Rat king!! I'm currently watching a gameplay series of twilight princess (hd bc I never had a wiiu) like 10 years after playing maybe a third of the og lol anyway my love for botw just grew exponentially bc of how similar they are <3 but also I'm super disappointed on how...white it is compared to tp :P renado and telma my beloveds we really deserved better

Tp has such lovely npcs!! They aren’t perfect or anything but still. And I love that they aren’t just there for one segment of the game but they keep coming to carry the story (I have a soft spot for ashei and the haunting scene of meeting her on the way to snowpeak djdhdhdhd the fucking music and the blizzard and she is there like a dashing knight)

Well, finally finished the tp manga. I liked it, but it certainly wasn’t my favorite. This sounds weird cuz it’s an adaptation but it… doesn’t feel like an adaptation? It feels like an original story with Zelda slapped onto it. Again, doesn’t make sense but that’s how I feel.

Some things I liked and didn’t like:

- will never like Link’s backstory. I don’t like the town he’s from, I don’t like where it went, and I don’t like his friends. I also don’t like his personality. Idk since he’s my fav link I’m particular about how he’s written lol.

- I did like Ordon tho. I liked how much bigger it was and stuff. Very fun. I also like how superstitious the people were.

- Rusl was amazing but some things they did were…. Weird. What was his relationship with Link?? He treated him like a son but he called him brother? He didn’t fight for his life to protect the kids and instead stood there? Also why didn’t he go to the temple of time with Link?? :((( there wasn’t enough of him being a dad but when he was there he was wonderfully written and the best and I love him sm.

- Renado shooting monster with a bow was awesome

- the whole thing with Shad was… strange. His thing with Illia was weird in the beginning but honestly I found it sweet at the end. But his personality from the game just contradicts this so much. He was too much of a flirtatious playboy rather than an obsessed scholar. Very strange

- didn’t like Auru either. Like what the heck man.

- Ashei, Telma, and Rusl were the only resistance members that I felt like were written well.

- I liked Illia staying at the bar rather than staying at Kakariko. It gives her more to do rather than standing there without a memory.

- I liked Zelda. I love the idea that this Zelda is very lonely so Midna means a lot to her cuz that’s like, her only friend.

- Zant was… yikes…. Wtf man

- Ganondorf was underwhelming

- I liked seeing the connection to Oot. Sort of

- I actually like the thing with King Bulblin and Illia. That was interesting.

- there was this entire segment where Link had to be taken care of by some girl and??? That felt like a waste of time

- LOVED Luda. My beloved :)

- the ordon kids were severely underutilized I feel like. And the whole thing with Colin was confusing. It felt like they didn’t know what to do with him so they wrote themselves into a corner and made his story so much more lame.

- I liked some of the worldbuilding with the twilight realm. Like how the light dwellers thought it was hell so they sent their prisoners there? Very neat.

- THE MIDLINK IS 10/10 AMAZING INCREDIBLE NINTENDO SHOULD MAKE THEM KISS AGAIN

overall not terrible. I’m honestly kind of indifferent about it. Didn’t stick with me but wasn’t awful. Just kinda in the middle. I feel like Zelda manga works best as shorter series. The oot manga was so much better and it only had 2 volumes compared to tp’s 11. But it was certainly ambitious and wasn’t a dumpster fire so I’ll give them that :)

Some love at twilight crap. I wanted to sort of redesign Rusl’s resistance outfit. So this is what he’ll look like when he’s resisting in the fic lol. Idk why but I wanted to make him a sneaky guy, I also hate his helmet so I added a cool mask, not only to muffle his breathing when he’s sneaking but also to cover his face. If he’s dealing with a dangerous enemy then I’m sure he’d want to get rid of all ties to Ordon, to keep his home safe. So I got rid of all his beloved Ordon clothes. Idk I’m not sold on it, Rusl is hard to draw man.

And yeah, I drew a thing from TP while the rest of LOT. Some two year old kori cuz he’s my fav, kori and Renado from something I’m writing, and Beth and Talo being siblings <3
