I shouldn't have forced myself into this kinshift. I was trying to do it for the Hyrulian holiday, not so that I'm sad.

[linklethehylian]

Tomorrow (May 23rd) is Din's Day! Now, what is "Din's Day"? In my version of Hyrule, it was a holiday of fire and strength. It was a very special day for the Gorons who tended to be sages of fire and big fans of things like sumo wrestling, though all of Hyrule celebrated, the Gorons pretty much owned this holiday the most.

Sadly, after the Kingdom of Hyrule fell to the Calamity, the holiday was basically never the same especially after rebuilding the kingdom over a century later, mainly from a population issue.

But, I can recount that during the golden age of Hyrule, before the Calamity, there were carnivals of strength set up all across Hyrule. They had fun games that tested strength: wrestling matches, thumb wars, cliff races, hammer smashes, etc. during the day and when the sun set, a bon fire where we sung, danced, and prayed to the Goddess Din.

Happy Din's Day to everyone, regardless if you're from the Zelda series or not. 💚🩵

As a "Link" with a transfem canon when everyone collectively says he's transmasc, yeah.

being a transfem version of a male character everyone headcanons as transmasc or cis is a special kind of dysphoria. im in hell this is hell

Hi Linkle! Booted up ToTK again recently and also saw you in my feed and it made me think up a question for you. Do you have a favorite place in Hyrule? Apart from your home, of course. I think "home" is many people's answer to their favorite place, and an excellent answer, but I'm a traveler by nature and I think it'd make for a less obvious answer, so! ^_^ (If you're curious, I like waterside places. Lake Hylia, and Zora's Domain are both wonderful. Even if I have a bias toward Termina instead.)

My favorite place in Hyrule that isn't my home.

Home has 3 answers. My childhood home in Goponga Village, Hyrule Castle/the Royal Guard barracks, and Hateno Village. I'm not allowed to choose these 3...

My favorite places really depend on the activity I wanted to do. Hebra mountain is absolutely great for shield surfing.

If I wanted to relax, I actually really liked Dragonhead Island.

If I wanted to hang out with my "nephew" (Tulin) we hung out outside of Rito Village near Warblers Nest.

For getting ingredients, I would hunt and gather ingredients on Satori Mountain

But for the best views of Hyrule, I sat on the edge of that place where I first stepped out to view Hyrule when I awoke from the Shrine of Resurrection

But one of the places I liked being in most is Zora's Domain. It was quite beautiful and I felt welcomed and at home. (Outside of the Zora elders) My late-girlfriend's family was wonderful and I considered them my family.

I just finished playing through all 3 (released) sources and... Goddesses, I miss my wife and friends so much.

[linklethehylian]

I know I should put this over on @linklethehylian but I'm putting it here.

I made how post-canon me and post-canon Zelda looked in my canon/memories but over on Pony Town because I have no artistic talent.

[linklethehylian]

Ah! This is adorable.

I genuinely don't know if we're from the same canon. Some of this is vaguely familiar, but goddesses, Irida sounds so amazing.

I know for sure that the unicorn in my canon was very shy but also wild. Seeing her north to the woodland stable was a sight to behold. I wish I remembered what she looked like other than from a headshot.

I really love this so much. Thank you guys for sharing! 💚

So as luck would have it... Talking abt alters in a Discord server leads to potentially finding someone from the same part of source!! And in the spirit of potentially confirming that... A break from the norm, and sharing one of our alter's info!! (At least, what we know of them at this point.)

So-!

Irida / Orei, the unicorn of BotW.

Appears as a classical unicorn. (Cloven hooves, chin beard, and lion's tail.) Slight difference in that their horn is curved.

Any pronouns! With specific encouragement to use different ones at any time. (So you'll likely notice shifts between pronouns... It's their preference.)

A wanderer, primarily!! Many fond memories of traveling all over Hyrule, both shying away from people and occasionally revealing itself.

Generally a kind being, but not shy in the face of a fight. Horn was a weapon physically, but could also cast magic from it!

Memories on the events of that timeline are vague. Can't really tell what part she might've had to play in it, aside from a feeling of certainty that she was there for them. (Potentially including the timeskip, but this is also muddled.)

Cannot stress enough that it seems his biggest, most cherished memories were of wandering. Apparently a treasured location/visit was to the Floria area; decent amount of nostalgia for the area, and wanting to revisit it.

That aside: don't know their origins beyond that. "Irida" was picked from "iridescence," which certainly implies some glow and shimmer to their appearance, and we've had thoughts on ties to the Lord of the Mountains, all things considered... But aside on theories, they- themself- haven't talked much about it.

(We've been given the impression that it can talk, but hasn't done so for us, yet. Just a lot of visions and impressions. This makes working out details a struggle, but we're accepting this.)

Specifically recognized that they were a separate being in that I thought we were going through unicorn shifts (kintype appearance), but was quick to realize it was only in regards to BotW era and music relating to it... The defining feature to realizing what was going on in headspace.

Ah, and @ashley-kins / @linklethehylian! Here's the post! :D

[linklethehylian]

I miss... everyone. My family especially: my mother, my father, my wife Zelda, and our son Link.

[linklethehylian]

Randomly remembered that I made stew a few times.

Some swift or endura carrots, some chopped meat, salt, spicy peppers, and stambulb... It made such a yummy stew.

[linklethehylian]

Been thinking a lot about everyone and everything. Between me restoring Hyrule in Minecraft and me playing sources, it's just a lot. I miss home. I miss my friends. I miss my family. I miss everyone.
