this flopped in the chat, but 'frosted dawn' can work through my *delusional* crafting

focus on the keyword(s): gods and freljord for this because frosted!ezreal could actually be going to the freljord in order to seek out his uncle (if alive) or to at least try to find the remains of lymere's studies in freljord

how does dawnbringer!yone tie into freljord?? (well the skin description is probably keeping in ionia, but we dont need to look into it that hard just learn to accept imaginative ideas)

basically the skin description seems to fit pretty well into the worldbuilding of freljord (gods on the brink of war, someone needs to stop it)

aurora has likely encountered yone, and has strong opinions(TM) about yone too, she comes from freljord as well and would likely meet ezreal, who is best known as a traveler; basically aurora will be out there accidentally bringing ez and yone to meet each other in freljord??

either way, ezreal hunting for artifacts that will likely get him into trouble and yone getting caught up in it while trying to prevent a war of gods in the freljord

OKAY SO

Skyward Sword

Link: Forger. Pretty self-explanatory, his game's whole mechanic is forging the Master Sword. I also headcanon that he founded the Knights of Hyrule- like the specific branch of the Royal Army that almost every Link has blood ties to, so you could say he forged he order as well.

Zelda: Goddess. Again, quite self-explanatory. She's the reincarnated goddess Hylia. But I like her name so :3

Minish Cap/Four Swords

Link: Fractal. Mostly comes from Four Swords, because when white light is refracted through a prism it separates into the different colors. Fun fact, when he's wearing his Four Sword guardian uniform and is unified, it's white!

Zelda: Radiance. Comes from her unique connection to the Light Force; also plays into the refracted light motif that Fractal has going on.

Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask

Link: Orpheus. If you know Greek Mythology, you can... kinda see this one coming from a mile away. If you aren't familiar with the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, I'll give a brief synopsis. A poor young man, Orpheus, who also happens to be the son of the Muse of Epic Poetry and the god Apollo, the god of (among other things) music and song, is incredibly gifted at his given instrument- the lyre. At a young age, he falls in love with Eurydice, a kind and beautiful young woman, and according to the interpretation, they're either about to be married or celebrating their marriage when Eurydice is suddenly ripped away from her love- in the myth's case, she is bitten by a snake and dies. So Orpheus goes on an epic quest to save his love's soul from the underworld- and, using his talent on his instrument, he actually gets there and ends up managing to convince Hades, the god of the dead, to give him back Eurydice. However, there is one stipulation- he can't look back at her as they're walking out of the Underworld. At the last moment, he gives into his growing paranoia and looks back, and she is ripped away from him forever. He ends up succumbing to despair and, according to the interpretation, either stops playing music or only plays tragic songs about his lost love. Either way, the outcome is the same- he angers the river nymphs, who tear him to pieces and set his disembodied head floating down their river. So, especially if you're a Zelink addict like me, you can see the parallels, although one very important distinction is that Link doesn't succumb to despair after losing Sonata the first time, and (at least in my interpretation) is able to have a happy and loving marriage with her in the Child timeline until his own death.

Zelda: Sonata. Originally, her name was Eurydice to match with Link, but there weren't enough parallels between them for me to like the name much. I ended up choosing Sonata because of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", which kind of reminded me of Zelda's Lullaby.

Twilight Princess

Link: Dawnbringer. The TWILIGHT- which begins the night- settles into Hyrule. His job is to restore the light to Hyrule, ending that night. What ends the night? The DAWN. He BRINGS the DAWN to Hyrule. He is the DAWN BRINGER.

Zelda: Eos. To match with her Link, she is named after the Greek Titaness of the Dawn. Her Roman name was Aurora, but I like Eos better and I think it fits this Zelda better anyway.

Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass

Link: Awakener. Not as complicated as some of the others, but he wakes the wind and awakens the spirits of Old Hyrule to help on his quest. Also I thought it was cool :3

Zelda: Tetra. It's literally her name. I actually headcanon Zelda as being her middle name- her mother, Pirate Queen Amberine, was also a Zelda but after the flooding of Old Hyrule it became the custom to give the name as a middle name in order to give some protection against Ganondorf and his minions.

Spirit Tracks

Link: Engineer. He drives a train. Need I say more?

Zelda: Phantasma. She's a ghost, so I was going for something like "Phantom". So, we have Phantasma.

A Link to the Past/Oracle Games/Link's Awakening

Link: Odysseus. Originally, his name was going to be Hercules or Herakles because he was on the most adventures and I wanted to relate it to the 12 labors of Hercules, but I didn't feel like that suited his vibe very much because of the public perception of Hercules. But Odysseus also fit, and as Evie and I once had a long and surprising conversation about, there are several interesting parallels that I didn't even realize when I named him, such as Koholint/Calypso's Island and Marin/Calypso, having a patron goddess to look out for him, battling simply to get home to his lady love (then simply friend; they entertain a brief flirtation during ALttP but don't actually begin a serious relationship until after Link's Awakening and the Oracle Games), et cetera.

Zelda: Visionary. She has probably the most prophetic visions of any Zelda (except maybe Sonata, but for reasons I can go into in a separate post I headcanon that she has them more frequently and in more severity). You see, her visions compensate for something else- she's blind. The only way she can "see" is through her visions. This came to me one day during Theology class and I grabbed it in a chokehold and refused to let it go. You can pry blind Visionary from my cold dead hands.

A Link Between Worlds/Tri Force Heroes

Link: Graffiti. Due to the art themes of the game (a motif he shares with his Zelda), but I wanted to give him a rougher, more down-to-earth name to suit his humble background.

Zelda: Iconography/Icon. Same reasoning as behind Graffiti, except that she's a holy princess so she gets a sacred art form as her name. I like Iconography but it's a bit long, so sometimes I just all her Icon, which is why she has two names. Ah, the benefits of growing up in both a Roman- and (sort of) Eastern Catholic household.

The Hyrule Fantasy/The Adventure of Link

Link: Genesis. He was the first chronological Link, so it is only fitting that he would get a name meaning "beginning".

Zelda: Dawn. NOT like the dawn I was talking about in regards to Twilight Princess, but rather like in the phrase "the Dawn of Time", because, like her Link, she was the first Chronological Zelda.

Zelda the First: Somnia. She slept for a little over 500 years. So yes, she gets a name meaning "sleep".

Hyrule Warriors

Link: Paladin. Something something sacred warrior bound to a patron deity, something something parallels. (I LOVE him)

Zelda: Valkyrie. Something something honorable warrior queen, something something goddess of fallen heroes, something something parallels. (have I stressed enough how much I ADORE this game.)

Pre-BotW

Link: Slayer. It was his job to Slay the Calamity 10,000 years ago. (I really love him and his Zelda and I have so many thoughts about them)

Zelda: Sealer. It was her job to Seal the Calamity 10,000 years ago. (no really I actually adore them. like you do not understand I may in fact go on a ranty post about them soon)

Breath of the Wild/Age of Calamity/Tears of the Kingdom

Link: Luminary. His name is taken from Zelda's little monologue at the very start of Breath of the Wild (and I quote):

"Link. You are the Light- OUR Light- that must shine upon Hyrule once again."

Luminary (continued): and also the jokes about him being an arsonist.

Zelda: Sunshine. She is compared to the sun SO. MANY. TIMES. And her Light powers-- SHE BECOMES A FREAKING DRAGON OF LIGHT. And she is my Sunshine because I love her so much.

Thank you so much for soming to my ramble! If you have any more questions or comments I'd be more than happy to answer them!

I’m desperately trying to remember who some of your links and zeldas are but alas I can’t find the post where you named them…

[mortallychaotickingdom]

So we have a young girl panicking... and looking worried too. She's the reason of the discord apparently.

But they will soon forget about this. Because a god appeared to them to explain what they are doing here.

Aaaaand finally, here's our precious cinnamon roll, Aurora!

"Blessed" by Eos, goddess of dawn.

Daughter of Hyperion, Titan affiliated to the celestial light and sun, and Theia, Titanide of sight.

"Blessed" again isn't the correct word: the goddess had been the inspiration for her name, -well the Azran/Roman version of it- and the symbolism behind the last golem.

After all, Aurora's awaking could either mean two things for the ones who free her from her ice prison: either it could mean their downfall, their "dusk" per se, or if they are worthy, could mean a new begining for their civilisation with the Azran's knowledge, a new "dawn".

The wand that she awaken with being Eos' one that she uses every day, litteraly called "the Dawnbringer" add to this. Also, the broch being a frozen flower, refering to her time in the ice as well; the snakes' bracelets on the other hand representing the guardian spirit, her role as the Sanctuary's guardian for all thos years.

But even with all of this, she is still a confused and worried young girl; the teleportation wasn't planned, or at least not by the Azrans and this is not a site she recognize. She doesn't care much for the change of clothes, but her worries come from two things: Desmond's scar -even if he assures that he doesn't feel pain and that he's fine- and... Bronev's presence, worsen by the golden dagger that he have.

That's probably why the first thing Desmond and the Professor did when they saw her was for the former to get before her as a living shield, and the latter to go to Bronev as to restrain him if necessary.

I was writing this scene for my Percy series ahead of time, and even though it's a few chapters down the story, I'm sooo happy with how it flows.

In this scene, one of my OCs, Anvor Dawnbringer, who acts as a father figure to my main OC Aurora (and is loosely based off of Vander from Arcane owo), has the "what are your intentions with my daughter" talk with Percy but it's so much better ognkasdasdkfb

“I pulled her out of the rubble after those bastards from Whitestone raided the village,” Anvor stared into the flame of the fireplace as it flickered, slowly turning the firewood to ashes. “I was there, Percival. No one was alive. The place wreaked of dust, ash, and decay. She was a baby, trapped under the pillars of what was once her home. She hadn’t eaten, heavens know if she had slept. Heavens know how she survived.”

Anvor took his gaze from the fire to the young, coated man who stared back at him, his round glasses reflecting the light of the fire.

“As far as I am concerned, she is my daughter,” Anvor continued. “I saw what Whitestone has done to her already, and over my dead body will I allow you to do that to her again.”

“I am not—”

“You are from Whitestone, boy!” Anvor stood and paced towards Percy, menacingly. “You are the nobility of the accursed kingdom, if what you say is true.”

“I am,” Percy stood his ground. “For better or for worse, I am from Whitestone, its rightful ruler if I have to take it with me to my grave. But sir, I am not a Briarwood. I am Lord Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo, the third.”

The gunslinger walked towards the fireplace, his gaze settled on the flames the way Anvor’s was prior to him, and with every flicker of the fire, an old memory became fresh before his eyes, a memory of sorrow, pain, death.

“You can be certain that I will have to be dead before I allow any harm to come to Aurora,” Percy continued, his voice dark before the fire’s light as he turned his gaze to Anvor. “Not that it will. I have no intention of returning to Whitestone.”

“Aye, but that is a lie you tell yourself,” Anvor faced Percy in front of the fire, his hand landing on Percy’s left shoulder, shocking the young man. “It is your blood. You hunger for justice, if not revenge. I won’t allow you to put Aurora anywhere near that.”

Percy remained silent as the smoke threatened to arise.

“It is simple, Percival,” Anvor continued. “I will not stand by while you or your heritage threaten my daughter.”

“What if I swore to you not to leave Emon?” Percy spoke up as the smoke within him dissipated.

Anvor chuckled, though his amusement held no mockery. “I do admire your bluster. You speak honorably; I have no doubt that your love for her is great. But do not swear what you will not keep. Not returning to Whitestone will destroy you, boy.”

“I intend to make Aurora happy,” Percy said. “I intend to make her my bride. I will guarantee her safety, and all I need is to be enough for her.”

Anvor sighed. “At the first sight of harm, you will be out of the picture.”

“Respectfully, what if she follows?” Percy inquired. “We’re both aware of her iron will.”

Anvor chuckled. “You have to be mad if you think either one of us will be able to compete with that.”

He went over to his armchair just in front of the fireplace while Percy continued looking at him; Anvor sat and interlaced his fingers before him, resting his elbows on his thighs. He leaned forward, his eyes still on Percy, wary yet trusting.

“Don’t you dare hurt her,” Anvor spoke. “If you do, I’ll have to kill you.”

“And I’ll understand.”

Anvor nodded and sat back on his chair just as his eyes flashed again. “Oh, and… whatever you do, don’t let that disgusting gnome do anything dubious with her.”

“Sir, if Scanlan tries anything, I’ll shoot him myself,” Percy chuckled, though not fully joking.

“Now that I can get behind,” Anvor stood up and went for the kitchen, intent on pouring two glasses of ale.

okay i loved the question so much, i NEED to know for aurora and jay. if they were a companion, what kind of voice lines would they have upon selection? what little barks? what would their stealth lines sound like 😳 is it seductive whisper or Normal......id love your thoughts

Slides in 8 months late with a mug of ale (THANK U <3)

Jay:

Selected: - At your service! - Time to get a move-on. [Note: A little antsy] - Oh, did you see that? [Note: Excited, looking at something out of frame] - DON'T touch the hat. [Note: Uncharacteristically serious]

Combat Barks: - So much for diplomacy. [Note: Sighing, would genuinely prefer to do this literally any other way] - Gonna feel this one come tomorrow morning [Note: Groaning a little, only played when he's at 50% health or less] - Just a lot of animal roars and sounds.

Stealth: - Quiet as a mouse. Or, maybe a rat. - Oh hey, a copper! [Note: Not quite whispering, forgetting himself for a moment] - Do I even need to crouch? [Note: A little incredulous] - This would be so much easier as a cat. [Note: Sighing wistfully]

Aurora:

Selected: - My blade is yours. - Sssh, shut up! [Note: Muttering under her breath, reacting to her intrusive thoughts] - Huh? [Note: Distracted, her mind elsewhere] - Lathander guide me.

Combat Barks: - Get behind me! - Morning Lord, grant me strength. [Note: Uttered almost like a prayer] - A necessary evil [Note: Trying to convince herself]

Stealth: - Ough, my knees... [Note: Groaning softly] - Can we please just get this over with? [Note: Whispering, voice strained from the exertion] - [Just the sound of metal clanking against something, followed by a row of almost imperceptible swears]

summer wildfires. a mixing of hot and cool air before a storm. silent lightning in the static of summer heat. a windy blizzard. thick flakes of snow tumbling down from the sky. a tree standing alone in a barren, yellow field. a desert of loose sand and tall, orange dunes. a pure blue sky. a river of molten rock. a grove of flowering trees. twisting, mangled roots sticking up from the muddy ground.

bitter, cold winds. tumultuous skies of stormy clouds. branches of lightning ripping across the sky. a foggy swamp. the tree-bare foothills of a mountain range. sandy brown cliff sides. rocky coastlines. the violent shaking of an earthquake. the mysterious sound of ethereal trumpets in the sky. the lights of the auroras borealis and australis.

a black sand beach. a lone tropical island in the reef of shallow, aqua waters. underwater volcanic vents. a herd of migrating mammals. tree branches growing heavy with ripe fruit. light streaming down through the clouds. a field of lush grain wading peacefully in the summer breeze. the sound of insects and frogs teeming in the night

Thanks for answering! Is it stated for any reason why the change in names? Also is there a list of names for the Daughter?

We moved from ‘Goddess’ to ‘Dea’ because the word ‘Goddess’ generally has a lot of connotations in this day and age that we don’t agree with. For example, searching the internet for ‘goddess worship’ will often land you knee deep in a lot of dominatrix pornography and fetish stuff. The word ‘goddess’ also seems to imply polytheism to many, as well as worship of ‘The Goddess’ as Mother Earth or the conciousness of every woman, rather than a Supreme Deity. 

I think the name change from Inanna to Anna happened for similar reasons. While there is still debate on who Inanna was, how she was worshipped, and what her functions were, generally she is seen as a sex and war goddess, and her most versions of her mythos imply she stole the keys of the underworld from her sister Irkalla for power gain and self interest, rather than the salvation of humanity like the Daughter. However, both the name Inanna and Anna have etymological roots in not only grace and salvation (Anna literally means ‘grace’) but also in Heaven, so we kept the name denoting Her as Queen of Heaven, but without the connotations the polytheistic Inanna often has associated with her.

The NCUV states, I think, that they use ‘Kore’ because it simply means ‘Maiden’ and the Daughter is the perfect archetypal Maiden. However, as for changing Dea to Thea, I’m not sure why they did it. Perhaps because they were using a Greek name for the Daughter, it made more sense to use a Greek name rather than a Latin one.

Names for the Daughter and their basis from various cultures generally include:- Inanna (Mesopotanian)- Anna (Hebrew)- Hannah (Hebrew)- Sophia (Greek) - Rhiannë (Celtic)- Kore (Greek)- Dea Filia (Latin)- Jana (Latin)- Kyria (Greek)I also sometimes call Her ‘Aurora’ meaning dawn, because of Her function as lightbringer/dawnbringer and Daughter of the Sun (the celestial Mother).
