LINKTOBER DAY 2– Hyrule Castle

I have to split today’s linktober into two because there’s too much stuff to tackle. That aside, here’s some lighthearted shenanigans!

The duo’s looking for the source of the blood moons, and zelda’s finally mustered the courage (and annoyance) to poke around within the castle’s bowels. This is great, because she and link have stumbled across a goldmine of ancient murals older than even the ancient sheikah’s catalogued history. Cheers, zelda!

Also all zelda stuff from me!

i designed a sheikah outfit for josha like purah and robbie. they gifted it to her, but josha added the depths elements later because no one tells the president what to do.

i wanted to keep it in line with the modern sheikah's sense of style, with some allusions to their past ninja antics, hence the bandages and assassin's creed hood. all the better to slip out of lookout landing undetected. strict parents make sneaky kids, purah!

I see so many people joke how Purah found the secret to immortality and didn’t even share it with Impa or Robbie and, while I think it’s funny, let me raise you this: Purah has trauma from the Great Calamity that has stunted her in the past

So hear me out. We know that Age of Calamity isn’t really canon but we can assume some things from it are, such as Purah and Robbie’s roles and personalities before everything happened. Purah was seen to be very aloof and maybe even too confident in their skills to stop Calamity Ganon, to be fair they had everything prepared and ready to stop it so why wouldn’t she be. But when things didn’t go to plan and the Great Calamity happened, hundreds of lives were lost, especially those who worked close with Purah like the champions, Link, and Zelda. This affected her greatly, causing her to realize what was really at stake and giving her a fear of death.

In the time after the Great Calamity, Purah began working on figuring out immortality, especially as she got older. She presented the idea to Impa and Robbie, hiding her true intentions under the guise of it ensuring they’d be there to help Link and Zelda when the time came. They both refused, as they had come to peace with the passage of time. This drove a bit of a steak between the three of them, which is why we don’t see them interact in Breath of The Wild

I believe in the events after Breath of The Wild and before Tears of The Kingdom Purah grappled more with her fears and trauma, especially after reconnecting with Impa and Robbie. They aren’t the same people she believed them to be before the Great Calamity and she isn’t either. I think Purah’s relationship with Josha is evidence of her accepting fate, passing down her knowledge to a successor

So yeah, I think Purah has more going on than just not wanting to share immortality :)

okay, but like.

i have not been able to stop thinking about how being trans works as a gerudo. bc i hate myself apparently.

like i don't think they count trans masc people as the "once in a thousand years" thing, bc it isn't mentioned. so i think being born "male" is a biological sex assigned at birth thing. but if the amab person transitions, then i think they just act like it never happened (yes this justifies a headcanon of mine, what of it).

so maybe they just have to leave town when they come out. which is tragic in its own way, and would be an interesting conflict to explore. like they'd never see their family again unless they leave town to visit. or they'd have to dress up in drag, or not be out to most of town except for a select few (obviously the voe clothing store is a safe space, and its how she makes money making them despite being in a heavily guarded city).

then the dreaded question arises: why don't we see any non femme presenting gerudo anywhere, in or out of town?

it could be that the game just isn't showing us them, sorta like the completely new characters (pelican man, sidon's fiance, josha, etc.) weren't anywhere to be found in botw.

also honestly nintendo are just cowards when in comes to representing minority groups with tact, especially in zelda and especially the gerudo.

so though it isn't explicitly anywhere in the game, i believe trans people are in it, until (but tbh even after bc aforementioned cowardice) they flat out say otherwise.

my current headcanons of characters we do see are:

nonbinary josha (all pronouns)

trans woman riju (it's been a thousand years, she could've been amab)

trans masc link (he/they) don't tell me some magic and/or ancient tech shit couldn't get rid of top surgery scars. also idk he's just got the vibe iykyk.

Echoes of Wisdom Headcanon Countdown

༺ Day 72▪︎ 28 Left

After Tears of the Kingdom, Zelda teams up with Purah, Josha, and Robbie (and Link as a test subject) to reconstruct the runes lost with the old Sheikah Slate. Primarily, the runes that are recovered aim towards the priorities of Hyrulean way of life: such as a focus on traveling as well as rebuilding. Zelda utilizes knowledge she gathered firsthand of both Zonai and early Sheikah technology, and soon enough she believes the runes are in enough working shape for her to start teaching the people of Hyrule how to use them! (Learning to use them certainly becomes a bit of a bonding activity for Paya and Tauro, as well).

Josha 🤓💕

[anartweirdosworld]

Link wanted to know just how tall Zelda was now, no matter what Link is always shorter than his princess apparently😅😂

Also, because I’m obsessed with details I actually measured her, Zelda is exactly 12 feet now! Add the antlers and that’s 13 feet

[agoldengalaxy]

sometimes a family is a 150 year old eccentric genius who only uses her brain cells sometimes but is the only reason Hyrule is functioning, a 150 year old genius eccentric who is essentially a mad scientist and has definitely on occasion yelled at people to get off his lawn just for laughs, and their weird 12 year old with an obsession with hell who is definitely smarter than you

MASTER LIST HERE!!

Pssst. HEY. LISTEN!!

I'm alive my lovelies. So sorry for the radio silence for the past few months. I don't know what happened, but it was like this sudden mental block happened and it has taken ages to shake off just enough to post. I have the final chapter nearly ready for 'To Cherish These Moment' and will post that shortly along with my own fic. I highly appreciate the patience, I know my following is small but those who follow for these, thank you!!

In the meantime, here are some memes!!

When you're bored and decide to make TotK Memes, Part Ten (10) cause it's ten (10) images per post!! 🤣😂 Alt text added to all of them.

Original memes used belongs to the original owners! Enjoy!!

💪😎💕

Linktober Day 13. Spirit.

Josha would love to see an actual Poe in person. Imagine the kind of research that would help her with!

Josha is an underrated and overlooked character.

peace and harmony on planet hyrule
