Hm. HM.

#me at totk after finishing the regional phenomena and bonus dungeon bullshit #specifically the riju and mineru bits #idk man IDK call me. a stickler for tradition #but the usurption of spirit sage #creation of lightning sage #and outright erasure of shadow sage #does not. quite. sit right with me #not only bc now i have to reconcile even more crap with my series rewrite #but also bc like. the gerudo have always been associated with spirit for me #and tbqh i was 100% ready to write off lightning abilities as a power they could have #i had ideas on how to work it anyways #but also just the blatant sheikah disrespect too im. hh. #categorically one of the most important tribes/cultures in the zelda universe #historically associated with the shadow sage and the colour PURPLE (COUGH). #and yet nah fam just a tiny piece for impa in this one quest to kickstart your bullshit #and some minor contribution from paya thats just. kinda there #LIKE. i could have even forgiven it if like mineru was the sage of s h a d o w instead of spirit bc i already thought of a way to make that #work with her abilities and shit #and then it could have led to her passing the torch (or stone if u will) down to paya to take her place and help link and co #AND IT WOULD MAKE FUCKING SENSE TOO BC OF HOW/WHEN/WHAT PAYA CONTRIBUTES IN THE ONE QUEST #could explore that and go back to the one theory/idea some ppl had before release that the zonai were a third offshoot tribe of the sheikah #the tech similarities and shit would make more sense then too #as well as certain shrine locales in botw being in zonai places #im just. im salty i guess lmao #just some more random bullshit for me to work out in my writing ig #i might. try to work in the inclusion of sage of lightning separate from sage of spirit #like i have with forest/wind and water/earth #we'll see idk #totk spoilers #it idk ill be as vague as possible i spose
