Hylia - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Skyward Sword Zelda (+Hylia) + Purpose for Day 1 Sepfember.
Thank you for @rebornofstars for the idea of this event.
Prompt list: Sepfember 2024
A few weeks ago I made this map with some better general goddess worship borders!
It’s essentially so the Golden Goddesses get some love, and Hylia doesn’t hoard it all like a jerk. This is very general in new borders, but it’s mostly divided up among the races.
Ritos are mixed, and worship both Din and Nayru, the Gorons are hardcore Din fans, the Gerudos(when not worshiping the seven swordswomen) are fans for Farore, and with how secluded the Zora are to outside influences on religion, they really only worship Nayru.
For example, a Goron may exclaim, “Holy Din!” A Rito may say, “By Nayru, or, “By Din’s graces.” A Gerudo may say, “Farore, give me strength.” And a Zora may, like a Rito, say, “By Nayru.”
Now, you may notice an odd imbalance in popularity for Nayru, but that’s because her worship is more confined to the Lanayru region and the Hebra mountains, due to those places similarities to her power, but that only means you’re more likely to find a completely devoted Nayru follower, than say a Din follower, due to Din’s influence being more widespread, and Nayru’s being more secluded.
Hylian are still worshiping Hylia though, because they’re basic, but this was mostly just to give some variety to exclamations in regions instead for everyone talking about Hylia, when she wasn’t even the cool one.
If I ever post a fic here, this will probably be what I go with, so if a Zora starts exclaiming about Nayru, this is why.
(Also if you’re wondering, Hylia is number one is worship spread, Farore is number two, Din is a close three, and Nayru is number four)
Another dumb AU idea, probably.
So the hero of time looks like the first hero from that one skyward sword manga right? So here's the dumb idea: the hero of time, years after his adventures and an adult once again, wakes up to the song of time ringing in his ears, in a place he doesn't recognize, and wearing a green tunic and red scarf that is definitely not his. That's when some people show up, see the hero of time in the first hero's garb, and immediately assume that he is in fact the first hero. They then drag him back to whatever strong hold they are holed up at or whatever. This leads the hero of time being force to pretend to be the first hero while figuring out what the hell is going on. Also the hero of time needing to restrain his burning desire to punch the goddesses hylia in the face.
Random notes:
Hylia doesn't recognize that the hero of time isn't the first hero, she identifies mortals by their souls and the hero of time does in fact have the soul of the first hero.
Hylia does notice the sudden "personally shift", especially how he keeps avoiding her and tenses up whenever she's around. She's worried for her hero and vows to figure out what's wrong and make it right. She's doing this with the best intentions, not realizing that it's only making the hero of time more stressed.
Link has all of his gear from his adventures and is not afraid to use them. He avoided using them at first out of fear of being found out, but eventually ends up realizing that saving people is way more important and just either deflects questions about his "new" gear or bullshits his way out of the situation.
The fierce diety isn't evil, and link using the mask could be used as the "identity reaveal"
Another option: the hero of time became the feirce diety after the fight with majora, and low key works with the goddess of time now. The goddess of time was pissed off when she finds out what the hero of time had been through, and decides that hylia obviously is NOT responsible enough to have a chosen hero and yoinks link. This of course opens up the possibility for the goddess of time showing up and giving hylia a stern lecture. Hijinks ensues.
This entire concept is perfect for angst and drama and yet here I am wanting to use it almost exclusively for hyjinx and Tomfoolery.
