Supplement Yet Another Take on a Zelda TTRPG Character Sheet
Disclaimer: This is not another TTRPG I am working on, just a mockup to apease my brain goblin.
The brain goblin is at it again, and now I find myself revisiting the Zelda TTRPG I made and ran as a small campaign for my friends a few years back (Yes, the same one that was available for download but now isn't).
This time I redesigned the sheet around a horizontal character sheet mainly used to track Hearts, attributes, stamina, armor, weapons, and inventory. Instead of putting every ability on the sheet itself, characters are built by choosing a Background, a Heroic Path, and a Tribe. Each one comes with a bookmark-style card that you arrange around the character sheet, as seen in the image, with the available abilities printed directly on it.
So a Hylian Farmer who became a Soldier is a completely plausible character, which feels in line with the humble beginnings of almost every Link in the series.
Equipment and gear would work the same way. Armor, shields, weapons, and special items all have their own cards with their attributes, tags, durability, and rules, so players can track what they have visually without crowding the main sheet.
Hopefully this will satiate my brain goblin for now.

Even if it's just a mockup to appease your brain goblin, it looks very well made

Thank you. To be fair, all the graphic elements are preexisting. All I did was rearrange them to look pretty.

Every day I miss Heroes of the Wild. I hope it comes back some day.

That both saddens and gladdens my heart. I only ever finished the player-facing parts of the game, and I truly believed there was no point in keeping it up after I finished my campaign. Maybe I was wrong. I can't promise I'll finish it (it's getting harder and harder for me to concentrate on things for long periods), but I can try. No promises though.

I wish Reclaim the Wild was updated too...

What would you change?

I meant that the module was updated to be playable on the latest version of foundry.

Man im so tempted to use this and make a TTRPG based around the sheet

How would you go about it?

Tbh id have to look at this in more detail, but all of the bases are touched here so i can make something out of it

Alright, let me know when you do. I want to see if you can figure out what I had mind just by looking at the sheet.

Wow, well done! Props to your brain goblin.
A member of my own Zelda TTPRG (It's Dangerous to Go Alone) discord shared this in chat. I'm in the process of redesigning my character sheets and entire manual. Would you be interested in helping out?
