Some dudes

[dimiotouole]

The dancing spirits, the weeping princess, and the all consuming darkness

[aster-art-disaster]

If it weren’t seen as a curse, would it have been seen as a grasp for divinity?

OKAY you can catch star fragments from the sky!

I was just free falling after being shot up from a tower and a star fragment started falling from the sky right next to me and it let me grab it as we fell together!

[helladventurers]

Is it me or do the elemental dragons show up more frequently in Totk than in botw 🤔 i haven't seen dinral yet, but i see naydra and farosh flying around all the time

[wwwjam]

Something I'd been wanting to draw: The Oracles in their corresponding Zonai outfits from Tears of the Kingdom.

There are three outfit sets in Tears of the Kingdom that correspond with the 3 dragons of Hyrule; Dinrall, Farosh, and Naydra. These dragons themselves are named after the 3 goddesses of Hyrule; Din, Farore, and Nayru.

So I thought: It'd be fun to put the Oracles of Holodrum and Labrynna, also named Din, Farore and Nayru in those outfits.

And it was fun. But also painful due to all the details. And this is pared down. Some things wouldn't fit due to space.

I also made a boo boo when doing Din's pose. She takes up entirely too much space, so she's kinda butting in on Farore with her hair... Oops.

TOTK Trailer things I noticed, the master post <3

Welcome back gamers today I will be going insane

Post 1 of (3)

These towers?? They're not sheika towers. They look like they may be made of wood and are decorated?

Glowing stuff. seems to be leaning up on a hillside. It's most likely this glowing grass we see later in the trailer here

This grass isn't on a particularly steep hillside though, so it might be in patches everywhere. Also- these seem to be murals? Like, it's not in a pattern, it's like a giant something painted a drawing in the grass.

When the lightning flashes, there's a goddamn TYPHOON in the sky. It is STORMING

MUSHROOM AREA?? Malice is EVERYWHERE. The enemies are covered in malice and the fungus seems to be releasing spores? I dont know what else that particle effect coult be. The blue stuff at the bottom looks...collectable. My personal theory is that these could be "tears" you could collect? They float around almost like how wax floats around in Sky Children of the Light, so maybe I'm just biased.

That. That is a goddamn hydra. Dragon. Thing. Nothing like Dinral or Nayru at all, so not a dragon in that sort of sense. This thing is so fucking cool i cannot wait to kick its ass

We get a really good look at this shield, he seems to have a new bow too, but I'm not exactly a weapons expert for BOTW so I could be wrong. This is definitely Sheika-esque, but it's not what we're used to. Maybe this is something from the Sheika 10,000 years ago? Who knows.

The moon is shown to be almost exclusively red. (This blood moon is fucked up bruh) And it looks as though it will stay that way for the whole game, although again I could be totally wrong. The sky's normal (besides the islands) during the daytime. The whole "Night time is more dangerous" thing from BOTW has a chance to be intensified a LOT here.

Especially when the moon is throwing hands and blowing Hyrule up. that's not good. In all honesty, the "blowing up" part is likely part of a cutscene, but its funny to think about. Also I don't think the malice is coming DIRECTLY from the moon, but the moon (or Ganon THROUGH the power of the moon) is summoning these rockets of calamity to fuck shit up.

I. Don't know. What this is. Help.

another glimpse of the glowing grass, but I don't know if this is the same hillside as the one at the very beginning of the trailer or not.

REDEAD REDEAD REDEAD REDEAD WHAT ELSE COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE

Also the first little glimpse of a king bokoblin? Freaky.

At first, I wasn't sure if the storm was going to be relevant but you can see it a bit here again in the top left corner. Maybe something is hiding in the eye of the storm? Maybe you have to appease an entity to clear it, like in the thunder trial puzzle in BOTW.

I will be reblogging with more BS soon so stay tuned teehee

[corvus-ambrosius]

right so you know how only some people can see the dragons and you can ride them in botw. hear me out does this mean some random like rito or something might see link on naydra or dinral or whatever and just be so fucking confused

[wolves-and-magic-swords]

Hello!!

I'm Firework! I am a bit lost. I was from Hyrule, and I'm zonai I think, I don't really look like one.

I'm 14! And use they/them pronouns!

I got sent here, I don't know how, but at least I've kept my stuff. I still have the purah pad, and all the stuff inside and all of Rauru's powers are still there.

I've been in this new land for a bit now. So I know about pokemon, and pokeballs. I even caught a couple!

I hope I can befriend more of them.

I'm actually looking for my sister, her name is Gloom, I know she's here somewhere. I'm gonna find her! Especially since the people here aren't friendly towards me, I don't know why. But maybe I can make friends on here instead while I look for her!

//I'm reviving this blog, this is Firework. An old oc of mine who now has taken the place of totk Link to stop the cycle meaning they're the last to fight Ganon ever in that timeline.

Pelipper mail is on, along with all the other pelipper mail types.

Any pokemon irl blogs can interact.

Anon hate is allowed.

This is a semi old ref for Gloom, with a totally not galacta knight inspired mask. Gloom is like a dinral hybrid but ironically is most proficient in ice magic.

I lost my old ref for Firework on here, so I'll just have to make a new one for them.

I'm the mod behind @skyfire-the-pokemon-biologist and @shadowfire-void-incarnate. My main is @skyfire530 and all follows, likes and such will come from there.

⚠️ ToTK Spoilers ⚠️

Huh. What if Dinral, Naydra, and Farosh weren't overly special? What if they were just a trio of Zonai? What if those names weren't even theirs, but the names they took when they swallowed their secret stones?

Moreover, what if they didn't swallow regular secret stones? Because what do secret stones do? They amplify your existing power. Theoretically, if one person possessed multiple, they could have god-like power, either good or evil, depending on the heart of the person. Sound like something we've already seen?

The triforce was an open secret. Most people knew of it and vaguely that it rested in the sacred realm, but not where it was exactly or how to reach it. I guess you could argue that, while they were certainly gold in color, we don't know what they were actually made of.

We don't see the triforce in BoTW or ToTK. We don't even see the triforce in the ancient past. We do see the dragons, however. The swallowing of secret stones is already banned in the ancient era, so the dragons are obviously there.

What if the triforce was just three extra special, extra powerful secret stones? Three zonai were charged with protecting them by swallowing the three triangle secret stones and becoming dragons. Which is why becoming a dragon is banned, because someone might try to learn to reverse it to get a loved one back. Then they'd know how to get their hands on the triforce.

It also explains why Ganondorf wants the secret stones. They put the triforce out of his reach, so he's going for the next best thing.

The dragons are named after the corresponding piece of the triforce that they swallowed.

[zebanon]

The zelda lore theorists are in shambles and im here to correct their shortcomings, in this essay of a tumblr post i will attempt my best to correct some large problems i have seen within zelda lore as of late.

“Where did all the shekiah tech go from botw?” It went back underground as we clearly see most of it rise from the ground in botw, and for the guardians they were used for the new towers, as for the divine beasts they were most likely buried once more, weve seen that they were originally buried prior to the age of the botw champions (the time 100 years prior to botw) so they were most likely just reburied for convenience.

“But there were too many guardians for how few new towers there are?” are you expecting hyrule to understand this massively advanced tech on their first try? Hell even some of the quests for the new towers involve them being buggy, meaning they still havent perfected their understanding of ancient shekiah tech

“Why is hyrule been founded again? Did nintendo reset the timeline?” No you idiot, hyrule has been founded again multiple times before now, we just havent seen it actually happen in game or in cutscenes, why do you think zelda games have wildly differing landscapes?

As for the zonai being introduced, they were probably there the entire time. Think about how in the start of totk zelda says that the murals say that her ancestors partnered with gods to create the kingdom of hyrule, this makes me think that the three golden goddesses from earlier zelda lore were probably zonai.

So, in botw and totk, the three dragons that we technically dont know the identities of are named naydra, dinrall, and farosh. The three golden goddesses are named nayru, din, and farore. If we consider that they were most likely zonai they most likely had access to secret stones, of which allowed them to be viewed as gods and eventually become the three immortal dragons we farm for parts in botw and totk.

Now, for the differences between malice and gloom as well as calamity ganon and ganondorf, this is a smaller misconception that ive seen that i still wish to correct anyway. Gloom is not malice but malice is gloom, if that makes sense. Basically gloom was first created by ganondorf when he acquired the secret stone, however gloom became malice after ganondorf was sealed away and he developed so much hatred that it leaked out in the form of malice and calamity ganon, attempting to destroy hyrule castle as on a stone tablet we can find in game, it is stated that the castle was made so that ganondorf would not be disturbed while sealed. However after the great calamity from botw the castle was left in shambles and ganondorf’s seal was disturbed heavily, but not enough for him to escape, however after calamity ganon is destroyed and all the malice disappeared, time passed where the castle was just kinda left to rot, its not known exactly how long has passed between botw and totk, but seemingly enough for the seal on ganondorf to effectively become useless and allow him to start spreading his gloom more. Basically, gloom is directly and intentionally made by ganondorf, but malice is just because he was literally too angry to die.

If i find any other problems with current zelda lore i will add onto this post, but for now this is all my adhd riddled brain has to say.

[arcadetheatre]

Who is Lomei? - Theory

I got the reward for finishing all of the Shrines in TotK - The Ancient Hero's Aspect. And looking at it gave me a theory. Do you think the Ancient Hero is Lomei?

The Ancient Hero's Aspect depicts an Owl, a Dragon, and a Boar. The Lomei Labyrinth quests are introduced by an unknown entity who refers to themself as the ruler of Owls, Dragons, and Boars for each of the three labyrinths - but we never actually find out who this is.

One theory is that each Labyrinth is being introduced by the Golden Goddesses - with each animal representing one of the three aspects of the Triforce. But, it could also just be one individual.

In addition, the reward for finishing the Labyrinth quests are pieces of the Evil Spirit Armour. It would make sense for Lomei to have this armour if he was the one to defeat one of the onslaughts of Calamity Ganon.

I think that the Goddess theory and the Lomei theory could also be combined. If Lomei was the Ancient Hero, then it would make sense that he would embody all aspects of the Triforce and have the Golden Goddesses' blessing.

I'm wondering if maybe TotK DLC or a spin-off game will explore more of the Ancient Hero and maybe some other aspects of Ancient Hyrule that TotK never fully explored.

Another theory is that Naydra, Dinral, and Farosh were the Zonai who used to own the Frostbite, Ember, and Charged armour before becoming Dragons. This could also be woven into the Lomei theory. Maybe Naydra, Dinral, and Farosh were the Rulers in the Lomei Labyrinth quests.

[dragontamer05]

*slams*

Give us the Forbidden lore on Naydra, Dinral and Farosh

Like okay yeh name wise clear come from the 3 Goddesses that made the triforce and all that but like

Are the Dragons themselves the goddesses in dragon form? Were they to once Hylian / some other being (Zonai?)

How and why are they dragons- the implication seems to be they weren't always.

Why the heck didn't they come to try and help fight Ganon (or just some of the monsters at least)

[echoesofwisdomcountup]

Love the pose of the horse and of course the ember set on Link to match Dinral. The lighting is also fantastic. It's giving fantasy painting that I'd hang in my living room.

Not me yelling “UPPIES!!!” at Dinral because I don’t have enough stamina to climb these stupid cliffs and want a wind boost up
