    What would a Zelda game based around the following premise be like?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild would you view the Calamity as this?

    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...

    What would Nuclear Gorons be like?

    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.

    Medicine in Hyrule.

    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.

    Post-Atomic Hyrule, worldbuilding exercise.

    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...

    So what would a post-atomic Hyrule be like?

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

    So what would a post-atomic Hyrule be like?

    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...

    So what would a post-atomic Hyrule be like?

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

    So what would a post-atomic Hyrule be like?

    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...

    If one were to insert these songs into a Zelda game, what scenario or would you imagine this fitting in?

    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?

    Breath of the Wild What would a bleaker Breath of the Wild have been like?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild What would a bleaker Breath of the Wild have been like?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild How long would it take for Hyrule to recover if the Calamity was of this nature?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild How long would it take for Hyrule to recover if the Calamity was of this nature?

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

    Breath of the Wild How long would it take for Hyrule to recover if the Calamity was of this nature?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild How long would it take for Hyrule to recover if the Calamity was of this nature?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild Has this sort of psychological phenomenon been observed in "Breath of the Wild"?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild How come this phenomena didn't happen in the immediate aftermath of the Calamity?

    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...

    location concept: The Dark Monument

    Breath of the Wild What Would Breath of the Wild's mood and atmosphere be like if the soundtrack was swapped with this soundtrack instead?

    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...

    Breath of the Wild What would Link and Zelda's stats be if assessed through Fallout's S.P.E.C.I.A.L ruleset?

    Hyrule, If placed in North America (WIP)

    It's a WIP because i don't know what parts of the Continent would be geographically similar to the last 2 provinces as seen in Breath of the Wild as well as what places are similar to Holodrum and Labrynna's geography. I got the majority figured out but im stuck with the last 4 items.

    If Hyrule and the lands around it from any games were placed onto North America, what parts of the continent would be similar to those regions?

    Ok. I've started making a map based on this ideas and I got the placement of some of the regions in place, but I don't know where to place these last 4 regions since i don't really know what parts of the continent are geographically similar to them...

    What would Nuclear Gorons be like?

    The point here being the idea of Gorons who have ingested radioactive minerals such as Uranium during their mining operations. What effects would ingesting this element have on a Goron's physiology and health? Also Imagine someone mistaking this element for another variant of Rupee and making...

    How would this idea work as a setting?

    This is sort of the reason i asked a question on what parts of the North American continent each region of Hyrule would be located on in a previous thread

    How would this idea work as a setting?

    A version of Hyrule who's origin is not too dissimilar to the prologue of the 1997 Ralph Bakshi movie, Wizards, the Shannara Chronicles and the origins of the Land of Ooo from, Adventure Time. That being based on the concept of a high fantasy setting that was the result of the aftermath of a...

    If Hyrule and the lands around it from any games were placed onto North America, what parts of the continent would be similar to those regions?

    On a Map, what regions do you think would have the most similarities with each of the above Hyrulean regions in terms of Terrain, Climate and Biomes? Particularly these regions: Hyrule Kingdom (any) Gerudo (any) Faron (any) Lanayru (any) Eldin (any) Tabantha (BotW) Hebra (BotW) Necluda...
