My brain can't pick something to focus on right now, it keeps bouncing between Osomatsu san, The Eltingville club, Panty and Stocking and the Legend of Zelda. AND THE WORST PART IS I PUT MYSELF INTO ART BLOCK CAUSE I DREW PETE DINUNZIO TOO MUCH
Is it weird that I absolutely DESPISE men(AND women) who find purah hot and just sexualize her?? Like she's been so watered down by people for being a hot 'mommy'😔 deadass stopped watching a streamer cause he called her mommy. Like please there's other hot people in the game.
Poor Skyward Link
Sky Link’s ghost visits his successor and immediately regrets it
Wake da wind baby
Reblogging as I'm in the final stretch of the game, I think the tears are referring to the player's to be quite frank with you. Incredibly game through and through!! really surprised me
I dont know how soon I'll purchase TOTK but MAN is it extremely pretty... the final trailer got me spending the whole day on this when it released, zelda never fails in environmental design.
the boi Link ✨
It's ya boi Link 🗡️
Hmm, what if when the Skyloftians left the sky they vaguely still looked like Zonai. Like they had much longer ears, little markings that resembled a closed third eye, and slightly sharper teeth. But after a few generations they turn into Hylians while those that stayed up in the clouds turned into the Zonai we know.
screaming and crying and hitting the wall
Do the blins count? DO THE BLINS COUNT?? Are they sentient enough creatures to know sign language?!?!
aaaaaAAAAAAAA
love it when half awake thoughts are actually pretty cool ideas
so in a lot of legend of zelda fanworks and aus i've found, the creator has link speaking in sign language which is pretty cool in my opinion
But that's got me thinking; what about the other denizens of Hyrule? Not all languages on earth use a universal sign language, so i imagine with such exaggerated diversity (completely different species) in Hyrule, they wouldn't either. Therefore I have come up with some vague-ish ideas of what the other peoples of Hyrule might use as a method of nonverbal communication. I'm using Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom as the base for this.
also note I'm not versed in sign language at all, so there will be mistakes.
I'll start simple, Gerudo.
The Gerudo people are most similar to Hylians in appearance, both are basically humans though they are treated as a different 'species' as far as I can tell. But it still makes sense to me that their sign would be most similar to Hylian sign, just some words might get a bit lost in translation.
Next up, Gorons.
Due to their bulkier appearance and larger hands, their sign might include their arms more prominently. Certain motions and swings might be dangerous for the other species, but other Gorons would be able to take an accidental hit. They do still use their hands and fingers, but less so than the more human-like species, and the motions would be more like a game of charades.
My favorite, Rito.
Due to their fingers also being feathers, Rito use their feet by tapping their claws, clenching toes, or stomping. For more complicated words they lower their wings so their feather-fingers are in view of the person already looking down and combine motions alongside their feet. Rito sign isn't very common however due to the difficulty of standing, signing, and focusing on what they're even trying to say without stumbling. It's even more difficult to understand while in the air. Only those with impeccable balance even bother unless necessary.
And finally, Zora.
If you look at the Zora's design, their gills are along/near the latissimus dorsi, an easy place to see both on land and in water. Due to this and how water can get extremely dark the further you dive, I imagine it would be pretty cool if the Zora could activate some sort of bioluminescence in their gills to flash in sequences similar to morse code. This would make it easy to see even underwater, and the ability to essentially shut the light off would keep them safe from underwater threats. This idea also comes from how I think it would be difficult to verbally communicate underwater and while swimming at fast speeds.
Like I said, I've limited this to botw/totk for simplicity's sake, but I know there's all sorts of different species in the other games, so it might be cool to explore their nonverbality one day.

talking to animals as wolf link was my favorite thing to do when i was like 7
I love him and his big ass ears
(Original picture under the cut!)
Look, I'm just saying: would. (And so would you, don't lie.)
I think the timeline is a great concept and it seemed to sorta work, up til BOTW. We sorta figured out BOTW's placement (after Hyrule Warriors ish was what I went with) but then TOTK mucked everything up so now we're figuring it out again. And, of course, the stories are at least compelling to me. A person who's written multiple fics (most unpublished) and made a whole links meet au like a weirdo
