I really wasn’t expecting just how much I’d be enjoying mc but s it’s so good omg,,, it’s so whimsical and the world building is top notch!!! Mc Link is also such a sweetheart wahhh
Im not very far into the game since I’ve been mostly doing nothing but drawing, but when I do sit down and play it’s great
My design for this Link might change while I play but I like this one so far (I was thinking about maybe giving him blond eyelashes)
Also, im fairly certain I might be dyslexic, the amount of struggling is getting out of hand
“The Loftwings were meant to help us in the sky. The clouds… the heavens… that’s where they belong. No Loftwings on the Surface means that Hylians no longer need their protection. It means whatever Zelda and I do is good, that we truly achieved what Hylia and the Hero so dearly wanted.”
This is an excerpt from a great fanfic on Ao3 called ‘A Thing Of The Past’ by Logomancy. Please check it out, it's great! Anyway, this line made me remember on of my headcanons about the Loftwings and where they went after Skyward Sword/what happened to them.
-NOTE: This is just my personal headcanon, it’s not something I put a lot of stock or belief into, I just think it’s a neat idea to think about and potentially use in fanfics.
If anyone wants to use this HC in their fics please! GO RIGHT AHEAD! My ideas will rot away if I keep them stuck in my head, so by all means use my HCs and any ideas I post, just no AI, GOT IT? 🙃
Also, this is kind of a long post. SO BUCKLE UP! :D
The Loftwings of Skyward Sword are known as the ‘other half’ of their Hylian counterparts. They forge a bond with their Hylian at a fairly young age and grow together. A Skyloftian can even sense where their Loftwing is when the two are separated. As the sacred beasts of the Goddess Hylia; Loftwings are most at home in the skies far above what would later become the land of Hyrule and do not descend below the cloud barrier.
But what if they did..?
In Skyward Sword it almost seems like Link’s Loftwing is nervous and scared to descend to the land bellow, is the surface a dangerous place for the Loftwings, not just the monsters from the surface but the Surface itself. Perhaps after many many years, potentially hundreds or even thousands, after the kingdom’s founding and newfound prosperity the Loftwings began to change. Adapting to life without Hylian riders and companions.
Now what would happen when monsters once again flood the Surface. The descendants of the Skyloftians are in terrible danger and while the descendants of the Loftwings may no longer be Loftwings themselves they still hold an affection towards Hylia’s chosen people. This evolution of the Loftwings had once been Hylia’s sacred beasts after all so they descend from the skies, from the heavens, to bestow a gift unto these new Hylians. A blade to seal away the demons.
A blade that the Hylians’ would name after their new friends, The Picori Blade.
YEP! It’s kinda a crack headcanon, but it makes me happy! :D
The Minish’s little feather tails sort of reminded me of Link’s Loftwing’s tail, just a lot less fluffy and full. I know the Minish/Picori and the Loftwings don’t really look all that similar (Gee, the GIANT birds and tiny mice-people don’t look similar. Who would’ve guessed?? XD), but that’s why I say the Picori would be an evolution of the Loftwings over hundreds or thousands of years.
Plus, I like the idea of the whole ‘Other half’ aspect of the Loftwing’s connection to the Hylians being held up in the existence of the Kinstones! Maybe. I thought that’d be a neat bit of symbolism anyway. (Also, @rosescore245 I don't know if this is something you'd be interested in, but it's here now! I just had to get my thoughts put somewhere. :D)
A little wallpaper that I wanted to do, inspired by this comic by RasTear(https://www.deviantart.com/rastear/art/minish-cap-kinstone-comic-482865101) on DeviantArt. Go read it! Its amazing and super cute :3
BTW, the reason i chose the green sharp tooth piece is because, when I was playing Minish Cap, I could never find the match to that piece! And EVERYBODY had that piece! I had a bunch of reds and blues and OTHER greens but just not that one! Okay im done with my rant :)
Oh yeah! The background is obviously what comes up (kinda) when you fuse kinstones! I couldn’t find one online so i just drew it myself
