DEAR FISH FUCKERS, YOU’RE WELCOME

I’ve done what no other has done before (to my knowledge) and found the aging system for the Zora! 

Ok so this started as simple research for this ask

See, I misread the phrasing of “best educated guess” to “research for 2 hours and come to a conclusive answer” so anyhow before I indulge you into the answers of the universe allow me to explain the research I’ve come across 

[TL;DR at the bottom]

what if link hadn't nearly died at ash swamp in breath of the wild?

(p.s: dialogue in brackets signifies thoughts.)

Quick thing I put together in a couple days 🌙 🌌

The way you draw Mipha and Link especially from the side is legit the prettiest thing ever. I love your lines, colours and shading. It's so lovely

thank you so much!! I'm super flattered 🥰

[lilimoon-draws]

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

I'm thinking about what happened between Link, Kodah and Mipha that led Kodah to feel so bad about telling Link to choose between her and Mipha.

"A hundred years ago, I asked you... to choose between me and Mipha. I...I'm sorry about that."

–Kodah, Breath of the Wild

According to Sidon, Link spent considerable time with Mipha during visits every so often to the domain, and it made him think that Mipha was being taken away from him. I think perhaps this closeness between Link and Mipha was also noticed by Kodah which likely made her jealous.

"Actually, I recently remembered something...a fuzzy memory from my early childhood. There was a swordsman that came by every so often and spent a considerable amount of time with Mipha. At the time, it felt like he was stealing my sister away from me. I know better now."

–Sidon, Breath of the Wild

King Dorephan also comments on Link and Mipha's closeness.

"But surely you must remember my precious daughter, Mipha, yes? You do, do you not? I cannot believe it... Have you truly forgotten my dear Mipha as well? You and Mipha were so close..."

–King Dorephan, Breath of the Wild

Kodah does not speak negatively about Mipha at all, and I don't think she had ill will for her even back then when she was jealous over Link.

"[Mipha] was the Zora Champion and could heal wounds with ease. We all loved her dearly."

–Kodah, Breath of the Wild

She doesn't elaborate on her nickname for Link and how it came about, but in Tears of the Kingdom, she does mention that she gave it to him in childhood. They were definitely friends as kids like how Link was friends with Mipha, Bazz, Rivan and Gaddison as kids as well.

"You really are amazing, Linn... Uh, Link. You... Um... Argh, enough already! I can't stand it! It feels so cold and unnatural to call you that, as though we're strangers! I thought it would feel weirder to call the hero of the domain by some silly nickname I gave him as a child, but... Oh, whatever! I'm just going to go ahead and call you Linny! Ahhh, yes. That feel sooo much better. You're more than just 'Link' to me. I hope you'll forgive me for using my 'old friend' card for that."

–Kodah, Tears of the Kingdom

She also comments about having bad taste in men...I think she realized that she and Link weren't really compatible perhaps because she didn't have a lot of time with him after childhood and her feelings may have stemmed from admiration for him as a Champion and skilled swordsman rather than a genuine desire for an intimate relationship. She is commenting on her young daughter who only communicated to a Hylian through letters, so it would make sense that she identifies the feelings as immature and shallow. She moved on from Link and I assume that she believes her child will grow up the same way.

"[Finley's] horrible taste in men...it reminds me of a certain someone."

–Kodah, Breath of the Wild

Considering all this, I think Kodah felt very close to Link since childhood, but he spent more time with Mipha as Champions after returning to the Domain with the Master Sword on his back. This turned into jealousy which led her to ask Link to choose between them. Perhaps this was their last conversation together before Link and Mipha fell to the Calamity which is why she feels so remorseful.

I do think that this is what led to Mipha getting cold feet before she intended to propose to Link. My personal belief is that Link would have just done something like shook his head at Kodah since he wasn't a talker. This could have been interpreted as choosing Mipha in Kodah's eyes but not something that would be particularly encouraging to Mipha before she intended to confess.

Furthermore, I am sure that numerous people were aware that Mipha was making the Zora armour even though they didn't know who it was for:

"King Dorephan!! Surely you do not really intend to give this outsider the Zora armor! Countless generations of Zora princesses have gifted that armor to the one they have sworn to marry! Princess Mipha made that one there with her own hands!"

–Muzu, Breath of the Wild

This doesn't mean that Kodah knew about it, but it would definitely be something that would encourage her to butt in between Link and Mipha especially if she suspected that Mipha was going to propose.

So I suspect that Kodah realized that she ruined Mipha's chance before she and Link fell to the Calamity. The guilt she must have felt after all this time...

Happy Memories

[lilimoon-draws]

I have two Mipha related plot bunnies in my mind that I will likely never write but they are fun to think about:

Everyone Lives Except Link AU:

All the Champions survive, Zelda unlocks her powers and seals Ganon away, but Link dies in the battle protecting Zelda from Ganon. Mipha is too late to heal him and is devastated but Zelda suggests that he be put in the Shrine of Resurrection. The world does not need the hero anymore but the Champions can't bear his sacrifice. Years go by and the Champions live their lives until eventually Mipha is the last one alive. 100 years later, she visits the Shrine and notices that it's open and empty, but when she finds him on the plateau, he doesn't remember her or himself or anyone. Mipha and Link go on a journey around Hyrule to honour their friends and help Link regain his memories.

Mipha Survives Within Vah Ruta AU:

The Champions are attacked by the Blights and everything goes as it did in BotW except Mipha survived within Ruta by hiding in the water, avoiding the Blight, healing herself and sustaining on fish that wandered through small gaps in the Divine Beast. Worse for wear and stunted in the rest of her growth, Mipha survives 100 years until Link arrives to free Ruta. Mipha finally sees the sun and her family again after so long. (This is inspired by something King Dorephan says after you defeat Waterblight Ganon where he says some part of him hoped that she was still alive somehow)

...

I won't get around to writing anything involving these, but I needed to share my visions. Both are angsty in different ways but they end up with a happy ending. These are quite barebones, so if anyone feels inspired, don't feel like you need my permission to use these ideas. I would love to see other people's take on it.
