I just finished Tears of the Kingdom! 

(SPOILERS BELOW) 

I had a lot of fun! The sages were awesome, Link was awesome, Matt Mercer as Ganondorf was awesome, I really enjoyed the final battle! If I was more skilful with dodging and flurry rushes I think the fight with Ganondorf would have felt just like a duel, since he had so many cool moves and parries and whatnot! Really very fun to play :) 

I loved all of the end cutscenes, whilst it would have been nice to see Link’s reaction during the sage’s vow 2.0 everything else was perfect. Also! I don’t need to feel guilty about Zeldragon being lonely for thousands of years anymore! She doesn’t remember any of it! And she said she felt as though she had been sleeping all this time and was woken by something like a warm loving embrace - it was so sweet, Link and Raaru and Sonya’s power felt to her like a loving hug :)

Sidon was amusingly tall in the sages second vow bit! he he! I love him. 

Controversially, I liked that they gave Mineru a proper send off vs the botw champions, whom they didn't. I think the games have been contrasting that sadly spent life and loss with fighting for your friends and companionship. I thought it worked with the theme and the mood really well. Also, again, derpy eyed zeldragon is adorable. 

The only thing I would change, would be Link’s arm. I feel like having had it either gone completely or just a now no longer magical Raaru’s arm might have been better.

Im guessing they’re link and zelda in a past life…or their ancestors, that would make more sense lol.

Eueueue these two :>

Tried out a slightly different shading style this time, no idea if I like it or not

Okay but what if... Raaru's ancestry meant Zelda was part goat-person??

[whyisablog]

Now- hear me out.

The dlc for tears of the kingdom should follow Zelda through the ancient world, where we can hang out with queen sonia and maybe do some quests involving the minish, who definitely would have, and should still have existed at least that long ago, if we're to believe this happens long before hyrule castle was built.

“how do botw and totk impact the zelda timeline?” it doesn’t hope this helps

[catgirlwheels]

Isn't the reason he's so mad at Link because the forklifts refused to certify him?

[kifaprokumiv]

Wips of my wife💜💚

raaru is also there I guess

[hybbart]

are you going to be posting more raaru soon? (it’s totally cool if you’re taking a break I’m just worried about the blorbos 😓 lmaooo)

anyway, I’ve been loving your art + derpy lil designs for the characters, tamacrafters is so adorable hehe. Have a great day!

I will be! I've just been really sick and it's not been quite going away, every time I feel good enough to draw it seems to come back and kick my butt, and it's done it again today. And then the ycyc 24 event started and I've been excited to participate so I've been focused on that, and irl stuff's also happened. Basically everything at once lol.

There should be another raau soon, I just need to find the time and energy to finish it.

Thank you, tamacrafters is very fun to doodle with. I'm glad to have something simple and quick to mess with when I don't have the energy to anything bigger, and something others can also doodle along with.

(SPOILERS FOR EVERYTHING KINDA-)

I DID IT

I FIGURED OUT THE ZELDA TIMELINE

(spoiler alert: Raaru was not the first king of Hyrule, but the first king of THIS Hyrule rebuilt.)

(Lines not to scale)

Zonai SECRET STONES fit in this too!

each stone could resemble an incarnation of link, FAR FETCHED BUT IT FITS- like the secret stones could be like an essence of hero’s spirit (I have no idea what I’m saying it’s 11:00pm and I am rambling, but still)

and before someone says “hyrule warriors” it’s not canon, but if we’re basing off of that it would just come in replacement of zonai /right before or after

Blare food for you for even trying to figure it out, Zelda lore and timeline is SO over my head haha

Hyrule has BEEN THROUGH IT, dang😳 and she ooooooooold too!!! Like, my goodness

[gloriousmonsters]

Yknow something else that rly grinds my gears about TotK's storyline. So in most Zelda games there's always the "King Of Hyrule" w/ no mention of the queen even though there's always the implication that sacred power of the family is matrilineal. This is even made explicit and is a plot point in BotW, and obviously the assumption is that they got this power from SS Zelda's bloodline.

BUT THEN TOTK COMES IN AND IS LIKE "um actually they got this power from a man. The sealing and light power is from Rauru and Sonia has time powers instead. btw we're gonna stick her in the fridge while we're at it. So yeah this power that only manifests in the royal women that is passed down from mother to daughter and is said to be the goddess's power is actually from a man, not a woman you stupid fucking idiot."

It's just. Whyyyyyyyy

even MORE belated reply, but YEAH--it's honestly just very weird to me how Raaru and Sonia are treated like Zelda's New, Cooler Parents and her powers being split between them feels like part of that, even though it makes... very little sense (are you saying that if we just did some intermarrying with the Zora and Gerudo sages the next Zelda could have Spirit/'''''''lightning'''''''*, water, light, sealing, AND time powers? We are rapidly entering Lightlark territory and that is the worst possible place to be).

But yes, suddenly introducing 'there was a man from a different, Even More Superior race behind the powers that have been solely characterized as belonging to Zelda and associated (though I have very mixed feelings on SkSw) with the Hylian/Zelda's patron goddess' feels pretty damn sexist, especially paired with how Sonia's character is pretty much 'Wife, who is also Motherly' with a very child-of-nature, barefoot and Primal design, because women are Primal unlike men who are smart and science and have robots dont'chaknow. Paired with, yknow, taking away Zelda's pants and her main scientific/technical interest and putting her in a white dress so she can cry and be pure of heart and a sacrificial maiden. It's pretty awful, especially since while BotW is awful about some women, Zelda's character is one of my favorite things from it because she got to be a little less traditionally feminine and had scientific/technical interests.** It's another case of 'it's not just you fucked up, but you fucked up SO badly it's hard to comprehend' in TotK's story and characterization.

*someday, i will reach a kind of peace with Spirit being taken from the Gerudo to be given to the NEW Super Godly Race that they Sinned against. it is not that day and will not be for a while

**Nayru, Zelda's patron/associated goddess before everything became the Hylia Show, is said to be the goddess of science as well as magic in ALttP's lorebook <3 so Zelda being a researcher/scientifically minded feels especially right to me

"I know betrayal isn't meant to be nice, BUT COME ON DEMON KING. YOU COULD'VE GONE FOR RAARU INSTEAD."

<... you're really mad about THAT? INSTEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE?

(...I hate you two..)

"Oh, shut it."

<Oh, shut it.

[whodefinitelyfucks]

Raaru (Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom) definitely fucked.

If my dash is anything to go by, he would fuck eternally
