not that i'm hinting mind you... lol unless...?

You know, as much as I enjoy post-BotW fic where the author springboards off the true ending*, I really want a post-BotW fic that springboards off the speedrun.

Like, Zelda opens her eyes post banishing Ganon to the Shadow Realm and is presented with her hero: an absolute wild man with 3 hearts, 1 stamina wheel and 0 fucks, who just bombed himself across Hyrule Field wearing nothing but his Zora-issue underpants and a manic expression, clutching the splintered remains of the ladle with which he just beat Ganon's ass. Idk if it would be funnier to be like "Link fully remembers what happened and this is 100 years worth of VENGEANCE" or "Link has lost his memories, this is just who he is when you strip away all the expectations and knight training and everything else that might have served as an internal set of brakes: an absolute Force of Nature barely contained in a body with the constitution of a wet noodle." But a fic starting from either of those points is bound to go to some wild places. :D



*AO3: Here are 13 thousand fics with that exact premise.
Me: Holy shit 13 thousand cakes! :DDDDD also I should bake me one of these too holy shit
