what do you think about zora design? about past and current designs? how would you change it? actually!!! what are the zora (and other races) like in your sword of fate au???
got distracted by the second question. look at my little guys:
these are some of the current (working) designs!! from left to right it's sheikah, zora, hylian, goron, and gerudo! these aren't necessarily the average builds/designs for each race but they're the most important character from each race lol. sword of fate takes place really early-on in the timeline, so the culture and separation of races is still kind of loose especially among the humanoid races. the current generation of zora is basically the first generation to call themselves zora and attempt to establish a government or hold any authority alongside the other races of hyrule, and because they're kind of a young race i imagine they're less fishy and more invertebrate-like in this stage, hence my jellyfish princess! (her dad is a giant squid lol.) the sheikah are descendants of the original surface humans, whereas the hylians and gerudo are two seperate sects that both originally came from skyloft. the hylians built a few villages which each have their own distinct vibe while the gerudo took a more nomadic approach and roam the desert in small independently governed groups. The gorons are the most well-established race at this point, having been on the surface a lot longer than basically everyone else, and so they have a much stronger culture and shared identity than a lot of the other races that are still kind of getting their footing.
#no rito because sof is like 200-300 years at most after sksw and the idea of bird people existing in such close proximity to horse birds#weirds me out ngl. i think some of the hylians in skyloft village (not actually in the sky but built way up in the mountains to mimic it)#might actually still ride loftwings. havent decided yet. anyway#the sheikah and hylian villages recognize the authority of & are (loosely) governed by the hyrulian royal family#the gorons & zora recognize the royals as a foreign governing body but don't submit to them--they have their own governments#and the gerudo just kind of have a mutual 'you don't fuck with me i dont fuck with you' agreement with the hyrulian government lol#& then of course their are some fringe sects like the one ganon comes from. who are also basically ignored until they become a problem#asks#loz: sword of fate#< wow it's been a while since i used that tag lmfao#um anyway. i can do a seperate post abt canon zora designs if anyone wants it ig lmfao
