Hyrule warriors Link redesign and this is the first one with which I’ve broken my goal with sticking to the aesthetic and style of the game cuz what even is the armour/clothing style of hw. To be honest he should have a magical anime girl outfit like Zelda and Lana but yknow. Decided to go for a fruity medieval fairy tale knight type get up that is dumb but still mostly functional. He could have a chest plate and gauntlets but he is cocky and doesn’t care
The absolute wildest post-BotW take I’ve ever seen is that Link would spend some time systematically exterminating the bokoblins
And this isn’t a one-off opinion! I’ve seen multiple fics and posts saying that Link should start the bokoblin genocide, and this is always depicted as the correct and even logical choice
Which is wild, because the bokoblins - and even the moblins and lizalfos, I’d argue - don’t deserve this kind of retribution in any way. This isn’t some gritty fantasy universe where they’re razing villages to the ground and eating children or whatever, they’re highway bandits who aren’t very good at it
We see in the game that at worst they knock travelling merchants unconscious, steal their shit, and leave. The only reason they’re a problem in BotW is that their Ganon-brand immortality gives them the ability to live out their wildest Jackass fantasies and spread themselves out over a wider space of operations
As soon as the bokoblins realize that they’re no longer immortal, they’ll go out of their way to show how much of a problem they aren’t. They tidy streets. They clean up after themselves. They try to look as sweet and innocent as possible, because we’re all friends under the eyes of the goddess, right? We maybe, possibly, might have gotten, in some respects, a little bit carried away, but nothing bad’s going to happen to us, right? Right? Um. Right?
(In a few weeks they sign a treaty with Zelda, promising amnesty for any and all actions taken during the century of calamity in exchange for their aid in restoring the ruins. This is unanimously considered better than the alternative)
