We Need A Little Yiga Now

Here is my first Tumblr post of my own fanfiction! Summary: A Christmas lyric parody for my beloved Yiga Clan! Written in their perspective, as they see themselves: the heroes fighting for justice. Oh, and there are bananas.

Consistent with my Unshed Tears series, but random enough to be a stand alone. Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!

We Need A Little Yiga Now

Call out the clansmen Find lots of ripe bananas, make us strong again Sharpen the sickles To keep a vow we made ten thousand years ago now

For we need a little Yiga, right this very minute Trusting in a future, fighting to begin it Yes, we'll take a stand for justice, right this very minute Link is tough, he makes us worry, but Kohga says we're in a hurry

Search all the kingdom Refine the strongest Earthwake move we've ever seen Serve Master Kohga We'll take the hero's life and prove our faithfulness now

Time to get a little madder, act a little bolder Be a little meaner, let our spirit smolder And we'll leave a few bananas, sitting by a boulder Need a little ambush now

For we'll keep our ancient promise, raise our ancient master Ganon will awaken, Hyrule face disaster And we'll prove that we are Yiga, steadfast ever after Call out all the Yiga now!

I'm usually not even like. actively critical of most of the media I consume. if I have fun that's usually good enough for me and I usually only point out things that are like. egregious. so that's really not a good sign for totk since I've been speaking so much ill of it

[yanderes-galore]

Can I ask for a romantic Link and Zelda (BOTW) concept of them sharing a darling, please????? Thank you! <3

Sure! I'd love to now that I have both of their concepts done :)

Original BOTW Link Concept

Original BOTW Zelda Concept

Yandere! Link + Zelda (BOTW) Sharing you

(Or Alternative BOTW! Zelda Concept)

Pairing: Romantic - Sharing

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Overprotective behavior, Paranoia, Stalking, Poly/Sharing yanderes, Isolation, Forced/Dubious relationship.

I'd imagine this being like an alternate version of Zelda's concept.

While Zelda's concept mentioned Link being involved in protecting you, I didn't go too far into it.

If they were sharing it would go similarly to Zelda's concept but with Link being more involved with you in general.

Zelda would've known you as a childhood friend but has been scared to admit it to you.

Plus she has to fulfill and train for her destiny/research technology.

As a result she has only been able to act as a close friend to you.

You two talk all the time just like in her concept and for the most part it's the same.

Here's where things change.

Zelda is annoyed by Link's presence as her knight at first.

She feels she doesn't need some protector following her around and is annoyed by his presence like in the cutscenes.

She'd much rather hang out with you alone than with him tagging along.

During this time while Zelda is annoyed, Link ends up getting attached to you.

He watches you and the princess chat and just can't stop listening to your voice.

He ends up following you while protecting the princess as he seems interested.

Zelda probably can sense this which only makes her more irritated than she already is.

Zelda tries to tolerate Link until she's eventually attacked by the Yiga Clan and saved by him.

It's at this point she begins to care about him more.

She may even accept the fact that they both have an interest in you.

As her own obsession develops she may even ask Link if he feels anything towards you.

If he admits to it then Zelda isn't that annoyed.

She can't blame him... after all, he isn't that bad of a guy and she's fallen for you two.

Zelda may admit to Link she also has feelings for you... for awhile now... but she doesn't mind sharing.

This is what makes this concept different from Zelda's.

While you're unaware the two have already decided they wish to date you.

Zelda continues to act as your close friend while Link acts as a protector for you both.

Link would be the one more prone to stalking but relays any info he obtains to Zelda.

The two would plan and watch over you until a confession eventually comes up.

Zelda may confess that she and Link have fallen for you and wish to pursue a shared relationship.

If you refuse then they'll be patient.

Both of them will want to still protect you as they love you.

They're willing to wait as long as they have to in order to have you love them.

If you say yes, they'll accept you with open arms.

Expect kisses and hugs... all sweet actions from the two.

No matter your choice the two vow to love and protect you.

To an obsessive and overly protective degree.

This escalates when The Calamity awakens and the whole plan to seal Ganon fails.

Similarly to the Zelda concept she decides the best way to keep you safe is to seal you away.

The princess becomes overly stressed as Link by this point jumped in to protect you and Zelda... dying in the process.

This means both you and Link are sealed away while Zelda holds of Ganon for 100 years.

This brings us to the time of Link's concept.

When Link awakens with memory loss, he's told to grow stronger yet also find you.

This leads into a long journey to find you in a shrine of something sealed away.

Link has memory loss of the relationship he had with you and Zelda.

Yet the hero still feels an overwhelming urge to protect you from danger.

To the point he never wants to leave your side.

You may remember him, you may not, either way it's a bit unnerving to you how close this man hovers around you.

You're most likely kept in a village until after Link fights Ganon.

He forces you to stay put and visits you often as he goes to cleanse the Divine Beasts.

He slowly begins to fall for you again, even more if he manages to regain his memories.

It's to the point he wants to kiss and hold you again... to feel your warmth and adoration.

Yet he knows he has to rid the world of Ganon first.

After all... Zelda must miss you too.

By the time Ganon is gotten rid of (for now), the events have affected the both of them.

Like in Zelda's concept, once Hyrule Castle is rebuilt, she has you locked away in your own little room.

She tries to tell you it's to keep you safe as she fears you'll be in danger again.

Link agrees to this and stands as your guard.

He takes it as his job to keep you in Hyrule Castle.

The two still treat you well and give you affection.

They kiss you, praise you, and hold you close.

Yet they take away your freedom.

Zelda explains it's for the best while Link tries to comfort you.

Surely you'll understand...

They only do this because they love you.

Broken (Part one) (Sidon x Reader)

Around 800 words, sorry it's kinda short.

(Seems everyone collectively agreed the nickname for Sidon’s beloved is “Pearl” so we going with that too)

Warnings: Trauma, scared reader, injured reader, sadness, would this be classified as agnst?

--------

One breath and then another. It took time to cool down after the intense trauma.

It had been 2 weeks since you came home to Zora’s Domain. 2 weeks since you escaped the never ending torture of the Yiga Clan. Two weeks and you were a wreck. But you still hadn’t told Sidon anything yet, in fact you had barely said anything to anyone since your return. Your feelings were complicated and your thoughts were mixed.

—- (Two weeks earlier)

When Sidon saw you passed out on the road, tattered and broken, after being missing for 3 months, he froze. It was supposed to be a short, week-long trip to a nearby stable to help cook for the less fortunate.

When you didn’t return after three days, Sidon sent out patrols and looked for you everywhere. Everyone who passed through was searched and questioned, but no one had even heard of you. The majority of the domain thought you just ran away, wanted to run from the stress of Sidon working all the time. He knew this was not true. He had a gut feeling the entire time that something had happened to you.

After defending you for weeks in the light of day, and then wallowing in guilt in the shade of night, Sidon felt so lost. His world was missing.

So when he saw your body, crumpled and broken, blood dripping from your mouth and cuts all over, his heart broke. He thought you were dead, and you would’ve been if he wouldn’t have rushed you home.

He stayed up all night to make sure you were ok, when he finally fell asleep it was next to you.

You slept for 4 days and by the morning of the 5th day you returned, when you opened your eyes as the sun was just rising, you didn’t know where you were. Sidon was next to you, he had slept there every night. When you saw his face you let out a scream of terror. The next thing you knew your vision went blurry.

“My Pearl- you’re awake- are you ok- I-“

The breathing came fast and heavy. Then the tears began to flow as everything that happened in the past 3 months came back to you. You recognized Sidon, of course, but although you wished it could be any other way, you also feared him more than almost anything in all of Hyrule. But to tell him would be to break him. So you kept silent as he brushed away your tears, flinching at every move and moment.

He held you until he noticed something was definitely off. Your pushing away at his arms got more and more intense and the look in your eyes was not one of love, but one of fear. When he reached over with a trembling hand to brush the hair from your face you stiffened at the touch.

“Are you- you can’t- are you afraid of…me?”

You just looked off to the side confirming Sidon’s suspicions. He backed away from you slowly. “What exactly happened in that time you were gone?” When you stayed silent he followed up with, “My Pearl…who hurt you?”

—- (Current time)

Staring from the balcony of your room, your new room (once your fear of Sidon became obvious they arranged a new place for you to stay), you saw Sidon. He was sitting on the edge of the Domain, crying. You felt awful. After all, Sidon is the love of your life, and after what happened you can’t get close to him without a freak out.

You know that even if it pained you that much, you had to open up to him. Sidon had to know what happened behind the waterfall, even if it broke both your hearts, anything was better than this. You vowed to tell him everything when the moment was right.

(Later that night)

Your screams echoed through your door. Sidon, who had only found comfort in sleeping across from your room ever since your move occurred, heard your tortured cries. He ran to your door and seconds before he knocked he knew it would only cause you ore distress in him being there. This had been a pattern going for the last week. Sidon would forget your condition and then the realization would come crashing back. Everything was eating him alive.

Just a moment later you opened the door, tears streaming down your face. The exact Zora you wanted was looking back at you, tears glistening his eyes just like you.

You slammed your body against him locking the two of you in an embrace. "I'm so scarred Sidon." Your arms trembled around him. "I'm ready to tell you everything."

-------

Not sure if I'm going to do a part two. If you want one (maybe with what happened behind the waterfall and y/n telling Sidon why they're/she's scared?) just request it/reply. Hopefully you enjoyed this, I'd love to hear some opinions!

Mask Off 🍌

Traysi, head editor of the Lucky Clover Gazette, has been kidnapped by the Yiga Clan! Will Link be able to save his friend before she falls victim to his not-greatest-but-still-somewhat-frustrating enemies?

Chapter 1/? (2096 words)

“It’s those guys,” Penn mutters, more to himself than anyone else. He motions to his own face. “You know, the ones with the…” “Noses?” asks the stablehand. “No, the masks! They all wear masks!” Link’s blood goes cold. The Yiga Clan has kidnapped Traysi. What in Hyrule did she write?

Read the rest on ao3 or under the cut:

Rumor Mill: Volume 2

Greetings from Traysi—your source for the best gossip and news!

Have you been hearing any good stories on your travels? I've got a great one for you today!

The Sword that Seals the Darkness

The only one who can wield this sword carries the blood of the hero in their veins.

That's what they say about this special blade! Rumor has it the blade has been hidden away in a forest somewhere...

I have to admit that this rumor really has me interested, but sometimes you have to face reality.

My reality is... There isn't any hero in my bloodline, so this sword would just be a big paperweight to me...

Traysi's Recommendation: ★☆☆☆☆

- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

─────────────────

“HEEEEEEEYYYYY!”

Link pockets a brightbloom seed and sighs. That voice is unmistakable—there must be trouble up above. His journalistic partner Penn has a knack for placing himself in newsworthy situations.

He raises his hand towards the ceiling and ascends to the surface, right beside the cooking pot and a light brown Hylian Retriever. Penn, an unusual-looking Rito, speaks frantically to the stable attendant Kenyo.

“She’s gone!” Penn exclaims, waving his wings in the air. “The boss, she’s been kidnapped!”

Link’s frown deepens. Penn’s boss is also technically his boss, and she’s not the kind of boss that leaves a heart container when she’s killed. If Traysi, lead editor of the Lucky Clover Gazette, is really in danger… well, she isn’t exactly a castle knight. He’s not even sure she knows how to use a sword.

Wait. Kidnapped?

“I’m sorry, sir,” says Kenyo, “but I’m not sure how I can help.”

Penn groans. “Where’s a hero when you need one?”

Link isn’t surprised by Penn’s obliviousness. He tends to go relatively unnoticed while traveling, due to his small stature and typically casual dress. Sure, some people recognize the sword on his back and his magical arm, but they’re few and far between. And in Penn’s case, their boss has intentionally kept him in the dark about Link—for ‘journalistic objectivity,’ she’d once privately explained.

“It’s those guys,” Penn mutters, more to himself than anyone else. He motions to his own face. “You know, the ones with the…”

“Noses?”

“No, the masks! They all wear masks!”

Link’s blood goes cold. The Yiga Clan has kidnapped Traysi.

What in Hyrule did she write?

He clears his throat, but Penn remains fixed on Kenyo. Link sighs, grabs a nearby wooden spoon, and hits it against the side of the cooking pot.

“Link!” Penn exclaims, darting over to the familiar face. “My faithful reporting assistant! Something absolutely terrible has happened to our esteemed editor.”

Link nods. Penn glances behind his back, suddenly suspicious. “Do you know a place we can talk… privately? They could be anywhere. I trust you with the details, but everyone else…”

Penn eyes the Hylian Retriever suspiciously. Link would find his wariness rather silly, if not for the fact that the Yiga Clans regularly disguise themselves as random Hylians, cuccos, and even trees just to ruin his day.

He leads Penn to the well and climbs over the edge.

“Wait!” Penn whisper-yells. “You expect me to go down there?!”

Link meets his eyes, willing him to understand. Our friend is in danger. We don’t have time to waste.

Before the Calamity, Link had restrained himself from speaking out of duty. He’d been a rather gregarious child, but took a voluntary vow of silence just before his assignment as Princess Zelda’s knight. Over time, he’d grown comfortable enough in her presence, and her presence alone, to occasionally speak. But it usually felt like a favor to her, more than anything else. As a very vocal person herself, it made sense that she’d see his speech as a sign of growth.

After his century of restoration, Link had traveled the world for nearly a year. Not with his father, not with the knights or Champions, not even with Zelda herself—just him, alone. And he didn’t really have a reason to speak. Most things were on a strictly need-to-know basis, and he’d ultimately freed the Divine Beasts alone. He’d found other ways to communicate with his newfound allies, people from a time that wasn’t even his. He was a visitor in their world, send from the past to save them all.

So he did save them all, and Princess Zelda too. But then time... just kept passing. And they all just kept living. Distant allies became close and treasured friends, and all the places he used to just visit became his home.

These days, Link occasionally does talk, mostly to keep other people safe and informed. The fact that he can do this without issue is a great improvement to the way he’d silenced himself before the Calamity. Especially after the Upheaval, his voice has served him well.

But mostly, when he is given the choice, Link still prefers to remain silent. He often finds that words only complicate the world’s simple truths anyway. His friends do their best to respect his unique communicative habits, although it occasionally causes some frustration. Eventually, even Zelda came to understand that his silence is a choice, rather than a limitation. Link has always admired that quality of hers—the willingness to change.

He pictures the Light Dragon soaring through Hyrule’s skies and winces at his own poor choice of words. Yet another reason he prefers silence.

“Fine,” Penn groans, glaring distastefully down the well. “But only because the boss is in trouble.”

Link gives him a thumbs-up and slides himself inside. The fall is brief and broken by a small pool of water. Several hot-footed frogs scatter as he wades over to dry land.

Penn drifts downward into the small cave, skipping the water entirely. He regards the moss and lichen with mild disgust. “Do you spend a lot of your time in these kinds of places, partner?”

Link shrugs. He rather enjoys the sound of rushing water, and the quiet stable music from above. A sticky lizard falls onto him from the ceiling and he doesn’t even flinch.

“What was that?!” Penn exclaims, as the yellow creature skitters away. “Oh, forget it.”

Link gestures to an imaginary mask on his face. Mimicry, he’s found, can be an incredibly effective method of communication.

“Right,” says Penn, nodding his determination. “Okay, I’ll give you the scoop.”

Link plucks a nearby brightcap and bites into it like an apple.

“Ever since the Princess Zelda case went cold,” Penn tells him, “the boss has been searching for new leads to follow. First it was the disappearance of the Guardians and Sheikah technology, but when we sent investigators to Kakariko Village they were all turned away. But we both know that Traysi never gives up, so she kept digging on her own.”

Link raises an eyebrow and points to himself. Why didn’t she ask me?

Penn bursts out laughing. “Sorry, pal, but I think all that Sheikah stuff might be a little above your pay grade.”

Penn may be oblivious to Link’s true identity, but Traysi isn’t. She knows exactly who he is, although he supposes he’s not exactly the easiest person to track down. He should visit the Gazette more often, to give her the opportunity to check in. He still enjoys her company, even though he’s already earned the Froggy Armor and learned Zelda’s fate.

Which… maybe that’s why Traysi hasn’t asked him for help. When she’d asked what happened to Zelda, Link just teleported himself away, hoping that she’d run with the Demon King story instead.

“And there’s always the Demon King,” Penn continues, “but all we have on him is history. Traysi says people don’t care about history, they want current events. And we can only run the headline ’Demonic Demagogue Does Dastardly Deeds in Desolate Depths’ so many times before people start to complain. Although maybe it’s the alliteration, not the repetition, that really gets under their skin…”

Link takes another loud bite out of the raw mushroom.

“Anyway,” Penn continues, “the Guardian stuff was a no-go. But she found something else while looking into the Sheikah, a story she seemed even more excited to chase: the Yiga Clan.”

That surprises Link. He had no idea that the Yiga were connected to the Sheikah—although in retrospect, their symbol literally being the upside-down Sheikah symbol isn’t exactly subtle.

“We’ve mentioned them before in the Gazette,” Penn explains, “but only while debunking rumors about the Princess. They do like to disguise themselves as Zelda, huh?”

That, they do. The worst time was on the Great Plateau, where a not-Zelda had been waiting for Link at a fire near the Cave of Resurrection. For just a second, he’d let his guard down and hoped it was her. But then he looked up at the sky and saw the Light Dragon overhead.

Like all Yiga footsoldiers, not-Zelda had managed to teleport away before Link could land a final blow. Normally Link is fine with that—he’s not exactly eager to take Hylian lives—but in that specific instance he would have been very tempted to make an exception.

“I’m sure it drives her swordsman crazy,” says Penn. “Poor guy.”

Link nods sympathetically. Penn proceeds.

“After learning about the Yiga Clan’s history, Traysi started digging into their present operations. She sent a few brave reporters to the Great Plateau, but they all returned empty-handed. All they found were some perfectly nice travelers and researchers and a few weird frog statues.”

Link points to Penn. Why didn’t you go?

Penn shake his head. “Way too dangerous, partner. We’re writers, not fighters. I have no idea how you managed to survive so many scuffles while we were in the field. And Traysi… she’s mentioned looking after herself during the Rumor Mill days, but it’s been years since she’s been on the beat.”

Link remembers meeting Traysi during his post-Calamity adventures, when she’d been kept out of Gerudo town despite her gender very much being female. From the conversations he overheard between Traysi and the guard, it seemed that they’d simply found her annoying.

“I came into work today and she was gone,” Penn recalls. “I searched the entire stabl—uh, base of operations—but the only thing I found was…”

He pulls a familiar red talisman out of his messenger bag. Link is all-too-familiar with the Yiga Clan’s literal calling card.

He points to his own eyes. Did anyone else see anything?

“Juannelle spent the night in Rito Village and Douma is chasing down a lead in Goron City,” Penn reports. “Really, what’s the point of running a newspaper with your sisters if they can’t even save you from kidnapping?”

Link wonders if anyone in the history of Hyrule has ever said those words in that order before.

“Oh, and Galli’s on paid leave because he threw out his back chopping wood.”

Link finishes his mushroom and takes the Yiga talisman from Penn.

“Good idea,” says Penn. “Find a hero and pass that on to them. It might be a hard ask, though—it seems like most people are completely unaware of the Yiga Clan.”

Penn might be surprised that most Hylians haven’t noticed the Yiga Clan, but after eight years in this post-Calamity world Link has accepted that most people experience life in a very different way from himself. They have no reason to pay attention to mysterious assassins or giant bleeding chasms, because those things aren’t their duty to confront. Most normal Hylians spend their time thinking about what to make for breakfast, or admiring the sunset over the sea.

Link often reminds himself that he, too, deserves to indulge in life’s simplicities. It’s why he took the job at the Lucky Clover Gazette, instead of simply investigating Princess Zelda’s disappearance on his own. It’s why he spends hours a week transporting koroks to their friends, even though Hestu has already fully upgraded his weapons capacity. And it’s why even now, long after he solved the mystery of Zelda’s fate, he still occasionally stops by the Gazette’s headquarters in the old Rito stable. Because Penn and Traysi are his friends, and he likes to make sure they’re okay.

It’s nice to remind himself that most of his friends are okay.

“I’ll hold down the fort while you search,” Penn tells Link. He seems quite relieved to have someone else on this specific case. “SOAR LOOOOOONG!”

Penn salutes, as he always does, and then he flies directly into the ceiling. Link offers him a mushroom to offset the damage.

Chiampa Sword

Presenting the newest addition to my arsenal for my LoZ fanfic, The Realm Walker, the Chiampa (Chee-amp-ah) short sword!

Now, you might be looking at this and think, "Oh cool a new Ancient Sheikah sword!" Well you'd be wrong! This is a sword popular with the Xhona (Sho-na) Tribe of Xilipi (Sy-lie-pie), a nation beyond the western edge of the Gerudo Desert.

See, a long long long time ago, there was an event known as the First Calamity. Ganon manifested as an eldritch abomination that would eventually be known as Calamity Ganon. This creature laid waste to the collective armies of Hyrule, and just as all hope seemed lost, armies from Xilipi, Holoryna (Holodrum and Labrynna from the Oracle games unified), and Yosun arrived to join the fray. This gave Zelda and Link the chance to seal way Calamity Ganon at the cost of their lives.

At that point the four nations formed an alliance and vowed never to allow this to happen again. This lead to the development of the Divine Beasts, Guardians Towers, and Weapons and Armor that would much later gain the term Ancient Sheikah Technology. The Divine Beasts and Guardians proved far more effective than anyone thought possible. So effective in fact, that many feared what would happen if this technology were to be misused.

None more so than the Ancient King of Hyrule (recently rediscovered to be one King Harkson Lockfreid Hyrule), without consulting the rest of the Alliance, he ordered the Ancient Sheikah Technology buried. This lead to the dissolution of the Alliance with Yosun, Xilipi, and Holoryna cutting ties with Hyrule, the Rito, Gerudo, Gorons, and Zora cutting ties with the Hylian people, the formation of the Yiga Clan and persecution of the Sheikah, and the building of the Sheikah Shrines as an emergency effort to prepare for the inevitable return of Calamity Ganon.

The people of Xilipi in particular managed to keep some Ancient Sheikah Tech and over the next 10,000 years refined it. The Chiampa is one result of these efforts.

The blade is made of pure energy, and is activated by a button on the spine of the weapon, near the guard. The color of the blade is different than that of Ancient Sheikah weapons, shifted more towards green. Interestingly, the blade is also less bright in the ultraviolet spectrum, presumably because the reptilian Likira (Lie-ky-ra) Tribe of Xilipi's coastal regions can see ultraviolet like the Rito can.

Okay that's enough in universe stuff... The blade is based on the Cimpaba, with details from the Ancient Short Sword from BotW. Here's what it looks like with the blade turned off.

The blade's probably thicker than Ancient Sheikah Gear. It's powered by a removable crystal.

The color of the crystal and blade emitters is meant to resemble Zonai tech, as Ancient Sheikah Tech was based off it. Naturally this means the Xilipians have access to Zonaite. Also a little trivia, weapons with actual, physical blades are still pretty popular in Xilipi, especially as status symbols.

Here's how big it is.

Well now, who's this? A member of the Survey Team seems to have made it quite far into the Depths - much further than any of the other members have been - and offers to guide Link to a handful of the large abandoned mines down there, for rest and resources. She seems friendly enough, but on their way, she always manages to take Link right through the bases that the Yiga Clan has set up. Surely she just has an abysmal sense of direction and these drive-by's are completely unintentional...right?

And what's with her always disappearing whenever Master Kohga's at their destination? Not to say that she's really Master Kohga's right-hand woman, Sepria, in disguise...but it is true that no one's ever seen Olive and Sepria in the same room... 👀

BASICALLY I had the idea that Sepria takes on a disguise and intentionally guides Link into danger - that is, the Yiga bases scattered about the Depths - and then eventually, to whichever abandoned mine Master Kohga is stationed at...all with the intention of getting rid of the Champion of Hyrule one way or another.

Whenever they reach their destination, she disappears and sheds her disguise to assist Master Kohga as herself. It's only when they get to the Abandoned Hebra Mine that Sepria reveals her true identity, frustrated that Link has survived this long and vowing to take him down with her own two hands - but she unfortunately gets bested, and that's when Master Kohga steps in to fight Link with his Construct. And then he gets his ass kicked too, and then...well, I'll figure that part out later kdfjg

The fact that her uniform is green instead of the usual blue is supposed to be a hint that she's not really who she says she is. Her disguise also falls apart just slightly when she starts getting frustrated at Link, hence the hair color change.

You'd think that her being hellbent on Link's demise is just because of her loyalty to Master Kohga, but in reality she has her own reasons. She nearly threw her life away long ago because of the way she had to live - desolate and barely scraping by despite doing all she could, while the royal family prospered and prioritized the wellbeing of those already better off than her. But Sepria found purpose after joining the Yiga, who were also bitter towards the royal family, and thrived in her new life. Link, who is so closely associated with the royal family, is a reminder to Sepria of what she tried to escape from. Not only that, but he's stopping Ganon's return - which, frankly, Sepria would welcome if it meant the destruction of the rulers who ignored the struggles of many others like her. It's a long-term goal that Master Kohga is working hard to achieve, the only roadblock she can work on destroying right now is Link.

Replaying TotK and trying to wear the Yiga armor as much as possible has led to some hilarious moments in Gerudo areas like.

I had to go to jail to get a photo of a stela for the historian lady so I just put on my Yiga gear and got thrown in. Then I was like well it’s all sand shroud shitty outside and I didn’t see any guards so surely if I simply ascend out through the roof I’ll be fine. Nope! Emerged, immediately got called a “thief” despite minding my own damn business escaping from jail like a perfectly normal person, and got thrown back in and ~yelled at~ again. God forbid a Blademaster do anything.

Then in the Lightning Temple it was just fun running around with Riju acting like she didn’t even notice. Like cutscenes and everything, of course one’s outfit can’t change the dialogue or anything but Riju clasping hands with a lil’ Yiga boy and vowing to help him forever was just astfglddkdafs peace and love in Gerudo Desert.

BUT THEN right after all the scripted dialogue was over and all the Gerudo warriors literally bowed to a member of the Yiga Clan (I mean…I guess from Link’s perspective he’s infiltrating but from my perspective? …glorytoMasterKohga)…Buliara was just like “you’re dressed like an evil guy, go away and don’t come back til you cut that shit out.” And I got dumped outside where it was immediately too hot. So it just looked like Link was sadly reeling from this rejection.

Well ladies you can prevent me from wearing my uniform all you want but that doesn’t change the most important thing. My Kohga paraglider I MEAN what’s inside my heart! i.e. Kohga BANANAS.

Also one last thing, I put on the Lightning Helm to cover my face to talk to that one gal in the Voe and You class and after that walked around with it on for a while. A LOT of Gerudo popped up lil speech balloons commenting stuff like “I recognize that helm!” and “it couldn’t be…our helm?” and such. And I was like literally this is not yours. You did not make this. Yiga scientists gave their lives to create this thing. Show some respect! But on the other hand good job Banana Boys it’s so perfect it fools everyone. <3 (Kinda want to wear it near Riju now she’s back in town and see if she says anything tho.)

The full Zulip story pre-calamity ~

To start, Tulip herself is not a Hylian. She travels to Hyrule wanting to visit everything she can. She first visits the Rito and sees their ability to create updrafts and soar into the air, and she wants to do that too. However she obviously doesn't have wings. But shes tries to find a way to fly. So, she ends up creating the paraglider. vv

once she creates this, she continues her travels through Hyrule. She soon makes her way to Gerudo. But on her way, she gets attacked and is only saved because of the yiga clan. After being saved by them, Tulip becomes one of them.

She soon learns however that they attack the town of Gerudo, and she wants to do something to help. She sneaks into Gerudo at night to inform the women of any attacks the yiga might be planning. However one day, before she is assigned her knight, Zelda is kidnapped by the Yiga clan. And thats the first time Tulip ever sees Princess Zelda...

Tulip knows she has to do something to help. So while they have her captured and their all in one place, Tulip sets off smoke bombs to blind them, grabs Zelda, and flies both of them out of there. Zelda is grateful but also amazed by the paraglider she made, and asks all about it. Tulip is amazed at her interests as Zelda is the only other Hylian that understand how it works or even cares. After showing off the paraglider a bit more, Zelda returns to Hyrule and informs her father of what happened. Her father is happy for her safe return, but is also curious about the invention Zelda speaks of, thinking it could be useful to their kingdom. So, Zelda invites Tulip to Hyrule castle to meet her father and help develop more paraglider, and have her teach some of the Hylian knights how to use them. During this time, Tulip and Zelda often sneak out to hang out with each other, and Tulip starts to fall head over heels for her. They go on little field trips where Zelda gets to study, forget about being a princess, and gets to hang out with her friend.

but as the threat of Ganon looms closer, Zeldas dad, king Rhoam, becomes more serious. He sees how much the two of them enjoy each others company, and how much of a distraction Tulip has become for Zelda. So once he understands how to make the paragliders on his own, he bans her from speaking with Zelda so she can focus on unlocking her power. The both of them are heartbroken, but agree. Zelda tells Tulip that she needs someone she trusts to watch over the smaller villages of Hyrule that have less protection, and intrusts Tulip to do so. She happily agrees. She also tells Tulip to meet her at the spring of Wisdom on her 17th birthday. On that day, Tulip tells Zelda that she believes in her, that she knows she'll unlock her power in time, and that it'll be amazing. Zelda laughs, says thank you, and walks away. And thats the last time the two of them will see each other for 100 years. Later that same day, Ganon comes back and starts destroying Hyrule. Tulip does all she can to protect people in need, getting super beat up in the process. Eventually she makes her way to Hateno village, where she fights off a hoard of monsters alone to save everyone there. But just when she thinks its over, she sees a guardian making its way to the town. So she quickly rushes everyone in the village underground or anywhere where they will be safe. And when it arrives, she vows to strike it down, or die trying. And just as its about to kill her, a blinding light can be seen from across the kingdom. Zelda unlocking her secret power. The blast is enough to destroy the guardian, and Tulip falls to the ground knowing that the girl she loved achieved her dream... and thats it for pre-calamity! If u read all this thank u sm 😭

Since the breath of the wild sequel came out, will you write a sequel with aita in it based off of the game?

yes :) I'm waiting until I actually beat the game before I start writing it but I got some ideas: aita wanting to propose to link, aita learning more about the founding of the yiga clan, aita being conflicted about hyrule becoming a monarchy again and the tension that creates between link, who's vowed to serve that monarchy. I also want to explore more of my characterization of link, he's going to be much less cheery and naive in the sequel, partly due to the affect that his initial gloom poisoning has on him. it will take him a while to return to his normal self along with rebuilding his strength. he falls back into his pre-calamity habits and needs to be reminded that he's not alone anymore <3

It’s come to the point where the Yiga Clan in my brain has diverted so extensively that it would literally make more sense to just name them something else. Like. Seriously. And I’ve had the name “East Desert Rogues” in mind for months now.

The lore is, in a nutshell:

The land of Terra-Exodeum was the first place to ever exist in the world and was the birthplace of the gods which correlated to and were the pure source and physical manifestation of all the elements, tangible or not. These deities were what created essentially everything- the serpent of ice formed mighty glaciers, the hyena of lightning called on powerful storms, the hound of water procured rivers and waterfalls, the bull of earth sculpted mountains and valleys.

After assuming more human forms as the eons passed, the deities who chose to not forfeit their godhood in order to pass down their elemental powers into their bloodlines, of course, had the desire to rule over their own territory. This was relatively easy and peaceful, for a while. One such deity, Saint Equinox, hound of water, was undemanding of a domain to rule over and generally spent his time lounging, training in martial arts and wizardry in his monastery.

A few thousand years later, however, the deity of Plague, along with the deity of Wind, held a massive siege against much of the land in hopes to gain territory. This lasted for centuries, in which the incredible power of the goddess of Ice eventually overcame and ended the siege.

Still, many descendants of deities, commoners, and even a few of the deities themselves chose to leave the tainted land in search of brighter prospects, Saint Equinox no exception.

After changing his name inspired by his element (“Kohga” meaning “old river”), Kohga eventually settled in a distant land, in a village that was just starting its roots (many of the settlers being direct descendants of the deities.) For centuries he would quietly watch over this tribe, elusively enough as to where he was not questioned about his longevity. He came to adore these people like his own. Their technological achievements were incredible, and intellectual prowess immediately evident.

However, one fateful day, a horrific attempt by the corrupt hierarchy to wipe out the tribe was made. The king both despised the race for no apparent reason, and also thought their advancements were a threat to his rule.

Many lost their lives that day. Kohga, of course, fought hard to protect them- but the only other survivors that were able to hold their ground without surrendering were the descendants of his fellow deities. He gathered up the survivors, and offered a chance to run away from and rebel against the wretched kingdom. Many chose to instead forfeit their prowess and go on to lead mundane, heavily governed lives. Those who didn’t, which were the descendants, chose to flee alongside Kohga.

From there they formed a rudimentary group, which Kohga vowed to the seven young men that he would teach them as their sensei and pass on all of his knowledge. Kohga realized that the way they could best protect themselves was by gathering as many descendants, or “elemental wielders/masters”, as possible and beginning a clan of their own, passing the deific powers through the bloodlines in said clan.

Not too far into their journey, however, they were accosted by kingdom soldiers and officials. Already exhausted from the days of walking and trekking through harsh conditions, all looked bleak, until a very powerful woman intervened and annihilated the squadron. After some questioning this woman turned out to be none other than the goddess of ice that had defeated the siege that drove Saint Equinox and many others away to begin with. She vowed to take the men under her wing and became their protector.

For a few years, the group searched for any other elemental descendants that could aid their cause- in the end they ended up with twelve founders (including Kohga himself). They would go on to found the culture, settle in the desert, and establish their yet-to-grow community in the heart of the desert.

Much of their culture focuses on deep understanding and celebration of both ethnic diversity and homosexuality. And though of course it’s evolved over time to be about queerness and diversity in general, it’s important to remember their roots.

Important things to note:

-The typical bodysuit that you see Yiga soldiers wear wasn’t established until about 1,000 years before the current time (the lore I mentioned ends at about 50,000 years before current time).

-Even though the clan’s main goal is to fight against the prejudice they face, it isn’t free from its own glaring prejudice. Over 98% of the clan are male/masculine. This problem lasted until their assimilation with the Marine Embassy, which had the same problem but with female/feminine.

Anyways. I think it’s abundantly clear that with the adjustment of just a few things, this whole story could be its complete own. I’m not saying it will be or won’t be, I just think it’s impressive to see how far it’s diverted from its source material.

If you're still answering prompts 👀

betrayal for Maito

nightmare for Tazzia

betrayal for Deragenes

Matío: Was he ever betrayed by someone he trusted. Has he betrayed someone who trusted him?

Yes, for both questions. When he was a member of the Yiga clan, he held some trust towards those who were in higher command. Partially for Kohga, but mainly for the yiga he patrolled with. His defection was the result of his party betraying him, leading to him living with a debilitating regret.

As for the second question, fleeing from the Yiga would be the closest example. There were people in the clan who trusted him for his talent with stealth, espionage, and combat. Him leaving led them tracking him down ever since.

Tazzia: What does your OC have nightmares about? How do they deal with their nightmares? Do they tell people, or keep it to themself?

She isn't prone to nightmares, but when she does, her nightmares are usually about her family or her village. She vows to protect them with her reckless life, so she would dream of her failing that vow. She deals with the nightmares with Matío, either talking about them with him or sleeping alongside him.

Deragenes: Has your OC ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust? Has your OC ever betrayed someone who trusted them?

If you count him killing the former Angler King as "betrayal," then yes, he has betrayed somebody. In an effort to end a tyrannical reign of the Angler King, he dueled him and won, striking him dead.

The answer to the second question is no. He was never betrayed. He reigns with honor, loyalty, and respect. Compared to the Angler King, there is no good reason to betray him.

Nightmares and Monsters

< Previous | Part 4 | Next >

Link has a lot of guilt on his shoulders.

Extra long update this week! I finished the last page just in time and decided to group the two sets together since I’m super pleased with how these pages turned out. Let me know what you all think!

Start here > Part 1

Reblogs and comments are much appreciated! Open the images in a new tab for easier reading. Text transcript is provided below the cut.

Support me on Ko-fi!

Page 11

Link: The moment pulled the sword I sealed everyone to their fate. I was the harbinger of the calamity and their doom. And a thousand eyes watched me walk out of the lost woods and back to the castle with dread of what’s to come.

Link: But there was hope too. They thought I could do it... That I wouldn’t...

Page 12

Link: But I cursed them too. And they all suffered because of what I failed to do. 

Link: I let down my parents, broke my vow to the king, and the champions... I failed them all.

Page 13

Link: And after 100 years when I saw them again.. I didn’t even apologize. But I don’t deserve their forgiveness either. I just.. left. I took their gifts, struck down their blights, and moved on to the next battle. 

Page 14

Link: I’m a weapon--and I’ve killed so many. It’s not just the monsters and the blights. All the Yiga clan members and bandits and just-- people. They were all real people with lives, and families, and dreams and I just... ended them.

Link: But that’s what I’m good at. I’m good at killing. Because wasn’t that my destiny? Pull the sword and kill Ganon? But sometimes I wonder...

Page 15

Link: Am I much different than him? Or are we just two sides of the same coin resurrected to burn the world together in our fight?

Page 16

Link: All the people I cursed, all the death I caused... Everyone I’ve hurt-- and you...

Link: I’ve hurt you the most.

Self-Recs

Fic authors self-rec! ✨ When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers (if you would like to)!

Thanks for the tag @drsteggy :)

Ah my top 5 favourites! This is kinda hard haha. In no particular order here they are!

1) A Hero Indeed - my beloved Anti-Hero!Link long fic. My aim in this fic was to take the memories given in BOTW and add a spicy twist with a morally grey Link. It’s a play on what it means to be a Hero, in the context of Hyrule, the Triforce and the vows Link makes :) I also like that it’s told from Zelda’s perspective so the reader grows in suspicion along with her that something is not quite right.

2) Sometimes Things Have To Get Worse Before They Get Better: My first Yiga clan fic featuring an AU of memory #7 (Blades of the Yifa) where Link and Zelda are captured, and tortured by the Yiga, before escaping. I really liked this plot of this fic, I feel it’s probably my most unique plot idea :)

3) My 2021 Whumptober fic. It’s an imagining of what could have happened during Zelda's 100 year fight with the Calamity, and the effect this would have on Zelda and Link. It’s all under the theme of "betrayal" and I particular like the parallels in this fic- there’s a lot of imagery and symbolism that I really enjoyed writing :)

4) The Perils of Swimming: spirit tracks zelink! I love ST (I mean look at my header LOL) and in this fic we explore repercussions of Link’s decision to say yes to Zelda’s request in Papauchia village to go swimming. Spoiler alert: he can’t actually swim :) Cute fluffy Zelink to balance out my angst lol and this was a collab fic so featured really lovely art too!

5) Shadows are but one side of the coin: My post twilight princess fic where I explore what happens to Link once Midna shatters the mirror, his slip into depression, and the first steps he takes towards recovery when an unexpected letter from the castle arrives. It’s a softer and slower fic, different to my other stories in its subtlety and I keep having thoughts of what to happens next so I may very well write more of this haha.

Master Kohga Headcanons (ft. Sooga)

Am I obsessed with the Yiga Husbands? Maybe. Ask my dashboard. BUT HEY! We’re all here to have a good time and refuse that anything bad happened to Sooga. So, here are a few Kohga headcanons that my girlfriend and I came up with at 2am one night.

Spoilers? maybe? Also this was inspired by us reading Yiga Husbands oneshots by @sheikah-simp so shoutout to them! Go read their fics, they’re fucking brilliant!

-First of all, my theory for the Yiga Clan in AOC!Kohga’s time is that they were more of just a nuisance to the Gerudo for years until Astor showed up (clearly Kohga had been master for a while at that point)

-They *told* people they served Ganon? But like- in this universe they totally did not care, they were just following orders from Kohga and fucking around

-They serve Kohga, not Ganon, it’s really just about keeping a reputation and gave them a reason for a Super Secret Evil Hideout

-In general, the Yiga Clan is just made up of everyone that was an outcast or rejected somehow

-None of them are super evil, they’re just here to mess around and have fun with their banana shenanigans while being super cool ninjas

-Which is whyyyy, when Kohga came into leadership, he immediately adopted all the new recruits

-If you’re part of this clan, he will adopt you, thems just the rules, age doesn’t matter

-Tries to make it lowkey, fails

-If anybody acknowledges he actually cares about them, he’s the guy that’s like “NO! I do NOT! You’re my minions, that’s IT!”

- “...Here’s your banana smoothie, now go have fun and cause chaos.”

-Literally grew attached exactly three hours after he said he wasn’t gonna get attached

-Bad day? He knows just what you need

- “YIGA, ASSEMBLE! CUDDLE FORMATION-JUTSU, STAT!” “YES, MASTER!”

-For all the Yiga that stick in the hideout and live there full time, they all have their own little space to sleep in the rooms, but you can fit like twenty of them in there

-Goddess forbid one has a nightmare, the whole room wakes up

-Not because of the afflicted Yiga member being loud, no no, it’s what happens after

-One of them calls out in the night for Kohga, as he knows how to deal with them best (so they think, because he’s the greatest warrior ever)

-Immediately after, you just hear the fast pittering of footsteps down the hall until BAM! the door is struck down by Kohga

- “Alright you dirty dream demons, you! Get the HELL out of my hideout and STAY AWAY from my kids- er, minions!”

- Created his own “dream-demon-be-gone” move set that’s actually just him kicking at the air

-Absolutely no one questions if it’s real because somehow, it works

-”Dear Future Husband” would be a common drunkenly-singing-to-Sooga song at Karaoke Night

-Sooga always enjoys hearing Kohga sing and have fun

-but my gods that man doesn’t even consider for a moment that it’s meant for him

-Kohga could flat out tell Sooga “HEY I LOVE YOU!”

-And Sooga would be like “I also enjoy your company, Master Kohga :)”

-But Kohga would never do this anyway, no no, much too forward

-Literally EVERYONE in the clan knows he’s in love with Sooga, except for Sooga

-No, they are not hiding it well

-Sooga is just blind

-Extremely blind

-Not just because he has one eye

-The whole clan is trying to get them together and several (failed) attempts have been made

-They’ve collectively come up with a secret ship name for these “secret missions”

-It was after a long debate, but they finally settled on Kooga 

-Kohga overheard them talking about some Kooga person and eventually asks after they keep talking in hushed tones 

-Cue the many stammering and murmurings, as both Kohga and Sooga were there, and they had been caught red-handed

-To spare their master’s pride (and their own), a footsoldier fibbed that there was someone out there copying Master Kohga and trying to steal his evil thunder 

-Whose name was Kooga, instead

-Somehow, this works

-Kohga, completely convinced this guy exists, swears him as his arch-rival and vows to find this no-good rotten copycat if he has to search all of Hyrule!

-...That is, if it’s convenient and doesn’t intrude on nap time

-He never does get to the “all of Hyrule” part, but he never doubts Kooga’s existence for a second

-Has woken up in a cold sweat at 3am with a steely glare on his face and one thing on his mind

- “Kooga”
