#and a lot of Zelda specifically

[mzcain27]

The worst genre of like podcasts and YouTube channels and whatever is where they’re like “welcome to our podcast about *thing* we LOVE *thing* it’s our favourite thing to talk about we love it sooooo much and we can’t wait to discuss it with you guys” and then they just talk about how much they hate everything about it all the fucking time

I've seen a lot of people cross tagging lately, so this is just a gentle reminder that Jojo has asked us not to put Linked Universe content into the main Legend of Zelda tags

Zeldohna for the Zeldohna nation!!!

Another installment of I shouldn’t share this but I’m going to with minimal context. One of the panels from the comic WIP from the other day fully rendered.

I’ve fully rendered it three times and not been pleased with it at any of those points but oh well. I’m ready to move on.

I recently started playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the first time because I remembered I had it. Aside from having no idea what I'm doing half the time, it's pretty fun so far!

I think general Legend of Zelda fans should start tagging their stuff with Linked Universe to catch some of that clout.

If literally every single Legend of Zelda tag is just full of only lu stuff anyways, to the point some of them have more lu in them than Zelda, might as well get something out of it in return.

Not like any lu fans should mind crosstagging, after all.

notes on past and future link

[autumnoakes]

thinking about the inevitability of botw.... idk, there's something about how calamity ganon was only able to be defeated after he pretty much won. the champions all lost, and DIED the first time around. they were not set up for success. the calamity was a perfect storm - everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. the guardians and divine beasts were taken over by malice and turned against the kingdom. the champions all faced blights specifically designed to ensure their deaths. the hero fell trying to keep the princess safe. the kingdom fell into disrepair after the princess sealed herself away with calamity ganon to protect what remained. but after link woke up, freed the divine beasts... only then did they win against the calamity. it sort of feels like the calamity HAD to happen in order for it to be defeated.

and again, in a way, this led to the events of totk. because ganondorf CREATED calamity ganon. and it didnt take anything at all for him to wake up again. link and zelda just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Father of Time 2: The Ganondorf War Chapter 5: Night of the First Day

Despite having spent several days trapped in a dream, Link found himself spending most of that first day of freedom napping on and off.  When he wasn't sleeping, he was eating, cheerfully enabled by Kafei and a seemingly endless pot of stew. When Saria returned that morning, trailing a smiling Dustin with a plate full of food, Link ate just as much as he had at his first breakfast and the Kokiri teased him about his endless pit of a stomach.  Malon scolded her but Link laughed, a spark of warmth settling in his stomach that had nothing to do with the meal.  It was normalcy and that's what he needed.

Occasionally the dream would drift back into his mind and he'd huddle in on himself, trying not to dwell on the life he might have had with Zelda, the one he no longer wanted, and Malon would wrap her arms around him when she noticed, muttering comfort.  That was something he needed as well and Nocturne had known that before Link had, which was why their first stop had been to the ranch.  The young hero wasn't the only one who experienced growth in the past four years.

i think knowing a character’s personality type is useless if you don’t understand their beliefs. how/if they would defend their understanding of things, where these kinds of ideas came from, and what could possibly challenge them/change their mind are what get tossed out when the cookie cutter effect kicks in. imo

watched a majora's mask analysis earlier today with my fiancee. my verdict is that I actually really enjoyed the op's interpretations, but that I wished that they talked more about mm's literal level and what one can get from it, rather than talking about those events as if they are strictly metaphor. yes, of course the metaphorical layer of the game is rich to dig into, but it's also such an open-ended and surreal game that it's difficult to nail down every single distinct metaphor that can be derived from its events. which is why I consider it necessary to discuss the way the literal layer presents itself and what sort of motifs and ideas exist there as a baseline before you begin looking at it as metaphor

thinking about how wind waker link’s first adventure had him controlling the winds to get around, it being his biggest strength in braving and traversing the seas, and in his next adventure he finds himself on a ship that does not at all require the wind for anything

[passerinesoncaffeine]

the irony of one the first main things established about omori as a character is that he's known for his great memory as if he hasn't lost the entire fucking plot repeatedly for years.

like he has a great memory!! if you don't take into account He's Actually The God Of Repression.
