I've thought about this way too much so I think I'll just dump every single intelligent thought I've had in my life here. There's three main ideas that I have regarding this and you could really just pick and choose the ones you agree with most, choose one that makes the most sense, or say that they all happen at the same time. I'm just a rando on the internet. You don't have to pick up what I'm putting down.

Okay, first things first, the most obvious answer is that there's probably just been a whole lot of chaos going on since the Calamity first emerged 100 years before the events of BOTW and far beyond TOTK. The entire kingdom was decimated by the Calamity and most of Hyrule wasn't able to properly rebuild until the end of BOTW when Calamity Ganon's influence was sealed/destroyed. During this time, I'm pretty sure most people either thought Zelda was dead (don't trust me on this, I don't really remember for sure) or knew that she'd sealed herself inside Hyrule Castle but at that point, there isn't much they can do to recover her. Formalizing her title as a queen probably wasn't their priority or even much of a possibility until she returned. And that brings me to my second point.

So not only was it kind of impossible or at least not worth it to change Zelda's title during the Calamity but I also think there would have been bigger priorities after she returned. This is probably the closest to your theory, in which there's just been so much going on between BOTW and TOTK that no one's really been that concerned with Zelda becoming the official queen. In this new post-Calamity Hyrule, it's very likely that people just accept Zelda as some sort of a leader figure regardless of her title not only because she's the last of the living royal bloodline but she also basically saved them all by sealing Ganon. Between that level of respect and the fact that there's so much rebuilding and healing to do across Hyrule, I think it makes sense that everyone's got enough on their plates right now without dealing with authority figure dilemmas.

The last point is probably the most important one to me and it's that Zelda probably doesn't want to be so tied up in royalty and titles anymore. We can see in the flashbacks in BOTW that she clearly grew up her entire life not being given a choice in accepting her predestined fate. This fate essentially had two facets: being the next Princess Zelda in a long, long, long, line of descendants of the goddess, and being able to seal the Calamity Ganon. It isn't too much of a stretch to assume that she sees those two things as very tightly connected traumas. And after sealing Ganon, she's free. She is heavily implied in TOTK to be living as normal of a life as possible in Hateno. For the first time in her life, she has the freedom to be whoever she wants to be and do whatever she wants to do.

So yeah, I'd like to think that Zelda chooses to keep her old title not out of fear of responsibility but simply out of respect for the past and also chooses not to be Hyrule's queen because she knows that Hyrule is different now. She's changed and grown as a character and her role in leading Hyrule has also grown as the people she leads have changed over the 100 years she was stuck in Hyrule Castle. She will forever be 'Princess Zelda' to some people and 'just Zelda' to others and I think it's beautiful that she gets that second choice to live her life the way she wants to live it.

can anyone who knows the lore better tell me why (at least in the botw/totk era) princess zelda is still princess when technically she should be queen since king rhoam's death or does the ascension of royalty in this universe's monarchy different i'm genuinely curious

(i mean, i suppose, the events of botw and then totk might have been the reason why she isn't queen yet)

(also, on a completely different note, tell me why i saw someone on twt say that, and i quote, "link canon wise is christian")

Laryngitis is fun I swear

It seems I have caught my annual cold. Technically it isn’t bad at all but holy shit I hate this so much.

idk if I've done anything interesting except spam basically everything in my for you page but this sounds fun so why not

New ask game:

Reblog if you want your followers to tell you what your trademark ™️ is. Like, what’s that thing that really identifies you.

I can feel the hyperfixation energy building. It’s getting real.

I am so obsessed with this game that I learned its Hylian writing system

I am so sorry to my moots for going down this hyperfixation

SITH! OBI-WAN & ANAKIN SKYWALKER | WHAT IF? STAR WARS BY ME. I always liked the idea of Obi-Wan corrupted by the dark side, so i made this. Star Wars really needs a what if show.

@aaa-batteryy thank you for reminding me that i did indeed put this on the internet. if i ever dox myself please tell me to take down the post.

anyone else get imposter syndrome about having sensory issues? like the thought that goes something like 'oh i can't possibly have sensory issues this is a normal reaction to a bad smell/light/texture/sound' and shit like that? well i have the perfect solution!!!

get a sibling. they'll trigger every possible wrong thing in the world all at once and when you ask them to stop chewing with their mouth open THEY'LL DO IT LOUDER!!! AND YOU'LL GET CALLED TOO SENSITIVE!!!

you'd never guess it but the 'sens' in sensitive is the same as the one in 'sensitive issues'

What do you mean??? Random 30 second sleet attacks in April are so nice!!!

Day 267 - i hate hate hate korean weather so much

Silly Game Time: I am granting you immunity from any and all physical injuries ... *except* in one fatal weak spot like Achilles with his heel. Let's say the weak spot is roughly the size of the smallest coin in your country of residence, and must be struck with enough force to draw blood from an average human being to activate. Simply touching it or even accidentally bonking it isn't enough.

Where would you put yours?

I'm going with the inside of my right ankle because:

shoes

no one is going to be stabbing my ankles (hopefully)

as someone who used to have a metal scooter, if I get hit there I'd rather just get taken out. if a scooter hurts that much then getting stabbed may as well just be my weakness.

Bold of you to assume I haven’t seen this. In fact I think I reblogged this. And then went down a rabbit hole of researching IST before realizing I was probably overreacting to the whole thing lol.

I see your 'Sky has asthma and that's why he can't run', and I raise you: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, and that's why he can't run.

Now, before you run away because you've never even heard of IST, hear me out. (If you don't know the condition, it's a dysautonomic heart condition vaguely similar to POTS, just without the low blood pressure.)

We all know Sky's lived above the clouds with minimal oxygen levels his entire life, as have most of his decedents, so it wouldn't make sense for him to have shitty lungs, right? That's where IST comes in. See, it's not related in the slightest to physical health or upbringing, it's just a non-genetic thing that is due to your sinus being a bit funky. It's also not life threatening, so that takes away from Skyloft needing to have non-canonical advanced medical procedures. IST's main symptom is that it severely decreases your stamina by making your heart race and you become extremely out of breath, often meaning you have to stop and wait for a bit for your heart to calm down.

Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so too.

However, and here's the real seller- unlike asthma, you can just power through and not die. It really, really sucks, but this ability is quite the gamebreaker for me when you think about all of the extreme physical tasks Sky has completed in game, not to mention his swordplay, that if he had exercise induced asthma would've very likely set off an attack. With IST tho, yes it would feel like you were dying, but it is absolutely be possible to just power through your symptoms and have no adverse effects except from your extreme discomfort and fatigue afterwards.

TLDR: Sky has Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia because it fits him so much better than asthma, as someone who has both asthma and IST. And no, this isn't just me projecting my hyper specific heart condition onto one of my favourite characters, what do you mean....

@aaa-batteryy how does it feel knowing I'm mafuyu's height and ur not. FUCK YOU TALL PEOPLE !!!!!
