Curate, connect, and discover
Doodles from today of my trio for my loz au that only exists in my mind lol
Dude. I don’t know if other people have thought of this before, but you know how the head guard Teake says you can join the Gerudo guard when you’ve completed your quest? What if Link actually did? He just poses as a girl for a while and joins the guard! And all the Gerudo think this little Vai is slightly strange but they accept her and welcome her with open arms after everything she’s done for them.
The Calamity has been defeated, the people start to rebuild, the land starts to prosper. An awakened hero and a the victorious princess work to help the people of Hyrule, although it is common to not see them together...the exact circumstances that caused this are unknown
Around this same time, the Gerudo Guard enlists a new member, the Hylian who has assisted Chief Riju in taming Divine Beast Vah Naboris
As the princess works to connect the people of the kingdom, stories and epic tales begin to travel. Rito tell Zora of the fierce battle in the sky, a determined boy and a gruff warrior fighting and dodging death mid-air. Gorons brag to Sheikah of the rise of their strong and brave generations, a young Hylian lad helping a bold and heroic Goron youth to tackle the might of pure lava and stone.
Most of the stories add up, a blonde boy, a master of the blade, youthful in looks but experienced in survival. Indeed, the tales add up for the most part, except for one small detail.
Ask any Gerudo and they will boast of the cleverness of their leader, their Chief who used an ancient relic and the help of a Sheikah Slate wielding Hylian vai to best a mighty beast. Such a story might confuse a typical traveler, if a vai, a girl, had entered the Divine Beast, what had happened to the boy from the other stories? The courageous knight?
Link’s secret is aided by time, as it takes a while for news to travel across a post apocalyptic land. Though thankfully, and un-thankfully, things are made easier by the efforts of connection and unification by the freed princess. In no time, news spread of the Hylian vai, who’s victories over the desert were so amazing it had earned them a spot in the Gerudo Guard.
Perhaps one day, Link’s a bit carefree, and doesn’t notice a lumbering crowd, Tourist and travelers alike, recognizing the tufts of blond hair and sky blue eyes.
Questions start to form, mild mannered shouts and whispers too. Link’s cheeks start to warm at the sudden attention and questions.
The hero tries to ignore most of the questions, content in just living their life as a Gerudo guardsperson. It’s not like he has to explain himself, most of the other Gerudo here by now know the truth. Nonetheless, Zora, Hylian, and all races alike rush to pester the legendary knight.
Are you truly a man? Why do the Gerudo allow you in? Why do *you* get to break the rules? Wait, were you pretending to be a boy? Are you a different hero? Are you even a knight? Etc, etc. Link’s heard it all before and shys away.
Eventually, someone in the crowd snidely asks what exactly is in the hero’s pants...
Link suddenly stops in his tracks, and whips around with the speed of a gale. The hero doesn’t miss a beat, winking at the crowd with a seductive smile
“Courage,” they answer with a smirk. Before unfurling the cape on their back to reveal a non-binary flag. Link then proceeds to run off and rides the Master Cycle into the sunset, flipping on a pair of froggy sunglasses. A Rick Astley song plays in the background probably followed by Smash Mouth. End Scene
okay so,,, sonia is an incarnation of hylia, right?
spoilers and theory below cut
we know that the hylians of rauru’s time are descendants of skyloft, or at least it is heavily implied.
it’s said that the zonai come from the sky, but what if skyloft wasn’t the only sky civilization?
i think the zonai civilization peaked, and eventually fell, centuries after the events of skyward sword. the lanayru sand facilities are abandoned, suggesting that zonai once roamed the earth but lifted up into the heavens along with skyloft.
I believe the zonai people stayed in the sky after the sealing of demise, and that rauru and mineru only came to earth after the death of their people.
in the zonai survey team scroll quest line, which describes events in the past, sonia is not a princess but a priestess.
we know that rauru came to earth and established the kingdom, and he married sonia because she intrigued him, but what if it was also because she was the goddess incarnate?
we know that the incarnate cycles work very differently from each other: zelda is born every generation, usually within the ruling family, and will always live. link is born randomly and only when he is needed. ganon is evil, and so his existence is an everlasting festering curse, but a gerudo male is born every hundred years and every one has a small chance of being ganondorf.
that being said we know rauru’s time didn’t have a wielder of the sword, but definitely had an incarnate of the goddess.
it would explain sonia’s powers, and why she recognized zelda. it would explain why rauru risked his safety to marry sonia. and it would explain why ganondorf ultimately targeted and killed her, harnessing not only her secret stone but her godly light.
