That's all, that's the post.

So, I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

In the shrine of resurrection, it takes 100 years for Link, after his horrible injuries, to recover from his injuries, with a loss of memory. When you look at the bed, it’s a bed that’s full of water. Presumably, that water had healing properties that restored Link’s conditions.

Which is interesting, because when viewing the cutscene where Mipha gives Link her grace, you can see after his retrieval of it some water particles. What’s more, Link when using Mipha’s grace in battle also has these water particles surrounding him.

It seems that water has healing properties.

So I thought, “How much more powerful is Mipha’s grace then the shrine of resurrection?” And I did some calculation. So this will be the math part (skip next paragraph and calculation if you don’t care).

To get how much more powerful Mipha’s grace is than the shrine of resurrection, I decided I’ll divide how much time Mipha’s grace heals Link compared to the shrine of resurrection. I set M to seconds grace heals and p to our answer. Which sets up our equation to be : 100y / M = p. Since Mipha’s grace heals Link near instantly, I presumed that Mipha’s grace healed Link in ≈1 second (and also because I was too lazy to get the actual accurate number, and since 1 would be easy to transfer units). Which would mean our equation would be 100y / 1s = p. Now some unit transfer. We transfer our years to seconds so we can cancel the variable of time and get our answer. Which since we have simpler terms, we can go:

[(100 x 365) + 25] (leap days, yes I am crazy) x 24 x 60 x 60

Which approximately equals 3.155 billion. That’s how many times mipha’s grace is more powerful at recovering one person at one use. And such power even adds 5 extra hearts, and recovers in 24 MINUTES. And if you combine this with the theory that Mipha’s grace works with her manifesting her love…

Can anyone assist please? I’ve had this vision in my head for a while. Last year I imagined a timeline in which Mipha is defeated by Waterblight but kept alive as a hostage aboard Vah Ruta for a hundred years before getting rescued by Link, rather than getting killed and trapped only spiritually in her Divine Beast like the other Champions. I suspect Mipha could reach her friend Kodah’s height over the course of those hundred years, but might not because her malnourishment as a prisoner all that time stunted her growth. Even if this idea comes to naught, thanks for hearing me out.

Our pre-orders are opening up THIS MONTH, May 14th through June 11th!

Mipha is my favorite character, in every sense of the word; always the one I go to first, both in Battle Royale and AoC. However, she also leaves me feeling a bit anxious—her personality, her shyness, and even her unspoken love for Link. Furthermore, it almost seems like Ninetales "mishandles" her, making her seem like the weakest of the champions, even though in my opinion she's the strongest, even stronger than Link; both as a playable character in AoC and as a character in her own right. Her sense of duty is also fantastic; she sacrifices herself and protects everyone not because she has to, but because she wants to. Despite this, Nintendo never gave her what she deserved, namely:

1. Peace for her impossible love
2. A less "marginal" role
3. Making her look like a heroine, not someone who fell because she was too weak

Furthermore, she's the most heartbreaking because in the "canon" timeline she dies, but she's not simply a legend; it's a mourning for her surviving family, given that Zoras live a very long time. Furthermore, many fans mock her, making edits with Zelda and Link, with her all she can do is watch, or always portraying her as the weak, depressed one.

In short, in my opinion, no one gives her the justice and interest she deserves, nor a happy ending.

Let me know if you agree with what I say, and if so, what you think.
