One thing I love about Sooga that I realized earlier today is that that whole thing about “A message that concerns Zelda’s impending death” was just him testing the waters to make sure Astor’s words held some truth and Master Kohga wasn’t just being manipulated by some random schmuck off the road (Hence “I suppose destiny is at work then”)

And Master Kohga wasn’t with him either, nor is he ever shown to be aware of what went down, so this was an attack led exclusively by Sooga

Not sure if anyone else's AI does this, but if you don't give Sidon any orders and both him and Mipha are deployed on the map, he'll go towards Mipha and fight alongside her. The only time he'll leave is if you take control of him or tell him to go somewhere.

Link's AI may do this with Zelda too, or maybe all the AI does this if you keep them idle.

!!possible minor spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom, Age of Calamity, and Breath of the Wild!!

Okay so, I've been playing tears of the kingdom, great game by the way, and then I got to thinking. how would that play out in the age of calamity timeline thing??

Since Age of Calamity is an alternate universe of the events in botw, where instead of the champions dying and all that stuff, they lived and won against Ganon the first time. And so I was thinking, since y'know Link and Zelda weren't basically in a state of dormancy for 100 years and had probably had a normal life after that, and lived their normal lifespans, what would be happening those approximate 100 years later?

There are so many different possibilities going on in my head. Like, Link and Zelda likely would've passed on by the time of totk events if we're in the aoc timeline. So, would there be new incarnations to find ganondorf? and if he wasn't found, would he just be sitting there for awhile, or would he just break free and wreck havoc?

The last two possibilities I can think of is maybe Link and Zelda just being super old and guiding the new incarnations. I mean, Impa we know lives to over 100 years old as of totk's time. Or maybe we just have old Link and Zelda fighting him lol. or maybe Purah could use that age regressing rune on them.

I'd say maybe they could go back in time, but Zelda likely wouldn't have the secret stone to go back in time is the thing.

I just had this thought randomly and I needed to write it down before I forgot lol

So I started Age of Calamity (spoilers btw), and can I just say? Main antagonist? Deadass looks goofy. I laughed when I saw his face. BotW was a visual masterpiece with enough interesting stuff that after playing for 9 months consistently I was done. I roll up to AoC, and THIS doofy ass mf is the big bad

I was expecting the same visuals of Calamity Ganon. Like I understand LoZ is a goofy game most of the time, but you cannot have young Impa, Urbosa, and Mipha one second then this college dropout lookin ass who can't blend his contor. U just can't

A bit of headcanon (?) Revali before being a champion timeline brainrot that I'll post so I can take note of since I was making a character sheet for my oc and may help others too if they loved both AOC and BOTW cutscenes like me.

AOC shows a different timeline from BOTW, so for awhile, I was confused how I wanted to implement that, then I totally forgot- Zelda literally visits Revali in another time before the DLC cutscene as written in Revali's Diary. So, I came up with this headcanon.

I just think the AOC Cutscene technically happened as the first time we meet Revali. The problem would be because Link didn't have the Master Sword until later on when all the champions gather to get it in Korok Forest WHICH wouldn't make sense since Revali refers to Link as "the little knight with the darkness-sealing sword" in the BOTW DLC.

I like to think that just like in the journal, Revali heard rumors about Vah Medoh and heard rumors as well as it being just as or even more important than the darkness-sealing sword (Because you know, rumors can be exaggerated.) Anyway, somehow, when Zelda comes to visit Rito Village, there was a snowstorm just like in AOC. Difference is, Revali uses this in advantage to test Link's strength as I do recall one of the secret dialogue he has in the DLC that he'd love to settle the score with Link. They have their little duel just like in AOC until the princess stops them both from their duel much to Revali's dismay. Zelda then dismisses Link to talk to Revali. This is where the fourth entry of Revali's Diary is implemented. When Revali hears that he's just there to support Link, he's totally not for it. It's only when Zelda pleads and just like in the diary, Revali thinks about it and gives her time before telling her. BOTW's DLC Cutscene happens sometime later after. Link isn't around since Zelda was constantly trying to avoid him during the whole time until he rescued her. We all know what happens in the cutscene and the rest is history.

I just made this for anyone who likes continuitiy and a timeline for their stories, so I hope I made it somewhat clear?

I can’t believe people say Robbie’s voice acting in Age of Calamity is too over the top. The man literally has guitar riffs play every time he does a pose. Hammy is his default state, in fact I think I’d complain if his voice acting wasn’t hammy and over the top.

WHY DID THEY BREAK MY LITTLE EGG BOY LIKE THAT

imagine if you told someone you were in love with him and he was like sorry. I have to go reform the two party system

love how the botw fandom went fucking wild when age of calamity came out in 2020. and no one talks about it anymore. don’t you remember HIM?????

and THEM??.

and all of THIS????

Riju with short hair, two swords, and Urbosa’s lightning powers my beloved

“Fat characters wouldn’t be able to fight as effectively as skinnier characters” mfs when they see Master Kohga in Age of Calamity

whoever designed totk purah deserves a big smooch on the lips

*Tears of the Kingdom Spoilers*

Playing through the Wind Temple quest has given me even more love and respect for Revali in retrospect because now it’s confirmed that he was literally just a guy™️.

All of the other champions were direct descendants of the sages who fought in the Imprisoning War, except him. He had no special powers or magic passed down through his bloodline, he was just some guy who was good with a bow. He had to develop and perfect his own technique to help him in battle on his own, no other Rito had ever done it before.

Which makes the fact that he, without any noble blood or fancy magic, was able to fight alongside the descendants of the sages AND the Hero of Destiny AND the divine princess/descendant of Rauru and Sonia even more impressive. His outward confidence and ego makes sense when you consider that he was constantly trying to prove himself to everyone, that he was a strong warrior despite not being born with power.

It’s also really sad that in the end, Revali’s bloodline ended with him whereas the other champions at least got to die knowing that their family and loved ones would live on. The only things that serve as a reminder of his existence are the Great Eagle Bow and Revali’s Landing. Almost everyone in Zora’s domain remembers Mipha and honors her memory with an entire courtyard for her statue, Daruk has his face carved in a literal mountain, but Revali is rarely mentioned in TotK. (Urbosa doesn’t really have anything but shhh this aint about her) No one that knew him is still alive, except maybe the former chief owl guy?

That also begs the question of wtf was the Rito sage doing at the time of the Calamity, but honestly they probably were just some random person with no combat experience, given that they didn’t know they were a sage :P

tldr; Revali is the best champion no I don’t take criticism
