"Oh man you know what we should do, Rob?"
"What should we do, Boss?"
"We should start off in a very confusing manner, leaving set chapters for info dumps that at least half of the reader base will have to go through!"
"Oh jeez Boss, doesn't that seem a little much?"
"Nonsense! Besides, I don't pay you to disagree with me now do I? Now get those files sorted!"
Not really exposition more-so just what the chapter's title entails to. Which I guess could technically be considered exposition.
So if you haven't been reading my Author's Notes which, let's be real here, I'm sure some of you haven't, I would like to explain things I already have in them, so bear with me. I'll be listing them out, sort of. Feel free to skip over this chapter if you don't feel like reading it by the way. It's nothing really big, just something I need to get off my chest, ramblings from a madman if you would.
Miss Kei's weird name is an anagram of Sheikah. I will be adding more intricate history to the mix as to explain why Link was easily able to find a Hyrulian straight off the bat.
The Genres this story is filed under are Humor and Adventure, so they will be filled with Humor and Adventures respectively. Romance will be sub-plot or for amusing situations for both genders, of course.
Why is Yang swooning over Link? It's funny and ironic as hell for her character, Link just happens to be the perfect catalyst for it. It was something that came up along the writing process so I went with it. She's 14, character development and puberty still settling in for her so she isn't 100% like what she is in the web show/anime/cartoon, but I tried to make it work, sorry.
I'll be adding select elements from the Zelda universe as a whole, something subtle and nothing like Midna popping up out of nowhere and turning the Hero of winds into a giant Wild-Cat to ride on, as funny as that would be. It's more like seeing Beedle's ship-shop-ship as an international and multi-million lien dust producer (I'm kidding, I'm kidding).
Time-Skip to Beacon Academy? No.
Link's 13.
Alright, now we have that out of the way, let's move onto some things that might confuse you, the reader, if you happen to be well-versed in the Zelda lore for whatever reason you might have, or just might be plain confused about everything in general. To start, Kei really shouldn't be able to communicate with Link in any given manner. Is what I would've said if I didn't fact check to make sure I knew I was talking about, and long story short a tirade of me rambling about legends and timelines of the complicates of the Shiekah tribe was deleted and they will be explained in the future chapters, go figure.
Yes, I do research I'll have you know. I've been doing a bit of a playthrough and look through of the Wind Waker and Zelda lore, along with getting down to the nitty-gritties of the RWBYverse. The things I do to be accurate, ugh.
Let's see here... why was Ganondorf's beast form from Twilight Princess shown in the fight, along with The Imprisoned (the big black blobby thing that was creepy as all hell in Skyward Sword, search it up)? The Imprisoned is easy to explain, as the Link in Skyward Sword was technically the first "Link" ever, specifically the first reincarnation of Link ever, and the Imprisoned was Demise's beast form of sorts, Demise being the base incarnation of Ganondorf. Yada yada, they were basically the first setting for the whole Triforce battle shtick, so that's nothing new.
Ganon from Twilight Princess? Ehhh, Omnipotent Triforce is Omnipotent? That's really the only explanation for this in all honesty, so yeah. If you don't know what I'm referring to, I'm basically saying that despite Twilight Princess being set after Wind Waker (if ya didn't know), the Triforce is still a Godly Force able to grant Wishes and all that shiz, so it being able to transcend space-and-time is not that farfetched, especially in the Zeldaverse.
The Fight with the Alpha-Beast-Grimm-Wolfos. Lemme break it down if you didn't completely understand it as I only put subtle words you might've missed and are now confused. Basically, the Beast could absorb Aura. It drained Yang's Aura and that's how despite hits only making her stronger and deadlier in a fight, she got taken out so quickly. Also explains how Taiyang fell so quickly as well.
Considering how Taiyang's Aura was very potent in the fight, lashing out and taking form in certain ways, it was easier for it to drain him and try to infuse it with the scatterings of power from the Triforce of Power. However, it was mentioned that the two energies were really never meant to meet, big line there, keep note of it. So when two energies that were never meant to meet were suddenly forced to clash and coalesce, a multitude of things could happen.
It just so happened that a giant flaming pillar of pure power was one of the things that could happen.
So the Aura and otherworldly Power gathered into one vessel, taking pleasure of their supposed union. It was then the cracks appeared and the damage started showing that it had to react in very differing ways to fix the damage, so they clashed. It grew Highly unstable for the beast, weakening it into a way for it to be unwieldy, hence why it seemed like the Wolfos was weaker than it was in the fight with Taiyang. What good is power if it didn't do anything you wanted it to and acted of it's own accord?
It was also weakened slightly by the visions of the Triforce of Courage, lashing out like a cornered animal about to be killed.
That moves onto my next topic, the Triforce of Courage itself. Can't really explain much without spoiling everything ahead of time, but I will say that even though Link still has the Triforce piece despite the Goddesses saying "Find the lost Courage", that there is a reason why it's mentioned as lost. One I still have to figure out (sorry not sorry).
The whole process is still new to me so I do actually apologize for any short-comings and all that.
Next, Ruby saying Link's her first friend, even though she said she has a group of friends back in Signal, she said this in the starting episodes, that she seems to have forgotten about in the series altogether. Easy, it's entirely possible for Link to legitimately be Ruby's first friend and he can help her make more, with some help from her sister of course.
Uhh, oh, Zwei! Right, distinct lack of a certain furry friend of ours but if you read Chapter 9 through to the end, I think that'd be an explanation. It fits though, as to how Zwei has surprising combat prowess and not to mention intelligence and Aura.
Why did the Dust fuse with the Beowolf if it had no Aura? Well Dust is stated as a naturally occurring energy propellant for the elements, being able to be activated with Aura, a base embodiment of one's soul. The Triforce, as mentioned before, is a Godly... thing, with the third that embodies the concept of Power itself being the most potent. If Aura activates Dust, what in the hell would something like the Triforce do to it?
I would really love to get into Dust theory (wow so geeky), but there's almost no info on it whatsoever, going off a lot by the World of Remnant series and part of what Weiss says about it, with some digging around as well. Feel free to correct me on this in the future or now or whatever.
I can only hope that fills the weird plot holes that I have for now as I try to amend the fact that I really don't have a plot. See ya.
Oh shoot! I forgot about Taiyang's Semblance! Basically, it's just some headcanon that sprouted from where exactly Yang got her eye color and how her Semblance is sort of affected genetically through her Dad.
Okay, bye-bye now.
