Genuinely I have no idea what to do with Sun Pumpkins. They look cool sure but I already have tons of Sundlions that I can use. Not to mention the fact I have to pay for the pumpkins, when I can find the flowers for free. Hateno Village, I love you my dear sweet hometown but no, I will not be buying your fancy pumpkins.

I finally pulled the plug on this piece I that have been thinking about since I saw the sundelion in TotK for @zeldaelmo “Just After Midnight” 1000 followers prompt. We all know that Silent Princesses are Zelda’s flowers and after seeing the Sundelion, they immediately became Link’s flower in my mind.

I will say, I got majorly stuck after doing the Silent Princess because it came out just the way I wanted it to and it felt like it was all going down hill from there but I am honestly happy with how it turned out as a whole. I also had quite a bit of fun adding in some constellations to the sky and trying to make them as natural as possible.

LoZ: TotK - Sundelion Oddity

I just realized something.

I remember reading 2 different, contradictory, accounts of Sundelion flavor.

Lasli's grandma, Nanna, describes the Sunny Veggie Porridge as having a gentle aroma & flavor (at least the porridge did), but then a Yiga journal said that the Sundelions have a bitter taste.

Do ya'll think that means that when eaten raw, they're bitter, but when cooked they're mild & pleasant?

If so, then that means that the Yiga have just been shoving raw Sundelions into their mouths...

Which, to be fair, sounds about right from them...

They do seem the types who likely just ate grass as kids...

As someone mentioned, it's also possible that the flavor of the Sundelions changes depending on the morality of the person eating it.

So, if you're evil, it tastes like shit & if you're good, it's gentle & pleasant.

... Though, I'll be honest, I find the idea that these idiots are just dumb enough to not even try to cook the Sundelions very funny because it's just so in character.

Maybe we can split the difference. Bitter when raw, mild & pleasant when cooked, unless eaten by one with evil in their hearts. In those instances, the Sundelions not only remain bitter to the taste even when cooked properly, they are even more bitter than normal when raw.

I do sorta hc that Sundelions can be used in a similar way to vanilla though. I think that they'd have a mild, gentle, warming, delicate, fruity-sweet flavor when prepared correctly. And has a nicely floral, perfumey aroma.
