Hi I saw your tags on that needing to write the fanfic you want to read post and would you like to talk about toxic hylimpa because I would LOVE to hear about it 👀
HI ANON!!!! HI!!! I have a lot of scattered thoughts about this that i've been trying to formulate over the past few days and god i'm so excited to talk about toxic hylimpa
SO LIKE. the interesting thing about skyward sword is that it really does attempt to explain the origins of a lot of things (hyrule, the master sword, zelda's powers, etc). it's set at the beginning of the timeline and generally speaking it covers a lot of bases in terms of origin stories. one of the things it doesn't explain, though...is impa and the sheikah. which is really really funny because impa has been around since the literal first game in the series (irl not. timeline-wise) AND she's a key character in skyward sword but she doesn't get much of a backstory at all. it's also made doubly funny by the fact that most of the things that skyward sword attempts to explain the origins of already had established origins and it's retconning previous lore but zelda is just retcon city at this point so it hardly matters
BUT. I do think the tidbits we get are interesting, and there's a lot to be explored. who are the sheikah in skyward sword? why do they follow hylia? why was impa chosen to lead the reincarnated goddess to the sacred springs and what was her relationship with the old hylia like? my interpretation of their relationship aside, I think hylimpa at its core is a ship that would provide interesting answers to these questions, which is why I'm interested in it and why I like extrapolating on that part of skyward sword above all else.
I haven't even explained my own headcanons. anyway. they're so. weird religious devotion turned into romantic affection turned into confusion once hylia dies and is reincarnated as zelda. I love the idea that a lot of impas feel, like. special-- that they didn't have a lot of self-worth before, and now that they've been elevated to the highest position a sheikah can be in-- zelda's attendant!! zelda's personal servant that enacts her will! whatever she does she cannot lose that, because that is her everything. zelda is her everything. and hylimpa just makes this WORSE because that's an actual goddess!!!! the goddess that chose her, that loves her, that wants her... and hylia loooves taking advantage of that :) not always intentionally, but she's definitely aware of the impact she has on impa. I think ideally hylia kind of leads her on, maybe even throws in a romantic gesture in there once in a while to keep it up but never goes too far. because, well. she's not actually interested.
and then hylia does her little plan thing to save the world or whatever, and impa's supposed to be part of it, but she's. internally very conflicted over it. it guarantees her own specialness, but zelda (hylia) won't remember her. she won't be a goddess anymore, they won't really be the same person, will they? will she love impa the same way?
and then there's that green twink over there idk whatever. I like to add the first hero into the mix here because I love the idea that impa is like, stupid jealous of him. that's hylia's actual special boy and the one she actually has a romantic interest in (in my own writing hylink is also a one-sided thing. literally the most bullshit love triangle in existence. divorce love triangle. love loses.)
idk.
Hylimpa is so fun especially since I have a very different opinion on the dynamic than the other 3.5 people that ship it. Impa is not the one pining Hylia is. Hylia is a goddess with emotions strong enough to transcend human comprehension and 0 emotional regulation. She's in love with humanity and mortality and especially this one deeply loyal human who just keeps living despite the odds. She wants to study Impa like a bug, hold her like a lover, protect her as a deity, and more than anything desperately wants to mirror her heartbeat. Impa is what Hylia wants to be and who she wants to be with and she's deeply abnormal about it.
Meanwhile Impa has firmly goddes-zoned Hylia. Like you're not going to think of the deity that has a little alter in your house as a romantic prospect. As far as Impa is concerned they have the divine equivalent of a boss/employee relationship. Hylia is out here desperately trying not to incinerate this mortal with the force of her love and Impa wants to know if she's been scheduled for work.
happy pride month everyone. i wrote hylimpa like i kept saying i would

A fleeting moment passes as the regret of a goddess and the determination that brought forth the strength to see her plans through collide with a princess overlooking the fires of destruction.

The trailer for the sequel to Breath of the Wild finally gave me the energy and motivation to finish this fanfic about Zelda, Hylia, and the time that exists between the two.
