Echoes of Wisdom Headcanon Countdown

༺ Day 46▪︎ 53 Left

The reason New Hyrule's stained glass depicts a young Tetra is because Anjean requested its construction a long time ago, and she wished for it to depict the young pirate who was first tasked with building a new kingdom. She wanted to remind Tetra of her true identity - not Princess Zelda. From what she had been told by the Hero of Winds, she believed the late King Daphnes had a similar change of heart in his final moments. (Even if Tetra wasn't so certain...)

spirit tracks is a really cool game

this was drawn to be the top screen of a custom 3ds theme - if you've homebrewed you 3ds, you can download and use the theme here.

Made in 2023

If you've seen this anywhere else, I posted it back on my deviantArt when it was made.

Did Anjean ever even meet the Hero of Winds? She’ll talk Zelda’s ear off about how she was friends with Tetra, but doesn’t even mention knowing someone who looked and dressed the exact same as Link.

[starlight-banisher]

Why is the animation in this actually good

Oh I forgot to mention I’m an engineer now don’t need to go to any more college

Spirit tracks uses human instead of Hylian or Hyrulian. Interesting.

Link got YEETED

ZELDA RUN

HIGH POLY LINK CUTSCENE MODEL???? HE HAS FINGERS???

TETRA REFERENCE. Anjean I see why you two were friends.

I appreciate Zelda’s commitment to freaking out for like 10 seconds and then IMMEDIETLY being down for business

“I will wait here. It’s kinda a family tradition” is a good line. Because it points out how the King made tetra wait in Hyrule during Wind Waker, and the next line is Anjean immediately being like “No girl you have to go with him and help”

Is Anjean communicating telepathically with us on the floor above her, or is she just using the intercom (yelling loudly)? We may never know

Zelda is having insane mood swings at basically every plot point but she’s also like 12 so I forgive her.

PHANTOM ZELDA HAVING TO HUNCH TO GET THROUGH THE DOORS.

Given the Zelda series’s track record with incorrect stringed instruments I’m so excited to see Gage’s cello

Ok actually it’s not that bad surprisingly. My main complaint is he’s holding it like a bass and not a cello. I think that might be bc the models don’t really have elbows.

You can’t play Zelda’s lullaby on the spirit flute :(

PLAY THE FUNKY BEATS LINK. (Song of awakening)

Ok so turns out I was supposed to stop at the town first but instead I made it through the most woods entirely on luck on my second try??

The overworld train music is a banger, and it changes slightly as the train speeds up. Also it syncs up with the chugging of the train which is a nice touch

I think my version of the game is a little broken because it’s not showing the colored orbs on the rocket ship stones where you learn the songs, but I can usually get them by ear ok so it hasn’t been an issue yet

Wait why are the Anuki in ST decended from the Anuki in PH. They were part of the ocean king’s world, so wouldn’t they have had to stay there?? The one I’m talking to says they got kicked off their island encased in ice, which is from PH. Unless there’s a whole other island of Anuki somewhere on the Great Sea.

Nintendo is so cruel they’re making me kill the wolves bc they’re attacking me a lot but they’re so cute :(

Evil snowmen????

ALRIGHT SPIRIT TRACKS PLAYTHROUGH MASTER POST

HOLY CRAP THE MENUS LOOK SO SMOOTH

and the intro cutscene runs smoother than on phantom hourglass as well

NIKO

The framed render of Niko on the back wall is killing me

LINK IS JUST A SILLY LITTLE GUY HES SO EEPY

Ack bees

Whoops accidentally got into a train crash anyways

I feel like I should add here that I’m in school to be a mechanical engineer

This is like Majora’s Mask level of reusing every single NPC from the previous game and pretending they’re different people.

I’m saying that because JOLENE

“We changed our policy and don’t read your mail out loud anymore. Some people complained it was an invasion of privacy”

ZELDY!!!

The models don’t have fingers in this game, but I’d like to imagine Zelda just flipped Cole for being needlessly nit picky at Link.

They went all in on the pan flute for this game.

The segments with Zelda are so cute.

LINK DOES THE ANIME BIKE SLIDE WITH A TRAIN

[skyward-floored]

I’m thinking about how Anjean and Tetra were besties and how nobody ever talks about it

[spirit-tracks]

I NOTICED A DISAPPOINTING LACK OF SPIRIT TRACKS VINES SO I MADE THEM MYSELF

Happy 35th Zelda anniversary ♡♡

[bobthebobking]

HOLDING HANDS. IM GONNA SOB

[sunfloo-wers]

OOOOOOHHHHH YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Oh yeah! I know Anjean, she’s awesome! (I learned about her when I was character planning for the Gandpa Adventures/King’s Meet au thing, cause she was the closest thing ST had according to google, her character design is SO GOOD)

ooooooh fun!

Gxgkchztshdhlvx You can’t hide this in the tags, thats awesome

Au where Spirit joins the chain but Phantom also comes with bc of how much she contributed to his adventure

[twitterdotloz]

real quick befofe i slwep but HAPY BIRTHDAY SPIRIT TRACKS I OWE U MY LIFE XPXOXO

[stupidzeldaaus]

Modern ST AU where everything else is the same except Link is a pilot.

Unfortunately there is no Spirit Plane, and he must speedrun learning how to drive the Spirit Train under Anjeans guidance.

[thunderpetal]

MAN.

Again, I love how this ending is so similar to Wind Waker. In WW, the King entrusts Link and Tetra with discovering New Hyrule, and in ST, Anjean tells them to keep taking care of it.

And then Zelda thanks Anjean, and it just reminded me so much of Daphnes’s farewell.

Also. The fact Zelda and Link hold hands as they watch the Lokomo’s spirits go is just...😭 I thought they held hands before the final boss to encourage each other, but NO, this is so much more emotional.

The Adult Timeline is my absolute fav, and this has just cemented it.

[stupidzeldaaus]

ST AU where Zelda gets her phantom armor from Anjean much earlier. While the Tower of Spirits is Link and Zelda Co-op...

The rest of the temples are Link V.S. Zelda. Whomever gets to the boss key first gets bragging rights.

Character headcanons: Niko, ST!Link, ST!Zelda?

TY FOR THE ASK!! niko HCs here. This is gonna get super long so it'll be a read-more

Spirit Tracks Link:

Realistic HC: He has brachydactyly type d :] His in-game model and official art have really small thumbs so it's just canon to me now. That one's short (ba dum tss) so another HC I have about him is that he's really empathetic toward animals. He doesn't hurt bees when they're chasing him. When possible, he blows the train whistle for moinks/bullbos if they're on the tracks instead of using his cannon. He loves findols, but worries about whistling his train around them too much. Even with scarier animals like wolfos or keese etc, he'd rather just avoid them instead of going out of his way to hurt them.

WAIT another HC I wanna mention. He absolutely mimics Niko sometimes with pirate slang & accents. He and Zelda will be messing around being goofs n he'll jokingly call her like. Idek a filthy sack of seahat spawn in a pirate accent and everything will just Freeze n she's like "Link what the fuck?"

Not realistic, but hilarious HC: ST Link cannot read regular maps that don’t have railways marked on them. His whole career and life revolves around the train tracks, so if he suddenly had to use a map with Just natural landmarks he. wouldn’t survive. He would probably draw out all the spirit tracks from memory onto it just so he could use it properly. And if its a map for an area outside of the tracks’ reach? There’s no hope for him. Sorry buddy!

Heart-crushing HC: Link never wanted to fight, never wanted to learn to wield a sword- all he ever wanted was to serve the people of New Hyrule with his train. He doesn't usually carry a sword or shield around in every day life, he keeps them locked away on his train just in case of emergencies. Also, after realizing Link doesn't have the Lokomo Sword in the ST credits, maybe he didn't have the heart to keep it. Anjean told him in her last moments to help Zelda protect New Hyrule, but how could he? He'd never wanted that. Was he supposed to just carry around that sword, phantom sensations of steel forcing its way through bone sending shivers down his back? A constant reminder of Zelda's shaking fingers desperately gripping the hilt with him, a reminder that there was no way in hell that he could have ever beaten Malladus on his own? I think he took the sword back to the tower and locked it up on the top floor where no one but the wielder of the Bow of Light could get to it. He'll do just fine with the standard recruit's sword, thanks.

Unrealistic, but fuck canon: ST Link thinks kids are so cool. He wants to hang out and have that big brother energy so badly, but he cannot for the life of him figure out how to talk to them. Any time he tries, kids either get mad at him or prank him. Link gets pranked so much by the kids in Aboda. They're ruthless. He's probably been talked into rolling into that beehive tree a dozen times just because he wants them to think he's cool. He wants to be their friend so badly. He's too nice and every child he meets sees it as a sign of weakness.

Spirit Tracks Zelda (ive posted about some of this before but oh WELL):

Realistic HC: She’s very physically affectionate. She loves hugs and holding hands and high fives and bumping shoulders and and and. Post-canon Zelda is like a whole different person compared to before Malladus. Zelda never realized how much she held herself back around Chancellor Cole. Once she’s got her body back she’s never letting the chances pass her by with the people she cares about. She probably gave her teacher a bone-crushing hug when she saw him again in Castle Town.

Not realistic, but hilarious HC: Post-canon she has like an adjustment period like astronauts do where she’s not used to being a solid person with gravity and everything. She’ll go to do a little floaty sitting pose n just fall on the floor. She’ll try to go through a doorway a little too far to the left expecting to pass through the door jambs an just ram her shoulder right into it. She’ll shoulder-check Link while rushing past him and he has to take a solid 5 minutes just to breathe through the pain while she’s worriedly asking how she can help and how sorry she is oh Spirits Link it was an accident!!

Heart-crushing HC: She frequently experiences depersonalization. Having her soul ripped from her body, and then hopping in and out of various suits of armor before getting her body back left her feeling detached. She’ll have moments where her body feels a bit fuzzy, like its not actually hers. Like she’s still a ghost watching someone else puppet her body around. She’ll feel like she’s as tall and big as a phantom again and have trouble reconciling that sensation with the small body she actually has control of. She never brings it up, but Link is always the first person to notice the difference when she’s having an episode and he tries to help however he can.

Unrealistic, but fuck canon: Zelda trains to fight with a sword. She learns to fight without one. She perfects her skill with a bow and arrow. She becomes a fighter so she won’t be helpless ever again. Nintendo would never do it n that’s the only reason its unrealistic. She works and trains and exercises as often as she can in order to have as much control over her body as possible. The strain and exhaustion that comes from training helps her feel grounded and she loves being able to help Link with the occasional monster problem since she knows it’s not really his thing.

[thunderpetal]

Ok so this line made me fucking cry, LIKE DAMN??? It isn’t the first mention Tetra’s gotten (and it isn’t the last) but the fact that Tetra WOULD be proud of ST Zelda... Anjean is absolutely right
