my cousin ) . She taught me art and resilience , he taught me storytelling and dedication .

I wouldn’t be here today without them .

. . . I don’t think it’s talked about enough. . . That a Creative wouldn’t be here today without those beautiful people who do care and encourage them to keep creating . Keep being passionate . Keep writing . Keep drawing .

Keep being you .

And be proud of it .

This is kind of a harebrained idea I've considered for a long time, but I think the Hero's Shade is actually Dark Link from OoT. Not actually Link. So I'm going to use that for the Bad Moon AU.

There's a lot of weird things about the Hero's Shade that fall into place if he's actually Dark Link.

1) He's definitely not a Stalfos, his body is not made of bones, just translucent flesh.

2) If anything, he looks closest to the other ghosts in Twilight Princess, except he has a red eye instead of green.

3) Unlike those ghosts, he only shows up in the light world as a wolf. This is weird! He doesn't even show up as a wolf in the dark/twilight world, just the light world, the opposite of what it should be! He's only a person in this weird foggy not-real room.

4) Remember where you fight Dark Link? A weird foggy not-real room?

5) Dark Link who also has red eyes and is translucent (until he gets mad and turns opaque black)

6) Twilight Princess is very clear that the holders of the courage and power triforce turn into animals in the twilight (Wisdom remains human and Zelda gives that to Midna which is why she can hang out in the light world in the latter part of the game despite being of twilight).

7) Again, it doesn't make sense that the Shade would be a wolf in the light world... unless he's actually some sort of dark spirit forced into animal form by the light.

8) Dark Link has a history of showing up, and forcing you to git gud (or cheese him). That's also the Hero's Shade's job.

9) This all kind of fits with Twilight Princess' theming of switching around light and dark. Ganondorf wields the light weapon used to execute him. Link is a dark beast, etc.

So in Bad Moon, Link decides to go back to the water temple after Majora's Mask and the War of Eras. He feels bad about killing that spirit and really wants his longshot back. This time he doesn't bring a sword and uses the Song of Storms to free Dink (he's not stupid, he's still got Din's Fire and a bunch of potions in case things go bad). Dink is kind of him and kind of not him. Link has a bad habit of repressing his fears and regrets and Dark Link brings them forwards. He's not evil though.

Because Link is still marked by the dark magic of Termina, he can dump enough dark magic into Dink to let him stay human around him. But the rest of the time he's a white wolf. By the time Twilight Princess happens Link is out of the picture but together they planned to help out the next hero. Dink also gets to scare the shit out of another green kid, his favorite thing in the world to do.

I know that I said regional rail themes for Rails of the Realm would come before anything character- or plot-related, but this one had to happen. It had to. I used the electronic instrumentation of Kohga's battle music and the weird bumping claves from the Hideout. Did you expect me to not? We literally have art of Yiga Byrne over at @powdermelonkeg's page!

I'm also an optimist, so in this world we get Byrne living happily among the Sheikah in Kakariko post-redemption, unless Bee says otherwise (I live to serve o7). I made a major key version with more Kakariko-style instrumentation so we could all hold hands and dream of a better world together.

Bonus tag for @spirit-tracks who has been so encouraging ever since the first song. If anyone wants me to make a proper taglist and add them to it, please lmk!
