I love the ideas for your LU/ATLA AU, but there is one decision that bothers me probably more than it should! Why isn’t Zelda the Avatar?! This about it, both have spiritual powers (including sealing abilities), are technically part spirit/goddess (Hylia could be this AU’s equivalent to Raava), there is a sense of reincarnation (even if for Zelda it is more like a bloodline), she has a semblance of elemental etc, etc! Furthermore, you said yourself that Ganondorf was after the spirit of the Avatar! Who could have a better role for that than the princess he tries to kidnap in every game they interact in?!

In a way, we can both get what we want! You said there was a hundred years of turmoil in ATLA Hyrule! Whether Rauru went into hiding or not, it is possible for him to die of old age. Thus, Zelda can be his successor, and they can have a “Roku-Aang” dynamic, even if their personalities are not a one-to-one parallel! In fact, considering the more mentor-like vibes Rauru gives in Ocarina of Time, it would make for him to have a more “predecessor Avatar” role than a “main Avatar” role, especially when “main Avatars” tend to be significantly younger characters!

Of course, if you have other plans for Zelda, please let me know! Even if she isn’t the Avatar that I so desperately want her to be, she has to at least be significant to the plot in some way! I’m sorry for coming on too strongly, but this is still the Legend of ZELDA, even if Link is the protagonist.

Thank you so so so much for asking this question. I’m really glad you are enjoying the idea my scattered madness brain created.

But as much as I love this question, I can’t reveal it quite yet. Need to mellow out the details first. Either going to launch the post in between the Links or launch it after the Links.

What I can tell is this:

Rauru had to be the Avatar first. He is a stepping stone in the direction of the palm for the Avatar. If he wasn’t the Avatar first, then the idea would not work.

Zelda is a key factor to the idea for the Avatar. Much like what you said, it’s called the Legend of Zelda not the Legend of Link. So yes, Zelda is the key to the Avatar.

All the Zeldas are.

Hylia is indeed this Au’s version of Raava. Hyrule wouldn’t be Hyrule without Hylia much like how the Avatar wouldn’t be the Avatar without Raava.

The final battle between Avatar Rauru and Ganondorf shattered the world. Punching out holes between the Spirit Realm and Mortal Realm and the corruption of the spirits. Scattered across the world.

Let’s just say… The Realms weren’t the only thing shattered. 😈😈😈

One last thing! You absolutely DO NOT have to apologize for asking! Go right on ahead!! I would love to answer more!

People asking questions actually help my brain form more ideas. So go right ahead!! I wants to hear what you guys are all wondering. It’s a new idea and new ideas are meant to be explored.
