pretty much the same level of bleakness as the first fallout game. I really wonder how link would still play the role of "Hero" in such a brutal and bleak Dog-eat-Dog Hyrule where everyone sees him more as their next meal than a Hero of any sort. It's gonna be harder to regain those memories in...

I'm sort of fascinated by a version of BotW with an even more extreme, severe and destructive Calamity. Where the Calamity is a true and total Calamity and does produce a true post apocalyptic environment. Like link waking up to see a calamity ravaged hyrule where: - Hateno fell and nearly the...

So what if there was a future title with a faction system similar to the one featured in the later Fallout games? Like having something where multiple factions exist in whatever setting a future game takes place in, whether it be Hyrule or someplace else. They'd either be in a state of active...

though astronomy was still a thing in our own world's ancient and medieval cultures though, so there'd still be people in Hyrule who would study astronomy, even in ancient times. There's nothing stopping them from looking up at the night sky and studying it and even speculating on whether there...

you know know that there are fantasy settings that have explored a space setting without all the science fiction and high technology. Someone did bring up the Spelljammer D&D Campaign. It explored a space setting without deviating from the medieval fantasy aspect of the D&D universe.

and it's not like astronomy didn't exist in ancient cultures and in fantasy settings. There shouldn't be anything stopping people from looking at the stars, study and map them. to prove this point, here is the Nebra sky disc which dates back to between 1800–1600 BC, in the early bronze age...

and in that format, i'd imagine the game being similar to Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass but with planets replacing the islands and the ship travelling in 3d space instead of on a 2d plane such as an ocean.

i mentioned something in a possible plot for such a game of an extraterrestrial character landing their ship on the planet hyrule is on and then later on offering link to fly it and embark on their journey. I find this more reasonable than the thought of a medieval civilization tryinf to build a...

and then it would become similar to wind waker/phantom hourglass but with planets replacing islands.

this idea of seeing the mechanisms of the universe would probably be quite interesting. like there was more to the creation myth of hyrule and the realm before it's creation.

definitely... And since my execution of this idea uses early Astronomy as the portrayal of space, i have the idea of references to mechanisms such as Orreries and planetariums. Like when one gets far enough away from a star system, they start to see faint and ethereal mechanisms under and...

though what do you think of this sort of execution of the concept? Having the depiction of space in this premise be based on now disproven and strange concepts and theories from the early years of astronomy of how they thought space and the universe looked and worked instead of a realistic...

this is for a game in its own continuity not BoTW's

I know that this has been discussed into oblivion and that there was satirical "concept art" made by Nintendo that mocked the idea, though here's my idea of how this premise would or rather should be presented without totally ditching the medieval fantasy aspects of the series: Having the...

though imagine that thing lurking in the darkness of some forest and stalking and then committing vehicular homicide on people who trespass into it's territory.

it's boss battle would be interesting. It can travel at speeds that could outrun even the fastest of horses and it would take more than just plunging a sword into the engine to defeat it and possibly involve more destructive weapons such as bombs to defeat it. Like it's strategy is constantly...

Something unusual and unconventional. Something that to the medieval minded Hyruleans is completely foreign and completely alien to them: Nothing big, monstrous and over-the-top, just C A R R. How would you justify a Demon taking that form in Hyrule's Medieval setting?

They do drink lava in the Oracle games. I do wonder what use the Gerudo would have for oil if they were to find them in their province Petroleum and Crude Oil are interchangeable names.

now this is giving me the idea of Gasoline in Hyrule being essentially Goron piss produced as a side effect from drinking the oil.

The context here being that the Gorons accidentally uncover petroleum wells beneath the Eldin Province and out of curiosity, some of them drink the oil to know what it tastes like. We all know that the Gorons can eat rocks and drink lava, but what effects would drinking petroleum/crude oil have...

so much for being the holder of the triforce of wisdom

Like how bad would things have gotten for Hyrule had Link and Zelda actually had been killed in the Calamity instead of being put in a century of suspended animation? If the hero was killed and the bloodline of Goddess wiped out for good?

I'd say so. and heavily implied to be some kind of hazmat suit.

though how about the idea of technology existing in zelda that's based on our technology and not based on any magitech? seeing actual firearms and fossil fuel powered vehicles and in the setting

A Zelda game who's plot, backstory and lore are based on the Ralph Bakshi animated movie, Wizards (1977). This was by the same guy who made the animated Lord of the Rings movie. The premise here being a Future Earth High Fantasy setting spawned from a purely manmade cataclysm such as a...

The point in time where Demise almost won his side of the curse. In his/ganon's mind, believing he had killed the Royal Family and ended the divine lineage, killed hero and any hope of salvation left and nearly succeed completely destroying hyrule and rendering it an uninhabitable wasteland...

i like to think the only side effect, depending on how much they've ingested, is them glowing in the dark and becoming a walking light source in their mining operations.

so would more extreme procedures such as amputation and surgeries exist?

what about amputations and surgeries?

Given Hyrule's medieval setting, what do you think medicine in the kingdom must be like? Would it have been similar to medicine in the real world middle ages? you know, with all the medical procedures considered fatal and unsafe by modern standards? what are your ideas of what medicine in Hyule...

also imagine a "Concrete Talus" A Stone Talus made from blobs of concrete with rusted I-beams and rebar erupting from it's body.

The setting here is a universe where Hyrule was created in the aftermath of a nuclear war instead of by the goddesses. Something similar to the origins of Adventure Time's land of Ooo. And I mean a nuclear war on this very Earth, not in a completely fictional world. My preferred flashpoint for...

or as a worldbuilding exercise

It is Hyrule, but it's more akin to the Land of Ooo. A Fantasy setting created in the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse.

i also had this concept in mind for this setting where only the Royal Family and a select group of Sheikah and Hylian scholars are the only ones who know about the old world. Other "elder" characters such as the great deku tree being unreliable narrators to the true origins of the world as they...

for my own take, it's set on IRL Earth, and try to guess what Cold War Flashpoint set off this AU.

As in a Version of Hyrule that was created in the aftermath of a nuclear war, not to dissimilar to the origin of the Land of Ooo from the "Adventure Time" cartoon series? For me, I already got the thing figured out: The dull greyish green denotes the nuclear wasteland... There never was any...

Which of the following nuclear detonations would Hyrule have the highest chance of surviving? And compared with the OG calamity, would a calamity of this nature be worse than it? Which explosion size would be worse than the Calamity?

The aforementioned song being "We'll Meet Again.", as sung by Vera Lynn. "Maybe", by the Ink Spots: So how would this song fit into the plot of a Zelda game? What sort of context and what part would you see this fitting in said plot?

I wish Nintendo showed us post apocalyptic settings as the hopeless, cynical and bleak environments that they really are. There is no simple "moving on" in a post apocalypse where basic resources would be scarce. how can anyone "move on" after losing everything in said apocalypse and while in an...

Bleaker as in far more pessimistic, dreary and dark. Like something more similar to the first Fallout's New California. Link, a person from a time where good and evil are distinctly defined in black and white morality waking up to a brutal morally ambiguous and in some places, a morally bankrupt...

It'd be less Breath of the Wild and more like the first Fallout game in terms of the bleak, dark and dreary setting. A person from a time where good and evil are distinctly defined in black and white morality waking up to a brutal morally ambiguous and in some places bankrupt world were people...

and so compared with the great calamity, how bad is the situation compared with that cataclysm?

The detonation in this thread is a surface detonation and the yield for the detonation for this scenario is about 10 Kilotons. Enough to only affect Central Hyrule and destroy the settlements and monuments there. The question presented here is how long it would take for both civilization and...

A calamity that's less Crapshoot AI possessed by a Demon King and something more, sudden. Something more instantaneous. Something more, nuclear... Demon King? More like Demon Core. The devastation inflicted upon Hyrule would vary based on differing yields, but for this scenario, the yield is...

An extreme form of nostalgia that the Fallout video game series terms as "Old World Blues". That being, "a form of depression and anxiety, manifesting as an unhealthy obsession with the Old World. The Blues causes the affected person to distance themselves from the world around them, withdraw...

A phenomena that does happen in other examples of post apocalyptic fiction: The territories of the nation(s) destroyed in the apocalypse breaking up into smaller factions and warring against each other, usually as a bid to fight for and fill a power vacuum left behind after the demise of the pre...

The idea here being an extremely hazardous location based on proposals for long term nuclear/toxic waste warning signs for civilizations and generations in the far future. Landmarks based on proposals such as... As the cherry on top, on the heart of this location would be this warning...

Replacing the soundtrack of the Fallout games. The Interplay era, the Bethesda era and the TV show. Transplanting music from one Post-apocalyptic game to another post-apocalyptic game. What would mood and feel of Hyrule be like with Fallout's ambient soundtrack making up the game's ambient...
