Princess Zelda21
I'm sorry for not replying sooner! You're right Kairi, there's a lot of things I still need to think about and try to include in my crossover story. Thank you very much for your assistance here with the Legend of Zelda part in my thread. I seem to be enjoying discussing this and the Sailor Moon series with you and the others who have also posted here by far.
Hey, thanks for getting back to me and glad to hear you're still working on it. ^.^ I'm happy my last post was useful to you.

Hmm, let's see, Link, Zelda, Impa and the king will be in it by far. For the general landscape, I'll be using the map from the Gamecube version of "Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess." The setting in general takes place after the Twilight Wars, so it will be a time of peace in Hyrule.
It might be worth noting that Impa or any mention of the Sheikah race (that I can remember) doesn't appear in Twilight Princess or Four Swords Adventure. This might imply that they died out during this timeline, though it doesn't directly say that in the Historia. Just thought I mention it. You could still use an Impa - I wouldn't have a problem with it since a long line of Impas had worked in the family before that and so the name could still be commonly used. I don't know if you could make her a Sheikah though, unless you decide to come with a reason as to why they were missing from Twilight Princess, which could be interesting.
On the other hand, you could also use the opportunity to fill in the position of Nursemaid/personal caretaker and protector/royal guard captain with an original character, perhaps from the Sailor Moon verse. In fact, you might even consider that position for your main character, since I think you mentioned that she lived/worked in the castle or something. An order from Princess Zelda herself could result in her traveling Hyrule on an adventure. Just a thought.
(If you already had and idea for her position and you went over this in the thread, I apologize. It's been a while since I looked at this topic and while I scanned over it as a quick review, I could easily be missing details.

How long after Twilight Princess is this story going to be set? If it's right after the game, using the same Link and Zelda, then I don't think there would be King since it sort of implies that Zelda was the sole royal family member during the game. If it's a couple generations, then a King could be had but you'll have to consider whether your Link is related to TP Link since this might affect what job he currently has and whether he still has a relationship with the royal family. You'll also have to consider whether Link is going to play any role in the story or if he's just going to be a simple bystander this time around, holding little more than a cameo appearance. Either could work.

I'm still currently trying to figure out how each of the Sailor Senshi make their appearance in Hyrule, since my original character will encounter them along her journey, along with one other original character who happens to also be a Sailor Senshi as an angel. Each of the Sailor Senshi will make an appearance in a different location within Hyrule. (Yes, I did get permission to use the original angel Sailor Senshi character from the original owner for my Legend of Zelda/Sailor Moon crossover story.)
In Four Swords Adventure, the game after Twilight Princess in the timeline, there are six sacred/magical maidens throughout the kingdom that you must save. I know that there are more than six Sailor Scouts but I think it'd be cool if you tried to link the Sailor Scouts' appearances after the Twilight Wars to those six girls in the future. I don't have any specific ideas for that at the moment, but it's at least something to consider. (Just as a note, several hundred years span the time between Twilight Princess and Four Swords Adventures, so the link between the six maidens and the Sailor Scouts may turn out to be extremely minor at best depending on how soon after the Twilight Wars this happens.)
It really depends on how the Sailor Scouts got there - or if they were there already - and why. What purpose were you hoping that the Sailor Scouts would serve for your female MC in the story? Were they going to unlock her powers as a Sailor Scout or serve as guides of some sort? Or is it her mission to find these Sailor Scouts in order to recruit their help to defeat the enemy/problem she's trying to fix? Or does she meet one in the beginning of the story and is working to help her reunite with her friends and return home, in turn serving as a guide for them rather than the other way around? (Again, if you answered this in the thread, sorry! I wanted to respond to you quickly so I skimmed.)

As for other villains, I haven't decided yet. I still don't have a name for the demon prince though. I do have a question. Could you give me a few examples of some qualities the demon prince might admire about the girl and why, some he might dislike and possibly some that could be present in him? I'm a bit stuck at the moment to be honest. ^_^*
Well, Ganon is officially killed by Link in Twilight Princess (although he's reborn again in Four Swords Adventure, but again that's hundreds of years later). But Vaati and the Four Sword should still be around somewhere, if you want to you use them. Or you could borrow a villain from the Sailor Scout universe, your demon boy's universe, or completely make up your own Hyrule villain based on preexisting ones. If you're just looking for conflicts along the journey, then simple monsters or using a series of antagonists rather than villains should do (although monsters usually only appear in Hyrule when there's a great evil haunting the land or a leak to an alternate dimension such as the demon world, twilight realm, corrupted sacred realm, dark world, etc.).
It'd be a lot easier making conflicts if you expanded on what your characters will actually be doing during the story. What's the actual plot - the big conflict - the goal that your girl is out to achieve? If I know that, I'd be able to give better ideas on what kind of villains, conflicts, and obstacles would be well suited for the story (including ideas for your demon prince). If you don't know yet, that's alright.
I don't have any ideas off the top of my head for the demon prince's name. Are you basing his background or culture off a real-world culture? Try looking up name lists for a particular culture or language. There are some name sites that even allow you to search for names by meaning, which would work perfectly fine in the crossover considering a lot of the Sailor Scouts and Hyrule characters were named simply after their role in the story or characterization. Ex: Hyrule: Navi = Navigator, Link = link between player and game, Midna = sounds a little like Midnight, and then there's the guy literally known as the Happy Mask Salesman. Ex: Sailor Moon: Usagi means bunny and was thus named due to her hair and rabbits being associated with the moon. Many of the villains also carry names signifying the current arc's theme, such as the guys named after the stones Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite.
As for examples of qualities... well in your previous posts you described him as rebellious, stubborn, and overprotective. Stubborn people have a hard time getting along with other stubborn people since they aren't inclined to give up or give in. If your girl is stubborn as well, that could be one thing they both find frustrating about each other. However, since he himself is rebellious towards authority, he might find those that easily submit to be weak. So even though he may get frustrated about not getting his way, he might also admire the fact that she's willing to stand up for herself. There's honestly a million and one ways you could come up with for the two to get along/not get along but hopefully that gives you an idea of how their personalities could fit into it.
There's also habits, customs, traditions, social norms, and hobbies that each have which could affect how they interact, react, or think of each other. He's a demon, but what does being a demon entail? I'm sure your girl would find it disgusting and unacceptable if he were to drink blood or eat raw meat for example. What about the other way around - what would humans eat that he might find unacceptable as sustenance? Pumpkins, fish, and milk seem like food staples throughout the Zelda series, but what if he refuses to eat any of that because it's commoner food or if he literally can't digest such products? What would your girl think of his pickiness?
An even better example: cuccos. What would happen if the demon prince looked at a cucco and thought 'oh, food!' while the girl at the same time thought 'oh, an animal we better respect lest we be damned to an eternal hell of feathery punishment'? Boom, conflict of interest. They're hungry, the girl knows better being from Hyrule but the boy dismisses her concerns as foolish because he's stubborn and rebellious so attacks the seemingly defenseless animal and promptly gets his butt handed to him by a flock of angry, godlike chickens. This might humble him slightly and perhaps listen to the girl more in the future since she was right. Bonus points if the girl finds a way to save him before the punishment gets too severe. (If you want to save your prince from physical harm and simultaneously follow Twilight Princess's mechanics closer, you can have the demon prince temporarily turn into a cucco instead. Wouldn't that be fun? lol I'm sure he'd learn a little more respect then.)
Hope this helped to at least get your creative flow going again. I'd love to help more, if you still want/need it. But if you don't mind, could you PM me or make a master post on here explaining everything that you have the for the story and characters so far so I can get a better idea of what you're going for here? It's okay if you feel uncomfortable giving out that much information about your project, but it'd really help if I had a better idea of what you have come up with and already have in mind for the plot/characters.
