#i have not played TP

[liccy]

How I see it, My theory is that the Downfall Timeline is the original timeline.

Let's think 4th Dimensionally, shall we? Blah blah blah Link meets Zelda, blah blah blah, finds the master sword and is sealed away for 7 years.

This is where the splitting starts: Child Link's soul is sent to a teenager Link's body, and it goes back and forth until Link eventually defeats Ganon! (Woo!)

Afterward, Zelda then sends Link's soul back. But, instead of sending him back to the moment he was first sealed away, and thus continuing the original flow of time uninterrupted (like a good time traveler should), Zelda had decided to send Link to an even Earlier moment in order to warn the Kingdom against Ganon. Link, is now sent back alone to a pre adventure time and warns the King, thus prevents everything from OoT from happening. (Losing Nintendo millions of $$.) Life continues on for the altered timeline that Link left, while as an adult, and taking the supposed "spirit of the Hero" with him only to never be heard of again. (This Adult timeline, which I call the "Deadbeat Dad" timeline is because Link left for milk and never returned.) Stuff happens and The timeline continues and later on a kid gets a Shitty birthday surprise with the events in Wind Waker.

Child Link, who was returned to a time pre-adventure, does a miss Cleo and pretends to be a psychic and warns the King about Ganon. The day is saved, the kingdom is clueless and life goes on.

This is the Child Timeline, and since Link's trying to prevent shit from happening at the start, I lovingly call this the "Condom timeline".

Two events then happen simultaneously: Link decides to spend the rest of his life in search of Navi since trauma makes it that hearing his own thoughts becomes more annoying than hearing Navi's. (Navi was left behind in the adult one since Zelda's powers are not as strong as Fi's so only Link is sent back to pre-adventure.) He heads toward the ranch and borrows Epona again (though Malon acted like he was stealing Epona), then falls down a hole and somehow lands in an alternate dimension named Termina. More trauma ensues. Link returns. Malon won't even look at him. He's sad. The world is a dark and lonely place. So many regrets! He just wants to go home and maybe he'll sneak back in to try to… and Whoops he's a Stalfos now. Damn. He needs a nap. Oh wait, what's that kid doing in the forest? Maybe a good spar will cheer him up? Maybe give him a few pointers while he's at it?

But then what happens to the "original" Link (whom we shall call Link1) who was told of his new quest by the dying Deku tree… only to find out "Oh, that's already been dealt with by some other kid, only he didn't have a fairy. Oh well, Go back home kid."

Well, he can't exactly go back home, and since there is no quest, Navi can't really serve her purpose and perhaps returns back into the Lost Woods. Well this sucks. Link1 tries to make do and tries to be a good Hylian. He joins the royal army for a while, but the princess keeps mistaking him for his look alike, and gets strong and earns a living. Link1 dates and nice farmgirl, although things were rough in the beginning when his look-alike had stolen Epona a few years back (Link1 still feels unexplicitly guilty about it) they eventually become happy together. Before long, laws of physics decides since two same people cannot exist in the same time and in the same place and Link1 is then whisked away, without a goodbye to Malon, to dimension hop in Soul Calibur, Smash Brothers and other video games. Never to be heard of again.

But..... There's still the timeline that started it all.

If the adult timeline can continue without Link, it makes sense that so can the original timeline as well. Link meets the princess, blah blah blah, the temple of time is opened and Link is sealed away… only never to be heard of again since Link's consciousness/soul did not return. Link is not able to perform, Ganon tops and gains control, only to then be sealed by the sages, blah blah blah. The timeline continues with some poor kid who starts getting weird dreams that had nothing to do with puberty. Welcome to the Downfall timeline.

"Great Scott!!" You interrupt. "Why then is there still the spirit of courage in the Downfall timeline?"

Well I never said my theory was perfect. My hypothesis is that Link's body is still sealed in the temple, but he's just never woken up again because of the splits in the timeline. If Link can age while sealed, then it is assumed he eventually dies of oldness and the spirit is freed again.

"Heavy," right?

Hey

Do you all think the Fallen hero died as a kid, or right after he became an adult?

The Links (+ a Zelda!) from all the LoZ games I've played

[smilesrobotlover]

In Crimson Hero, Link needs to rescue the great fairies that have been trapped in Ganon’s control, and they are all Faima’s sisters! They disowned her unfortunately and banished her outside of Hyrule so :((( she’s not in good terms (except for the blue one who genuinely cared about her)

I don’t have names for them all but here is them:

Green: the forest great fairy. Is cold towards Faima but is obsessed with Benji and Link for some reason? Link is cuz he’s the hero but Benji? Who knows. Keep her away from him.

Red: fire great fairy. Is actively cruel towards Faima and the family. She can work with Link cuz he’s the hero but she constantly insults Faima and Benji. Very cruel.

Blue: water great fairy. Actually cares for Faima and visited her at times against the other’s wishes. She likes the others and Faima is eternally grateful to her kindness.

Yellow: the light great fairy. The oldest sister and vanished Faima out of Hyrule for her relations with a Hylian. She’s cold towards everyone, but she tries to act without bias. She knows a lot about Hyrule. I hate how she turned out here lol. Might redesign her.

And Faima! Benji’s wife and Link’s mother. She’s supposed to be pink (I’m removing the green from her hair) but I don’t have any magenta colors and it turned out darker than I liked. I tried to save it with my colored pencils and it worked, but on camera it’s too dark 😔 she’s very sweet but she’s also very quiet and shy. Link definitely gets that from her.

Benji! The problem. Link’s dad and Faima’s husband. He loves her but feels a LOT of guilt over his wife being disowned and banished due to her having relations with him. He wishes they could welcome her back, even if it means losing her. But Faima would never let that happen. She loves him too much.

Thought I'd do a friendly reminder to, well, remind people to stock up on basic mats for the Homestead crafting feature.

Most importantly, do NOT refine them into planks, ingots and so on unless you need them for something, because as far as we've seen in the stream, the crafting Refined Homestead Wood requires logs!

Even with the weekly limits, the first few weeks will probably see TP prices skewed upwards for all those mats, and they're already higher than before the JW announcement. If you can, make sure you have enough to comfortably craft for a few weeks, because we don't know the upper limit yet nor how long it'd take to reach, so even such a stockpile might go fast anyway.

This is also valid for people who are not interested but will want to craft something else that requires large quantities of basic mats.

And if your stacks are full, stash 'em in your bank or in an alt's inventory!

Guess who played up to the end of the forest temple and once again lost the battle of not making a new AU last night?

Lark’s existence complicates some things in a lot of fun interesting ways let me cook on this one

I still haven’t cast a Zelda, this AU is all about Sparrow with a wolf curse, anything else is secondary

When I first found a well that was deep enough to go down, I was immediately overcome with dread.

But I went in anyway and there were just some pumpkins.

"i dont see what ppl see in the lore its so boring"

shuffles my feet around, most ppl talking about the lore are exclusively talking about love nikki and shining nikki, the two games most ppl started the series with and have been around longer so theyve had time to explore their stories

now granted im assuming this person has only played infinity nikki, if not then hey not everyone is gonna like/care for the lore thats just how it is with video games

i havent spent too much time with infinity nikki bc i move at a snails pace and only play a little bit at a time so i cant say much on its lore

but these games tend to slowly move towards the more out there lore ok you gotta wait like a year before someone dies off

its also a gacha game so ur not getting all the lore at once ok they gotta have reason to keep ppl coming back and playing

[luna-loveboop]

I wonder what era they are in- there are so many statues that work for Twi's Dominion Rod

He used it for pink bunny shenanigans, but after that they kept appearing.

There's even one in the first panel for a chapter:

Close to his time maybe? It only works for certain statues, and there were so many.

thoughts on twilight princess ganondorf?

I gotta confess you guys something……

I never played Twilight Princess. the Ganondorf that got me fixated on him was Smash Bros TP Ganondorf

I think he’s pretty tho <3

[wutheringmights]

can you give us more midlink info⁉️ I love them‼️

I uhhhhh kinda forgot you sent this in. Deepest apologies, anon.

Here's a few silly little things:

Remember my headcanon about Twilight being really into silly romance novels? I think he used to read them out loud to Midna whenever they had free time. Midna left before finding out how her favorite series ended and has been wanting to ask Twilight about it, but she's can't gather the courage to ask

I really want to write a scene where Midna flicks her tongue-- and she has a really monsterous tongue, like a snake or a tentacle. Twilight sees it and just... blushes 😳😳😳😳and Wild is off in the corner like OH MY GOD YOU KINKY FREAK

Pre-game Midna was definitely a bit of a party girl who didn't take her duties seriously. She was a heart breaker, and she freaked out when she realized that Twilight was attracted to her when she was an imp

Twilight used to be severely scared of the dark. Having Midna guard him helped him get over it. He got so used to associating darkness with her that, shortly after she left, he would sit in dark rooms and hope to see her shadow take form in the corners
