Alright, guys, here's a piece that I have been fighting with, and I don't think I am going to completely finish😮‍💨. It's a piece of Cal fighting the champion hollows and getting the snot beat out of him. I hope it looks OK?

Part 1 of posting little clips of my favorite cutscene in Age of Calamity

Head pats :3

This 1000% happens in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

It's been ages since I last sketched Revali. Here's a bit of a warm up!

Urbosa and Revali perhaps

[Image ID: Two human-shaped figures with pride flag patterns on them on a black background. On the left is a figure with the lesbian/sapphic/wlw pride flag on her, and on the left is a figure with the gay/mlm pride flag on him. The wlw pride figure is kicking the mlm pride figure in the stomach, sending him flying back in the air. Written in white letters on the image are the words, “wlw/mlm hostility”. End ID]

YES GIRLBOSS 👏

BotW/AoC characters as strawberries

(Also, Age of Calamity is very underrated, it needs more attention)

“Danger”

I’m late to Revalink week, but I was cooking!! Here’s my contribution, a short comic inspired by none other than @star-pup01‘s fic Skybound Wishes ❤️

It’s sad hours over here. I’ve been rereading this fic in honor of Revalink Week, and Link witnessing Revali’s demise firsthand… 😔 In the Silent Realm, “Vah Medoh painted Link a perfect picture of Revali’s last moments” and yeah I’ve been emo about it for awhile. Day 2’s prompt “Danger” seemed to align with the despair Link must have felt in this moment… UGHHH

I didn’t capture the full scene here so please just go read Skybound Wishes 💖 we all know what Link’s gestures mean even though he doesn’t AHHH 😫

Happy Revalink Week!! (edit: except I’m still sad after making this sorry y’all)

*Tears of the Kingdom Spoilers*

Playing through the Wind Temple quest has given me even more love and respect for Revali in retrospect because now it’s confirmed that he was literally just a guy™️.

All of the other champions were direct descendants of the sages who fought in the Imprisoning War, except him. He had no special powers or magic passed down through his bloodline, he was just some guy who was good with a bow. He had to develop and perfect his own technique to help him in battle on his own, no other Rito had ever done it before.

Which makes the fact that he, without any noble blood or fancy magic, was able to fight alongside the descendants of the sages AND the Hero of Destiny AND the divine princess/descendant of Rauru and Sonia even more impressive. His outward confidence and ego makes sense when you consider that he was constantly trying to prove himself to everyone, that he was a strong warrior despite not being born with power.

It’s also really sad that in the end, Revali’s bloodline ended with him whereas the other champions at least got to die knowing that their family and loved ones would live on. The only things that serve as a reminder of his existence are the Great Eagle Bow and Revali’s Landing. Almost everyone in Zora’s domain remembers Mipha and honors her memory with an entire courtyard for her statue, Daruk has his face carved in a literal mountain, but Revali is rarely mentioned in TotK. (Urbosa doesn’t really have anything but shhh this aint about her) No one that knew him is still alive, except maybe the former chief owl guy?

That also begs the question of wtf was the Rito sage doing at the time of the Calamity, but honestly they probably were just some random person with no combat experience, given that they didn’t know they were a sage :P

tldr; Revali is the best champion no I don’t take criticism

[retrogarden]

To the Ravioli haters out there I love this bird n could write a whole paragraph on how he’s misunderstood n also the best champion

[smilesrobotlover]

Small Revali’s for anyone who needs it. This guy has me in a chokehold

[moonteaa]

What if Teba encountered Puppet Zelda in TOTK

[alabasterpickles]

“My brave little brother… I see not much has changed.” 🐟

I don’t know what it is with me and Nintendo these days but they have me in a chokehold

My sister and I have been tag teaming Age of Calamity and I live for the cutscenes, literally — this drawing has been stuck in my head for three days

She’s the gamer and right now since it’s been so damn hot we’ve spent a lot of time indoors gaming. She’s been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo (insane game by the way, SO good please check it out) and I’m obsessed with the soundtrack so I drew this to “Until we meet again”

Fitting, right?

Anyway — I love this cast of characters with all my heart and I’m a SUCKER for a good, dramatic family reunion 🥹

The explanation for why totk’s story is so Not Great and how disconnected from its predecessor it feels being that the devs didn’t want to alienate new players who didn’t know anything about botw’s story just falls apart the more I think about it. Nothing from this stupid half a plot works unless the player is familiar with specific details from the better games that came before it.

The believability of Link and Zelda’s connection to each other hinges on you knowing about the nuance of their relationship in botw. The ancient sages fighting with the champions’ arms and divine beast helms will only be impactful to botw/aoc players because totk doesn’t bother to explain the significance of that callback at all. Fi’s cameo is meaningless unless you either got every memory in botw or finished the master trial dlc (and know about her from skyward sword). You’ll only get the full context of Teba being sidelined in favour of a 12-year old if you played a specific chapter of Age of Calamity’s second DLC. Like sorry but I think Nintendo just made a bad story tbh
