Bold of you to assume I haven’t seen this. In fact I think I reblogged this. And then went down a rabbit hole of researching IST before realizing I was probably overreacting to the whole thing lol.
I see your 'Sky has asthma and that's why he can't run', and I raise you: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, and that's why he can't run.
Now, before you run away because you've never even heard of IST, hear me out. (If you don't know the condition, it's a dysautonomic heart condition vaguely similar to POTS, just without the low blood pressure.)
We all know Sky's lived above the clouds with minimal oxygen levels his entire life, as have most of his decedents, so it wouldn't make sense for him to have shitty lungs, right? That's where IST comes in. See, it's not related in the slightest to physical health or upbringing, it's just a non-genetic thing that is due to your sinus being a bit funky. It's also not life threatening, so that takes away from Skyloft needing to have non-canonical advanced medical procedures. IST's main symptom is that it severely decreases your stamina by making your heart race and you become extremely out of breath, often meaning you have to stop and wait for a bit for your heart to calm down.
Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so too.
However, and here's the real seller- unlike asthma, you can just power through and not die. It really, really sucks, but this ability is quite the gamebreaker for me when you think about all of the extreme physical tasks Sky has completed in game, not to mention his swordplay, that if he had exercise induced asthma would've very likely set off an attack. With IST tho, yes it would feel like you were dying, but it is absolutely be possible to just power through your symptoms and have no adverse effects except from your extreme discomfort and fatigue afterwards.
TLDR: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia because it fits him so much better than asthma, as someone who has both asthma and IST. And no, this isn't just me projecting my hyper specific heart condition onto one of my favourite characters, what do you mean....
I can feel the hyperfixation energy building. It’s getting real.
I am so obsessed with this game that I learned its Hylian writing system

@i-love-zelda-16 I had no idea you were the one putting up all of those memes and fanarts and reblogs until I decided to scroll through your stuff and realized I’D ALREADY SEEN AND LIKED A BUNCH OF THINGS!!!
The best part about getting a like is that I can immediately go and stalk this stranger who happened to enjoy the thing I threw onto the internet. Because apparently I’ve been spamming a lot of them with likes for the past couple days too and just not realizing who they were.
ngl I thought he was half-buried lmao

Wisdom: doing the apparatus shrines in BOTW the way they’re intended
Courage: going fuck it and shaking the Switch like my last brain cell in a soda can and praying for the best.
Power: using stasis on the stupid metal balls and yeeting them across the shrine in frustration after failing both methods listed above
