Under the Great Tree | Tropedia | Fandom

Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.

All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Under the Great Tree is a Ze Link fan fiction written by TV Troper "Magmar Fire" that takes place during the events of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It explores Zelda's perspective when she went to sleep for thousands of years to keep the seal on Demise intact and subtly proposes just how emotionally damaging it must have been for her.

You can read it here. Do note, though, that it contains spoilers for Skyward Sword, so read at your own risk.

This page needs a better description. You can help this wiki by expanding or clarifying the information given.

Tropes used in Under the Great Tree include:

A Day in the Limelight: We see what's going on in Zelda's dream during her thousand-year-long sleep. Subverted toward the end when the focus switches to Link.
All Just a Dream: Mostly.
Deadpan Snarker: Link, slightly.
Mental World: See Mythology Gag below.
Mythology Gag: Zelda's dream takes place in the dreamlike meadow on the moon in Majora's Mask.
Something Only They Would Say: How does the point get drilled home that the boy is Link? His snark.
Talking in Your Dreams
The Glomp
Title Drop
Two Lines, No Waiting: Played with; it's implied at the end that Link and Zelda were sharing, and talking to each other in, the exact same dream.
Woman in White: Zelda is still in her spirit maiden attire from somewhat-early in the game. It's not really explained why, but it can simply be handwaved with it being a dream.
World Tree: The tree in the story is actually the one on the moon from Majora's Mask, so it fits by extension.
