#botw ask

But how do you think the other three champions would act if they had a younger sibling?

Good question @wyrms-tale!!

I imagine Daruk to be the overly protective/doting older brother. He is already protective over his city, so not only is he protective but he will be proud of his younger sibling and he'll be their biggest fan, cheering them on and helping them get stronger. If they're sad or anything you can def count on Daruk to cheer them up. If they're in trouble he'll be running to help them asap. they would also spend lots of time rolling around the mountains and laughing when they collide and fall over.

Urbosa is the totally awesome older sis who is the kind to want to be a good role model for you, full of sass and generally you don't want to mess with her I mean she can step on you like a bug ok so I imagine she'd be the kind of older sibling who you would have a really fun time with. She's confident, got your back, strong and just really empowering. She would want her younger sibling to fight alongside her. I think they'd be really close and she would want them to become even stronger than she is and to prove their worth.

BWAHAHAHAH!! I’m sorry, but I can easily see how both of these lovable dorks just make the situation worse.

Revali:

Lol, I see Revali with two types of friends: The sharp tongued ones, and the admirers

You had a hard time with one of the admirers

Revali assures you that they were only a friend

But, did they have to cling onto his wings like that?

Being a Champion, it was normal for people to admire your Rito, so this type of thing shouldn't bother you

However, Revali seemed to especially revel in his friends flattery

Sure you were proud of him, but you knew better than to over-feed his ego

(His head was big enough as it is)

But watching him take pleasure in his friends praising, doubts began seeping into your thoughts. 

Does Revali prefer that kind of behaviour? Perhaps, he wasn’t satisfied with your support as a partner?

(Oh hello insecurities, where’d you come from?)

 For the next two weeks, you shower your boyfriend in endless praise, even playing up your reactions to his boasting achievements

You’re acting sweeter than a Disney Christmas special

And it was really freaking Revali out

(Yeah, looks like your plan backfired)

He has no clue what caused your sudden change, but doesn’t like it

He wants a refund

Eventually, you’re confronted about your 180* turn in demeanour 

But it wasn’t by Revali

It was his friend

They noticed the tension whenever the three of you were together, and Revali isn’t friends with an idiot

They connect the dots pretty quick, and decided to step in before things got out of hand 

(’steal yo man’ cliché dodge)

They quickly explain that their friendship with Revali took on a more ‘student and mentor’ dynamic. No romantic feelings from either side

Plus, while they certainly idolized him, they’d rather be slow roasted over a fire then date him

(Honestly? They want to give you a medal for handling with his more.....challenging moments)

However, they do insist that you talk about this with Revali

(PSA: Communication is key for any relationship)

After enduring one his smug speeches (Well, I can hardly fault you for your envy Y/N. After all, I AM quite the catch.) He does what he can to help quell your worries

Makes more time for you between training, spontaneous dinners and your personal favourite, impromptu cuddling 

You and his friend even wind up becoming besties

They have a lot of tea on your boyfriend >:)

Sidon

Oh sweet baby fishcakes

This guy is like a giant teddy bear with scales

(and abs *swoon*)

Combined with his naturally friendly personality, who could resist loving this Zora prince? (Not you, obviously)

So why did it bug you so much to see him around his childhood friend?

Maybe it was the knowledge that they’ve been together since hatchlings, or that you would always find them being physically affectionate (by that I just mean they hugged or held hands, tame stuff)

They were also stunning, with an athletes physique and scales that practically shined under the sun

A nasty voice in your head noted how they would look good with Sidon

(Shut up brain, no one asked you)

The two of them were also swimming buddies

Now, Sidon was undoubtedly loyalty to you

Shark babe would go live in the desert before he’d even think about being unfaithful

(Please don't ever let him try though, poor baby needs his water)

But that doesn't stop your worries, that his friend might be looking for more than friendship  

Oh Hylia, what if they went swimming, when they actually wanted to go ~swimming~

(Congrats, you’ve officially belly flopped into the river of paranoia)

One great thing about Sidon, is his sensitivity.

It gives him a knack for sensing others emotions

,As his s/o, this goes double for you. So it doesn’t take long for him to pick up your unease

(He could give Revali some lessons)

He sits you down somewhere private and softly. inquires about what’s troubling you

Try to deny those puppy shark eyes of his, I dare you

All of the fish cuddles after you tell him

“Oh my darling, you have nothing to worry” He wraps you into an embrace. “They are merely a friend, we see each other as siblings”

You figured as much, but hearing him say so out loud finally put you at ease

“Besides,” He caresses your cheek in his palm “not even an angel could tear my eyes from the Goddess in front of me.”

(Pft. Wow Sidon that was so cheesy)

(No wait, that doesn't mean I wantyoutostopcomeBACK-)

After some shark cuddles, Sidon decides to let you in on a little secret regarding his friend

 It turns out their affections were already reserved for a certain Goron

Looks like Yunobo has a secret admirer

10. Favourite main quest?

probably captured memories, the one where you have to go and find all the memories from the pictures. that one is good and the first time i went out of my way to find all the memories i found it was immensely worth it 

11. Favourite side quest?

so i just answered this one BUT i will give you my second favorite! probably hylian homeowner. just bc link gets to have his own house and honestly it is what he deserves. also theres a picture he can hang up on his wall and it makes me cry thinking about his little smile when he hangs it up

12. Least favourite side quest?

this one was hard. i’d have to say maybe the weapon connoisseur? i dont necessarily hate it, it’s more like it was tedious bc every time i found a weapon the kid wanted to see, i would forget and i wouldnt go back to hateno village (where the kid lived) until the weapon already broke. or like it would just be taking up a space in my inventory and every time i wanted a new weapon i had to carefully consider which weapon i wanted to drop.

(for context the sidequest is basically this kid who wants to see a couple different weapons and if you show them to him then you get rupees. like its not a bad sidequest and seeing the kid happy is worth it, it’s just a little tedious)

9. Favourite Champion ability?

well they all have their uses for sure but i think my fav would have to be revali’s gale. i love exploring and just going places i should probably not be going so an ability that lets you just fly up high? very good. also when i was learning how to windbomb i found it easier if i was already in the air so i would use revali’s gale for that. it’s good ability

11. Favourite side quest?

i LOVE the from the ground up sidequest. the thing is, i didnt even know it existed for the LONGEST time until i started hunting for sidequests like 200 hours into the game (which means i also didn’t know about the hylian homeowner sidequest) and like. i wondered for the longest time what the little bit of land in akkala with the lonely goddess statue was supposed to be. but then i knew. and i was so happy

18. Favourite monster(s)?

like...to fight?? bc personally i really like fighting lynels idk the challenge is good. but other than that i think i like chuchus bc they can be so small or they can be very big and like either way they’re just little guys....they are not fooled by majora’s mask, they will pop out of the ground and try to attack me anyways

19. Who’s your favourite Champion?

this one is HARD you cant make me choose....

although if i had to it would probably be mipha. or maybe revali. well, now that i’ve said that im thinking about how much i like urbosa and daruk too. daruk is just like “mm...rock tasty...i will help save hyrule i guess” which is admirable. i could go over the others too but we would be here for hours 

Lol I am assuming you meant botw not vote.

That lynel is a right bastard to try and defeat. As I'm sure you have realised Anon, they are the toughest monsters in the game. Tougher even then final boss Gannon if I'm being honest.

My advice on how to get the twenty shock arrows? You don't have to fight the Lynel. Nowhere in the mission objective does it say that beating that monster is a requirement for completing the objective. All you need is twenty shock arrows in your inventory. There should be a bunch scattered around the area where the red lynel is, but (and this is if you have the in game $ for it) you can buy them too. The game does not care.

If you are dead set on beating the Lynel, first thing you want to do is upgrade the stasis rune (3 ancient cores and one trip to Pura), that will allow you to freeze the monster and get in some hits/run away. Second, you will want to get good at your flurry rushes.

I recommend having a handful of fairys in your inventory as well as a shit ton of heart replenishing foods. My go to is the hearty meat and rice balls (hylian rice + hearty radish + raw meat) which will completely replenish your hearts and give you a few extra. You will also want to pack some high powered weapons.
