No to Termina as I’ve answered in an ask a few… minutes? An hour ago? It was today and it was recent but yeh, no headcanons on Termina I’m afraid!

Now, the Realm of the Ocean King and Koholint island however… I got plans for both! I was gonna wait a bit until I thought more about the idea since I hadn’t sat down and brainstormed anything yet, but I may as well throw what I got off the top of my head thus far:

-The Realm of the Ocean King and Koholint Island will exist as both one kingdom and on the same plane of existence.

-My idea is that the Great Sea will exist in the same plane as the other kingdoms as vast expansive sea, in which legends say it is the sea of the gods and is never-ending. Those who try sailing it are either forced to turn back by an unseen, unknown force or, if they are too stubborn and try to continue on, will be lost to the sea forever. However, there are tales and legends which say that the sea does end, that it is stopped by a huge wall of water that leads into an ocean in the sky. This acts as a portal that will lead to the floating oceans of The Realm of the Ocean King (otherwise known as simply The Ocean Kingdom OR maybe even The Land of Dragons?)

-This kingdom is probably the most elusive and hardest to get to, so much so that many believe it to simply be a legend. In line of my thinking of this AU as if it were an actual Zelda game, I think this would lend very well to Tetra in my headcanon and her seemingly unattainable dream to sail and actually see the fabled oceanic kingdom in the sky. Like the main mission being Link and crew having to go to every kingdom and Tetra would be your way to this one, and so on. owo

-There will be at least 4 main races that inhabit The Ocean Kingdom. Still very much in development  and subject to tweaks and changes, but what I have thus far are:

• Parella: A primarily aquatic race who have the unique ability to float in the air, due to the air-sacks they harbor. The often live in the shallower straits that connect the vast seas to smaller bodies of water within the realm’s islands.
• Watarara: A race of peoples who largely inhabit the islands scattered throughout The Ocean Kingdom. The Watarara are human-like and greatly resemble Hylians, though their pointed ears are way shorter. A characteristic that completely separates them from Hylians, though, is their wings. The Watarara are unique in that, upon their backs, are elaborate, tattoo-like markings that are in the shape of stylized wings. These markings allow the Watarara to call forth a pair of wings of which they use to fly at will.
• Kulu: A race of aquatic peoples who inhabit the deep dark depths of The Ocean Kingdom. They’re characterized by having the face and torso of a human, but the tail of a fish in place of legs. They are essentially mermaids, however they are much larger in size, typically reaching about the average size of a great white shark. The Kulu occasionally take trips to the plane Hyrule exists in to explore their oceans and see the strange inhabitants of the realm. Its through brief sightings of them that has started the legend of the “fishmen”, no relation to the Zora that is.

The forth race I’ve yet to decide because I really wanna flesh these out first, especially the Watarara. Trying to decide for sure if their wings can be called upon to make a reference to The Wind Waker’s version of Rito, or if they’re a permanent feature they can’t call forth and such. Hmmm….

But yeh! That’s what I have so far! owo
