Huh. Maybe I should properly respond to reviews? I've kind of responded to some of them. SkyCladHero, guests, James Birdsong, FCL, and Ri2 have been excellent.
-The original concept was much different and things really changed as I threw stuff in or left things out that didn't work in my head or that I didn't think I could pull off. I kind of sketched out the first fewchapters then decided, "Eh, Ravio can be the placeholder for the hero." The prophecy I had for Groose was kind of a typo that I kept. My original intention for this story for the first write before prophecy typo really was to have Groose and co. traverse Hyrule, getting into trouble, then have the real Link show up last chapter, kill Ganon, and leave when they weren't looking.
-Originally I planned to have what Linkle said about being mistaken for Ganon be foreshadowing for Ravio. Him getting captured by the Yiga clan for a ritual awakening with all the embarrassing confusion that would ensue when the ritual worked seemed promising. Having them awaken the Hero seemed like a good idea for further embarrassing mistakes but I couldn't make it work in my head. It just didn't. He didn't get time-slowing but he's got a magic meter.
-It wasn't going to be Veran but a member of the Royal Family that would be the antagonist. Trying to restore the power of the monarchy was a good motivation for Hilda when you've got demon lords coming back to attack again in another hundred years. Having Groose oppose her with the help of a wimpy Yiga soldier seemed interesting. I went with the sillier, less serious story where Like-Likes plague the land. Veran was chosen because why not. Who better to oppose the wonderful pompadour than the fashion disaster?
-Much of the details are things that seem to make sense after Breath of the Wild. Prince Sidon's fan club would only grow as more people were able to travel and meet the guy. The Yiga Clan seem petty and jealous enough to really make fun of the smile.
-You can't tell me that the Divine Beasts wouldn't be used for all sorts of fun.
-I still feel bad for being mean to Linkle. Frankly having a hero with the Master Sword and Triforce fueled lightning would be pretty cool. Terrible stuff was going to happen but she needed something fun to ruin evil's day and the pompadour needed to survive. Hence the fairy.
-Fated romances written by me might end up being a travesty on par with certain vampire novels so romance is something I've been avoiding adding. It just seemed funny at the time to have Zelda's actions have terrible consequences several millennia later for hero/princess relations.
-I think I'll call it a day on the chapters. I know there was a huge typo in a chapter but when I went back to correct it, I couldn't remember where it was. If it looks like a plot hole or mistype, it probably is.
