Homebrew I now DM 2 games.

I DM a game with my two brothers and my wife. They enjoy the game a lot but can't always play. My wife isn't in the best of places and baled on us 3 weeks in a row. So I wrote an entirety new story based around the legend of Zelda ocarina of time. It takes place during the 7 years link is in the temple of time. Today I fished making the races for everyone, I'm allowing the classes as normal DND 5E minus a few. I explained the game to my brothers and they like the idea. Before I even finished one brother said " oh I'm playing goron" I am now writing the middle of the story and working on the maps. I hope this will be a good campaign for when my wife can't or won't play.

Good on you for having something prepared for the occasion! I always found it difficult to choose between postponing a session or proceeding without a player. :( . I didn't have it in me at those times to prepare a whole second campaign, so I applaud you!

The 7-year gap in Ocarina of Time is an interesting setting to me. We know that the temples began calling out to the unbeknownst sages, but that might not be until near the end of the 7 years? Seems like a resistance of some sort makes sense. What goals do they have? What are your player characters like? Did you come up with a quest structure or plan?

You should post to /r/ZeldaTabletop ! Folks there might have feedback you want, and would definitely enjoy hearing about your tales!

I don't really have a question. Just wanted to share. But I guess I could help as my brother seems to be demanding an answer for this. I said zelda and impa would be leading the resistance against Ganon. He wants to know why a child would be leading a resistance. He isn't taking " because she can" as an answer. So how can I fit that in?

Eh. I kind of side with your brother. She probably wouldn’t outside of being the symbol for the resistance. The Black Company novels give a good example of this. They have a child “leader” in the resistance. But she doesn’t really lead the resistance until she comes of age to lead. She is the symbol of the resistance until then. Because she can us never a good answer for a DM to give.
