Zelda's Tears, Link's Suffering

Zelda's tears, Link's suffering

How frustrating will it be for Zelda and Link when they will learn that the sacrifices made during BOTW Where for naught.

The useless praying

The guardians

The divine creatures

The soldiers death

The champion's and the king's death

Link's death (and 100 years nap)

Zelda's 100 years of arm-wrestling with Ganon (and lost of her divine powers)

All of this to hold back and beat a sliver of the real deal.

That what was depicted in the ancient mural was not what happened. (It was so much worse)

Their role isn't finished, they don't get to have their happily either after yet.

They will have to fight and to suffer and to sacrifice and to struggle in order to get stronger and to win (to finally rebuilt the kingdom and live in peace).

They will probably hope that the price to pay won't be too high (Not like last time).

What If (Bleach)

What if reiatsu has a similar way of working as magic in HP.

It would be awesome to have a talking portrait of dead (really dead) people, giding you and providing a glimpse of the past.

The reiatsu of the person could be incorporated in the painting/drawing with Kido spells and seals. It would survive the person's death and be self sufficient.

But it would be a very precious and pricy thing (money, ressources, talent...) , only affordable by the nobles or the higher levels of the Gotei 13. The more you pour reiatsu in the object during your lifetime, the more realistic the reactions would be. The reiatsu is engraved in a time and it would take time and a lot of effort to put a profound way of thinking into it (the chiefs of the noble houses and the captains would have a duty to implement regularly their reiatsu in their ceremonial portrait).

The family's shrines and some workdesks would be very noisy.

.

Hisana's funeral portrait telling Byakuya he's a massive dumbass (and becoming fast friend with Ichigo when Rukia showed up with him).

Kaien doing his best to help Rukia and the Shibas. Him being extatic at meeting Ichigo (and trashing Isshin). His portrait would be side by side with Isshin's and Miyako's so they could converse easily.

Unohana smiling on Kyone's desk. Kyoraku and Rukia having one of Ukitake on theirs.

Rangiku ranting at Gin's ceremonial portrait for him being a bastard and abandoning her.

There would be no fair portrait of Aizen, as he was always lying (and couldn't afford a portrait that looked like the real him).

Totk minute of silence

The trailer showed a lot, but there were some pieces missing.

First of all : long hair is no more trending among the girls in Hyrule (I still hold some hope for Paya).

Second of all : some tima has passed between the two games and there might have been collateral damage.

Impa was old, already past 110 years at least. She might not be there in this game. Paya could have taken her place or maybe she accepted to try Purah's brand of crazy and got turned into a kid.

Same thing with Robby. (I hope not but, well... they're already elderly in Botw).

King Dorephan might be deceased too. We can see in the trailer that Sidon's outfit was changed : he has more armor on his shoulder and torso, he wears more tissues too (on his neck and on his hands). But the more telling part is the crown on his head. It looks terribly similar to King Dorephan's crown.

I also think the same thing might have happened to Blurbo (if I remember his name correctly), the chief of the Gorons. We don't see Yunobo in the trailers so maybe there's something going on with the goron (that or he got a growth spurt and totally changed physically).

This is just a theory without any proof but the Rito's Chief could have died too and Teba stood up to take his place. That's the 'positive' theory because in the 'negative' one, Teba could have been killed as a warrior by some monsters and his son stood up to take the champion mantle. (I hope I'm wrong because I really liked Teba. He was some reliable adult compared to the others champions. I mean, he has dad vibes). I'm rooting for Chief Teba with all my heart.

Third point :

Link's happiness might be dead in this one.

That and his arm (even though he gets a cooler one later).

And his sword

And his tranquility, his hobbies, his plans for the week

But, hey, at least he can go explore some floating islands and he gets to extent his wardrobe !

If it's really a Zelda from the past, then we will finally get a colored Zelda.

Because we were robbed of it with Tetra (who turned pastry white in her Zelda outfit).

Until now, Zelda's incarnation were always clear colored.

Hey am I the only one who feels like this (^^^^) could be a previous incarnation of Zelda, like from the First Calamity??? It's just a bit of speculation floating around in my brain, but here me out

Throughout the trailer, Zelda appears to be wearing the exact same outfit as the character above. Around her neck, Mystery Lady is wearing the same weird glowy tear-shaped object Zelda is seen holding. She's wielding what looks like some sort of light-based power, which reminds me of Zelda's divine power. And, imo, she does have a bit of a superficial resemblance to our current Zelda

And, in this screenshot, we can see that Zelda has acquired tear-like markings on her cheeks similar to those of the Mystery Woman

What this really makes me wonder is, if this Is the previous incarnation of Zelda, why is she here?? How is she going to show up in the game/what role is she going to play? Will there be time travel?? Will it be like Skyward Sword, where they had to go back in time to truly defeat the Demon King???

Chad's supporters (and how they became invested in his best friend whereabouts)

I'm still laughing myself sick thinking that Chad ended up the most famous of the group.

Seriously, the guy is an international celebrity (with a face that reminds me of Kyourakou but that's beside the point).

He's strong, he's famous. There must be a fanclub and paparazzi on his back.

(Let's be real, Karakura city would be insufferable about his career and put photos and interviews of him everywhere).

So imagine some groupies or paparazzis trying to get more information about this quiet guy. He doesn't talk much and is super discreet despite his massive body.

So they search info on his younger years and they find Karakura. Extatic, they keep digging information. And then they find something new and weird : he was a (sort of) delinquent, alongside a ginger and violent boy, that kicked yakuzas and deliquents asses regularly.

Some even dig up videos of some fights (with a quality so horrible it makes eyes cry).

When they bring it up to the champion, he simply hums and smiles. So the researchers are out on a mission : they have to find the ginger dude.

(Is he an athlete too ? Or did he end up with yakuzas ?)

What they find is a little disapointing : the ginger boy that made full grown yakuzas look over their shoulder and tremble in fear is an average man working on translations.

Well, they learn really quickly that he's not so average after all.

Upon closer inspection, he still has brighly coloured hair and a nice complexion (tanned skin and a slim figure).

After a few weeks of stalking, they also see him kick a group of yakuza's asses without breaking a sweat.

The interest grows with each new information.

(Ichigo feels a few eyes following him regularly but he can't pinpoint from where it goes. It unnerves him but it doesn't seem to have bad consequences so he suck it up).

((Chad is deeply amused when he finds out his fanclub curiosity for his friend. As a good celebrity, he doesn't hesitates to deliver when an opportunity arises.)

One day (between two competitions), he finds himself back in Karakura and chooses to go visit his friends. He stops by the Karakura clinic, where Orihime greets him with a smile and her bubbliness. Ichigo is on a tight schedule because of his deadlines so Chad accompagnies Orihime to get Kazui back from school. By the time diner is ready, Ichigo greets them with a tired but winning smile.

The next morning, he and Chad go to Tatsuki's dojo to talk and play fight. Chad knows that some of his fans are in the crowd, or trying to hide behind bushes while searching for the best way to get a look at him (and at Ichigo who is getting extremely popular amongs them).

Scheming, he offers to fight with and oblivious Ichigo who accepts.

They warm up and get on the ring, they smile at each other while they get in position. And then Tatsuki ring the beginning of the fight.

Let it be said that it was at that moment that the hidden groupies adopted Ichigo as a permanent fixture in their obsession. (the whole fight was filmed and is still showed on multiple occasions)

They fought hard and fast for a very long time. Ichigo, for his lean boddy and more petite frame, held his own against a medalled champion and even gave a good fight. They didn't hold back and punched with everything they had. Chad still won in the end and heleped a sweating and laughing Ichigo off the floor ("man, I'm so out of practice!"). Chad hummed and patted him with a smile.

He leaves a few days later to get back on his training, Ichigo none the wiser of his scheming. (His sisters are not, they see photos and videos of their brother blossom on the internet, along side Chad's. They see the fandom's mindblow after the fight's video. Like good sisters, they keep their mouth shut in front of Ichigo, but find the situation hilarious).

Ichigo, the hot translator, ends up with a solid fanbase without even trying (and is the last one to find out). Chad is still smug about it, years later.

I'm going to be very upset if Zack survives only to find Aerith dead.

That would suck very much.
