the master sword in the corner O_O NOOOOO

What I wished happened in Tears of the Kingdom 🥲

Been itching to draw something like this since first playing the game.

I absolutely HC that Puppet Zelda's "true form" is a grotesque gloom abomination.

An alternate version of the climax of "Crisis at Hyrule Castle" "lives rent free in my mind. The cat and mouse chase ending in the Sanctum, with Puppet Zelda revealing her true self: an attrocious horrific monster wearing Zelda's face. This is the real her and all this hatred breaks her Zelda looking shell apart. Time for an emotional and tormented final confrontation.

Also, it's my one year Tumblr anniversary!!?? Whhhaaaatttt already?

Thank you for tagging along by small LoZ corner of the interwebs.

Cheers!! AND GLORY TO PUPPET ZELDA!

please let the zelda movie be good please let link be at least a quiet protagonist if not silent please let the zelda movie be good

Why You Should Consider Link Being a Silent Protagonist:

Silent Protagonist ≠ always no dialogue

Silent protagonist does = minimal dialogue, grunts, sparse moments of communication, or no dialogue at all. It’s a spectrum.

Mute people are relatable beings you can empathize with

Quiet people are relatable beings you can empathize with

Link is narratively described as quiet and has story reasons for being reserved in the 2 latest iterations of Mainline Zelda and its part of his character development that he opens up and DOES speak more. It’s literally acknowledged in the most popular zelda title (BOTW).

Let me reiterate- its part of his character to say very little or to have story reasons for not speaking up at first!

Link is silent in EOW for Plot Reasons, pointing to this being a possibility continual in plot recognition

Link is pointed to as THE example of silent protagonist outside of like, Gordon Freeman. Nintendo literally is acknowledging that in its most recent and popular zeldas.

The movie will draw a lot of inspiration from BOTW and TOTK and you would be in denial if you thought elsewise

Childrens cartoons, blockbuster action movies, art house films, comics, games, and more have characters who chirp their name more than speak or barely speak at all

Some of the most Lucrative characters in media fall into this category and some would argue make more money than any plot or franchise. R2D2, Chewie, and Grogu are a HONEYPOT and Lucas could probably speak ad nauseam about this if he wasn’t busy weeping about how he’s not getting all of it

Young children’s media does not rely on a lot of words to convey concepts

His Windwaker Design is literally inspired by kids cartoons and animation that relies on emotion not words

As a person who spent decades studying children’s media I can tell you kids respond to action and story that relies on physical acting, facial emotions, cause-and-effect, observation, and may things that do not need words

Samurai Jack, Grogu, Chewie, R2D2, Snoopy, Gromit, Pikachu, Groot, Boomhaur, Onion, Schnitzel, Animal, the Minions, Silent Bob, Driver (from drive), Mad Max (fury road), are all examples of popular characters who chirp, babble, or barely speak and people love the piss out of them

Movies started without audio and again the foundational concepts of most storytelling in movies happened *without dialogue at first*

Physical acting is a theatrical medium that both adults and children respond positively to

Physical acting is the foundation of fight scenes, chase scenes, stunts, and action in general- things that will be highly features in this movie

Animation, Illustration, and Visual story telling LIKE MOVIES is based on *showing, not telling* for 90% of its time.

James baxter, norman rockwell, charlie chaplin don’t need words to carry bankrolls and make you piss yourself in tears. James Dean also inspired an entire hollywood casting standard based on *staring in vibes*

Some of the most emotionally grappling movies and moments in cinema come from no dialogue in the mix. Up is still fucking you up, and the Piano is a rollercoaster of turmoil because of its silent protagonist. There is literally a No Dialogue cut of Fury Road that fucks and is highly praised

We literally have examples in the GAMES where support characters and other protagonists carry the weight of exposition, conversation, and explanation.

Zelda is right there you twerps, she can do the talking even if she is not with link physically. We literally have examples of this in game too. Midna is also right there, carrying the stone cold plot of Twilight Princess on her quipped up bitch noggin

This whole conversational point about it being hard or impossible or a bad idea is an insult to writers, illustrators, musicians, actors, directors, editors, stage designers, story boarders, makeup artists, cameramen, dancers, game designers, extras, special effects artists, puppeteers, marketing departments, toy designers, STUNTMEN, comic book artists, Miyamoto, audience members, children, adults, quiet people, mute people & their loved ones, the established zelda lore, link’s OWN DAMN CHARACTER IN CANON, and yourself if you believe that

have a better imagination, you deserve it!

Be more curious & open hearted, you deserve it!

There’s no excuse for him to not be quiet in some way other than “they didn’t feel like it, creatively” which is valid and totally acceptable and not a big deal, and could absolutely result in a wonderful portrayal of Link!

This has probably already been done but my solution to having a list of stuff to do this weekend written out in front of me with nothing checked off was to make a low effort meme. Let's pretend the oocca is a manifestation of time (no not Time I'm talking about tick-tock two hands Time).

Also I really love how out of context you could totally look at this scene and see Twilight trauma dumping his entire life on Sky in the first panel, slowly letting his brain catch up to what he's just revealed in the second panel, and then the third panel is just Sky giving the obligatory "um, have you talked to someone about this?" in which the answer is usually some form of "nah it's fine" and then dead silence for a good five minutes.

Also the part where I have to explain it in increasingly stupid ways because some people just cannot understand aromanticism. Or choose not to. I honestly don’t know which one is more depressing. Like no, (friend’s name), this doesn’t mean I don’t think you’re good enough or that I just haven’t met the perfect nameless person yet. That ain’t how it works, buddy.

I dislike being aro. Kinda feels like I'm missing out. Like I love the idea of a relationship, but I'd HATE being in one, and that is HELL.

Silly Game Time: Y'know what this world needs? More giant statues (I'm talking 300 feet or 91.5 meters in height) that depict people joyfully playing musical instruments. So I've decided that a bunch of them shall be raised across the globe next Thursday!

Or, like, Friday at the latest.

You get to pick where one will go! Also what the instrument being played will be, if you like. No exceptions, no restrictions.

Hell yeah let's get one up in my school's soccer field because I never want to do the 12-minute run ever again (lol). In terms of instrument I'll choose voice (hard rock screaming to be exact) because that's how I feel at the moment after bombing a French speaking test. I have so much respect for people who actually play instruments. Thanks for the ask!

Mood

I lowkey want to explode rn

My WIPS are literally all 1 incoherent sentence long. THESE ARE SO COOL!!!

Old WIPS, these won't be finished..

Heyo. Keep living because it always just might get better.

Don't lose hope, my friends!
