(totk rewritten/botw 2 wip)

yes i am making 'new' arrow types that you craft with material in bulk (essentially like the new types in totk but crafting them instead of having to fuse it for each single one- to be specific, ZELDA crafts them for you bc i think its great to give her more stuff to do, the same will work with weapons and repairing weapons but that i will lock behind quests as i mentioned before, maybe you will select the stuff and then keep playing while she does a lil animation and then throws it back to you when in combat, otherwise you can make multiple at once so it doesnt take too much time- or you approach her and open an extra menu for crafting/repairing)

what are the best effects i should include? :3

I’ve been wanting to make a Genshin rewrite/rework at some point!

I might do something similar to Ganondoodles’ TotK rewrite! (Which you should totally go check out LOL)

If you guys have any ideas on how I can make more content out of these reworks, besides redesign images and me spewing out ideas, please LMK!

BTW thank you to those who made those wonderful compliments on my Ghoulia post! It means so much to me!

Anywho here’s Lumine and Venti!

Thinking of having my version of Genshin be similar to Persona 5 LOL (I’m addicted to Persona 5 HEEEEELP)

rough concept for the intro; escaping from reawakened ganondorf

more totk rewritten/botw 2 concept wips

im removing the mayoi (frogs in caves) bc i dont like how satori and its aesthetic was turned from something mysterious and otherwordly to yet another collectable-

so im turnign the frog idea into a single thing living in the underground as a counterpart to satori itself- perhaps it resides in a giant tree growing from the ceiling bc i ASLO didnt like how there was that at first cool looking underground tree with all the rumis (rabbit things) but then it was quite literally nothing (again)

this idea is pretty new so i am still working on the details, im all ears for suggestions :P

worked a bit more on this piece of concept art but i feel like i need to practice these screenshot-like paintings more q-q

(totk rewritten project)

cutscene concept :3

ganondorf armor set??

(quick doodle before work, also for the totk rewritten project weeee)

Sonia redesign + Zelda (ancient)

she is the one to seal ganondorf in an intentionally cruel way to take revenge for him killing rauru

she also had a daughter from a previous marriage that she named Zelda after an ancient legend from long forgotten times; while she technically had both time and light powers, she could only take ahold of one (struggeling to grasp a certain power you are pressured to awaken reference ;) ) which is time, it was not the one she was supposed to manifest as her status was always associated with light, in her younger years she was often looked down upon but despite that later proved to be a capable leader

shortly after her first marriage was ended rauru and the rest of the remaining sonau (engl zonai) came from the underground to warn the folks living on the surface from a great evil that was told about in ancient texts they had found while mining desperately for the stones they had grown reliant on for survival

this warning later evolves into the plan to seal ganondorf away before he could even become a threat, through all those discussion and planning sonia and rauru grew closer and eventually married; the plan was to be executed in secret to give ganondorf no time to even consider to reveal what demon they believed he really was, but the secret got out and ganondorf enacted a counterattack in the form of stealing one of the enigma stones in order to put pressure on the hyrulian kingdom, but he gets betrayed by the gerudo that will be their sage in the last confrontation, however in the time that the gerudo sage takes to warn sonia and mobilize to save rauru ganondorf has already confronted him and though he did not plan to kill him he does so, more on accident really, as rauru did not listen to a single word he said but instead acted erratic like a helpless man trapped in a cage with a hungry bear, essentially starting a fight of life and death

when sonia arrives at the scene it is already to late; thanks to the enigma stone ganondorf can escape her grief-striken rage but sonia is out for revenge and sees him killing rauru as proof of the warnings of old, she wages war and at the end seals ganondorf in a cruel cage between life and death, even at the cost of her own life

her daughter, having witnessed it all, grows up bitter and determined to make hyrule a kingdom that will never fall again

(totk rewritten project)

(WIP! totk rewritten/botw 2 concepts) i love the shiekah tech aesthetic but i do not like trying to line it- but for the purpose of this project i think it gets the idea across

gonna put more info on the full concept later :3

(totk rewritten/botw 2 concepts)

Vah Narisha! elaborated on things and slightly polished it

(info written on there but for ease of reading writing it here again)

-its a prototype titan (divine beast) that crash landed on an island and was left there, its name is based on the big sky whale from skyward sword (its german name)

its very overgrown and half broken, with its tail hanging off the edge, but if you try to use the infusion power of links shiekah arm it will suddendly twitch and empty your entire energy meter immediately since it uses more power than you could provide on your own- serving as a hint that it can be reactivated

once its reactivated (zelda helps, perhaps with a quest attached) it will fly in circle patterns across the sky, you cannot control it (its still a half broken prototype after all) but you can use it as a place to rest and reach other islands that are very hard to reach otherwise

single parts will suddendly move and twitch or freeze as its ... a damaged prototype, its a slight hazard as the shaking can throw you off if you are standing in a bad spot (but not so much you cant reach it again), occasionally it will lose some parts

unlike the "modern" titans, who require the main energy network sourced from mainly ganondorf as their power source if there is no pilot/champion (thus stopped working after the intro), vah narisha draws energy from its surroundings, just like links arm does, so its still able to function even after gan wakes up; however the amount available is barely enough to keep it afloat and that only moving very slowly too- it is unclear if the reason for other malfunctions or unavaible controls is bc of lack of power or damage, probably being both, but after taking off there is no way to try and repair it further since you cant control it and it would pose a danger by falling if misshandled so its mostly left to its own devices

its not required for anything of the main story or to traverse the sky, but it is a cool thing and can make it easier to reach things, the idea for it is mainly from the unused prototype hanging in the hateno lab in botw since my goal is to make totk into botw 2 i thought its a neat idea to bring in previously scrapped ideas :3

(totk rewritten/botw 2 concepts, sky area)

a lone survivor of the ancient shiekah (actually alive not mummified- a descendant of those that remained in the sky but cut off from the rest of the world after the ancient king banning their tech- now only he is left of all of them), now caring for the birds of the sky

he lives in an old shiekah lab and uses a nonfunctioning gauntlet (?) and other old tech stuff in a repurposed way, espeically after ganondorf starts to wake up (since in my rewrite hes the srouce of the power- meaning islands are falling and theres a large energy black out) and everything started to lose energy

once you find him you can tame certain birds and register them with him, after doing so if you are in free fall in the sky area (to complete the trio of horses on the ground, dondons in the underground, birds in the sky- but not to ride birds as to not take away all challenge and take away too much of skywards sword) you can call the bird thats flying with you to give you a small boost in height (since building is removed and alot of the traversal in the sky is parasail or grappling hook and the removal of the totk towers, to make falling more punihisng but not too punishing, the height boost while in the sky to correct when you are about to miss an island or increase the distance you can go)

the big hat not just to enable the birds resting on it and it being a signature of the ancient shiekah PLUS protection from the sun as the new addition of the hazard of being sunburned (potentially, its similar to the already existing heat system but for the sky it makes sense no? .. also big hat)

the golden dragon zelda she only does the transformation for the final fight in the sky, here she is just after doing it chasing after 'ganondorf' to save link, she tackles and bites gan to make him let go of link

design notes:

(notes written here again for better reading) - horns are vaguely shaped like the hyrule crest - she has feathers and markings on the nose to reference owls - green mouth to switch the colors around (and neat contrast), bc gan has a blue mouth, zelda now has green, and if link ever was a dragon hed have it red -markings on the head feathers are a reference to the lil things satori and rumi (blupee?) have on their head

(totk rewritten project)

a rough concept for how Dongos (engl. dondon?) work in my rewrite, i want them to actually … be something beside a gem vending maschine :(

more info, both from the image and extra

they are ridable and tameable

slow movement

can climb almost any wall and dig through rocks and ore deposits quickly

they hang on walls here and there in the underground

big mole like front paws for digging and climbing, hooves at the back legs with one big claw so they can hang securely on a wall

two saddles can be attached (for link and zelda)

they have little appendages on their chin for sensing food

Gigama (frox) prey on them, hence their shell and pattern like the ground for hiding (if they get hit by a gigama they will burrow away and you have to call them again)

big orange-white eyes like cave or deep sea creatures so they can take in as much of the little light avaible in the dark

they are now found in small herds but were nearly driven to extinction twice as both the sonau and later the ancient shiekah mined for luminous stones which is their primary food source (hence the glowing of the horns, teeth and claws)

(idea? the yiga have little mini stables in the underground bc they also use the Dongos to get around, once you have at least the mask OR have koga as sage unlocked you can register Dongos at their places and call them while in the depths anywhere as long as they are not in the stable)

i dont think they should be able to get to the surface, or if they do they can only be used at night bc the light of the sun would damage their eyes and/or hurt them otherwise, given that they evolved in nigh total darkness

(totk rewritten project)

more rough concepts for the beast ganondorf phase of the end fight (i wont repeat the details for the cutescene and rest of the end again, i will leave that on the previous post)
