Concept & Lore: "TLOZ - AHT / Reinforce"

About the AU/Series:

This project was planned at the beginning of April 2024. Researching key facts about my favorite video game series by Nintendo, "The Legend of Zelda," to brainstorm a new scenario with a new timeline into a storytelling creation. The cartoon-styled games stood out to me the most because of the graphic and cinematic features they brought to the games such as "The Wind Waker HD" for example. I've always been a huge fan of cartoons and these official games inspired me to create this storytelling feature.

When I think of Reinforce, I thought about having all the characters from the cartoon-style games and combine them into one new universe based on the characters' stories. This AU is part of the continuation from the series, "A Hero's Tenacity." From there, the story will take place in a new era called, the Hallowed timeline. Starting with a new magical world connected to the barrier of Hyrule under Aura, the Goddess of Aurelia's future. The series will be based on a reflection back story of the character, Lillie Ambry, gaining determination to become the next hero of not only Hyrule, but the Hallowed Worlds as well. In the new timeline, the barrier was broken and Aurelia was forgotten for centuries apart from the outside world. It remained unknown to the cause, but there was a population of Hylians in two magical kingdoms connected to the barrier of Hyrule outside. The Hoca Haven and Virian Empire. The two kingdoms where Lillie and Ami came from before their move to Hyrule.

Throughout the time when Hyrule was invaded once again after the past hero made its final wish, the Triforce completely vanished. However, the Triforce disappeared in an unexpected suspense. The Triforce of Courage was split into three whole parts. Two shards were recovered and guarded in Hyrule, but one piece was shattered into seven to eight pieces. Scattered and hidden across the secret landmarks apart from Hyrule. Without the shard, it can be less powerful, and there may be a high chance that the kingdom would fall into the hands of darkness once again unless someone with the heart of true courage gathers all the pieces and restores the Triforce of Courage into one again. Revealed and gifted to the chosen hero with full power to wield the Master Sword to bring Hyrule and the Hallowed Worlds back into peace. However, the Triforce of Courage is still not completed as only two shards have already been wielded. The third and last shard was protected and hidden in the castle for centuries to prevent Ganon and his army from retrieving it. Unfortunately, it’s unknown to whom the second descendant was to wield the final shard until the future reveals the second chosen hero with the true heart of Courage to discover the historical truth of Aurelia within the Hallowed Worlds. Revealed and gifted with the last piece as the Triforce of Courage has finally restored its power and combined as a whole once again. Now, together, the Sacred Warriors are ready to defend everyone in the Hallowed Worlds as a new era begins. Leading back to the main appearance, "TLOZ: Reinforce." With this, I look forward experiencing an innovative journey creating projects and films to express my storytelling passion as a digital creator. Starting now.

Description:

"Princess Zelda and Link have witnessed a new and familiar character from a new world called Aurelia and have encountered the world of Hyrule. A Hylian girl named Lillie Ambry seeks to discover the open worlds. Years after being trapped under the control of her vague stepfather. After a sudden crash down on Hyrule grounds by the Goddess Hylia, it took her a while to settle in her new home, but improved much more than expected as she made a strong connection with her allies including the citizens of Hyrule. She sets off on her first adventure saving the kingdom from darkness and took the position as the leader of the Sacred Warriors for her outstanding bravery. Alongside that, after a long separation away, she finally reunites with her best friend from Aurelia and discovers the hidden truth behind their home. Now, Lillie is willing to fight alongside her allies to protect Hyrule, Aurelia, and the Hallowed Worlds from evil as she makes her next plan as the next chosen hero to lead the team and bring peace across the worlds. The Sacred Warriors will succeed..."

Ages:

There are numerous debates on the web about the ages of the characters in the gaming series. However, whether or not the statements are true, it remains unknown. Here's how I've set up the information for the characters' ages for this timeline in my POV for the AU/Series. The ages are also shown on the characters' page.

In "A Hero's Tenacity," Lillie and Ami were 14 years of age. Lillie started as a small child at a young age with her family. When growing up, that’s where the main points came through the storyline. The story continues when Lillie meets the princess, Link, and the others. I used the reference of Link's age from the web source to match up with Lillie and Ami along with the Four Swords since they’re all the same Link. For Princess Zelda, some web sources stated and debated that Toon Zelda (Tetra) is one year older than Link. From this, I can see their point. Based on her blunt personality she acts towards Link in the game, but it's still questionable whether it might be true. So, this would indicate a depicted guess in canon that she would be 15 for this timeline. So, in conclusion, the cast has been confirmed around 14-15 years of age for the series, “TLOZ: A Hero's Tenacity.” In the main appearance, I picture the timeline 3 years later apart from the series which is what you see on the characters' ages listed on the character webpage with the final result. With this, these will be the official ages of the cast for the AU/Series.

Character Recap:

Lillie Ambry: Leader of the Sacred Warriors and wielder of the Master Sword. She retrieved the missing pieces to restore the second piece of the Triforce of Courage and was gifted as the second descendant in her adventure. Proving to the world that she's the next chosen hero for Hyrule and the Hallowed Worlds.

Toon Link: The wind-waking warrior, co-leader of the Sacred Warriors, and wielder of the Sacred Sword. The original wielder of the Triforce of Courage apart from his previous adventures. Keeping the first piece after the shard split into three, he's willing to lead his team to victory and bring peace back to the kingdom free from danger.

Ami Timbeth: The second co-leader of the Sacred Warriors and Warrior Princess of the Virian Empire. Born with the power of Effulgence from Aura’s hemisphere with a successful leadership of intelligence ruling the empire under her father's will, and wielder with the Spear of Lambency. Her courage within her blood to discover the historical truth behind her home and defend the Hallowed Worlds reveals that Ami was selected as the second chosen hero for Hyrule’s future. Gifting her the third and last hidden piece of the Triforce of Courage, she's willing to give it her all as her next era for Warrior Princess of Viria.

Princess Zelda: The Princess of Hyrule. An adventurous pirate to a royal descendant of Hyrule and wielder of the Triforce of wisdom. The princess is bringing the Hallowed Worlds together in peace in the light with interconnectedness.

Concept & Lore: "The Enneagrams"

About the AU/Series:

For this project, I aimed to develop a group of characters and create stories that contrast with the real world. I've also taken the Enneagram tests for these characters regarding their traits as they were listed below along with the link to the description of the tests. The series was about five young adults and their journey to improve from what they've experienced in their past to new beings with their traits. Traits such as music, dance, fashion design, etc. After their beginning journey, the group joins together as they face the challenges to succeed themselves, family, and allies to become what they've destined to be as their future awaits. Five characters, one group. They were known as "The Enneagrams."

Enneagram Types:

Cindy Nixon: "The Peacemaker" (Type 9)

Jamal Harper: "The Investigator" (Type 5)

Isabella "Bella" Rodriguez: "The Helper" (Type 2)

Hayley Miller: "The Challenger" (Type 8)

Ruby Daley: "The Enthusiast" (Type 7)
