"Illumination Legend of Zelda isn't real, it can't hurt you!"

Illumination Link:

[magbeth]

totk mononoke this, totk castle in the sky that. you are all missing the REAL vision (totk nausicaa of the valley of the wind)

[tortilla-of-courage]

do you think once the movie's out people with Links Meet AUs will add this Link to their cast. Welcome Link, Hero Of Movies,

[doctorcanon]

I saw a Stunt Woman run Wushu Drills on tiktok and had an idea for a quick drawing. One of these days I'mma draw Wild in his actual clothes but not today, apparently.

Nintendo would never do this, but I think a simplified version of A Link to the Past would lend itself pretty well to a movie.

It has a pretty straightforward story— you could easily simplify the more complicated parts, condense the dungeons a little, pick and choose side quests, make Zelda’s role a bit bigger (she isn’t even captured for part of the game yknow) and plus it’s so iconic, it would be great!

They could even put in bunny Link and make him be the marketable plush toy everyone wants.

What does this mean?

Edit: looks like it isn't related to the Zelda movie.

i think uh. the Announcement has ruined my night actually. the more i think abt it the worse it gets haha.. 🙃🫠 like literally i don’t think there’s a way the movie can be good. i’m gonna get off social media for tonight & go play switch or smthn,,,,,,,,

[ganondoodle]

the way i think about my stories can be so annoying bc there will be a point when i reach a certain story beat after which i dont know how to continue, and the way i do find are usually ... not good .. or i imagine it is not so i think man i cant do that thats so dumb and annoying i gotta think of something better, but then i cant come up with anything better bc once i got a solution to soemthign i cant think of anything smarter- and then i get bored of it as a whole bc man, this really was stupid from the start wasnt it

(this is all some stupid rambling and does NOT represent anythign that will happen in destiny, i swear the actual story with a proper end makes much more sense)

listen to me rambling but this morning i thought about the essentialyl non-canon good "ending" of destiny, a kind of self indulgent dumb lil alternative where everyone lives blah blah, but then of course it cant just end there, bc the end goal of the both of them is to find out the gods plan and secrets and also kill the gods, as you do, then i got a certain point that i found cool (which initially came from the whole thoguht of what if zelda game but you could play demise and it took place after the alternative ending in which the goal is to get rid of the gods) where the fight one of the gods but are kinda losing and as the god is trying to devour demise, as gods do, he abandons his body and his spirit/core, who cant exist without his body so hes still connected through the spirits tail , and climbs through the gods interdimensional weird 'mouth' while its trying to rip him apart to reach the core of the god in a last attempt to take them down with him, while hylia is fighting to keep the god from severing the thin connection he still has to his body but fails just as he reaches the core so the god is killed but his core is immediatelly starting to dissolve and hylia manages to grab his core and put it back into his body and flee from whatever is happeing to that dead god back into hyrule

he survives but is incredibly weak as his spirit has lost half of itself (blade spirits are also forged throguh sacrificing part of their spirit/core permantently but this is besides the point, none of this makes sense anyway), something he obviously hates but cant do anything about really, once a part of their core is gone its gone (not like lost energy but gone gone) but the core is also slowly dissolving further which is a death sentence with no way to act against- then theres a whole quest to .. well, stop that, while hes falling back into self hatred and fear bc hes now so weak that hylia can break his bones without any effort if she were to treat him in any way similar to before and to a deity that all their life was never so fragile, one whos most defining feature IS his power and strength to keep going no matter what, thats gotta be pretty existentially dreadful (and also its a set back to know that they cant just go fight the gods together like that, theres still two more and he cant fight like that)

then i wondered ok what if then, even if the time doesnt quite line up but at this point the entire prophecy cant be done anymore either so everythings out of order, the cloud barrier weakens and zelda is abducted (not by ghirahim) and link goes and tries to find her, but since everythigns not as it should have been he meets hylia and demise (disguised tho) and they immediately know who he is and then go along and try to help link find his friend (hylia does it bc she got the idea to make him find the triforce and wish demises spirit to be restored, since only a mortal can do that and links the most likely candidate to be able to go through the trials of it since he was supposed to already, even if the circumstances are different- demise goes along with it bc hes still trying to deal with essentially slowly dying and not knowing what to do with himself since hes afraid to get into fights or similar, much to his disdain, so hes acting like a companion of sorts, a mentor figure in a way, not knowing what hylias plan is)

i found the idea kinda interesting to have them be like a lil group that goes on links adventured with him, but with strangely intricate knowledge of how the dungeons work, link still doing the heavy lifting but them being there like parents cheering on their kid in a competetion, all the while putting the whole puzzle and dungeon aspect in a way different light bc half of them were never completed (they wanted to escape the prophecy after all) so they all work completely differently, some bosses being maybe some of the gods creatures instead (like the skysw guardians)- the mid journey point being that they find zelda, and who kidnapped her, it being one of the shiekah having most closely worked with hylia before the whole -break the prophecy- thing started (idk if it would be impa .. idea is neat) and is hellbent on making the gods plan work out like it was supposed to, kinda like the inverse of the games plot, so they got ahold of zelda as part of making her into the new hylia (despite hylia being .. right there, but they dont believe it is her truly since the true tm hylia would never betray the gods- ALSO a paralel to how the downfall of demises world worked bc his mortals turned on him after he started destroying their version of the triforce in the belief destroying it would be the only way to save mortals from going to war agaisnt each other for it over and over, mortals believing that their true deity was gone and replaced by a demon despite demise being ..right there)

after link wins the fight and frees zelda from them they in a kind of last effort to do anything against their group they stab demise, normally that wouldnt do shit against him but in his already fading away situation it basically puts him from very slowly dying to actually dying, as a reaction to it hylia kills the mortal (maybe impa idk), which is the first time she does anything like that to a mortal but i like the idea of her being actually super ruthless when it comes to things she cares about

now with a much more dire time limit hylia sends demise back to essentialyl go hide in her temple and try to not die and to trust her having a plan to make this all still work out- he does and once he is away she reveals pretyt much the entire story around why and what is happenign to link and zelda, hylia herself cant go above the clouds as the barrier is still partially up and she cant do anything to reach the triforce either - so she sends link and zelda to go do that, and it works out in the end bc even knowing the truth know, demise was with them on half of their journey so they know and care, he WILL be mad about them wasting their wish on him (even if he is still happy to be alive- i imagined scene where hes watching himself fall apart and die, alone in hylias temple, having to come to terms with the fact that after everything they had went through hed still die alone- it made me cry while thinking about it, yes, yes you are allowed to laugh)

i didnt get that much further but his spirit was essentially reset to when he was in his prime back in the day through the triforces power- something he both likes and despises, it being the gods power of all things that lets him live again, but also lol to use it agaisnt them by giving another chance to the gods greatest enemy- the next plan is of course to kill the next one of the gods but much better prepared, as they cant just go and do the same thign again (neither wants that), one idea was that hylia goes on a secret quest to try and bring back courage (the third deity that demise killed when his world was still thriving) but it involves diving back into the realm of the gods so she doesnt tell him at first, i do think theyd go together in the end, not to fight but to release courage; the whole thing is also an elaborate revenge plot of hylia, how dare the gods do that to him!!

anyway thats most of what i got from that thinking session but its so frustrating bc none of this is even in the actual comic (since it ends in a way that leads into canon skysw, this is some brain fart nooo i want blorbo to live and succeed!!) and its also convoluted and kinda dumb, the idea to inverse the games plot in a way (instead of it being ghirahim trying to bring demise back its someones plan to make the gods prophecy happen no matter what) is neat but i cant have demise almost dying be the thing THREE TIMES, it kinda undercuts his character and is way too much centered around him, all three times also more or less involving it needing help from others to get him back, when his whole thing should be being unkillable bc he jsut keeps refusing to die, also hylia is, as of now in this spaghetti derailment of random thoughts, way too much of a side character, which i dont like, and it all would make people not like demise when im trying to do the exact opposite of that in the main actual comic

i know being super self indulgent and jsut doing what you want is good for the most part but theres a point where it becomes stale cringy fantasies about my blorbo tm and i wanna write at least decent stories- in the end none of this matters anyway as the actual REAL story of destiny is already pretty long and i got no plan to write that alternative 'good ending' anyway and i mostly just thought about it bc "i dont want blorbo to die :(" and "wouldnt it be fun if the entire plot of the game would get messed up and now demise link hylia and zelda etc can all just drink tea together and make plans to get rid of the gods that wanted them all to suffer needlessly"

i probably shouldnt post this as it was really only a vent to get out dumb thoughts from my brain before they poison me into losing interest of the biggest comic project i have worked on so far but i am unable to keep these things to myself so

if you read all of this, im sorry (´。＿。｀)

Y'all I am so scared. This could either be great or an absolute dumpster fire of a movie. Why live-action? No seriously why live-action??? For Zelda, the games that are so wonderfully cartooney even at their most serious? Why is Avi Arad producing a Zelda movie? His mixed bag of movies aside I DON'T THINK HES DONE FANTASY??? Like correct me if I'm wrong but I believe its mostly sci-fi, superheroes and stuff.

I know I'll enjoy it regardless, trashy movies are my jam. But if we want more it can't flop like 1993 mario(love that movie) and thats the bit thats got me nervous.

I'm gonna anxiously hold out hope solely becuase the tweet opened up with "This is Miyamoto." Just DON'T do BOTW/TOTK. I know you want to pick the cash cow Nintendo, but video game movies are WAY more likely to flop if you pick the one where everyone would rather just play the game. The bigger the fanbase the worse the odds get, so I am begging you not to come out of the gates with an adaptation of the ones where everyone and their mother has played it.

Ok, hopping onto the bandwagon of taking 2000’s Barbie movies and turning them into LoZ AUs, kind of the first one that I have thought of this series was a Princess and the Pauper AU.

(This is more of a general LoZ AU than an LU au btw)

I haven’t thought of it a lot since I made it, but basically:

BotW Zelda is Annalise which makes BotW Link Julian; except he is her bodyguard in this au just like in the game rather than her tutor.

Malon is Erika, with a cat version of Epona as Wolfie (or I guess if this is LU it would be a cat version of Wolfie to be Wolfie XD), which would make OoT Link King Dominic.

Nothing really much to say other than maybe Lady Maud being Madame Carp, but that’s about it XD

My account and stuff

I’m gonna start posting my art on here so here’s some things I wanna say about my account.

About me!! YIPPEE!!

I’m a weird idiot👍. My favorite color is yellow! My favorite animal is RABBITS!!🐇🐇🐇🐇 ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️ I am a Sapphic/Achillean and if you can’t deal with that then I don’t know what to say to you, buddy. Pronouns: preferably He/Him but anything’s fine

MUST FOLLOW RULES:

Please no arguing or fighting over something. Wether it’s over any type of shipping discourse or conflicting opinions. PLEASE this is a MUST.🙏

Please don’t be too weird and inappropriate especially directly at me because I am a minor. Even if you’re joking please still don’t go too far.

Please give credit if you repost or share my art as I’d hate for my art to get stolen. If you see anyone reposting my art without credit then please tell me as it would be highly appreciated.

Requests

I will accept drawing requests. They’ll mostly be doodles.

Feel free to request something I’m not familiar with. It would be a cool way for me to step out of my comfort zone.

I do apologize if I don’t get around to your ask.

What to expect here

I mostly draw silly cartoon characters.

I’ll mostly post silly doodles I draw randomly and some occasional OC art maybe. I am a nerd. A gay nerd. Gay both ways baby.

Fandoms I’m part of: The legend of Zelda, Heartstopper, Demon Slayer, Death Note, South Park (but like only four episodes), Jackson’s Diary, Homesick (last two are webtoon series), The Walten Files, The owl house, but mostly Fnaf, Digital Circus and Murder drones.

(Please ignore the goofy watermark)

Thank you for reaching the bottom and please spread to help me grow. I like when random people like my art. Got me giggling and kicking my feet.🤭

If you have any advice feel free to share. I will try to interact the most I can.

[pikachugirltits]

Oh no. This is like...the exact opposite of what I want.

Zelda isn't particularly well suited to a movie in the first place, but especially not live action. It really should have been animated.

[venusqueenoffaeries]

SAY SIKE RIGHT NOW

[waywardsalt]

tbh all things considered im at least glad that my discomfort with totk is what really drove me to really discover a lot of the discussion and analysis into the racism and orientalist stuff and... all of that in the zelda series, since i was halfway aware of it in the past but only more recently started to really look into it further and see what others have to say about it

[luckywolfsbane]

I'm trying to think positively about the Zelda movie. Maybe they'll cast 90% new actors. Like, if Link and Zelda are actors we've never seen before, that might be alright. They can have one or two "stars" for small roles or whatever, but... listen, I'm trying to be optimistic. They won't do this, but I'm trying not to go into work with a cloud over me.

[skyward-floored]

I know Illumination is probably gonna make Link some Quirky Protagonist™️ but it would be so much funnier if they did the right thing and made him feral

I mean at this point it’s pretty much just a rumor, I don’t know if actually we’ll get a loz movie or not (I’m personally hoping not XD) but I bet it’ll have to do with whether the Mario movie does well or not.

But if it is real, I think they should make the quirky person Link’s sidekick, like Navi or someone kinda like Aryll, or maybe a new fairy character. Link himself should be pretty quiet, but also feral at the same time. Like they’re discussing a plan or something, very seriously for the final battle or something, and they turn to him to see what he thinks and Link is just. Eating rocks or something.

...and then points out every flaw in the plan and lays out an idea for an even better one. And eats another rock.
