#my brother got me into loz :D

[daydreaming-en-pointe]

ok but urbosa in botw 😍😍😍

[inumbrapugnabimus-maybe]

unearthing an old loz au :D

Extensive rambling and plot and everything in between below

ok so I made this au over a year ago and the other day in an attempt to procrastinate my brain reminded me of it so here it is! Redesigned!

Ummm basically this version of Hyrule has already fallen to Ganon, and (much like in Narnia) it got very, very cold as a result (I’m still working on the exact ins and out of this, but there IS a reason why lol)

Therefore, Zelda’s clothes are A), very warm, with lots of layers, and B), rather hodgepodged together, as they’re all borrowed. She hasn’t been able to wear her royal clothes in years, as she’s hiding from Ganon. And also most of them burned with Hyrule Castle.

so the embroidered frock (embroidered with flowers for symbolism reasons) thingie is about as princessy as her clothes will get XD

the reason she masquerades as Sheik in this au is more to hide from Link than Ganon. The latter is unaware that the princess escaped, while Link has some issues he’s working through lol

basically, when the kingdom was very suddenly overthrown, a confused and unimportant kid named Link (who was aware of the danger due to reasons I’ll get around to if I post his design), managed to save Zelda, who was still pretty young, and very much terrified. Terrified to see her terrified, Link’s protective side activated, and, well, it never really un-activated after that.

He managed to get her to a quiet, little known town on the outskirts of Hyrule, where some Sheikah (notably Impa) had taken refuge as well. They promised to guard her, and Link headed off to suffer the slow realization that he was a hero alone.

meanwhile, Zelda grew up, and grew stronger, and (once again due to things I won’t quite talk about yet) began to understand her duty towards her people, and to the hero. But, when Link returned to inform Impa of the plans he had made, he was very against Zelda helping him in any way (mainly out of fear for her).

so Zelda came along as Sheik instead :D

A few little things of note, now

I am vaguely basing Link’s inner struggle off my older brother… Link and Zelda do not have a brother/sister relationship however; it ends up a romance >:)

The only difference between Sheik and Zelda is simply that by the time Link sees her again as Sheik, she has dyed her hair and she’s been in the sun a bit more… magic is not involved in this case. Honestly it only works because Link didn’t know Zelda very well before lol

Zelda likes to sew, and garden as much as the climate will let her.

She has a very bright personality, but she takes what other people say to heart. I’ve found whenever I make an loz au, Zelda and/or Link don’t start out with Wisdom and Courage, but rather must gain it to some extent. This story is no different.

In some cases, I focus only on one of them, but this story specifically is about both. They grow together, just like Hyrule must grow again :D

in this story, they are all traumatized. Including Ganon. (he also has a backstory I’m working on hehe)

finally, the sheik design is not final… I’m still working on it lol

ok, that’s it! Byeeeeee

[the-alliance-maker]

More art from my younger sister, yay!

Mask (Baby Hero of Time) looks like that because he's worn the Fierce Deity Mask too many times for extremely long periods, and now it's started to stain/scar his skin.

I'm also putting her little doodle she made me bellow too.

Mask (Baby Hero of Time) has a/his shadow following him around. This is apparently my sister's view of their relationship.

(She was nervous about letting me post the gif and required that I clarified that it's a low effort, quick animation she only made to get a laugh out of me, lol. She was correct about making me laugh. I was in tears for, like, an hour.)

More explanations (And lack there of?) about it under the cut.

These pieces of art are both from an AU of mine that we roleplay a lot.

I'd explain more, but it's built off an alternate timeline/universe of @wutheringmights story "Call them brothers". And I'm not sure what her rules are about fanart or fanfics, mostly because I never asked or looked into it and I never intended to.

I make AUs for the fanfics I read, write fanfics for those fanfics with thousands upon thousands of words in them and then never post them or do anything other than hand them to my sister to read. She does the same with her art.

...Fandoms are messy enough without me accidentally stepping on someone's toes. (I think my sister doesn't post her art because she's too unconfident though.)

That aside, Call them brothers is literally my favorite fic I've ever read. I know we like to throw that phrase around in the fandom a lot, but I have every intention of getting that sucker printed and bound once it's finished. I've been reading Fanfiction for nearly a decade and this is the first one I've wanted to do that for.

If you're a person who enjoys darker stories and want a story line with some actual consequences for the characters, I'd totally recommend it. The last time I was this gut punched over characters and their development was Red Rising by Peirce Brown (My favorite published book series ever), and Wuthering's descriptions of a war ravaged country and all it's horrors is fucking immaculate.

I found Call them brothers through my desire to see a longer fic that had Spirit Tracks Link, and it did. not. disappoint.

Wuthering's takes on what Spirit's abilities, character traits, and game culture/lore are currently my favorite I've seen from anyone in the fandom, and I would doubly recommend the fic just for that.

That said, it's not a story for the faint of heart. It's Dark. With a capital 'd' for a reason. Wuthering doesn't add all those tag warnings for no reason. Also, if you can't stand to see one of the Link bois written as anything other than what the mainstream interpretation for them is, this isn't for you. War isn't out of character, but he's certainly a bold take. A fantastic one, but bold none the less.

Plus there's mild mentions of Links being interested in other character's that aren't their Zeldas or their typical love interests. There is NO shipping of the Jojo's characters amongst each other, but if you're the kind of person who can't stand alluding to characters having crushes that aren't Link x Zelda, it isn't for you.

I know there's some people in the fandom who don't like that kind of thing, so I thought I'd mention it. Also, you've been warned so no being mean to Wutheringmights about it!

If you're okay with the things I've listed, please, please, please give it a read. @wutheringmights deserves all the love for writing something so good.

(Anyway, I could ramble for hours about all the reasons Wutheringmights is my favorite Author in the LOZ fandom, but this was supposed to just be a post about my lil sis's art that got waaaaay away from me.)

[readingismyhobby24]

im doing pretty good too ^_^!!!!

im SO excited to yap about rainworlds >:D i wanted the game a lot like last year and its like “oh wow i have it now lol” so ive been playing it a bunch and reading about the lore (because its super hard to tell the lore in the game)

to start off simple, you play as a slugcat (basically cat mixed with a slug) in an ecosystem with other creatures, id like to mention how i enjoy that the creatures dont just have set animations for their actions like most games, theyre placed on a rig and the ai has to go off of what to do which i find interesting! you, the slugcat arent meant to be a hero in the story, youre basically just another part in the ecosystem, youre also very low in the food chain (below you are basically just small creatures and plants, while lizards, scavengers, vultures, etc are above you.)

i also enjoy how it isnt JUST a survival game, each character has a story, such as how monk and the survivor are brothers that were seperated, how hunters cycles count down instead of up because she has a disease, etc!

oh yeah i should also probably do a gender chart so nothing gets too confusing (highlighted in yellow is canon, highlighted in purple is implied, white is just my own personal interpretation)

male- gourmand, monk, survivor

female- artificer, rivulet, hunter

neither- spearmaster, inv, saint, nightcat

oh yeah! i should probably explain the actual main thing you SHOULD be worried about!

basically, every cycle is around 13 minutes i believe (except rivulets, hers are shorter, but its back to normal when you meet five pebbles) and when the 13 minutes is up, you have to find shelter before everything rains. you have a certain amount of food pips depending on the campaign, if you have full food pips you can hibernate for the night and itll save, if you dont have enough filled it wont save and will give you one extra food pip, you can also eat extra so you have a few food pips already filled for the next cycle!

the main objective of the game is to follow the guide (iggy/overseer, i prefer to call em iggy) to Looks to the Moon and then Five Pebbles (theyre both iterators which ill explain later!!!!!) im not quite sure how the campaigns end, but ill find out trust :3

so basically, the iterators are what created the slugcats (i believe) and gave a few of them purposes, most were to send a message (like how spearmaster was made to be a messenger), also they have funky names like “Seven Red Suns” and “No Significant Harassment”

also some parts of the game are just really funny 😭 like i know its a game thats probably intended to make me mad but i cant help but laugh at the fact that spearmaster canonically got top surgery (in a way) and that theres a dating sim after you finish inv’s campaign

after each cycle you gain karma! (everytime you die you loose karma too btw) which can help you get through certain passages :)

remember how i mentioned that hunters cycles counted down instead of up? thats an important detail to her story :) because she basically has a disease, after the certain number of cycles, it starts to effect you, and death is permanent (fun fact! if you die in hunters campaign permanently you can go into gourmands and find her body (did i forget to mention that some parts of this game are actually really disturbing? i HATE the spiders.))

its such a confusing yet amazing game, its definitely worth it to get it with the DLC, the sound effects of the creatures, explosions, stabbing, literally every small detail is incredible and i LOVE the music !! oh yeah theres also an upcoming dlc with the nightcat… im very excited :3

sorry if i yapped a lil too much or jumped around too much or if this is hard to understand 😔

bonus pictures of the slugcats with the timeline :) i love them a lot

Okay! Wow!! This sounds really cool and interesting!! And also stressful because this sounds like a game I'd be horrible at 😅 (but honestly I'm bad at all games except for LoZ games, but even then I still struggle with them). Thank you so much for explaining it to me! The little slugcats are adorable by the way!!!

Also, never worry about yapping too much to me!! It literally doesn't bother me at all. I love hearing what you have to say!!! And getting long asks of people yapping actually makes me super happy ^_^

I hope you have a great day/night 🩵

[crazylittlejester]

Coming over here to bother you about my EAH AU thoughts because I want to write but this stupid fatigue wall let me write my daily prompt and nothing else today. Spent a good chunk of time staring at the document file.

I'm thinking about the Zeldas. Obviously most of them will fit in as the miscellaneous princesses for their respective Links, but not all of the stories even have princesses in them.

Artemis/Athena: Obviously I could just have her be Athena, but I feel like she could also do a Mulan story. She could match with Warriors, they could be Greek mythology buddies.

Flora: I think the thing that really sets her apart is her role in TotK, but there aren't any old fairytales about princesses that turn into dragons, so the best I've got is this book by E. D. Baker that I read when I was a kid. It's probably close enough? I'm already going to have to fudge things for Wild anyway.

Sun: Her whole thing is being the reincarnation of Hylia, so I feel like she should be either a full-on mythological goddess or the avatar of one. I feel like there aren't really any good real-world mythology equivalents because LoZ lore has such a distinct vibe to it. Since Sky's story is going to be about fighting the Jabberwocky, she's probably also from Wonderland, I just need to figure out her role.

Fable: I feel like she'd fit into one of the Charming families alright. Alternatively she could be one of the princesses from Oz, most likely Gayelette if she's related to Legend because they both would inherit magical abilities and Gayelette was both a princess and a sorceress. No clue how that's going to work with Camelot. Maybe Legend could have dual citizenship or something. Although I could be mean and say she's a human princess who fades into obscurity because he outlives her.

Dusk: I can't find any good old fairy tales about princesses that involve puppets or wolves. I'm probably going to have to fudge the entire thing. Which shouldn't be horribly difficult since TP is literally just a fairytale anyway, but I was really hoping to find something.

Tetra: Definitely a pirate. Probably Blackbeard or Bluebeard. Maybe one of those lady pirates that were 100% lesbians. (Side note: The Great Sea could totally be the ocean that Atlantis is under. Wind's divine parent could be one of the gods that sunk it or something.)

Dawn & Aurora: I feel like being miscellaneous princesses actually works in their favors because that's pretty much what they are in canon. I can probably just gloss over the details a little bit and say they're cousins and that Hyrule helped rescue them while he was out killing giants.

Dot: I'm just going to say she's the princess from the story about the four brothers since it fits perfectly. Least amount of work to give her a role. Honestly sort of wish she could be Dorothy from The stories about Oz because of her nickname, but that wouldn't work. She deserves a QPR with Four so that's what she's getting.

Lullaby: I don't think she really does much in OoT other than be Sheik? So my best idea is Mulan, but with the whole ocarina thing she could also be a type of magical princess like Fable, but those are in surprisingly limited supply.

Honorary mention of ST!Zelda: She should be a ghost. A victim of train assassination, maybe Orient Express style. Ends up befriending ST!Link and they get along like a house on fire and she helps him get used to being a ghost after he dies in a tragic train accident.

- A MULAN STORY OH MY GOD THAT SOUNDS AMAZING FOR ATHENA/ARTEMIS

- I am still so so so so so obsessed with Sky and the Jabberwocky I am absolutely just eating that up dude, and I can’t wait to see what you end up deciding for Sun

- A PRINCESS SORCERESS FOR FABLE GOES SO HARD and you’re right that is mean >:( im eating it up tho

- I suppose red riding hood wouldn’t work for Dusk? There’s gotta be SOME fairy tale about wolves out there, I dunno the rules of EAH but there’s gotta be at least some vague one

- YEAAAAAAAH LESBIAN PIRATE TETRA MY BELOVED 😭

- Dot as Dorothy would be soooooo good, and slay her havin a qpr with Four

- Any Mulan story I see I will absolutely eat up and encourage, that’s one of my favorite Disney movies

- ORIENT EXPRESS STYLE. I LOVE IT.

dude i am so excited for all this I love it soooo much!!! please come bother me about it whenever!!

[snail-studios]

hello!!! hope u're having an awesome day/evening :DD so anyway, what got u into botw/tloz? also what other fandoms are u in? ur art is so cute btw!!! ♡

awww hii!!!!! thank you for the question and for saying my art is cute! :D :D :D

♡ big long rant below vvv ♡

i first played botw on the wii seven years ago with my big brother when i was really young! at first..i hated it :V the wii sucked and it was SO STRESSFUL when the stal-monsters came and started attacking me! i even tried diving underwater but just got shot a ton,.. so i didn't play it for a year or so before i got it on the switch and absolutely fell in love with it. it was the most beautiful game i'd ever played, i could be a cute boy and run around naked plus I could ahve a horse. i named her milky and i didn't know i could register her so i left her outside of kakariko and she dissapeared. rip milky ;_;

so after about two years of aimlessly exploring hyrule i found some youtube videos during the pandemic. and it was all theories and cutscenes and one about a romance? and i, being a little fruit, saw te pretty girl on the thumbnail and was instantly hooked. because i was link and link was me, so i wanted to see how i could get a cool elf girlfriend (for perfectly straight reasons, of course -w-). so i was entranced with zelink, and princess zelda. i looked at fanart, i shipped until i realised....this was a boring ship and i didn't even like zelda too much, and i hadn't even watched any of the cutscenes yet.

so i watch aaalll the cutscenes, including a very special one, mipha's touch. cue little me squealing and kicking my legs because it's a mermaid and she heals and she's REALLY pretty. so i begin playing through botw's story in earnest. and i try to get to ruta- fail, and do vah medoh instead (and become obsessed with revali..dark days indeed).but now that i have revali's gale i can easily get to zora's domain and OMG! A SHARK PRINCE!!! AND HE'S MIPHA'S LITTLE BROTHER! SO SHE'S ALIVE!

but wait......why was he referring to her in past tense?

and then i see the statue and have a full link moment because i've played hours and hours just so i can see her and seh's dead????????????/ are you friken kidding me???????????????

i struggle through ruta, kill waterblight after many failed attempts and get the cutscene tm . and i'm shattered, but i've realised that this ship is canon af. mipha loved link and he's looking at her with such intensity. and..you know. i'm a young girl with too much time on my hands because of the pandemic. so i start learning to draw mipha so i can make art -w- and she really fuelled my love for art because she makes me happy okay!! 😭😭

after ages of becoming as OP as possible i get through the rest of botw and kill ganon like seven times and woah :0 who would have guessed---aoc comes rolling along. and the trailers have mipha!

and i love aoc and it just fuels my love for botw even more. so now i've completed all of the shrines and am working through the korok seeds =w=

-

as for other fandoms i'm in i'm a little active in the dunmeshi fandom, same with pjo and nier but it's really mostly just loz stuff atp because there's no way i'm letting mipha go after sixish years and her changing my brain chemistry ♡

i'd love to be more active in all fandoms but believe it or not i can be pretty shy + don't have much time on my hands ;w;U

my dream is for my original story to get its own fandom once it's up hehe ♡

[space-spring]

6, 7, 17, and 19 for the fandom ask game (any fandom of your choice, or multiple fandoms, whatever you feel like chatting about)

Thank you so much for the ask!! :D I think I'm gonna go with legend of zelda on these just to spice it up a bit from my usual SRPG-posting haha. I haven't actually played a ton of the loz games outside of botw and totk, so this is mostly based off of those (although I watched my brothers play a fair amount of the other ones growing up so I have some approximate knowledge of 'em)

6. My favorite character

Link! Probably not a super uncommon favorite character from loz hahaha, but for me it's not super often that I really get into a protag. But there's something about having a little funky just-crawled-out-of-a-forest kid with mutism that really gets me. I've struggled with pretty gnarly selective mutism off and on during different periods of my life, and silent protagonists just strike me as really cool rep for that, intentional or otherwise (and I'd argue that botw link especially does feel like pretty intentional rep given Zelda's journal entries). And there are a ton of cool comics that make me go a little insane about him too

7. My least favorite character

Hmmmmmmm. Zelda's dad maybe? If electric keese count then it's electric keese. I have died to electric keese probably more than any other monster because I have a habit of running around with too few hearts and once they have you drop your weapon I always fumble the whole thing afterwards. 10/10 would not recommend

17. A fandom take I didn’t think about until I saw it, and I fully agree with

I think I was having too much fun to think about it right away, but once people started mentioning it I was kind of bummed that totk didn't really have many callbacks to botw's plot. The champions were some really really cool characters and I would have loved to have seen more talk about them in totk, even just in an off-handed way.

19. Favorite headcanon

Not sure if this is a headcanon per se vs. me just getting overly into the role-playing aspect, but I like to think that Link tries to replicate the Hateno house's hidden study when he builds his new house in Tarrey Town. When I got to the point where I could start building my Tarrey house, one of the first things I got was the little 1x1 study block, and I placed it in this little nook created by offsetting the staircase such that you have to jump off the lower staircase sideways to get to it. Technically speaking at that point I think Link wouldn't necessarily KNOW Zelda was capable of coming back from dragon mode, but I like to think he'd build it anyway out of sentimentality/hope that she would

[bokettochild]

hi hi! i was scrolling through ur blog (i love ur art and fics so much they give me life) and came across a post where u mentioned that u have guardian/manifestation of life legend theory and wanted to ask u if u could pls tell us about it :D

Oh, sure!

So, please keep in mind that most of my exposure to LoZ is through fan-works and the mangas, and this theory is more based off of the mangas, so it's not entirely cannon.

Alright, that covered, here's the theory:

Legend is, in all his depictions in his games, attempting to preserve life. His goals are always people oriented, rather than things. All the other heroes have a particular thing to drive them:

Time is driven by loss of the Deku Tree, of Navi, of all that he knew

Twilight is driven by his need to protect the people of Ordon

Wild is driven by guilt from his failure

Wind is driven (at first anyway) by the need to protect and rescue his family

Sky needs to save the love of his life

Four is rescuing his best friend

Warriors is driven (to a point) by pride, and then after that guilt for his pride, as well as a sense of duty as he is a soldier

Hyrule and Legend are the only two who hae no reason to fight as they do. Now, Hyrule is helping people in his first adventure with no particular reason except he was asked to, but the second adventure he's actively being hunted, so there is some selfish intent in that fact that he's trying to keep himself alive.

Legend doesn't fight for himself or his own goals though. Unlike the heroes before and after, Legend already lost everything before his adventure started, because he lost his whole family in a single night, yet we don't see grief, vengeance or loss drive him. In fact, Legend's reasons for any of his quests is because he sees that people need help, and while he's maybe not the most fit person to provide it, he is the only person who can or will do anything.

Legend is a hero whose goal is to preserve and protect life as a whole, regardless of who or what it is. He feels for the monsters of the dark world, knowing they're just corrupted people, he cares for the small tasks. In some of his quests, there is absolutely no reward: helping a sick mother to comfort her child, paying bills he's never paid back for, reuniting families. He's never promised a reward for most of the things he does, and has nothing to gain from risking his life and well-being to do them, but he does them regardless.

On top of that, Legend is the hero who is closest to the heavens. Going by popular fanon, he's the descendant of Hylia, but also the Chosen of Farore, the Saviour of Nayru and the Beloved of Din, on top of being the hero who rose to aid Lolia's people when her own hero found he couldn't do it alone. Oh yeah, and the Windfish kinda got saved by him too, so there's that.

And on top of all of that, Legend has a deeper connection to living things than most of his brothers. He is literally blessed with the full powers of the Triforce, as we see in the Oracle mangas, and it grants him the ability to understand all things with a soul, be they dead or living. Legend is shown to be able to hear the voices of spirits, the Master Sword, trees and plants, and of course, animals. This is not an ability only accessible through a transformation as it is with Twilight, nor is it reliant on an item as with Four, it's just something he has.

In short, Legend is the guardian of the very goddesses themselves, as well as their domains. He's the hero called to save deities when they cannot save themselves, and considering they are the creators of life (according to Hylian Lore) that makes him the guardian of Life itself, because without the goddesses, life would not exist or be able to flourish: without Din, the seasons become confused and the natural world fails, causing humanity to die with it (as Onox points out) and without Nayru, time becomes confused and distorted, allowing changes to occur and realities to, potentially, be destroyed or split in a million different ways.

Legend protects and prevents against the above things. He preserves life as a whole. He represents the strength of each of the goddesses who he's aided, showing wisdom, courage and power all in equal parts during his adventures, as well as acting as the Light of Hyrule, their Hope, and the protector of the Sacred Power, which is, in fact, what Hylia was created to do (or so I've read).

We see this manifest in the way that everything he turns his attention and love to will flourish. the first example is that, in the ALTTP manga, we see that the apple orchard he's tended since childhood, is so well cared for that the apples within posses healing capabilities, which he actually has to employ to save his own life at one point. His ability to commune with nature and living things is also an example of this.

(I'm not even touching on the telepathy, but yeah, that's also an ability).

To conclude:

Legend's every adventure has focused on life and people, and regardless of his own wants, needs or wishes, Legend has always provided protection for that life, preserving the living world over himself at all times, no matter the cost.

The Things We Lost

Rated G ~2k words LoZ: BotW Hurt/Comfort; Nonbinary Link; Link/Sidon

Link continues to struggle with the trauma of their hundred-year sleep and all the memories they lost in the process. How can they save Hyrule when they can't remember their own past? But Sidon will not let them suffer alone.

It was dark and warm outside, the air thick with humidity and the palpable anticipation of a looming storm. When had it gotten dark? How long had they been sitting in hollow silence? Had another hundred years disappeared in an instant? Link exhaled slowly as their external senses came back to them. The grassy earth was soft beneath them and the solidity of the tree trunk against their back was a reassuring comfort.

"Are you alright, Link?"

Of course. They had gone outside to sit by the pond while Sidon soaked for a while. How had they even momentarily forgotten they were spending time with Sidon? The thought tightened in their throat and knotted in their stomach. Every lapse in memory felt like another personal failure, and of all the things they could have forgotten now, Sidon was the worst.

"Link," Sideon repeated, "you're still here."

Sidon's cool palm cupped Link's cheek, and they instinctively leaned into the touch. They blinked and exhaled again, a sigh escaping with the breath.

"I'm sorry," Link murmured, unable to keep the shame from their voice.

"For what?"

They opened their mouth, but an answer didn't come. They knew it wasn't really about this little slip, even if it was far easier to tell themself that it was that simple than to face the bitter truth. 

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want," Sidon said, forever conscientious, forever attentive. Link knew he would see through an easy lie.

"I don't know," Link answered after a deep breath. "It's just...everyone knows who I am. Everyone remembers what happened a hundred years ago. Even if they weren't there, weren't alive yet, everyone knows. Except me. I'm the champion of Hyrule, and everyone is counting on me, but I can't remember anything."

"That's not true! You've retrieved the princess' memories."

"Maybe. But I don't remember them. It's like watching a performance. Even if I'm in them, it doesn't feel like me. I don't remember doing those things. Or all the things between the memories."

"I don't remember one hundred years ago very well either. I know it's not the same - I was just young, but I only remember scattered moments - watching Mipha train, seeing Princess Zelda for the first time, and..." Sidon trailed off, looking away for a moment. "Sometimes those memories feel strange to me too. It was a different lifetime."

"Why would you stick around me?"

"What? Why wouldn't I stick around?"

"If I had done my job right...Mipha, Zelda, the other champions..."

"You did everything you could, Link. How much more could you have given? You fought against Calamity Ganon to your last breath! And now you're back to fight him once again. Already you've freed my sister and the other champions from Ganon's influence and damaged him greatly in the process. What more could anyone ask of you?"

"I couldn't save them. I couldn't bring them back."

"They wouldn't want you to feel guilty after all you've done. Mipha wouldn't want that. They all knew what it meant to be a champion."

"But I lived! I'm here, I'm still here, and they're not. I should have-"

"Link!" Sidon surprised even himself with how swift his response was, but there was no taking it back. "Please, Link," he said, gentler now, "don't blame yourself for what happened. The only one to blame is Ganon. It's not your fault. None of this is your fault."

Link couldn't bring their eyes to meet Sidon's. Their fingers clenched around the grass and dirt beneath them. The tightness in their chest burned like a fire.

"You do know none of this is your fault, right?"

A silence grew between them, broken only by the faint rumbling of distant thunder and the soft patter of rain beginning to fall. Link wished the moisture on their cheeks was purely from the sky. But then again, this was hardly the first time Sidon had seen them cry. If they had any energy left in them for shame, they might've judged themself harshly for how quickly they fell into Sidon's arms when he opened them, but all they could feel was warmth and relief. There was nowhere they felt as safe as in Sidon's familiar embrace. Their breathing slowed and steadied as they relaxed against the prince's broad chest. Beneath their cheek, they could hear his heartbeat, and the intimacy of it all made their own heartbeat stutter.

"We should get inside before the storm hits. You Hylians aren't quite as waterproof as Zora."

A small smile crept onto Link's face, and Sidon could feel it in the shift of their lips against his skin. He felt a wave of relief. At least one of the storms had abated for the time. Still, despite his own words, he was in no rush to let go of Link. It took the bright flash of lightning and a sudden boom of thunder to spur him into action. He slowly released Link from his embrace and got to his feet. He offered them a hand, and Link gladly took it, pulling themself up. They swayed slightly as their body reoriented itself, and they realised it had probably been far too long since they had last eaten. Just another little tally against themself.

"Link, are you alright?" Sideon asked, arm wrapping protectively around their waist.

"I'm fine, don't worry," they replied, far too quickly to sound convincing, "just a little hungry. I think I missed a meal or two."

"Then there's even more reason to get back inside."

Link nodded, dusting themself off before following Sidon back into the house. The prince ducked low to fit under the doorframe, and Link habitually locked the door behind them. They began to head toward the kitchen, but Sidon stopped them, redirecting them to the table and pulling out a chair for them.

"Sit. I'll take care of you."

Link couldn't protest, couldn't honestly fight back when Sidon's words were so calm and certain. They nudgedd the chair to face the small kitchen before they sat just to keep Sidon in their sight. Had they ever seen Sidon cook before? Part of them wanted to ask what he was planning on making, but the other part of them didn't want to interrupt. They wondered if Sidon had watched them enough to know what was in their kitchen. They were interrupted as Sidon began to hum. The tune was unfamiliar, but soothingly spell-binding. They relaxed in their chair, eyes locked on Sidon as he set to work. From their position, they couldn't quite tell what he was doing, but they trusted him implicitly. It was shockingly easy to let their guard down around Sidon. They were more than happy to just watch him work.

If Sidon noticed his captivated audience, he didn't seem to mind. He knew what he was doing, even if it had been a lifetime since he had learned it. On his own, he rarely put much effort into cooking. Fish was just as good raw as cooked, but he knew Link needed a proper meal, something warm to fill their stomach. And he knew exactly what meal to make - a recipe simple enough for a child to learn and remember it, but satisfying and tasty. An eternity ago, Mipha had taught it to him, a meal for a tired champion, a meal he had made for himself on many lonely nights. Perhaps, even if they couldn't consciously remember it, the taste would be comforting and familiar.

"It's...it's not just the old memories," Link said, breaking their silence. "I feel like I'm always forgetting everything. I forgot why I was even outside before. What sort of hero can't remember whether they've eaten or not? Or why they're sitting outside? If I didn't have Zelda's camera storing those memories, I'd just forget them all over again. What if I forget everything again? What if I forget you?"

The last word came out quiet and pained, and it hung heavy in the air. Sidon set down the bowl he was holding and crossed the floor back to Link's side. He knelt down in front of them, settling one hand on their knee as the other brushed stray hair from their face and tucked it behind their ear. He took a breath to steady himself, feeling an unexpected weight in his chest at the pain in Link's voice.

"I know you won't forget me," he assured.

"You can't say that for sure. I forgot everything before - Zelda, Mipha, myself. What if I forget again? I couldn't forgive myself if I forgot you - but I wouldn't even remember that I forgot you."

"Link, you won't forget again. You...a hundred years ago you died. And I really don't understand how you were brought back, but that's when you forgot, right? Everything before then you forgot, but you've remembered everything since you woke up. You won't forget again because you're not going to d- nothing like that's going to happen again, I won't let it."

"Sidon, you-"

"Sorry, I'm sorry," Sidon said, shaking his head and glancing away. "I talk too much."

"No, you don't! But you...you don't mean that, do you? That you wouldn't just...That you would try to protect me?"

"Of course I mean it!"

"Even when I...when you know what happened before?"

"Of course," Sidon repeated, smiling softly. "Maybe it's hereditary then."

"Hereditary? What is?"

"Believing in the Hylian champion and vowing to protect them to the end."

"What if you regret it? What if she did?"

"Mipha? She'd never regret any time spent on you."

"How can you be sure?"

"The things she left behind. Her armour fits you perfectly. She taught her little brother how to make just one meal - a meal she learned for you. Mipha wasn't afraid at all when she knew she would be fighting by your side. She was glad to be able to help however she could."

"You really believe that?"

"I know I haven't had nearly as many moments by your side as she did, but I can't imagine regretting a single one of them. And she couldn't have regretted them either. Even now that you've given her peace she's trying to protect you with her grace."

Link fell silent again, but they moved one hand to sit on Sidon's where it rested on their knee. In the quiet, the sounds of the storm outside filtered in. Rain drummed heavily against the windows and the roof. Occasional thunder shook the walls, and everything hanging on them rattled. Sidon was half certain his heart was beating loud enough to be heard as well.

"I'm sorry," Link said finally.

"What for?"

"For...I don't know. You probably have better ways to spend your time than listening to me. You don't need me dragging you down."

"Dragging me down? There's nowhere I'd rather be. Why would I want to be anywhere else? You shouldn't have to deal with this all alone."

"I...thank you."

Sidon smiled, squeezing Link's knee gently. He took a deep breath to reorient and ground himself.

"I think I've let you distract me long enough from making your dinner. I don't want your memory of me to be that I let you go hungry when I said I'd take care of you after all."

"You really don't have to. I can make myself something. I don't want to be any trouble."

"You've cooked plenty of food for me. Really this is the least I can do. And if it's actually good food, well you'll just owe me a meal later, deal?"

"Thank you, Sidon, really. And...deal. I won't forget."

5, 9, 14, 17, 20 for video game asks ;D

5) A Popular game/series you just can’t get into: Animal Crossing, I understand the appeal of the series but the feeling of needing to play every day combined with a more mundane gameplay loop just never clicked for me.

9) A game you always mute: The easy answer is Mahjong Soul but as a web-client game I’ll go harder and say the .//hack games not because the soundtrack is bad but because its repetitive.

14) A game you think would be cool with voice acting: FFIX it’s faux high couture cadence would sound fantastic.

17) What game do you never tell people you play: Bloodborne? I don’t really get this question to be honest not many of my conversations involve gaming so I don’t tell most people what games I play.

20) First Video Game you played: My parents and brother actually quite enjoyed gaming in my youth so I got in so early it’s hard to remember clearly but certainly either the original LoZ (I was not good) or Super Mario Bros 3 (I was better at this)

[shwayna]

[little-murmaider]

Yeah, gimmie a A, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P - with a side order of R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y & Z

Oh my GOD dude.

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

Skwistok, Nategaar, Nathan/Skwisgaar/Toki, Pickleface, Polyklok, Abigail/Literally any woman

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Murdertooth. Sorry. 

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

I kind of wish I liked Nickles? There’s a lot of great content for it! But I genuinely prefer them as friends. When people say they can’t ship Skwistok because they seem too much like brothers? That’s how I feel about Nickles.  

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Answered!F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Answered!

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

It was either Arnold and Helga from Hey Arnold!, or Link and Zelda (in all LoZ media, but this was specifically Ocarina of Time). They’re both still up there! 

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)

Every fandom I’ve been active in was for a TV show. Pokémon (I played the games but I wrote “stories” about the anime), Jimmy Neutron, Hey Arnold!, Teen Titans, Metalocalypse, How I Met Your Mother, South Park (BOTH OF WHICH I REGRET. FUCK THOSE SHOWS.) I dip a toe into other things cause I’m curious, but I’m unlikely to write fanfic for anything else. I did come VERY close to writing Adventure Zone fic recently but the impulse faded.

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

I’m pretty good at Curating my Tumblr experience and blocking tags for things I dislike or just am uninterested in. Also MTL is the only fandom I’m active in and that one rules. If I see something annoying in another fandom tag I just bounce!

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

Tumblr is the reason I got into TAZ! And I’m so glad I did, it’s my favorite podcast, I’ve gotten my fiance and some of my very close friends into it as well. Also the actual real name of my wedding dress design is The Aubrey, which is just FATE.

K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms

Answered but also @fasthandfingerwizard​ is such a sweetheart and so kind, and @cthene​ has a fic that’s so good it makes me want to tear my skin off. 

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)

Answered, but Knubbler makes me laugh.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

Answered, but more Skwisgaar Content in general!!!!! Just!!!!! Let me see my boy!!!!!!!!

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

Answered! I did it again and got Eet by Regina Spektor which reminds me of Toki. I have a lot of Regina songs on my Toki playlist.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

I’ve created so many AUs including one very elaborate one please I’m so tired.

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

nAtEgAaR. jk jk jk. I tend to latch to pretty popular pairings, and the MTL fandom is pretty diverse in terms of shipping. I guess………..Abigail/Rachel? Only because it’s a pairing I literally made up. 

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Skwisgaar was raised by wolves.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

Skwisgaar is bi because I’m bi. 

U - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

Skwisgaar Skwigelf - MTL

Eleanor Shellstrop - The Good Place

Aubrey Little - The Adventure Zone

Violet - Monster Pulse

Joyce Brown - Dumbing of Age

V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Skwistok - MTL

I’m Eleanor/Tahani - The Good Place

Link/Zelda -LoZ series

W - 5 favorite ships and 5 kinks you like best for said shipsNot comfortable answering this one publically

sorry!

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

Answered!

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Good Omens, Stardew Valley. 

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

I don’t know man I just love Skwisgaar a lot! And I think he got shafted in the 3rd and 4th seasons and there was a lot of wasted potential for his character, and also Mean is not his only personality trait. He’s goofy! He’s awkward! He’s funny! He likes being included in things! There are a lot of fun directions the show could have gone in for him besides “horny” and “a dick” and “also there” and it was a WASTE.

[firstginger]

1 and 14 for the video game asks!

Thank you so much!! :D

1. First game you played obsessively?Pokémon Stadium! Growing up I didn’t have a N64 but my neighbor/my brother’s friend did, so we’d always show up at his house to play Stadium. LOL we’d make such a big deal of hiding the controller so no one could see what buttons we were pressing to attack, those were the days. The first game I played obsessively using my Adult Brain was Assassin’s Creed! My brother got it for Christmas and enjoyed it but I got totally hooked.

14. Favorite game music?Right now it’s the gym battle theme from Sword & Shield LOL it’s so good!! But I love the Animal Crossing soundtrack, literally like every LoZ song... umm Bioshock Infinite had a really good soundtrack... LMAO Kingdom Hearts is always a classic too, it brings me back to my roots

Must Have Video Games Tag Meme

Alright, so, I don’t post a lot of personal stuff on here, but I guess I can’t fight being tagged by the great @pi3pr0xy​. ;p

So, I got into videogames when I was really young because I had a hip disease, the name is lost on me, but it was something that caused my hip bone cartilage to deteriorate and my bones would start rubbing against each other. I was basically out of commission for playing outside for a few months and my mom had just bought my older brother (who is a big ‘ol redneck) a SNES, which ended up being mine, and the rest is history.

Megaman X - SNES

This was the first game I can remember playing as a kid. This game was the absolute bomb. It had amazing controls, beautiful jraphics, and a compelling story line that pulled me in immediately. This is also the only game I remember playing with my dad who passed away when I was still young. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves old school platformers.

Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past - SNES

I can already sense people who are fans of Game Grumps that there’s a pattern of me picking some of Arin’s all time favorite games as my favorites, but long before I had the internet, I had a 12″ CRT TV at my grandma’s house. A TV on which I would first discover Link, a small boy tasked with saving all of Hyrule. This game was what jumped me into the LOZ series and I’ve fallen in love ever since. The feeling of adventure I felt in this game was immense. I spent hours finding new things, discovering secrets, and just enjoying being in the world.

Final Fantasy VII - Playstation

Call me a fanboy all you want, but this game revolutionized what I thought games could do. with very limited 3D graphics and pre-rendered backgrounds, this game might not look like much, but it’s storyline was amazing. I was engrossed the moment I turned on the game. The Chocobo, the size of Cloud’s sword, the Highwind, and for the love of God; Materia. The Materia mechanic is what really drove this game home for me. I would grind for hours to get the right Materia for the right fight and I loved it even nowadays when people hate the notion of grinding. I had the dopest selection of Materia for all situations and I couldn’t have been prouder.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day - N64

This is the game that gave me a potty mouth. This fucking squirrel was nuts. From helping a bee fuck a flower with boobs, to fighting a opera singing pile of shit, a creepy zombie level, and even a D-Day re-enactment between squirrels and Nazi teddy bears, Conker’s was Bonkers. Through all the horrible language and imagery, this game was an excellent platformer, and really got me into the N64. I guess the normal game to say you have to play on the N64 is Super Mario 64, but nope, this game all the way.

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - Xbox 360

This series was the absolute best at getting you to invite 1-3 friends over and just having a blast slashing and shooting your way through zombies. Seriously, this is the zombie equivalent of Mario Party. I honestly sunk hours and even days into this game trying to get all the achievements. The characters are lovable, the areas are interesting, and the Finales are kickass!

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Xbox 360

Here she is. Big Momma Fantasy. The game that made me feel like a God killing demon. Skyrim, for anyone who doesn’t know, is the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series, and holy shit, I jumped into this series too late, but this is the one I started with. I’ve never spent so much hours in one day on a game then Skyrim. Playing it on a CRT TV with my iHome blasting Scary Monsters and nice sprites will stick with me until I die.

Borderlands 2 - Xbox 360

Handsome Fucking Jack is the best fucking villain of any game ever.

Nier:Automata - PC

Nier:Automata is a game about anime tiddies, androids, and huge swords, so it hits all my weak points. This game started out super intense and I wasn’t sure how I would enjoy it, but then the world opened up to me and suddenly I felt amazing being in control of 2B, the main character. Her fluid attacking animations and spacious areas to traverse and learn are intoxicating. I got lost in this game so fast. Everything in this game is polished (Besides the optimization issues) and being an android fighting machines controlled by robots is just sick as fuck. I liked the game so much I played it 3 times to get the final ending (Plus the 26 other endings. Yeah, 26 fucking endings), which holy shit, I didn't think there was a game I would enjoy playing 3 times in a row. Oh, but wait-

Bloodborne - PS4

You like Victorian architecture? You like horrible, malformed beasts? You like games that are HARD AS FUCK!? I introduce Bloodborne! I love everything about this game. From the art style to the combat, it's all golden. If you think you have what it takes, and it'll probably take a couple of times, you're gonna absolutely love this game. Oh, did I mention that you can just keep playing it into infinity or you can try your hand at PVP, or not. I sincerely hope you don't. I'm already on New Game +10

Stardew Valley - PC

So. You all know Harvest Moon, right? One of the pioneers of farming games. Want to know something cool? Stardew Valley takes everything that made Harvest Moon great and amplifies it by ten. With beautifully detailed 2D graphics, a lovable town filled with unique friends and potential partners, I played this game far more than any of the others. I've gotten quite bored of it after many, many hours now that I have oodles of money to buy anything, but just when I was about to hang up this game as done but fuck-

They introduced a multiplayer function which you can edit how much money you make from selling things, so you know I played that boy with one other person and made everything 1/4 the price so I can feel like a real farmer, struggling to make ends meet. Honestly though, if you love having a good time, this is the game to play.

Honorable Mentions:

Any Pokemon game, including Pokemon GO.

Fire Emblem: Birthright/Conquest/Revelations - In that order.

God Eater Ressurection - Giant beasts, and giant swords, truck yeah!

Overwatch - Please stop nerfing Mercy, Papa Kaplan.

No Man’s Sky - Everyone hated it, but I loved and still love it. SPACE SHOULD FEEL EMPTY
