Lore

"The Golden Future"

About the AU:

This project was planned at the beginning of April 2024. Researching the timeline and key facts about my favorite video game series by Nintendo, "The Legend of Zelda." Brainstorming a new scenario and turning this AU into a storytelling creation! The cartoon-styled games were the choice for the theme because of the graphic and cinematic features brought to the games such as "The Wind Waker." I've always been a huge fan of cartoons as it was a part of my childhood memory even while growing up, and these games inspired me to create this storytelling feature. That's when "The Golden Future" was born. The concept was based on the characters, Link, Tetra, and the crew, after they've found their new home after their adventure in the games. The idea from this was trying to imagine how the story would plan out for the Golden Future timeline in the AU. Referencing from the adult timeline that ended within 100 years later leading into "Spirit Tracks."

In their new home in the AU timeline, the land has a barrier connected to a sacred world known as The Royal Grove created by the great goddesses, Hylia and Aura. The grove had an temple where the ancient relics of the two magical worlds, the Triforce and the Crystal Gem of Aura, were held and protected while keeping the barrier connected across Hyrule and Aurelia. Bringing peace and harmony together for the time being. Aurelia was a magical world protected under Goddess Aura. Guardian of the land and her chosen people with the power of Effulgence passed down within their birth. Surprisingly, Aurelia had a population of Hylians living there as it attracted Hylia to her attention and worked alongside Aura to create a new world and protect their people together. Creating the Royal Grove and connecting the barrier along with Hyrule and Aurelia to create one whole new world. The Great Haven of Concorded Peace. For the storyline, the project will have three eras for this timeline.

Beginning Era: "Reinforce: A Hero's Tenacity"

This is the backstory of the OC I’ve put together, Lillie Ambry, and her adventure on how she became a hero for The Great Haven. In this story, the the Triforce of Power and the Crystal Gem of Aura was was completely vanished from the temple. Causing the barrier to break as darkness strikes the Great Haven with an unknown cause. In Hyrule, the maidens have been captured, taken, and locked in temples across the Great Haven. Although with the Triforce of Power gone, the other two pieces of the Triforce were safely guarded. But with its darkness return with along with a few damages made, there's a high chance that everyone will soon be swallowed in despair unless someone with the heart of true courage to rescue the maidens, the missing shards to the Master Sword, save Tetra (Princess Zelda) and retrieve the crystal gem along with the Triforce of Power to restore the barrier back and bring the Great Haven in peace once again.

The Great Goddesses discover the young Hylian girl in the Hoca Realm. The home where Lillie was born in Aurelia. They stated that Lillie was not just an ordinary Hylian like the others. The power of Effulgence and the courageous power she uses to defend her home and family was growing at its peak. Alongside that, they’ve also discovered a hidden vessel within her bloodline that stated that Lillie would also be a chosen descendent of the royal territory in Hyrule. So not only Lillie was a descendant of Aura's chosen people of Aurelia, but also the next descendent for Hyrule's future. This was shocking and astonishing news for the goddesses, but it's too soon to confirm if the theory was true. Although the goddesses believe that Lillie would be the hero to bring peace back to the Great Haven with the potential growth shown within her. So, the goddesses decided to put Lillie to a test to see if she’s the right one for the Great Haven of Concorded Peace. Lillie and her new friend, Ami, joins Link and a few allies in an epic adventure to defeat Ganon and the dark forces of the Netherbyss, retrieve the Crystal Gem and the Triforce of Power stolen from the barrier temple in the Royal Grove, and restore the barrier to bring peace back to the sacred lands across the Great Haven. The hero of tenacity awaits.

Middle/Main Era: "Reinforce"

In this era, the time took place 1 year later after the adventure in the beginning era. Lillie’s life continues on while living in Hyrule after her epic adventure. She finally graduated from her school in Aurelia, made new friends, and had new hobbies while being a warrior. Peace was once again brought back to the kingdom including her homeland with the barrier finally connected back together after the wish was granted. However, the chaos was not done. Ganon may be gone, but now a certain someone who's now the main threat to the Great Haven is coming back for revenge after being defeated. Unless the Sacred Warriors put an end to stop their advance.

Ending Era: "Reinforce: After Days"

This era is basically the aftermath of it all. In this era, the characters have grown up and continue living their lives all the way to the very end. Even when still encountering sudden suspense in the Great Haven, the Sacred Warriors never split and continued keeping their home at peace. There are some content made based on this, but the decision is still to be determined and will be made in the future for the final results.

This project was a challenge to begin with. Overall, I look forward experiencing an innovative journey creating films and content to express my storytelling passion. Starting now.

Description:

"Tetra and Link have witnessed two new friends from a secret world called Aurelia and have encountered the world of Hyrule. Two Hylian girls named Lillie Ambry and Ami Timbeth seeks to discover Hyrule and retrieve the missing relics from the Royal Grove after the dark forces attack on the Great Haven. They were sent down in a sudden crash on Hyrule grounds by the great goddesses, Hylia of Hyrule and Aura of Aurelia, to set off their first adventure saving everyone from danger and bring peace back to their home. With the reveal of Lillie not only a descendant of Aura's chosen people of Aurelia, but also a descendant of Hyrule's territory with a hidden vessel connected within her bloodline, she is willing to fight alongside her allies to protect Hyrule, Aurelia, and the rest of the land from evil as she makes her next plan as the next chosen hero. The Hero of Tenacity. The Sacred Warriors will succeed..."

Ages:

After researching the lore behind the original game of the series, there are numerous debates on the web about the ages of the characters in the series. Whether or not the statements are true, it remains unknown. Here's how I've set up the information for the characters' ages for the AU in my POV. The ages are also shown on the character profiles on my Notion character page.

In the beginning era, Lillie started as a small child at a young age with her family. When growing up, the story continues with Lillie and Ami meeting Tetra, Link, and the others (16-17 yrs: Teens). I used the reference of Link's age from the web source to match up with Lillie and Ami. For Tetra, some web sources stated and debated that she is the same age or at least one year older than Link. From this, I honestly can see their point based on her blunt personality she acts towards Link in the game, but it's still questionable whether the statement might be true. So, this would indicate a depicted guess in canon. For the maidens, still the same age, but a few are one year older. In the main era, I picture the timeline 1 year later apart from the beginning era (Young adult ages). Finally, the ending era, the characters would be around adult ages and beyond. It'll depend on how the storyline is displayed. Overall, this is the official age with the characters for the AU.

Character Recap: The Sacred Warriors

Lillie Ambry: Leader of the Sacred Warriors and wielder of the Master Sword. Known as the Hero of Tenacity. Her courageous power in her recent adventure after collecting the three shards, saving the maidens, and saving everyone and every sacred land in peace after reconnecting the barrier has proven to everyone that her position was well-deserved as the hero of tenacity of the Great Haven. Granting her with a new power along with her effulgence magic and the shared piece of the Triforce of Courage from Link. A new hero was born.

Toon Link: Co-leader of the Sacred Warriors. The main hero, the legendary Hero of Winds. Original wielder with the triforce of courage in his previous adventure. Keeping the first piece while the other piece was shared with Lillie, the two can combine the two pieces into one gaining ultimate power and protecting everyone in the Great Haven. Link is a wind-waking warrior.

Ami Timbeth: Second co-leader of the Sacred Warriors. Born with the power of Effulgence from Aura’s hemisphere and wielder with the Spear of Lambency. A powerful weapon gifted by Goddess Aura and the ancestors. Her courageous power within her blood to defend her home and the Great Haven grows with the knowledge of leadership within her role just like she did in Viria under her father’s will. Hylia was intrigued to see a courageous Warrior Princess stepping up and making her own decisions after her father’s sacrifice in battle. As she prepares to advance into the next era, Ami is willing to give it her all with no hesitation.

Tetra (Princess Zelda): The bold and bravest pirate leader of the Great Sea. Even though her identity has been revealed as the princess in the previous adventure, she still wants to be known as her true self she has always been for eternity while wielding the Triforce of Wisdom within her grasp. However, that doesn’t stop her from bringing everyone across the Great Haven in peace with togetherness within her leading role.

"The Enneagrams"

About the AU:

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 regarding their traits as listed below along with the link to the webpage with the descriptions of the tests. The series was about five young adults improving from what they've experienced in the past to future. Traits such as music, dance, fashion design, etc. The group joins together as they face their challenges to succeed themselves, family, and allies to become what they've destined to be. 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)
