continuing to show tumblr my au, here are link,zelda, and impa

this is my version of nabooru! given that the gerudo culture has no concept of last names, instead using physical traits, hobbies, or jobs as clarifiers, “nabooru” is her full name. she is 48 years old.

she’s always been someone well read, earning her a high level of respect within the gerudo oasis. most gerudo tend to their own community, but nabooru has always looked beyond their walls. she’s spent much of her life studying the various conflicts between the gerudo and hylians, and notices a pattern– it escalates when a male gerudo is born. so when ganondorf is born, her community turns to her despite her only being the age of 16. 

when a war inevitably breaks out between the hylians and gerudo over the triforce, ganondorf appoints her as his right-hand, hoping her knowledge of previous wars will aid them in finally overcoming the hylians. but, no matter how much nabooru explains the principles of realism or war, it seems ganondorf is simply unwilling to listen. when he is imprisoned by the hylians, nabooru steps into ganon’s place as leader.

she turns the throne from something that exists to keep the peace to something more akin to how the hylians have structured their own monarchy. because of her, the phrase “by any means necessary” becomes common parlance amongst the gerudo.
