botw au!martyn stimboard for @loafofryebread!! cottagecore/cooking since i think he deserves happiness for once

[loafofryebread]

yap about botw au NOW otherwise im literally going to die on the spot

Well tumblr user who is defintely NOT dear friend and the cocreator of this au im so glad you asked!

Fairly obviously Ren takes the place of Zelda and Martyn takes the place of Link!!! They are stupid and gay about each other and also expected to save the whole world from The Watcher's return (the calamity ganon equivalent in this).

To do this Ren needs to unlock the ancient powers to seal the darkness (the ability to enchanct the master axe to seal away the watcher), and just like Zelda in botw hes struggling with this a bit (insert weird homoerotic beheading dw about it). On top of that they also recruit champions from each of the four key races to pilot the divine beasts!

This little team is made up of Etho of the roly poly people piloting Vah Darius (deer). Bigb of the fairy folk piloting Vah Omryo (mole). Skizz of the wolf people piloting Vah Naiduh (bear). And Impulse of the desert people piloting Vah Raya (snake). We still need to come up with proper names for the races rip 😭

The Watcher returns far sooner than expected and if you know anything about botw you'll know the battle does not go well and the champions die, Martyn is wounded and put in the shrine of resurrection to heal over 100 years, leaving Ren to face the watcher alone!

100 years later Martyn wakes up, without any memories and with the watcher trapped in the castle with Ren and the world having continued on in their absence. :(( He has to free the divine beasts and save Ren (which is no small ask) all while regaining his memories and trying to piece together what happened :(((

Ren and Martyn also have quite a bit of backstory which I don't want to spoil on tumblr but may or may not be working on a fic for (by this I mean the idea is there I just need to start it)

This au is sooo important to me I love it more than sliced bread and massive shoutout to dear beloved @/mossfeathers for working on it with me <3333

HI you can tell me to go away if u wish but I feel like yapping about botw au and you're my target

So I think ur a genius and the other champions would be the other knights of dogwarts so skizz, etho, bigb and then im thinking either impulse removing the betrayal arc bc I just. Don't think it would fit. Or possibly even joel? And then one of the races can be kinda wild dog people? I'm nest bouncing ideas around rn

As for the races one would defintely some sort of flower/forest fairy nymph guys which is where Scott ajd jimmy would come in <3 the desert people may slightly take the place of the gerudo? And idk what species the crastle would be but if impulse is one if the knights maybe he just hails from there..... I don't think any of the actual enemy dynamics would rlly come into play (e.g. desert people VS dogwarts) but maybe there'd be some resentment there for what happened in the fall....

I think ganon might be some kind of watcher type entity? I think that would fit yk

I COULD just toss them into regular old botw but world building is more fun yk. I think the main similarities would b through structure and atory rather than world building but still with similarities in things like the koroks

^ how it feels to get an ask about an au in your inbox (I LOVE TALKING ABOUT BREATH OF THE WILD THANK YOU)

There's always the possibility to just remove one of the champions entirely, but since 4 is a nice number I think having Impulse and keeping him loyal is the best option? If you want to keep his traitor thing, it could be that he was a little bit traitorous (maybe secretly supported Ganon or an uprising from the Gerudo?) in the past, just way before the battle 100 years before Martyn wakes up. Just a tidbit of Impulse backstory.

Joel being the 4th champion just doesn't make a lot of since bc he was allied with the red kingdom for all of 5 minutes or something lmao. I do think the idea of a dog-people race would be cool though! Maybe they live somewhere around the lost woods? I think Joel just being a really really wolf-obsessed soldier (like beetle) that just trains all day and night to join the wolves or fight with the fury of the wolves or whatever (kinda like that torch guy) would be really funny and work equally well tho. Hes just a furry /silly

I think crastle people could be from Lanayru for no reason other than I think it just kinda fits their vibes, but I wanna know what you think since I don't have any strong ideas lol

Flower fairy flower husbands is perfect I think unless there's an animal species that would work for them? I'm thinking that whatever they end up being, Bigb could be the same species since they were from around the same place on the 3l map.

I know you said you didn't really want to play too heavily into the actual team relations, but there's the possibility of having Grian + Scar be part of the Yiga or some au equivalent, being based in the desert and opposing the monarchy and all. Just an idea though, I think we're both just throwing out whatever might work lol.

Ahhhhhhh worldbuilding is so exciting :DDD this au is already taking over my brain

^ little doodle of martyn seeing a korok for the first time
