Character: Sheik | sagesurvivor Canon: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time About: Mysterious ninja minstrel that guides the hero on his quest to awaken the sages and defeat the Big Bad. Actually the princess that went missing 7 years ago in disguise.
PLANS General: OKAY. SO. After absorbing too much nostilium and just generally being upset without talking about it, Sheik got coma'd at the end of the event last month and is going noctaere this month. I'm planning on having a post where people can investigate the effects his noctaere might be having on Songerein and dive into his dreamscape to try to snap him out of it, which will be open to anyone. After a big boss fight in the dreamscape, I'm planning that it will be revealed that Sheik has actually been a Zelda all along! Wow!!
HOWEVER, for the actual boss fight itself, I would like to do an interest check for those who would want to participate, in the interest of not playing the same fight over several times. I do not want to do more than two boss fight threads at the maximum, but I am open to having 3+ people in a thread should there be sufficient interest. Note: participating in the boss fight is not required for finding out 1998's Biggest Spoiler. Your character is totally free to hide out until the dust settles and a princess pops out of the nightmare goo, that's fine.
So uh, comment here if you wanna beat up the essence of all the anxieties a precognitive princess has been repressing for nearly a decade. If we're not friends on plurk already, please drop your username here too as that's my preferred method of organizing these sorts of things. Thank you!
...That is to say, Gina can definitely investigate and take part in things in the dreamscape! Including the boss battle if there's room for her! (If you need my plurk, it is goreo!)
Character: Zelda | multidisciplinary Canon: Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom About: Princess of the kingdom of Hyrule who just can't catch a break and keeps getting stuck sacrificing herself to save everyone.
PLANS General:
Overall, Zelda has been a pretty sad sack for the past few months after losing a lot of her close CR and especially her boyfriend Link. She kinda hit rock bottom and tried to sleep-coma her way back to Hyrule in May but didn't manage it, so she spent June being depressed and emotional.
But with this ongoing crisis from the nightmare bleed, Zelda will be finally be getting her ass in gear and moving forward instead of wallowing.
I am still in the process of getting my shit together and condensing all the stuff I still wanna do with her into the next couple months, but here's what I have so far.
July plans:
* Sheik noctaere dreamscape. Zelda's favorite anxious mess has succumbed to all the nostilium he absorbed and fell into a sleep coma at the end of June. She's going to be very fretful while this happens because she saw that he was in a really bad way last month. When his noctaere dreamscape starts, Zelda will be deeply involved in as many capacities as I can shove her into lmao. I am currently tossing around the idea of having her utilize the Light Dragon Noodle to help with dispelling nostilium/purifying Sheik.
* Joshua's event. Zelda (very tragically) doesn't have any CR with Joshua, but as the head of the archives, she'll get pulled into the investigation by her staff grouching about his many overdue books. Most of her investigating will center around what she can discover at the archives and what's going on in Orkili. Zelda knows a lot about their reactor and power grid, so she's inclined to help them out.
* A nice dream maybe??????? I have the vague inclination to do an open interactive dream of something nice since lord knows Zelda has had it rough for the past few months. I don't have any solid ideas in mind, just /vague hand gestures
Rest of game plans:
* The Light Dragon. After an emotional year spent coping with her eventual 'death' and the ramifications of that choice, Zelda is finally going to reach the acceptance phase of this journey. With it, she will gain the ability to create a miniature version of the Light Dragon using dreamotion (like how she did during the Flower Festival).
The Light Noodle is an autonomous and sentient extension of Zelda that can understand and interact with other characters. It is created largely from Zelda's boundless love (romantic, platonic, etc.) given form through dreamotion. Similarly to its Hyrule counterpart, it is capable of healing people. It can't speak, but it's pretty good at communicating nonverbally and characters who are particularly empathetic may be able to understand intrinsically what it is trying to say to them.
I'll be introducing noodle during Sheik's noctaere dreamscape, but after that, it will be freely available if anyone wants to interact with it. (Please interact with it. I've been building up to this for a whole year ;;)
* The Master Sword. Since arriving after her TOTK canon update, Zelda has been in possession of the broken Master Sword. From July-October 2023 and June 2024-Present, Zelda has been wearing it on her back in a makeshift scabbard in order to keep it safe.
I originally had some ideas for Zelda to be inspired to try to use dreamotion to repair the Master Sword and strengthen it, like how the Light Dragon will do in canon. I never quite managed to get this idea off the ground, so I'm going to use the current crisis as impetus for Zelda to consider this idea.
Over the course of the endgame, Zelda will come up with this idea and pursue it to a successful conclusion of creating a repaired and dreamotion-infused Master Sword. Since Zelda can't wield a sword, she will need to entrust it to someone capable. I don't have anyone in mind yet, but this would be limited to Zelda's really close CR. This can include returning characters.
Event:
Chances are high that Zelda will have an open TL on Nightmare City. Zelda is more positive-dreamotion spec'd than nightmare energy spec'd, so she's possibly going to play some kind of supporting role in that capacity. I expect to also have her in Reverein helping with clearing out the remaining nightmare bleed fragments and jumping into the tether investigation.
I also have a strong interest in whatever component is going to involve themes of seven deadly sins on account of Zelda being soul-bonded to the literal avatar of wrath lmfao
Etc.: If you have anything on your bucket list to do with Zelda, now's the time to come at me o/
So I've taken time to ruminate on this and the more I think about it, the more I'm interested in Zelda learning how Joshua deals with Phoenix. Like, how he feels about it, how he rationalizes his own identity in relation to it. I haven't played FFXVI (thanks square for not putting it on PC) so I don't really know much about Dominants beyond what I've gleaned from RP and the wiki (it's not much). And if we do end up going phoenix vs light dragon kaiju battle, there'll definitely be opportunity afterwards for them to talk about that. Zelda has a lot of complicated feelings about giving up who she is to become the light dragon, so I feel like there's some stuff that can be explored there between her and joshua
I would absolutely love this conversation to happen. Even though Zelda and Joshua didn't get a chance to really interact beforehand (I feel like they were ships passing through the night!), it'd be really cool to have their respective arcs, which seem to be foils to one another, end with them having a clash. Then, after the dust settles (maybe before whatever final confrontation the mods have cooked up??) they can have that talk you mentioned, complicated feelings and all!
(Also I hope you get to play XVI when it comes out on PC... someday...)
