#i mean why are they always teenagers

continuing to show my au to tumblr, here’s link’s introduction for reference

this is my version of zelda! she’s 29 years old, and her full name is zelda ameranth bhos. she assumed the throne shortly after her father, king rhonin, and mother, the queen consort, were both poisoned. the murderer was never found.

at the age of 12, king rhonin was fully convinced zelda was a child of destiny. as the royal family had access to the sacred realm at the time, he told zelda to take the triforce. to control her own fate. however, when she made an attempt at grabbing the relic, it fractured. when zelda returned from the sacred realm with only one piece of the triforce, that piece being power, rhonin was sorely disappointed. this event led to the ignition of a war between the hylians and the gerudo: “the war of desert embers”.

often being compared to zeldas of the past by her father, she strives to be the greatest queen hyrule has ever known. this leads to a doubling down on her father’s cruel way of ruling, and a campaign to expand hyrule’s territory with a disregard for the people of bordering nations. as this behavior worsens, so does zeldas mental state– and she has no way of hitting the brakes.
