Tears of the Kingdom is the first time the Zelda series has produced a direct, it’s-the-same-Link-we-swear-you-guys sequel since 2007’s Phantom Hourglass, so this is probably many contemporary fans’ first turn on this particular merry-go-round.

Allow me to assure you: there is no great mystery, and there is no master plan. Every worldbuilding inconsistency and every bit of timeline weirdness between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is purely a product of the fact that the Zelda franchise’s writers have the creative impulse control of a pack of squirrels, and don’t give a single solitary fuck about continuity.

When you accept that this is true, and you see how cavalierly they’re willing to treat continuity even between two games which are ostensibly direct sequels starring the same cast of characters and set just a few years apart, you may begin to understand why the timeline of the series as a whole looks the way that it does.

i get your point. I promise you I do. But where the HELL did all the shieka tech go. The guardians i can see being all scrapped (impressive they all got got), the towers could sink back into the ground…but please god just give me ONE BOOK telling me the divine beasts left hyrule as a final will of the champions! or something! HOW DO YOU LOSE FOUR GIANT ROBOT ANIMALS?!

I mean, we can fanwank whatever justification we want, but the real answer is that it didn’t “go” anywhere. It retroactively never existed.

In Breath of the Wild’s continuity, the Ancients are all-but-explicitly stated to be the ancestors of the modern Sheikah people, so it makes sense that all the Ancient tech that’s lying around is Sheikah-made.

In Tears of the Kingdom’s continuity, the writers decided they had a better idea, and now the Ancients are – and, critically, always have been – an Ancient Aliens/UFOology-inspired culture called the Zonai.

Obviously, the surviving Ancient tech can’t possibly be Sheikah-made if the Ancients were the Zonai. Any suggestion to the contrary is clearly the product of your over-active imagination.

im having feelings about the uffington white horse again

so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.

image

people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.

we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.

the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?

Sophie: These are not small fines. Last year, my department handled a case where the company had to pay out $2.5 billion.

Hoffman: Oh, yeah. Everybody heard about that. But what the news didn’t tell you is that that company made $16 billion on the same drug. That fine was 14% of the profit. 14%. That’s like tipping your waiter.

doodled a new character concept during dnd

she’s a barmaid with a sweet look who is uniquely skilled at getting good tips

she’s probably a rogue, but i could also see her as a bard… or, to totally go against appearances, it would be very fun to play her as a barbarian

(btw if you want to use my dnd designs you can do so by supporting my patreon)

image

ur absolutely right!!!! she must be a BAR(maid)barian ✨✨

A BARMAIDBARBARIAN GOD YES PLEASE THAT’S PERFECT!!!!!!

could also be some weird multiclass of barb and bard. Mainly because i love the image of someone being able to be cute and inspiring and lose her shit when somebody is rude-

anyone in service work should know very well how to rage.

what if she went ape shit just as a little treat
