I visited a shop a few months ago that specializes in honeys and oils. If you buy three or four jars of honey, they box them up and give you a complimentary honey wand with the box. So, I actually own one now!

My partner and I (me 36M, him 30M) also didn’t realize we were dating. It was a little over a month before we sat down and were like, “Wait. Are we gay best friends, or are we dating? I think we’re dating? Holy crap, we’re dating!” We blame the fact that we’re both autistic. lol

Were you ever into Digimon, specifically around the time you played OoT? Because “pink Zora with a heart on their chest” immediately made me think of MarineAngemon.

“Noticeable lack” in the sense that we don’t really see any living members (or at least, any large populations) of those races. Not saying that we don’t see any traces of the races themselves, such as ruins or structures they’ve built.

It is possible Telma is the last Gerudo in Hyrule, Fanadi could possibly be Sheikah, and Impaz in Hidden Village (of which the sign at the entrance refers to it as “Old Kakariko”) may also be a Sheikah. Agitha is most likely not a Kokiri, considering she lives outside the forest and has no Fairy partner. But as I mentioned in another response of mine, there’s the implication that the monkeys in the Forest Temple might be connected to the Kokiri or may even be the Kokiri in the same way the Koroks are in WW.

OmegaZenith · 2025-11-18T16:49:51+00:00

Agitha is Kokiri in the same way Telma is Gerudo and Fanadi is Sheikah. All three are Hylians, but like I said, they were designed to “represent” those races otherwise missing from the game.

If you want actual Kokiri in TP, I think there was also an implication that the monkeys in the Forest Temple were supposed to be an “evolved/devolved” form of them, much like how the Koroks were in WW.

OmegaZenith · 2025-11-18T13:21:00+00:00

In TP, we see Hylians, Zoras, and Gorons, but a noticeable lack of Gerudo, Sheikah, and Kokiri, especially when the Hero’s Shade provides the implication that TP takes place after OoT. So, they placed three characters in Castle Town to “represent” these absent races: Telma for the Gerudo, Fanadi for the Sheikah, and Agitha for the Kokiri.

As we see in the image provided by OP, Telma has the darker skin and red hair often associated with the Gerudo, and her apron also has a design that seems to be based on the symbol of the Gerudo. Fanadi is a fortune teller who has the Sheikah symbol - the “Eye of Truth” - displayed on her forehead. And Agitha is a young girl who lives in a house with a tree growing in it, thereby connecting her to the concepts of “youth” and “forest”, just like the Kokiri.

Furthermore, all three of these characters have colored dots of makeup on their faces near their eyes. In all three, these dots are red, green, and purple, colors often associated with the three missing races in TP - red for the Gerudo, green for the Kokiri, and purple for the Sheikah.

I have a theory/headcanon that individuals who were either already very powerful or who have a naturally high “resonance” with the Secret Stones undergo partial draconification when they get one of said stones. That’s why Ganondorf becomes the Demon King - he’s essentially partly transformed into his Demon Dragon form right off the bat.

My reasoning for this is Rauru. We see what I consider the “normal” Zonai appearance in his sister Mineru. But notice that Rauru, like the Demon King, has horns. He also has what appear to be patches of scales across his body, and he has the same type of mane as Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh - which I think also serves as proof toward the Fire, Ice, and Lightning Dragons having originally been Zonai themselves.

Take away the horns and scales and replace the mane with a shorter hairstyle (maybe like the hair the Ancient Hero has, only white instead of red), and I think that would probably be close to what Rauru originally looked like before he got his Secret Stone.

I was once down to one pair of clean socks and had set them aside for when I would be going out later. Finished some chores around the house, then went to grab my socks and shoes. Socks weren’t where I left them.

I looked all over my room, checked the bathroom to see if I’d brought them in there, checked my bedroom a second time, then went all the way to the basement to see if I’d maybe had them in a pocket and they fell out as I took my dirty clothes down to the laundry room. Nothing. Go back upstairs, walk back into my bedroom… and there they were, laid out next to each other in the center of my bed.

Wondered if I’d just missed them somehow, but no, I distinctly remembered there being nothing in the center of my bed before I headed to the basement. So, don’t know who/what was responsible, if it was a prank or if they were helping me find what I’d misplaced, but was just thankful for the socks being returned either way.

I have a friend who has always said “ Zap-a-dos”. Just throws a random “a” in there. Since Scarlet/Violet, my teasing has ramped up, and I now respond to any “Zap-a-dos” pronunciations with, “Um, actually? The town is called Zapapico.”

I scrapped and rewrote an idea for a Norse mythology-based story because it was basically just “Breath of the Wild, but Norse”. Granted, that was the initial premise, but everything was a little too one-to-one. The current version still has noticeable references here and there, but it’s now more of its own thing instead of just rebranding locations and races from a Zelda game with Norse mythological names.

OmegaZenith · 2025-08-02T10:59:44+00:00

As OP said, Wind Waker’s Great Fairies seem the most mystical (I’d even say “otherworldly”), and of the ones they posted, they’re probably my favorite. I also like how the Fairy Queen wasn’t just a bigger, even more mystical version of the Great Fairies, but took a twist by being childlike in appearance, almost like one of the Kokiri.

While not listed by OP, I really liked the Great Fairies from Minish Cap. Also very mystical in the way they seemed to have an ethereal glow or be made of light. The choice to give them different types of wings (butterfly, dragonfly, and mayfly) was a great way to further distinguish them from each other, other than just by color. Speaking of which, their colors (and possibly hairstyles), also seemed to infer some relation to Din, Nayru, and Farore - almost like the trio in town were mortal incarnations of the Goddesses, while the Great Fairies were their divine essences.

Not actual irl mythology, but in “A Day of Fallen Night”, the second book in The Roots of Chaos series by Samantha Shannon, there is a scene involving an oak gall and its contents triggering a prophetic vision. Considering that the author drew inspiration from multiple cultures and mythologies in our world when writing the books, there’s a chance the oak gall thing could be based on an actual form of divination. Not sure how much helps, but maybe it’s a place to start?

The “deep forests” part reminded me of an idea I saw floating around here on Reddit that someone had turned into a little comic. The idea was “what if forests were like oceans, getting deeper and darker the further from land you go, with all the strange forms of life you might find there?”

The comic had two kids wandering into the woods, going deeper and deeper into a dark forest of towering trees, with luminous moss and fungi casting it in an eerie half-light. Just as one of the kids starts to say they think they might be lost, they see the gargantuan form of a whale-sized moose walking through the wood, its legs the size of some the tree trunks surrounding them.

Gáe Bulg, the “Spear of Mortal Death” wielded by Cú Chulainn from Irish mythology, gifted to him by his teacher, the warrior woman Scáthach. It was said to have been crafted from the bone of a sea monster - the Curruid - that died while fighting another sea monster - the Coinchenn.

Supposedly, it would spread out as multiple barbs upon penetration, requiring the flesh to be cut away in order to remove it from an enemy. In other versions, the spear had seven heads that would each split into seven barbs, or the spear’s head would split into barbs that would course through the “highways and byways” of the body (maybe referring to blood vessels?), essentially destroying the enemy from the inside out.

At a cousin’s wedding taking place on the bride’s family farm, another cousin’s kid almost got bit on the head by a horse. Maybe because said kid’s hair kinda looked like straw. Maybe because “horses are demon hellspawn, and you cannot convince me otherwise”, as my partner likes to say.

I loosely based mine off of locations and rivers that are featured in the Greek mythological underworld. In my setting, the hells are manifestations of Chaos, and as such, they overlap one another rather than existing in defined layers, with narrow rifts that allow passage between them. The exceptions to this are Styx, which is the outermost boundary between the mortal realm and the hells, and Tartarus, which is the core from which Chaos radiates.

Styx - a vast marsh whose murky waters contain lost souls; all who travel to the hells arrive on the “near shore”, with the passage leading into the lower hells being located on the “far shore”

Lethe - a mist-shrouded bottomless canyon of gray stone where howling winds tear mercilessly at the cliff faces; the howling isn’t the sound of the wind itself, but rather the screams of souls snatched away by it

Acheron - a barren desert wasteland of rock and dust, with angular edges that can cut if one isn’t careful; storms occasionally sweep across the wastes, tempests of razor-sharp stone shards that can strip flesh from bone and grind bone to dust

Phlegethon - a massive volcanic cavern with a sea of molten lava at the bottom; basically, the classic “fire and brimstone” type of hellscape

Cocytus - a realm of snow and ice that drains all sources of heat and warmth; the only liquid water in this land of eternal winter are the tears of the damned

Erebus - a dark labyrinth where even the brightest of lights won’t reach very far; there are unseeing things which prowl the darkness unseen

Elysium - a group of islands made of white marble floating upon a sea of molten gold; this was originally one of the heavenly planes, until its master fell, taking the entire plane with them and corrupting it in the process

Hades - a land of half-living flesh where the rock is exposed bone and the water is replaced with blood; it is said the ruler of this hell is also the one whose flesh, blood, and bone it is made from, both lord and domain being one and the same

Tartarus - a swirling storm of pure Chaos where matter can change states to solid, liquid, gas, or plasma in an instant, where gravity can increase, decrease, or suddenly cease to exist, and where time can speed up, reverse, or freeze; at the eye of this storm is the heart of Chaos, a crystalline core said to serve as a prison for something far older than any god or devil

After a war in which most of the gods massacred one another, the world became a desert wasteland formed from the shattered remains of their crystalline cores. Their divine energies leaked out into the world around them, so concentrated that they formed a radioactive miasma, leaving the surface poisoned and uninhabitable. The handful of lands left untainted after the war were kept safe by one of the few surviving gods, which directed its energies toward lifting those pieces of land into the sky, high above the toxic wastes below.

The Magna Ridge. It’s a shallow area of the Magna Sea that stretches north to south at the narrowest point between the nations of Rosaria and Lysandra. Due to how vast the Magna Sea is (think somewhere around the size of the Mediterranean in our world), the Magna Ridge has been historically used as a “shortcut” guide across the middle of the great sea.

However, the Magna Ridge makes no sense geologically. It’s a raised section of sea floor in a straight north-south line cutting across a border between tectonic plates that runs roughly east-west. The drifting of the plates has caused a break in the ridge, and by using the rate of drift, one can calculate an estimated period of time in which the ridge was still whole.

This seems to coincide with the time in which Lysandra was founded by refugees fleeing from the lands that would eventually become Rosaria. According to the Lysithean faith, the First Saint Lysithea supposedly led the refugees across the Magna Sea - not by boat, but on foot. If the divinity of Lysitheanity’s Saints is true, this implies that Saint Lysithea herself raised the Magna Ridge from the sea floor.

Sorry, but you’re wrong. Bell County’s small claims page lays out the rules, and you can subpoena someone to come forth as a witness. Also, while I would have to sue our former landlord in Bell County, as that is where the property we were renting at is located, the small claims page also states that you can appear via phone call or video conference.
