Player: Kri and Jen Character: Link and Zelda Idea: Legend of Zelda: Tears of Songerein, or, “that’s one hell of a canon update”
With the new game coming out in May, Link and Zelda are going to have a big sleepy canon update. Here’s the thing: since Zelda’s real body is currently occupied by maintaining the seal on Calamity Ganon, her dream self is a bit destabilized; between that and the huge surge of dreamotion energy that comes from both of them dreaming this at the same time, some of the nightmare energy generated by the dream begins acting the same way malice does in BotW, allowing for a lot of wild effects: areas changing, monsters appearing, things like that. We were thinking about some of this (namely, Hyrule as it is in Breath of the Wild, to keep it free of new game spoilers) happening as a partial dream shift. Meaning that Hyrule is coming for Reverein.
Over the course of maybe 2-3 weeks, little pockets of Reverein begin to shift into Hyrule. These aren’t permanent, coming and going in ways that players can use to improvise fun stuff happening. So, as an example, sometimes bits of the Wildlands will turn into the Lost Woods, and sometimes they won’t — this means people who don’t want to participate can avoid the event. This will start out small, but by the end of the 2ish-week period, these strange dreamshifts will be much more noticeable. This can (and hopefully will) include some monster appearances for people who want a fighting option! (No giant bosses, just little guys like bokoblins or those asshole octoroks or w/e)
How does it end? By finding and “waking” Link and Zelda through accomplishing a specific task (finding an object, sealing something — yet to be determined). But here’s the catch: that nightmare energy has taken on some characteristics of Calamity Ganon, creating blight versions of each of them to keep Link and Zelda from waking, and keep the dream going. So there will be a bit of a boss fight element to this, too.
Date: End of June/beginning of July Questions: DID ANY OF THAT MAKE SENSE. I hope it made sense.
