Ravio looks up from his book. He's curled up in the corner of Hilda's office on a stool, where he usually sits while awaiting coming to her aid in between meetings and research and work. While he was reading, it seems the small bird he's been affectionately calling Sheerow -- a term for a recently sheered sheep, given how bald the creature was when he first found them -- has tumbled out of his hood and flapped their little wings up to Hilda's desk.
He scrambles up and rushes to scoop Sheerow up off of the papers Hilda is working on, checking their feet for ink splotches and beak for scraps of paper.
"This is Sheerow! I found them the other day, stuck in a pond, didn't seem to be a water bird at all, how much they were flapping about, so I thought hey! Let's get the little buddy dry and safe! And I've been looking after them since. Sorry, they like sleeping in my hood while I'm busy in between feeding them, must've woken up and scampered out! Haha."
Hilda regards Sheerow with a curious eye Ravio seldom sees anymore. Then she's rising from her chair and searching her bookshelves for something. Ravio follows after with Sheerow cupped in his hands, the small bird chirping at the activity -- oh, it's nearly their feeding time again.
Flipping through an old book Ravio doesn't catch the name of, Hilda periodically looks up at Sheerow before turning a few more pages and seemingly checking them against it. Then, Hilda turns the book towards Ravio.
"They're a blue seeker, I think a male. You have a thought extinct species in your hand, Ravio. You best take good care of him."
Ravio stares at the page in shock, then back at Sheerow. "Oh wow. Buddy, you're special! A miracle baby! Wowie!"
Sheerow chirps in delight. Ravio watches Hilda smile out of the corner of his eye. Very special indeed. Ravio will take very good care of him, yes.
I think more people should take advantage of the fact that Ganon is a pig, and consider how freaky pigs are.
They're opportunistic eaters. They'll eat anything they can. There are reports of people being eaten after fainting or dying in pig pens. They're omnivores, and love meat. Idk I think it's a cool concept, especially considering the animalistic version of Ganon in the Oracles. Real good horror potential here
Even MORE concepts about my alttp hildavio, more complete now
Longgg storytelling and concepts + little comic below:
First of all talking about character concepts, Ravio! The basics, she's an orphan and descendant of Lorule's Ancient Magicians (paralel to Link being descendant of Hyrule's Ancient Knights) who lost her parents since very little but her aunt took her in, currently living together. While her aunt works at the castle, Ravio has her own shop because she feels she has to help with something. She's a baker who does her own delivery, you see, fruits do not grow well in Lorule (if they did, she would have an orange orchard) and I like the hc of cocoa being from Lorule.
Ravio is an anxious people pleaser, for the people she cares about (her aunt) is to not be a burden and a teeny tiny bit for validation. For most people is more of an act to not get in trouble and also to leave her alone thank you, she's internally bitter. Ravio is used to mask and lie a lot for this. She's someone who plays along to evade conflicts, not the most brave or strong-willed person, but it's what kept her alive for years, and she probably thinks lowly of herself so living that way is enough.
Then Hilda! She's the sheltered princess of the land, a sheltered kid I mean, one who is aware of all that's happening and wants to do everything she can to help. But royals in Lorule are isolated from the citizens, too used to ruling and putting order from afar in silence. That's what she's expected to do because that's all they know, besides praying for their Goddess for a sign that Lorule wasn't forsaken. She grew up with those values, with unfinished and broken myths of the possible sacred land Lorule once was. And Hilda wasn't allowed to do much else while her father, the king, was ruling, only blindly prepare to be the next one.
But Hilda is more straightforward, more passionate about her duty, she has to bring the best for her kingdom, because she does not like feeling helpless for only watching from afar. She's the one who yearns for things to be easier, yearns for a holy destiny to be written and give them a better ending, and specially to tell her the tries she's doing are the correct way. But there is no such thing nor a proof of it (for now), she has to settle with being the one to go foward, blindly searching for clues and gripping tightly whatever sign of not everything being lost.
Both of them need validation, of their roles or however.
They met a little later than usual due to the actual supposed adventure not happening, because no triforce, but Ravio started having really vivid nightmares and hearing voices (straight up screams) in her head since she was 11. She ignored it, because what the hell is she supposed to do, ignorance is your best friend in these situations. And time went on like that, but Ravio grew more paranoid when she discovered that the voices became stronger when passing by the Sanctuary. (Ravio didn't particularly believe in Lolia at that time, but the fear of god is real and she can't evade it lol)
One day she becomes too curious, she has to find a way to stop it please, and goes inside the Sanctuary. Fortunately the loud noise in her head stops when the door opens. And she would find a cloaked figure praying.
Hilda, but Ravio doesn't know it (what she cares about is that her head doesn't hurt anymore!). Hilda found the secret passage to the Sanctuary, just like her counterpart, to escape for a while, and also at the botw Zelda style, to find anwers praying.
Hilda was the one causing Ravio's suffering, psychic bond and such, the detail is that she actually thought no one was at the other side, why would it be? When not even her prayers were answered? So she literally screamed internally to vent her frustration. Unfortunately to Ravio.
See, I got the concept of Hilda telling Ravio to go away and she does that, but the next day when the voices come back, she also goes back to the Sanctuary. Basically annoying who she doesn't know it's the princess everyday to not get a constant headache.
I think Ravio would realize the person is the one talking into her mind, which would encourage her to be extra annoying as long as they don't do anything back. It would take a while for both of them realize that, 1) That's the freaking princess apparently, and also, 2) The girl that's been annoying her to no end can hear Hilda.
That's when Ravio backs down and really goes away, because in between the citizens of Lorule, the royals don't have the best reputation. She doesn't want to be possibly executed.
Hilda is pretty quick to catch Ravio again though. Because she could hear her, and that can mean many things but the one she chose to believe, like in the legends, this could be Lorule's hero. A sign. Hope.
She drags Ravio into the castle and she can't say no. Yay. Forceful hero test.
There would be a forced proximity thing, because of Ravio being held in the castle for days, having to listen to Hilda's explanations of why is she there, the little they know of Lorule's history, and also to see if she is hero material. Ravio is scared most of the time, she doesn't care, she wants to go home. But kinda spending a lot of time with the princess eases her fear, realizing she is just a little crazy and too passionate about this, surprisingly not so bad. It's admirable actually.
I got the concept of them finding that Ravio can use magic here, that or Ravio always had magic she just hid it. But anyway that's progress in Hilda's eyes.
Thing is, Ravio becoming a little comfortable, voices her doubts. How is Hilda so sure? That doesn't really prove anything? How can she be the "hero"? Have you seen her??? Ravio expected her questions to be answered, but Hilda didn't know either, which led her to stop. Frustrated, she finally sends Ravio home for now, doing more of her research alone.
Ravio leaves with a strange weight in her heart. Doesn't know if she feels guilty for popping Hilda's bubble, or because she already got used to her presence. It is weird, because she was the first person to tell her she's special, Ravio doesn't believe it though. She goes home like 'hi auntie I'm back, I didn't get executed :)' but she still thinks about it, and the lack of noise in her head feels too light.
Ravio would go back to Hilda, for absolutely no reason at all wow. Offering to help with the research for, huh, in exchange of safety or something. Company. Sure.
Here their little quest would start, where they connect the bits of Lorule's history they have, managing to come up with something that makes sense in their eyes, an interpretation of what the triforce meant to Lorule before it was broken. The depiction of a hero who embodies courage, a princess who embodies wisdom. Close, yet too far of what they are, but that's got to be the goal isn't it?
They would grow really close to each other. Them being the only person they have who keeps them company and gives them validation, giving light to the other's world, Ravio being Hilda's hope of a destiny still being there, and Hilda giving Ravio a new outlook of life that she wishes to keep because that makes Hilda happy and also for Ravio to feel like she is worth something. Codependency, we all saw this coming, everything Ravio does is for her love to Hilda.
Whatever research she does after midnight, whatever magic practice she does, whatever neglect she gives to her own shop for this, whatever pretending to be someone she isn't, is all for Hilda. Her happiness makes Ravio happy.
But this love will be her downfall, will be the thing that destroys her at the end.
So, this part is a bit blurry but, concept of them discovering the existence of the Master Sword (might not be a sword, because I'm all in for a hero who embodies wisdom, and totally their iconic weapon wouldn't be a sword, it's a placeholder for now.) And how it might be a way to prove the hero could save Lorule, if apparently that's how happened in the stories. They'll just have to collect the three pendants, classic alttp.
And this time it would be Ravio who goes alone to get them. Not like the other times where Hilda was with her and she did all the fighting when needed. Besides it is also to prove their theory, if Ravio manages to get the pendants, that means they are correct.
Ravio tells her yes, buuut she really doesn't want to, only approaching the dungeon she has to go to is scary. And seems reckless when she doesn't know about this. No, no. She decides to pay someone (multiple someones if the first one didn't come back huh) to get the first two for her. Then pretend like she did it. Much safer and clever. Hence my doodles!!!
Hilda was ecstatic for this, wayyy too happy. It felt too close to her goal, there really is hope for Lorule, her Ravio really is a hero… Ravio felt bad immediately for lying, she couldn't afford Hilda's disappointment so she played along, but it felt like she was mostly praising her idea of her(it always felt like that but Ravio didn't think of it), even if for Ravio the idea of her being a hero was feeling more unreachable now.
Then Ravio decided to give it a try for the last dungeon, it was her supposed destiny to do that… and it was hard, somehow coming out alive of it. She got she pendant and made a new discovery, the sacred realm! So why is she so afraid, why is she feeling so useless? At this point she believed Hilda that she was supposed to be the hero of courage, but now she thinks there is something wrong with her. She should've done the dungeon seamlessly, why can't she fit the role of the destiny they were sure they had?
That's when doubts come again, but she's in too deep to turn back now. Maybe Hilda notices this, maybe she knows that she's pushing Ravio too far, but chooses to ignore it, chooses ignorance, they were too close, they can talk about it later. First comes the Master Sword.
My concepts are reallyyyy really blurry here, but basically they would search the Master Sword, and find that, or it is too damaged to be usable, or it lacks any magic due to the lack of a Goddess to power it, so it's useless. But still Ravio can get it out of its pedestal, it's not the ideal though.
This is a discouragement, and also more reasons for Hilda to go a little crazier and Ravio more insecure.
I don't know how Ravio dies exactly, but I want it to be maybe on the sacred realm, maybe when they investigate it after what happened with the Master Sword to search more answers. The thing is that she dies, to prove that in fact, a hero can't save them from being forsaken by their gods.
Hilda goes mad, all her hard work that will go to the next generation was for nothing, and she just lost the one light in her life that she had. So much for a supposed princess of wisdom, there must be something wrong with her too.
She has to continue without Ravio and still rule her kingdom with the knowledge that it's doomed, continue the royal bloodline, and all that happened could be just a childish adventure she did for a glimpse of hope.
Lorule becomes worse after this, because Hilda doesn't want to keep on either.
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
