because i am once again being kept awake by yiga clan thoughts.

do you think the splintered sheikah from 10,000 years ago that swore allegience to ganon slowly evolved into the yiga we know today, gradually phasing out blues for reds and white hair for black in a ship of theseus sense where they don’t notice how different they’ve become until too many generations have passed to notice.

or do you think it all happened overnight in an edgy makeover montage styled like a 00s coming of age movie as they dye their hair black, tack spikes onto their outfits and apply emo eyeliner over their sheikah crests until the look is complete, joan jetts playing all the while as they walk in slo mo towards hyrule castle.

Why is it every time I'm in Toronto the weather feels like I'm in the Gerudo Desert? 🥵

Sand seal bbys (coming as wooden pins soon)

Day 41– Desert rift

The desert flooding’s a bit of a misnomer— it’s more like the gerudo basin refilled with a mysterious source (most likely ground water being pumped up somehow) and is now puddling violently wherever the elevation dips below sea level, creating dangerous wells of quicksand. While sandseals can thrive happily in such watery conditions, other fauna of the desert aren’t as suited to the moisture.

Good thing gerudo town is built on lime rock.

(This totk rewrite au is called Familiar Familiar! It all starts when Zelda doesn’t get sent back in time and the butterfly effect devolved from there.)

totk cataclysm event wasnt just a great (but utterly missed) opportunity to change the map in techincally little ways that has drastic consequences both in stakes and in gameplay (like i mentioned before, flooding the gerudo desert would have meant devastating consequences for its ecosystem- like imagine little islands of sand still poking out, acting as a sort of last doomed refuge for sandseals- but also cahnged the entire gameplay of it, good chance to introduce some neat new ways to surf on water like a new ridable creature or an ice shield freezing a path while you surf on it, the gerudo being forced to save the city from drowing in various means or now living on the roofs, trying to adapt by building boats ect - also call back to older games?? since totk loves that so much ..-, vah naboris serving as the savest refuge being high above the water, even if non functional; similarly takign away ALL water from the zora region, gaving it all dry out would imemdiately turn into something way different and could mean death for the zora- forcing them to move to the lower parts of akkala for example- maybe vah ruta is still halfway functioning bc the faith the zora have to mipha, dorephan and sidon is, while not enough to keep it fully functional, but enough to generate some water so the most stubborn or brave zora set up around it like a last oasis; i know its somewhat done with death mountain but the gorons dont really suffer from it bc their only problem is a drugged rock that makes them mean and lazy ..- what about collapsing or exploding it, leaving a large crater that over the course of the game could start to grow with plant life since vulcanic earth is so fertile- some never seen before ones that was dormant in the lava and now that its cooled off is springing to life, which might seem good at first but for the area and its wildlife means loss of their habitat; the rito freezing over, but actually having to move, maybe into the tabantha canyon, building their new makeshift homes in between the walls of it- generally just switiching things around a bit would have done so much wihtout having to edit every last detail ((seriously tho, how did this game take so long given that botw took similar but they did that ENTIRE main map as detailed as it is AND made it all coherent with itself and its themes- im ranting again ..)

-but it ALSO would have been the perfect opportunity to introduce new weather types created by the sudden change in environment, somethign like a super strong wind that slows you when walking agaisnt and lets you jump much farther when with it- a darkness thing that clouds the world in utter darkness with only little light getting through anything that is caused by mushrooms from the udnerground invading the surface and their spores snuffs out all light (which could explain the weird darkness in the ruins from botw too!!), or just simply mist! making everything misty changes the entire feel of any environment drastically- you could make vertain enemies spawn only in certain weather conditions, lessening the repetive overuse of them; and that is only on the surface- what if the sky had sunbeams so strong it sets anything on fire if you dare to leave the shadows- to comabt it get a armor with a giant hat!! the underground could have been filled with different environments in the first place, but then of course thered be those dark spores of mushrooms, an entire forest you have to carefully travers other wise making them release their spores and make it all more difficult, glowy mushrooms, MORE glowy mushroms, theres so many weird ass shrooms IRL you could take inspo from!! maybe soemthing like a forest of kelp, long flowy plants obstructing view and making you anxious by any movement- there could be one thats a mimic or infected with miasma, slightly off color and its knobs are malice eyes that open only if it thinks you cant see it

(also for the idea of taking botws stuff and recontextualizing it, the guardians or shrines, now non fucntional, could be infected my miasma sometimes, maybe randomly to keep you guessing- an overgrown shrine suddenly lifting itself up with hands clawing at you when you get too close or do sth wrong to distrub it- similar with guardians tho the effect might be less since you know them as a threat already- or sth i mentioned in another post, a tower being used as a weapon by a gigatic miasma monster- the one in the gerudo region with the bottomless pit for example, perfect for an arena for you to run around in the spiral while its swinging at you etc etc)

JUST taking what botw had and mixing it up, expanding on it, even if technically little change, it could do so much but in the actual game death mountain and rito is the only ones that saw anything of a change like it, and it largely .. didnt change anything or was reversible easily, and had no actual consquences that meant anything, neither stakes nor environmental or narratively (the gerudo felt like it at first but its also largely reversible, its just kinda .. adding a bit of city)

i hhhhhhhhhhhhhh have so many thoughts still, i am just better at holding them back .... also dont wanna annoy lmao

He's almost done! Soon I'll have 2 sandseals!

I'll be sure to post photos when he's done!

I'm not exactly in the LoZ fandom. But I just had a random bit of information click and I need you all to understand as well.

Ganondorf is a gerudo. The gerudo produce only one son every... What like 100 years? 1000 years? Doesn't matter. What matters is that if Ganondorf wins his little world domination war and decides to sire a lineage of conquerors and kings, he can only have daughters.

Imagine that. Girl dad Ganondorf. So many daughters. And they're all gerudo, so they are all deeply driven to fit cultural norms. That means Ganondorf is out there buying excessive amounts of very colorful lipstick and other makeup for his daughters. He is having to talk to teachers for the vai and voe classes when his daughters are struggling to learn proper social skills. When ever daughter begs for a pet sandseal, he's going to have to deal with that. And if he doesn't cater to their whims, they will usurp him.

Hey… if you guys love bananas so much, how come your suits aren’t yellow??? Seems like you’re just an imposter, amigo…

(I love bananas more than you.)

And the Gerudo all love sandseals, yet their houses aren't friend shaped

Ganon forbid a culture has more then one gimmick to it!

*comes up with a sandseal plush* lord ganondorf. There's a monster under my bed. Can you teach me how to vanquish it or even how to make it my minion?

I did not command my servants to hide under anything. Tell this creature to answer to me immediately.

[alabasterpickles]

hey hello hi ik you've been Hades posting but I'm a little loz nerd and wanna share a dumb thought with you. Modern Totk. Link, Zelda, and the sages. Arcade. Link sees a ski ball machine. He looks at Yunobo. An idea sparks. He uses Yunobo to launch him at the machine. It breaks. Tickets spew out. Riju gets a sand seal plushie she's been eyeing at the ticket counter. Sidon is launching basketballs at an insane rate. Tulin is a master at DDR. Zelda regrets her decision to bring them to an arcade. The day is ended by pizza that's just "ok". Fun times had for all.

Okay honestly Anon I WISH they had a Korok puzzle in TOTK that was just, using Yunobo as a giant ski ball

I didn’t think it could get better than shooting him at gongs but here we are

Follow up point? Giant pinball.

Sincerely, thank you for these shenanigans and jut so that you know the TOTK and BOTW love is alive and well and I still am very much drawing content for the games 😂

Never apologize for quality Loz asks!! I live for these!!

Also Riju with a new sandseal plushie???? Please 😭❤️

And Sidon absolutely demolishing all the kid Hylians at basketball is so funny to me

Another Character Design Assignment for School, this time we had to make a character lineup for a hypothetical animated racing tv show.

The setting could be anything you wanted, so I went with a sandboard racing idea inspired by the Sandseal racing from Breathe of The Wild

Last night, I had a dream. Or... well, it was technically a memory but with dream aspects to it. I'll tell it, replacing/removing my dream aspects from the memory.

Princess Zelda was walking in front of me, the cool wind from Hebra Mountain rolled onto our faces while walking to Rito Village. Zelda was wearing her travel outfit: her light blue shirt tucked into her black pants and brown boots that went a few inches just below her knees. Her hair was blowing in the wind from north to south, as was mine, just not as much since I had mine in a ponytail. I wore my green tunic that I had gotten in the Forgotten Temple just east of here.

We didn't say much, which was fine with me. I liked staying quiet. As we walked, we got ambushed by blue Bokoblins. In one spin attack with my Royal Knight's Broadsword, I slashed off all 5 of their heads before the princess I was guarding could react. Their purple blood splattered all over us. Then, after a few seconds of the dead bodies laying on the ground, they turned to smoke and blew away, from north to south as well. The blood dissipated, and behind were their fangs, horns, and stomach, which pulsated as if it was still digesting something they ate. I silently cursed them out, How could the Goddesses make the monsters turn to smoke while the humans, elementals, and anthros had bodies they needed to bury.

Then, I heard a screech of another Bokoblin, I turned to see a club inches from my face as a black Bokoblin leapt up in the air like a frog and was coming down at me. I had no time to react, but an arrow pierced the cheek of this monster with just enough force to make the thing miss.

A white feathered Rito flew above us with his bow drawn. The Bokoblin realizing that it was going to die, fled. The Rito landed next to us, on his back was a child that looked like him. I realized who these two were instantly.

"Teba." I said, sheathing my sword. "Ah, Linkle, it's good to see you." the adult Rito smiled at me and turned to Zelda, bowing. "And it seems you got my letter, Princess." Zelda gave a kind, simple nod. "Yes, you requested to see myself and Linkle." "I have... news. I'm unsure of whether to call it good or bittersweet." Teba answered. Zelda and I glanced at each other.

Teba led us back to Rito Village and when we got to his nest, he presented us with tea. We kindly accepted and he began his explanation of how after Calamity Ganon was defeated, he heard a beep of some kind of Guardian, and a portal opened before him, to which he saw the late Rito Champion about to die to Windblight Ganon.

Over the coarse of an hour or two, he explained in great detail about how he, Yunobo, Riju, Sidon, his son "Tulin", and Riju's sandseal "Patricia" all were sent back in time and helped defeat the Calamity and how things changed.

It... was very emotional. The Princess and I listened to how an alternate timeline now existed. All our pain and suffering in this timeline still existed. We lost everyone we cared about, but in that time? People were lost, but it was not a mass genocide like it was for us.

After a lot of processing, we thanked Teba for telling us and traveled back home, it took us days to get back, but once we got to my house in Hateno, Zelda and I collapsed into each other in front of the picture of the Champions and sobbed, holding each other and thinking about what Teba had described. It was just as Teba said it was: bittersweet.

After a week of discussing and grieving, we decided to host a ceremony for the heroes of that timeline. We declared Teba, Sidon, Yunobo, and Riju as "the new Champions" and after the ceremony, over the course of 2 years, we destroyed as much of the Sheikah technology as we could. Or reusing things that we knew that if Calamity Ganon ever returned, he wouldn't be able to use against us like he did before.

Sand Seal - BOTW Crochet

So I just posted a blanket for my friend in the air force and the stuffed cat I made for my baby cousin. In that post I spoke about how I made a sand seal for her from BOTW (this was last years birthday gift mind you) and how it is huge. All the gifts I've given my baby cousin so far have been about 1.5 ft to 2 ft tall at the minimum. So this cat being tiny is really off putting for me. I have photos of the sandseal without my baby cousin or people in it. Instead I have my parent's dog in it for size! I made 2 of them, one went to my baby cousin and the other went to my friend's baby. She was thrilled (please read sarcastically as it was huge and she was like oh god no, her son though was actually thrilled, he loves to jump on it). Blue one is my friend son's and the purple and red one is my baby cousin's. Was house sitting when I made these/took these photos.
