Revali Headcanons I Came Up With

Revali headcanons I came up with

- Avid linguist, loves language

- have you heard him talk?? His voice is like silk and he knows it

- knows the basics of every language just so he can switch out of nowhere and watch everyone be surprised/amazed

- loves using long confusing words when talking to people he hates so he can be like “oh, sorry- you don’t understand? I’ll put it into dumber words next time”

- give him a dictionary, he’ll become insufferable for the next couple days (or weeks)

- hates adults, loves kids. They’re small and easily amazed and love him. He let’s his guard down in favor of talking to them- which evolves into him mothering random kids, especially rito children. Tells them to keep their conversations a secret tho

- has to resist the urge to pick up and walk off with people’s children (they’re his now). He probably once accidentally abstemindedly braided a little girl’s hair then had to bribe her not to tell her parents that THE great Revali braided her hair and told her a story

- doesn’t want anyone to see him holding one because he doesn’t want to seem somft. Will probably adopt a kid or two once he finds a mate

- king of trash talk

- he’ll make surface insults, but heavens forbid you call him anything back. He’ll become the definition of verbal assault and won’t let up even when you wave the white flag, if anything he’ll just get worse

- Don’t get into a name calling contest with Revali. He’s a dictionary of mean words. Not even swear words either, he gets really creative with insults. Asinine is one of his favorites.

- Likes putting things around his neck, usually scarves but probably wears necklaces on his own time- maybe even under the scarf. Admires gerudo jewelry a lot, and if Urbosa maybe caught him once buying a gerudo choker to put under his scarf, she doesn’t say anything

- Gets along with Urbosa the best. Mipha and him just don’t talk much because she doesn’t like him being mean. Daruk, well he doesn’t like death mountain and Daruk kinda gets on his nerves. Zelda and him bond over being exasperated with Link, he has great sympathy for her because she’s worked herself to the bone yet has nothing to show for it. Urbosa can kind of understand his want to prove himself to the world, she doesn’t mind his insults- she’s thick skinned. They both bond over being protective of Zelda.

- Plus he likes gemstones, although he’d never admit it if asked. Talus hunting is a favorite pastime of his because if he kills it then the gems are all his. Doesn’t even sell them, just takes them to jewelers to be made into pretty jewelry. Sapphire in particular. Has a lot of pretty stuff, but doesn’t wear it because he’s still a warrior.

- Probably has a chest plate made specifically for heat control, Urbosa got it for him so he doesn’t have an excuse when she drags him to something out in the desert. (He’s good for molduga hunting). She trades him hydromelons for wildberries when they see each other.

- has a little war going on with Link.

- Tried everything he could think of to get Link to fight him- no use. The Hylian instead started acting nice to try and get Revali to stop harping on him. It pisses off and flusters Revali because he has no idea how to fight with nice.

- Extra Revalink Headcanons below

- One sided fight. Revali called Link a bitch, and in response Link gave him a Christmas present. Even worse Revali couldn’t reject it because it was a pearl necklace with a diamond in the middle- how on earth did Link figure out his shiny obsession??

- has no idea what to do about Link. Nothing’s working

- Urbosa accidentally sees it one day and asks where he got it, and Revali has to do the whole “oh this I’ve had it for ages I honestly don’t remember” thing, while Link’s in the background grinning because Revali actually liked it.
