Hidden Details: Smooching Time

Yooo, welcome to yet another Hidden Details blog. It's a humble one today. And that's good, because the Endgame/Game of Thrones craziness is about to go down and I need every second I can get!

This also means that this will be the last Breath of the Wild comic for a while. The final Game of Thrones comic will be released May 22nd, so after that I will probably revisit Link and his Korok companion. I kinda wanted him to leave the Great Plateau before the break, but Jamie (intern) came up with the idea of this comic and it was just too good not to make.

Let's get to it:

The Lynel's fake Tinder account hints at its true owner in the first panel: the "girl" calls herself feisty_lioness18. Lynels are murderous lion-horses, as we all know.

How did the Lynel get a picture of a handsome Hylian woman, you ask? Well, as you can see in the last panel: he abducted her, stole her phone and identity and cooked one of her legs. I realize how dark that sounds, but Hyrule is a dark place. This woman is an actual NPC in Breath of the Wild, by the way. Her name is Aliza and you can find her at the Outskirt Stable.

(I booted up my Switch and traveled to her to take this picture for you)
Also, they matched on April 1st. April 1st was also the day I used Link's Twitter/Instagram account (@dodongobomber86) to tell the world he was going on a date. World building, yeah!

In Tinder (for iOS, I think?), there's an Emoji icon in the lower left corner when you're chatting with someone you matched with. The Emoji icon in this comic has been replaced with a Korok mask icon.

You can like messages in Tinder. I think. I don't use it so I'm not 100% sure, but in any case: I replaced the heart icon with a little Heart Container.

In the fourth panel, when the "camera" zooms out, you can see feisty_lioness18 requesting Link not to bring any weapons to their date. Suspicious? Sure, but Link is only a guy and he's not thinking straight at this point.

In the same panel, you can see Link's little Korok companion is also chatting with a mysterious date on his fancy LeafPhone.

And in the background, albeit blurred, you can see a Blupee suspiciously eyeing Link.

The Lynel promises Link he'll wear something exciting, and he's not lying. He replaced his Lynel armor with a naughty schoolgirl uniform. He's even wearing some lipstick! Although there's a good chance that's blood. The blueish lines and stripes on the Lynel's body are largely accurate, but I added two little "tears" next to his eye to suggest he has killed at least two men in prison to make him even more scary.

Also, the Korok's date is a Chuchu wearing a Korok mask and holding a little Korok stick.

To the right of the final panel, you can see the mangled body of Aliza. This isn't gruesome, she's just uh... sleeping. And yes, her foot is missing but maybe she didn't even like that foot so it's no big deal.

You can find her missing foot in the cooking pot, by the way.

The bonus panel reveals that the Korok and the Chuchu actually kinda hit it off! My headcanon is that the Chuch initially wanted to ambush the Korok, just like the Lynel wanted to do with Link, but since our Korok is very open minded, he actually didn't care that his date had a blue gooey body and he made the Chuchu feel very beautiful. So their date was a huge success after all. Link and the Lynel are a different story. If you look at the background, you can see them frolicking around.

And that's it! Hope you've enjoyed these Breath of the Wild comics and I hope you don't mind the little Endgame/GoT break that's about to enter our lives.

In any case, have a great weekend. See you next week!

Cheers!
