   • Graphic Depictions Of Violence
   • Link (Legend of Zelda)
   • Link's cooking pot
   • characters with prominent speaking roles include:
   • Zelda; Yunobo; Amali; Riju; Sidon
   • (as well as Marin; Ilia; Aryll; Daruk; Revali; Urbosa; Mipha; Impa; and Zelda in memories)
   • Impa; Dorian and his family; Malon and her family; Sarie; Kass
   • trans girl Link
   • plot and lore heavy
   • lots of worldbuilding
   • Yunobo Amali Riju and Sidon among others will be given expanded roles
   • this a longfic that covers all events from Breath of the Wild
   • (from Link's awakening on the Great Plateau to defeating Calamity Ganon)
   • Link has slow burn character development throughout the story
   • and is actually going to be affected by the 100 years of absence
   • but really this is just an 84-chapter long character study
   • of Link and others
   • though it begins as a humorous fantasy romp through Hyrule and ends up much grander
   • featuring characters from previous games such as Ilia and Marin
   • and also LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of food with every chapter having a recipe
   • Trans Female Character
   • we have finished Vah Rudania; Vah Medoh; Vah Naboris; and Vah Ruta;
   • we have covered Link's homecoming to Akkala; the Master Sword; and Hyrule Castle;
   • and we now at endgame: Calamity Ganon; the Great Calamity; and the Triforce
   • addendum after Ballad of the Champions' release: romance is not featured heavily in this story
   • however the pairings of Marin x Link and Zelda x Urbosa do come up
   • Zelda is eighteen years old at the time and Urbosa is twenty which is not canon-compliant
   • but this was written and released prior to Ballad of the Champions

   Summary

   All of the wilds combined cannot sit at a campfire and share stew from a communal cooking pot. And once you get the cooking pot, there's no reason not to cook every dish in Hyrule.
   -
   A novelisation and significant rewrite of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, inspired by Dungeon Meshi, with a focus on world-building, character development-driven plot, and a recipe for every chapter.
   -
   Note to readers: In this fic, Link is mute, a trans girl, and a lover of food. If any of those things doesn't sit well in your stomach (I can understand how a heroine loving food might put you off), there's no need to leave your vitriol in the comments.
