Wild Tears of The Kingdom theory but it’s been floating around in my head all day.

This is long and probably all over the place but please bare with me.

So I’m sure by now most of you have already seen the official artwork for Ganondorf and noticed that he had one of the tear shaped Gems on his forehead.

Except this one is red, you might even say it looks corrupted.

But we’ll get back to that, because I wanna talk about the hero on the tapestry in botw for a hot second.

So I know we’ve all already talked about how the hero in the tapestry isn’t Link, doesn’t even look remotely like Link, with the red hair and beard, but you know who does have red hair and a beard, oh yeah, Ganondorf.

Also, in the opening of the tapestry he isn’t called “The Hero” which is what we always call Link, he’s called “a warrior wielding the soul of a hero”

So here’s where it gets crazy, well, crazier. What if for some reason Link wasn’t around for Calamity Ganon 10,000 years ago and Hylia, (or I guess it would technically be Fi?) was forced to chose someone else to battle The Calamity. A strong warrior, like someone from the Gerudo, like maybe….Ganondorf? And perhaps the “soul of a hero” refers to the master sword.

So let’s say I’m right and Ganondorf somehow ended up being the hero from 10,000 years ago, then what happened, why does he want to destroy us now?

Well, here’s where we pick up where I left off on the tear gem because I have a second theory inside of this one. Maybe, because he wasn’t the true hero, because he wasn’t LINK, he somehow got corrupted by malace during the battle, and they ended up having to seal him away somewhere deep underground. And the reason he’s so angry now isn’t just because of his malace corrupted soul, but because they betrayed him, they forced this role upon him, this destiny he never asked for and then when he needed help instead of trying to save him they locked him away, abandoned him after everything he had sacrificed for them.

I saw a post on tumble where someone mentioned they wanted to be able to save Ganondorf, which got me wondering if we can purify his little gem thing, but yeah that’s pretty much it.

Also, in not related to this theory, but I noticed the Zelda on the tapestry seems to have a dark skin tone, which makes me wonder if this is the Zelda from 10,000 years ago.

Jientio Doodle dump

I found a sick reference for the first one and I knew it was destined to be a Jientio doodle, so it was. Messily colored but idc I like it, my goofy guys, my stupids TM, my comfort ship lowkey- The second doodle up there is from the meme I recently posted. I love how he turned out so I'm posting it here too.

How Ratio handles Jien vs How Jien handles Ratio

It is the cutenes agression in her you can't blame her. She's usually gentle but listen, he's too good looking. She gotta get her hands on him.

And last one for now:

Idk what this is but it is what it is. I saw that one still of Tom Hiddlestone in some play, I genuinely don't know what it was I just grabbed the reference pic and ran. And now it is Jientio.

Hello, I’m having a sale in my shop! If you use the code ‘20off’ at the checkout you’ll receive 20% off of your entire order. My two latest tapestry pieces are still up and I’ve made some old prints available again too! (life things under the cut ^^)

you can visit my shop here ♡

As I continue to adjust and find my footing, I’ve been working on a larger project so I haven’t been able to work on formal illustrations (even though I’ve had a few in progress for months now…) and I probably won’t have anything new to share for a while… so I’m having a sale ^^

Beyond this project, Ive been focusing on making personal art to help me heal from recent life events. I’ve been filling sketchbooks with some of my ttrpg characters in particular! It’s nice to have ocs with friends again 🩷 I’ve also been learning how to write short stories which has been truly enriching, though most of them aren’t very good lol.

I hope you have all been well and I thank you for the support!

Screencap from the lost series "The Arcadia Tapestry" Season 1 "Giving Up The Ghost" Episode 1/Pilot; "Hey there, Mr. Blue!" (1997)

Felt like making a fake screenshot for my OC story! As a treat.

A version with no effects is under the cut!

[ALT ID: A digital illustration of Malia and Callebero, two teenagers, in what appears to be a throne room of sorts. Malia is sitting in the throne, smirking up at the Callebero, who leans on the back of the throne and looks down at her with a somewhat unamused expression. Malia has dark skin and long locs and wears a coral, gold, and teal crop top and a gold pleated skirt. In her loose hand, she holds a small package wrapped in paper. Callebero wears dark robes and a cape and leans on a saber. Behind both of them is a tapestry showing a knight falling off horseback as a lance pierces their chest while a second knight reaches for them.]

If people could stop making massive, largely baseless assumptions about DAV based on a playtest build that only contains six hours of the game and that we haven't even seen all of that'd be great.

one thing that confuses me about totk is that the botw tapestry seems mostly dropped? except it's part of the substitute teacher side quest so I know they didn't actually forget about it, but the tapestry was all like "10k years agooo... a princess and her knight defeated calamity ganon with the help of four champions and a bunch of sheikah tech" which I obviously assumed would be relevant in totk but it isn't really? (there's actually very little ancient sheikah tech at all lol where the fuck did they even put the divine beasts between games. those things were massive) but like. there's no ancient hero, there's no ancient princess really either? so like? where does that tapestry fit in the lore?

my only guess is that (running off your assumption that calamity ganon is just a manifestation of the anger and power of the sealed ganon under the castle and not a separate incarnation) that something similar happened AFTER the events shown in totk, maybe a generation or two down the line, he tried to launch a malice infested pig attack the first time like depicted in the tapestry, and this just wasn't the focus of totk bc we alread yknow how that turned out? but idk. thoughts?

yeah that's basically my reading of it. sometime between the imprisoning war and the botw calamity sealed ganondorf got really pissed and pulled a proto-calamity which required the divine beasts and guardians to be built. and then when he lost he was so embarrassed that he fucked off for 10k years before trying again. i do wish that we got a bit more about that in totk bc it feels kind of strange that it was teased so much in botw and then just. never really followed through on. but it does mean that im fully free to write it myself if i ever get bored enough so that's a plus ig
