Sold 50 topaz for over 20,000 Rupees
50 amber for almost 4,000 (not that much but still a decent amount)
Just sold 50 sapphires to a gemstone-loving merchant and it earned me over 30,000 Rupees
Guys guys guys headcanon time
Terrako sensed the fight between Astor and the Yiga and summoned another newcomer from the future.
Guess who shows up
SOREN KOHGA
And it’s like Prince Sidon all over again, he’s so happy to see his parents alive
Well mostly alive
And then they all live happily ever after until Soren has to return to BOTW with the Champion Descendants
And if you’re wondering, YES, he falls through the portal when he gets hit in the head with the artifact. The portal opens and the artifact lands straight on Astor’s head and knocks him the fuck out.

Always loved how Revali's pupils change depending on his behavior. They're normally raptor-like slits, but when he's being genuine and showing his softer side they become softer and rounder.
Age of Calamity would never have been complete without this last DLC. I can understand why some don't like it, and that's no problem. I have some problems with it, myself.
But I overall think this put the final touch on the game, and it gave what we were waiting for: more character interactions!
ALSO. REVALI. LAUGHED. GENUINELY AND HAPPILY. HE FREAKIN' LAUGHED!
Massive Age of Calamity dlc2 Ending Spoilers but like,
I’ll never get over Revali letting Tulin fall asleep on his lap and Teba just laughing softly at the whole thing.
Mipha patting both baby Sidon and adult Sidon’s head like the precious little brothers they both are to her.
Impa being so excited about Terrako touching her finger tenderly! And everything else really this dlc was so wholesome asdadasdasd!!!!
They’re the autistic4autistic couple ever
This is Mòrag and Niall's relationship to me.
Incestous love with a veneer of patriotism and duty.
They would literally die for each other, Architect bless.
"Why of course I would do anything my brother told me to do! It's my job!"
I bet Link, before he knew he had a crush on Zelda, was just like “yeah, this is how everyone feels about Princess Zelda, she’s the princess. This is the sort of admiration and love people feel toward their rulers. I am patriotic with a healthy respect for my kingdom and its leaders :)”
"fuck you my child is completely fine!"
ma'am your child simps for giant ass women-
I spent so long making this and it was worth it. It needed to me done.

Made a Drop it meme of my favorite game!
I desperatly need to screech excitedly about the age of calamity demo, so obviously massive spoiler warning:
Ok so I was not expecting time travel, but you know what I'm 100% down lets muck up the time line together you funky lil eggy fella.
Sure I thought the game was going to be a proper prequel, but I'm honestly just as hyped for a timeline split. And honestly I can see why they would go with this instead of a direct prequel. They're probably trying to avoid the "yay you beat the boss! But actually you still loose" conundrum. From a gameplay standpoint, that's not fun or satisfying. It's rather frustrating actually. It also makes you more invested in the characters and the plot, because you can actually see a chance of them winning.
As for the timeloop theory I've seen floating around, I personally don't think the time travel is creating a time loop in this scenario. If they were going for a time loop scenario there would be no need to have changes to the timeline. And there definitely are already changes happening from what happened in the botw timeline. For one, Link getting the sheikah slate. It's implied in botw that the reason the shrines and towers never activated pre the calamity hitting was because Link was never given the sheikah slate. The slate has some sort of technology that makes it only fully activate if it senses the hero (probably meant as a safety protocol to keep it from being used by someone who wasn't supposed to.). In the botw timeline, link was never given the sheikah slate, thus the slate didn't activate it's runes, and the towers never rise. In age of calamity Link ends up holding the slate, causing it to activate and send out a signal to activate the tower.
Here's what I think is going on with the time travel: the egg guardian moves to/creates a separate timeline. Alternate timelines are already an established concept in the loz lore, so it's not a stretch. The timeline the egg leaves leads to the events of botw, while the timeline the egg arrives in leads to a different outcome thanks to the egg's meddling. It's like the ending of oot: Link leaves behind the timeline where gannondorf rose to power, and ends up in a timeline where gannondorf hasn't made his move yet. The timeline he left behind (adult timeline) continues without him, eventually leading to the events of wind waker. The timeline Link ends up in isn't actually necessarily the past, it's a alternate timeline (the child timeline). One where he hasn't met zelda yet, and gannondorf hasn't taken over. The timeline the egg leaves behind to result in botw is like the adult timeline in this case, and age of calamity is like the child timeline. They split into separate outcomes.
Also the whole timeline shenanigans explains why the egg guardian is no where to be found in botw. It no longer exists in that timeline. Also, since it was in a box in the opening cut scene, I feel it's safe to say it wasn't activated in the botw time line until the moments we see in aoc. It's not that unreasonable to think that they wouldn't have spent the time and resources on a small guardian that didn't apear to have any useful abilities. It had probably been shelved upon being found as a potential pet project if there was extra time. The outward appearance of the egg doesn't exactly scream powerful. I could see them thinking it was some kind of early prototype of the larger guardians. And a prototype isn't as useful as the finished product.
So anyways, other thoughts: Impa may look like her granddaughter, but she is still definitely a certified badass. Impa is the definition of 'looks like a cinnamon roll but could kill you". I am so here for it. Also: the king is once again proving that he is a dick by being mean to the lil egg guardian.
Also, yes I do have a lot of thoughts about the whole "the towers and shrines didn't activate because Link wasn't given the sheikah slate" thing. First off, why wasn't he given it? Zelda herself states in one of the memories in botw that "it appears that this structure (the shrine) was designed to be exclusively accessed by the sword's chosen one". So logically the solution to not being able to activate the shrine is give Link the slate and have him try. But that's not what she does. Instead she immediately goes "welp time to find a loophole". Why do it the hard why when you have the proper key right there in the form of Link? Was Link forbidden from handling the slate? Was Zelda being petty and refusing to let Link touch the slate? What is going on here?? Link not being given the object designed to only activate when held by him probably didn't help them in the fight against the calamity, in fact it probably helped lead to their defeat. Not only was zelda not ready, neither was Link because he couldn't receive the training he was meant to get from the shrines. This also brings up something interesting; Link not being given the slate is probably part of the reason they were having difficulty learning to control the guardians and the devine beasts. Instead of being given direct access, they had been trying to break through their programming by brute force. No wonder it took a while for Daruk to get the hang of controlling his devine beast, he was trying to operate it without having proper access. It could also explain the difference between sheikah tech that is all blue vs sheikah tech that is orange and blue. Blue tech has been fully activated by the hero, while blue and orange is operational but not properly "unlocked".
I’ve been playing Age of Calamity lately and let me tell you, I am absolutely obsessed with this guy.
