#sand seal shield surfing

[kingsdoodles]

The thing about being at least being slightly more comfortable doing storyboards now is all I want to do is board things out that are beyond my current skill set.

Got this idea rolling in my head for my good gan au where gan and link meet first during a molduga fight, and just the tag teaming compatibility of that. I know my brain can’t process action too much yet to get it to look good.

The Final Promise₊˚✩⊹

Chapter 10

Linked Universe x reader

Warnings: Angst, tension, violence

₊˚✩⊹

Wars knew you were special, after all you were the one person in the group who wasn’t Hylian, much less some prophetic hero. But he knew you were more, your visual differences were just the top layer of your peculiarity.

At first, he was very wary of you and your presence. The hours spent examining you and talking to Time about your situation left him lost and frustrated beyond relief. You were strange, and he didn’t like it. He wanted to be nice, of course, he understood the fear and uncertainty you were feeling about the group, as he reciprocated the same feeling toward you: uncertainty and distrust. 

Initially, he was hoping that you’d find your way home after a few weeks or months, brushing it off as another lost soul needing guidance and a hero’s promise. But that goal didn’t last long as it was over a year, bordering a year and a half and so much had happened. He felt like… the group wasn’t complete without you, as much as he hated to admit that.

You made the journey feel less depressing and burdensome. Every day was new and undiscovered with you, whether it be a new piece of your own life uncovered to them or a new joke you used, he was in awe.

…

He needed to tell you how he felt, and he wanted to as soon as you left the inn, giving himself an excuse to follow because you might be in danger. When he saw the Vet being there, he stilled. This was not the plan.

He watched the entire scene go down, wincing at your sharp tone, hoping nobody else woke up from that. A person or two shuffled in their sleep, but no one work up. Next thing he saw was you on Legend’s lap, both of you lost in each other.

He should have been happy for you two, Hylia knows Vet needed someone for ages. She owed him something for all the shit he’s been through… but why did it have to be you? Sweet, kind, beautiful you?

And… didn’t you already have something going on with Time and/or Twilight? Even possibly Sky?

Was this a ruse? Surely you wouldn’t be the type, no, you were smarter than that. 

Right?

~

“And you’re sure this will work?” Time asked Wild.

Wild was readjusting his facial covering, sighing with annoyance, “For the last time, I’ve done this tens of times before. All I need from you and the rest of the group is to sit still at the Oasis while Y/n and I go talk to Riju in Gerudo Town. It’ll draw way too much attention if all of us come in, even if we got vai garb for you.”

“Right… how long do you think you both will take?”

“We should be back at the Oasis a little after sundown. We’ll take sand seals to get to the village, so the majority of the day will be spent talking to the Chief.”

Time nods, “Just be cautious, you never know who can pass the guards, even something as heavily guarded as Gerudo Town. I’d know.”

While Wild was talking to the old man, You were fastening your supplies onto your sash, going through your checklist of supplies.

You fidgeted with your necklace, tracing the Hylian insignia to calm you down. 

Why the hell were you so nervous?

“You’re nervous.” Four stated, eyeing your necklace. You hum.

“We’ll be right here the entire day, waiting for you. Just stick with the Champion and you’ll be fine.” You nod, seems simple enough to follow.

With a few waves and nods, you and Wild were off on your Sand Seals, being the most efficient and quick way to reach Gerudo Town.

The wind was refreshing, despite the sun beating its rays down upon you, as if it was trying to test your limits of heat. Wild was practically showing off, doing twists and hops, just laughing at his own antics. You’ve shield surfed before, but having the extra pull and momentum gave an extra edge to the thrill.

Wind would love this. You’d have to show him when you got back that night.

Before you knew it, you and Wild approached Gerudo Town, handing off the reigns to a merchant and heading towards the two guards stationed in front of the main entrance.

“What is your reason of being here?” she asked, voice deep.

Wild looked at you, reminding you that you were the main spokesperson for today.

“Ah- right. We have an appointment with Chief Riju?”

The two guards give each other a glance before letting you in, your shoulders releasing the tension the second you passed the threshold. 

Wild led you forward, pointing out a few stalls that you’d both check out later as he needed to restock on a few ingredients anyways. You saw a few jewelry and clothing stalls, and even a tattoo parlor that seemed brand new. You didn’t remember seeing it when you played through the game.

You felt Wild clasp your hand in his, leading you up the stairs to the throne room. You could hear a few voices talking, no doubt something related to your meeting.

“Ah! Link! There you are. And this must be your friend, Y/n. I’ve heard so much about you!” Riju exclaims, already making her way towards you.

You panicked, bowing to her, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Chief Riju.”

She waves her hands, “Oh please! There’s no need for such formalities, any friend of Link’s is a friend of mine. Please, just call me Riju.”

You stand up straight, nervously fumbling with your necklace again, a clear indicator that you were not the best at being social. How was Wild being so nonchalant? 

“We came for the… updates. You mentioned in your letter something about the desert ruins and possibly the Yiga Clan?”

Letter? Wild never mentioned a letter-

“Ah, yes! Follow me, I have some information in my study. I sent you the letter months ago, but there’s been some developments…” she trailed off, leading you both to her room.

You gave him a look. 

Why was everyone keeping things from you? First Legend now Wild…

What else do you not know?

“Like I was saying, we’ve found some old artifacts sticking out from the remains of the Arbiter’s Grounds. It doesn’t serve much purpose to us, but we thought you could take a look and see if its anything you might be booking for or might help.”

Riju handed Wild a flat object covered in a beige tarp. He untied the loose knot, uncovering the black slab of rock with familiar markings on it.

“That’s a piece of the Twilight Mirror. How…”

Riju looks at you, “Ah, so you do know what it is! I presumed it had something to do with the Twili tribe but I wasn’t sure. I should’ve known you would have found it familiar, after all you’re the hero’s guide.”

You hum, you were still getting used to the title. It didn’t sit right with you that people regarded you in such a high manner. It was unnatural, considering your background.

“Did you see any other possible artifacts or pieces of the mirror? The rest couldn’t have gone far.”

Riju sighs dejectedly, “No, unfortunately. The research team scouted out the ruins high and low and even dug under a few feet, but nothing came up. There were some markings on the old columns, but nothing noteworthy.”

She pauses for a moment before turning back to Link, “However, the Yiga Clan showed up halfway through the research, though not in a hostile manner. At least, not towards us. Toward Link, Y/n, and your group, rather. They mentioned something about hooded figures entering their hideout demanding your guide.”

Wild stiffens at that and turns to you, “Weren’t those the figures you were reading about?”

You nod. Shit, you left the book back at the Oasis. You always manage to forget something.

“Chie- Riju, did the Yiga mention anything about the hooded figures? Did they look peculiar or mention anything of importance?”

Riju thinks for a moment. 

“One of the Yiga members did mention they wore full-length black robes, and had masculine voices. They also said one threatened a clan member using Fae magic, though Fae magic is almost unheard of, at least in this time period. I can’t offer much information right now, as I didn’t directly talk to the member, but I can corroborate with one of my guards that went on the short expedition and write down notes to mail to you.”

“That would be really helpful, thank you Riju.” Link states.

“Do you mind if we hold onto this mirror shard? It's small enough for us to travel with and it might prove to be useful in our… travels.” There was no easy way to put interdimensional and time travel into casual conversation, but Riju got the meaning behind his words.

“Yes, of course. I suggest wrapping it up in a tarp or cloth as this material is very peculiar and we don’t know what it's capable of.”

Link rewrapped the mirror shard, storing it in his Sheikah Slate. You’d have to examine it later, maybe take a closer look at the hieroglyphics if you can.

“I’ll have the guards escort you out, as I have a few more meetings to get to with a few ambassadors from outside of the desert. It was wonderful meeting you, Y/n. I do hope we meet again soon,” she said with a smile. You thanked her, waving goodbye as you and Link made your way back to the main plaza.

“I’m gonna go stock up on a few things. You can go look around if you want, just don’t leave without me.”

You nod wordlessly, meandering about the main square as you examine all sorts of wares. You didn’t have the chance to get a ton of rupees in a while, so you were a bit tight on what you could get, but you bought a small ruby ring for a certain bunny, as a small thanks for being vulnerable with you. It was nothing compared to what you wanted to verbally express to him, but it was just a small symbol of trust and appreciation.

Stuffing the ring into your pouch, you keep walking around the town, munching on a piece of Hydromelon. It was in season, so the flavors were bursting on your tongue.

You made your way around a corner, finding it to be a dead end. You were about to turn around to make your way back to the main square before someone wrapped their hand around your mouth, cutting off your terrified scream. Before you had the chance to blink, paper fluttered in front of your eyes, masking your vision.

All that was left in your place were a few, red paper rectangles, signaling a Yiga clan member had trespassed Gerudo walls: an invasion.

~

The sun had set almost two hours ago and the chain was starting to get on edge.

“They’re taking too long.”

“They should’ve been here by now. Where are they?”

The younger members were starting to pick up on both of your absences, thoughts already assuming the worst. Wild was capable of handling his safety, but you? As much as they liked to think you’ve gotten experience and plenty of training from each of them, you could have been harassed, cornered, kidnapped, killed-

Everyone snapped their heads to the sound of violent panting, already knowing its Wild.

Wars ran up to him, gripping his arm to support Wild.

“Where is she, Wild. She should’ve been with you-”

“-They took her.”

Sand Seal Wipe Out

Hyrule looked down as he adjusted the harness around his waist, his eyes flicking nervously toward Wild. “Are you sure about this…?”

Wild let out a carefree laugh, patting Hyrule on the back as he clipped his harness to the leash of the sand seal in front of him. “Very sure! You’re going to love it,” he exclaimed confidently, sliding his boot into the strap of the shield he was using as a surfboard.

Hyrule quirked an eyebrow at Wild, looking apprehensive at best. Wild had that manic look in his eye he got before he tricked Hyrule into some dangerous (yet exhilarating) activity. He’d gone shield surfing once, but this wasn’t exactly the same thing. This time he was strapped to a beast that could swim through hot granules of rock hot enough to cause burns to the touch. One bad wipe out could turn out to be hell.

Despite his hesitance, he trusted Wild. He’d taken him on some amazing adventures, and no doubt this would be another one. Wild looked over at him, giving him a quick once-over to make sure he was clipped in right. “All set?” he asked, practically bouncing with excitement. Hyrule would be lying if he said it was anything other than infectious.

With a resigned sigh and a playful roll of his eyes, Hyrule stepped onto his shield. “Okay, I’m ready,” he said, bracing himself for what was to come.

Wild let out a loud whoop, and they were off. Hyrule let out a scream- terrified, at first, but quickly devolving into laughter. He held onto the rope attaching him to the sand seal, mostly for some sense of security as the beast pulled him along. He leaned to one side carefully, testing his ability to turn. He was still scared of wiping out, but he was starting to understand why Wild took him out on this ride.

Wild was having ten times more fun than Hyrule, and it showed. He had no apprehension or fear of sand surfing (or any other time, the Chain was convinced), so he had no reservations as he weaved through the sand, not bothering to hang on to the tether. Even if he overcorrected, Wild had taken enough sand to the face to know how to fall to minimize injuries. Sort of.

Hyrule was quick to let go of his initial nervousness. The longer the two raced through the Gerudo Desert the more comfortable he got on the shield. Soon enough he was zipping alongside Wild, laughing as the sun beat down on them, blindingly bright off the sand but so worth it. Wild had got him jewelry that would help resist the heat at least, but that didn’t help him when he nearly barreled straight into a Voltfruit Cactus. He yelped and overcorrected, getting flung off his shield and skidding through the sand.

“Rulie!” Wild yelled, quickly twisting on his own shield. He came up alongside him, pulling up in a way that allowed him to unclip his harness and jump off the shield, using the forward momentum to run up to his friend.

When he reached his friend’s side, he was surprised to see Rulie laying in the sand, laughing even as he sat up to shake sand from his hair. “I’m okay,” he said, waving his hand as Wild slid up beside him. “I might have a few scratches but I’m okay.”

Wild gave a relieved smile and held out his hand to help him up. “Good. You had me scared for a second. Eating sand can be pretty unpleasant,” he said, giving a little shudder of solidarity.

“Oh, it wasn’t pleasant. But I am okay,” he said, grinning and clapping a hand on Wild’s shoulder.

Wild chuckled and wrapped his arm around the Traveler. “I’m glad. Let’s get back to town, I’ll cook your favorite for dinner to get the taste of sand out of your mouth,” he laughed, ruffling Hyrule’s hand- causing the other to splutter as sand rained down into his face- including his mouth.

”You better throw some dessert onto that!” he said, sliding his foot back into the strap of his surf-shield.

”I would’ve thought you had enough of the desert!” Wild laughed, clipping himself back to his sand seal, letting out a whoop for it to take off as Hyrule let out a stream of threats and started chasing after him, the sun slowly setting behind them.

Botw/Totk headcanon: Sheikah NPCs beyond Kakariko

after impa being the Last of Her Kind for nearly 20 years, we were kind of spoiled with the era of wilds sheikah. still, kakariko is known for it's older population and botw makes a point to let us know paya isn't used to seeing people her age. this post is about asking 'where are they?' and filling in the gaps. being a peaceful farming village it makes sense the younger gens would want to leave as soon as they can for some adventure.

sheikah typically have hair on the grey-to-white scale (granté proves this isn't a requirement), and unlike the past games they have a greater diversity in eye colour. below is a list of hylian npcs that look too young to have greying hair that i hc are either from kakariko, or have some sheikah ancestry.

from left to right: lecia, letty, mina, her brother mils by proxy, teli, juney, and baumar. i'll go into more detail about each under the cut, comparing them from the 2 games alongside some more headcanons. some of them i haven't found in totk yet, so i'll edit when i do.

pic on the left side is them in botw, totk on the right.

Mina is a treasure hunter looking for loot with her brother by the exchange ruins outside the great plateau. the siblings also show up in the dlc. they're trying to steal a sheikah heirloom back from the yiga hideout, though they don't know it's purpose - they just wanna sell it. in totk she walks on the path between lakeside stable and lurelin. she says that even treasure hunters deserve some fun once in a while, so we can assume she's takin' it easy. Mils, meanwhile...

...joined the zonai survey team, and moans about what tough work it is. he walks through pagos woods to the zonai ruins. he joined in the hopes it would lead him to treasure, but he hasn't had his lucky break yet. most hylians travel from stable to inn and can be assumed not to have a proper home due to the lasting effects of the calamity. this is my bias but i like to think he's talking about kakariko when he mentions home. let him grow some pumpkins and wrangle cuccos. he wishes to live a quiet life.

i find it sweet him and mina are both in faron. maybe they decided to split up and cover more ground? with mina off sunbathing and sipping mimosas in lurelin, mils got the short end of the stick again.

Baumar:

'i hope you die': lazy, cliché, unrealistic. 'i hope your favourite botw npc gets mushroomed and bowlcutted': it's scary, it's possible, it's happening to me right now. such was the fate of our poor resident shield-surfer bro from botw. known for many hit quotes such as 'let's go bamboo! yahoo!', 'shield surfing is like, totally radical, dude', and my favourite:

in botw he rides his horse on the path between serenne and snowfield stable. in totk he's part of the fashion tour-group that run around hateno village. maybe he went to hebra to show his 'wicked' surfing moves to selmie and she said 'kid, if i let you out on the slopes you'll die. sorry'. his world was completely shattered beneath him like a broken shield, so he turned to cravats and puffy short shorts to cope.

his name is similar to the hills of baumer above deya village ruins. maybe he's a descendent of the few survivors. i wonder what his ancestors are thinking now, watching what he does with the gift of life.

Teli walks between fort hateno and hateno village. He sells ancient guardian parts and even mentions he trades them with Robbie. he has a high opinion of himself and tells you he's known across hyrule for his 'roguish good looks.' in totk he's one of the men in the 'Gourmets gone missing' Penn quest that gave himself food-poisoning by riverside stable. after which he scares away some cuccos and makes you wrangle them for a sidequest. just L after L for this dashing rogue.

Juney, now famous for her rupee grinding sand seal minigame, i instantly recognised as the epic divorce woman from rito village. her attitude is just as surly as ever but they gave her a soft side. i like that every minigame location could not be further from hateno. you'll find that school someday queen.

she was a newly wed mad at her husband, jogo, for choosing a cold place for their honeymoon. he begs you to give him flint to cook some baked apples for her to save their already failing marriage.

in totk they're not together, jogo inhabits a cabin in tabantha village ruins with another woman. he didn't give her enough baked apples.

Letty walks along the path between lakeside stable and lurelin. she gives you cooking tips and that's pretty much it. In totk, she and a friend are investigating the ring ruins in Kakariko together.

Lecia is a new character in totk. she's with the research team and plays a part in the foothill stable Penn quest, the one with all the men in underpants. she kind of looks like a grown up Koko. maybe a distant relative? but maybe she's not sheikah. maybe the sight of all those pasty naked men traumatised her so bad she got marie-antoinette syndrome from the shock. i haven't seen her since.

thank you if you read to the end. to clarify i'm working on some fic stuff and that entails finding npcs across the overworld to give some more lore. it's a sheikah focused fic so i needed some characters other than the kakariko residents. it's also just fun fleshing out random npcs to make the world feel more lived in. again, i'm missing some details like what mina does before you save lurelin, so i'll edit this post in the future.

Riju and Hylian reader (platonic) telling Riju that they are nb or doesn’t mind any pronouns.

Would you ever do one with Zelda? Mainly botw/totk?

Still Not A Voe

Tags: 524 words, non-binary!reader, afab!reader, coming out

You were out shopping, out in public. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea but there were only two other people in the room, the store wonder and Buliara.

You were looking at shields with Riju. This was your first time being able to make it in time for the annual seal surfing tournament and Riju was determined to at least make you ride one. As such, she also was determined to find you the perfect shield.

“It’s easier for beginners to use a rectangular type shield,” Riju said as she looked over all the shields with a critical eye. “The size depends on the size of the rider. The bigger you are the more sturdy the shield needs to be but it’s recommended for you to have a sturdy shield regardless. The last thing we want to happen is for it to break while you’re on it.”

She placed her hand to her chin, her finger tapping just below her lip. She was deep in thought. You didn’t think you’d be entirely wrong if you said she was taking this more seriously than her decisions she made as chief (not that those weren’t taken seriously, because they absolutely were). It was flattering, how much care she was placing into this.

Maybe that’s what spurred you to say, “I have to tell you something.”

Riju turned to look at you with a slightly raised brow, “Is it that you can’t do this because you’re allergic to sand? We’ve already discussed this, I’m pretty sure that’s not a thing and besides you have made the trek here and—“

“No, I just,” you tilted your head back with a noise of frustration. “I— Hylia, why is this so hard?”

“Hey,” she said, placing a hand on your arm, “breathe. Whatever it is, it’s okay.”

You watched as she did an over exaggerated breath and copied her. Her hand rubbed up and down your arm.

It was fine. It’d be fine. Nothing would have to change, would it? You’d still be allowed in the city, right? Or would you? Only vai were allowed. Telling her this would be telling her you weren’t a vai and if you weren’t a vai you wouldn’t be allowed in the city and if you weren’t allowed in the city you wouldn’t be able to see her and oh Hylia! This is why it was so hard.

“Do you want to sit down?” she asked.

“I’m non-binary,” you finally blurred out.

She looked at you for a moment. “That’s still not getting you out of seal surfing,” she said. She then turned to a shield and tapped it, “What about this one?”

“So you’re not mad?”

“Why would I be?”

“I can still stay in Gerudo Town?”

“That doesn’t make you a voe, does it?” she asked.

“No.”

“Then yes, of course you can stay. Now, back to my question, what about this one?” She took it off the hook that kept it on the wall. “It’s very sturdy and it doesn’t have any grooves or designs on it so it’s less likely to get caught on things, makes it a smoother ride.”

[what-even-is-thiss]

You can steal one and put it on your shield. Making a sand seal shield. You can also seal the deal with the sand seal rental place to ride a sand seal while surfing on your sand seal shield with a sand seal.

I’m aware that there’s issues with the way the Gerudo are handled in Zelda games in general but I just think they’re so cool.

Riju from botw and totk is such a cool character. She’s so cool. If I was a preteen when these games came out she definitely would’ve been my role model as a kid. Love her. I also love her big stuffed animal sand seals.

Riding the Waves: Skin Care Tips for Wing Foiling Enthusiasts

Wing foiling, the exhilarating sport that combines elements of windsurfing and kiteboarding, has been taking the water sports world by storm. As you soar over the waves and harness the wind's power to propel yourself forward, it's essential to have the right gear and technique. 

But have you considered the impact of foiling on your skin? The sun, saltwater, and wind can take a toll on your skin, so it's crucial to incorporate a skincare routine into your foiling adventures. In this blog, we'll explore some essential skincare tips to keep your skin healthy and glowing while enjoying the thrill of using wing foiling gear.

Sunscreen is your wing foiling wingman

Sun protection should be your top priority when foiling. The sun's UV rays are powerful, and when you're out on the water, your skin is exposed to them directly. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF rating to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. 

Don't forget to apply it generously to all exposed areas of your body, including your face, neck, arms, and legs. Reapply sunscreen every couple of hours, especially if you're spending an extended period on the water.

Cover up with appropriate clothing

The urge to get a tan and the necessity to keep your skin healthy requires that you strike a delicate balance. Think about donning some lightweight UPF rash guards and long leggings. These garments shield you from the sun while allowing you to feel at ease.

Keep your body and mind hydrated

If you're foiling on a hot, sunny day, you're going to sweat. Drinking enough water before, during, and after your workout will help you maintain your fluid levels and prevent you from dehydrating. 

After foiling, moisturizing can help reverse the drying effects of the sun and wind. Choose a high-quality moisturizing cream to preserve your skin's youthful suppleness. Also, it will help you rejuvenate your dead skin. 

Keep your lips safe

Sunburn and windburn are especially painful for your lips. If you want to keep your lips soft and protected from the sun, you should get a high-quality lip balm that contains sunscreen. Apply lip balm as often as necessary during wing foiling.

Skin care after foiling

Similarly to your wing surfing gear, your body also needs post-foiling care. Hence, it is crucial to take good care of your skin after enjoying the tiring sport of foiling. To avoid skin irritation, it is recommended to rinse off sand with clean water. 

To wash away any remaining grime, try using a mild, moisturizing cleanser or a delicate face and body wash. Applying a moisturizer after cleansing will help seal in moisture and speed up the skin's recuperation process.

Keep an eye out for windburn

When the wing foils, you risk getting windburn from the harsh air pressure across your face. Applying a wind-blocking balm or lotion to your face can help protect it from windburn. Extra defense can be offered by donning a broad-brimmed hat or a gauntlet-style neck covering.

Hydrate and exfoliate consistently 

Dry, flaky skin can develop from prolonged exposure to sea and sunlight. Exfoliation should be a frequent part of your skincare routine if you want to keep your skin good. By scrubbing away dead skin with a mild exfoliant, you can improve the absorption of your moisturizer. 

Apply a mask or serum rich in moisture to your skin after that to restore the moisture level. Make adjustments to your skincare routine and sun protection if you see any odd changes, such as persistent redness, irritation, or indications of sunburn. 

Conclusion

It's easier to prevent skin damage than to treat it after the fact, so it's important to take precautions. Wing foiling is an amazing water sport that brings you closer to nature while giving you the rush of riding the waves. 

However, skin care must be a top priority if you want your skin to stay healthy and beautiful. According to these skin care guidelines, you can experience the thrill of foiling without risking damage to your skin. Get wet, buy a wing foil for sale, and feel the rush of riding the waves!

Linkle is riding her a shield with a sand seal!. She is doing front flips, back flips, and spins off dunes. In another world, some might say she is totally ripping it up!

Urbosa is both surprised and impressed by the hylian girl's ability to skillfully shield surf with a Sand Seal. Perhaps she should have a race with Linkle? It would be a nice distraction from her usual duties as chief.

Teba hc: he gives Riju rides whenever she comes to visit. She tries to teach him to seal sled one time, but it doesn't go very well.

Teba giving dad rides to his surrogate children gives me life bless you.

Dune smiled softly, biting his lip as he squeezed her hand in his. He leaned over, gingerly tugging her into a soft and loving kiss as he caressed her cheek in his hand. He held her lips for several seconds before pulling back, smiling softly at her as he nodded.

"Yes. Let's.... I hope you remember how to surf with a sand seal..." He smiled softly, leading Willow back out to the front of his home and nodding at the beast of a stallion, the massive horse nodding back as if in recognition. Dune smiled softly at his lover, handing her a spare Knight's Shield he kept by the door before tapping a large sandstone boulder in what could generously be called his front yard.

"I'm sure you remember the last time we went sand seal surfing, my dear?"

Dune winced slightly, turning his head away from the rising sun. He hissed softly, his sleep-addled brain struggling to come up with a reason as to why he couldn't raise his arms nor sit up without some currently unknown weight keeping him down. It was only when he felt a familiar and soft breath against his chest that he finally snapped back to reality and remembered where and when he was.

Faron Region's Lakeside Inn, on the balcony of the honeymoon suite, having spent the night with his beloved light mage and fiancée Willow snoozing peacefully on top of him. He only hoped his sudden movements hadn't roused his beloved from sleep...

Was the Gerudo Desert once an ocean?

This vestige from the past certainly suggests so.

As they shield surfed with some Sand Seals, they waited for a good opportunity to launch some Bomb Arrows at the feet of Vah Naboris

"It's working guys, keep it up!" Shantae said

“I think we can even make it on foot, let’s find a place to let our horses rest.”
