the zelda that you know

Bruh i died doing this lmao

And maybe I’m just a sucker for royal palace aesthetics and stuff, but whos to say it can’t be both? Zelda may like to travel and meet her people, while still living in her big castle (which is too pretty to be abandoned). Like, Hyrule Castle isn’t just some brick walls and flags... it’s the literal heart and soul of Hylian culture and civilization. Hyrule is way too important to Zelda for her to just leave everything behind, especially since she’s the only heir to the throne. And she can also still take part in studying technology even when she’s a princess. We know that the only reason she couldn’t was because she had to focus on her training, but now that she has her magic she can focus on better things. She most likely wasn’t depressed and being shown off to old men, or mad about going to “boring” meetings with her father. If she ever rules over the kingdom, I’m 101% guaranteed that she will spark a massive revolution in terms of culture, education, technology, etc. She can be a badass Queen and still rule the nation. And I am also still obsessed with palace zelink. I believe it is superior to any other dynamic, and no one can prove me wrong.

i am once again thinking about the fact that age of calamity lets you drink (virgin) noble pursuits before battle for a stat boost
