#the maps are not 100% accurate in size/the amount of towns/cities

[storiesfromvoturn]

Ostryn is the second largest continent and is primarily heavily forested with thick jungles and a portion of it made up with steep, snowy mountains. The capital city of Shimmerbourne is almost on par with that of Helimire in the history and mixed culture even while being a fraction of the size of the city. Seated nearly in the center of Ostryn it's comfortably protected by the surrounding jungles and in general, is fairly peaceful.

In the snowy mountains there is a large man made tunnel connecting one side of the continent to the other so individuals do not have to take the time of dealing with the harsh environment that is the mountains. There are individuals who come to the area to do exactly that, a little competitive to see who can get the farthest, or fully up and over and down the other side. With this type of thing happening, there are typically magic users with the ability to transport individuals who don't make it all the way there to return them to the bottom. Though a rare few have gone without and succeeded in doing the entire trek if they were well equipped.

Big question. I need your opinion on something. If Mipha was never saved, and Vah Ruta was never calmed, what effect would it have on Hyrule. We know that it will flood, however I doubt the Shiekah would have the ability to create water from nothing (like to gods) so I just assume they are teleporting so the ocean won't rise. With this in mind, none of the major settlements would really be affected. Gerudo Town is far enough out of the path that the river would take through lake Hylia, Riti Village is also out of the way, and not only does it have a natural moat (if you could call it that) but also a canyon in the way. Korok Forest has magic and a moat and is also out of the way, Goron City is also to high up and out of the way, Tarrey Town is really highup and out of tge way, Zoras domain has pretty good drainage and it will probably go through the several other exits to not cause that muc damage, Kakariko Village is safe in the mountains, Hateno Town is safe and out of the way, and Lurelin Village is also out of the way and won't be damaged unless the ocean floods.

WOO LET’S FLOOD A CIVILIZATION AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

**Zelda meter is the meter system of objmap.zeldamods.org, but in accordance with previous posts I'm gonna convert it later to "actual" meters that I think is more realistic. You’ll see why later.

ALRIGHTY, SO LET’S START WITH MEASURING TIME!

So, East Reservoir Lake is 545 zelda meters long (light blue) and 340 zelda meters wide (blue)

Or if we want to see it as more of a circle, it has a radius of 239 zelda meters

Rutala Dam itself is 30 zelda meters wide and 140 zelda meters across. (see purple)

Taking a picture and using an online ruler, I found that the damn is roughly 123 zelda meters tall. (1 cm equal to 17.5 zelda meters by using the 140zm measurement)

Technically speaking, the dam's depth is infinite in the game, so we'll just use this damn's height as the depth.

And before you tell me that I should count the height of the rocks that the damn sits on top of as part of the depth, I'm gonna say not because dams typically block preexisting waterfalls, and given the rounded erosion of the rocks here, I would say that is also the case. Therefore, this was a waterfall that fed into the Rutala River and is not counted for the reservoir's depth.

So, in summary:

Reservoir Length: 545zm

Reservoir Width: 340zm

LW Reservoir Surface Area: 185,300zm (That is only 0.1 zelda kilometer. For comparison, the 45th largest reservoir in the world, Capivera Dam [last place on Wikipedia list] is still 515 square kilometers. The largest ones being in the 60k areas. I’ll come back to this point later.)

Reservoir Radius: 239zm

(pi)r^2 Reservoir Surface Area: 179,451zm2 (179zkm2) [Just got these numbers of surface areas to demonstrate they're practically the same whether you see it as circular or rectangular. I think the circle will be more accurate so going forward I will be using it as my basis for calculations]

Dam Length: 140zm

Dam Height: 123zm

Dam Width: 30zm

The Total Water Rutala Dam Holds Back: 22,072,473zm3 [Instead of just using the sphere volume formula or the LWH formula, I used my more accurate surface area made with the the radius and multiplied by the dam height(is that the,,,cylinder formula? I think so)]

Rutala Dam is supposed to be the largest reservoir in Hyrule, shown very prominently on the map. The largest reservoir(by surface area) in our world is Lake Winnipeg, with a surface area of 24,514 km2, (but only has a depth of 12 meters.)

But here it is on a map of Canada:

To reiterate, Lake Winnipeg has an area of 24,514km, and with zelda meters, East Reservoir Lake has an area of 179.

“BUT KIP! MAYBE EAST RESEVOIR LAKE IS JUST REALLY REALLY SMALL, HYRULE IS PRETTY SMALL ISN’T IT?”

Ok, so comparing the reservoir to one of the the largest, if not THE largest, settlements in the game, Zora’s Domain, we can see that the reservoir is several times it’s size.

But you’ll also note that Zora’s Domain has a diameter of 234zm. That, the entire city, the entire DOMAIN of Zora. 234 zelda meters. Manhattan is 21,100 meters long. Manhattan, by the way, is a fifth fraction of the New York County, which is the smallest county in the United States of America.

234 zelda meters, that’s an area of 43,005zm2. Do you know what else is aobut 40k meters squared in real life? Your nearest Walmart. Just a bit bigger than your local Tesco. Supposedly the entire Zora population, that has been untouched by the 100 year apocalypse and arguably had room to GROW over this time, is living in a Trader Joes.

So I hope this illustrates why I’m converting the zelda meters used on the website to something that I think would be more realistic in the realm of Hyrule. You can find my very loud and kinda embarrassing but factual! and old post about the conversion here, same link as at the top, but essentially just trust me on the conversation that 1zm is equal to 30 real-life meters.

New Realistic Measurements:

Reservoir Length: 16,350m or 16.35km

Reservoir Width: 10,200m or 10.2km

LW Reservoir Surface Area: 166,770km2

Reservoir Radius: 7170m or 7.17km

(pi)r^2 Reservoir Surface Area: 5,383,530m2 or 5382.53km2

Dam Length: 4200m

Dam Height: 3690m

Dam Width: 900m

The Total Water Rutala Dam Holds Back: 19,865,225,700m3 or 19.8 million cubic kilometers of water AKA 19.8 billion kiloliters AKA 5.2 trillion gallons o’ agua

Now THAT sounds more like the biggest dam in all of Hyrule. In fact, it adds up with the stats of the largest dam in our world(by gallons held), that is, the Three Gorges Dam.

The Three Gorges Dam, located in China, ALSO holds back 5 trillion gallons of water/19 billion cubic meters. Although it is a lot shorter than Rutala’s measurements--I think the amount of water that it holds back will be a perfect guide to see the devastation that Rutala’s potential breakage could cause on Hyrule.

There actually is a simulation online about what would happen if the Three Gorges Dam collapsed but I’m not gonna link it cause it might be a bit too distressing, but just know that I based this on that simulation.

Firstly, the biggest sigh of relief comes from the Samasa Plain.

The plain is very very low and slopes down into the Lanayru Bay, so a lot of the water would empty into there. However, the plain would then be totally submerged, so RIP to the shrines and ruins around there. Areas in red as submerged and areas in green would become islands or marshes.

And with that, the water level of Lanayru Bay would rise drastically. Blue is the new water level, dark green are islands, and light green are potential wetlandish areas that would form as time passed.

But basically, Rutala river would have a new branch that spills directly into the Lanayru Bay.

So now you may be thinking,

“HEY KIP THAT’S NOT SO BAD! MOST OF IT SPILLS OUT INTO THE BAY SO IT’S NOT A LOT OS DESTRUCTION! YAY!”

And you’d be half right.

Yes, a lot of the water is going to spill out over Samasa Plain and yes, Lanayru Bay will house a lot of it. But here’s the kicker.

It’s a bay.

Not an ocean.

It would take 1.25zkm or 30km for the water to make it’s way to the ocean, and the water will be traveling SUPER fast--about 100 kilometers per hour.

And that water wants to move, it wants to flow, and Lanayru Bay cannot help all that water flower because:  It’s shallow as fuck.

This chest shows the deepest point in all of Lanayru Bay.

I dropped a windcleaver down in the water: and using a generous GENEROUS estimate of 2 feet per second given the conditions of the still water in the bay--It took 5 seconds for it to float to the bottom. 10 feet. 3 meters. That’s just barely deeper than the deep end of a backyard swimming pool.

But even being extra EXTRA generous and using a real world estimate: Bays would be around 14 feet deep, roughly 4 meter. And we can be even more generous and say the sounding mountains can accommodate 30 feet of height. 9 meters. 9 + 4 = 14 meter height times 30km by 10km(width) = That’s 4.2 cubic kilometers, or 4.2 billion kiloliters of the 19.8 billion kiloliters in total.

uh oh. wheres the other 15.6 billion kiloliters of water gonna go?

It’s like taking a firehose, and filling up a bathtub. Yeah, the tub’s gonna catch a lot of that water, but that firehose has way, way, way, more water than that tub can hold, and when the tub can have a leak or hole on it, but the rate that that hose is going is astronomically faster than the rate the tub can expel water, so it’s just gonna overflow and water will still spill everywhere

[And this isn’t even taking into the account that Rutala Dam is SIGNIFICANTLY higher that it’s surrounding landscape, and would pour into the river with such a force that it could cause a giant tidal wave and break through the rocky boundaries of the pre-existing Rutala River causing even more water to flow into the bay]

Lanayru Bay would be occupied with a lot of water, and since the other 15.6 billion kiloliters of water can’t immediately flow into it, it’s gonna take the scenic route through Rutala River. It’s high mountains on either side basically just make it a death funnel.

Here’s how that would look:

This is the new water level for the Lanayru Wetlands. MAn they weren’t lying, those lands do be wet.

so yeah everything is submerged in between 10 to 20 meters of water and you might be thinking

“WELL KIP, I THINK THAT’S NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL! AT LEAST NO MAJOR LANDMARKS WERE DESTROYED AND NO ONE WAS HURT!”

Well, bestie, here’s the thing. This length of land is 3 zelda kilometers long. AKA 90 kilometers long. And you might recall, I said, that this, 3000 meter tall  wall of water was traveler at 100km per hour. Well the good news is, my calculations are a lot easier for this as this large stretch of flat Lanayru Wetlands land lines up perfectly with the flat areas of Yichange, (which was actually traveling at twice the speed compared to Rutala because it didn’t have Lanayru Bay to open up into)  

But the bad news is, the video is five minutes long, and this is just the first 50 seconds. This water is destined to travel 400 kilometers. That’s about half of the country of Wales, by the way. The entire length of the state of Virginia.

Here’s the rough path of the total flooding that other 16 billion kiloliters from Rutala Dam

Oh, and what’s worse is that the rivers in central Hyrule? Yeah they’re like HALF the depth of Lanayru Bay so the flooding will be even WORSE :D

So here’s the new waterlevel map!

Overtime, a lot of the water is gonna spill onto the paths through Central Hyrule, new swamplands, creeks, etc. etc. The path to the Gerudo Desert will be fin initially, as the water as slowed to the point where it won’t put immediate damage since the bridge is so high. But that new water level plus the influx of water from the River of the Dead is definetly gonna erode that over time and maybe possibly will just collapse and prevent anyone from leaving or entering the desert.

Hyrule Castle will be even more of an island, as the two islands to the left and right of it will be moslty submerged. Also the entire path through Eldin is just fucking done. Everyone in Akkala and Eldin? You’re trapped there. It’s basically a new Lake Hylia but no bridge. Sorry Robbie.

Oh, and also these rapid waters are carrying the debris of it’s destruction, whether the corpses of travelers or giant rocks that it broke off from the side of mountains. So everything is a mess, and depending on the amount of debris, it could completly alter water paths to go even more in land. The rivers are shallow enough, so just pilling in more rocks and dam metal and dirt just makes things shallower

Lake Hylia will be fine, the mini islands are gone, but as a whole, the bridge and the height of the surrounding ridges will keep the water in there. Although a lot of Necluda is basically a goner, and the bridge on either end of Dueling Peaks is totally decimated.

So what did we learn?

All of Hyrule’s economy is fucked. Every major trading path--gone. It’s basically gonna breed even more ethnocentricism, and a bunch of wildlife and sources for food are gone. And not to mention the climate, that’s gonna be fucked too as years pass. Rito and Zora will probably be the most fine? Hylians are fucked though, we destroyed like five stables and basically every river setllement there is. Oh and that influx of water is gonna fuck with the fishes so Hateno and Lurelin aren’t totally out of it either!

Gerudo? Well good thing they’re all lesbians because they sure aren’t going out to woe anybody once those stone pillars holding the bridge give way to the new water levels. Gorons will actually not even know anything’s wrong if I’m being honest. Sheikah? Well that point by Eagus Bridge and Sarhasra slope is gonna connect into a river at some point so I guess they can be a fishing village now.

Oh an RAIN I didn’t even think about that, yeah people are totally gonna die. And if Ruta CONTINUES to pump water into Hyrule (because again, this is only from an INITIAL burst of the damn. Well...

Zora’s Domain will be gone within the year. Water levels will just continue to rise, probably take on Central Hyrule first, but then after that the Gerudo Canyon. Also if flooding in Zora’s Domain REALLY continue it would probably spill over and destroy Tarrey Town. So not good all around!

But I think the main takeaway that we can all settle with is that the Flower Lady and her garden are absolutely, positively, dead.

Welcome to Leaking Tarps, Pt. 1A

The bleached photograph made Angela conscious of her age, of how much time had passed – and what an exciting life she’d had. In a box full of crumpled letters, unsorted, and messy alphabetical wonders; a photograph of her with her fiancée is nothing more than a piece of paper with a digital drawing on it. She sighed as she put it back to where it belongs. She lights up the campfire to create a warmer shelter for the night; she once was a doctor, Angela once saving people’s lives, now with only a campfire in a barrel, she could only fold her hands tight to avoid the frigid weather. It has been several days since the lights went out and people are panicking like crazy. They thought when the lights out, there’ll be a catastrophic event that led many people died in their brethren’s hands. Angela would rub her chin and wonder if people lost their minds about love. Or was it something else? The box quickly entered her bag as she reloads her pistol, looking for another pack of supplies for the night.

It was six a.m.. The sun shines brightly, gives hope, dream, and another kill. The box creates a loud, jiggling sound that everyone can hear from tens of meters away, to make sure her safety is guaranteed 100 percent, she puts the box under the bridge and starts to search for supplies in downtown. Angela got only three bullets for today’s killing floor; she can never rely on this cursed weapon all day, all night. It’s a strange moment in the northern hemisphere to have the sun shines that bright. She approached an abandoned house with all of its furnishings intact. A candle stood there with its wax, still dimly lighting the room; to begin her second week of the survival of the humanity, there’s a dead body.

Today’s going to be interesting. Angela thought to herself as she searches the body for a small amount of ammunition or a waterskin. She founds another photograph instead of what she’s looking for, she gave it a look for a second and narrowed her eyes, there’s a number 17 and a cross inside a circle on the picture that correlates with an empty, blue, plastic barrel. Knowing that this image is interesting enough for a doctor like her, Angela pocketed it and went outside. She walks carefully and cautiously, observing her surroundings and found nothing but carcases of humans, beasts, and animals alike.

What she didn’t know is she began the day two hours ago with a sharp pain in her head and her neck, and she didn’t have any idea where it came from. She is waking up under that bridge that night feeling unconscious. All that she remembers from the last session of her conscious stage is she is running from a mob of undead, got her head smacked into a bent street lamp pole and off she goes falling off beneath the bridge. What a rotten luck. She chuckled and remembered the whole thing about what happened last night, slowly.

Drifting through the unscribbled streets of an Unnamed Town, with all of its contents like dead bodies, several happy families that seem to plunder everything, a horde of undead, and a mob of corrupted man and woman. Unnamed Town has been a pleasant journey for all of its visitors, with the Ancient Waterfall as their main tourist attraction, not to mention several huge art galleries scattered in this little settlement. Aside from that, the Unnamed Town seems to host many, many hospitable community members and peoples, continuously helping those who in need, be it a neighbour or even a complete stranger that just wander around town last night. Unnamed Town has many undiscovered talents, hundreds of them in one Texas-sized city. Those who born in Unnamed Town is either rich enough to live like kings, quite average to taste the upper-middle class dishes, and unfortunate enough to appreciate the praise of art collectors and critiques.

Angela enters the gun shop for any ammunition left by its owners, kicking through dead bodies and rotten stench of the undead makes the search even more painful to bear in her mind. She founds a good, factory new, automatic shotgun. It’s the newest shipment, coming through town for maybe two or three days before the blackout. The owner didn’t want to sell this baby girl. Angela told herself and inspected the shotgun. It uses .12ga shells and if you talk about this bad boy of a bullet, in the Unnamed Town – everything as expensive as .12ga is rare. The 12 Gauge itself is the second most powerful shotgun shells available in Unnamed Town, due to the rarity of its kind, many people decided to ship it from nearby cities, notably the Fredericksburg, known as “The Gunsmiths.” These “Gunsmiths” don’t play nice with people outside the town of Fredericksburg and the Unnamed Town, so Angela thought that to get a pretty neat deal with the Gunsmiths is the best thing she can do to ensure her survival rate at this point.

It is very unusual for her to sleep at eight a.m. but finding the gun shop is safe enough for resting her body, head, and her sanity. She dreamt about laying on the grass with her fiancée, somewhere outside Unnamed Town, wind swaying their hairs as they danced on the grass field. They run across many mountain flowers and beautiful butterflies, and it sounds like heaven until she tried to chase that dream, forlorn. She keeps running and running through that thought and finally awaken by a poke.

Angela gasped. “Who... who are you?”

The man replied. “Nothing to worry, I just a survivor trying to book it out of here.”

“Thank God you weren’t undead.” Angela sighed in relieve. “So, who are you?”

“As I said, I am just a survivor. My name is not that necessary for you to know.”

“Alright. Where are you heading to?” Angela asked the man while giving him her spare waterskin.

The man took the waterskin and drinks a bit from it. “Well, the news about the Gunsmiths is accurate. They are defending themselves from a constant attack from anywhere, probably bandits. These bandits aren't your regular ones, and they are who can craft anything out of something. They called themselves the Forge. Its leader is undoubtedly the descendant of the famous blacksmithing family, Raeder Forge. Now, you can guess where they got their name, right?” The man took another sip and returned it to Angela. “Thanks for the drink.”

“I see, now, what would you like to inform me?” Angela asked. “Sure, glad I can help.”

The man reported. “Well, the Gunsmiths, led by a man named Norman Fire-Serpent wants everyone from Unnamed Town, preferably alive to aid them against the Forges. If you fancy gunfights, I’ll be at their front entrance to make sure you’re not with the Forge on your way to Fredericksburg.”

Angela nodded. “Thanks, I’ll be in touch with you. Good luck.”

The man stood up and make a run for it. “You too, whoever you are.”

As soon as the man walks out from the gun shop and book it out of there as quick as he could, Angela stays for a little more time to see if she can find another set of ammunition for the shotgun. She also didn’t forget to barricade the whole place to make it a little safer... for now. Angela finds herself in serenity when it comes to inscribe and to ruin walls with words of hopelessness or words of wisdom. She wrote Angela was here. That’s a funny one, and she continued it with poorly-drawn Unnamed Town’s skyscrapers and wrote underneath it.

God Put Mercy. Have a faith. With a bouquet of flowers underneath the sentence.

Angela found an old sniper rifle laying on the floor and use it as her primary weapon for picking off the undead from top of the gun shop, alas, she got only one bullet. She sighed and facepalmed and went back down, re-barricading everything for the night. Whatever Angela did for herself will likely to have greater consequences of getting killed, plundered, or even taken as a slave by the local bandits. Angela went back up to the rooftop, and she risked it anyway. She took a shot, and the bullet penetrates up to four undead behind the first one. One shot, five kills. Angela boasted while pulling the bolt backwards. Angela went down to the gun shop, trying to make a makeshift camp for the night with camouflage nets, ghillie suits, and set up a night vision binoculars to scout for anything useful. Although the lights went out since the dawn of the undead, she still has her phone on her hands and a few camcorders.

Angela cautiously put all the recording devices all around the gun shop. During the night, she couldn’t get sleep. The groans, the grunts, the gurgles of the undead made her uneasy. Later that evening, she cautiously awake from her slumber to see the wandering undead among a hundred lying dead in the streets and the rubbles of the Unnamed Town. It’s still 02:00 a.m. and the grunts of that undead is getting louder and louder. In between her sanity and questions that never answered, she feels pity about those who turned into such beast. Preying on the lesser ones, praying that this curse will end – or at least someone put out their misery. She uses the night vision binoculars to observe more and more undead that come into her sight, the situation is nothing more than depressive, and it was hell. A living hell. For either Angela and the Undead. For the greater good of the undead, she prayed and continue to sleep – hoping that with sleeping she could get rid the hellish look of what she saw earlier. Fredericksburg may only 10 miles far, but to get there – it requires a helluva luck and critical thinking. Well, since then, Angela didn’t know that the Unnamed Town, her residence is a part of a bigger city called Yanksborough. A Texas-sized city, well known as the Leaking Tarps to the survivors.

Welcome to the Leaking Tarps, Angela. I hope you survive another day. Angela said to herself after looking a wanderer-made map.

She gave a look to the map. She saw four cities, and it’s all connected to the Unnamed Town. She only knows Unnamed Town, her residence, and the Gunsmiths of Fredericksburg – the only known blacksmith city that sells many weapons and knives alike. The other three were Macbury, Orefield, and Brimchester. The three known as Patient Zero for Macbury, the Medieval for Orefield, and No Man’s Land for Brimchester. There’s also a side note on the map.

“Never go to the No Man’s Land where you coming from Patient Zero, and don’t dare to travel to the Medieval when you’re from Gunsmiths. The Unnamed Town (Leaking Tarps) is the safest place of all.”
