#hwaoc dlc

hey man what if there wasn’t even a fortune teller cult at all what if Astor just made those Astor Clones for his fucked up Calamity Party because he’s a dramatic little bitch

My toxic trait is that i genuinely love hyrule warriors with all my heart and think it is genuinely the best warriors games out of the ones i've played.

Once again - okay, but WHY Tulin?

He was a set piece in BOTW. Just sort of there to give Teba some depth of character. I only found out about him when he started showing up in fanworks. In AOC, he's not even in the main game, just the DLC, where I asked the same question of: why Tulin? (BTW, if you think AOC felt like a wish-fulfillment fanfic, then the DLC is 'hold my beer') All the other missions made sense in the established setting of AOC, but Tulin showing up was the one that really broke my suspension of disbelief. But that's another post.

Which brings us back to TOTK. Why have Tulin be the Rito companion? We already know the New Champions (or at least, Champion Hopefuls) from BOTW. They're bringing Sidon and Riju back, why not bring back Teba too? (I presume Yunobo will show up too, and I'll tell you why in a second) Why remove a popular character and replace him with his son?

Because TOTK seems to be about the new era of Hyrule. It's being rebuilt, it's setting aside the past it had been trapped in while Calamity Ganon was still a problem. It's the new generation of Hyrule, starring the descendants (or relatives) of the previous generation of heroes. In short, young people.

Tulin is young. Teba is not. That's why Tulin is here. And that's also why I think Yunobo will show up. Because he's young. It's a choice on the part of the writers/director to establish a new generation. But here's hoping Teba will at least make an appearance.

That all in mind, let us ask once again, why Tulin? He was a mere named NPC in BOTW. He does run a mini-game for Link at the flight range, but aside from that, he's not a plot character. And yet, he's in the TOTK trailer as a main character. What I'm asking is this:

Would they still have used Tulin as the young Rito champ if the AOC DLC had never been published?

Because if Nintendo wanted to make a point of this 'new generation' setup with a young cast, I'll betcha they might have picked some young Rito rando instead. Teba, being a father, is no longer 'young'. And they could easily still have done that and we'd just have to learn about this rando, but no! They picked someone we know and someone who was now an established character. It's just unusual that a mainline game wasn't the one to establish him.

Look, I could be way off base here. They may very well have planned to pick Tulin all along, especially once they realized how popular he was with the fandom even before AOC. This is all pure speculation. We won't know why until the game actually comes out, or until we start getting interviews with the devs. We may never know. But it really does make me wonder how much of an influence AOC had on the development of TOTK.

just found out i am missing literally ONE single level in in all of aoc+dlc. oh my god

[muffintonic]

In regard to your tags, that makes me so sad that Revali seems all but forgotten and it's honestly heartbreaking too. He's so important to me and the dumb thing is, I only just was introduced to Breath of the Wild. I heard that Kass is forgotten about as well. Did the creators just end up hating Revali and Kass or something or just wanted us all to move on from them? I keep trying to work on some fanfic that helps save Revali in some way or another but I know that it would hurt him to know that nothing he did mattered and that no one cares about his sacrifice anymore. At least we care, right? I have my own little "shrine" for him so hopefully he can be happy with that. I think I'm just biased towards the Rito and Revali considering that for Dungeons & Dragons the only characters I seem to create are aarakocra, who are humanoid birds lol. Falco has been one of my faves since Starfox N64 and it surprises me that people seem to hate him??

Oh, no, sorry if I spoiled you! Have you played the BOTW DLC? It's great for more Revali characterization. With the way HWAOC went/contradicted BOTW and the DLC, it sure feels like somebody hated at least Revali. I was never that attached to Kass because of the whole "absent father" thing (which, spoiler, continues in TOTK), but he WAS a memorable and helpful fixture in BOTW--I think he just got the "exposition NPC" treatment/they didn't want to flesh him out any further in TOTK. Ah, the universal revival fic! (I've been working on one, haha!) Revali mentions his feelings about being remembered in the DLC and...yeah. (Being new to BOTW and a super Revali fan, you should definitely give Pinesong by ghirahimbo a read for all your Revali revival needs if you haven't already! I honestly wish it were canon instead of TOTK...) I definitely care; I immediately made my paraglider in TOTK his face, haha! All I know about DnD is from the recent movie that came out (poor Jarnathan), but that makes sense! I think the Rito are really interesting, too! I only know Falco from Star Fox: Assault, but it's probably the mix of cocky and snarky that makes most people turn away (much like with Revali).

Hello Yiga Husbands shippers,

I know it's been a while since that DLC came out but here's my take on it;

-There is no way Kohga raised a child. He must've given the kid to the blademasters or something.

Especially since Sooga is so distantly respectful towards him; if it has really been a father/son / mentor/mentee relationship he would be much more comfortable and familiar with Kogha (addressing him by just his name, for example), which he clearly isn't.

I mean... you see the way Kohga talks? If he raised a kid, that kid would not turn out like Sooga.

-Sooga would've grown up idolizing Kogha because he saved him (and because the entire clan does), which is why he has such immense respect for him

As an adult he's become a great warrior- one of the best in the clan (likely because of his 'debt' to Kohga; since he's been given this new life he should make the most of it)

As said great warrior, he becomes the right hand man of Kogha

-Kohga doesn't age. We know this

-They could now be around the same age. They're both adults and free to pursue a relationship if they want to.

Bonus: Parallels with Mipha and Link

-It's often said that Mipha and Link were childhood friends. This isn't exactly true, as she was already a young adult when she met Link for the first time thanks to the Zora lifespans. However, Link grew up away from her as he trained to become a knight.

-When she next sees him, they're around the same age (physically and maturity-wise). She develops an attraction towards him and, if he wanted, he could then pursue a relationship with her.

-Despite Mipha knowing him as a child, their distance growing up leads to a possible romantic relationship.

Make of that what you will. In my opinion, it's perfectly fine to ship them in this case.

Purah and Robbie are gay and Lesbian solidarity and no one can convince me otherwise.

[sheikah-simp]

i literally could meme the hell out of that multiple astors screenshot for a week. i could milk this cow until it completely runs dry. do you dare me to

[sherlocktheravencat]

These are too fun guys

[mememan93]

I know you said you're not fond of Breath of the Wild, but out of curiosity, do you have any favorite character(s) from there?

I like Mipha and Sidon! I'd say they're my favorite out of the BOTW cast, but not out of the entire LOZ cast as a whole, right?

I want to like them a lot, and i do, but it's like i've said before, that the memory format of botw's story only allows for so much characterization, and i'm not counting the DLC or hwaoc, because A) why should i have to buy a DLC to get the full story, and B) Hwaoc is an alt timeline and they barely used mipha (idk abt the hwaoc dlc i don't have it). I really hope totk expands on Sidon and his story, i mean you see him as a follower in the trailer, and maybe there's a bit abt him and mipha??

[arkon-z]

Alright, so we're not calling it "Tulin's Tornado" like they did in the Age of Calamity DLC, but that's totally what it is, right?

And yeah, I saw how Impa was afraid of heights in that balloon too.

Both those things are vague enough that there's no way to tell if they're explicitly a reference to HWAOC, but they're specific enough that they could both be valid. I don't care; I'm here for it.

Zelda riding the master cycle is the cutest fucking thing in the universe fight me. She looks so pleased with herself and I would kill or die for her happiness

[spookilysweet]

Nintendo has made clear what content they desire and I have no choice but to provide

Originally, it was supposed to be a comic with my AU Astor, but because I can’t draw my own things, I just redrew the scene. It was spontaneous and quick.

Excuse the bad lighting, I don’t own a scanner and it’s already 9 pm lol

Today I’ve learned to draw dead bodies.
