I’ve regained my hyperfixation on the Zelda multiverse so I’d like to present to you a scenario. Wild is showing the other Links (namely the more important ones, Legend, New Hyrule, Twilight, Sky, Time, Winds) and he decides to show them something really cool. This is gonna be long as hell and probably not great, so… bear with me if you dare.
Twilight: oh god, I hate this place.
Time: meh. I’ve seen foggier/dustier areas.
Wild: it’s kind of annoying to traverse, but trust me, you’re gonna be blown away by this.
Wind: I hope so. My feet hurt like hell.
Time: hey! Language, kid.
Wild: ah, here we are! May I present to you: the leviathan of the gerudo desert!
Twilight: that thing is massive!
New Hyrule: I don’t think I’ve ever seen something so big!
Sky: I’ve seen bigger. I’ve ridden bigger.
Time: Me too… but it’s still kind of weird to see it… dead, you know? Broken down after millennia.
Legend, running up from behind: Sorry! This area is really confusing… Anyway, what was it you wanted to-
Legend: what the fuck, man?
Time: Guys, there is a 12 year old here!
Time: take it from another 12 year old hero: it’s not.
Wind: I’ve lived on pirate ships several times.
Legend: I just- shit, man.
New Hyrule: Legend, what’s going on?
Legend: that’s the, uh… the thing. Oh Hylia. I think I’m gonna throw up.
Wild: wait, what? You recognize it?
Legend: yeah, uh. Remember how I told you about that island? The dream one?
Legend: really? Huh. It was this massive island that I woke up on without any stuff. I went through… a lot there. Turned out it was all the dream of some massively powerful being. The wind fish. That.
Wild: why does that sound… familiar?
Sky: Wait, wait, hold up. Wild. Are there… more of these?
Wild: uh… yeah, two of them. Should we go see those?
New Hyrule: Yes!! If this is a wind fish, what if those are things we would recognize as well?
Link: Alright. Things are gonna get hot, so if you have heat resistance, equip it. If not… just try not to equip wooden weapons. Grab on, everyone!
Wind: I don’t see why we have to warp. Can’t we just-
Everyone else, in unison: we can’t sail there, wind.
Wild: And we’re here! Now it’s just a short walk.
Time: Wow. Crazy how some things change so much… and some things stay exactly the same. Death mountain looks so… familiar, after thousands of years.
Twilight: it’s almost… reassuring.
Sky, squinting: wait, is that…?
Legend: that’s definitely not a wind fish.
Sky: oh come on, Levius? Really? Aw, man. I loved that fishy boy.
Twilight: I have heard you refer to Jabun as a fishy boy on several occasions.
Sky: and after I went through all that trouble getting the tree of life and planting it in the sealed temple…
Wild: ok, that sounds REALLY familiar too, what is with this?!
Wind: what if we like. Went on a tour of all the stuff we think each other might recognize.
New Hyrule: I like your attitude, wind!
Legend: *crying on the ground, curled up into a fetal position*
Twilight, kneeling next to legend: *glares at Wild*
New Hyrule, poking a hinox: big lizard
Twilight: oh shit. Do you think it would still work if we had all the pieces?
Wild: I mean, I know where the pieces are… we could try.
Twilight: well, it doesn’t work, but it looks cool.
Wild: kinda reminds me of this helmet I found… *equips the twilight helm*
Twilight Portal: *starts glowing*
Twilight: where in hylia did you find that?!
New Hyrule: oh! There’s some bokoblins over there.
Legend: Yes! I could use a good fight.
Wild: nah, I’m too tired. Lemme just… *equips Majora’s Mask* there we go!
Time: what on HyLiA’s GrEeN eArTh
Wind: why are we here again?
Twilight: I’m hungry. This place has good meat.
Wild: Hold up… I think there’s a chest down there. Mind if I go look?
Time: Sure, I’ll come with. This place feels… nostalgiac, in a way.
Twilight: screw that, I’m getting some meat. *wolf*
Twilight: *barks for NH to get on*
Wild: alright time, grab on. *glides down to the temple.*
Idk how to put the rest of this into words but… the temple of time in BotW is the same as the one from OoT, and a large portion of the plateau (most of it being that area) is the ruins of castle town from OoT. So Time is surprised by that I guess.
Wind: Outset? Why is it on land?
Wild: maybe because it’s been tens of thousands of years?
Wind: fair. Wait… what are you wearing?
Wild: oh, it’s this really comfy shirt I found at some waterfall. Why do you ask?
Wind: those are my pajamas.
Molduga: biting at all the links
Time, shouting over the molduga battle theme: what did you say this place was called again?!
Wild: the arbiters grounds!
Time: *curled up in a fetal position, crying*
Twilight, kneeling by his side: Seriously?
Twilight: woah, who are those Gordon’s? In the mountain.
Wild: oh, well the one on the right is my old friend, Daruk. The other two… I’m not sure.
Time: what kind of reality altering shenanigans are going on here?
Time, sitting on the ground, korok’s swarming him, crying tears of joy: my friends… I missed you so much…
