#starting w/ kakariko lmao

[thegeminisage]

back at it in zelda. about to fight an obsidian frox which actually i think is the first one i ever ran into, back when i dropped into this chasm and got jumpscared by it and dinraal at the same time lol. this is my first obsidian frox fight so idk what to expect. i hope it's not too much harder...

oh that was totally fine actually. cool

i dont like the depths as much at night. like theyre not Scary scary but it's late and the effect is enough to make me a bit tense

found the tarrey mine! on accident mostly. i was aiming for it, but i got distracted by poes, but it was fine bc the poes led me here. so i was going the wrong way lmao

NICE i got a CANNON schema stone

irony of ironies that i have like 600 arrows and im running out of bows lol

ok, i did the rist mine? which is under the big sand spiral. HORRIBLE. so many of those little jumping guys that are too hard to catch.

decided i hate it down here. i gotta get outta here lol. like, i came down here w nearly 700 arrows and now i have like 575 or something, i gotta LEAVE.

first though. i have to spend as much of my zonaite as i can. i HATE that i cant just do this at one store lol

oh hey i was jumping from mine to mine to buy crystalized charges and i found a guy who hadnt given me a schema stone yet! and i remember visiting the kakariko mine AGES back and wondering what it was he had to give me lol. full circle at last

ok, that was my last stop. i have more zonaite but there's nowhere else to spend it. i have 600 crystalized charges though!!! batteryyyy

i have 6 and 2/3 of a battery now!!! almost halfway........

okay, i have to SLEEP ugh. tomorrow i need to start hustling on my shrines and then maybe finish off the fifth sage thing if i have time. but that'll be ALL the story until i'm ready for the end AAAUGH

under one hand, i REALLY want to play pikmin 4 with everyone else, and i know that once i do totk will take a backseat. so i wanna finish totk before then, like 100%

under the other...that's only 2 weeks from now. even if i get all my korok seeds and do all my sidequests, and that's a big if, there's no way i'll be able to grind for my armor mats too, and 100% means 100%.

so i'll either have to pause playing this game while i do pikmin, or just not do pikmin. tragic.

either way, i think i definitely wanna beat the story for the first time before then, and i at LEAST wanna do all the shrines before that, and maybe also finish that quest where you beat up master kohga. it seems so scary! only two weeks from now and i'll have finished totk!!! it can't be so close to being over already bc once it is the long, long, LONG wait for The Next Zelda begins..............i feel like this game JUST fucking came out but it's been almost 2 months................................

like, i'm still gonna have my sidequests and korok seeds and armor upgrading and the depths to explore but geez.

the craziest part is im at 170 hours and i feel like koroks alone are gonna take another 30, 40, 50? not to mention the depths, the armor grinding, the sidequests, the minigames...like there's no way i don't hit 250 by the time it's all over. i can't do that in two weeks. but i also worry if i put it down i won't pick it back up again

ANYWAY. sleep now, overthink videogames tomorrow <3

[perereiii]

more! creativity! about my boy! basically just the adventures leading up to lu

adventure 1

ganondorf curses the land into darkness with the Triforce after the 7 wise men try to seal him, basically turning the world into a dark world x twilight realm

link travels to the sacred realm using the master sword after being informed by the sheikah elder Impa of his namesake and what a vision from the princess with the blood of the goddess depicted

dungeon dungeon dungeon in the sacred realm to update+ the master sword so she isn't breaking every 19 min now he can access the sky! His loftwing has been waiting a hot minute

another 7 dungeons to free the sages yay

there's a fuck ton of enemies bc of the darkness too so he gets rid of that by clearing the dungeon which house a fraction of ganondorfs evil (that's how he trapped the sages)

Ganonpork gets sealed partly in the master sword and partly in the sacred realm to stop him from every regained his true power bc that will surely work

master sword gets laid to rest for the time being but link misses his funky little sword so he gets one made by the gorons that's similar to a great sword used by an old hero but also looks kinda like is old friend

also: he starts in hateno! my boy is hateno born and has gone to kakariko a lot :]

no guardian field btw we don't need trauma

adventure 2

shad man and vaati guy are working together

twink man follows a shadow that looks suspiciously like him into a hole and his balance is terrible so he slips and falls

linkus ends up in a parallel world that seems too kind and pretty. turns out there's some disney tower thingy that after 3 chimes of a corrupted magic bell the world will fall into a never ending darkness. It chimes once every morning at 6 am

linky meets the minish! he also finds a funky sword that makes 3 translucent copies of himself all in different colours (red blue vio)

The minish direct him to a shrine with a cool looking not suspicious ocarina that happens to be coloured dark blue and is once again haphazardly shoved in the direction of the great faeiry of time who teaches him a weird song that really messed up time a bit. also does some mask collecting but only for the kids back at hateno he swears

4 dungeons +1 where shad pulls a ghirahim and does a little dance and a little murder against link but no one dies so it's good

vaati is a backstabbing bastard and uses shad. very rude imo

vaati is defeated again and sealed in the four sword again and the world is saved again

link finds his way out somehow and desperately tries to avoid adventure <3 good luck buddy

adventure 3

heros spirit longs for adventure ig

he goes sailing :) surely nothing wrong will happen :)

something wrong happened

he doesn't realize it but he kinda went sleep mode

meets a redhead pirate not malon not zelda but somewhere in between and she's turns into a rock bc of a dark blob of evil that calls itself a nightmare

adventure time 8 dungeons plus a hunt for a shiny triangle that's not at all the triforce

Third plot point: finds an island

beats the nightmare and everything disappears. It's not his fault n they aren't dead but they DEFINITELY aren't where he is. he's currently stranded so.. good luck

he finds his way back to Hyrule! no more adventures surely...

hopefully?

adventure 4 (it's starting to get excessive..)

the one time he's gone Ganon is resurrected????

ganon got tired of being imprisoned and used a cool alterego to escape the sacred realm

hey!! Link is busy w oos and ooa (no ganon tho. only twinrova) so ganon said lmao what a time to be alive and released HIMSELF from the sacred realm using this weirdo names aghanim who totally isn't ganon in a trenchcoat

Zelda is about to be sacrificed! for magic reasons! idk think skyward sword or minish cap ganon just isn't happy with the ENTIRE TRIFORCE so he went for zelda (hylia's) power too

link comes in guns blazing and fails miserably. he has to go get a weird triangle now bc zelda attempted and succeeded at splitting every piece of the triforce into 8 individual pieces (24 total)

gets the funky triangle back whoops ganons back n he seals him away again and hopefully he'll stay away? please?

link makes friends with literally. every single fairy out there plus one so now they all love him.

fair enough I mean

adventure 5. last one I swear

hyrule warriors! he meets so many people and then they all leave :( but now he's somewhere between mature-bubbly-suspicious of every single damn thing especially if it has an eye associated with it

Inciting incident: "oh, what's that gate looking thing?"

it's just Hyrule warriors

It's just Hyrule warriors.

Ganon gets his cheeks clapped. you know the drill

world is saved! let's hope he doesn't have to chase a shadow through time in his next adventure *hint. nudge nudge

[thegeminisage]

[thegeminisage]

but i accidentally blew myself up while standing on one

i just realized each of the monks was making a triangle with their hands

but their hands are all in different places holy fuck they were making the triforce!!!!

(okay actual spoilers now You Were Warned)

“get up here” hoe how?? oh there’s a ladder

OKAY

I KNEW HE WAS THE KING BUT HOLY FUCK

i actually fucking forgot there was voice acting in this so my jaw dropped all over again when he started talking to me

it’s a good thing he pronounced his name bc i sure could not have lmao

and the music oh god thru the whole cutscene it was perfect i welled up

i knew that voice was zelda!! nintendo lied to me

she’s so beautiful and i love her so much

also? the giant things piloted by “champions”? are you fucking kidding me there are jaegers in the legend of zelda I AM SO HAPPY I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE HAPPY

i can’t believe im going to kakariko to meet impa i love her so much i missed her so much

i can’t believe he said kakariko out loud i can’t get over voice acting

and like the voice acting isnt even that spectacular like it’s solid but it’s not Great but the fact that they SPEAK

i remember being 8 years old and not having one damn clue pronouncing “ocarina” like “orky-AH-na” barely able to read that ratty old guidebook well enough to help my 6 year old brother figure out how to get through the dungeons

now almost 20 years later they are finally speaking to me

i wish i could go back in time and tell little eight year old liz just how good it gets. she’d lose her fucking mind

what?? no no no old man don’t leave ;____;

but he did. he told me all he could and he’s just. gone. well.

at least i did get a sick bow haha

im so sad. im so sad. im SO sad

poor hyrule poor zelda poor king whatever the fuck his name was. oh my god. why couldn’t he have stayed. it wasn’t a bad life...maybe a little tiring, but

i’ll think of you whenever i bake apples, pal. thank you for the coat.
