#double agent sheik AU

[kagoutiss]

so ive been thinking about an AU loosely based on the whole ‘sheik was a double agent also working for ganondorf’ thing in the oot manga and. basically here is a bunch of stuff so tonally different that it gives u whiplash

#tloz oot #ocarina of time #sheik #zelda #ganondorf #impa #link #undercover sheik au #double agent sheik au #impa isnt like ‘the good guy’ here she also kinda becomes a very complicated figure in sheik’s life #its not really full-on ganondad either. i do not know honestly lol #ok partly ganondad. not completely because he assassinated sheik’s actual dad #who was an evil asshole but sheik still does not know how to feel abt it lol #‘Sheik Has A Very Conflicting Seven Years Before Link Finally Wakes Up AU’ does that work #anyway. #shaking nintedno by the shoulders for the love of god can we talk about the TORTURE CHAMBERS UNDERGROUND PLEASE

hello!!! in my opinion you are like, The Sheik Guy (love your au btw) so i had a question regarding OoT Sheik. Do you think this guy was trained to be a Sheikah assassin, or just a straight-up ninja? Like tbf he never kills anyone but like. idk what do you think?

in the actual game he doesn't really do any actual fighting (and he literally gets tossed around like a ragdoll so KFHSJKFKS) BUT in the oot manga (spoilers btw) he's like. a double agent and it's so cool.

so I like to imagine that in game he's like a ninja assassin who can kill you in less than a second but he's too busy serenading the hero with his pretty music and being poetic to bother

#oot manga my beloved #asks #this guy can absolutely discreetly snap necks when needed idk

Still drawing impa kinda doing it in a family photo kinda way lol-

Sheik mostly stays by the book on appearance minus the bag and thw arrow bag thing-

powerZelda actually wears trousers under her skirt, the skirt can also be removed with a swift tug so she can move with ease if needed

The second pic is of zelda losing her cool (i kinda see her being a magnificent bastard kind of character)

And yeah, shes evil. Impa is reserved about the yiga clan stuff but shed never turn her back on Zelda

My jaw dropped. CROW!!! This is incredible!!!

I'm so here for this au. Impa! Why?!?!?

You have the highest influence!! DX Zelda....Why??? Granted, it's kind of a given with the triforce of power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that jazz.

I was going to ask if Impa would have been some kind of double agent but then you said she'd never leave Zelda- so that's a no. Sounds more like a unwilling accomplice.

Man, this is all sorts of hurt. I love it. Thank you for sharing Crow. <3

undercover sheik au again, in which i think its also very funny if sheik realizes impa and ganondorf have confoundingly similar personalities

#tloz oot #ocarina of time #sheik #zelda #impa #ganondorf #undercover sheik au #double agent sheik au #i feel like i’ll just go with the first au name from now on bc it feels easier to say #anyway. you ask for plot and i give you silly dynamics instead #sheik drawing diagrams and balancing equations trying to understand the people around him #i think sheik would have a tendency to overanalyze things in general #always feeling the need to extrapolate the best possible solution & wanting to understand the greater order of things #she looks very composed most of the time but is almost always ruminating on some sort of problem #and also sometimes on things that aren’t problems lol

doodles for double agent sheik AU,,, ive decided there is a strong impa vs ganondorf dichotomy, also memes

#tloz oot #ocarina of time #impa #ganondorf #zelda #sheik #undercover sheik au #double agent sheik AU #idk what else to call it right now so thats what i will tag it with #impa and ganondorf are like. the 2 opposing influences in sheik’s life #impa is a symbol of predetermined fate and inevitability; ganondorf represents self-determination and rebellion #so like #sheikah sworn to protect hylia’s bloodline (zelda) by any and all means necessary VS man who literally tried to steal divine fate itself #sheik is at odds with a lot of different interpretations of fate while trying to figure out her own #impa and ganondorf are philosophically very different but also kind of irritating in similar ways #and. may have some history from during the war that adds to the animosity they already have #i cannot keep writing essays in the tags afhshddrjhfs bye
