one of the requests/suggestions i got :3 (demise + cats)

also I will forever be mad about the light dragon. MY zelda wouldve continued working at improving her time magic for her whole life then master it at like 80 and show up in front of link with a slightly repaired master sword taped to an entirely different holy zonai sword not whatever the fuck she decided to do in the spur of the moment. I MEAN LIKE IT AT LEAST WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HER INSTANT FIRST CHOICE

[tears-of-hyrule]

The sense I'm getting from the Tears of the Kingdom artbook is that the project was initially developed with the intention to allow the player to learn about the Zonai civilization through the ruins they left behind. The concept art of the sky islands showcases a range of unique designs, while the environmental concept sketches of the Depths and other underground areas is quite detailed and diverse.

Based on a few of the notes for the character designs, it seems that the developers ultimately decided to eliminate or simplify the elements of Tears of the Kingdom that weren't already present in Breath of the Wild. This is a shame if it's indeed the case, because it means that the underdeveloped lore and generic area design was a deliberate choice.

NOW SPELL: ANGEL Z-E-L-D-A WRONG! TRY AGAIN.

[tears-of-hyrule]

Oh my fucking god??? I *knew* there was something fishy with no writers/quest designers being credited. Also: outsourcing is not an excuse not to credit the gamedevs doing hard and deserving work.

This is genuinely contemptful towards everyone involved, gamedevs and players alike. I am actually outraged now.

rough concept for the quest of repairing the mastersword; getting the dragons blessing from eldra

(totk rewritten project)

[tears-of-hyrule]

me: what if we subverted the imperialism trope with zelda realizing that rauru is the aggressor in the equation because 100 years is not enough time to wash away her diplomatic skills and she just knows that the gerudo people would not be hostile if not for a justifiable reason. sure, it takes a while for her to gain ganondorf's trust just based on her association with rauru and sonia, but he does end up trusting her somewhere down the line and fills her in on what's happening. she's absolutely horrified. as a result, she works alongside ganondorf to seal away rauru by gathering the sages and convincing them to protect their respective domains from conquest. but here's the twist: what if link still gets mentored by rauru's spirit at the beginning, and thinks rauru is a benevolent king? imagine zelda's last words to him in the final memory, nothing but a frenzied "link, do not trust the king of darkness!" but he doesn't know which king: ganondorf or rauru, because the gloom has corrupted ganondorf's body and rauru, who had unsettled him since the beginning. but then he realizes it's rauru, and it's deliciously ironic since rauru's power is light but as always, every light has a shadow.

Yeah the characters in the new game are cool but have you heard about the champions from Breath of the Wild

[tears-of-hyrule]

I wish Zelda had her own dragon set so I made myself a reference for what I think it could look like so I can paint it later. I think she has more than earned it to look like the ancient hero that she is

and I rlly like u!
