Future Legend of Zelda Story · 11:35pm March 15th
For those interested I am thinking of actually doing a Legend of Zelda story at some point in the future, completely on it's own and not tired to any existing series I have worked on so far, and the game I have decided to focus on is one of the newer games that have come out: Tears of the Kingdom. Now, I currently have two ideas on who to send to join Link in this adventure: Lyra, or the Crusaders who will older and closer to Link's age... however, I am also open to suggestions if someone has an idea that fits better for such a story.
The CMC would be an interesting team they know what there good at. So I'll read what ever you choose to go.
Hmm.. The CMC would be cool.. But so would Lyra. Hmmm.. Either one works for me.
I know it would be a larger undertaking than your standard fare, but what about the Student Six but separated on arrival? Sandbar could wind up with the Hylians in Lookout Landing or Hateno Villaga, Smolder with the Gorons, Yona with the Gerudo, Gallus with the Rito, Silverstream with the Zora, and Ocellus with the Yiga (in disguise for her own survival). And before anyone talks about Ocellus drawing the short straw winding up in the Depths, who else but Ocellus could survive and make a living while waiting for extraction in the company of the Yiga Clan? Despite their leader's buffoonery let us not forget that they are assassins.
So what about Breath of the Wind?

I like the idea of splitting the group up, especially if it alternated points of view, rather than just having a single person gathering them up and bringing them back to Lookout Landing.
A less ambitious version of that would just be to split up the Crusaders up. I imagine Scootaloo could be building flying machines in Tarrey Town. Applebloom could be doing research under Purrah or growing fruit somewhere, and Sweetie Bell would be with one of the traveling musicians.
If you wanted to tie someone closer to the plot, include a pony that gets sent back in time alongside Zelda, then grows up to be an Alicorn.
5772516 I thought it would be best to focus on a single game and that there was more potential in choosing TotK, instead of BotW, as the focus of the story.

Alright, it's just the fact that both games are set in the same "continuity" from the game's different timelines.
I'm finding it strange that you're doing the second one, but not the first one?
It's like doing God of War Ragnarok, but didn't do God of War 2018.
Or do Ghostrunner 2, but not the first one.
Or if you did Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy games, but never do the original trilogy. ( Ironically, I'm playing Uncharted 2 Remastered right about now. Already completed Uncharted 4: Thief's End/Lost legacy, and Uncharted 1 Remastered. )
5772605 The only real problem with the continuity comment is that literally no one, outside of the main characters like Purah and Sidon for example, remembers Link, even though he literally saved them from Calamity Ganon like a year or two ago.
However, I do understand the comment in question, and normally I wouldn't skip a game that's part of a linked series, but... I just feel that using Tears of the Kingdom, on it's own, might be better overall.

Alright.
Anyways, I will eventually fully listed Trap Team and Superchargers respectfully when I get around it.
5772616 Very well, I look forward to the expanded list.
Also, there's actually two other reasons for using TotK and not BotW: first... I'm honestly not sure how to explain how everything Sheikah related just ups and vanishes in such a short period of time, or where all of the material that went into making all of that stuff went... or where the massive Divine Beasts wandered off to. As for the second reason, I have an idea revolving around the Zonai and felt using the idea in BotW was pushing the boundaries too much.
5772616 Upon thinking about it, there might be a way to utilize BotW in this story... I believe I can utilize my idea of making the displaced into Zonai, who are intelligent and powerful in their own right, to help explain how the Shiekah tech was able to quickly disappear.
Honestly I would read whatever you post cause a lot of your stuff is good,but on to the topic at hand. I let my random thoughts win and thought what if Philomena got changed into a Zonai with the idea you were going for? Random yes but eh it does hurt to shoot a random idea every now and then XD
5782281 That... is definitely a random idea, and I've never considered using Philomena in a story. Still, it is an interesting idea.
