Link from Breath of the Wild Glides into D&D 5th Edition!

“Hyaa!”

Hello Buildies! I’m incredibly excited to bring one of my favorite video game heroes to the table today, from a game that gave me hours and hours of joy as I roamed the land of Hyrule. Today’s build will be Link from the Legend of Zelda, specifically from Breath of the Wild!

Obviously, spoiler warning for the game, although we will also be referring to some of the other Zelda titles by necessity as well. That said, let’s look at how the Rip Van Winkle of video games (will anyone get that reference? I don’t know if they teach kids classic literature any more) plays out at your D&D game!

Hunting Grimm with Ruby Rose in D&D 5th Edition!

“As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books… Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn’t protect themselves!”

Hold onto your Ballistic Sniper Scythe, this week’s Building Character is all about everyone’s favorite ball of optimism and rose petals, Ruby! I’ve been a big fan of Monty Oum’s most well-known work since the beginning, and although it was a bit of a head-scratcher as to how best to represent her in D&D 5e, it was a challenge worth taking. Spoilers will abound, so go watch the whole 5 volumes right away! It’ll only take, like, a day since the episodes are short. Let’s dive right in!
