the ancient hero armor set in TotK is like "so yeah the Hero from the first Calamity was actually not Hylian. he wasn't Zonai either. he was a secret third thing that has no name and the only other example can be found in weird statues in the Depths. HOWEVER he does wear Zonai clothes! but also Hylian body paint. no we will not elaborate further nor ever xoxo <3" insane absolutely INSANE

Link HUMS Ocarina of time songs while cooking?? I just noticed on Zelda's lullaby but I'm pretty sure he's also done Eponas song and Sarias song???? This guy loves cooking so much he's unlocking memories from a past life but JUST in the form of music?? Is that what this is???? I love him

Aksnskdkdk I've never seen this expression before

[carpisuns]

me (newish zelda player, very bad at video games) being so so brave and venturing back into the depths (scary, real heebie-jeebies hours) to find a way into korok forest (my little haven, everyone loves me and calls me mr hero there)

I am in there for way too long and am being to feel more unnerved but then I see BEAN LIGHTS! I KNOW THOSE! I ascend. At last. My safe place.

but why is it so dark here?? It’s 9:25 am. All the koroks are zombies. gloom is creeping out of the deku tree’s belly. oh no.

I go in. I see chasm. I descend. gloom hands jumpscare. are you serious. I have never attempted to fight these things I only run away they’re so scary!!!

They squeeze my little lifey out multiple times and then i finally manage to do some damage but ALAS! I run out of arrows. I decide to retreat for supplies. I buy beedle out of arrows at three stables. I hunt for bombflowers. I bravely return. I end up using about 50 arrows and bombs and ice fruits (they come BACK if they’re not all down at the same time??? Good grief.)

but finally. finally. THE EVIL IS DEFEATED. I DID IT. THE HERO OF HYRULE. korok forest is safe!!!

WRONG! hello little guy says phantom ganon. I scream and die immediately. You can’t be serious. I already DID the hard scary thing. How is there MORE.

I fight gloom hands again and am killed by ganon again multiple times. I retreat for supplies AGAIN. More arrows. I go to the depths and collect millions of poe to trade for bombs and anti-gloom stuff. I transport to multiple locations to pick up more sundelions that I marked. I make so much food. I am finally ready.

I bomb the crap out of the gloom hands. I’m ready for you ganon. I eat my anti-gloom food. I still die. I try again. I am very bad at fighting. Theoretically I know how to perfect dodge and shield parry but I can never seem to manage it when it matters. But whatever. I brought so much food. I will simply eat a meal every time he hits me, which is many times.

Eventually I succeed purely from the power of kebabs. The forest is purified. I don’t even get a treat for it.

I miss the guardians.

everyone else has the whole yona and sidon thing wrong actually. link is the most polyamourous bisexual guy ever and flirts w both yona and sidon because pretty fish ppl. yona and sidon are in an arranged marriage. yona has a secret hylian girlfriend (zelda) and sidon has a secret hylian boyfriend (link) but everyone knows about their "secrets" so they're one big polycule

change my mind

[fabledteeth]

sonia and rauru teasing zelda when she gushes about link 🥹 literal parentsss😭😭

[yetanotherknitter]

love that totk had Zelda take over the house in hateno so Link fucked off and built a mcmansion

[bobthebobking]

i wish tears of the kingdom was just about master kohga like every time i run into him i start twirling my hair giggling blushing kicking my legs imagining our future together married and in love

Given that the other Sages passed on their power to someone in the present day, I think Mineru should have done the same. And I think her successor should have been Purah: another genius engineer who constructed the very device capable of holding Mineru's spirit.

I know TotK's companion mechanic is clowned on by everyone but I really really can't do it. I love those peeps so much. I am free to roam the map looking at pretty sights and daydreaming and if anything bad shows up my squad jumps in like "this guy bothering you, queen?" and kills it dead without me having to lift my sword. ily TotK companion mechanic I don't mind that you occasionally mess up my controls it's a price I am willing to pay

"what's the situation kev" "im in the wall" god this sport is too funny

[james-p-sullivan]

i think this is my favourite panel in any of the zelda mangas

link and zelda finally reuniting after all this time meanwhile vaati is freaking passed out in the background

I'm watching my brother start playing Wind Waker, and I forgot how often Link gets slammed into walls?? I remembered the forsaken fortress, but then when the tower of gods rises he just gets flung into the stratosphere?? Not to mention him getting punched in the face by ganondorf like 5 times. The poor boy is lucky he doesn't have a concussion, or at the very least a broken nose!
