Sometimes people say they want more Zelda games without Ganondorf but see what *I* want is a game where like half the incidental characters you meet are obviously just Ganondorf in disguise spying on you.

I feel like legend wouldn't tell ravio about his mermaid suit curse for this exact possibility.

#pffff #lol

I finally finished a semester long group project for college, so I figured I'd celebrate by returning from hiatus a few days early :)

On Appearances: HSH Hyrule

That's Doctor Hyrule to you.

Height: 5’7”

Age: 24

Build: Since he spends more time exercising his brain than anything else, Hyrule’s rather thin. I believe even Wind beats him in having more meat on his bones. Hyrule can sure run a code, but he's definitely going to be winded afterward. 

Accessories and otherwise: Since Hyrule is Calatian in origin, he looks a bit different from the other Links in the house. His skin is a warm olive tone, his hair is dark brown and curly, and he has the slightest accent: a curl in his R’s and his L’s that you’d miss if you blink. His father was Hyrulean, thus his traditional moniker of ‘Link’ with the more familiar nickname ‘Hyrule.’ It’s about as obnoxiously nationalist a naming scheme as you can get. He does sport casual men’s hoops in his ears, although they’re so small and thin they usually get lost in his hair.

Fashion sense: Hyrule spends most of his life in scrubs, so the rest of his wardrobe doesn’t get much mileage. What he does have is usually quite comfortable and in many cases a bit too big on him. Since he’s often running cold, he doesn’t leave the house without a sweater or jacket of some kind. He’s also the kind of guy who will rock a sock with a Croc or a sandal, bless him.

Parting thoughts: 

Shortly after reaching adulthood, Hyrule left home to pursue his dream of med school. His family life is largely unknown and not something he talks about, even with Legend. He has no contact with his parents. 

All of the nurses love Hyrule because he’s one of the new docs who doesn’t come in with a chip on his shoulder and is incredibly kind and respectful. Also, he looks like a solid breeze would knock him over. They try to feed him a lot. 

Hyrule is engaged in a fellowship program as of HSH: The Brave. It comes with its own royal sponsorship, which Time and the other boys know nothing about just yet. 

Hyrule might seem quiet and like he keeps to himself, but the reality is that he's had more casual relationships than the other boys in the house.

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here

#people really will try anything omg

THE LITTLE LEGENDS

This is a blog for sharing and spreading love for the smaller Zelda games in the fandom!

For everyone crying over Spirit Tracks being forgotten, to people who wish someone else remembered the struggle to find a fourth player for Four Swords or sobbing at the end of online co-op for Tri Force Heroes – this is a home to join others in that love. Mainline and third-party Zelda games are all included!

The criteria for which Zelda games count as “small” is hard to quantify. To make things easier, we went by the numbers posted to Archive of Our Own, which has the option to disambiguate which game you’re writing for and is the current best-known fanfiction site. From there, we removed some things to try and narrow it down to core game fics and picked everything that was under 1000 works.

The resulting list of Zelda games is as follows:

CDI games = 14

Zelda cartoon = 29

Cadence of Hyrule = 50

Tri Force Heroes = 51

Oracle of Seasons = 76

Oracle of Ages = 85

Zelda II: Adventure of Link = 93

Zelda (1986) = 180

Spirit Tracks = 183

Phantom Hourglass = 191

Link’s Awakening = 256

Link to the Past = 260

Minish Cap = 290

Four Swords = 359

Four Swords Adventures = 423

A Link Between Worlds = 587

Wind Waker = 739

Some of this will be a case of poor tagging, and things winding up in the wrong place. (eg. Four Swords has 1200 entries, but upon removing all Four Swords Adventures or Manga story tags it reduces to 359.) Others may not be here at all because nobody has posted it under it’s own name vs a related game or “& Related Fandoms.”

While this means these numbers are not absolute, they still represent the problem: it’s hard to find content for your favourite games if it's in the list above, and we want to fix that!

WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL?

The event we’re planning is very chill, very low-stakes way of building up interest and knowledge, and then collecting and sharing fanworks produced.

The event month will be AUGUST, 2024.

Every few days in August we’ll make a post for each game on the list (and any bonus games that were highlighted alongside the main ones), which people can reblog with a link to the fanwork they created! You can also make your own posts and tag the blog plus the game of the day but we cannot promise to see and reblog everything.

In the lead-up to August, we will be doing round-up posts for each of the above games.

Some will be doubled up and treated as “bonuses” due to their small pool of fans (CDI, the Cartoon), and if there are some we don’t know about we may take them on as suggestions!

Each of these initial game posts will include basic stats about the game: when they were released, on what hardware, where you can find them now, and what their story was. It will also include links to a walkthrough or two, for those without access to the necessary hardware.

The purpose of these posts is to be shared!

Reblog them with your favourite artwork, current fanworks you love and adore, your favourite AU they’re featured in! Share the lore you wish everyone knew, and the characters who get forgotten!

Share prompts you’ve never gotten around to using, or ones you don’t feel competent to handle!

Do not feel bad about doing this! Every exchange or event I’ve been in, people desperately wanted prompts and ideas to spark their own imagination!

The goal is for people to learn more about games that they may have never heard of before, or not had the time or ability to engage with in full on their own. And from there we can push up those numbers on AO3 for everyone to enjoy!

The scheduled games to be “main” features of this event, and their respective introductory dates, are as follows:

May 5th = Minish Cap

May 12th = Zelda II: AoL

May 19th = Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons

May 26th = Cadence of Hyrule

June 2nd = Phantom Hourglass

June 9th = Four Swords Adventures / Four Swords [Game]

June 16th = Link’s Awakening

June 23rd = Zelda (1986)

June 30th = Link to the Past

July 7th = Tri Force Heroes

July 14th = Spirit Tracks

July 21st = Link Between Worlds

July 28th = Wind Waker

Exact dates for the posting schedule of new fanworks in August will be released soon!
