#skyview tower

[proxycrit]

Linktober Day 14, akkala skyview tower!

Part of the duo’s jobs as Purah’s interns are to help with the remapping project of Hyrule after the Upheaval. Link’s the only little man sturdy enough to WANT to be flung out of a modified human canon attached to a cable, I think. (Introducing part of the research team! We have Jerrin, a hylian-sheikah researcher; bilson, a rito bolson employee; and truckson, a tarry town goron.)

Want to see more of my TOTK AU where zelda doesnt go back in time? Check out this master post:

And my patreon if you wanna drop like two dollars for my sketchbook :0

SPEAKING OF THE DIVINE BEASTS WHERE ARE THEY 😭😭😭😭😭😭

my theory is that purah dismantled them and is now using their residual parts to secretly build an eva underneath lookout landing

Hey Nintendo if the Skyview towers were just built, why did you reuse the "overgrown with thorns" challenge from that one tower in botw TWICE

[toyherb]

while I think the story and game design of totk is really strong, I feel like the game lacks the sense of wonder that was in botw. it doesn't help that totk barely recognizes botw despite being a sequel. botw did happen and people will say as much, but many less prominent NPCs have forgotten Link and all of the physical evidence has disappeared or disposed of. No one mentions any of the champions except for Mipha. It's like a part of us, those who played botw, and in a way, Link, has also been buried. Just like the champions. The divine beasts. The sheikah. The gaurdians.

Maybe just like how they emerged from the ground, all the towers and shrines and divine beasts have sunken into the ground again. But no one acknowledges it, and the gaurdians themselves have disappeared. I miss the music and excitement that came from seeing one.

The zonai aren't nearly as mysterious and strange as the old Sheikah shrines. We know who Rauru and Sonia are. We understand that zonai devices are powered by zonaite. But the sheikah technology, the blue flames, its all gone up in smoke.

I dunno. it feels like I'm looking into a foggy mirror reflecting botw back at me. it's missing pieces that would make it whole. Walking around Hyrule, I feel like I keep seeing ghosts.

didn’t get many photos i liked last night but really i should just focus on playing the game 😂 i like the trill of music that plays when you get out of the pond and the game announces you’re back in Hyrule 🎶

you mentioning the weird change to the shrine of ressurection made me realize that i dont think ive seen a single guardian in my playthrough so far. like not even broken down ones

yeah they're completely absent. not even purah or robbie have them at their labs for like research purposes or whatever (i'm pretty sure i haven't seen them there at least)

the guardians were both excavated by the sheikah research institution, and they emerged from the sheikah pillars surrounding hyrule castle. now, we can assume that after serving their purpose, the guardians returned to the pillars, which then descended back into the ground. maybe even with the help of the sheikah slate, not just by themselves

speaking of the sheikah slate... as creating a champion states, the sheikah slate may have been discovered in the shrine of resurrection. considering it had a pedestal just for the slate, that may have been its rightful location. so i assume that zelda, for whatever reason (despite this ancient sheikah technology being super advanced and therefore useful...) returned it there. which may have deactivated everything else (the towers, the shrines, the guardians)

all of the above being gone. sure. i can understand. even though i hate that it's all kind of swept under the rug (i've only played the game for 60 hours, maybe they'll be mentioned, maybe i've missed some dialogue, who knows). but the shrine of resurrection... it's actually a part of a 5th divine beast (if you can even call it that). it was not only a medical facility for the hero, but a training one for the champions. there was no way for it to disappear or be excavated (would've ruined that particular area of the great plateau completely). and why would it need to be gone? it was created for the hero to heal his wounds. THE hero, the one that's supposed to defeat the evil forces and end the war. what if link of today, or link of the far future, were to suffer such great injuries he would need to be healed by that exact facility? it makes NO sense for it to be gone. it had a purpose, one that would've lasted another 10 000 years

not to mention the divine beasts... they're large constructions. they didn't have a storage unit to return to like the guardians, they didn't emerge from the ground like the towers and the shrines. they were excavated from the ground. just like that. what the hell happened to them? where did they put them? was there some kind of ancient sheikah parking lot that they were moved to? what's even the point of getting rid of them? again, it's highly advanced and useful technology against any threat that's always lurking around the corner. WHY DISPOSE OF THEM?

Nothing too super-special in this stream, but as you can hear, I'm trying to set up a co-op stream with someone. Could end up being a disaster for several reasons, but I'm willing to try.

So there will be an out-of-the-ordinary stream of It Takes Two on Saturday afternoon at 1 PM Central. Hopefully, anyway. We'll see how it goes.

One word of warning: I only have one regular viewer so far, and we got to talking about their illnesses and my experiences with illness. There is some mention of bleeding during that part. Viewer discretion is advised.

Okay, no, for real, where has all the Sheikah tech gone? The towers are gone, the shrines are gone, it’s all just vanished. And like, I get it, you need that so the gameworld isn’t cluttered, but like... Really? Nowhere?
