I was just thinking about the Sheikah Tech’s complete absence from Tears of The Kingdom

Along with some of the criticism of totk I see is a lot mention the absence of all Sheikah tech (divine beasts, guardians, shrines, Sheikah towers, etc) is weird in totk like it never existed.

I thought so too but I also think it kind of makes sense why it doesn’t exist. This technology was all made to serve its purpose in defeating Calamity Ganon and once that he was defeated there is really no use for this technology anymore. Pre-events of botw just before Link wakes up is when the shrines, the towers, and the divine beasts all become active and when the beasts start causing problems to their respective regions.

Even 100 years ago just right before the calamity wipes out most of Hyrule the technology was just then being unearthed and researched. 10,000 years before the Sheikah tech had been banished along with the Sheikah and divine beasts buried before they were rediscovered to fight calamity Ganon.

I assume post-botw that’s also been the case. This technology has served its purpose and is likely no longer needed, or they simply buried them again and would bring them back if another calamity was to occur. And the shrines going back underground.

And in the case of the guardians, I mean, I think it makes sense that they’re all gone because would you still want these killing machines around that wiped out most of Hyrule 100 years ago and were a threat to anyone ever since?

So I think it makes sense for the Sheikah technology to be mostly scraped from the world of totk besides the towers still using it. I do wonder why the Sheikah slate was re-designed and I still call it the Sheikah slate sometimes but I do think it’s cool that it resembles a Nintendo Switch.

Kakariko Village, Post-TOTK Zelda: This is a terribly dangerous political situation to be in, Impa. You're quite certain the records were destroyed? Impa: We've scoured every part of the royal library. There is no trace of the genealogies. Zelda: Meaning I'm the last confirmed member of the royal bloodline... That's very bad for succession. Impa: You could appoint someone. Zelda: Ah! Yes, that could work. Paya, would you-? Paya: Absolutely not. Zelda: Very well. Impa, do you have any ideas? Impa: I suppose you could ask the mayor of Hateno. But, really, I don't think you need to worry about succession issues. Zelda: Why is that? Impa: You have Link. Link, choking on tea: ????? Impa: For protection. Zelda: Oh! Yes! Of course that's what you meant. How silly of me.

*post-botw but pre-totk*

Link: so it’s come to my attention that some of you can’t contract your pupils to deal with light. Thus I have created these.

Link: *holds up sunglasses*

Impa:

Paya:

Zelda:

Sheik:

Purah:

Purah: I’m sorry, you can what?

Headcanon

The shrine of resurrection changed a lot about Link. Chiefly though, it affected his body. Fangs, slit pupil, glowing eyes, etc. Gifts from the old ones to make his journey easier. Too bad they’re so unnerving.

“Impa

The Sheikah Elder

Former chief of the Sheikah tribe who served the royal family of Hyrule for generations and is a living witness to its near extinction. Sometime after guiding Link through the Calamity, Impa made her granddaughter Paya the new chief.

Being over a century old hasn’t stopped Impa from doing her part in searching for Princess Zelda. She’s investigating the geoglyphs around Hyrule--certain they will provide clues to where the princess is.”

Does anyone know the inspiration for the Sheikah clothing? I want to make a reference to it in something in writing but I don’t know what the specific names for the clothing types are called, specifically the jacket.

#I know there’s the haori jacket but is that what this would fall under?#botw purah #sheikah #totk purah #botw Impa #TOTK Impa #botw Paya #TOTK Paya #totk robbie #botw robbie

Kaleidoscope

read on Ao3

words: 1620

As the early evening breeze blew past, Purah took a deep breath. The night air, somehow, felt so much lighter without the tendrils of red and black that had once billowed up from the ground. She looked out at Hyrule Field with the castle in the distance, still in ruin, some of their world still floating up in the sky.

Hyrule, broken and fractured and beautiful like a kaleidoscope, slept beneath the stars, the way it always had.

Adjusting her glasses, she hopped down the stairs and surveyed Lookout Landing. The people who had been staying here for refuge were now helping clean things up, offering aid to those who still needed it. At Princess Zelda’s request, Lookout Landing was still going to be run by Purah - her own personal research area with supplies for any passing travelers. She was grateful.

She caught a glimpse of white to her left, and peeked her head inside Josha’s study area. Inside, Josha herself slept soundly, with her head against Robbie’s shoulder. Robbie, having come back from the tech lab after Ganondorf was defeated, was tinkering with something too small for Purah to identify. She giggled at the sight, walking quietly closer to alert him of her presence.

“You look comfy.”

Goggled eyes lifted to meet hers, and he scoffed. “This was not intentional.”

Placing a finger up on her chin, she grinned cheekily. “Want me to wake her?”

“Are you mad?!” he hissed, like he hadn’t even considered the thought.

As much as he and Josha butted heads, as much as he tried to keep up the ruse of the old genius who cared for no one, she knew him too well. Purah smiled, this time perhaps a little more genuine, and walked over to the nearby chair to grab the blanket thrown over it. She knelt down in front of them, placing it over Josha’s sleeping form and Robbie’s legs. When he looked at her with a bewildered expression, she shrugged. “You’re not going anywhere any time soon. Might as well be warm.”

Looking down, a slight blush rose to his cheeks as he slowly lifted the goggles from his eyes. “Thanks.”

She smiled and stood up, placing a hand on her hip. “Anything for you, partner.” Turning to leave them be, she paused for a moment and spoke over her shoulder. “Y’know, I’ve missed experimenting with you.”

There was a moment of silence, only broken by a small sigh. “So have I.”

“Will you think about staying at Lookout Landing with Josha and me? The tech labs will survive on their own.”

He sighed again. The weight of their century apart was heavy in the air. “Very well. If that is what you want.”

Purah smiled to herself, straightened up, and turned around to face him. “Josha will be delighted to hear that. I look forward to everything we’ll explode together.”

Robbie’s brows shot up, before making way for a grin. “Just like old times.”

Giving him one last wink, she turned and headed back outside, feeling a bit lighter once more. Much to her surprise, a certain old lady stood beside the entrance, talking softly with her guard. Purah grinned and rushed over, waving as she did so. “Impa!”

Turning around, her sister greeted her with a warm, tired smile. “Hello, Purah. You look well.”

She smirked, popping one hip out to the side, gesturing with her hand. “You look…old. I can give you some of my anti-aging rune, you know.”

“Ah, I’m quite all right. I’m still just as spry as I used to be. Cado here is the one who could use some youth. I often leave him in the dust.” As she chuckled good-naturedly at her own joke, Cado huffed a half-hearted sigh, perhaps indicating that she was right. After she finished chuckling, Impa waved her guard away, telling him to rest or grab something to eat. Perhaps not wanting to argue, Cado left the two alone, but stayed close enough to still keep an eye on Impa.

Purah watched her sister for a moment, wondering how long it had been since they’d seen each other. Despite her aged body, it really did seem that Impa was in good health. She was relieved.

“Now that Paya is in charge of the village, I expect you’ll come visit me more often, little sister,” Purah teased lightly. “I hear you’ve been traveling all over Hyrule.”

Smiling lightly to herself, Impa glanced up at her. “Not for any good reason, mind you.” After a brief moment, she shrugged. “I suppose I can make the trek here every now and then.”

They nudged each other with their elbows, the way they used to when they were kids. Purah couldn’t help but remember that Impa had hated when she used to do that - now it was a sort of comfort. They were so different from who they used to be, but they were still Impa and Purah.

Suddenly, three figures emerged from the shelter - two of which were very familiar.

“ - was just so wonderful, Mubs,” Zelda was saying earnestly. “I do hope you’ll share the recipe with me.” Followed behind her was Link, quiet as ever, and Mubs herself, dusting off her clothes. She chuckled softly.

“I’d be honored, your highness! It was my grandmother’s recipe. I’m so glad you liked it. And you have your brave knight to thank for recovering the ingredients I needed from Lurelin Village.”

Link gave her a polite nod, and Zelda’s smile grew as she looked over at him. “Oh, Link! So that’s where you disappeared to earlier! Thank you, that was very kind.” He reached up, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly like he often did around her. Mubs thanked them both again and bid them good night, and Zelda turned to face Link fully. Before she could say anything else, a horse whinnied restlessly from the stable. Immediately, Link rushed over to the stable hand to help him calm it. Zelda looked on with a rather fond look on her face. After a moment, she seemed to sense someone watching, and turned, blinking in surprise. “Oh! Impa, Purah, hello!”

She walked over to them with a bright smile. Impa greeted her first. “Hello, princess.”

“Hey, princess. Nice to see ya!”

“You, too.” She bowed her head slightly in greeting, clasping her hands behind her back. “Wow. I don’t think I’ve seen you two together in…”

“A long time,” Purah answered for her, placing a hand on her hip.

Zelda chuckled in response, looking between the two of them as if she were afraid either one could disappear at any moment. Impa reached out, placing a shaky, wrinkled hand on top of Zelda’s. “How are you faring?”

She seemed thrown off by that question, and Purah couldn’t blame her. It was probably a loaded one. Still, she managed to handle it with grace. “I am…all right,” she answered, seemingly honestly. “It’s all been so strange…I don’t remember much of what happened, but having Link with me makes me feel like…like everything will be okay.”

“It will be,” Purah replied, as Impa suddenly gained a glint in her eye that only lasted a moment. “Ganondorf is officially gone.”

“Y-Yes. You’re right,” Zelda agreed, just as Link approached from behind. She glanced over her shoulder, and her body language instantly changed to be much more relaxed. “Ah. Did you calm the horse?”

He gave her a nod, then turned his attention to the other two, lifting a hand to wave.

Impa let go of Zelda’s hand, a pleased smile pulling at her lips. “Hello, Link. It’s good to see you.”

“Hey there, Linky!” Purah stepped forward, giving him a noogie. “How’s my favorite swordsman?”

He cried out in surprise, but it soon turned into a slight laugh. When he pulled back, he gave her a wry smile, signing, “I don’t know. Ask Hoz.”

With a laugh, Purah rolled her eyes. “Just as funny as ever, I see.”

“Have you been taking good care of the princess?” Impa asked, raising a brow at him.

“Of course. It’s what I take most seriously.”

She seemed pleased by that answer, but Purah noticed a slight blush rising to Zelda’s cheeks as she laughed slightly. “Okay, okay, no need to bombard Link with all that, Impa. Like Purah said, we’ve nothing to worry about anymore.”

“Yes. You should be resting,” Impa agreed, smiling up at both of them. “You look tired. You two ought to go home.”

Zelda frowned. “But -” Gently, Link’s shoulder nudged hers. She blinked, looking into his eyes for a moment - clear, blue, full of care for her. She sighed softly. “Oh, very well. Purah, we shall be back first thing tomorrow to help continue clean up.”

Tapping her hand to her forehead and outward in a salute, Purah grinned. “You got it, princess. Linky, get her home safe, y’hear?”

After mocking her salute, a cheeky grin pulled at his lips as he took the Purah Pad out, using it to travel them both back to Hateno.

After the blue glow disappeared, Purah and Impa exchanged a look. The latter spoke first. “It seems, even after all this time, nothing has changed.”

“Yeah.” Sighing softly, Purah tapped her chin lightly. Even when he had no memory, he would have done anything for her. And Zelda was always happiest and most comfortable with him. “I wonder if they’ll ever tell each other how they really feel.”

Impa chuckled softly, leaning slightly against her sister. “Perhaps they already know. Perhaps this is enough.” Purah placed her arm around her gently, glancing up at the sky. Beneath the stars, they smiled.

The kaleidoscope smiled back.

Another batch Ganon and him getting bigger and bigger XD All the Zelda costumes : D Impa and Paya (I was so sure Impa from AoC was more simmilar to Paya, but the changes are there) OH nad Rito and proof that Revali was a teen bc look how short he is with his red dots on cheeks that every Adult don't have. He is a baby and we do not let anyone badmouth Revali in this house (he wanted Link to prove him that he was equal bc that how he makes friends. There would be arrows everywhere and nobody would be safe if Calamity didn't end the way it did. too little time to get close, too much stress bc CALAMITY)
