Once I get to finishing up the Paragraphs, the first part will be uploaded!! So be sure to keep an eye out!!
Very excited to share what will be in this intro!!
Were Link and Skull Kid the First Champion and Divine Beast?
Ok, so obviously I knew about the Divine Beast connection when Midna called Link a Divine Beast. I came up with this conclusion when I compared Skull Kid's role in Twilight Princess to the BOTW Champions, now I can't stop thinking about it.
Twilight Princess HD was made to promote Breath of the Wild after all.
So let's talk about it.
When I was casually thinking about Zelda again, I mind wanted to go back to the Howling Stones again, and knowing me, I decided to come up with Twilight Princess scenarios again. As I was alone with my thoughts, I started thinking more about Skull Kid and the Howling Stone used to summon him, then all of a sudden, my mind immediately went back to the Champions in BOTW.
That's when it hit me.
While the Royal Family have always been close to the other races in Hyrule, before BOTW, they have never once been desperate to actually assign someone with a task that requires beyond skill.
While Skull Kid is technically not a "proper Champion", you cannot deny how his role in TP functions very similarly to the Champions in BOTW. but it's not just Skull Kid, I believe that the Howling Stones also share a type of representation/connection to the Divine Beasts and the Champions.
----------------------------------------
But I'm getting ahead of myself, let's break this down into three parts, starting with the Howling Stones:
While it is still a mystery as to where these stones came from, it is obviously clear that they have some sort of connection to both the Sheikah and the Royal Family due to their crests being on said stones.
It wouldn't be as much of a stretch to say that they could have evolved from the Sheikah stones in Ocarina of Time, as in BOTW, we see so much more Sheikah technology than ever, even seeing how much it has evolved overtime.
The Sheikah have always been dedicated towards bringing peace to Hyrule, so who's to say that the Howling Stones were indeed one of their forgotten relics, which brings us back to BOTW.
As we all know, the Divine Beasts were created by the Sheikah to aid the Hero and the Princess in the fight against Calamity Ganon, but due to there sheer amount of power, the King of Hyrule feared them, and abolished the Sheikah's research, leaving the Divine Beasts buried underground, forgotten for hundreds of years.
This is where the representation comes in as I believe that it can't be a coincidence how the abandonment of Sheikah research mirrors how the Sheikah are practically gone during Twilight Princess (with a few exceptions of course), with both scenarios leaving their ancient relics behind, and no one fully understanding how they work, except they did.
Learning how the Sheikah Slate was created to activate and control the Divine Beasts, is similar to how the Howling Stones work, Link cannot hear their melodies when he's human, only as a wolf.
When these melodies are played, they take Link to a nether version of Hyrule, where he would meet with the Golden Wolf, much like how in BOTW, when Link uses the Sheikah Slate to take back control of the Divine Beasts, he is greeted face to face with the spirits of the Champions.
With all that put together, it's safe to say that, in a lot of ways, the Howling Stones represent the Sheikah Slate.
----------------------------------------
Which leads us to the second part:
The Divine Beasts
While Divine Beasts didn't exist at the time, there's no denying that there is some sort of connection regarding these Mechanical Guardians and Link's wolf form, one of these connections being the fact that all of them are real life animals.
Midna even calls Link a 'Divine Beast' as that is all her people have ever known the Hero would appear as. However given the implications that this Tale has been around for so long, it's likely that the Twili were not referring to the Hero of Twilight.
Which makes sense too as the Hero of Twilight was indeed not the first 'Divine Beast', it was none other than his Ancestor: The Hero of Time, and as the pieces come together, the more you realize how much the Hero of Time fits the role as Divine Beast far better than the Hero of Twilight.
As a Spirit taking the form of a Golden Wolf, Link can travel to many far out regions across Hyrule via the Howling Stones, teaching his Descendant the Hidden Skills he's learned during his era.
These Hidden Skills were more than just new Sword techniques, these were the abilities Link needed to fight back against Ganondorf, sound familiar?
In BOTW when the Divine Beasts are set free, the Champions give Link their unique abilities to help him across his Journey, and thanks to them, he is able to withstand Calamity Ganon.
Link traveling across Hyrule to rescue the Divine Beasts, and receiving the Champion abilities mirrors how Link in Twilight Princess travels across Hyrule to find the Golden Wolf and receive a new hidden skill, as both scenarios are the main reason Link is able to combat against Ganon.
The Sheikah created the Divine Beasts to aid the Hero and Princess, the same way the Golden Wolf appeared to aid Link.
And on the topic of the Sheikah, we know that the melodies we hear when near a Howling Stone aren't coincidences either, they were melodies play by the Hero of Time during Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (except for Ballad of Gales which is in Wind Waker).
If the Howling Stones are one of the Sheikah's relics, than it's possible that at some point, Impa knew of Link's Wolf form, explaining why the Ancient Sheikah would model the Divine Beasts as actual animals, and why they would name them after the Sages that helped the Hero and Princess seal Ganondorf.
From the very beginning, the Divine Beasts were always close to the Sheikah Tribe.
----------------------------------------
But wait!! What about this Howling Stone?
I mentioned this one before at the start.
It's completely different compared to the other Howling Stones, yet it plays a melody that Link has played before: Zelda's Lullaby. Except it doesn't summon the Golden Wolf, it summons Skull Kid, who serves as both a test and your guide to the Master Sword.
So if it's not like the others, what does this Howling Stone represent?
Zelda
The Commander of the Champions
I said it before that Skull Kid is not a "proper Champion" so to say, that being said, one thing that ties the Champions and Skull Kid together is their connections to the Royal Family, with Skull Kid knowing Zelda's Lullaby, and the Champions receiving the blue garments.
It's quite possible that Zelda was responsible for both scenarios, she approached each Champion to have them pilot the Divine Beasts, and crafted the garbs in BOTW. So who's to say that Zelda in OoT did the same thing to Skull Kid to have him protect the Master Sword, leading him to learning her Lullaby, as canonically in both games, Link has never once played Zelda's Lullaby in front of Skull Kid, as he knew the importance of that melody.
The Divine Beasts are titanic war machines that once brought fear to the Royal Family, so having to choose who to pilot them takes trust, and abilities beyond skill, something that the Champions have all been able to do.
Yet when it comes to the Master Sword, a relic that has been within the Royal Family even before Hyrule's founding, the last thing you'd except Princess Zelda to do was trust a Skull Kid into protecting it.
These relics are of the most importance to the Royal Family, and both tasks for these relics are quite similar, as they required the other races within Hyrule to fulfill them, but given how the Forest Species are canonically the weakest out of all the other races, not to mention the mischievous nature of Skull Kids, it's quite odd to think that Zelda would trust the Skull Kid we all know and love with both her Lullaby and protecting the Blade of Evil's Bane.
But here's the thing: you don't become a Guardian to the Master Sword overnight, with one good look when you enter the Sacred Grove in TP, you can see how much of an effort and seriousness Skull Kid had put when fulfilling his Guardian Role.
While he doesn't control a Divine Beast, his powers are the similar reason why the Champions were chosen to pilot them. Skull Kid is an eternal forest child that can teleport, he can summon a horde of wooden Puppets that act as offence, can endure attacks without breaking a sweat, and he can manipulate the Forest.
Abilities beyond skill.
While Skull Kid himself never attacks Link in game, it's clear that he's incredibly strong, as seen in the environment, there are Monster skulls all over the arena's, as well as the implication that Skull Kid stole thirty Bombs from those who tried to attack the Grove and hid them away to ensure no one would find them.
However we know that Skull Kid has never been able to use these kind of powers during OoT and MM, but given the implications in TP, he could have found out about them shortly before (or after) Ganondorf's botched execution, which would have caught Zelda's eye upon seeing that kind of potential.
It's even possible that Impa was the one to train him, given how his powers are surprisingly similar to BOTW Impa's abilities in Age of Calamity (plus his teleportation ability leaving behind leaves after he teleports is similar to how the Yiga Clan teleports), further connecting Skull Kid to the future Champions.
----------------------------------------
And finally, on top of it all, in the concept art for BOTW, there was originally going to be a Kokiri Champion, but was scrapped and replaced with Revali.
However in full game, the Master Sword's pedestal surrounded by different shaped rocks, in the "Creating a Champion" book, these rocks represent the various Species in Hyrule, and one of these rocks represent the Kokiri, as stated in the book.
Saria was the Sage of Forest, yes. But given how long it has been since the Kokiri's last appearance, I don't think anyone remembers what they even looked like, the Koroks in BOTW don't even acknowledge how they evolved from the Kokiri either.
But given how they still know about them, yet the only humanoid child of the forest that was still present at the time was Skull kid, it's quite possible that History mistook Skull Kid for a Kokiri.
Which leads us to our bittersweet end, as we know what happens next as shown in BOTW and TOTK...
...For the Divine Beast disappeared...
...And the Champion was slain....
The only thing left behind was their sacrifices...
OK!! Here we go!! It's been a while since I made Mario + Rabbids art, this has been a sketch in my archives for a long time.
But now since I barely have anything else to work on aside from doodles, writing, and world building for Curse in Magic, I can finally come back to some SOH art that I haven't finished yet.
and as you can see, I've made quite the improvements :D
Tadaa! The old Projekt is finished and itis a old open collab from @lexierulz (mabye you know her as fearlessdevil17) and @slinksowses. Daphne wasnt draw by me,it was drawn by @minnesotamedic186.I also had a little problem to color it so i just did the line art again as good as i could and colored it and kind of experiment with light and shadow. Originally i made a screencaputer but it got lost so i dont have it sorry . :( But now i will be more active again. I hope you like it. Byeee
P.S. If you want to now what i heard while drawing , i just listend to my favorite songs over and over again
When being inspired by both Dispatch and Twilight Princess gives you completely different concepts for your Original Series!
The first one being Jenna and her newly revealed bandmates!! I've been having fun writing about their personalities and their relationships with one another. An example being Rae, who is an interesting case since their both deaf and mute, so figuring out how their interactions are gonna go is a bit of a challenge.
The second one is the reveal of a new Creature. I put a lot of thinking into this because I wanted a creature that felt like it was both in and out of place in Opalia's world. the lore I made so far is that they appeared six years ago, and were responsible for slaughtering many innocents. They're tough opponents, and can only be killed through decapitation. I have a name in mind, but I still want to sort out my options before deciding.
I remember when I saw the Happy Mask Salesman for the first time in A Hero's Purpose, it gave me mixed feelings
Because on one hand, I was very happy to see him, and it was awesome that he made an appearance...
But on the other hand...
This was the same guy that violently shook Link when he was a child for not getting an extremely dangerous mask back to him
Granted, that was seven years ago and Link probably forgave him by then, but to this day, I still have mixed feelings on this scene due to how calm it feels. I know, weird thing to say right XD
"At last!, we've got all four Elements! Let's go revive the Scared Blade!" Link couldn't agree more with Ezlo's statement. Having defeated the Gyorg pair and obtaining the Wind Element, it was finally time to take down Vaati once and for all. His thoughts were brought back to his hometown, to the King, and finally, Princess Zelda, who was still trapped in her stone prison. Link's hand balled tightly into a fist, Vaati had threatened everything and everyone he's ever cared for, at the time he was too weak to even do anything against the Mage. But now, this is it, once the Picori Blade is brought back its true self, Link would finally be able to stop him, and save Zelda and everyone else, including Ezlo. His thought were suddenly interrupted by the violent shaking felt beneath him, his hands meeting the floor when trying to ground himself. "What's going on?! Some sort of earthquake?" Ezlo Screamed, though Link doubted that an earthquake can reach this high up in the sky, no, something else was going on. As the rumbling began to die down, the young Hero picked himself and looked upon the thick clouds that covered the Palace of Winds, noticing a ripple within them that was growing bigger by the second. A mighty roar then heard before the source finally revealed itself: It was a Dragon. Link and Ezlo's eye's widened in awe, neither of them had ever seen or heard of a Dragon who lives within the clouds, was this Dragon here the whole time as they were exploring the Palace? and did the Wind Tribe also know about it? As the Dragon danced across the clouds, it started to make its way over to the duo's direction, allowing Link to get a clear shot of its face. Obviously it was colossal in size, far bigger than the female Gyorg he just faced, yet Link didn't feel threatened, compared to the monsters to Hyrule, this Dragon seemingly had no intentions of attacking the boy, to which he took it as some sort of sigh. It had a golden mane that compliments it's white scales and icy blue horns, and as the Serpentine grew closer, Link could've sworn that he saw something inside the Golden Light that was pouring out of it's head. As he gazed into the Dragon's eye's, he couldn't help but feel as tho they were trying to tell him something, he wasn't sure what it was, but he noted how it's eyes looked glossy, almost as if it had been crying. With it's face slowly coming out of view, replace by it's golden mane, Link felt mesmerized by it's beauty, he took a step forward, carefully reaching out towards the Dragon. He was just about to reach even further to see if he could touch it, before yelping in pain after Ezlo pulled on his hair hard, making him stumble backwards and landing on his rear end. "Are you insane Link?! one more step and we could've fallen to our deaths!!" Ezlo scolded the child, who was currently rubbing the sore spot. Ezlo let out a heavy sigh "I'm fascinated by this discovery too, but I believe it's for the best we do not stay here any longer." they both watched the creature wind itself higher into the sky "Whatever Dragon it is, let's just be lucky it doesn't see us as a meal. Besides, we gotta job to do." Once again, Link agreed with Ezlo's words, meeting a Dragon that was seemingly harmless was amazing and all, but it wasn't going to help the young hero with Vaati. before leaving the Palace of Winds, he took one more glance at the Serpentine, and smiled, it's presence was quite comforting to the boy, and as he descended downward, he wondered what his Grandfather would say about it once Hyrule is saved.
------------------------------------------
Because Minish Cap takes place after Skyward Sword, I like to believe that (aside from botw Link of course) the Hero of the Minish was the only one that got physically close to the Light Dragon. But the poor girl started to cry upon realizing that it wasn't her Link (she'll be like that for a while)
I also had to make a few changes to the game as after you defeat the Gyrog pair, it's just teleports you back to the home of the Wind Tribe. but here, Link meets the Light Dragon at the beginning part of the Palace of Winds, so just pretend he was teleported there instead.
Note: this sketch/fanfic was about a year old btw, and so will the next few (except the writing). these were only posted on Deviantart, but i did also wanted to post here too, so that's what i did.
Recently finished playing Dispatch. That was such a good game!! I loved its sense of humor, and that it was a choice making game. It's nice to know that people who were once part of Telltale games came to make another masterpiece!!
Here's a doodle of Robert because he's my favorite 😄
When "Tears of the Kingdom" came out, I went on a whole personal Theory rant about how the Zonai connects to older Zelda games. This got me thinking about my theory of the Twili being descendants of the Zonai, and another theory I thought about being what if Majora was also a Zonai, to which I took the liberty of drawing how they would look like (and also gave them a bit of a backstory on how they are connected to the Fierce Deity) if they were a Zonai.
Personally this makes sense to me given what we've seen in these games, and how they're powers were so catastrophic, it was considered dangerous, not that i blame Hyrule.
when I was looking at inspiration for my Majora design, I saw a lot of people depict them as a woman. Mainly because of Majora's allegory within the game, so I decided to hop on that train too, plus we need more female Zelda villains!
Hope y'all also enjoy my bonus rant on my Zonai Theory :D
