Priorities
i WILL live to see the zelda movie in 2 years
people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

New side-quest added to adventure log:
I am so obsessed with this game that I learned its Hylian writing system
_*_
And all for the cheap price of 20 rupees or smth (can’t remember my brain is fried I’m so tired lmao)
This is a post of appreciation for the stable guy in BoTW/TotK who keeps being tasked (by me) with retrieving my horse (stuck in dangerous places) and always delivers
Cliffs? Sure
Rivers? Got it
Gleeok fire range? Not a problem
A part of the map where reality breaks and ground no longer exists? Already done
Dude is the most powerful creature in all Hyrule and simply chooses to use his might to fetch my horse, who I've named DUI
Hell yeah! Nothing will ever match the feeling of just wandering through Hyrule and just seeing the views. This game is legendary.
I loaded Breath of the Wild just to share these screenshots with y’all! Enjoy!
*checks to see if I've reblogged this before* ehhhh never mind. also the last one is the superior way to sleep. if you catch me on the floor not curled up in the fetal position i'm dead.

ZZZZZ
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!
It's my first time being here on tumblr for a Linked Universe update and oh my gods. I cannot express how incredible it is to see so many people just geeking out over this? I've definitely echo-chambered myself into this slice of the internet but either way, this is such a cool thing we've all got going on here and I wanted to put that thought out into the world. Yes I'm still quite new to tumblr but this community is the reason why I want to be here and contribute to it in the ways that I can. Props to @linkeduniverse for bringing so many people together with this masterpiece. And props to EVERYONE who's been here in the past 9 hours reblogging the update, writing character analyses, making memes, reacting, and just generally being excited about this. And not only for Linked Universe but also thank you to everyone in this corner of the fandom world making goddamn amazing fanfiction, art, comics, headcanons, memes, and everything that I missed.
So yeah, thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Show the amazing people who make this community so great some love. They're awesome. <3
Hell yeah. Wild with sensory issues 100%.
New Wild Headcanon: Sound Sensitivity
(Works for LU Wild or just BotW Link in general.)
Ok so, Wild’s Hyrule is kinda empty compared to some of the others. Wild’s used to silence and quietness which leaves me to think that he would probably be sound sensitive. Yes, there is a few towns in BotW that are kind of big, but it doesn’t really get as big as what we see Castle Town used to be, or even the castle itself.
So, if Wild took a trip to Time’s Castle Town for instance, Wild could get a bit overwhelmed by all the sound. (Also to LU Wild, his damaged ear might be sensitive, even if it is fully healed.) He’d probably express needing to get a breath of fresh air (No pun intended-) to one of the others and find a more quiet spot to calm down. What do you guys think?
This looks so wrong but I also didn’t realize what was weird for like a full 5 seconds. I might be sleep deprived.
I literally got hints on this one before I caved and looked it up (I do not have that true gamer grindset mindset I'm sorry) and STILL STRUGGLED TO FIND IT. I WALKED PAST IT LIKE FIVE TIMES AND COULD NOT RECOGNIZE IT AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
This fucking memory in Botw that is just in the middle of a dense forest that could be anywhere with not a single landmark
DUDE THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! THE TEAR ON LINK’S FACE NOOO

Hey, LU fandom. It’s been a while ;-;
(Unintentional redraw of this post)
Some people say the Legend of Zelda series has too many different ancient sky-dwelling precursor civilisations. I say those people are cowards. The next Zelda game should feature the ruins of an ancient sky-dwelling precursor civilisation whose statues and murals all inexplicably look exactly like Tingle.
