Tumblr Master List!!

Psssssst....hiiii 👋🏻. I am alive. And actually more motivated than ever now.

Apologies I wasn't very active in recent months, life was just being a jerk but now that has all passed I am actually happy to report that I finally got one (1) of those fanfics I've been talking about finished recently....then I realised I needed to do a prequel or this one (1) wouldn't make too much sense in a later chapter but hey, motivation is back and I should have that done shortly too!!

In the meantime, here are some more overdue silly memes. Remember the original memes aren't mine, I just added names to who I think would match them.

Enjoy these ten (10) memes because I got bored, Part Twelve (12)!! Alt Text added to all of them.

I see so many people joke how Purah found the secret to immortality and didn’t even share it with Impa or Robbie and, while I think it’s funny, let me raise you this: Purah has trauma from the Great Calamity that has stunted her in the past

So hear me out. We know that Age of Calamity isn’t really canon but we can assume some things from it are, such as Purah and Robbie’s roles and personalities before everything happened. Purah was seen to be very aloof and maybe even too confident in their skills to stop Calamity Ganon, to be fair they had everything prepared and ready to stop it so why wouldn’t she be. But when things didn’t go to plan and the Great Calamity happened, hundreds of lives were lost, especially those who worked close with Purah like the champions, Link, and Zelda. This affected her greatly, causing her to realize what was really at stake and giving her a fear of death.

In the time after the Great Calamity, Purah began working on figuring out immortality, especially as she got older. She presented the idea to Impa and Robbie, hiding her true intentions under the guise of it ensuring they’d be there to help Link and Zelda when the time came. They both refused, as they had come to peace with the passage of time. This drove a bit of a steak between the three of them, which is why we don’t see them interact in Breath of The Wild

I believe in the events after Breath of The Wild and before Tears of The Kingdom Purah grappled more with her fears and trauma, especially after reconnecting with Impa and Robbie. They aren’t the same people she believed them to be before the Great Calamity and she isn’t either. I think Purah’s relationship with Josha is evidence of her accepting fate, passing down her knowledge to a successor

So yeah, I think Purah has more going on than just not wanting to share immortality :)

Echoes of Wisdom Headcanon Countdown

༺ Day 72▪︎ 28 Left

After Tears of the Kingdom, Zelda teams up with Purah, Josha, and Robbie (and Link as a test subject) to reconstruct the runes lost with the old Sheikah Slate. Primarily, the runes that are recovered aim towards the priorities of Hyrulean way of life: such as a focus on traveling as well as rebuilding. Zelda utilizes knowledge she gathered firsthand of both Zonai and early Sheikah technology, and soon enough she believes the runes are in enough working shape for her to start teaching the people of Hyrule how to use them! (Learning to use them certainly becomes a bit of a bonding activity for Paya and Tauro, as well).

“Robbie

Head of Purah Pad Development

An engineer whose eccentric style adds a lot to his reputation as a wild genius.

He once helped Link from his research facility at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. Since then, He’s moved to the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab to help Purad develop the Purah Pad. Robbie thinks he did much of the work on the device, so he’s a bit grumbly that it’s not named after him.”

548 Days since Tears of the Kingdom Released. Them getting lost in the depths for two weeks and eating all the ecological wonders. Yeah that tracks lol.

I just love the expressions on all the characters. Link’s sad face because his slate is broken. Zelda’s panicked look cause the shrines are all in the depths.

This comic is so fun.

LINKTOBER DAY 6! Lookout Landing

Purah’s having a no good month. Her research interns dig up some great spooky evil, her sister’s nagging her about said interns disappearing post great spooky evil, and to add insult to injury she’s self imposing herself to keep an Eye Out on Great Spooky Evil.

On that note, zelda and link survived the depths for two weeks eating nothing but bananas filched from yiga scouts, deep fireflies, and the stray frog thing that isn’t too infected by malice. (They followed several lights and were VERY pleasantly surprised to see robbie poking around.)

Why Age of Calamity Did That (And Why Age of Imprisonment Will Too)

So when Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity came out, there was a very vocal contingent of fans who were upset about a particular twist in its narrative.

Age of Imprisonment was just announced, with a hauntingly similar setup, and I'm seeing a number of fans talking as if the same twist won't happen this time, or at least saying they hope it doesn't. I just wanted to lay out the reason why it happened the first time, and why it almost certainly will again.

I'm going to be dropping unmarked spoilers for all three previous games in this trilogy that's soon to become a quadrilogy, by the way. I imagine most of the people speculating about Age of Imprisonment will already know them, but just to cover my bases, you can stop reading now if you're behind.

So, let's start at Age of Calamity's announcement.

We were told it would be "A story 100 Years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," and told it would depict the battles against the Calamity not previously shown. Fans immediately started joking about already knowing how it ended, that this was a game that would end with most of the cast dying.

Then the demo came out. A Guardian the size of an ostrich egg woke up at the same time as Zelda awakening her powers, traveled back in time, and activated the Sheikah Towers early. Also, Link was a regular soldier and not the Hero who had been wielding the Master Sword since he was a pre-teen.

Surprisingly, a large portion of the fandom either failed or refused to see the twist coming at that point.

But the twist came all the same: in the full game, the time traveling egg guardian enables the four successors to the Champions from BotW to save them, Zelda awakens her powers before Link is killed, they band together to slay Calamity Ganon, and a happy ending is enjoyed by all. Including the Yiga Clan, who defected because reasons.

Some fans were very upset about this. They were promised a prequel, and seemed to think it would be a good idea. But the reason it wasn't is fairly obvious if you think about it.

For one thing: Warriors games are about the fanservice power fantasy. Playing as beloved characters and mowing down hundreds of cannon fodder enemies as easily as one mows a lawn.

For another: one of the playable characters in the original Hyrule Warriors on Wii U was Agitha from Twilight Princess. She was included purely because one of the developers was a fan of hers and argued for her inclusion. Koei-Tecmo's Hyrule Warriors team includes people who are big enough Zelda fans to have favorite minor NPCs.

Now, consider for a moment what a "canon" ending to Age of Calamity would have looked like. The Champions are dead. Link is dead. Zelda awakened her powers a moment too late, so she's going to go hold down Calamity Ganon while the Sheikah trio carry Link's body to the Shrine of Resurrection. They don't know how long it will take to work, or if it will even work at all, so the three of them agree to live separately and wait for him, so that even if the Yiga Clan finds and overcomes them, at least the other two will live on to pass Zelda's message on to Link.

In other words, you just paid full retail price for a beat'em up where all your favorite characters die, and have a completely separate game to go play for the story's actual resolution.

Maybe you, personally, actually wanted that, but would a casual Zelda fan who just got the game for Christmas have wanted it? Would a Dynasty Warriors fan trying the game out as a gateway to the Zelda series have been okay with being told they now have to buy another game in a completely different genre to get their closure?

To be frank, no. Age of Calamity didn't lead in to Breath of the Wild because that would have made for a bad product. Instead of watching the Champions die, we got to see them live, be happy, and interact with their successors. If you want to imagine the full details of their deaths and be sad about it, that's what fanfiction is for.

And now we have Age of Imprisonment on the way.

Tears of the Kingdom, much like Breath of the Wild, has a sequence of flashbacks to a distant past, that ends on a downer note of "Welp, we're boned, but all we can do is wait for Link to come sort it out."

Just like Age of Calamity, Age of Imprisonment purports to be a full depiction of these events...

But the events of the Dragon Tears are in even more dire need of an intervention from the present than the Memories were, entirely because of the cast.

Taking this reveal trailer at face value, we can expect eight characters: Zelda, Sonia, Rauru, Mineru, and the four Ancient Sages. By the end of the Dragon Tears as we saw them in Tears of the Kingdom...

Sonia is assassinated

Rauru gives his life to seal Ganon under the castle

Mineru succumbs to her injuries and begins haunting Zelda's tablet

Zelda essentially commits fantasy suicide, because as far as anyone in the narrative is aware, becoming a dragon destroys your sense of self and is irreversible.

The Sages live, but with how little TotK gave them to work with, AoI is going to have to characterize them from scratch.

That's a hard sell to anyone looking to buy a fun video game full of Zelda characters, and that's not the only problem with this roster: it's also small.

Not counting certain characters having multiple weapons, the original Hyrule Warriors launched with a roster of 13, and then three of the bosses were made playable in a patch.

Age of Calamity launched with 18.

If we're sticking entirely to the founding era with this game, we're following up a game that set sales records for the Warriors series with a piddly little roster that tells you at the end to go play a different game, with the surviving half of the roster being the faceless nobodies. Who's actually going to buy that beyond the LoZ die-hards who pitched a fit because not every returning NPC in Tears of the Kingdom greeted Link with a "Hey, I remember you!"?

It's quite clear, to me, that Age of Imprisonment is going to have another time travel twist, this time bringing in the modern Sages, as well as Link, probably Purah, and perhaps some others. (Paya? Tauro? Robbie? Josha? Kohga, for some reason? All possible, but Purah's the only supporting cast pick I'm confident in.)

If nothing else, the fact that Nintendo announced amiibo of the TotK Sages the same day as Age of Imprisonment seems more than coincidental.
