Does anyone know what they did with the Divine Beasts? I can get the Towers and Shrines vanishing, but how do you lose a whole Elephant?

[inkedmyths]

Totk thoughts so far (SPOILERS sorry I'm on mobile and don't remember how to add a Read More)

I'm having a lot of fun!! The added game mechanics, new items, new map additions, new monsters... its all making for a great experience, and not just a carbon copy of BotW. The greater focus on characters and story is a huge bonus as well, I'm having a ton of fun with that.

That being said... the game seems really hesitant to reference the events of BotW in some ways? Like I understand leaning away from it in an effort to not be just another BotW, but like. No mention of the Divine Beasts? What happened to all the Ancient Sheikah tech? Mechanically, most of it has been replaced by the Zonai stuff, it seems, but where did it all go in the first place?

Maybe it is explained, and I just haven't come across it/gotten to that point, but in some ways, the lack of explanation seems very weird and makes parts of the story suffer for it.

Mind you I haven't delved extremely deep into the story yet, but its been bugging me the entire time. Like, this weird attempt at balancing it for "new players" (who is playing this without knowing at least the story of BotW...) and still being a direct sequel... idk. Maybe this is the attachment to BotW and its mechanics and story.

What if you could find the Divine Beasts in the Depths?

You’re in this dark, alien environment, strange noises echoing around you, the inescapable anxiety your only companion. Squinting in the distance, you see a frighteningly familiar shade of blue flicker, faint in the distance.

Cautiously moving forward, you begin to realise the blue belongs to something much, much larger than a possible guardian. Eventually, an ancient behemoth looms overhead, still, silent, and empty, both at rest and unnervingly calm. A strange, restless melancholy replaces the sense of creeping dread, no less uneasy than before.

Entering the resting stone, in the corner of your eyes, you see movement flicker. At first you think a spirit, perhaps the Champions still linger… but deep down you know they’ve passed on… right?

Echoing footsteps fill the silence as you press on, avoiding gloom where there had once been malice, a desecration of a sacred resting place. You see the flicker again, turn on your foot and see for a split second, a beloved friend, an uneasy rival, a stalwart protector, a steadfast leader, an ally, a painful reminder of your worst failure. Even now, years later, it stings.

You try to get their attention, but there is no response. Instead, you watch. And realise. And mourn again. There are no spirits here. Not in the vast, decaying depths, not in the final resting places of a final hope.

These are echoes of the ones you knew. You can see them in the corner of your eyes sometimes, going about preparations for that ill-fated battle. It’s eerie, made no better by the Grand Poes gently swaying, their locations random but making uncomfortable sense.

Sometimes, on unlucky days, it is not preparations that these echoes go through. Pain torn screams faintly heard as their final moments are played out, a play on an eerie stage.

Vah Medoh groans in the dark, as the image of her pilot slams limply on her back, wing torn, and struggles to get up, defiance in his glare even now.

Vah Ruta cries a warning, as her pilot slumps over the controls, never seeing her killer, her last thought to warn the others.

Vah Rudania braces herself, as the echo of her pilot does the same, but the shield shatters, a flash of phantom heat coating the area, followed by darkness.

Vah Nabooris strides steady, until her pilot, fatigued from a relentless assualt, makes one fatal misstep in her final dance, lightning crackling in the air.

The stone beasts are restless, aware of the new threat, and unable to let go of the last pilots they’ll ever have, desperately trying to fight once more. But instead, they lay still, silent, a monument to their pilots lost to time.

What if you could find the Divine Beasts in the Depths?

Mechanism? I am not just a Mechanism, I am a living being, a machine that can feel, not just sensations, but emotions too. I was constructed by the now Ancient Sheikah TEN THOUSAND and FIVE years ago to combat Calamity Ganon.

I agree, my head does bear quite the resemblance to your mask. Although, it also bears resemblance to Champion "Kalia's" Helm as well.

Your Bio-Signature indicates a 82.9% blood match with that of Individual "Teba."

You are quite the intriguing individual. Quite intriguing indeed.. I will run more tests in my Genetic Database.

Name Registered . . . "Sage of Wind" now within genetic and user databases.

Bio-Scan Complete . . .

Unidentified Individual, please provide a name for the registry.

(@askvahmedoh)

I'm surprised this large mechanism can detect a entity like myself within its confines. I haven't seen this level of capability other the Stormwind Ark.

Though I couldn't help but notice the similarities the head has to the mask I'm wearing. How very peculiar.

My name is... actually no nevermind. You can simply identify me as the Sage of Wind, and in many ways I suppose I was the inspiration behind your creation.

[asktheyigamaster]

Leader Kogha of the despicable Yiga Clan,

It is no secret that I hate you, and you hate me. We are sworn enemies as by our background. Beyond putting an arrow through your skull, I have little desire to ever have an interaction with you. Your pathetic existence repulses me.

However. As much as it pains me to do so, I would like to propose a momentary truce in the name of knowledge exchange.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that you; for whatever reason, seem to have a great deal of information in regards to the inner workings and nature of the four Divine Beasts. I supose them being ancient Sheika technology means that you must have some history with them.

The one and only thing you and I perhaps share in common is that we both seem to have an invested interest in the wellbeing of Vah Medoh.

You are pleased for the rise of this ancient technology that your people created and feel as though the Beasts should remain unburied and thrive, and as her designated Pilot I have a responsibility to keep her safe and in working order.

Thus I propose the following;

You shall provide me with information to aid in Medoh's well being, and in return I shall offer you the payment of taking mercy on the next Yiga assassin that attempts to cross me. Also this one bunch of mighty bananas enclosed, which I had to fly all the way to Faron to aquire.

In short. Usually I would request the Princesses aid or perhaps Purah when it comes to any technical issues regarding Medoh. However; ever since her release from the Demon King's filthy paws, she has been making a strange clunking sound intermittently from the lower back energy core behind her main control panel. When questioned about it, both Purah and the Princess insisted it was likely just rusted gears that could be fixed with a little oil - as if I hadn't already thought of that possibility and done as such. Honnestly their dismissive attitudes about it frustrated me.

Which I'm certain is obvious by the fact I have sunk low enough to resort to coming to you for advice.

Vah Medoh is in... pain. I know she is a machine and machines don't feel pain, I am not a fool. I admit I don't know how to explain that I know this, I just do. I want to help her, even if it means turning to...distrustful sources. I am unsure where else to turn.

I would like to clarify that this is not an invitation to approach the Divine Beast. If you come within a ten foot radius of her or attempt to board, I will not hesitate to send you away looking like a porcupine. This is merely a request for information exchange. If you know what could be the cause for Vah Medoh's distress, and know how to fix it, I implore you to share it with me, just on this one occasion.

This does not make us allies, you are still my sworn enemy and I yours.

Unkind regards,

Champion Revali, Hero of the Rito, Master of the Skies.

Champiom Revali, Master of Blah-blah-blah

You hear a WHAT?

From WHERE?

Medoh is a busty mechanim, with massive metal parts. A clunking noise would be rather normal. NOT anywhere near the energy cells!!!

AND DEFINITELY NOT NEAR THE CONSOLE. THAT'S WHERE THE EMPATHIC CORE IS!

What in dear Ganon's name did you do to it, Featherbrain?!?!! There's not any moving parts TO clang there. This means you made a part move. BADLY

...

It is the place you and Link fought off Ganon's influence isn't it? Both of you share a proclivity for explosive arrowheads, DONT YOU?!?!

mmmmhhhhhhhaaaAAAAAAA

And of course the Princess just told you to oil her up! ... I excepted better from Purah though......

At least you understand that they are wrong, so there's some hope.

There should be more to your situation. No, there definitely is. And the people who, through what I imagine can only be sheer ignorance, managed to convince a Pilot of a Divine Beast that it can't feel pain, are SO not qualified to tell me what it is. A nither are YOU! A pilot who is calling himself a fool for thinking a sapient creature can feel.

I am going in there right now. And I am going to help Vah Medoh, or at least learn exactly how you hurt her to add it to the list of Yiga geudges or so help me Ganon. And you try to stop me the Rito will be holding a contest for a new mech pilot. Cash in that promise of yours not to touch a Yiga for this, I don't care.

By the way! Those are some BRILLIANT Bananas, incredible quality, juuuuuust the right ripeness. Thanks a lot. You gotta share where exactly you got them.

Kindly, Master Kohga, the only guy around with an Ancient Sheikah engineering degree.

A Revali Fanfic Recommendation

I urge you all to put your life on hold for a moment and go read this brilliant fanfiction:

A hundred years after the fall of Hyrule to Calamity Ganon, and the hero Link has finally sealed the darkness and freed the Divine Beasts of their curse - and with it, their pilots are finally free. But not just as spirits. Awake once again, the four Champions of old have a second chance at life and must re-adjust to this future world with their decendants. Well - all except for one Champion, who doesn't have a decentant. Or even anyone left alive that knew him. Teba is happy to take in his revived ancient idol as one of his own, but sharing a living space with a hundred year old Champion with an ego the size of his divine beast and who might have some issues he's not willing to share can be a lot sometimes and they don't always see eye to eye. Revali thinks he should return to leading the new generation of Rito warriors. Teba thinks this actual child should never have been leading warriors or fighting a war in the first place. Tulin is just excited to have the infamous Rito Champion in his house.

Beautifully written and lovingly crafted, this baby can fit so much trauma and whump into the most gut-wrenching and heat-breakingly found family story you may ever read. 130,000 words, 36 chapters (and still regularly updating!), and a CRIMINALLY low number of kudos. If that doesn't sway you, here is some gushing under the cut <3

You think you've read a champions revival fic before? This will have you saying "how the FUCK have I not seen this before" and completely change the way you view everything (mild exaggeration. m i l d). We have all of your favourite revali tropes: being a dick and getting owned, being a dick and being right, getting own and never showing those feelings to the light of day, getting killed, getting unkilled and loved, showing emotions but being super weird and revali about it, bonding with tulin!!, bonding with teba and the rest of rito village, bonding with the champions, having panic attacks and trauma, vah medoh being the best ever, being a terrifying force of nature, being an idiot kid, and so much more!

Do you like grumpy dad teba? Do you like revali swallowing his pride? Do you like revali immediately spitting his pride back up and being a bitchy bird? Do you like mipha and revali as gossip buddies? Do you like the complete and utter fool revali makes of himself everytime he so much as hears the name link? Do you like people seeing right through his facade and calling him out on it?

AND NOT TO MENTION THE WORLD BUILDING??? this fic is so in depth of the political climates, racism, lore, changes in culture during times of war, colonisation, biology of the races and just fucking everything?? It adds so much life to the world of hyrule I am genuinely shocked at how much this person clearly loves these games (botw/totk/aoc) and they are able to incorporate all of this amazing information in a way that flows so naturally and just hhrnngngg I am fucking insane about it. THE SCIENCE, oh my god how did I forget all the wonderous thoughts surrounding the divine beasts and the sheikah tech, oh god and how they write the magic system? Guys I swear it's so good.

Characterisation is on point, everyone feels so full of life and that they are reacting exactly how you would expect them too, and they just seem so real, like they are right beside you as you're reading. The author does an IMMACULATE job of drawing you in and making you feel a part of the story, all the while being just beautifully written?

Don't get me started on the attention to rito culture. I have never seen someone pour so much love into something before, genuinely on of the greatest things I've seen. I've always had a fascination over how the races of hyrule view each other, similarities and differences, how their cultures and histories intertwine, and conflicts that may arise. But oh. my. god. My jaw was on the floor every time, it's so rich and beautiful but not without the horrors (and oh god, they are Horrors tm) and again it's just so real!!!

Be warned, however, that there is gore and viscera and terror and hurt and war crimes and death (duh), but for each terrible thing to happen it is repaid tenfold in love and kindness somewhere down the line. (Unless you are into hurt no comfort, then sorry buddy!) It is a beautiful narrative and the exploration of trauma and self is mind boggling and just go read it!!! 😭 😭 😭 I just love this fic so much, it has instantly sky-rocketed to one of my top 3 favourite fics I've ever read, and I'm so grateful to have found it and now be along for the ride that if I could bring that to one more person then by god I will fucking do it

[askvahmedoh]

Ah, it's a lovely day out here in the sun! There's the Heart of the Spire across the lake, shining beneath Vah Medoh's shadow.

Hmm, I wonder, could anyone besides a pilot communicate with the Divine Beasts? Purely hypothetically, of course, just thinking aloud to myself while relaxing on Revali's Landing...but think of the history, the ancient knowledge they must contain, if only they could be conversed with! Ah, but don't be silly, Kass; now how would that work...

Processing Query . . .

It is possible to speak with what you seek. All you need is the courage to ask. Vah Medoh is not silent, never has, never will be.

Connectionwith Champion "Revali" remains steady. Communications will resume soon.

Query for individual "Kass" . . .

What do you wish to know of?

2024 Masterlist:

Multi-Chaptered Fics:

A Link to the Stars

In Progress

My current WIP! In collaboration with @coffebits

The planet of Hyrule has known peace for decades. Princess Zelda, heir to the throne, has gotten to watch her best friend and general of the Hylian army, Link, explore neighboring planets, lead diplomatic missions, and defend their planet against possible attacks for years.

But when a strange moon appears in the Hylian skies, shining with hostile light, Zelda is the first to volunteer to investigate. Link and his right hand man, Ganondorf, enlist their services alongside her. As the team begins to study the strange moon, they soon discover that it is filled not only with fearsome monsters, but an ancient evil that seems to call to the spirits of each one of them. Will they be able to neutralize the threat to protect Hyrule, or will the presence of the moon unleash a curse that has lain in wait for generations?

Vows of a Hero

Completed - 20,458 words

He did not know that it would also mean that the Princess of Hyrule would now be his wife.

To Become an Immortal Dragon

Completed - 28,537 words

When Zelda wakes, she remembers nothing.

This was my very first fic, and the one that got me writing Zelink in the first place! It'll always have a special place in my heart

After the defeat of Calamity Ganon, Link and Zelda set off to unite Hyrule, despite the fact that Link does not have his memories, and Zelda is still recovering from her imprisonment in the castle. Along the way, they wrestle with their relationships with each other, themselves, and the people they want to protect.

This story serves as a loose connection between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, exploring the relationship between Link and Zelda in the wake of disaster.

What was Medoh's life like growing up? Were things significantly different 10,000 years ago?

I have been trying to think about how to answer this one since I got it. Medoh had a very typical upbringing in the village. period typical sexism causing her to narrow down into the route of medicine woman at a relatively young age. (she’s not one to just lie down and take it, but the environment in which she was raised didn’t exactly give any other options. she lived out the projected path, if a bit adjacent.) typical parents who loved her a typical amount and were good enough at what they did that she ended up okay. she wasn’t very scrappy growing up. not one to pick fights or really make herself anyone’s problem, but not one to really enjoy the company of others. would rather be isolated and alone. Her parents died when she was a teen and she really dove further into medicine as a way to cope. becoming one of the best healers in the village. her skills were renowned and she had surprisingly good bedside manner too. She was just, very simply, a girl.

Times were very different back then. the village spilled out into the surrounding area around Lake Totori and had a booming fur, wool, & cloth trade. This is an approximation of what the area looked like at the time-

the green is representative of rito-centric settlements vs the blue being hylian-centric. (not pictured are the smaller tribes further northeast in deep Hebra or the south in the Tabathan cliffs). most of the hylian settlements focused on farming and raising alpaca/goats where as the rito acted as protectors of the area and weaving the fibre into blankets or fabrics to be sold. it’s a mutual beneficial relationship for both parties. societally things were community driven but with the air of sexism surrounding what roles people could/should participate in. whether that was the influence of the hylian settlers or simply how things came to be isn’t exactly clear. but overall the villages ran smoothly and peacefully.

MASTER LIST HERE!!

Was talking to a friend on Discord and we're laughing at this screenshot I took.

It got me thinking about how much I miss the daytime routines from BotW and then thought about how they would react to the Blood Moon coming.

More below cut.

My list is:

Yunobo - Nervous but ready as can be. The Gorons would point out the nervousness but would say he would be like "The Great Daruk" soon enough, just with his nervousness cause it's Yunobo.

Sidon - He'll be at Mipha's statue watching it and promising her that there will be an end to them soon. Yona promises she would do everything she could to make sure Link and Co are safe and is there for them.

Riju: You can find her where the Blood Moon is rising and sometimes comforting the younger Gerudo kids with Patricia. She'll saying she remembered how she felt when she was young and vows to make sure they are safe. Buliara would say something about it separately and agree.

Tulin: He would be above the village and raring to go. But he would show some maturity and worry as well. Teba and Saki would say that they remember how Teba and Harth got hurt against Vah Medoh. They don't doubt Tulin as a Sage, just the understandable parents being worried now that he has a big responsibility.

Purah and Robbie would be used to it after a hundred (100) years, but try to keep everything flowing while Josha is just fascinated and wondered how it was handled during Ancient Times.

I miss daytime routines and wish there were more reactions to the Blood Moon. Different reactions for where it rises.

[3leggedmagpie]

Kass heads home after journeying abroad to research more ancient songs, happening to pass by Vah Medoh's boneyard on the way back. He wonders if the old bird ever gets lonely out here and quietly takes a seat, trying to recall the lilting tune of a renowned Rito archer...

There now, in its eye: a glint of activity? Of recognition? Or just a trick of the light?

[Image Description: An animated pixel artwork depicting Kass and Vah Medoh from the Nintendo game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The Rito bard Kass sits under a tree, playing his bandoneon. His music floats towards a grounded and decommissioned Divine Beast Vah Medoh nearby, now partly overtaken by grass and blue nightshade flowers. A faint flicker of activity seems to dance across the machine's darkened eyes. End I.D.]

[mimus-of-bellingar]

There's been so many complaints about the ancient Sheikah tech no longer being around in TOTK since the release, but it kind of makes sense why they wouldn't be. Even without the official "oh, they just vanished" explanation.

I mean, just look at these things from the perspective of a modern citizen of Hyrule who had to deal with these things for a hundred years, probably even from a modern Sheikah's perspective, honestly.

The Guardians and Divine Beasts were suppose to be these bulwarks against Calamity Ganon, even though they didn't really understand how they worked and had still not figured everything about them out by the time the Calamity struck.

And Ganon absolutely destroyed the old Hyrule with it. So much death and destruction at the "hands" of the technology supposed to protect them.

On top of that, given Link's first reaction to Purah's repurpose of the guardian legs - extreme panic -, I think it can be surmised that the average citizen of Hyrule would most likely be traumatized by the sight of them.

It doesn't matter that the Divine Beast helped in the end, after they had already caused so much destruction. The Gorons considered Vah Darunia a nuisance that had to be held in check or else it caused havoc, the Gerudo didn't like Vah Naboris getting near their settlements and causing all these sandstorms, the Zora only seemed to accept Vah Ruta as the place of Mipha's rest and the Rito couldn't care less what Vah Medoh did as long as it didn't interfere with their everyday life.

And then they stopped working altogether if the epilogue of BOTW is to be believed.

So it makes sense that they would agree to have these weapons deactivated or destroyed and repurposed after the Calamity passed.

There was no way there was still room for them in the new Hyrule, no one would trust these machines again, not even the Sheikah themselves. After all, the Towers in TOTK are made of repurposed Ancient Sheikah parts, probably even from some shrines.

And if Link solving all of the shrines in BOTW is canon, there is no more purpose for them, unless another set of 120 Sheikahs are willing to spend their afterlives as living mummies for 10.000 years.

[gothic-soda]

Liking Revali is crazy because I’m constantly thinking about how he’d look in different outfits in botw/totk.

Like, I want to draw him in the ancient armour set and the rubber set and the voe set and the vai set and the snowquill armour and the stealth suit and the frostbite set and the charged set and the ember set and the yiga set and the vah medoh helm and the barbarian armour and the glide set.

He is corroding my brain send help.

[asktheyigamaster]

You've got a degree in ancient Sheikah engineering, don't you? I'm curious, what powers the Divine Beasts? Must be something powerful if they can be dug up after 10,000 years and not need refueling...

The Divine Beasts are fuelled by a complicated knot of intertwined Ancient Sheikah tech! I couldn't possibly explain it to a layperson

that's not really true

WELL IT IS but more in a practical sense of categorically and straightforwardly...

I DONT REALLY KNOW OK

I didn't make the damn things! And the blueprints were very secret even then, as well as the first thing to go after then Princess decided she was done with the idea.

There are Environmental engines on The Beasts! I saw Vah Medoh generates some energy from wind turbines, I imagine Vah Ruta has some thermal ones and Vah Rudania might have some lightning catchers.

But that is definitely supplemental, for efficiency and energy recycling. I can't imagine something like that fueling SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Main fuel is probably the same blue juice Ancient Sheikah were putting into everything back then - processed Light. And yes, pay attention, it's Light with a capitalized L. That stuff reacts to people, not things. So if properly sealed it could last until the the end of time. And no wonder it didn't get spent after 10 000 underground. Not like the Beasts were moving a lot down there.

But that's fuel! I wouldn't say it "powers" the Divine Beasts.

Fuel is just a part of the mechanism. No more no less then all the movy-pushy piston thingies. Can you really say something ""powers"" a machine if it can be full to the brim with the stuff and still immobile?

Nah, what "powers" the Divine Beasts for real are the pilots

Unlike Guardians, which have a simpleton free will of their own, The Big Guns wouldn't move an itty bitty inch without them.

Without pilots and empathic cores I mean. The craziest part of the whole Divine Beast project.

At once ludicrous and elegant solution to the problem of "We want Sages to operate these giant complex machines, but we can't have them trained as machinists for 3 decades."

The ancient Sheikah just made it so the machines in qestion could agree with the pilots! Easy! Simple as creating an artificial intelligent personality that instinctually feels its enormous mechanical body, but lacks a will to move it. As well as a telephatic link between it and a person, so all a Sage really needs to operate a Divine Beast is to "hit it off"™ with their ride and for the two of them to agree on what the Beast should be doing at the moment.

Pish-posh, easy-peasy, banana-squeezy. Developed and built the whole thing on a weekend afternoon, no sweat, no issue.

Totally didn't take a life time of effort and dedication form the greatest Sheikah minds of the time, maybe of all time, to complete. Perfect thing to use once and burry out of sight, out of mind.

Divine Beast Vah Medoh Travel Log

(Did some writing from Link’s POV. It’s early game him [I have 6 hearts and barely any food, doing a run where I can’t fast travel, I have to give Link a sleep schedule to the best of my ability and at least one meal a day, though it wouldn’t be bad if he stayed up collecting bugs all night right???] But I wanted to kinda do a RP run to challenge myself and develop some new Headcannons. But here’s the stuff I wrote down as I did Vah Medoh! Enjoy :)

Link's Diary:

Word Count: 656

NIGHT 1

With Teba’s help, I was able to board the Divine Beast. It was a little scary with the cannons, as they sounded like Guardians, but it wasn’t too bad for me. Unfortunately though, we didn’t both come out unscathed as Teba was injured by one of the blasts. After a word of encouragement from him, he returned to the Flight Range. I hope he’s ok…When I registered the Sheikah Slate to Vah Medoh though…I heard a voice. He seemed…annoyed at me. He seemed to know what I was there for…Is it Revali? He sounds exactly like him…He challenged me to get the map, and I didn’t run into too much trouble as I got it. The air was filled with this sickly flaky stuff, ew. But, I found the first terminal!

DAY 1

Well, I solved the puzzle for the second terminal pretty fast, though I feel kind of sick trying to keep Magnesis up and working while Vah Medoh goes back and forth tilting this way and that…Makes me nauseous…I would try eating something but maybe lying down would help…Sorry Revali…I think. 

After a nap I do feel a bit better. I decided to get some fresh air, but it was a bad idea too…I got a little lightheaded from how high up I am. Though the view of Hyrule is so worth it…I got a picture of the castle too. It’s so small! I climbed to the very front of Vah Medoh and got a Giant Ancient Core! Not very excited to go back though…everything is so narrow…lucky for me I have the Paraglider, but I don’t think it would even last that long from how high in the air I am. Ugh….Nauseous again…this thing was definitely not built for Hyilans….ugh…DAMMIT I MISSED THE TERMINAL. And now Revali is laughing at me…great. I think I’m gonna vomit…I got another terminal though! It’s not the same one I passed, but it’s still closer to the goal. Two more to go! Revali even sounds impressed!

NIGHT 2

ONE MORE!! But I think I need to vomit seriously. Uh…Nobody look? Revali especially, I’m already embarrassed from earlier-

Out comes…the last two meals I had…ugsh….uhh…I feel terrible…I think I’m dying…I think I’ll lay down again…

…I had my first nightmare…It was…Unsettling. The cannons on Vah Medoh were all aimed at me, and I couldn’t move…Revali was it there too…He just repeated what he said in the memory I regained…Maybe the motion sickness got to me, hah…

DAY 2

Well, I’m at the last terminal. It’s now or never! I spent the rest of the night roasting a bunch of foods on the fire I made. Don’t worry, Vah Medoh isn’t flammable! I got the last terminal! It’s time to take this thing back from Ganon!

I…I did it. I freed Vah Medoh from the Blight…And almost….cried. Not from the fight but…I guess seeing Revali again did something to me…His spirit, that is…He seemed proud, unlike how he looked in that memory I gained…Maybe…Maybe he is proud of me? I don’t get why but…It made me really happy to see him. I’m glad that Rito Village is safe now though, and I’m glad for the new skill Revali passed down to me. It’s named after himself, which…isn’t surprising. The fight against the Blight was really tough and I got hurt a lot, but it was all worth it in the end, the Rito can fly freely in the sky now with no worries! I should probably go check on Teba though…

I checked up on him, he’s ok! I also spoke with the Elder, he said I would be the splitting image of my past self with the ‘sword that seals the darkness’ or something like that. Sounds important! Anyway he gave me a reward! It’s…It’s Revali’s bow..? Ok I think I need a moment, lots of emotions are being felt right now…
