#revali teba loves you

[smilesrobotlover]

Small Revali’s for anyone who needs it. This guy has me in a chokehold

[muchmossymess]

uh oh guys, hot take alert:

i think revali may have invented hand held aerial archery HEAR ME OUT- (this is a long one boys)

okay. evidence one: why the fuck would a rito shoot like that. like, it makes nearly zero sense, it would be such a hindrance to their flight and their main stake is that they can be higher than you can shoot whilst still pinging you... which revali has overcome with his gale

evidence two: tulin and the concept arts. obviously rito style archery would be held in their talons. before totk came out idk if anyone had really thought about it too much, but the developers had, as you can see in concept art (from the creating a champion book). and like, its logical, powerful, and allows for peak maneuverability. also, when in flight revali (and teba) holds his bow in his talons before switching to his wings. surely its easier to keep it in your wing (obvi ignoring the effects to flight but hes doing that anyway firing the damn thing) rather than switch back and forth- unless you were taught that way, because why would you hold it elsewhere, you need it in your talons to shoot.

evidence three: we dont see any other rito do it (...kind of). throughout botw and totk, we never see another rito flying with a bow in their hands. in totk, its mostly tulin, who holds it in his talons, but in botw the big one is teba. during the medoh quest, he actually gives *link* his bow, and therefore does no shooting in the sky. teba and harth had both tried to take on medoh before, but we never see this, and while they holds their bows in their hands *on the ground,* we dont see it.

...except for aoc (uh, spoilers?). there are two times we see a rito other than revali hold their bow in their hand for aerial archery. but it is not with any rito soldiers, either during cutscenes (the bows are only on their backs) or gameplay (they swoop down, and then hand hold bows on ground. they arent seen flying at all but thats prolly for the same reasons as botw: its very hard to code that (and so they write the lore around that fact)). the first time we actually see another rito do this, we dont see it. Its teba, as he comes thru the portal, but all we see is the arrow shot, and then him freeze frame with the bow in one wing. we dont see the bow in his hand for the rest of the fight. the second time we actually see him fighting like this, it *is* in the air, but its noticeably different to revali.

hes a lot slower, it clearly takes a LOT more effort to shoot the bow, and he only pulls off one arrow at a time. its canon that revalis bow is heavier/harder to draw, and he manages to effortlessly stream arrows whilst fucking floating midair. i think teba, forever a revali fanboy, heard of how the champion mastered his own style of archery and sought to teach himself, but lacked one key thing: revalis mastery of wind.

evidence three point five: revali could easily use his powers to hold him in the air longer/slow his descent long enough for him to fire his shots. it makes sense, really. if he can use his gale to propel him, he can sit on the updraft for a hot sec, or even curve the path to carry him along while he lines up the shot. this would mean he wouldnt need to flap as much as other rito, who would obviously need to keep flying

evidence four: revalis fighting style and his needs. revali works with non rito, obviously. he needs to be able to communicate with them on the battlefield, and they wont understand the muffled chirps if he holds his string in his beak, so he needs his mouth free to speak hylian. also, revalis main tactic is fly up with gale, shoot, fall, either shoot more or use velocity and weight to knock around opponents, and then fly back up. he often needs both feet planted firmly on the ground to get a good hold of his gale, something that is harder to do if you have a bow in the way.

also, take for example the kick he delivers link in their fight (aoc). that would possibly damage the bow, or give the opponent a chance to grab his weapon, if he held it in his talons. and to switch from feet to back is a risky maneuver during freefall, and could lose precious seconds, and then when you get back in the air you need to get it off your back again. its much easier to keep the bow loosely in your wing the whole time, meaning your free to attack melee, land and rise all while not wasting a single moment getting your next shot lined up.

so yeah, i think the rito used the talon grip for aerial archery, and would often use the hand held method on the ground for a variety of reasons (more powerful shots?, easier in some situations like hunting), but revali was perhaps the first to use hand held aerial, another reason he was one of the greatest archers ever.

The warriors of the Great Eagle Bow

A bow without equal wielded by the Rito Champion, Revali. It’s said Revali could loose arrows with the speed of a gale, making him supreme in aerial combat.

🏔🧚‍♀️😤 for the asks?

 🗻 If you were in a Zelda game, where would you live? What would you be doing? (aside from being the hero or princess)

Ooh! Such a good question! I think I would be an NPC who lived in Hateno, but was a traveling historian intent on finding out more about the calamity 10,000 years ago, and uncovering who the champions were 100 years ago. I’d quite like to be the NPC who gives you lots of fun tidbits of info on other characters, as a result. 

Like if I ask for 200 of a certain item, I’ll tell you about something. Maybe every item has a secret. The silent princesses has a secret about Zelda, but an intimate one, like her favourite time of day or where she would go to escape her duties or what she wished she could do or something. 

Maybe all the flowers have what the champions loved or enjoyed. If you give enough Swift Violets I could tell you about the love princess Mipha had for Link, or enough cool Saffinas and you would find out about Revali’s love (platonic or romantic) for his best friend or another NPC who is never mentioned again. 

It would be the plot bunny fanfic gold mine dialogue, everything would be fun little facts about characters, mostly the champions, but on occasion in the research, I would find out about Teba’s allergy to Amaranth pollen, or Sidon’s favourite meal or something, and it would be different for every item. Maybe a bit like the korok quests but for lore. 

🧚 Favorite Zelda companion?

That is so hard!!! Linebeck is awesome and so is Midna, but I really love Fi. If the champions count then its an easy win for them, but if not, I think because Fi influenced some of Botw and was so sweet (albeit annoying sometimes) in SS, I’ll have to go for Fi. It’s very close though. I love all the companions. 

😤 Any Zelda-related Pet Peeves?

Honestly I think one would be the lack of the clawshot in Botw, I loved that thing! Another would be how repetitive Fi was in SS. I think my most hated mechanic (and therefore pet peeve) would be timed missions. They’re so hard!

I also find the fact you can’t change which thing you’re looking at (aka missions vs plot-missions vs cooking etc) on the AoC map a little annoying. There’s so much to look at (YEY theres a lot to do and I love the game) but also. There’s so much to look at (I can’t concentrate and am getting overwhelmed). 

Thank you so much for the ask this was so much fun!! 

[ashi-cookie]

not to be a furry but i am playing totk while crying about revali

[askthenewritoelder]

Master Revali,

I’ve recently been informed of your posters hanging near the entrance to Rito Village. As Rito Elder, I must warn you that this isn’t allowed; you do not have the authority to ban individuals from our village without my permission. Link and Zelda are welcome at any time and if you disagree, at least follow the correct protocol to ensure your complaint is processed officially. All Rito are required to do this, and unfortunately you are no exception.

At this point in time, I’ve only seen two posters signed with your name. If there are any others I’ve missed, please let me know. It’s crucial for these posters to be collected for future reference.

Signed,

Rito Elder Teba

Has anyone ever told you about that time Princess Zelda tried to get Link to eat a frog alive?

Thank you for this insight, I have taken actions accordingly.

I'm sure Teba will be delighted to have one less thing on his plate as the new Elder.

[asksakitherito]

In two days time I will be going to the Gerudo desert, since the recent outbreak in Rito village has been treated and the quarantine has been lifted I'm heading out as soon as tomorrow morning.

Teba, I will be gone for two weeks. I've laid out plans for meals aswell as how to properly prepare them, I have also found someone to step in as the village's medic in my absence. Please take care of my boys while I'm gone, Love Saki. @askthenewritoelder

Revali, Thank you again for the gifts and this opportunity. I promise that I will make the most of the trip. Take care of yourself in my absence, Love Mom. @asktheritochampion

Tulin, I'll be going away for a couple of weeks, please stay out of trouble and listen to your father while I'm gone. Love Mom. @tulin-sageofwind

(Okay, this will be a break in my posts. As said two weeks I will not be doing much posting unless I have something I need to put out. I have to focus on my schooling for a while and will make an announcement when I am officially back. My inbox wont close however so feel free to leave questions or whatever you please and I will reply as soon as I can! XOXO blog owner)

[riddlemearose]

hello i have come to ask more about wild with magic he cant controll

i love that hc so much and it fits him so well! like no one taught him bc hyrule was mostly empty, and he wouldnt even know he had it himself because why would he! its genius!

Sure, I’m happy to info-dump lmao.

I know other people have already come up with the "Wild has magic" headcanon about botw before, but for me it honestly started as a series of jokes with a friend. Basically it made sense to me since all the other Champions’ abilities are either outwardly shown to be magic like with Mipha and Urbosa, or at least implied to be, as in the case of Daruk’s magic being hereditary, and Revali’s being something no other Rito has managed to achieve.

So we were both like “oh yeah, he’s got to have magic” *cue shitposts and memes*

There’s minor evidence to support its existence in botw; Teba says to Wild “it was as if time stopped with every arrow you let fly”, and Daruk’s Training Journal mentions that Link once told him that it feels like time slows down when he focuses. Some people take this to mean Wild has really good reflexes and others went with magic. I’m in the ‘Wild has magic’ camp bc someone did the math and worked out he’s like… almost moving at super-sonic speeds when he closes the distance to start a flurry rush.

The reason I say he can’t really control it is bc the only time he’s ever shown being able to do so is to enter and exit bullet time. That’s literally it. If you dodge at the right moment, even if you don’t want to flurry rush, it’ll still trigger and give you the opening to perform one (which ends after like 1-2 seconds of inaction). Wild also doesn’t have a magic meter like some other Links do; he uses his stamina. He’s literally brute-forcing his way through his magic (which, side note, Urbosa must’ve hated watching). And, to build off that last sentence, this means that Wild probably doesn’t have a lot of magic, but he does recover it incredibly fast – especially compared to the others who have to use potions. More on this last part in a moment.

It’s true that no one was there to teach him per se, but I think it’s a tad more complicated than that bc botw has an odd thing where it shows a lot of magic users (at least as far as I understand when compared to other games) but doesn't go into detail, which is fair given the Calamity. This means we don't really have a concept of how prevalent magic usage is in the grand scheme of things.

Looking at the series in a whole, for hylians/humans magic is largely limited to the Royal Family (specifically the women of the Royal Family), and they seem to mostly wield light and divine magic, very different from time magic. (The Ocarina of Time is there, but that’s an heirloom and not severely limited with its function based on whether its user has royal blood or not.)

And given how the Sheikah have been treated in botw's Hyrule's history, as they are the only other hylians aside from Flora and Wild who are shown using magic, I'm guessing it's not a skill you want to encourage, and innate magic users, even if they weren't Sheikah, were probably affected by the roll-on effect of the genocide for a very long time. This would create a long, deep-set history of missing knowledge that eventually affects the present.

If you ignore the potential loss of magic teaching, honestly I would assume it’s still hard to teach someone magic when you don’t share that particular type bc it probably requires knowledge that you don't have in regards to how it flows and can be controlled in order to be used. I do very genuinely believe Wild knew that he had magic before he died tho, bc I think Urbosa would’ve told him. It was the only time she ever heard him speak and the convo went something like Urbosa: you have magic. You just did magic. Link: nuh-uh Urbosa: FYM NUH-UH

This lack of training and general knowledge of how magic works is what I partially attribute to his weapons breaking as fast as they do. Attunement doesn’t actually exist obviously, but in fantasy worlds where it’s a part of the magic system, it’s a conscious step. It’s only seems to become an involuntary one when the person attuning the item has a lot of experience with the field that item is used in.

What I mean by that is Wild’s obviously never learnt actual theory (and it might be too late to fix the groundwork he's already laid), so he’s only ever been able to make his magic work in conjunction with the one thing he’s already being trained to do: weapon-fighting.

This is why he has flurry rushes, bullet time, and his fast recharge time. His magic manifests alongside his physical capabilities (so it will recover just as fast as his stamina does) and is attuned to flow through physical objects that simply aren't designed to withstand prolonged exposure to it (so his weapons, bows and shields will degrade and break faster).

I do believe his magic is something he has the ability to train (take the change to how bullet time uses stamina between botw and totk for example), and I personally like to write him getting a one-hit-swing second of slowed down time whenever he parries, but I think these ‘upgrades’ would honestly just come from fighting more and pushing himself in those situations, not from learning basic magic principles lmao.

And honestly, Wild’s magic is just really funny to me bc it has shenanigan potential that’s really only limited by your own creativity and his stamina wheel.

I say that because part of this magic headcanon actually grew from a post-totk headcanon where I whole-heartedly believe that Wild and Flora end up sharing the Sage of Time title, since there’s one extra Secret Stone floating around and they both specialise in different types of time magic. The joke w/ my friend has now become “well, if Wild can’t even willingly activate his magic unless highly specific circumstances are met, wtf is going to happen when it's amplified?"

Answer: he has literally no idea what he’s doing. He has accidentally slowed time on several pots/ladles/plates/etc that got knocked over, mistakenly frozen a yiga sword which yanked it straight out of the yiga’s hand – he meant to freeze the yiga whoops – and intentionally managed to slow time on one (1) bokoblin (and has not managed to replicate that result since). … he’s getting there. Maybe.

(Additional follow up lore can be found in this reblog. Also adding this to prevent future confusion at my accidental vagueness on this: yes Wild knows he has magic.)

[glassesfreekjr]

Can we analyse Tulin for a bit?

Apart from being the keet birb boy, perhaps what makes his character so enthralling is how it so brilliantly reflects and offers commentary on the influences that have shaped him.

Whether that be Revali, his father Teba, and ESPECIALLY Link. Hell, it's no wonder that Link & Tulin have garnered such a sibling dynamic. Tulin essentially IS Link, from a time before the burden of responsibility and pain caused Link to cave in on himself pre-Breath of the Wild.

Right down to the veteran warrior father figure (Link's father was captain of the guard) and their acceptance of a newfound legacy out of forthright integrity. Tulin, at this point in his life, has yet to give himself away until there's nothing of him left to give, and let's pray he never needs to.

But Tulin would do that in a heartbeat, if called upon. He is very much his father's son.

You can see it in how archtypical childish spunk is tempered, like steel, by Teba's down-to-earth bluntness and sheer work ethic.

(BTW I wonder if Link sees his own father in Teba? That'd check out.)

But what caught me most pleasantly off-guard is Tulin's skepticism, which has become one of his most compelling traits for me. It's not something you would expect.

He did not believe that the Stormwind Ark existed, and while ultimately proven wrong, it frankly wasn't an illogical assumption to make. Tulin clearly thought through that opinion. He'd also grown frustrated that the Rito placed their faith on a songbook miracle — a eucatastrophe, if you will — instead of something more concrete like personal skill or, say, Link's whole-ass existence.

The second Link arrived and offered his aid, Tulin accepted his help without hesitation. He turned his skepticism inward to reevaluate his own tenets. And it's as a duo that they brought about said eucatastrophe through no one's strength but their own. They are siblings, Your Honor. Aryll 2.0

(If Revali had been blessed with a support network saying "it's okay to accept help. no man is an island," doubtless he still would have perished in Vah Medoh. But there would be less of an ego to shatter. He would have faced death with less blind panic and more dignity. And most importantly, he'd have other people to bolster the wind beneath his wings during his short life. (At the very least, Revali would not have as big an ass not be as big an ass, just as Tulin would be a different person without his family.)

dammit quaquaval you have RUINED me

Also, one thing that everyone seems to miss is just how deceptively intelligent Tulin turns out to be. This kid fuckin' knows his stuff. His mastery of aerodynamics beyond the instinctual is almost on par with Revali at such a young age. And how many precision headshots has his avatar saved your ass with, don't lie.

He somehow managed to follow his father back through time. Tulin can see Koroks.

It's not the same kind of passion-fuelled intellect as, say, Zelda has. More of an unyeilding conviction to learn all he can and put it into practice. About as understated a quality as Yunobo's inexplicable business acumen and economic sense.

As his mother Saki put it, for Tulin to develop as an individual, he needs to experience more of reality and its hardships. Shooting bullseyes and improving one's flying prowess / wind magic can't contend with genuine combat. True to her word, Tulin had to experience mistakes firsthand, and critically examine his own naïve ways of thinking in order to take those necessary steps.

...

So then, uh, is it wrong for me to wish something horrible upon him, if only to witness the positive character growth that springs from it? Tulin isn't the sort who'll shatter under pressure, like Revali did at the end of his life, or like Link did under the weight of expectation. Buckle, yes — but not break. Tulin's steadfast conviction, inherited from his father and guided by the people he loves, would assuredly see him through.

In any event, his Hero's Journey isn't close to over. I'd be curious to see Tulin at its conclusion.

tl;dr I wanna Emesis Blue his bitch-ass, AITA?

[askthenewritoelder]

Good morning, Teba. Happy Yuletide.

I have no interest in interupting your family affairs so I've left Tulin, Saki and Link's gifts under your obnoxiously decorated tree and I'm going to go and patrol the Village for the day to ensure that everyone is safe from attack while they're preocupied with this christmas nonsense.

Anyway, this is for you. I know you enjoy alcohol so I picked you up this barrel of aged cider from Luralin. I also noticed now that I have resumed ownership of my bow and Tulin has been given the copy you made, that you're shooting with a dull Falcon Bow. It doesn't suit you to have something run of the mill with your skill level, so I've had crafted for you this - I call it the Great Hawk Bow, and it is a masterpiece of my own design - the Great Eagle Bow 2.0, if you will.

You spend too much time aspiring after me, Teba, trying to be somebody you're not. The truth is, you surpassed me a long time ago, whether you mastered the winds or not, you're an archer who could likely best even me. You helped Link defete the Calamity and keep the Village safe where I failed. It's time for you to make your own legacy now.

I...for what it's worth- you....deserved a better rolemodel than I could ever be. I am not kind, nor humble - I don't get along with people, there is a good reason I lived alone before my death. I am greatful to you for your patience living with me these past several months, I know I am not always an easy person to be around, and often you feel disapointment having met the real Master Revali only to discover that I am not everything you dreamed I was. You're a good man, and a phenominal leader - you deserve someone good like Link to be proud of, and I'm glad you have absorbed him into your little family.

….Welcome back, Master Revali. I hope your patrol went well. Thank you for the letter and the gifts you left for everyone. You didn’t have to, really. You being with us…is more than we could ever ask for.

You’ll stay for dinner, right?

[muchmossymess]

A Revali Fanfic Recommendation

I urge you all to put your life on hold for a moment and go read this brilliant fanfiction:

A hundred years after the fall of Hyrule to Calamity Ganon, and the hero Link has finally sealed the darkness and freed the Divine Beasts of their curse - and with it, their pilots are finally free. But not just as spirits. Awake once again, the four Champions of old have a second chance at life and must re-adjust to this future world with their decendants. Well - all except for one Champion, who doesn't have a decentant. Or even anyone left alive that knew him. Teba is happy to take in his revived ancient idol as one of his own, but sharing a living space with a hundred year old Champion with an ego the size of his divine beast and who might have some issues he's not willing to share can be a lot sometimes and they don't always see eye to eye. Revali thinks he should return to leading the new generation of Rito warriors. Teba thinks this actual child should never have been leading warriors or fighting a war in the first place. Tulin is just excited to have the infamous Rito Champion in his house.

Beautifully written and lovingly crafted, this baby can fit so much trauma and whump into the most gut-wrenching and heat-breakingly found family story you may ever read. 130,000 words, 36 chapters (and still regularly updating!), and a CRIMINALLY low number of kudos. If that doesn't sway you, here is some gushing under the cut <3

You think you've read a champions revival fic before? This will have you saying "how the FUCK have I not seen this before" and completely change the way you view everything (mild exaggeration. m i l d). We have all of your favourite revali tropes: being a dick and getting owned, being a dick and being right, getting own and never showing those feelings to the light of day, getting killed, getting unkilled and loved, showing emotions but being super weird and revali about it, bonding with tulin!!, bonding with teba and the rest of rito village, bonding with the champions, having panic attacks and trauma, vah medoh being the best ever, being a terrifying force of nature, being an idiot kid, and so much more!

Do you like grumpy dad teba? Do you like revali swallowing his pride? Do you like revali immediately spitting his pride back up and being a bitchy bird? Do you like mipha and revali as gossip buddies? Do you like the complete and utter fool revali makes of himself everytime he so much as hears the name link? Do you like people seeing right through his facade and calling him out on it?

AND NOT TO MENTION THE WORLD BUILDING??? this fic is so in depth of the political climates, racism, lore, changes in culture during times of war, colonisation, biology of the races and just fucking everything?? It adds so much life to the world of hyrule I am genuinely shocked at how much this person clearly loves these games (botw/totk/aoc) and they are able to incorporate all of this amazing information in a way that flows so naturally and just hhrnngngg I am fucking insane about it. THE SCIENCE, oh my god how did I forget all the wonderous thoughts surrounding the divine beasts and the sheikah tech, oh god and how they write the magic system? Guys I swear it's so good.

Characterisation is on point, everyone feels so full of life and that they are reacting exactly how you would expect them too, and they just seem so real, like they are right beside you as you're reading. The author does an IMMACULATE job of drawing you in and making you feel a part of the story, all the while being just beautifully written?

Don't get me started on the attention to rito culture. I have never seen someone pour so much love into something before, genuinely on of the greatest things I've seen. I've always had a fascination over how the races of hyrule view each other, similarities and differences, how their cultures and histories intertwine, and conflicts that may arise. But oh. my. god. My jaw was on the floor every time, it's so rich and beautiful but not without the horrors (and oh god, they are Horrors tm) and again it's just so real!!!

Be warned, however, that there is gore and viscera and terror and hurt and war crimes and death (duh), but for each terrible thing to happen it is repaid tenfold in love and kindness somewhere down the line. (Unless you are into hurt no comfort, then sorry buddy!) It is a beautiful narrative and the exploration of trauma and self is mind boggling and just go read it!!! 😭 😭 😭 I just love this fic so much, it has instantly sky-rocketed to one of my top 3 favourite fics I've ever read, and I'm so grateful to have found it and now be along for the ride that if I could bring that to one more person then by god I will fucking do it

[nightttoon]

Ello! I was wondering if you are still doing Legend of Zelda requests. If so I’d like to ask for a rather simple topic. How would our precious bird boi Revali, And if you can Teba and Tulin (Tulin platonically of course), react to a Rito Reader who lacks the ability to fly? It’s not discussed how or why the reader cannot fly, if they were born with the disability or if they lost it, either way they are now the first earthbound rito to live in Rito village. Would they try and help her, or would they listen to the new ways reader has learned to get around hyrule without even needing to fly. Would they tease her or feel pity? Really I just want to see how they would react to see someone without the ability they pride themselves for. Thank you for listening and thank you so much if you do this request!

Love, me 💚

Revali was making fun of you at first. Rito who cannot fly? Pff, are you even a rito then??

It was for a long while, untill he heard you talking with other person from village about all the difficulties you have with such disability...

Revali felt ashamed after that... he knew that it wasn't exactly his fault that you can't fly, but he couldn't help it. What if he lost ability to fly or was born without it...? Damn, life would be boring and useless for him then...

Next time you met, rito champion asked if you can go with him. Turned out, he found a spot on rito territory, where wind feels as if you are gliding in the sky... he watched how your feathers flattered and smile appeared on your face...

Revali cannot explain it, but since then he started looking for such places if he was in other parts of Hyrule, telling you about them then you meet.

If he happened to travel with you, he mostly kept close to the land, so you could talk, occasionally raising up in the sky to be "your eyes" as warrior called it. Mostly helping to find direction or place to make a stop at.

He was interested in how your life changed, what were you doing now and how you travelled. Revali tried to not raise questions about your flying ability, cursing himself if he made too harsh comment about how much shame it is that you cannot join him on his flying trips.

He even asked Zelda and champions if where are devices that could help you...

Teba's heart aches every time he sees you. Man isn't one to show emotion easily, but sight of you walking on your two just to get from one place to another... it makes him sad.

He saw you not once, while you were walking around rito territory. Where everyone flew, you walked on foot. It was confusing for him, till he confronted you about it. Warrior regretted it moment explanation left your mouth.

You sounded like you were over it, at least you tried to sound so. But he saw how hurt you looked, watching young birds learn to fly...

Teba would protect you if other villagers start acting rude around you.

He probably would ask Link to tell him where he got paraglider or even Purah to make something for you.

If it works, he would happily help you get used to it. It not, rito warrior will gift you something else, that would remind you that you are just as much rito as he and others, even if you cannot fly.

Tulin, oh sweet boy.

First thing first, he didn't know it's possible. Then Tulin asked you about it, he wasn't ready to get such answer. He apologized.

Boy went to his parents, asking what he can do for you, then they didn't have ideas he went to Link and Zelda.

Young rito and hero of Hyrule decided to teach you use paraglider.

If it works out well, he will take you to the places he likes, helping you rise up with his ability.

If not, well... he tried. But! Tulin will be happy to hear about your life. He is so damn curious about your everyday experience.

Tulin would be so happy if you explained him how you travel, or how you get to the places he would normally get by the sky. He even tried to travel with you, but his legs got tired with so much walking.

Young sage would visit you often, introduce you to his parents, Link, Zelda and other sages in case you will need help in other regions.

He will also show you his ability, sometimes fooling around and blowing wind at you. It becomes kind of your 'hello' with him.

Requests are open

[championrevali]

@avenin 👀👀 yes I doooo, I do have ocs I would love for people to draw if they're feeling ✨️inspired✨️

Here's their info for anyone who is interested (art is by the fabulous @axidentshappen ily so much thank you for drawing them)

Basht (he/him, 24) is a warrior for the village, he prefers spears over a bow and arrow. He's very sarcastic, and a little prideful, but he's really a softie for anyone he really cares about (the majority of the village)

He has white feathers, golden eyes, and has the very classic rito braids on the side of his head, with Emre's feathers weaved in. The back of his hair is very spikey and short.

Emre (he/him, 23) is one of the village bards, he can play a variety of instruments, but plays the lute most often, and in the words of Basht, is a little shit. He's very mischievous, but very optimistic and tends to see the best in every situation.

He has lighter blue feathers, with blue eyes, and his hair is all in one braid down his back, with basht's feathers braided in.

Fun facts about these two:

-they are Teba's great grandparents, and they're a few years older than Revali. The ages seen above being their ages when the Calamity returns (I view Revali as 17 or 18 when the Calamity happens)

-Basht used to have hair almost as long as Emre's, but in his early days of spear training, his hair got caught on the blade of the spear when he pulled it off his back, and it gave him a very impromptu haircut. After that Emre fixed it by cutting it the style it is now, and even if he sometimes misses his long locks, he prefers how easy it is to manage short, and doesn't want to put in the effort of growing it out

- Emre brought the concept of rickrolling to Hyrule, which for him is usually hiding in places around rito village where no one can see him and playing the song, or giving performances and then just suddenly changing whatever normal song he's playing

-Emre was the one to ask Basht out, he asked him out by writing him a song and playing it in front of Basht's entire warrior training class. He said yes, obviously but is supposedly still planning his revenge for the mocking from his training mates

-They're mentioned a grand total of one time in The Champions Bond. They originally started off as just two random names I threw in there for convenience, and now, I love them.

"Link knows what emeralds mean to a Rito. He had been there when Basht was flaunting the overly flashy beads he had commissioned to ask Emre to marry." (The Champions Bond, Ch 1)

-They have a daughter, a three year old named Kaita. She takes after Basht more so than Emre in looks, but her personality so far is all Emre. Very sassy, and has an affinity for music.

-After the Calamity, Basht starts training Kaita self defense just in case the Calamity somehow manages to break out of the castle. When she grows up a little bit more, he starts actually teaching her how to fight, and use a spear and bow and arrows. She grows up to be a warrior like Basht, but still loves playing the lute with Emre

Hope yall like my little rito family, here's a family picture of them together, ask me more questions please I love talking about them

[cactusisconfused]

I give you more ghoap botw ideas cuz I love the au

Here are the boys :DD ghost is designed more after link in totk cuz I felt that suited him more, and soap’s in a version of Zelda’s ceremonial dress (for him it’d be robes or some kind of suit)

For the ghosts/champions i also had some ideas

Revali - Nikolai (mainly cuz hehe pilot) or Gaz

Urbosa - Laswell

Daruk - Price or Alejandro (I lean more ale on this one, but I’ll get to why in a minute)

Mipha - Roach

Sidon - Rudy or Alex

Riju - Farah

Teba - could also be Nik

And I have no clue who Yunobo would be

King Rhoam - Price

Now hear me out, I know in hyrule warriors Rhoam was kinda a dick. I say Price would be the king because as a captain he had to make hard decisions same as a king. So in this au let’s say that Price sees that yes soap isn’t paying attention to his studies/training nor has unlocked the goddesses power yet, but he does see his son trying to help his people. (though in a really dangerous way)

So as the King, Price orders the swords champion as Soap’s personal guard to keep him safe with all the dumb shit he’s been pulling. While he’s still hard on Soap with unlocking his power; he understands that you can’t really rush it, and over all is just proud of how far Soap has come already. When the calamity hits Price fights with his people until his last breath, and prays to the goddess that Soap and Ghost are ok. (Whoa that got sad, i’m sorry 😅)

Ok sorry that this is very long, I just really like botw and totk and love the idea of this au!! Also have my recreation of that one memory :DD

OOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE THIS!!!!

AND YOUR ART-VERY TASTY!!!

Honestly I agree for the most part about the characters. Ravoli I feel is hard to place given he has a very cocky and self assured personality that none of our guys truly fit. I want to say Nikolai would fit the most, but I also think he would work great as Teba as well (mainly cause of the pilot thing.)

I wonder though, if roach would be a better Teba given Teba in game is seemingly a man of few words (but I also head canon roach as quiet but an absolute menace, so another problem there.)

Anywho, I also have no clue who yunobo would be either 😅

-

I feel Ghosts family should also somehow be implemented into the BOTW lore. I’m thinking that when he was going through the process of getting the master sword and training to be a royal knight, not because he felt he had a duty to the royalty of hyrule, but to gain enough respect and fear so that he could finally protect his family from not only his father but from monsters and other intruders.

However, he gains more than he ever thought he would, becoming more than just a simple knight. He has less time with his family, his mother, brother, Beth and Joesph.

Eventually, some event happens were Ghost has to go against the yiga clan. In response, the yiga clan sets out to massacre Ghost’s family, much like how they did in the comics.

I think that event, that failure to protect his family, is what drove him to go completely mute, on top of already being quiet in the first place.

Idk, this turned into a long ramble. I am living for your thoughts though, love them! :)

[the-whole-shebang]

I love the Champions headcanons <333 do you have any more...? :O

Champion Headcanons P. 5

Featuring the post-Calamity Champions

When Teba first met Riju he was like "This is a child. Like an actual child. Why is a child piloting a Divine Beast?"

On that note, Teba often complained about being the oldest among the champions until Sidon mentioned he was technically over 100 years old.

Urbosa tried to teach young Sidon swear words, by Sidon is physically incapable of cursing

Teba had an emo phase as a teenager and no one will let him forget it, especially not Riju.

Zelda cannot fall asleep unless the conditions are absolutely perfect, but Link literally just passes out anywhere.

Riju is the epitome of Gen Z humor.

Yunobo likes fluffy romance novels and cries every time.

Link's pretty short so whenever he can't see anything he stands of Daruk's shoulders.

Revali used to brag about having the best aim until he got into a shooting competition with Mipha and she absolutely smoked him.

Robbie and Purrah have an extensive secret handshake that takes about 5-10 minutes to do. The more annoyed people act, the longer they take.

Daruk pats people on the back to congratulate them but most of the time ends up knocking them over.

Zelda hand sewed all the champion garmets.

Sidon will take and all opportunities to hug someone and no you can't stop him.

Mipha will literally cry if she is shown the tiniest bit of affection from an animal.

Link has absolutely no sense of self preservation and will gladly jump off a cliff for 5 rupees. Honestly, he's probably do it for free.

Revali uses fancy dramatic words but most of the time he doesn't even know what they mean.

[askthenewritoelder]

With all due respect, Master Revali, I must say I’m extremely disappointed in you. Link has and continues to be a great role model for Tulin. We may not have known him for as long as your legacy has existed, yet he’s left such an impact on us, on me especially, to treat him as part of our family. There are qualities beyond physical strength that a warrior should embody, namely compassion and humility; things you have much to improve on yourself.

I’ve been quiet for a while after witnessing your struggles firsthand. I know you continue to fight battles to this day. As a leader, I see the boundless love you have for our home, and….the potential for a relationship with Link beyond comrades.

However, I won’t tolerate any ill remarks directed towards Link, not after everything he’s done for myself and Rito Village. I suggest you do something with that attitude of yours if you intend to court Link properly.

And @tulin-sageofwind…what’s a fortnite?

There seems to have been a mistake. Your right Revali, you aren't Tulin's brother, or a brother figure to him. Link is. This might come as a surprise to you, but Link has played a very active role in Tulin's life. Don't take my word for it, just ask Teba.

@askthenewritoelder Tell this fool that I am a far more afluential and important part of your sons life than Link is! That pretty little dunce of a knight only showed up in your life not that long ago whereas I have been present in stories guiding his future since he was in the egg! It's hardly like Link can help the boy better understand the art of the wind! I have gallantly taken him under my wing since my fateful return!

Actually, @tulin-sageofwind, you tell them! Tell this know-it-all that am far superior than Link and I'll get you that 'fortnight battle pass' thing you keep begging your mother for, and I'll teach you to do a 'sick' blindfolded headshot with your bow that will get you any girl you want. How's that for a brother-esq example?
