So small, so fragile, so perfect….❄️🤍

A bit of chilly Ravio to set the mood this December!

~ Contrasting Reflections ~

Another weekly prompt that I did for the Linked Universe Discord. The theme was opposites/contrast, and I couldn't help but think of Legend and Ravio and how Hyrule and Lorule contrast eachother.

My interpretation of the realms of zelda but it looks really bad because I am very tired from school. Additional notes below:

Hyrule is inside of the Light World, which many other kingdoms are also inside of (such as Labrynna, Holodrum, Hytopia, etc) and the great sea is what became of the light realm in Wind Waker, so it would be inaccurate to generalize it as just “Hyrule”. In this same naming convention the default name for Lorule would probably be something like the Dark World, but the Dark World which is a corrupted version of the sacred realm (more on that later). So instead it is the Mirror World because it isn’t even a dark version of anything, it is just prone to misfortune. More on that later as well.

The worlds between are literally that. The worlds between. Any world that is not directly connected to the goddesses like the Dark Realm (not to be confused with the Dark World), the Twilight Realm, the World of the Ocean King, Termina, anything that is a consequence of the creation of Hyrule in order to contain Null.

The people of Hyrule have utter faith in the gods, even to the point of their own downfall. The very nature of Hyrule is that of a cyclical battle between the supposed good and just powers of the gods, and the wicked dark powers of the demon tribe. These two forces pull the land of Hyrule between prosperity and apocalyptic doom. One cannot exist without the other. The legends they speak of are that of heroes ordained with the essence of courage, princesses possessing the wise blood of the goddess, and wizards who are corrupted in their morality by the lull of power and ambition. The three virtues of courage, wisdom, and power, can be viewed as parallel to the three poisons each represented by a serpent, a bird, and a boar respectively. The three poisons keep mortal souls locked in a cycle of death, rebirth, and unfulfillment, just as the three virtues keep the land of Hyrule locked in a cycle that ultimately ends in dissatisfaction.

The people of Lorule distrust the gods, even to the point of their own downfall. The very nature of Lorule is one of an upward battle for the very right to being as they dangle at the maw of nonexistence. Lorule’s creation was nothing but a consequence of Hyrule’s creation, and while Hyrule bears witness to the brilliant guiding light of the gods above, Lorule is sequestered to its underbelly where it is exposed to Null and therefore nonexistence. The legends they speak of are that of benevolent tricksters who foster great wit, terribly fated princesses who find strength in their misfortune, and wizards who in their tenacity are capable of doing great and terrible things. The three virtues of wit, misfortune, and tenacity are what became of the three Hyrulean virtues without the stewardess Hylia to guard it or the three goddesses to seek counsel from. Once possessing absolute power, they were molded by mortal hands and now serve to pull the people of the land from the brink of ever-returning oblivion.

Ravio didn't mean to show such vulnerability, but the exhaustion from exploring dungeons got the best of him.

Hilda wasn't sure how to react; it was the first time he'd actually let his guard down around her (though accidental). It was the first time she'd experienced this sort of "intimacy" in general, outside of her parents when she was young. So, maybe a smaller reaction was most appropriate. Better not make it awkward!
