TotK×BN timeline!

Hi! so, because ive been doing this onn and off thing with a crossover project of mine, i decided id re-work this alt for the project and hopefully boost my motivation for it! im all ears for constructive criticism, questions, and suggestions!

The gyst of it so far!

It all started with 'what if Lan and Hub from Megaman Battle Network(BN) were thrust into Breath of the Wild(BotW) because my brain just works like that sometimes. I couldnt get it to work unfortunately so i moved in to the next best thing and, while playing Tears of the Kingdom(TotK) found myself imagining them replacing Link and Zelda. So that what i went with!

From there it was art, character exploration, and scenario snippits, so i thought it'd be cool to post what i got on tumblr so far and save my friends from the yappage ;w;

Feel free to leave coments and suggestions! All feed back is apreciated!

though sheikah tech is dammaged, shrines and divine beasts especialy, there is still some of it thats safe enough for Lan to use while Hub's uses zonai tech:

I've been thinking abt what to do with the Sheikah tech since I dont want it to be gone forever, its a giant plothole in TotK and I missed it dearly. Thats when I noticed the answer to have it still be arround but for it not to be BotW all over again and explaining why its not used anymore was stareing at me this whole time; gloom damage. The sheikah shrines could simply be badly dammaged due to the upheaval (i.e. the divine beasts, sheikah towers, shrines, ect) just like everything else, so purah recomends not to use them least its for emergencies, they are also tearing them down to make transport and comunications more effective by re-using the pieces that are still functional, creating waypoints to important locations (Goron City, Zora's Domain, Rito Village, Hateno, Kakariko, Lurelin, Tarrey Town, and Lookout Landing) for Zelda and Link (and for Lan and Hub to use through the Purah pet)

The towers would still be active enough for info relay, if structuraly dammaged from the upheaval. The shrines have long-since powered down and most that are still active have been scavanged by Purah and crew for parts, we could say theres one or two shrines open and available for Lan to check out if feeling a lil extra, though the monks would not be too happy about the disruption of the order

The shrine locations would still contain light root locations as a cheeky nodd to totk, since the pilgrimige of light's shrines could have been teared down/renovated by the sheikah to become sheikah shrines

PS: Still figuring out his design ;w;

Been a while huh?

Lan and Hub are droped in Hyrule

The original idea for this au was to create a form of character exploration of Lan and Megaman in a situation where their roles are somewhat inverted: Lan being forced into a quizzy quest with several hundred round-about objectives and forced into combat scenarios with little expirience while Hub is sidelined for a majority of his time in the past to adjust not only to the transition of being fully human for the first time ever (which wont last long, thanks Hyrule Warriors) but also the masive emotional load thats gonna be Rauru and Sonia's deaths as well as the metric ton of emotions that the sacrifce will entail

Yes, these would be the same Lan and Hub from regular battle network, they were simply plucked from their original game and droped into Hyrule. Dw tho! Zelda and Link took their respective places. Surely things will turn out perfectly fine ;w;

I've been thinking alot on how im gonna conect the past to the present in the TotK×Bn AU cause, although i can make work arrounds for the memories in their original geoglyph format if i end up making a serialized story, i do feel it would be better if i used an alternative

So, borrowing from a few other fanfics ive read, Hub/Saito/Megaman has a scrap/sketchbook in this AU.

It'd be something like a compendium diary, serving as Hub's way to catalogue and save information/pasivley interact with his surroundings. He'd have it on him at all times, even with the Purah Pad at his disposal, and it would work as a coping mechanism for the time the twins spend in Hyrule

Id like to think Lan either:

A. Decipher/read through the compendium as he progresses through the story

B. Use a Cypher Hub left him in the compendium to read lore tablets hidden across Hyrule for hidden messages

Another idea tossed into the blender that borrows more from the geoglyphs is to give Lan a scale or horn shard from the light dragon which gives him vision dreams of the past acording to the settlements/locations he rest in

So... clearly still working on that ;w;

I'd love to hear any suggestions y'all may have though!

(Ps. Silly sketch!)

Draconification:

Yep, Hub gets to be a dragon for over 10,000 years! Fun!

Its one if the aspects of the crossover im most hyped aboyt actualy, getting to design a light dragon bassed off of Hub/Megaman.EXE, and though i still havrnt found a color pallet im trully happy with, i do have a general idea as to what he'll look like!

Feel free to leave suggeations in the coments!

Sage Desings! (Temporary)

Somethimg that ticked me off abt TotK was the fact that the ancent sages were faceless, i would have loved to see the paralels between the old and new sages if that would have been posible at the time (Again, thank you Hyrule Warriors).

I decided to take a crack at designing sages for myself, not supper proud of them but posting them anyway cause they exist

They are definitley subject to change depending on what Age of Imprisonment does for them and we'll see where this goes!

[brainrotextravaganza]

Lan and Hub designs! (Temporary)

This is one of the things i stared with when making the AU to better flesh out the images rolling arround in my head. I still gotta work on making the rest (I.e. Zora, Snowquill, Flamebreaker, and Hylian sets, as well as the Champion's Leathers for Lan cause thats gonna be an aqward convo w Purah ;w;).

Hub's ancient design is also being revamped to look a little more armoured, specialy for the imprisoning war (Thank you Hyrule Warriors) whuch has left me studying the Zonaite, Frostbite, and Ember sets, the Ember set especialy.

So that where im at in that aspect!
