something about foreshadowing being more prominent the second time around reading a story but in a way that the meaning is changed forever and you can never view a story the same as you once did before. do you know what i mean.

I know there's a lot of people who like the time shenanigans in regards to time+wars+wind thanks to hyrule warriors

Like wars+time are post hw meanwhile wind is pre hw in linked universe, etc

But I personally like it when wind is also post hw in linked universe cause the fucked up older brother+younger brother relationship with time is so funny

Like tfw u reunite with ur baby bro but it's only been a couple of months for u while it's been 20 years for him and now YOU'RE the baby brother shenanigans

I personally like it even more if time treats wind as his older brother still like

Random dude: hey where are u going

Time, who's like 30+ and 6'0"+: I can't answer that but u can ask my older brother

Wind, who's 13 and like 5'0" being held by the armpits by time to be at the dude's eye level: yes hello older brother here what do u want

transcript:

Ness: Why are you stopping? Go, keep going! Isla: I can't run barefoot anymore. I think I just stepped on a loose needle. Ness: Oh god. Isla: I'm gonna miss it. [exhales] They needed me, and I'm gonna miss it. Sandy: Take mine. Isla: What are you doing? Sandy: Take mine. Isla: They're your dress shoes. They'll never fit. Sandy: Just do it. Isla: Oh my god. Oh my god, they fit! Jackie: Bro, why are your feet so small? Sandy: I have delicate features! Ness: I don't want you stepping on a needle too, get on my back. Sandy: Your legs are- Oh my god. Ness: (overlapping) Get on my back! Isla: Let's go! Ness: Okay. That's the Achilles! That's the Achilles!

ahah hi yeah!! the two most recent wind waker posts grabbed me by the throat and then could NOT stop thinking about it. its making me want to actually finish the game tbh

full disclaimer i havent played wind waker all the way through but. hyrule is said to be submerged underwater, right. thinking thoughts on that being a literal devouring and the corpses from the kingdom being so vast and numerous that it ends up poisoning the ocean

neither have i but you are COOKING here. yes. yes. even if its not physically possible something about the spiritual side of the flood and the metaphysical poisoning as a result of the death and destruction of hyrule's people & land. the sea was not a thing of absolution or healing. it was about destruction it was always about destruction it was about the sacrifice of many for a potential future good it was about last resorts

i don't know whether i believe the great sea is literally poison, i'm more inclined to think it's poison on a spiritual or magical level, but either way it's definitely barren and infertile and. and it's mourning. it's about mourning something you never knew. i'm clawing at the bars of my cage. ganon escaped the sacred realm and laid waste to hyrule and the hero's spirit had departed the timeline. there was no hope for a reincarnation there would be no salvation there would be no saviour. and so the great sea swallowed the world, swallowed hyrule, and ohh gooddddddddd i love the personification in the way you worded this. a devouring. the great sea devoured hyrule. how could it ever bring life when life is what it was designed to consume?
