#kotg revali

[smilesrobotlover]

Apparently I’m just… I’m the mood for lineups?? Anyways, I did the champions for my king of the Gerudo au! This au is basically AOC but totk :)

[smilesrobotlover]

Some Revali for kotg lol. I love him so much, I bet he’s one of those people that are like “only I can make fun of Link” and get super protective and defensive of him whenever people insult him. And also Mipha and Revali are such a cute duo. Mipha is a doormat and Revali hates seeing people take advantage of her kindness to he happily keeps that from happening (but Mipha does end up snapping)

Anyways I love revali and I have big plans for him for this au

[smilesrobotlover]

Ok I wanted to post these too. Some kotg concepts.

I figured since I like Zelda the most when she’s being a nerd, I decided to just have her chillin and tinkering with technology when this stuff happens.

I’ve also mentioned the idea of Gerudo Sooga so… teehee…

Some doodles, Zelda doin her own thing, revali being a nuisance, and revali and Rhoam.

And lastly, I want the champions to go through the dungeons from totk, but I also want them to fight the bosses with their divine beasts. I feel like the divine beasts would destroy these bosses so I made a gloom powered version of the marble gohma, much bigger with nasty pincers that could fight Rudania. Idk, I’m having fun!

[smilesrobotlover]

For KotG, do Daruk and Revali have new positions? Like, Daruk's kinda just called a Lord and Revali a good archer before the Calamity, so would Revali be like a teacher by now or nah?

Yeah. So the champions got called as knights and maidens in my world after the calamity, which was aHUGE deal since they’re not Hylians. Link got knighted since he’s the hero and a Hylian, but the champions were the first non Hylians to be given such an honor. Impa was called as a maiden as well.

Their status is champion, but Daruk and Revali are called “sirs” while Impa, Mipha, and Urbosa are called “ladies”. You know, the classic knight status.

[smilesrobotlover]

I've got more KotG on the mind, hope you don't mind the asks!

So AoC incorporates the Sheikah Slate runes from BotW by having Terrako do... something, and now everyone can access those runes, as well as use it to open the Divine Beasts.

So during KotG, will the Slate and Runes play a part alongside the new Zonai stuff, or would the Zonai abilities basically replace then?

OR

Is it gonna be broken up among groups, like Link's group only has the Zonai arm and the abilities, whereas the group with Terrako can only access the Runes?

If this spoils anything or you don't wanna answer it, then obviously ignore this! I just love worldbuilding and the stories had me in a chokehold

I don’t mind at all! So in this world, everyone that is super important has a Sheikah slate. That’s the champions, the princess, the king, Purah, Impa, and the first knight. It’s hard to make a Sheikah slate so very few have it. And I think im gonna have the champions share a Sheikah slate since only Mipha, Urbosa, and Link can use it. Revali has feathers that are huge and the tip of Daruk’s finger is the same size as the screen so… yeah.

But the zonai abilities are for Link only. He has the arm, so only he can do them.

[smilesrobotlover]

Talk my ear off about knights and maidens

Ok ok here is the knight and maiden lore. I rambled a lot to Ladye about this so idk if I already mentioned some of this or not 😭😭

So the status as a knight or a maiden is the highest honor a man or woman can have. Knights are for those who are courageous and powerful in fighting, while Maidens are those with powerful magical abilities. They’re meant to parallel Zelda and Link basically. They work very close to the royal family and can only be called by the one who has the goddesses’ blood in their veins. So basically only Zelda can call upon knights and maidens.

There are the leaders of each one, and those are mostly voted in that position by the fellow knights and maidens. There’s the first knight and the head maiden. But they are very rare if there’s a small numbers of knights and maidens. But they’re in charge if the Royal family isn’t there. They’re the defense to Hyrule and defend the castle with their lives if it’s to come to it.

Typically Hylians are only called as knights and maidens, but in kotg I think it’d be fun for Zelda to call the champions as knights and maidens after the calamity. She was able to call Link before since he was a Hylian, but she decided to change that after the calamity and made Mipha, Urbosa, and Impa maidens, and Revali and Daruk knights. This is a HUGE deal cuz there’s never been non hylian knights/maidens before (except one but I won’t mention them for spoiler reasons UwU). But yeah, there’s a lot of strict rules to knights and maidens. It’s mostly tradition and not so much a need, but they’re very useful to have in situations.

And the princess can only call a knight or a maiden when she’s 17 (since the calamity was approaching they sorta… bent the rules slightly with kotg Zelda, but she was close to turning 17 so Rhoam was like “eh it’ll be fine”)

But yeah I’m having so much fun with this lore! Unfortunately most of my aus don’t explore this enough so I guess I gotta get working on my four swords au cuz it’s the only one with a lot of knights and maidens lol. Idk I think it’s a cool concept :>

Kotg and splash?

Link entered the river with a splash, letting out a sigh of relief as he relaxed inside the water. Revali only stared at him from afar in the dirt with a disgusted look on his face.

“If you get any water in my wings I swear I’ll kill you,” he threatened, and Link only grinned, squirting water at him with his hands.

[smilesrobotlover]

Oh well since you’re still doing it, kotg and back :)

“We won’t get there in time if we walk!” Revali said hastily. He knelt on the ground and gave Link a look. “Climb on my back! I can fly above the sandstorm!”

Link gave him a hesitant look. “I might be too heavy for you.”

“Oh for the love of—JUST CLIMB ON MY BACK!!”

[smilesrobotlover]

A wip for kotg:

“Goddesses, you could just answer the question instead of acting like an idiot! I was only asking because the others were worried! I certainly didn’t care if you lived or died!” Revali was turned away for a moment before giving Link a quick glance, who was still grinning teasingly at him.

[smilesrobotlover]

in kotg what are the champions relationship like with one another ( also including link and Zelda)

As I’ve said before Urbosa and Daruk are sort of the parents? I love found families so I honestly want them to be a little family. Rebels style you know?

Urbosa is def the most responsible, I imagine that when Zelda and Rhoam aren’t there, she’s the one leading the champions. She’s the chief, very motherly, so of course she’s the most responsible. She’s very comforting to the others when needed and overall they greatly respect her. Now, I haven’t played the dlc for botw so I haven’t read the journals, nor do I have creating a champion, so some facts may not add up, but I do know that Urbosa describes the others besides Daruk as very young, so I think she naturally feels very responsible for the other’s well being. She and Daruk, being the oldest, are good friends and I would describe them as drinking buddies. She’s very motherly towards Mipha, I feel like she and Zelda have a lot in common so Urbosa treats her the same way as Zelda. She sees Link as a goofy teenage boy (even tho he’s 20 in this au) but I feel like she treats Link the same way Telma treated Link in tp? Not super motherly towards him cuz he doesn’t need that (his mother is alive and well) but she does guide him when needed and sees him as a capable adult. And Revali… there’s a reason that he’s scared of her. Anytime Revali would act up she’d scold him and tell him that he’s basically an idiot lol. She understands that he really has a lot of underlying issues underneath his arrogant attitude so she does look out for him.

Daruk a fun dad type of character. I imagine he’s charismatic and helps hype people up when needed, and he’s kind of a ride or die kinda guy (lol). But he’s not responsible. There’s a reason why Urbosa is in charge and not him lol. He’s a loveable himbo who wants to look out for the kidlets you know? Obviously he thinks they’re all adorable, Link is his little guy, Mipha is the little zora princess who has a huge crush and wants his help to confess to Link (he’s a wingman ;)) and Revali is the sassy child who needs some love. Even tho Revali makes fun of him, he doesn’t get offended by any of it. Whether it’s because he’s understanding that Revali means nothing by it, or if it’s because he’s just a himbo, who knows. He loves the kids tho (I keep saying they’re kids they’re adults but THEYRE LITTLE 💀💀💀). But yeah, he just kind of vibes. He and Urbosa are indeed besties and again, he sees Zelda almost the same as Mipha. Just a sweet little child

Mipha is kind of a people pleaser and doesn’t know how to say no. So she finds the champions who won’t take advantage of her kindness very comforting. Now, Mipha’s mother is gonna be in this au (just say she’s alive and don’t worry about the logistics lol) but she doesn’t see her very often so it’s nice to have Urbosa there to tell her “hey take a break”. Zelda is her best friend and they love hanging out. Mipha is really the only person who got through to Revali, so she considers him to be a very good friend. Obviously she loves Link and is basically going to Daruk for help. She wants to impress him with her fighting skills <3 and yeah. She very much wants to protect them. If anything where to happen to them, well… you’ll see :3c

And lastly Revali. You saw that stupid respect thingy ma Bob i made. He’s afraid of Urbosa, but more in a fearful respect kind of way. He won’t cross her in any way and he doesn’t want to make her upset of course. He is very fond of Mipha and Zelda. He thinks they’re both very great people who are strong princesses. He respects Zelda’s determination and intelligence, and he respects Mipha’s kindness and selflessness. He may sass them a couple of times but overall he likes them. Even tho he makes fun of Daruk, he deeply cares for that rock guy. Daruk is just a silly guy and Revali will laugh at him but will defend him with his life. And Link…. Revali is a hardworking guy who is very good at what he does, and Link seems to be some prodigy who is good at everything, and that makes Revali very insecure. Like Zelda, Revali has a huge issue with comparing himself to others. If he’s not the best then he’s the worst, and Link really makes him struggle with that. It’s not Link’s fault, and Revali genuinely thinks he’s an amazing fighter, but he’ll never say it out loud. It’s complicated to say the least. Honestly Revali is the only person who sees him as a rival. Link doesn’t care and the others just think that Revali hates Link lol.

Now for Link and Zelda. Y’all know my thoughts on this zelink. I feel like Zelda would love Link but I don’t want to deal with a love triangle so I might not explore any of that. But they are just friends. You can overall pick up their thoughts on the champions with this.

[smilesrobotlover]

with kotg ( king of the gerudo) you told us about revali but you also mentioned you had ideas for Ammon, Orman, and Mipha if you want to why don’t you tell us some of your ideas also I really love this au

Aight so I’ll talk about Orman here since he’s less introduced that Ammon. I honestly can’t put in the words for Mipha so I won’t get into her unfortunately.

So I mentioned in one of my posts how Lurelin village I feel is a forgotten village, not utilized like the other villages, so I’m gonna say that it is a pretty forgotten village. Unless you’re from Hateno, the neighboring village. Lurelin is a very small fishing village that’s tucked away on the beach, usually surrounded by monster camps and what not. Castle town normally gets fish from Zora’s domain, Hylian rice is normally from Hateno, its just not very well known. So when a Lurelin fisherman becomes the bodyguard for the king, it’s a pretty big deal. Especially in Lurelin. Normally in such a high position, your private life is kept secret to protect your loved ones. But everyone in Lurelin knows Orman, and they know who he’s married to and who his kids are (he has four daughters ☺️). Luckily everyone loves Orman and his family so it’s not a huge deal. And people outside of Lurelin don’t know him and his family. The soldiers didn’t take Orman very seriously, mostly from not taking Lurelin seriously, but also he’s a total goofball. They think he doesn’t take his job seriously since he acts pretty aloof at times. I mean in public he’s very serious, but around others when he’s not working he’s a goof. But make no mistake, he trained with his fishing spears, he’s very skilled as a fighter. It’s no easy feat to be the king’s bodyguard, so don’t underestimate him. I love him.

He and Ammon met when they fought in a battle together and had to fight off armies of monsters single-handedly while protecting their fellow soldiers. This gave them a huge honor and they became the King’s bodyguards. They grew very close, due to shared trauma but also they just clicked. Idk if I actually shared this but Ammon lost his older brother to the yiga when he was 17 and Orman kinda fit that role. So they’re more than friends they are BROTHERS. Orman’s daughters call Ammon uncle and vice versa, they’re just that close. It helps that their villages are so close too.

Ammon is a city boy, born and raised in castle town. But he wasn’t originally gonna be a soldier. But with his brother getting murdered by the yiga, Ammon worked hard to be a soldier. He wanted to be capable enough to protect the people he cared about. But once he meets his wife Sarah, he moves to her home in Hateno. But with that battle he and Orman became the bodyguards so… yay. Ammon has two kids, Aryn and Link :D

[smilesrobotlover]

I'm probably too late for the asks, but... hmmmmm... idk I found our dads switcheroo and it made me think about Til and Ammon discussing things and trying to figure out what the heck to do next and I think they'd kind of be a fun chaotic duo :)

If I give a kazoo to the Strangers Across Eras crew, who would immediately grab it and make the most unholy sounds with it?

KotG crowd! A and B Teams, who are you team leaders and who are your team jokesters?

*gives head pats to Kori*

Ough yes the beloveds 😭😭 I love the dad switcharoo au sm. I’m sure Til and Ammon would be a fun duo, Ammon is pretty chaotic at times! He would def indulge in Til’s exploration

And yeah it’s… probably Benji, he likes to be annoying with music. This guy….

Team A: the leaders are Impa and Orman cuz Kogha is too childish and Ammon is too emotionally unstable! Of course Kogha is the jokester tho, what a guy.

Team B: Urbosa and Daruk! The two adults who watch over the children. I’d say Link is the jokester, he likes to annoy Revali a lot. And he’s coming out of his shell a little more! Feeling a bit better about the pressure now that the calamity is over!

And Kori accepts the headpats <3

[smilesrobotlover]

Not really kotg but out of the champions who is your favorite and why

Revali definitely the potential for a complex character with him is insane and he is SO much fun to explore. Mipha is a close second
