The complete triforce of the zonai/dragon armor sets. I love all three of them but the ember set is my favorite one because of the horns and also because Dinraal is my favorite of the dragons 🔥
Back in 2017, while I played BotW, a thought crossed my mind... What if the time Link had after his resurrection was only lent? And he had to give it back after he fulfilled his destiny...
Based on my write-up here and these enhanced music tracks:
Vah Medoh
Vah Naboris
Vah Rudania
Vah Ruta
I never really understood where a lot of the fan interpretations of the SOSs came from, since they never seemed to line up with what I was hearing in the in-game audio. Hope all y'all fan writers and theorists find this useful!
Feel free to send corrections and I'll edit the post and update via comment.
Complimentary Tulin (cuz he's somehow the only way to get tags to work on this post):
TL;DR: I made the Morse code in the Divine Beast music louder. (Headphone warning for harsh beeping!)
Now comes with a chart for visualization!
So...heard there's Morse code in the Divine Beasts.
I transcribe music and there seems to be some uncertainty about what exactly is going on sonically with the DBs, so I enhanced the beepity-boops over the weekend for y'all's convenience. (Thank you @petrenocka for the inspiration!)
Some notes below the cut:
In-game, the music is not treated as a single track, but comprises multiple loops that swap out and layer with each other. To keep things simple, I've divided each piece into three segments, separated by fades:
The loop that starts when Link boards the DB.
The layered loops that build after activating the first terminal.
The loop that plays between activating the final terminal and using the control panel.
The theory that the beeping encodes the messages "SOS" and "SAD" somewhat holds up, with a few caveats:
SOS is usually a pro(cedure)sign signaled [SOS] (...---...), but is here altered to S[OS] (... ---...) to sound more musical.
SAD is not a prosign I'm familiar with. S[AD] (... .--..) is present in Naboris, but the same musical figure is played as ..-.--.- in Medoh and Rudania, and is abbreviated as ... .--. in Ruta.
Other notes:
The ..-.--.- shows up as a quickly repeating pattern in Rudania, Naboris, and Ruta after activating one terminal. It plays in both ears (delayed in one) and stutters every four repetitions. It's also a bop.
This pattern does show up for a few bars of Medoh's boarding loop, but only continues in the left ear after activating the first terminal.
Medoh is also unique in having a middle section that does not change tempo and has much subtler layering. The Morse code synth plays a melodic whine found nowhere else after activating three terminals.
Almost all beeps are on beat, except for in Rudania. The boarding loop stretches nine pairs of signs across 60 beats, resulting in a broad 9-tuplet polyrhythm.
If anyone has corrections, let me know and I'll update.
Hello. First of all, thank you all for all the likes, comments and support! I have been working a lot faster than I am used too to updeat more frequently and consistantly. To answer the cquestions of some user, no, I am not taking comissions right now, but I do want to. Hopefully I can open commissions in earnest soon, it just has been a little complicated for me to do so right now.
Having said that, I am really thankfull for all the reblogs and likes.
This time around is Queen Sonia, wnated to give her a sort of ritualistic atmosphear, since she is a priestess. I am not entirely satisfied in that regard, but I think I got the colors right. Hope you like her :)
Just who is this strange Construct, and where did they come from...?
All we know about this new ally is that they are capable of altering their body to fight and to fly through the sky. They seem to have some sort of bond with a Korok named Calamo...

the images from this timelapse take up FORTY SIX GIGABYTES, i just noticed it while writing this post, no wonder krita was dying at the end
i've had this sketch for.. who knows how long haha, also i decided to change his pose when i ALMOST finished coloring, because i wanted to suffer a little more i guess
oh, and here's the screenshot that inspired it all
Ancient Zonai Script
These characters are believed to have been used by the Zonai people. They have a different shape than the letters carved into the stone walls of Zonai ruins. You can often find them swirling in the illumination that hovers in the upper portions of the Shrines of Light.
Designer’s Note
There is an expression called kotodama [the “spirit of words,” or the illocutionary concept that the act of speaking certain words can affect reality], and the Zonai characters are intended to embody this image of “power.” Conceptually, the idea is that “Zonai energy is controlled by using these Zonai characters.” Inspired by surviving hieroglyphs from ancient times, this design is intended to evoke a sense of divinity, majesty, and awe.
By the way, did you notice that there are two types of Zonai script? One is the commonly used alphabet that you can find in locations like the sky islands. The other is an older and more powerful script whose use was only permitted to a limited number of people, such as royalty, priests, and shamanesses. This latter type is inscribed into the sealing helix used by King Rauru during the final battle against the Demon King in the Imprisoning War.
