Fronk & Mei are ADOOOORABLE

They said tears of the kingdom and I took that personally. You separate two characters from a game means eventually I’m gonna draw them having a tearful reunion, you knoooow how it is.

Not spoilers, but it was inspired by wishful thinking after certain scenes��….if you know, you know. 😔

I took this screenshot when I was watching the video but I was sooooooo eepy that I just forgot about it. Anyway that’s a nice rug you’ve got there Tango!

Tango, season 9 episode 45

[ID: a minecraft screenshot from hermitcraft 9, taken in Decked Out’s storage room from a high angle looking down. Tango is facing the left but looking up at the viewer. He’s in his deep frost skin, hood included, and he’s wearing an elytra and holding a torch. On the floor behind him is one of Scar/Hotguy’s posters. Shirtless Hotguy is lying on a beach volleyball court showing off his abs. It’s signed with Hotguy’s signature and has a golden frame around it. End ID]

Kind of regret having used "imperialism" so much in my criticisms of Tears of the Kingdom. Not because I think it's not the correct term, but because I think "the game has conservative values" is easier to understand and harder to deflect as "??? but ganondorf is the one doing the imperialism" because.

Yes.

Of course he would.

LINK, OF HATENO Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom

[From my Link's Meet AU, That Broken Promise]

GENDER: Nonbinary (afab intersex) PRONOUNS: He/They HEIGHT: 4'11" AGE: 29 HEALTH: Shrapnel scars radiating from left lower back, transhumeral loss of right arm, periodic severe phantom pain.

WEAPONS: (Variety of) Sword, Shield, Bow & arrows ITEMS: Purah Pad, 3 variant prosthetic arms, battery set SPELLS: Earthwake

Hateno died after a surprise attack by the Calamity caught him and his Zelda unprepared. When he woke again, a century later without his memories, he reclaimed the Master Sword and defeated the evil spirit to save Zelda from her labour containing him. Five years later, the crumbling castle foundations released the body of Ganondorf behind the Calamity. Zelda was thrust into the past and Link severely injured. He recovered, relocated both Sword and Zelda in his own time, and defeated Ganondorf.

Hateno has no conscious memories from before he died, but he retains his physical responses to trauma from that time and can be surprised very unhappily by it at any given point. He has asked and learned other details, but it remains nothing but a story. He has come to terms with it and is most focused on his life now with Zelda. He lost his right arm to complications after the final battle, but does not talk of it. He's slow to anger and enjoys trying new things.

Hateno speaks sometimes, is literate in a few languages, and prefers to use sign language when able. Glossed as AUSLAN.

Hateno is bisexual, stone (prefers giving to receiving), but otherwise game for almost anything you can think of. He's sleeping with Mizko the bandit, and his Zelda both (but not Zelda's girlfriend, Magda.)

I think the legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom should have played out like:

U get the ganondorf cutscene, the mastersword breaks, link looses his arm.

The ground rumbles and breaks, earth starts rising - but only link falls off the chunk. Zelda reaches for him, their hands just miss and Link disappears into the darkness below.

Now, Zelda does not inexplicably timetravel into the past.

Instead she wakes up on a sky island as a playable character.

She meets Rauru's ghost and with his help, plus help from some constructs, she manages to repurpose the sheikah slate to have basically the same abilities as the zonai arm in totk.

At some point during this, maybe after a particularly harrowing temple or something, I dont know, we find a campfire. Rauru's sat there, like, meditating or smth, and tells zelda to take a break and wait, since that is really the best option they right now - wait for a rito to fly high enough that they see zelda. Or something, idk, point is we need a reason for zelda to chill at a campfire.

Because this introduces the switching mechanic - aka, not only can u forward time at a campfire, but u can also change perspectives. In this case, to Link.

Link who is just. Not having a good time lol.

He wakes up in the depths, alone, no weapons, the malice eating his arm draining away the lives that players painstakingly built up in breath of the wild.

Everythkng's dark. Monsters are seemingly everywhere, pools of malice are threatening to kill you even faster than your broken arm already does.

All you have for a glimmer of hope is faint turquoise light somewhere ahead. So that's where ur heading.

This is where u find rauru's arm, fallen with some other debris, around a non-actjve light root.

Link somehow manages to attach the arm to the one still eaten by malice - idk maybe u pick up the arm, there's a fade to black, and when it returns it's to link bending his new and improved blue-glowing fingers experimentally.

You activate the lightroot and it restores some of ur hearts, but not the entirety of what u once had - a symptom of the malice-eating arm, or smth, surely.

And now u have two different story lines going at once - zelda tryjng to find link/figure out what's going on/stop ganondorf by exploring the sky islands, maybe having access to hyrule below with the help of some rito that u can find scattered across the sky islands. Maybe there's even a skysard sword-type skybird element there, where u get to steer the rito or smth, idk.

Meanwhile in the depths u have link, building up a shelter/hq/base with people that somehow fell into the chasms as they opened up, nobody quite able to reach the top again - not even the few rito that fell down. They just can't make it through the thick miasma of malice hanging above everything like storm clouds.

And, of course, link is also trying to get back to zelda/figure out what's going on/stop ganondorf.

Like idk, i feel like going with an approach like this would have made totk feel less like just a re-packaged botw with some DLC content, you know?

But hey, what do i know, i'm just some guy lol

[retrofps]

pov you dont support cece in the hateno village election

[cum-villain]

!!! made it to the second row of hearts in totk can i get a hell yeah!!

[zhe-lazy-fox]

started playing a new round of botw, and Zelda and Link is making me feel soft...

[three-bunnies-in-a-trenchcoat]

Still so funny that if not for my typical "Hey maybe I should put this off for a while" strategy for the end of games I would've walked directly into the Ganondorf fight without seeing a single one of Zelda's memories

WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME THE KIDS IN HATENO DRAW A PICTURE OF YOU AFTER THE SCHOOL SIDEQUEST????

[vulshokbersrker]

Want to see the newest scopes around Hyrule? Want to hear about the best places to go? Then you need to read the Lucky Clover Gazette! Your one place stop for all the happenings in the land!

I had some other colors for this design, but the green had so much more punch compared to the blue and red versions. Plus don't want ti double up on the red with the Hudson design.

are you being for real
