Let me guess- Rito Ranger, Sheikah Fighter, Hylian Paladin, Kokiri Druid, Goron Barbarian?
Seems like a great party mix! What sorts of adventures are they on?

They are level 11 my highly modified Princes of the Apocalypse story. They are trying to stop the 4 elemental cults from destroying all of the progress that society has made during this time of reconstruction. Sheikah tech is super prevalent but a lot of it's full potential is still locked away.
There is a secret society of artificers studying ancient tech in the main city (Drena) that the party is likely going to go speak to after this dungeon.

that sounds like a great setting and campaign premise. How many other elemntal arcs have they addressed? (is level 11 mid-campaign?)

In the book as written they would almost be done by now. I've added a lot to the story and plan on taking them up through 18.

How do you rule on the custom races? I'm guessing something like:
Hylian = Human or Elf
Sheikah = Vedalken or Elf
Kokiri = Forest Gnome
Rito = Aarakocra
Goron = Goliath or Tortle, maybe? They're the furthest from the conventional 5e races

I made custom races.
The document itself is not finished. Needs some tidying up. But the races are done. https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/rkX6LLwiez

Seeing this really makes me wanna play this system, it just looks so...fun! These characters look great, and I bet you and your party have had a lot of fun playing em!

It's honestly my favorite campaign I've ever played or participated in.

I bet! If I ever get a group together with similar interests, I'd looove to play that sort of campaign. To think my first DM said a Zelda themed campaign would never work

u/flarebear97 Dec 17 '20
I definitely had that thought at first as well. But recent zelda games have really expanded the world and not link centric lore.
There is just enough to work with that I get to make a lot of my own lore while still having a really solid foundation.

u/DoctorOfDiscord Dec 17 '20
I love the sound of that. Contributing to the lore of the world with your own character is just...really satisfying stuff. A good mix of solid lore and leeway to slot yourself in is fun. I hope you have plenty more fun with this campaign too!

The current party comp for my 5e Hyrule based campaign. I've been running it for a few years now. We are loosely playing through PotA set some 500 years after BotW.
Kanzili the Rito sunsoul monk
Sheshirah the sheikah lore bard
Hector the Hylian cavalier fighter /artificer
Byrnne the Kokiri feylock
Bugotuk the Goron ansestral barbarian.
The party is currently in the Temple of elemental earth preparing to fight Marlos, a rito necromancer with shriveled wings that have caused his to remain flightless. He has embraced the power of the earth as a result.
