I am very interested in your totk/botw ocs and also playing dolls with them :3
I love my dolls! I can give a quicker rundown in a sec here
So basically Dallas is the Link stand in for botw and was a guard at the castle. Due to shenanigans he was imprisoned and because of the cell he was in he survived the castle calamity but also because of the malice magic he survived till 110 years later and then leaves to find his wife unaware of how much time has passed except by this time his wife has passed on and his son is old now and about to die
So he finds some old friends n shit and discovers the grave of Link, the sheikah technology failed him and he did die of his injuries sustained before the start of botw. Dallas travels Hyrule and comes across the divine beasts and despite his best efforts can't solve their problems and goes to fight calamity Ganon alone
Now because he didn't fix the beasts he had to fight all the blights and the spirits of the champions remained trapped forever
He eventually overcame it after much trial and then retired to an old house in Hyrule field with one of the sheikah researchers named Willow, and later the two had Haelan
Now Willow is a neglectful mom and when Haelan got older she left both Dallas and Haelan behind. Willow was never really a person to be a mother and it's a wonder why she even married Dallas and had a kid with him to begin with. Totk kicks off, Willow leaves to inspect the Depths and all the new shit, leaving Dallas and Haelan behind. Haelan gets upset and begins to follow in her mother's footsteps with the intention to give her a piece of her mind when she finds her, and their story follows the consequences of what happens when you neglect your children and the differences between mother and daughter
While all that is going down Dallas is now alone and finds Purah because he has nowhere else to be and because of those age shenanigans he is pretty much doomed and so Purah tells him to go settle his unfinished business and directs him towards Sidon who Dallas left in the middle of the night because he couldn't help this little prince solve his grief
So Haelan follows the way down into the castle, thinking that's where her mother would be. Instead, she finds the gaping hole into the depths, and is the Link stand in here. Because more shenanigans, she is the one teleported to the great sky island, and basically follows that story
So what we have: Willow in the Depths, Dallas on the Surface, and Haelan in the sky. Eventually they all come together to end the game with the power of familial love all three of them together wielding the sword to defeat the demon dragon and I love them for it
Post totk Haelan finds a good girl and gets married to her and they have Leaf together. When Leaf grows up Hyrule is thrown into a civil war secretly spurred on by the Yiga, and over the course of their journey, they connect with those from all over who hate the civil war: Ezio, Tulin's apprentice, Amber, Yunobo's biggest fan, Vaari, daughter of Chief Riju, and Sola, a childhood friend of the late Princess Mipha
Their story is still in the works but does eventually conclude with the Yiga being (nearly) destroyed, but it focuses on the darker sides of the totk heroes as they have to fight for their people and even fight one another
Then like hundreds of years later Hyrule kingdom has been completely destroyed after another calamity and the protagonist stand in is Zelda under the name of Petra who romances one of Dallas' descendants named Juno who I haven't really talked about idk but I love them 💙💜💙💜
Anyways yeah I have been sitting on this for actual years and you can see that I just keep "Yes, and"ing myself lmaooo
