The vibe Gorons give me:

50's makes sense to me. Plenty of my classmates as a teen had parents that age. Rhoam also doesn't look suuuper wrinkled up or frail or anything, just grey

Tbf, people in their 50s-60s don't usually look frail unless they're really sick or had a bad life🥲. That's also been my experience, but it still struck me as a big age difference between Zelda and Rhoam, especially since they're part of a pseudo medieval monarchy

It's a very random question, but I always thought he looked pretty old to have a 16 year old daughter (considering the fate of Hyrule depends on continuing the bloodline of the Goddess, I would assume they wouldn't wait a lot to produce an heir/heiress...)

Gerudo hc

Whenever I read a fic, I always erase the Gerudo look from the games and imagine they're wearing clothes appropriate for the climate... It's just ridiculous that they'd wear so little clothing in the desert, lol. So:

Head coverings

Loads of coverage with light, breathable clothing (for the day)

Thick clothing for the nights

No heels (for god's sake 🫠)

No colourful clothes for the warriors (when they go on missions), only sand coloured clothes

This makes more sense to me, personally, lol.

Haunt me then

[...] Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad!

Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!

Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life!

I cannot live without my soul!

Story of my life

[glitterbuns]

BOTW AU where, after Zelda's mother dies, they send her to live with Urbosa to learn how to unlock her powers

[glitterbuns]

did you know that the rito can’t see well at night?

did you know that they all come home to roost before sunset blankets tabantha frontier like a stage curtain, tucking themselves under each others wings before the night cradles them in her own?

did you know that when a rito is caught in the dark, the first thing they are taught to do is sing, in hopes that another will hear and guide them back to safety?

did you know that the calamity struck hyrule during an apricot-skied evening, and despite revali’s fervour, malice-soaked night had cloaked the kingdom by the time he had made it to vah medoh’s pilot’s chamber?

did you know that, transcending species, the body’s first instinct when frightened in the dark is to attack with desperate ferocity, praying that one hit might just land?

did you know that revali drowned out his own SOS signal with a warbled rito lullaby, because a rito like revali can’t see well at night?

You and I are going to live

[glitterbuns]

this is incredibly important: the bears sit in botw/totk and you absolutely needed to know this

[glitterbuns]

Zelda: the only person who could teach me how to unlock my powers has died and I need the powers to save the kingdom. Please help me

Hylia:

[glitterbuns]

In BOTW people criticised Zelda and doubted she could save them, while in TOTK people love her, trust her and care for her

[glitterbuns]

a pair of travelers who frequent lookout landing. rumor has it that they once changed the fate of hyrule, but those times have long since past. if you ask them, they might teach you a new recipe or two.

thinking abt their future :')

If they make a Zelda movie where the focus is on the fighting I'm going to be so mad

It could be so visually dreamy and nostalgic, with an emphasis on nature, AND colorful (NO grey medieval aesthetic, thanks)... It could explore how tragic it is that Zelda, Link and Ganondorf are doomed to repeat history over and over again and Zelda and Link must suffer for the greater good of the kingdom. The saga's lore has so many opportunities to explore religious trauma, the greys between good and evil, corruption, power, inequality...

I truly fear they might turn it into a grey pseudo-medieval action movie where the big baddie is bad because yes and there's no depth

[glitterbuns]

Now that The Hunger Games are popular again I can't stop thinking about the parallels between BOTW!Zelink and Everlark: in both cases one loses their memories about the other, they lose almost everyone that matters to them, and they have to live with a lot of trauma and grief

Trick or treat!
