I love how this AU shows Zelda's nerdy side. It was clear throughout the story of botw that she's really smart, and at the front of ancient tech research. It's awesome to see that reflected here.

Not just a science nerd, but also something of an archaeologist and historian as well, since most of the tech she was dealing with had to be unearthed.

[@brycebitetti1402]

@@Stolanis Honestly, it's part of why she's my favorite of every Zelda incarnation by far. Just the simple additions of some actual inner conflict and a personality trait outside of "princess," really endeared me to the character. Her being a kind of scholar is a really fresh interpretation of her wielding the Triforce of Wisdom. She isn't a typical princess, but not in the cliche Disney, "I'm bored of my pampered lifestyle," way, just in that she has a much wider range of interests that humanize her.

Also, in WindWaker (and maybe even more games) there’s a house where you can break someone’s vases, but they yell at you to pay it back when you try to leave. I know it’s a different Link from a different timeline (kinda, I think all the timelines merge together into BOTW) but still would be a great reference.

@@polgora It's more the violent overreaction to something that you've said/they said. Thinking about all the different possibilities, assuming the most likely possibility is the most negative one and then just spiraling into a downward arc of panic.

[@aidanhammans9337]

Wait hang on, I get it! Revali is the archery coach, Mipha the swimming teacher and… I don’t know what Urbosa would teach. Other unseen people: Yunobo is too shy for sports but too clumsy for science, he’s somewhere else, and Riju is either too young or just somewhere else. Kilton (because yes) is essentially the male form of Agitha from Twilight Princess in this universe, due to a lack of curses and monsters.

As a Gerudo, I could see Urbosa teaching swords or Home Economics class. I'm pretty sure that's how they teach Gerudo ladies to score guys in BotW
