LostMediaWiki page: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (lost early version of Duel of the Empires; early 2000s)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was a game that Nintendo planned for the GameCube, its third console released in collaboration with Sony. This game had concept art shown off at various gaming conventions in early 2001. However, negative feedback combined with several discoveries that revealed Nintendo had underestimated the power of the GameCube's hardware led to the game being cancelled. Eventually, the flagship Zelda title for the GameCube would be 2003's Duel of the Empires.
History
Development for a Legend of Zelda game on the GameCube began shortly after the completion and release of Majora's Mask on the PlayStation in 2000. Eventually, the development team, led mainly by Eiji Aonuma, created a tech demo based on updated models of the PSN game' Adult Link and Ganondorf, and showed off the demo at the GameCube's reveal at Space World 2000, where Nintendo and Sony first confirmed the GameCube's name. Fans and critics were hyped and expressed hope it would be the basis of the next big Zelda title.
However, Aonuma disliked the demo, and called for a newer art style and direction. Aunouma got as far as commissioning drawings of several characters in a cartoonish style which would then be shown off at various events through late 2000, and conceived a title; The Wind Waker. However, fan and critical reception to these cartoonish drawings were near-unanimously negative. Part of this angry feedback had to do with Nintendo's reputation at the time as a company whose games were targeted solely to children; a reputation that even long-time partners like Sony and the British developer Rare Ltd had openly criticized Nintendo for having. The Hero of Time duology (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask) had been praised for being one of the few games by Nintendo itself to escape this stigma, and fans and critics wanted Zelda to keep that path.
Embittered and humiliated after the angry feedback rolled in, Aonuma was forced to return to the drawing board with the need to have new designs and ideas ready by May 2001. Eventually, another idea came when Yoshiki Haruhana drew his own idea for a "modernistic" Link; this version placed the Hero of Time Link in a version of a classic Link outfit redesigned to resemble a military uniform, but then it also replaced his iconic cap with a Brodie Helmet, and portrayed Link with a pistol as one of his weapons. Meanwhile, further tests on the GameCube's hardware revealed that there was more data space for an overworld like on the PlayStation titles; at the time, Aunoma had proposed replacing the overworld with an ocean in case there was not enough data.
Availability
Not much is known about what The Wind Waker would have been had it gotten far enough into development. However, Aunoma has confirmed that several characters in Duel of the Empires were originally conceived for The Wind Waker. The most notable example was Link's sister Aryll, who was originally a mere child in The Wind Waker, but was rewritten as being the older of the two siblings early in Duel of the Empires' development.
Since the 2000s, some concept art of the cartoonish art style has been leaked and featured in several books detailing the history of the Zelda franchise. However, it is unlikely and major playable content was made in this art style prior to its retool.
However, the art style would go on to inspire the Zelda titles on the Nintendo DualScreen (DSN). Most notably the Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, with the former game even featuring the sailing mechanic in the place of a traditional overworld. Whereas the latter game would combine said art style with the idea of a more modernistic Hyrule.

Well, I normally wouldn't butterfly Wind Waker. However, thing is I wasn't sure where to put my own idea for a Zelda game (the one of Hyrule based on Victorian Britain) in.
If it's of any consolation, I plan to revise the post so that the art style is featured in the DS games still.
The Three As
A Youtube channel dedicated to three brothers, all muppets, who given their opinions on various media they are by and large dedicated to; these three muppets are:
Archie: The oldest of the three brothers, and colored Red. He mostly focuses on film analysis and review. His distinguishing attitude is one of a fairly stoic nature. In addition, he notably has a rather dry sense of humor.
Arlo: The middle child, and colored Blue. His main area of focus is video gaming in general, but especially the Nintendo-Sony brand. His is the most distinguishable by his lighter and more enthusiastic attitude than Arnold, but at the same time having a similarly dry sense of humor.
Arnold: The youngest of the three, and colored Green. His main area of focus is animation in general, but particularly TV programs due to Archie doing most of the films in general. He is easily the most child-like and impressionable of the three, but at the same time is able to develop good taste, and explain his unpopular opinions.
Not much is known about the men behind the suits, beyond that they live at least a few miles east of Roanoke, Virginia. While they have special events, their operators are never photographed.
OOC: Based IOTL off both the youtuber Arlo and my own brothers. This is a TL where he has fictional siblings.

I had an interesting idea what if Fox bought Disney? Now in OTL it was Disney who bought Fox but what if the opposite happened? I'm thinking the merger could happen during the early 1980s when Fox was still making bank off of Star Wars while Disney was struggling. How would this impact both companies and pop culture as a whole?
The Roster of WWE in the Atelier Aviation TL are different too (Such as Chris Benoit, X-Pac, Road Dogg, Steve Austin, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Chyna, Billy Gunn, Albert and more being active longer in WWE up until around the time when Roman Reigns start making dominance. CM Punk is also even more active ITL, unlike OTL where he left the company. Eddie Guerrero lives as he got rid of the drugs so early and The Rock still left the company ITL however)
I will post a roster of WWE wrestlers in Smackdown and RAW around 2010

Dangling in the Wind presents a unique viewpoint on the aftermath of The Planters' Treason of 1854.
The book opens with a young woman watching the hanging of her father, her uncles, her brothers, among others, being hung. Being convicted traitors, their property is distributed to their victims. Ms. Scarlett O'Hara becomes a domestic worker for Isiah Freeman, one of the men endowed with her father's land. She works for years working at Isiah's pleasure and a local factory. Still, Scarlett and her sisters are heavily in debt to Isiah and other endowed freemen.
Isiah is depicted as cruel and overbearing by the author when he offers Scarlett money in exchange for sex, which she accepts. I feel obligated to remind the author that unlike Isiah Scarlett had a choice to say 'no'.
Though in a poignant scene, a pregnant Scarlett contemplates the profound turn her life has took when her family is killed under a tree with a noose around her neck. When the tree branch breaks she views it as Providence wanting to devote herself to the cause of abolition.
After she gives birth to Wade, Scarlett becomes active in the local Widows and Orphans of The South. WOS seemingly gives her purpose. The book ends with Wade becoming a champion of his mother's cause of abolition in the state legislature.
This book is distasteful in my opinion. It presents the "Black Power" theory that men and women who were compensated for the crimes committed against them used their wealth to disadvantage of whites, and purpose that interracial marriages were a result of power imbalance rather than equal partnerships.

Super Mario Unity (2013) & Prince Cream Unity (2014)
Released for the Nintendo-Sony Unity in 2013, this game and its DLC pack was considered by many a saving grace on a console that tended to falter on a regular basis. This game, unlike past Mario 3D adventures, borrows more from the linear nature of the Super Mario World duology on the SNES and later 2D Mario games like the New Super Mario Bros series. Though the level design, compared to OTL's 3D World, generally borrows a bit more from games like Donkey Kong Country.
Super Mario Unity
The game follows Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Princess Daisy as they are enjoying a barbecue under fireworks on a summer's night. Peach's brother, Prince Cream, is also there and enjoying himself as well. However, Daisy soon notices a clear pipe slanting out of the ground, and goes to investigate it with the others. Mario and Luigi fix the pipe, only for a green fairy-like creature to emerge from the pipe among various items. The green creature is a Sprixie Princess, a fairy-like ruler whose sisters have been kidnapped by a Maleficent-like fairy named Cackletta. Thereafter, Cackletta suddenly emerges and traps the Sprixie in a bottle. Peach goes down the pipe trying to stop Cackletta, and the brothers and Daisy follow suit.
The four heroes go through several different worlds, including boss encounters with old foes like Bowser and new ones like Hisstocrat. The group manages to save all seven of the Sprixie Princesses. However, Cackletta captures them again, and takes the Sprixies to World Cackletta, a circus themed world. The four player characters make their way to the end of the world, and confront Cackletta there. However, Cackletta uses the Super Bell power-up to transform into a giant panther which the group must defeat as the final boss. After all is siad and done, the four adults are thanks for their help, and return home via warp pipe. Soon after is the secret world, where the adults travel to space and eventually are joined by Rosalina.
Prince Cream Unity
This DLC Pack was released in 2014 and is focused on Prince Cream, Peach's brother who I detailed elsewhere, because this game was a celebration of his debut in the 1999 PlayStation title Super Mario Ultra 2. This pack stars Cream as he goes across many of the same levels that his sister did, only now with a 100-second timer and stronger versions of the enemies. Joining are the Wario Bros and the RPG character Vivian. The characters also have physics comparable to those of the cast in SMB2. Cream himself is fast but weak, Wario is strong but slow, Waluigi can jump very high, and Vivian can float down. In essence, think OTL's New Super Luigi U.
The plot is relatively simple but slightly involved, it's been a while since the events of the game's first cutscene began. Prince Cream is concerned about his sister and her friends after learning about several of their escapades via telekinetic link with Peach, and wants to try and go out to help them. At first, Toadsworth is apprehensive, but Cream still manages to get him to accompany him anyway. Along the way, they run into Toadette, who explains she is also trying to catch up with her husband Toad and his own treasure quests. Eventually, Wario and Waluigi also agree to join because Cream is "just a kid" and needs further help as an automatic result. Vivian also agrees to join mostly because the Sprixies rule her home.
This pack was very well-received for restoring some limelight on Cream. A character who had largely been neglected since the GameCube era.

This DLC Pack was released in 2014 and is focused on Prince Cream, Peach's brother who I detailed elsewhere, because this game was a celebration of his debut in the 1999 PlayStation title Super Mario Ultra 2. This pack stars Cream as he goes across many of the same levels that his sister did, only now with a 100-second timer and stronger versions of the enemies. Joining are the Wario Bros and the RPG character Vivian. The characters also have physics comparable to those of the cast in SMB2. Cream himself is fast but weak, Wario is strong but slow, Waluigi can jump very high, and Vivian can float down. In essence, think OTL's New Super Luigi U.
The plot is relatively simple but slightly involved, it's been a while since the events of the game's first cutscene began. Prince Cream is concerned about his sister and her friends after learning about several of their escapades via telekinetic link with Peach, and wants to try and go out to help them. At first, Toadsworth is apprehensive, but Cream still manages to get him to accompany him anyway. Along the way, they run into Toadette, who explains she is also trying to catch up with her husband Toad and his own treasure quests. Eventually, Wario and Waluigi also agree to join because Cream is "just a kid" and needs further help as an automatic result. Vivian also agrees to join mostly because the Sprixies rule her home.
This pack was very well-received for restoring some limelight on Cream. A character who had largely been neglected since the GameCube era.

Stranger Things
Stranger Things is a South Korean miniseries trilogy about a group of youths who are forced to overstep their boundaries when one of their friends goes missing. However, as they are doing this, a sinister conspiracy involving the US Military is conducting experiments that result in a strange superdimensional being being unleashed, threatening potentially the entire world and making the problem of a missing friend grow even bigger. In the second part, the youth characters (Who were high schoolers initially) are now in college, but end up in even more trouble as the creature from the first series is returning to their world. The reason for this is a a rogue faction in the government is cooperating with North Korea to open the portal once more as a way to weaponize the realm. A third series is confirmed to be in the works, and is likely to be set somewhere in the North...
OOC: yeah, this was a quick one based off of a prompt: What if Stranger Things was made in South Korea? All I could really come up with was "North Korea replaces the USSR in season 3" and worked off of that.

I think you may have posted on the wrong thread. (Edit nevermind It was I who was on the wrong thread. I thought this was the videogames never made thread)

Disney's The Snow Queen (1986)
"Ever since he came,
He's someone I've wished to meet.
That young boy who lives,
Just across the street."
- "That Boy Across The Street", sun by Gerda (Heather O'Rourke) as the film's first musical number.
"Just let it go,
It's time to rest for now.
And when you're awake again,
You'll see them again somehow."
- The first verse of "Let It Go", sung by Elsa (Paige O'Hara) to her brother Kai (Jason Marsden). Notably, said verse would inspire the beginning of the "In a Snow-Bound Land" track for the ice levels in Diddy's Kong Quest.
"I like quiet but fun.
For my company.
That is why I like reindeer
'Cause there's no people like me."
- "Reindeer and People", the number for the robber girl Anna (Catherine Cavadini) and Bae (Dom Deluise) when Gerda first meets the two. Notably, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Paul McCartney loosely based this song on the Beatles' song "Octopus' Garden"
"Kai? Kai, are you alright?! Speak to me!"
- Elsa (Paige O'Hara) has those words as her first lines in the film. Specifically when she finds her brother Kai having become physically weaker due to the Mirror's effects.
"Seems like things are going to get... interesting."
- Elsa's Advisor Duke Handel (Zero Mostel), in the first of several quotes that build-up to the twist that he is the disguised form of Faraefold
"Darkly ambient, but nonetheless charming and heartwarming when necessary; The Snow Queen is without a doubt one of the finest Disney films of the 1980s."
- Rotten Tomatoes' consensus on The Snow Queen, it said has a 95% approval rating. Making it second only to 1988's Phantom of the Opera in terms of being Don Bluth's highest-rated Disney film.
"What would you say was your favorite performance?"
"If you want my honest opinion, Anna is the best role I have done so far. I enjoyed playing someone as sassy and sharp-tongued as she was in the beginning. But then when she spends more and more time with Gerda, she becomes a lot friendlier and more empathetic towards - everyone really."
- Catherine Cavadini remembering her appearance as Anna, the Robber Girl who helps Gerda find Kai.
"Composing the music I made for this film is probably one of my fondest memories of working with the Walt Disney Company. After Cats, being able to compose in a wider variety of styles felt very refreshing. What helped is that Don Bluth had actually envisioned this film to have numbers to have many different musical styles, so I looked forward to doing something more directly inspired by Joseph after the fun I had with Kate Crackernuts; it at least certainly took my mind off of my father's death."
- Andrew Lloyd Webber in a 2016 interview made to celebrate the film's 30th Anniversary Re-Release in theaters
"When most people ask who felt was the best collaboration between Don Bluth and Andrew Lloyd Webber, most people will say it's Kate Crackernuts, Cats, Sinbad the Sailor, or Phantom of the Opera. Then, there's The Snow Queen, which in my opinion claims the title almost from an objective standpoint."

I forgot to mention, but in my latest idea, Heather O'Rourke's death is butterflied.
