it is beyond frustrating to see the loz series so dedicated to going in such a new & innovative direction in regards to gameplay, yet still so stagnant in regards to the story. like, sorry to be that person but the fact that it's 2023 & you STILL can't play as zelda in any of the main games is mind-boggling to me. even in totk, a major part of the story still revolves around rescuing- sorry, finding her. she has such a deep meaningful story (which is a step in the right direction, for sure!), but the player can only experience it secondhand as link. she is allowed to be a companion character, but only for the first 5 minutes of the 100+ hours you can spend in the game, as a little teaser for the OTHER companions you get much later (who pretty much all suck except tulin & sort of yunobo, but that's another post). we see her sacrifice, but we only get small snippets of the experiences that led up to that sacrifice. she is put through so much trauma & has to make this impossible choice, & we don't even get to grieve her properly or tell anyone what became of her. & by the end of the game, it doesn't matter because she's back to her regular old self, same as she was before she swallowed the stone, with no lasting physical or mental effects whatsoever, because why should her sacrifice actually have any meaning outside of how it served link? & before anyone argues with me for saying that, yes obviously it did have meaning outside of how it served link. but the way she is restored in the most ridiculous deus ex machina i've ever seen in a zelda game cheapens it severely. everything magically gets fixed by rauru & sonia, & just like link's arm, zelda is left no worse for wear, because of course we can't possibly have our main characters permanently changed by any of these horrific events they've lived through, oh no nothing like that.
link saves the day & gets rewarded with the beautiful princess.
this IS the basic story of almost every single zelda game & you can split hairs all you want, but it's the same with totk as well & i'm just so beyond sick of it. i think zelda (the character AND the series as a whole) deserves so much better than that.
#i'm not gonna pretend like the plots of most loz games aren't still good. especially botw/totk (although i prefer botw). because they are!#but i don't understand why they seem to be so stuck in this mindset of keeping zelda as a side character instead of letting her actually...#oh i don't know...do stuff? at least in botw/totk she's been given a more realistic personality than she's ever been afforded in other game#& she actually has some agency. but... what does that *really* mean when it still amounts to link having to rescue her?#i just want them to give her a character arc that we (either playing as her or as link) get to experience alongside her.#i feel like she's earned at least that much. but that would require nintendo to actually give a shit about her as a character#separate from link so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess i'll just fuckin die then lmao#princess zelda#c: the silent princess#c: princess of hyrule#the legend of zelda#tloz: totk#totk spoilers#totk posting#🎮 tag#this is worded so badly but i;m posting it anyway idc 😘#send tweet

Unrelated to the other asks, but do u have any queer headcanons for the Chain?
On the record, every single character I have ever written is bi unless I say otherwise.
So here are a few otherwises:
Wind is AroAce
Twilight is straight
Legend is gay
Sky identifies as straight, but everyone around him is like "uhhhh are you sure about that???" and then when he's in his 40s, he realizes he is bi and is like "why did no one tell me???" and everyone else is like "we did tell you!!!!"
For some gender headcanons:
Legend is nonbinary, would describe his gender as "male slightly to the left, female every other Thursday"
Wild, Twilight, and Hyrule are transmasc (I did my best to establish this in CTB by mentioning that they had a game where they tried to poke each other's top surgery scars, but the reference is so fleeting that it honestly does not count and I'm currently trying to find another point in the story to bring it up)
Time was not raised with a gender. Once he was introduced to the whole gender concept when he started exploring Hyrule, he spent a lot of time soul-searching to figure out what he was. And after many years of existential anguish, he realized he was just Some Guy.
Bonus Linkle headcanon under the cut:
(Linkle is bi with a strong preference for girls)
#in writing this i realized that I didn't mention wild's top surgery scars when he put on the voe armor which cmon frankie#we're on a mission here#btw all my headcanons are pretty fluid so I'm never married to any one idea#except sky not realizing he's bi until he's later in life. I'll take that one to my grave#and yes the time one is a reference to that one tweet you know the one#me rambling#ask#anonymous#lu ctb#linked universe#lu twilight#lu wind#lu time#lu warriors#lu wild#lu hyrule#lu legend#lu sky

🍵🍃Hyrulian Beverage Recommendations from various locals and travellers🍵🍃
Some headcanons and notes...
Zelda and Impa go to cafes together and have a great tiem. They are both clean drinkers and rarely ever spill anything.
Groose and Pipit go to cafes together and invariably, Groose somehow gets a milk mustache and spills his drink on his homework every time.
Meiren is a real kind of oolong where bugs are part of the leaf processing method!
Mipha is a sipper, Biggoron is a chugger
Everyone after Link in this list is stretching the boundaries of What Is Officially A Beverage but. When in Hyrule, do as the hyrulians do?
This joke doesn't work in tumblr format as well, but on twitter, I put Tingle on tweet 6 out of 9 because haha nice. ALSO KOMBUCHA LIPS ON MY DICCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK ... GOTTEM
Tag urselves I'm beedle bc i also think, if you put [any edible liquid food] in a mug, you can call it a beverage.
Fi is a mighty machine and the realest of them all
Anyway it was fun thinking of which drinks the characters would like and recommend. Been a while since I thought about Zelda stuff but every time I do, it's always a good time. Thanks again for inviting me to the zine @ homemadehyrule on twt/ig!

The Chain: *Wakes up in the morning*

Warriors: *wakes up with perfect hair and clear skin*
The rest of the chain: Messy hair, messed up sheets, mouth drool, etc*
Legend: Literally how are you doing that!?
Warriors: (smirks) I don’t know? The world just favors beauty I guess.
Twilight: We call him pretty boy for a reason.
Legend: You’re like a Disney princess, I swear.
Hyrule: You’re right, I think I can hear the birds tweeting behind him.
Legend: Oh, don’t give him too much credit. Now you’re just exaggerating—
A blue bird comes in and lands on Warrior’s head.
Legend: …
Legend: Oh for the love of Nayru! Give him a damn tiara already.

Based off of this tweet by @shellshooked
World of Calamity
It’s modern times and hyrule has forgotten its history until an ancient evil rises again and snatches anything in its way.
After the disappearance of Links sister, his mother makes them move to a new town with a private school for troubled kids. Here he meets his new friends including Zelda.
Chapter one has been uploaded.

Personal Thoughts on Yona (No Bashing)
I'm gonna be honest, I hate shipping discourse because at the end of the day, characters aren't real and muting tags, posts, accounts are a thing. I also don't want to clog the Sidlink tag with discourse bc it's bad enough on twitter. However, if there's one thing I've learned about myself, it's that when something's bothering me, I need to talk about it, if only to process it. So, apologies but here I go. I will say that I feel like this is a nuanced take, so I guess if you're interested in that feel free to read. Disclaimer before I go in: there will be absolutely no Yona bashing. This post isn't to bash or attack Yona, anyone who enjoys Yona individually or paired with Sidon. I don't necessarily dislike her as a character, I'm more annoyed at the writing surrounding her introduction.
I've been thinking a lot, and I think the reason that Yona's introduction bothers me so much is because it mirrors (more than likely unintentionally) a pretty annoying heteronormative trope. In Jeffrey Brown's book Love, Sex, Gender, and Superheroes (an amazing analytical book in general, would highly recommend) they note that following the publication of Seduction of the Innocent in 1954 - which claimed amongst other things that Batman and Robin were a couple - there was a sort of moral panic about comic books. This was also during the era of McCarthyism, and so to avoid Senate action, the comic industry created the Comics Code Authority, which partly ensured that "illicit relationships" weren't hinted at, and in 1956 Kate Kane as Batwoman was introduced to be a love interest for Batman to reinforce his heterosexuality.
Now, am I comparing Sidlink to the supposed queer subtext of Batman and Robin in 40s and 50s comics? No. Am I saying that Nintendo purposefully introduced Yona for the same purpose as DC did Batwoman? Not necessarily. I just think it's almost comical how similar the situation feels, and the writing doesn't help either. Now, Yona is apparently Sidon's "dear childhood friend" and is also from a different kingdom. That in and of itself feels so awkward because again, we've had Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity AND their respective DLCs, and not once have gotten mention of Yona or her kingdom. Not in a throwaway line from an NPC, not in the murals of Zora's Domain, not in Mipha's diary. (Also, I know that technically, Age of Calamity isn't canon. But it still had input from the Zelda team, and it provides a supposedly canon view of the settlements in Hyrule before the Calamity.) Especially considering the fact that we get confirmation from Sidon's mural and King Dorephan's dialogue that the engagement to Yona is political/arranged, this engagement was not really foreshadowed in any meaningful way other than this sort of heteronormative notion of "He's a prince so he'll have to get married at some point." Like, Sidon had a whole fanclub in BotW, and not one of them knew?? Did the engagement happen in the six/seven years between BotW and ToTK? Again, for a race of long lived beings like the Zora, that feels a bit hard to believe.
This in particular is what makes her introduction so jarring. We've seen all the countless Twitch and YouTube streamers reacting, the TikToks, the tweets and Tumblr posts of people shocked and disappointed. Here's where I point back to the fact that Aonuma and Fujibayashi even addressed the fact that Sidon was so popular during the BotW DLC Dev Talk. That's not to say they were aware of the ship or even cared enough to have taken the action of mitigating any potential queer readings. Other than reactions to the gameplay and the overall story, I don't think Nintendo particularly cares what we do, think, or ship. But they did know that Sidon in particular was a standout popular character, and so it seems so strange to not pair him off in a more well written way.
That's before even mentioning the whole Zora mural where Sidon parallels his relationship with Yona to that of Mipha, literally calling her a sister. There's also no getting around the fact that he uses that phrasing as in Spanish, French, and the original Japanese (those are the languages I read, so that's what I'm referencing) so it's not an English localization quirk. And I know there's the line about his feelings become more "difficult to quantify" but again, why? Why not just say he admired her instead of comparing her to Mipha in that way if they want to show us there was something there even in their childhood? I know it's meant to be sweet and to depict a sort of growth of feelings between them, but it reads strangely.
So we have these aspects and then we compare this to Sidon's interactions with Link this game. (Also before that, I want to acknowledge something: the vast majority of us who ship Sidlink or just enjoyed Sidon's character were never under the illusion that Nintendo would go towards any canonical romance between Sidon and Link.) We arrive to Zora's Domain to find a statue of us riding Sidon from the Vah Ruta battle. There is a whole Hylian bedroom constructed near the area where Sidon and Link fought Vah Ruta (more built out than the bed area Mipha used). The whole "Link Shrine" Sidon has singing his praises. Sidon literally getting down on one knee, taking OUR HAND in both his hands before presenting us the ring (I know that the other champions say the same oath and give us rings, it's the imagery of a proposal that I'm referring to). Link standing equally distant to Sidon as Yona during Sidon's crowning. Yona telling us that when Sidon speaks it's more than likely to talk about Link. Already Yona's introduction so funnily parallels heteronormative tropes, but to actually have so much imagery and subtext for Sidon and Link makes it feel even more crazy? I think this is where people get so hung up on the idea that "Yona was just introduced to get in the way of Sidlink." Honestly, I think the interactions with Link are more probably concessions for fans (not necessarily shippers) because again, the devs know how popular Sidon is. But it compounds with the manner in which Yona is written into the game.
All that being said, I don't necessarily have a neat conclusion to draw from these thoughts, but going back to the Batwoman parallels, I do think it's a shame Yona won't have to chance to canonically develop further the way Batwoman did. After all, despite her original introduction, most people nowadays think Batwoman and think of Kate Kane, the redhead badass lesbian superhero. But that happened over the course of decades in a medium that iterates narratively on the same characters over and over. Even if we get a story DLC for ToTK that has more Yona content, I don't know that it would be enough to smooth over how awkward her introduction was, and it's hard to believe Nintendo would make another direct sequel or carry over Sidon and Yona to the next version of Zelda. But we can already see Yona's iterative growth through fandom!
Now listen. I know myself, and the truth is I'm never going to actively ship Sidon and Yona. But I'm sure there are amazing artists and writers out there who will flesh Yona and her relationship and history with Sidon out (whether that includes Link in a polycule or not). I'm glad that the game has made the interpretation of a lavender marriage between Sidon and Yona who have their respective paramours possible (with the politically arranged aspect of the marriage, Sidon's boisterous actions concerning Link, Yona's acknowledgement of Link's importance to Sidon). I'm looking forward to fics, standalone art and comics that take that route. I'm sure that there will continue to be art and fanfiction that don't acknowledge ToTK or Yona, and I will surely be consuming those as well. I really hope the homophobia and general discourse towards Sidlink subsides, because it's been surprisingly overwhelming on Twitter. I also hope that there aren't people actively attacking posts about Yona. After all, muting and blocking words, tags, and accounts are options across all social media platforms.
This post will definitely be a one off for me, and I don't ever see myself making another post like this again. I honestly might also delete this post in the future now that I've properly written out my thoughts. Anyways, time to get back to drawing practice and working on my fics.

Still no wifi at my place so take these while I’m on my lunch break at work where there’s free wifi
[ID: Five linked universe edits with screenshots from tumblr, twitter, and Archive of our own.
• The first is legend sitting down and slouching, looking grumpy. Next to him is a Tumblr post from @/tsubomipsycho100 that says "anime haters will make fun of the unnatural hair colours. You wish. You fucking wish you had pink hair and pronouns.
• Image 2 is wild looking distressed with a Tumblr post from @/crowsaresotired that says "besties I might not be 100% stable"
• Image 3 is time, twilight, hyrule, and four in legend's house, messing with his items. Above them is a screenshot of an archive of our own summary that says "Summary: in which they continue to be idiots"
• Image 4 is a picture of time with a tweet from Cydni Beer that says "it turns out as you get older you don't actually figure anything out you just don't have the energy to care anymore."
• Image 5 is legend as a pink rabbit looking curiously at a statue awakened by the dominion rod. There's a Tumblr post that says "take a break watching this little bunny cross your dash" /end ID]
Thank you @despicable-denizen for the ID

forget if you've ever shared your thoughts on Hyrule Warriors Gan, but i would like to know regardless.
HW Gan was my first ever encounter with him and i don't think i can ever be rational about that design ever.
I did live tweet my playthrough a couple of years ago and I lost my goddamn mind when link met him in the middle of the rose garden like it’s not the most romantic set up. He isn’t my favourite in hw cuz I think his armour is very boring but his huge fluffy hair and the Size of that man……. When I finally got to play as Ganon in the beast form I wanted to pet him so badly cuz he looks so soft cuz of the fur texture….. I’m not saying he was the sole reason I played hw but

okay so full disclosure I'm not anon-
anyway I randomly stumbled across your tweet about that ask you got. it totally made my day to see something so positive and heartwarming!! I nearly just kept scrolling, but then realized that I never, y'know, looked at the art they were complimenting?? felt kinda silly to do the exact same thing the anon felt guilty of and not make it right
so anyway that's the story of how I started scrolling through your account for the past 30 minutes and why I literally cannot stop (also fun fact I had already liked a couple of your art pieces without realizing all of them were by you!). I absolutely adore how you render things with so. much. CHARACTER! like that hero of Hyrule drawing?? I can't get enough of how stylized the shading is, especially on those palm fruits :D (i'm not an artist so Idk how to verbalize "drawing make HAPPY" but you hopefully get the point lol)
anyway just wanted to say that the comment from anon brightened my day and I have them to thank for slowing down and actually appreciating your absolutely incredible art ❤️
the original anon actually did send another ask in reponse to people's reactions to the first, so I hope they also see that they moved you to write this. more evidence of the influence they've had on others just by saying what was in their heart!
I'm so grateful that you found me and my work because of the beautiful things they said. lately I've been feeling so overwhelmed by people's comments on my art that I don't even think I have the right words to convey how grateful I am just to read them!
in my case, it's also hard to verbalize "comment make HAPPY" but hopefully you get the point too :')
thank you, thank you, thank you!
