#cane of somaria

[silentsenior09]

Now that both the bonus videos are completed, let's get back to the main meat and potatoes. Time to work on finishing Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past. Today, we traverse through the 7th dungeon: Turtle Rock.

[ok-pop-1]

i love my boys. i love dunmeshi. therefore, i present, dunmeshi au

[pelicanpig]

Long live the magic cape!

for my next trick i'll make this rabbit disappear 🪄

[snowstories]

The Cane of Somaria is such a funny item. Truly one of the items of all time. It's like, hey! You went through an entire dungeon, slaughtered dozens of monsters, faced death and peril around every corner! Have a stick that creates a block.

Dolls for Hyrule

Fanfic prompt : After linked universe

Legend would go on to create dolls for Hyrule

Knowing that Hyrule’s survival depended on them during his adventure

He would create them first slowly having yet to know how exactly they work

Using threads and fabrics from Hytopia to guarantee they work

Outright mass producing them by himself till his hands were bloodied and he was tired of seeing them

Till he could make them near blind barley looking

Till he outright despised them from how much it hurt him to make them again and again and again

Every time he stabbed himself with the needle

How much it would annoy him to redo the threads because he missed the right part to sew

How tired he got from doing it day and night

At some point he didn’t even try to redo them if he got blood on them by accident

But stopping at making them could endanger Hyrule’s life

So he continued until he physically couldn’t anymore because his hands hurt from doing the threads again and again without pause

It hurt that his old injuries were making themselves known again later in his life

He never thought he would even reach an age over thirty

But was it really worth it if his bones ached and his hands shook from repeating the same thing every day without much pause

He really hates retirement now

Especially because he isn’t caring for his orchard of apple trees and sitting at home with ever worsening pain watching them wither and grow uncared for by the end

Maybe him wasting his life truly was for the betterment of Hyrule

Wouldn’t even be the first time that he got permanent damage from helping somebody (he knew that the pain he feels would get worse with time)

…even if Hyrule might never know how much making him little dolls makes him hate the very concept of sewing or dolls

Maybe he could write to Hyrule about stuff if he really wants the other to know how much he hates his dolls

A book or letter might survive several centuries

It would be a link to the past

It's not like he can really do anything beyond sitting around in bed and waiting for his hands to fully fail him as he uses them

He barely can even walk without a cane

,… using the cane of somaria as a crutch somehow still makes it more useful than placing blocks

It’s hilarious how useless he is by now

He isn’t going to even beat Warriors' age isn’t he

Dead under forty seems like a joke

Would he see his chain of friends again

Would hylia tell him that he sucks or would he be forced on another adventure by her

Would she maybe tell him it was worth it,…

Except it wasn’t , was it ?

Hyrule will fall and every injury and pain he gained would be for nothing ,… afterall he IS making magic tokens for a hero in a broken world

He was sent on one other adventures after the chain parted ways still

Because the goddess wouldn’t stop until he was beyond ruined

Cadence was a great friend to make, sure

But it was probably the last time he would be able to fight for Hyrule

He met the fates

They would see in the future ,… and he knows how he will die

He died a few times

They revived him but he feels how his body slowly failing him after his latest adventure

This is how he would go

Slowly but steadily getting worse

He supposes dying is not fully reversible

It hasn’t helped that Ravio has probably been forced into the war of eras by now

… or he just abandoned him and never returned

He hopes it is the later because he doesn’t want him to suffer the war

Would hylia have taken him if he was useful still

… is that why Ravio went in his stead

He selfishly hopes that Ravio would be horrified by his condition

After all he never saw him succumb to his pain

Does he even know ?

After all the merchant disappeared before he could die in everything but body

Because he truly is dead already

The most painful part would be that his friends probably still think that he is making dolls…

Would they only find out when they check on his house many months later ?

He hopes he can see Marin when he is gone

,… and apologize for killing her

Because he will be just as dead

Meanwhile Ravio after several years in a war returned

For him it was years

He was assured it would be only months in his timeline

Yet he was to late by a day nonetheless

He saw a hero surrounded by dolls

Just as non living as all of them

And a letter to hide all off them well

[linderosse]

Oh my

Trirod

Heck yeah!!! Fable’s used to this kind of stuff— Canes and rods go brrrrr >:)

If Echo ends up being Fable, I could totally see her combo-ing the Cane of Somaria and the trirod to create and clone extra giant orange blocks, stack them, and then explode the whole block tower at once 😆.

(Info: Somaria blocks, unlike the Somaria platform Fable is summoning here, shoot fireballs out of them in all cardinal directions when they’re dispelled. You can normally only summon one block at a time, but if you summon a block with the Cane of Somaria and then clone it with the Trirod…🔥)

Masterpost

[the0maski]

Oh look! I escaped containment! Update Entrance | part 2

So normal dungeon size. Would be cool to see what the different floor look like and for what reason the temple had been used in the past. Could there be references to one of them? An old inscription telling one of the Link’s legend?

-

Oh yes the reason Hyrule Warriors isn’t a canon Zelda game…and my personal one-sides beef with Aonuma! The timeline would be so much easier…

Anyway, Hyrule Warriors features some dungeons, but you just run and fight the hoards of monsters.

Love the their shock faces! And then there is Time. Don’t know if the side eye is because Time is the most stoic 3D Link, or because my boy is going through high level stress?

-

Interesting piece of LU lore! Either that or Wars purposely mentions Ganon.

Cause, technically, Cia started the War of Ages. Yes she was under the influence of Ganon, but it was her obsession that also lead to the events in HW.

And that, snuck under Ganon’s snout is not true for all of them.

Time literally played into Ganondorf’s plan in the first half of Oot. (In MM, if you look at Skull kid with the telescope. Majora will always look at you, what means they know where you are)

The same goes for Legend, in a Link between Worlds. Hilda had asked for his help, only so she could have the Triforce of Courage. Meaning that they had to be watching him somehow to make sure everything was going according to plan.

And also, I think that Zant had an eye on Twilight, not sure if from the very beginning or at some point in the game.

-

Yes recurrent items. I wonder if Hyrule has already left something hidden somewhere, for a future hero to find? The hero to follow would be Warriors so, has he any items of Hyrule?

Interesting enough, Twilight’s hero’s clothes are often said belonged to Time, because Ordona made the comment that the green tunic belonged to an ancient hero. But it makes more sense that there actually belonged to Sky, since Time isn’t an official hero in that timeline.

(Some other example of what Hyrule said, would be:

Four’s Gust Jar -> Sky’s Gust bellows

Four’s Mole Mitts -> Sky’s Digging mitts/ Mogma mitts

Four’s Small Shield -> Wind’s Hero’s shield

Four’s Cane of Pacci -> Legend’s Cane of Somaria/ Cane of Byrna

Twilight’s Ball and Chain -> Warrior’s Ball and Chain

Time’s Hero’s Bow -> Twilight’s Hero’s Bow)

-

Twilight saw the opportunity to bite War’s ego and took it! Meanwhile, Four worries about some enemies only found in dungeons, why is he the only one who cares about his brother getting badly hurt?

Wind is clearly screaming inside.

-

Nice call back to when LU hasn’t had a storyline!

This part could be also mean that some of the doodles can be taken as Slice of Life parts, though some of them still hadn’t taken place yet.

-

Hyrule knows that it is important to know the enemy and be prepare. Like that about his character, as much as he likes to goof around and get lost in the world, he knows when to take things serious.

(He might quote this even from his game? His text does read like something an NPC in game would say.)

-

Legend‘s little prank here is a good way to show the captain how it’s feels to be grabbed by a Wallmaster. So no blame to the Vet, this might be even good.

More on part 3

[tendertendrils1]

@rodent-anon and I were talking about rabbit Link the other day, so here is some grumpy rabbit Link for you for Easter.

Link couldn’t remember the last time he’d been in rabbit form for long enough for this to happen. But Ravio wanted “bun bun cuddles,” Link might have fallen asleep, and when they both woke up again enough time had passed for Link’s little rabbit stomach to growl in hungry agreement with the gurgle from Ravio’s own midsection. 

Sleepily mumbling about snacks, Ravio deposited Link on the floor, nowhere near the moon pearl resting high up on one of the cupboard shelves. The low clatters of Ravio digging through jars and half-awake self-directed commentary provided steady background noise while LInk himself woke up. 

His teeth itched. Rabbit instincts wanted to munch, but there was nothing inside Ravio’s Lorule home to graze on.

Link sniffed at the nearest crate. It smelled of damp. Slight mildew. He sneezed. 

Ravio’s unending prattle shot up several octaves in pitch. Definite cuteness overload range. Ugh. 

Link shook himself out. He moved across the floor, slowly exploring. The rug didn’t smell any better. Ravio’s voice returned to its usual pitch and tempo; his feet thumped across the floor, the sound of a knife against wood saying he’d found something to prepare for eating. 

For all the time Link spent in rabbit form while here in Lorule, most of it was in Ravio’s arms. He’d forgotten how big everything looked from down here. Crates rose up like the towering blocks made by the cane of somaria, the rough-hewn floor spreading out around him like an expansive landscape. Ravio’s table teetered on its spindly legs, the top towering well over Link’s fuzzy head. He skirted Ravio’s feet, ignoring the echoing sound of the knife. The smell of root vegetable wafted down and his stomach twinged, the itching in his teeth almost unbearable. 

The table legs smelled fine. He took a nibble. 

Oh, yes. That was good. Not the taste, exactly. But the feeling of something solid under his teeth, the satisfying way he could yank. Link went back in for another bite. Then another, his rabbit brain content to nibble away while Ravio worked above him. 

The sounds of the knife stopped. Almost done? Link couldn’t precisely place the scent of whatever he was chopping, but it smelled tantalizingly delicious. 

Ravio’s feet shuffled back, sending vibrations through the floor. 

“Mister Hero.” 

Bad tone. Link jerked, propelling himself out from under the table with one mighty leap before he quite realized what he’d done. 

“Don’t eat my furniture!”

Fuck you, I’m hungry! 

Link stomped. 

Ravio’s voice went incredulous. “Did you just–” 

Link stomped again. 

“Link.” There was a bit of a giggle to the words, now. How annoying. Ravio started towards him. His soft-soled boots seemed much bigger and louder like this. “If you’re going to chew on something, use one of the crates, not my only good furniture!”

The crates smell nasty! 

Ravio stooped down, clearly intending to pick him up. Link lept away, flicking his back feet up as he went. He didn’t need to be picked up like a misbehaving pet. Ravio snorted at him. But he stopped chasing and went back to the table. Good. 

Link’s ears perked up, head coming around despite himself when Ravio picked up a piece of whatever he’d been chopping and waved it through the air. 

“I guess you don’t want any of this, then.” He popped the piece in his mouth, the sound of his crunching adding insult to injury. Whatever it was smelled heavenly. Link’s little rabbit tummy twinged. 

Oh, fuck you. Link stomped at him again. 

Ravio snickered. He picked up another piece and crouched, holding it out. “Come here if you want any, husbun mine.”

Link wavered. But in the end, while he wasn’t actually mad, he very much was hungry. He almost changed his mind at the way Ravio’s face seemed to melt at his approach. That face said more cuddles were imminent. 

Whatever. 

Link yanked the vegetable from Ravio’s fingers. It crunched delightfully between his teeth, the flavor and texture of actual food much more satisfying than a table leg. So much so that he let Ravio pick him back up, tucking him into the crook of one arm and retrieving the plate of snacks with the other, carrying both back to bed to enjoy.

*Taps mic* *leans in* It is, the Wizard.

Imagine this, Wild for the sake of fun, dresses as Dark Link. He starts to stand ominously stare behind trees in the costume, and eventually goes for a full jumpscare.

How would the guys react?

asjsjskdjsjkadfs hi Wizard hope this email finds you well

Sky: he saw Wild changing into the Dark costume a few weeks ago. Wild made a “shush” gesture and Sky nodded solemnly, Comitting to The Bit. He’s hiding behind some bushes making creepy noises with a flute he whittled specifically for this purpose.

Wind: at first he thought it was a friendly ghost (it’s more likely than you’d think) but he started getting more and more paranoid as the apparition would never speak to him or show its full form, which is a bad omen. The moment Wild jumps out, he knocks out a Light Arrow, which luckily only plucks the hat off and reveals Wild’s hair tucked into a messy bun.

Four: at first he thought it was a friendly shadow (it’s more likely than you’d think) but there was no way that creature wasn’t stalking them, possibly to give information to Ganon. He tried chasing it a few times but never got close enough before it disappeared. He turns into the Colors and quickly pins Wild on the ground who just grins and offers a deal to keep a secret for a secret.

Legend: knows a transformation trick when he sees one. Sure, he has his shield and sword out in an instant, but a quick look with the Magic Mirror confirms the truth. He decides to whip out the most chaotic items he has just to mess with Wild. Think: cane of Somaria, quake medallion, tornado rod, fire gloves.

Hyrule: he’s been saving his Thunder spell for just this purpose. He knows better than to try to fight his shadow in melee combat. If Thunder doesn’t knock him down, there’s always Fire.

Twilight: fights shadow with shadow, so he’d turn into wolfie and tackle him in record time. After which he’d recognize him based on scent and let some drool fall on Wild’s face as punishment.

Warriors: at first I thought he would be the most impulsive Link (one does not survive what he did at the Temple of Souls without significant trauma) but after some thought I think that whole experience left him with a lot of insight and self control. Thus, he would notice the foe is not made of actual darkness (Wild has his own shadow after all) and tie him up to interrogate him. Wild would Commit To The Bit for as long as possible. Sky is still making creepy noises behind a bush.

Time: The suit in BOTW / TOTK resembles him specifically. Those damn red eyes bring up the worst memories of his quest, no, quests. For this, I crown Time as Most Likely to Cause a Lethal Wound. He’d become friends with Mipha though so it’s fine.

[twilightlux]

[adrift-in-thyme]

Defenestration

Just another day in the life of a hero, Legend thinks with dull irritation, as intricate panes of stained glass shatters around him, raining down on the foliage beneath, heralding his own plummet seconds later.

Gritting his teeth against the rock hard pit in his stomach, Legend reaches into his pouch and grasps the Cane of Somaria.

It’s a good thing he has items for moments such as this; still, he certainly would’ve preferred to not start his morning with a monster’s enraged act of defenestration.

[mizaruwu]

@kaite--s thanks for asking :D

This is sans (average undertale fanart asdfghjk)

and this, is asfd

legend would be holding the cane of somaria when it's done, the wip title is a just keysmash HAHAHAHA

[the-starlight-papers]

This started out as a meme but I ended up going kind of overkill with the spreadsheet and so:

A comprehensive chart showing which items are present across all mainline Zelda games.

With bonus section showing the percentage of games that have each item, which is also broken down by percentage of 2D and 3D games.

Bonus observations below the cut:

Bombs were the most ubiquitous item, with all the games except Adventure of Link (Zelda 2) having them. Bow and arrow were the next most common, being in all games except the Oracle games, then followed by the boomerang which was in all but 3.

Some items are very common in 3D games, but not at all common in 2D games. The Master Sword is far more common in 3D games (15% 2D, 86% 3D), which makes sense because the 3D games tend to be more lore-heavy. Fire/ice arrows (0% 2D, 71% 3D) are in most 3D games as well, but are in absolutely no 2D games. This is likely because fire/ice rods made more sense in top-down 2D games than fire/ice arrows.

Some items are very common in 2D games but not common in 3D games. The main example for this is strength items (69% 2D, 29% 3D). This makes sense as small rocks in 2D games are often used as barriers Link has to push or pick up, requiring a strength item. This doesn’t work as well in 3D, so rocks are typically just bomb-able, no strength item required (except OoT).

The Oracle games and BotW/TotK are both sort of overpowered with their influence in on the results. Each set of games has similar item pools, and not having an item in both games will affect the results by about 10%. I definitely think the Oracle games should be counted separately, because they have fairly different item pools due to their different play styles. BotW/TotK are almost identical, but they are separate games that came out six years apart, so I will be counting them separately as well.

And finally, because it made me laugh, the Hero of Legend picks up two separate Cane of Somarias, one in ALttP and one in OoA.

If anyone sees any mistakes or has an item they think I should add please let me know. I tried to get every item that showed up at least twice. I have only played about half of these games though, so I would not be surprised if there was a few mistakes.

[deuterosapiens]

So, there's a new Echoes of Wisdom trailer. There's a few points I want to talk about, so give that a glance if you can.

We now know things! A few things, however, stood out to me like a giant neon sign.

There's the obvious hints that screw with any of our initial timeline assumptions, which just shows how annoying it is that Zelda Theorists tend to jump on definitive answers when we have nowhere near the full picture. As a friend of mine pointed out, Gerudo tend to exist in every timeline except the Downfall. The Sea/River Zora split, however, only appears in the Downfall Era. Deku Scrubs, however, give me a headache: their primary presence is antagonistic in Ocarina of Time, their next appearance is Majora's Mask which does not take place in Hyrule; following this is Minish Cap, where they are debateably friendly; and Triforce Heroes which I did not play, but is a Downfall Era game.

The placement of Kakariko Village in relation to Death Mountain is interesting, as this is seen in Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess but to my memory, no other game. Additionally, Death Mountain is known as Eldin Mountain here, which is exclusively seen in Skyward Sword, to my memory.

The Zora having the Sea/River split is Downfall exclusive, but what's interesting is that their villages are not found in a named Lanayru Region, but the Jabul Region (named obviously for Jabu Jabu, Jabun, etc). This could just be an odd naming convention, but we will get to this momentarily. We also see a snowy Region which might be Hebra, though let's not forget that Twilight Princess places its snowy mountains in Lanayru, if I recall correctly. What's interesting about this snowy Region is we see none of it in the trailers, but I'm going to assume there's some residency or settlement there. If so, it could be Rito as established by Breath of the Wild, it could be Yeti, as established by Twilight Princess, it could be Anouki, as seen in Phantom Hourglass. It could be any of the previously seen and confirmed to be present Races, or it could be uninhabited. We don't know, but it does have gears turning to me.

What's honestly jumping out to me the most though is the Gordo. Yeah, a single enemy is causing me a spectacular degree of headache and speculation. If I recall correctly, they appear in exactly one game: Link's Awakening. They are notable though, as they are not traditional Zelda enemies, they are Kirby enemies. They exist as roadblocks in Link's Awakening, but they are another piece of evidence hinting at the true nature of Koholint Island. Now, Echoes of Wisdom clearly borrows a substantial amount from the Switch version of Link's Awakening, so it could just be a bear developmental Easter Egg. Or it could be a hint at a significant development. Or I'm overthinking that, which is a distinct possibility.

Zelda walking into the fissures at the end of this trailer seems to hint at more Dual World gameplay. This is to be expected, as Dual World gameplay is kind of a staple of the series. As this Hyrule does take inspiration from the Hyrule of A Link to the Past (and its sequel), it wouldn't be too farfetched for us to assume there's another bit of Light World/Dark World, Hyrule/Lorule interplay here. Again, an assumption with little evidence.

Yikes, a lot of timey-wimey discussion and I haven't even hit of any of the more pressing details: the Bind Mechanic.

Bind is clearly an answer to Magnesis and Ultrahand, with Reverse Bond being the exact same mechanic... in REVERSE!! I have nothing to say about Bind because we've had two games with this mechanic that have sold me on it as a puzzle-solving tool, but the use of Reverse Bond reminds me a bit of the Hookshot in some situations, and the Dominion Rod in others (is the Tri Rod the Cane of Somaria, or the Dominion Rod??? I can hear some theorists screaming in hyper-editted video format. No, no it likely isn't. There's no evidence of either, at this point).

Horses! Zelda is seen riding two separate horses, which imply that she doesn't just have the one and can likely find and tame others, or that she has the option of purchasing or gaining different horses with different stats through quests or other means. I like the white one! It's preeeeeeetty. (Did that make you uncomfortable, hearing that in my own voice made me uncomfortable, and since you have no idea what my voice sounds like, just assume Sméagol's first encounter with Shadowfax).

Outfits! I have no opinion here. I cared about playing dress-up in Tears of the Kingdom for one reason, and that took 152 Shrines to deal with. But, if Zelda receives an outfit based on the three Dragon Armors, she will be the most Opulent Princess to ever Opulent Princess!

There's definitely an obvious focus on finding your own solutions which is becoming the new normal for Zelda titles, and I absolutely love this approach. Though I see there's a bit of backlash from other fans, who would like a more traditional approach where one puzzle has one solution. I enjoy those games, I adore those games. I love the direction we are taking though, and if we could find a healthy blend between the two, I do feel we will have reached peak Zelda.

I'm excited, my excitement has not wavered but it has been renewed. I'm ready for this game!

[fever-project]

Hee hoo @linked-through-the-centuries fan art. Saw Past’s outfit and I knew what must be done. I did add a few flourishes, since Jes said that they had a lot of jewelry and a cane. I’m putting my thoughts on these things under the cut, as well as Past without the jewelry and extra little embroidery.

I got inspired by the Cane of Somaria and Byrna, which are red and blue respectively, so naturally I had to give him a green cane that resembles those canes. Although it’s much taller than those and has thorns(?) that can act as handholds. I think. Idk I just thought it looked cool tbh. I tried to make it fancy but stuff like that isn’t really my strong suit. I was able to match the crystals on the cane with Past’s earrings though, so that’s a win. I did try to make it look magical but not have any real magic, and adding a big ol’ Pendant of Courage fits well enough in my eyes, since although it helps unlock the Master Sword, it doesn’t seem to have any magic of its own.

Now onto the jewelry! The earrings are made to match the cane and such, and the triangle necklace looks like the triforce! It also has silver tassels(I think that’s the right word)on the chain because I like it. Lastly, the pink pendant! I based it on the gem that’s on the Tri Suit from Triforce Heroes, because I love that game. Also, it’s pink, it fits.

I also think I should’ve redrawn the hair, but it looks good enough.

[bokettochild]

this is.

so so freaking late I am so sorry but uh here! To celebrate Graduation!

“You are an absolute idiot,” Legend declared, poking Warriors in the side.

“I told you we should’ve stayed at the castle. But did we, no! Because someone just had to go get a drink!”

Warriors slurred something out and groaned. Legend tried to adjust their positions so he took more of Warriors’ weight.

“And so of course, because the people of your world are idiot abandonné, you got a freaking spiked drink!! Honestly Wars, I thought you knew better than this!”

“Thought…was safe….”

“Yeah, well. Clearly you were wrong. Because now we have to deal with these idiots!” Legend let him slump against the nearest wall. He rummaged through his pack, looking for something, anything, that could get them out of this mess. That ring wouldn’t work… the fire rod would make everything worse… the heart ring might help? He slipped it on Warriors’ finger, just in case. The blue joy ring… ugh, he wasn’t even sure it would work in this Hyrule. Cane of Somaria… would probably come in handy. He put that one next to Wars, too. 

“Heh… y’ur the vet. C’use you h’ve all the it’ms. ‘S f’nny.” Wars was barely coherent now.

“Yeah, I bet it is. Do you have a red potion on you?”

“Nope!” Wars said, popping the ‘p’ and giggling at the sound.

“Why not!?” Legend sighed, exasperated. Honestly, he’d forgotten how childish the man was when drugged.

“G’ve it to Wind. Ne…Nee…Need-” Warriors made a face stumbling over the word.

“Needed?” “Yeah! Wh’ever th’t word is.”

Legend sighed again.

“So you’re out of potions?” “H’ve… green one… b’t it’s for ‘Rule… Only ‘Rule…” Wars looked as serious as he could when saying the last part. It didn’t do much good. He was far too gone for that.

“Okay. So that leaves us with…” Legend ran a hand through his hair. How did he not have something that would help with poison damage!?!?

“Leg-” Warriors clumsily reached for his hand, “y’u g’tta g’t o’tta h’re-” “Not without you, Blue. Nice try.”

“Vi- Ple-” “I said no, Warriors. That’s enough.” Okay so maybe he hadn’t meant to pull out the Older Brother voice he used with Wind, but it worked! Wars slumped, looking defeated.

“Don’ wan’ y’u to die…”

“I’m not gonna die. But you might if you don’t pipe down and let me figure out what to do here.” Warriors closed his mouth with a snap.

Legend bit his lip. Maybe… The Rod of Seasons? There was a good risk of getting drenched but it might throw them off the scent for a bit.

But if he…

Oh.

Oh! That might just work…

He quickly slipped a different ring on Warriors’ finger. It took only a moment for him to change, and suddenly Hyrule was in front of him, instead of Warriors.

“Please let this work…” He whispered, then pulled his brother onto his back, and whipped out the Rod of Seasons, making it rain.

And Legend booked it.

For the most part, he managed to avoid everyone. But he did have to pull something out more than once.

His Roc’s cape. His Holy Green Ring. His Pegasus Boots.

He kept his grip tight on Wars, making sure he didn’t slip, making sure the disguise held up.

He was soaked to the skin by the time he made it back to the castle. Impa was outside, waiting for him.

“I’ll get him to the infirmary. Your friends are waiting in the South Wing.”

He activated his Pegasus boots to get him dry as he ran.

Unfortunately, that didn’t stop him from getting thrown into a bath by Twilight.

Ugh, wolf breath.

I LOVE IT!!!!!

And, I'm sorry, i kinda had to resist squealing when they used the nicknames. Like, I know you wrote it for me, but I hadn't expected that would get adopted for any reason whatsoever but it makes me really happy to see stuff I use included in other people's stuff?

Anyways, I really enjoyed this! Thank you so much, Silver!
