Me before completing the forest temple: okay I get that ocarina of time is fun and nostalgic for people but it’s a bit of a stretch to call it one of the greatest video games of all time

Me after completing the forest temple: By revealing that Link is not a Kokiri, but a Hylian, the game effectively strips him of his humble origins amongst a group of people that already fail to recognize him in his adult form. Thus, kokiri village instantly becomes a location that is no longer Link’s home in any sense, exacerbated by the fact that the game now loads up in the temple of time instead of Link’s bedroom— he is a stranger in the only place that has ever been familiar to him and he is depressingly reduced to his destiny alone. However, the subsequent introduction of the time travel mechanic, which allows the player to travel from the horrific apocalyptic future back to the idyllic past of Link’s childhood, gives new meaning to the idea of this “destiny”. In effect, Link is not a stock “chosen one”, but a protagonist who consciously decides to fight onwards. Link’s dual existence as a child who knows the grim future and as an adult who was powerless to stop disaster gives a sort of desperation to his character, because while it brings the player relief to revisit the Castle Town that is populated by cheerful villagers instead of lurking zombies, the story can only be progressed through the acknowledgement of reality — the decision to make those seven years pass again. Therefore, both the player and Link as a character must be proactive in their heroism and make the conscious choice to struggle onwards despite the darkness that permeates—

#veesaysthings #ocarina of time #fantasy story: yeah the protagonist can never go home again. Me: OH MY GOD THEY CAN NEVER GO HOME AGAIN #Im dearly sorry for all the Zelda posts #I’m getting my shit rocked by ocarina for real #(no spoilers I literally JUST got to this point in the game)#thank you so much to my friend who is forcing me to play this #I will cry at all the temples though bc I am so awful at puzzles pls I am so dumb

Do you have any particular headcannons about your au au ancient trio? 👀

I remember you saying Zelda and Ganon would be business partners while Link works his food truck, but I'd love to know if you have any more thoughts on their backgrounds and dynamics! 🙏

Im so sorry this took 5 million years! my brain has been mush 🙈

Zelda

-CEO(in training) some company related to politics/gov??

-Taking after her Father shes learning the way of the company, although a bit reluctantly.

-Impa is training her and basically is running it all behind the scenes since Zelda is a bit irresponsible at times and gets tunnel vision (thank you saviour Impa)

-She is very stylish but isnt afraid to mess up her outfit, take off her heels, roll up her sleeves etc.

-still a bit immature and not taking everything as serious as she maybe should but she is very intelligent and smart just struggles to focus on her job.

-impa usually would bring her food but work was really getting her frustrated one day so she went for a walk outside and found Links food truck, and now frequents it as often as she can...because the food is some of the best shes had....and a cute chef to boot.

-She brought Ganon there as soon as she could!

-she tries to get links number once but was to embarassed but the next day when she went to get food at the truck she finds his number on the inside of the lid

Link

-Local Food Truck Employee ( Farosh Eats or something like that)

-he's in charge of the one that frequents that business area; his family owns a few of them

-they probably serve some mediteranian type food. Comforting but fresh and refreshing too.

-his sister comes by to help part time or is sometimes found nearby doing homework

-Sometimes hes found napping on the job when its slow but usually wakes up as soon as someone approaches.

-link memorizes everyones orders

-gives zelda and ganon (and others!) extra treats since he knows they work so hard especially when he knows theyve had a hard day

-makes food so skillfully it looks like magic and it tastes delicious (wielding those utensils like some kind of weapon)

Ganondorf

-CEO ( maybe an electric company like vah nabooris related or gov/politics)

-works close and deals with zeldas fathers company in some capacity.

-took it upon himself to mentor zelda sometimes, especially since they've known eachother since they were young. He wants to see her succeed and do better than her father. who he thinks is running the country/business into the ground

-when working there is no funny business but as soon as its break time he can switch off.

-he takes on a ton of work and gets a bit annoyed at his coworkers (the other gerudo) who try to help him and maybe baby him sometimes and his mother who calls him constantly. he loves them dearly though.

-Loves the coffee link makes and that the food isnt super greasy.

-tips link and others generously

-no hair out of place, he looks very polished

-has his set routine and doesnt like to deviate to much but he will for his loved ones

Alternate Modern Au: Mcdonalds

(an excerpt from my friend)

the 3 of them are on Night shift duty together consistently. Night shift cause it’s quiet and you know they’d try to fill the time but could be day shift for the rowdy customers they get. You can chose who is shift manager but I pegged Link as level headed enough to be promoted and the other two are like cook and cashier. The AU is told through the lens of Zelda’s instagram posts of all the shit they get up to or even all 3 of their instas reflecting their personality in regards to what stunt they pull? Could even customize the uniform to their styles too?

link and zelda could do tiktoks and ganon just shakes his head and they joke that hes an old man

zelda wants to fight asshole customers

Some rough ideas at least! thank you for asking 💞

#ancient loz au #redundantz ask #redundantz speaks #modern au #bruh i dunno anything about companies and ceos LOL #but its fun au ideas
