Oh? It seems you have an interesting journal right there...what is it about, if you don't mind me asking..?

-Riju

Why don't you ask @asktheritochampion a question yourself? Be sure to make it very specific for accuracy.

(Out of character post)

I didn’t expect things to go so far to the point that violent threats would be made against our fellow blog runner @asktheritobowyer. Disagreements are bound to happen within this space, and that’s perfectly fine! But people shouldn’t spam malicious asks because of that. Before sending an ask, please remember that there are real people who read and respond to them. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for askHarth right now.

AskHarth, I’m so sorry that you experienced this, and I apologize if my (Teba’s) response escalated the situation further. I didn’t anticipate the amount of negative reception Harth would receive after posting it and looking back, I should have considered the fandom’s potential reactions (both positive and negative). I hope you’re doing alright, and no matter what people say we all support you! Hopefully moving forward people will refrain from sending violent asks and act cordially to prevent situations like this from happening again.

Also to everyone, I apologize for the constant mischaracterization of Teba. I’ve been portraying him extremely out of character compared to canon Teba but the way I’m running this blog (other than my longer manga posts that aren’t reblogs) is mostly to motivate myself to draw and make Teba do wholesome, fun things (alone or with the other Zelda bloggers :DD). It’s very self indulgent. I’m sorry (as of now and in advance) if the way I respond as Teba doesn’t match the expectations of the community or the asker 🙏🙏

Here, Harth, have some cesium metal! It would be really cool if you threw it into Lake Totori!

(Blogger note: I know Caesium isn't that explosive. But Harth doesn't lol.)

Many times I often wonder to myself did the Sage of Wind in the distant past have a friend who crafted his bow for him like I did for Teba, or did he craft his own bow and taught the method to my distant family. It is such a mystery to me. There's so much history hidden in the distant past.

How many pinecones can you balance on your beak?

Can't say I've ever done such a thing. But you know what they say, there's a first time for everything. So let's find out.

Hello Harth! I have a rather unconventional archery technique out of necessity, holding the bow with one wing and relying on my beak to draw the string. Since Tulin uses a similar technique and you've already kitted him out with a bow, are there any considerations I should keep in mind when looking for a bow upgrade? Thanks!

—❄️🪶

Why hello young warrior.

I'm happy to hear about your unconventional archery technique coming along nicely. I imagine that using such a unique method likely wasn't easy for you to manage. With all that said, I'm sure the pay off will definitely be worth it.

Since you’ve mentioned your wing and beak approach, there are several factors to consider when selecting a bow upgrade.

Firstly, prioritizing weight is key. A lightweight bow will be easier to handle with one wing and will minimize fatigue. I'd suggest looking for bows made from more advanced materials, as they offer durability without compromising weight. Which which for your style of archery will definitely be a boon for you.

Secondly, consider the draw weight. As a unique shooter, opting for a lower draw weight might enhance your accuracy and make it easier to manage with your technique. If the weight is to much, it will undoubtedly affect your ability to fly and shoot.

Lastly, ensure that the grip is comfortable for your wing, as this will lead to better control. Perhaps test out bows that have a more accommodating grip design, their are several options available for you, so feel free to experiment.

As a final bit of advice, considering your style of archery is modelled after Tulin's, I'd recommend asking him for advice. I'd also urge you to approach Link for advice, as he helped him develop that style of archery. Also won't hurt to visit the flight range and have Kaneli help guide your exploits.

Happy shooting young warrior, and may your skills continue to soar.

Exactly @askthenewritoelder we need to think very rationally about this. We certainly don't want anyone to get hurt. Which is exactly why we need to...hit Medoh to bring it down?...Wait a minute...

Teba are you perhaps still salty that we both lost to Medoh, so you want this to happen, so you can watch Link bring it down?

I took a detour up to the great plateau. Was nobody going to tell me there’s a buried divine beast in the hills?? Does anyone KNOW?!

[asktheritobowyer]

Crossbows aren't as effective as regular bows! They have a shorter draw distance so even against a bow with an equivalent draw weight the bow will shoot it farther and with more power because of the draw distance!

Hi bird with fabulous hair 👋

What's the rito's best kept secret?

- 🐗

The Rito tribe holds many secrets or mysteries, but none to me is more intriguing than the enigmatic figure of Teba and Tulin's ancestor during the Calamity.

Like Teba and Tulin, they would also be a descendant of the Sage of Wind, and they would have been around during the time Link and Revali were active during the Calamity. Yet, strangely enough, I've found no records of their existence. Despite the deep ties the Rito have to their illustrious past, there are no records capturing the life and deeds of this elusive ancestor.

Who were they? Were they a Rito Warrior defending their kin against the encroaching darkness? Perhaps they were traveller, traversing the skies, or a craftsman, shaping tools and weapons that aided in battles. Since Teba had some connect to Vah Medoh, that would also mean this ancestor would have had a connection to Vah Medoh as well, did they possibly relinquish their right or responsibility to another, or were they simply not noticed, did they even know they had a connection.

This lack of documentation also raises another question, did the Calamity in its destructive course, end up obliterating all records of their contributions, or was it erased by another?

The absence of records about their ancestor during this time leaves a tantalizing gap. There have many days were I have been left wondering who was this individual.

carpet

Well now that's quite the introduction.

Are you perhaps asking what carpet is? Well to me, a carpet is more than just a piece of fabric covering the floor, it’s a tapestry of comfort and warmth in ones home.

As you walk across its soft fibres, you're bound to feel an inviting embrace that transforms a cold room into a cozy sanctuary, or a warm room to kick back and relax.

It absorbs the sounds of daily life, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, a carpet is a canvas where memories unfold, from family gatherings to quiet evenings. To me a carpet embodies the essence of home, and it's easier to see why so many homes have them.

If you're interested in getting a carpet perhaps you should buy one. I'm sure there are many places across Hyrule that sell them.
