#the Kingdom Age

[cemeterything]

a lot of stories will take a so-called "golden age" period and go "hey it wasn't actually that good, in fact it kind of sucked for basically everyone but a few guys who benefitted from exploiting the rest" and i can respect that because i love a good exposure of the bones the system is built on, but the thing is i also kind of want more stories where it really was that good and just as horrifying for it. empires bursting at the seams with opulence, where gold really does run as freely as blood in the gem-encrusted streets. warriors clad in shining armour, with weapons so bright and sharp they hurt to look at. every day is overflowing with possibility, every night a party where people gorge themselves sick on sheer excess and still return for more. even the poorest man in the region lives in comparative luxury to his poverty-stricken peers elsewhere. and none of it is sustainable. it's collapsing under its own weight and the rot eating at its heart, its bottomless hunger barely kept at bay. it's a society that isn't built to last or be outlived.

#🐉 #weirdly enough the hobbit kinda hinted at this with the dwarf kingdom of erebor #but we didnt reslly get to see that ugly overripe rotting *waste* that comes with an age of seemingly endless prosperity

I can't stop thinking about how funny it is that Aang had all this secret lore on Zuko because of the Blue Spirit that he just, didn't share with the Gaang. That boy knew that Zuko was capable of fighting extremely well without bending, was excellent with swords and unnaturally good at infiltration and espionage. And then just never brought it up.

Katara's yelling at Zuko on how he thinks he'd be able to find and break into the Sun Warrior Temple while Aang is fidgeting in the background. Sokka starts giving Zuko a hard time about his swords, asking if a spoiled prince would know how to use them. Aang is vibrating unsure of how to explain that Sokka Might Die if he tried to swordfight Zuko unprepared but now its been too long and it'd be super awkward to bring up.

#i understand why aang didnt bring up the blue spirit thing #just so funny that he has Zuko Lore expansion pack while the gaang just has the basic package #also tbf zuko ceased to be an issue from the north pole to bss #dude just wasn't around #until suddenly he helped collapse the biggest city in the earth kingdom and then wanted to join your cult #how exactly do you bring up he has sick sword knowledge #and that you sat on said information for months? #also if sokka knew zuko was a swordmaster he'd have tried to convert him ages ago

The fandom collectively sort of agreed that Zelda was a bad cook without a lot of evidence

That was until Age of Calamity came along and actually proved the fandom right!

However, there is a side quest in Tears of the Kingdom that implies she can cook actually

And the only reasonable explanation to this is that Link taught her, obviously

#Zelda can cook one meal #and only one #and she cooks it for anyone who is sat down long enough #cos she is just so proud of herself #the legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #link #zelda #zelink #breath of the wild #zelda headcanon #totk thoughts #age of calamity #me myself

Your mansion awaits! 💎

That's what the last phase of the human age is for, and it's happening now, the end times of the human age...to weed out all the "rotten apples."

The ones who refuse to grow, who refuse to believe the truth, who refuse to follow the one, universally united way that leads to the redemption of our eternal souls.

The proverbial tree of life is being shaken now; that's called living as a human being. Those who fight for Christ and stand strong in faith until the Kingdom Age arrives will prosper with Christ in the New City on streets of gold as transparent as glass.

A river of life and a tree of life will sustain the nations of His people, and we will live abundantly and according to the eternal love and infinite light of His truth for a thousand years of peace and righteous prosperity.

You are Link yes, but Link is NOT you. He is his own character, as much as some of you want to pretend he isn't at all:

He is sweet, honest, has insecurities. Has worries. Cares

As fun as "manwhore tarzan gremlin" Link can be in fan content, far too many people treat that as canon just because of popular memes or fanart. When in reality, he's more like. a serious and awkward teen who makes an occasional joke every now and then.

It sometimes feels like people forget he's meant to be a loyal knight and a hero

Just because YOU don't care about anything or Princess Zelda, etc, doesn't mean that Link also doesn't care.

Hylian Game Titles pixel art project is complete! Please enjoy all 19 games in their respective Hylian script.

This was honestly super fun to do. I feel like I know so much more about the world of Zelda, and I've started to find small things in games I've never noticed before. I can confidently say that I'm fluent in Hylian now.

Which one is your favorite?

Been playing Tears of the Kingdom

#the legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #zelda breath of the wild #imagine being locked into an eternal cycle with your soulmates who are basically Jesus and the Devil #and the only other person who understands being displaced in time is that lady who did it to herself so she could launch you into the sky #and build iPads and blow stuff up #I know link & Zelda and ganondorf aren’t like Immortal immortal they reincarnate #but like apparently Zelda was fighting off calamity Ganon for 100 years while Link took a nap and didn’t age a day so #I choose to believe these bitches are immortal

BotW/TotK/AoC Zelda's relationship with divinity and religion is such a dynamic. She is literally the reincarnated human form of one of their goddesses, and blessed with the power of another. And she's sitting there, praying desperately to herself and wondering why no one is answering. Praying to the other three goddesses and wondering why all they do is look at her expectantly. Of course Hylia aids and answers Link, she has loved him since he was the First Hero. But in this lifetime instead of unlocking and mastering her powers with ease, she spends literally an entire decade screaming at herself "Why don't you love me?!?!" expecting an answer from the outside, and growing increasingly frustrated with herself for this fact, and then getting mad at her boyfriend because "Why do I love you more than I love me!?!?" (While he stands there with hearteyes, wondering how she doesn't realize she's the greatest being in their universe and literally worshiping the ground she walks on)

And then, even after she unlocks her power, their history is so mythologized that she doesn't realize that the goddess she's still mad at, who makes her feel like such a failure, is literally herself.

#she needs so much therapy #and like a 1000y long hug #like how bad can self loathing get?!? #zelda #goddess hylia #the legend of zelda #legend of zelda #breath of the wild #tears of the kingdom #age of calamity #zelink
