On Awakenings in The Legend of Zelda, Part 3: Can't Fi Just Talk?

In the post On Awakenings in The Legend of Zelda, I argued Zelda awakened by finally demonstrating the courage of a true hero.

In On Awakenings in The Legend of Zelda Part 2: BotW Link, I argued Link needed to awaken in the same way to be able to hear Fi (and that in BotW, that moment would have been just an instant before Zelda awakened).

Why would Link have to be "able" to hear Fi in BotW? Can't Fi just talk?

I think the answer to that last question is "No." Here's why.

Before the awakening scene in the memory on Blatchery Plain, I've already outlined evidence that these two things are true: - Zelda does not yet have access to the Triforce. - Link cannot hear Fi.

This post is mostly about Fi and the Master Sword, but I want to point out one similarity between Zelda and Link in BotW: Zelda wields the Triforce and Link wields the Master Sword. These things are magical artifacts. The artifacts themselves have rules which allow them to be used (or not). These rules may be different from what allows Link and Zelda to access other abilities they have!

I think the exchange above was a hint that Zelda knew, at some point before this conversation, that Link was not yet able to hear Fi.

Can't Fi Just Talk?

There's an assumption I made in the Awakenings 2 post: in order to fully wield the power of the Master Sword and to hear Fi, Link has to be fully aligned with the Triforce of Courage.

Why would I assume that? Others have (correctly) pointed out Fi can simply talk in Skyward Sword. Link speaks to her before he awakens the hero inside him. So... why would it be different in BotW? Here's my evidence supporting that assumption, and much of it is regarding Fi no longer simply being able to talk whenever she pleases.

1.) In Skyward Sword, Others Can See and Hear Fi.

In several scenes in Skyward Sword, other characters can explicitly see Fi. Notably, Headmaster Gaepora is absolutely shocked by her presence and her words when Link first finds the Goddess Sword. The robot Scrapper flirts shamelessly with Fi. Even the Kikwis can see Fi (she frightens them). Zelda can see Fi, too, though that's less surprising.

What does this mean? In Skyward Sword, Fi somehow physically manifests, even if it's as an incorporeal spirit/hologram (I personally think of her as a "hologram" because of her computerized speech, but that doesn't matter for this post - I just find it neat!).

The punchline: Unlike in Skyward Sword, in BotW Fi is merely the 'voice in the sword'--this means something has changed.

2.) In BotW, Zelda explicitly cannot hear Fi unless her power is awake.

WARNING: Spoilers for the 'true ending' of BotW.

In the set of dialogue images above, Zelda asks if Link can hear the voice inside the sword yet. If Zelda could hear it... she could just ask the sword. This strongly suggests she can't hear it.

Then, immediately after Zelda's power awakens at Blatchery Plain, she can hear Fi without doubt.

Above, the Master Sword glows as BotW Zelda hears its voice for the first time.

In that memory, Fi instructs Zelda to take Link to the Shrine of Resurrection to save his life.

Note: there's still no evidence BotW Zelda can actually see Fi the way she's visible as a being in Skyward Sword. All we ever see is a glow.

In the 'true ending' of BotW (the one you get if you find all 13 memories), Zelda says she can no longer hear the voice in the sword. It makes sense to her that would happen if her power had dwindled after 100 years of continuous use. In other words, Zelda stops being able to hear Fi when her reserve of magic power is depleted.

The punchline: BotW Zelda can only hear Fi if she has access to her own magical power. Fi cannot speak to Zelda on her own.

The Princess and the Champions just before the photograph is taken.

3.) There's no evidence at all that any other characters can hear Fi - not even magical ones.

This is evidence of omission, but I believe it's extremely strong. We know of at least five characters other than Link and Zelda in BotW who are powerfully magical, and there's evidence for at least a sixth.

Pre-Calamity, we know Daruk, Mipha, Urbosa, and Revali all have magical power. (Interestingly, they each seem to have come about their power differently, but that's for another post). Based on Impa's monk garb and tattoo in BotW, there's a strong chance she was also magical like the shrine monks (if you take Age of Calamity to be true, she definitely was).

Post-Calamity, we know of only one character with innate magical ability, and that's Yunobo. (The other champion successors--Teba, Riju, and Sidon--show no signs of magic except when Riju wears the thunder helm, which itself is magical).

Not one of these characters speaks a word suggesting they could hear a voice within Link's sword. (One might think Revali'd hide it out of spite, but I doubt it--I think he'd lord it over Link if he could). This strongly suggests none of them hear her.

No non-magical characters say anything about hearing a voice from Link's sword, either.

Punchline 1: Fi does not speak to anyone on her own in BotW!

Punchline 2: Magical power alone is not enough to allow a person to hear the voice of Fi in BotW.

Yunobo flies through the air, blasted from a cannon to strike Divine Beast Vah Rudania. Encased in his magical protection, he'll land unharmed. Fi never speaks to him despite this extraordinary power.

Gathering those punchlines from this section: i.) Unlike in Skyward Sword, in BotW Fi is merely the 'voice in the sword'--this means something has changed. ii.) BotW Zelda can only hear Fi if she has access to her own magical power. Fi cannot speak to Zelda on her own. iii.) Fi does not speak to anyone on her own in BotW. iv.) Magical power alone is not enough to allow a person to hear the voice of Fi in BotW.

Looking at these three punchlines together already leads to some other conclusions.

v.) Even Zelda having magical power is not enough to allow her to hear Fi--she must also meet at least one other requirement.

...leading to the even more critical conclusion:

vi.) Even Link having magical power is not enough to allow him to hear Fi--he must also meet at least one other requirement.

There is some rule beyond having magic to allow interaction with Fi by the time of BotW.

Wow. Strict requirements! Tough to talk to Fi, these days.

You could get away with saying the rule is that only Link can talk to her since he's the only person who can wield the master sword, right? Nope! Zelda hears her, too. So... that's not it.

All this supports the idea that Link needs to be magical to speak to Fi, but also that he did need to be fully aligned with the Triforce of Courage in order to do it - he needed to demonstrate the courage of a True Hero (and see post 2 for that one!).

The Master Sword in its pedestal before Link pulls it post-Calamity.

The next question is, of course... why can't Fi just talk?

But this post got so long, I decided to break it up. So that next bit will be in part 4, which is now out, and you can follow this Link to read it.

------

Edit: One little thing I'd like to add. Some folks asked why I'd expect Fi to talk at all, since the only game she'd spoken in before this was Skyward Sword. The answer? Because Fi does explicitly talk in BotW. She talks to Zelda!

So! Rant!

I've loved RWBY since I started watching during the volume 6 to volume 7 hiatus. Volume 7 was the first I watched live.

I'm still watching it on Crunchyroll. That's not stopping anytime soon. No, I don't support Rooster Teeth any more than I support Disney for having The Owl House, Amphibia, or Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur under their banner.

I stopped buying Ubisoft games after the sex assault scandals at the top came out. I never played League of Legends, and love Arcane as much as the next guy, but am not supporting Riot Games. I may have bought The Witcher 3: GOTY edition at one point, and had Cyberpunk 2077 brought for me as I gift but I haven't played Cyberpunk nor the Witcher 3 at any point recently and don't support CDPR.

I may have been a Harry Potter fan since I was a kid, but JKR's whole descent into bigotry of all flavors turned me off anything past book 7 where HP officially ended. I may have liked Ender's Game, but Orson Scott Card is blacklisted for me when I found out about his rampant homophobia.

As far as other things go, the only problematic thing(s) I have are a Spotify Premium subscription for my phone's music and a Crunchyroll subscription for anime since I have multiple devices I like to watch anime on and piracy wasn't working for me.

Assuming that everyone who may otherwise enjoy things like...I dunno, Assassin's Creed or Watch Dogs or The Owl House or RWBY or something else like that automatically supports the horrendous practices of the corporation that owns in it is not welcome here. Especially if you're like me and you either A) Pirate the thing, or B) Avoid it altogether.

Point being, I believe in Don't Like;Don't Watch. I believe in leaving people in peace to enjoy whatever they may, provided whatever it is doesn't cause real harm or contributes to harm. If you wanna pirate, go right ahead. If you wanna avoid things altogether, please feel free.

I will not judge you either way, as I've done both in the past and continue to do so with certain things. Harry Potter related stuff is on a blacklist, for instance, due to JKR's rampant bigotry and real world harm even if I still kept my books and movies. I can't watch Dave Chappelle's newer stuff either, for another example.

I can always get whatever I need of Watch Dogs or Assassin's Creed by watching a twitch stream or reading the wikis, or the cutscenes on youtube.

Anyhow: TLDR - Don't Like it? Don't engage with it. Pirate if you must, avoid if you must. Pick your battles wisely, as some folk don't respond well to being yelled at.

I'm gonna go read my Legend of Korra comics in peace. Thank you for attending this rant. Have a happy Pinkie Pie for your day.

SECOND CHAPTER (1/7)

∟ J-Hope

[dengswei]

Hii you're so talented!! i wonder if you could explain how you did this gif effect with the squares? and do you have any tips on colouring because yours is always top notch <3333

heyy thank you so much 🥹 and of course! i've never really done a tutorial before but i'll try my best to explain it in a way that makes sense 😅

so i start off with making my two gifs seperatly and colouring them as i normally would, once i've done that i load both gifs into the same project and once i've done all that i started on the grid part:

now go to view -> add guides and this window should pop up:

(it's was so daunting at first when i saw this i was like ????? and started putting in random numbers and was like oh that's how this works 🤣)

here's the settings i used for my gif which is 540px x 500px in size with 5 squares x 4 squares: (if you want more or less you just have to play around with it)

once you've done that it should look something like this:

now the next part is really up to preference again: add a vector mask onto the gif that's above the other one like this: (ignore the name of my folder that is irrelevant 🤣)

and then i used the rectangle select tool (this is because the rectangle select should lock onto the grid squares making it easier to erase certain sections) + a black brush tool to erase the squares to show the other gif that's underneath (you can reposition both gifs to your liking which is what i did)

before & after:

so my vector mask looks like this afterwards

(you don't have to do the squares so close together like i did it was just how i liked it & because of the scenes i had chosen that mine turned out this way)

now onto the grid lines: i used the line tool with these settings

just like with the rectangle select tool the line tool should lock onto the grid line you want to redraw, do this for every line that you want/have for your grid & once you're done go to view -> clear guides and it should look something like this: (added a version with just a black background so it can be seen a little easier)

(i'm ngl idk why my lines ended up kinda faded and not white 🤣 i think it might be because i used a white fill instead of white stroke but it doesn't really matter to me because i got my ideal outcome anyway 🤣)

bonus step: you can stop here if you'd like but i wanted my lines to match my colouring & my intended typography so i put all my line layers into a folder and set the mode to difference & added a yellow fill layer with a clipping mask, like this:

and it should look like this:

you can also play around with the opacity of the lines too which is what i tried out but i prefered for my set the lines being at 100% opacity but it's really up to you with what you want to play around with

now once you're happy with everything merge those layers together (make sure they have the same amount of frames first before merging them) and either save as it is or add some typography like i did and you should end up with this:

for tips when it comes to colouring it really depends on what you're colouring, if you want to manipulate the colours as much as i do i recommend choosing a colour within the scene so you're not having to change too much, or finding scenes that have colours that can be manipulated more easy (any colour that aren't skin tones, unless you're working with red or yellow like i did here, i chose yellow because one of the outfits in the gif was yellow toned and it looked better with the gifset being yellow than my original colour which was blue), also looking for scenes were the people in it don't move as much also is a big help!

i hope this helps :) feel free to ask more questions if you didn't understand or want some more tips i honestly don't mind!
