#then reblogs as purah pad stuff

[askthenewritoelder]

Who ask you the question (in a meta sense)?

Like, is it a group of people, a tumblr-shaped messager or a friendly extradimensional unspeakable horror giving you question and such?

Questions are given to me through our mail system. I have a personal carrier that’s responsible for delivering my letters and documents. He’s……..trying his best.

I was also gifted a Purah pad a while back, but I didn’t really use it until a few months ago. It’s mostly to keep in contact with the others and watch @tulin-sageofwind so he doesn’t do anything insane. Should probably use it more often.

After too many years I've finally realized I can have my nice aesthetic pictures with a short description, plus my enormous background writings by reblogging later. Will wonders never cease.

Various tidbits below cut:

Tiny's armor has been difficult, because I'm trying to combine the Hero's Shade armor with something semi-plausible AND make the aesthetic fit into the world. It's hard! For one thing, his armor looks like no other armor in the game, where did he get it? Odds are pretty good that the developers just put some cool stuff on a reskinned darknut and called it a day, but I am here to overthink things. I'm using some Etruscan influences to distinguish it from Hyrule Kingdom armor (also using Etruscan influences for Ikana... hmmm).

It's probably pretty obvious by now, but the Fierce Deity's Mask just gave young Tiny the abilities of himself as an adult. It's symbolic of him *actually* growing up instead of that weird stunted thing that came out of a seven year coma. People comment a lot on him being unnaturally pretty in Ocarina of Time, but I do creepy better than pretty so OoT adult Link is a weird test tube prettyboy because Fi Just used the prior guy as a blueprint. Sorry dude. She couldn't change his wonderful nose though. Anyways it's interesting that both the fierce deity form and the Hero's Shade are enormous dark-magic aligned armored warriors that shoot projectiles out of their sword even when not at full health! Coincidence?! Probably yes, but not for Bad Moon!

Okay, for Fuzzbutt we have to talk about the mask first. I'm using Celtic inspiration for the Kokiri, and since Ordon is clearly a reference to them they also get the Celtic inspiration (them and the light spirits). So I referenced several Celtic brooches for this.

Originally I had it so that Fuzzbutt could turn into a wolf at will, but that's not really how it works in-game (which involves using the shadow crystal with Midna's help). Now he's both scarred by the wolf transformations making him a very wolfy hylian, and prone to transforming in large concentrations of dark magic (good news though! Dark magic doesn't hurt him!) which is very annoying but heeeeey he's got a great-great-great (???) grampy that knows how to turn curses into masks sooooooo...

I'm thinking Righty's armor (based largely on the hylian armor set) is a padded gambeson (this poor guy is so skinny, they need all the padding they can get) underneath chain mail, underneath something akin to a 1950's hockey sweater. Those things are tough. I've removed the weird leather breast-plate thingy because it just looked uncomfortable to me.

Righty is carrying so many weapons! Lots are modified. They include Sheikah throwing knives, a Zonai electric sword fixed up by Purah, and a Zora sword gifted from king Sidon. Awwww. It's funny to imagine the big fish still being extremely supportive of this walking cyborg corpse because Hylians all look kind odd to him anyways.

I'm removing most of the back scabbards, because it's difficult to pull swords from them. Exceptions include some odd open-scabbard designs (for exotic swords that do not need oiling and cleaning) and Tiny can hold stuff with his vines. It's a cool party trick.

Feel free to ask questions, I don't intend to go as far as making a comic with Bad Moon, but I've put a lot of (too much) thought into it.

I'm also changing some of the lore around, so if you see something that contradicts earlier stuff, I probably changed my mind! I do that! I'm not being paid for this and I don't care!

Reblogging this to add a few things I’ve realized since I first posted this. Zelda had the Purah Pad with her when she fell into the past, yeah? That’s how Link got it when he woke up on the Great Sky Island; she gave it to the Construct before making her choice. So... what I want to know is: why didn’t she think to take a helluva lotta pictures as proof of where/when she was; of who she interacted with? You know, why not take a few pictures of her ancestors, both of Rauru and Sonia and any of their children just to see what they’d look like? The original Sages; specifically without their masks? Or what about various locations of how the world looked, (imagine an image of the Great Deku Tree of this era as a Sprout or even that he hadn’t been ‘planted’ there yet, it might even be that the Lost Woods had been in a different location before the next Tree, while still a Sprout, decided to move like how a dandelion does it! Or how about Zora’s Domain, I doubt it looked the same then as it does ‘now’ or even Goron-dia before the Gorons moved to the surface?) between when she was and when she came from? Just to see how much had or hadn’t changed to pass on to Purah and/or Robbie because, you know, she’s living the history instead of trying to uncover/rediscover it? Like shit, the frickin photo taking feature is disabled until you get to the quest regarding exploring the Depths for the first time so... yeah. Granted, it’s most likely Nintendo’s way to make sure no one accidentally Spoils themselves about certain stuff before the relevant information could be gleaned from the story/quest regarding it but I mean, c’mon! Zelda’s a scientist and scholar in her own right, you’d think she’d want to give Purah and Robbie some things or ‘proof’ to go ga-ga over if she had the chance right?

Need to know

Is anyone else just tickled pink and put in a giggly mood when going through your album to delete pics that are no longer relevant or wanted or needed that the three pics Zelda takes with the Purah Pad has Link in the foreground of the third one? That she didn’t get all scientifically huffy with him and tell him to get out of the way so she had a clear shot of the mural? Just ‘click’ and she has a pic of him from the back for however long she damn well wants? Cause I am!! Every time! I’ve yet to delete those photos and I don’t think I ever will. Just wondering what she was planning to do with that pic later once all was said and done if all the bull hadn’t happened. Why did you let Link unknowingly stay in the pic Zel? Why?
