#although im surprised noone has mentioned demises true name yet

[ganondoodle]

I saw your worldbuilding diagram with the sword spirits; I recognize Emi, I think; the Lokomo sword? If the other spirits we don't see in Skyward Sword are meant to be recognizable, what is Rei in today's time? My first thoughts, color wise, are either Death Sword or the Scimitar of Twilight, both from Twilight princess. Also, is Demise's former world meant to be Lorule? Love the lore, and I'd love to see more of it! Your art style is incredible.

Ah, im glad you like it ! 

i have been getting quite alot of questions about things people think they recognize, but i must admit, most are either just neat lil refs towards some canon lore things, or accidental-

-Emi is not supposed to be any particular sword, their design is a little ref towards the first two evolutions of the goddess sword before it is made into the master sword, but it is NOT the same, Emi was utterly shattered, both blade and spirit so they are gone

-Rei i included bc i heard from someone that (apparently) there was a theory about Demise having been trained to wield two swords based on his moveset in skyward sword; whether or not that is a real theory i dont know, but i liked the idea. Rei’s blade was shattered when Demise was fighting the fragmented imprisoned of Courage (what happened to Demise in ss basically happend to Courage first, although Demise killed Courages imprisoned form after Rei’s blade was shattered by it) their gem, which houses the spirit, was cracked but not shattered, thus they are not dead but comatose still within the gem; Demise embedded it into his right earring, so he always has them with him if he happend to find a way to reforge them (i might make more lore posts explaining some details)

-I am no gonna confirm that Demises home was Lorule, from what i know about a Link between worlds tho it doesnt line up with my lore here so im leaning towards a no its not. i rotated the Triforces each a little to differentiate them from each other, so just bc Demises is flipped that doesnt mean its from Lorule

-(i know you didnt ask, but other things that were asked in replies/twitter) 

-Courages home was indeed first destroyed by a flood, before the planet broke as well, this is just a ref towards windwaker in the sense of it shows in what the gods will do without batting an eye ( i mean they’re gods, what do they care about some mortals life) 

-why Hylia hesitates to seal Demise will be explained in full detail in the comic but in short; she hesitates bc Demise is nothing like she was told he would be like   

-hes not a purely evil entity, but someone with thoughts and feelings

-he doesnt have an army of monsters under his command, hes all alone (aside from ghirahim)

-hes not overwhelmingly powerful but rather weak compared to her

it doesnt line up with anything, and she starts to doubt her orders, should she just follow them blindly without questioning anything ? or is there another way to protect her home from Demise while also not having to seal him ? 

aaaaaaaaand much more, i have also lore about how the blade spirits are forged, and what makes them so unique, about the dragons and their evolutions plus the whole story of “Destiny” which also includes an epilog taking place i botw (plus i have those game ideas that tie into everything as well .. tho that is a bit more on the side of wishful thinking and still pretty losely connected ... and i cant make everything line up perfectly at the same time after all xD i only have one brain to work with here nmdjkfvndjklnvfdjkl)
