While the Rebuild the Wild supplement offers a variety of new Buildings and Amenities for Heroes to outfit their towns with, there’s one critical piece of Zelda architecture that it’s been missing: the Pedestal.

Pedestals have been a part of Zelda lore since Link to the Past placed their hallowed new creation, the Master Sword, on one. Since then, Pedestals have served a variety of magical purposes: protecting and sealing artifacts of immense power, acting as focal points for potent Magical Songs, or serving as a lock to be opened by some key object.

Until now, Heroes have been unable to create their own Pedestals. With this new Building type, though, you can now cement your own legends for future generations.

Today, we’ve got a quick bit of homebrew, inspired by my players’ actions just the other day: Holiday Lights!

In my Reclaim the Wild campaign, I ran a short sidequest-type adventure, where the players had to save a modern-day town from repeating Christmas every day, caused by an enchanted snowglobe. During that adventure, as the Heroes fled from the roof of a mansion that once held the ensorcelling snowglobe, one of them used a string of electric lights as a makeshift rope to rappel down the manse’s masonry. Both they and I were delighted with this bit of MacGuyver-esque tomfoolery, and the Hero kept the string of lights after the adventure (as well as the other holiday gifts they earned for saving the town).

Of course, now that one of my players has a string of lights, I need to decide exactly what they do, and how they work. And if one Hero wants a string of lights, perhaps others will, too – either for their own bungled burglings, or just to decorate their homes and towns.
