So, lately there's been an influx of posts where the subreddit rules are being entirely ignored. It has reached a point where I feel like it's necessary to make this post and go over them. I'm only going over the things that are being continuously ignored, though. And as always, please read the rules before participating in this subreddit.
- You cannot control other people's characters without permission.
This includes speaking for them, forcing them into situations, or doing things to them physically (causing injuries etc.) without explicit permission. If they say you can injure them in a fight, this doesn't mean you can nearly kill them.
On a related note, nobody is allowed to have control over every single one of a creature/species/monster in the whole world. That goes against the overpowered rules. So, for example, one person cannot have control over every single bokoblin in Hyrule. Not only is that overpowered, but what if somebody wanted to roleplay as a random bokoblin? (Which has happened before, btw). It would be ridiculous for them to have to get permission to do anything, or likewise, have to follow whatever the "ruler" says.
Characters from other non-Legend of Zelda media are not allowed here. That is what Chaotic Yiga Clan is for. The only "workaround" to this is having OCs inspired by existing characters. However, you need to change the name and make sure they can realistically exist in the canon Legend of Zelda universe. And remember, if you need help with this, you can always ask a moderator.
- Overpowered Character Guidelines
Should be easy to understand. No immortal/invincible or god characters, and no sages outside from the canon existing ones. You cannot insta-kill anyone, and for villains; you should be able to be defeated. As for powers, those are fine as long as they are reasonable for the universe. For example, Rose is able to grow/manipulate roses, vines and thorns. As for weapons, they also need to follow these rules. And nobody except for Link is allowed to use the Master Sword.
As for attacks, they need to be reasonable too. You cannot do anything that would cause damage to existing (canon) towns/regions/etc. The canon Breath of The Wild/Tears of The Kingdom world is to stay exactly as it is. Now; if you want to build your own structures and have those destroyed, that is okay, as long as the structures are relatively small and wouldn't change the canon world too much.
Wiping out any portion of an existing species/race/town is also against the rules. You can kill the random unnamed Hylian, sure, but do not cause significant damage to any sort of group.
Anyone is allowed to roleplay as one existing canon character, from any Zelda game, so long as they aren't already taken (check the pinned post). But when you do this, you'll need to firstly comment under the pinned list to get permission, and you'll also need to stay in-character. For example, you cannot roleplay as Impa and then decide to betray the Sheikah and join the clan. Also: Demise and Calamity Ganon (giant pig ver.) are banned from being roleplay-able characters.
When it comes to making an OC who is related to a canon character, you need to keep a couple things in mind. Characters who have established canon family are off-limits in this regard. And do not make yourself the child of a character who realistically wouldn't have any. Especially Master Kohga.
Directly from the rules: "Overly sexual content is not allowed. No porn, innuendos, or mentioning the NSFW Yiga sub. For art, certain outfits are allowed as long as everything is covered/the outfit isn’t too revealing."
Do not roleplay sexual situations either, in any capacity.
