TotK DLC idea!

The screen is black. You don’t hear anything for a long time. Then, faintly, in the distance, you can hear it.

Link. Link. Open your eyes.

While the line echoes familiarity, the voice does not.

Or. Well. It does. Because while it isn’t Zelda, it’s a familiar man’s voice speaking gently, so gently you almost don’t recognize it because there’s no way he ever spoke like this in the main game.

But he is now. And instead of a golden light being the first image you see before the screen shows Link awakening… you see gloom floating in the air. The image cuts to a Hylian waking up who… doesn’t look like Link from TotK?? He’s different, still small in stature, with slightly tanner skin, platinum light blonde hair, and red eyes. But… something’s wrong with his forehead. There’s a weird line on it.

This new character you apparently are gonna be playing in the DLC blearily blinks his eyes open, clearly groggy and too weak to really move. But then that line on his forehead moves a hair, it splits apart, and you realize it’s a freaking eye, red and yellow and it’s like the ones on gloom hands and oh gosh what the hell is it doing on his forehead—

Link realizes something is off and his eyes blow wide, his hands reach for his forehead and he screams in agony and terror, only for someone to scoop him into a hug to soothe him.

And suddenly you realize why that voice was eerily familiar.

It’s Ganondorf. He resurrected you from the era of the Imprisoning War. You, who have a history with him and his family. You, who he wants to protect, who he views as his kid, who he calls a prince and says he’ll keep you safe by controlling your body with his dark magic if he has to.

Welcome to Tears of the Kingdom: Hero’s Shadow.

You have to play a long gone Hero who was resurrected. Ganondorf, who is still recovering his strength in preparation for killing the current Hero, tasks you with finding your betrothed, his daughter, as well as his wife. They’re buried somewhere in the Depths like you were. He wants you to find their burial sites so he can use his secret stone to resurrect them like he did you, and control them as well. Which is doubly bad when you realize his wife was the original Sage of Lightning. He gives you free reign to wander once you go through a tutorial (he tests you to see if you’ve recovered enough strength), because he knows you love wandering and collecting things. Your own personal objective, however, is trying to help Hyrule from the Depths, to break free from Ganondorf’s control, because Link would rather set himself on fire than let Ganondorf resurrect and control the love of his life and his mother-in-law. Your best hope is to find shards of the shattered Master Sword to try and stab the eye on Dark Link’s forehead and break the control Ganondorf has on you. Until you can, though, the monsters are your allies, you can teleport across the Depths by manifesting out of the gloom created by gloom hands (just like what Phantom Ganon does), and the world below is your oyster. If you get too close to sword shards when gloom hands are nearby, Ganondorf can see your attempt and immediately takes control of your body, and no matter what button you press Link just walks back to Ganondorf’s location and stays there until you get a chance to try again.

You start with three hearts, all empty looking like when gloom hurts you, and if you get injured they just shatter. Whenever they all shatter, you respawn at Ganondorf’s location because his gloom hands came and rescued you from dying. The only way you can get more hearts is by collecting poes and offering them to the statues in the Depths. You can communicate with the spirits of soldiers, who may give you combat tips or info about the area. If you gain enough of Ganondorf’s trust, he’ll let you command monsters, and he might even let you wander the Surface (under his supervision) during a blood moon.

You learn of Link’s and Ganondorf’s history through discovering ancient relics/texts that trigger memories. This connection between you and Ganondorf stems back to time before the war, well over ten thousand years ago. Link was engaged to Ganondorf’s daughter, but during the Imprisoning War the family fought against the demon king. Ganondorf did love his family, but he loved power more. Link sacrificed himself, letting himself get mortally wounded to save Rauru from a killing blow. Gan held him as he died, and it allowed Link to both beg him to stop and stab him in the heart with a light shard. The shard didn’t kill him, but it was what Rauru connected with when he hit him in the chest, allowing him to seal Ganondorf away. Ganondorf still wants the world, but his love for his family is still present, though now twisted, so he thinks he can control Link and everyone else with his dark magic in order to keep them safe and in line. Once the threat of the current Hero is eliminated, the world will be his, and his family will be safe. As such, he treats you, Link, the player, like a stubborn child, reeling you in, but does so in a horrific way, torturing Link by controlling him.

You have to break free of this and stop him, and the only hope you have is the distant call of a sword spirit…

Yank

Warnings: threat of death (perceived)

"Look out!" Supervillain cried as they grabbed Villain by the arm and yanked as hard as they could.

"The fuck?" Villain said as they stumbled backwards. "What was that for?" They gestured at the car driving the opposite way of the two villains. "They weren't even near us, Supervillain!" Villain frowned. "We are in a rush to get supplies. What is wrong with you?"

Supervillain stared at their hand. What had they just done? They rarely put hands on Villain. "I'm sorry...I....I just can't bear to see you hurt. Not....not after everything." They couldn't bring themself to say the rest. They hung their head in shame.

Villain put a tender hand on Supervillain's cheek. "Oh, love, it's ok. I'm ok. I'm safe. I'm not there anymore. You saved me. I'm ok."

Supervillain put their hand on top of Villain's. "You are ok. You're here. You're with me. You're safe."

Villain nodded. They took Supervillain's hand in theirs. "Now, can we go pick up some supplies?"

Kurogiri: hey, kid, where’s your head at?

Toga: I think it’d be really cool to record my therapy sessions and go back and listen to them later from a more distanced perspective

Toga: But also, the thought of having my therapy sessions taped is exceptionally nerve racking and paranoia inducing, and I know myself well enough to know that it’d become an ocd obsession for checking to make sure I have them all and no one else has access to them

Kurogiri:

Kurogiri: hey, kid, where’s your head?

Toga: no, but listen-

Kurogiri: I am listening, I just don’t think you’re mentally sound

Toga: IT WOULD BE INTERESTING-

It’s all fun and games until your doctor finds out that you directly disobeyed his orders to take things easy (you followed your husband through the multiverse while pregnant)

I am sincerely heartbroken that Timerra is the only crown royal who isn't in the top 20

She's funny and entertaining, but still very mature and confident, like the future queen she's meant to be

The 'benefit of the doubt' side of me wants to attribute it to her and Solm in general kind of getting the short end of the stick in Engage's plot.

The pure cynical part of me wants to attribute it to the fact that she and Fogado (who's also nowhere to be seen) are darkskinned and that can shoot popularity in the foot. And it has happened before, with Basilio and Flavia not being popular despite having story importance as early as chapter 4 of Awakening, and Dedue being the least popular retainer/confidant of 3H despite having arguably the best writing of them all.

I really hope Timerra gets a boost next year, or even this year as a response to her absence.

Febuwhump Day 2 - Solitary Confinement

Based on @zelda-the-sacred-realm's comic, particularly her lore about the Hero of Time! Hope you like it :)

The destiny of a Hero was to be alone.

Link knew that in his heart. He had accepted it, and that acceptance had made him stronger.

There was nothing else to be said about it. Loss and abandonment were so ingrained into his being at this point... what else could there possibly be? The harder his heart, the better. He had long since acknowledged that there was to be no companionship for him - friends were fleeting, and love even more so.

His resolve had been tested, once, when a young, scared Hero in the making had approached him on all fours, trembling and lost. At first the boy had been a disgrace to the title and legacy, trembling and lost as he was. He'd felt more like someone to protect than to teach.

But oh had he learned. The boy was quick, mature, courageous. Link had been so proud of him.

But then the boy had died. He'd died and Link had been powerless to stop it. And once again... he was alone.

The destiny of a Hero was to be alone. And so alone he remained.

Until one day, a new young man wearing the proud green approached his statue in the remote village, and destiny called once more. And though it beckoned him, and though Hyrule once again needed his help, he found himself surrounded by companions, and...

The destiny of a Hero was to be alone. Even with his dearest Hero back alongside him... he knew it was inevitable.

Link, the Hero of Time, had to focus on his duty. Everything else would leave him, as all things did.

Chapter 31: His and mine are the same

(the crossover of all time move over every superhero franchise... ever /hj)

Audrey had gone to bed, until the next night, and the next, and so it continued. When she heard cannon fire she assumed the worst– she could not help it. Fate, or maybe, the backhand of God was seldom kind. She’d lost it all before, she was a liar, a killer and a public ledger, after all, and he a spy, why should either of them live after all they’ve done. If justice existed– but then, it didn’t. The world was bleak and cruel, and yet Audrey still found some light in it, just please– live. I love you- I need you, just… please. She did not spare him for him to become a tragedy of war against empire… just, please.  October 20th, 1781.  Clip–clop-clip–clop–clip-clop.  Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy. --------------------------------------------------------- “You’re alive,” Audrey repeated astonished.  “Of course I am,” Tallmadge said blue eyes looking at her with some new renewed astonishment.  Now, Audrey did not know anything of military strategy, one of the few things she didn’t know.  “We won,” Benjamin added with a boyish grin, a weight seeming to have left him, finally. “Cornwallis trapped himself, he couldn’t even show up to formally surrender,” Tallmadge added a bit smugly.  All at once a flood of other fears and questions, so many questions, crossed Benjamin’s well informed mind. Then he looks rather aghast, as though he was recalling something he would rather not.  “Help me,” Tallmadge managed weakly, but it was desperate and earnest, after all he had seen. It sounded rather more like a distract me to Madam Audrey. So, that she would do.
