So I was browsing the Skyward Sword/Zelda aisle of Tumblr and I noticed a lot of people suggesting that Demise was completely responsible for all the problems of the series. That his curse caused all the suffering Link and Zelda have to go through and fix throughout the series. And other people were arguing that Hylia was responsible for all of their suffering because she chose Link to be the Hero of Legend.
So I thought I’d give my thoughts.
It’s almost entirely Demise’s fault. He is the reason that Hylia had to choose a champion in the first place. He is completely malicious, he destroyed the original realm of Hylia (Hyrule) and he forced humanity to flee to the skies to guard the Triforce.
But he isn’t responsible for all the suffering Link and Zelda go through. His curse doesn’t actually cause Link and Zelda to reincarnate. He just cursed them to always be followed by a version of him that will try to kill them.
The thing is that whole forced to forever fight evil thing. Hylia kinda already did that.
I said that Demise isn’t the cause of their reincarnation. We known this because in the Hyrule Historia Manga Hylia admits that she did it.
Hylia arranged it that she (as Zelda) and Link will reincarnate every time Hyrule is any sort of danger. So they basically already were going to have to fight evil forever. Demise’s curse just gave them a permanent opponent to face.
(Slightly related thoughts: I think Hylia was right to do this by the way. Hyrule and the Triforce need defenders and Link and Zelda can do it.
Also I see Hylia shedding her divinity to become Zelda and joining Link in the cycle of reincarnation as her way of apologizing. She wants him to have at least one companion on his eternal quest. And she is willing to be that companion)

...i wasn't gonna use anything from hyrule historia for fsr because I've heard it contradicts even itself but THIS
Is some interesting shit.
Especially cause the manga gives us nothing to go off of with Shadow Links backstory lmfao.

I want to get into legend of zelda so bad it hurts. The lore?? The art??? The dynamic between two people who would do anything for each other and are constantly being pulled apart by the weight of their duties and time itself???? I'll likely never play the games so I need every other source of content BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE AND I HAVE NO MONEY AND NO LIFE

*props myself up on my elbows* hi Trin I see you’re thinking about First, which reminds me of a question I’ve been wanting to ask:
If you were going to write the manga he’s in, how would you change it and what would you keep the same?
-Sky Floor
Hi Peggy!! Ooh that’s a good question
Mostly I’d keep the manga the same. I love the plot and I feel like the authors did a good job cramming all that into such a short work.
HOWEVER there some things that drive me nuts. Like the master sword. It should be the goddess sword at that point.
Also I’ve got mixed feelings on how Hylia was handled. For instance, her promise to reincarnate Link (and herself). It takes away from the power of Demise’s curse at the end of Skyward Sword. And this manga was meant to be a prequel to that game so…
I don’t think he would’ve wasted breath on that if he’d already known those two were destined to come back again anyway.
So I’d change that. Maybe she promises they would be reborn if Demise breaks free. So reincarnation isn’t official until Demise curses them
And speaking of Hylia…I’d definitely make Hylink explicitly canon. And I’d allude to a backstory between the two of them. Because I definitely got vibes from the manga but it’s hard to tell if they’ve actually got feelings for each other (especially on Link’s side).
The only other thing would be to show how close Link and Orville are. Just a little more. It could just be one panel of Link placing a hand on Orville’s shoulder with a fond smile (or vice versa). Or then fighting side by side in one scene. Idk how exactly I’d show it. But I love their dynamic and need more.
