AWKWARD ZOMBIE

You know the cursed stature in BOTW? You know, the one that swaps your health and stamina?
What does he even do with the rupees you give him? A comic could be:
Link makes a deal with the cursed statue, before giving it (him?) the rupees he asks "what do you even do with the rupees?"
And then it pans to something
IDK
What do statues do

Breath of the Wild. Final battle with Ganon... and he steps on that lady's flowers. The comic ends with Ganon at 1 hp.

Spray Panned:
Katie tries to train a Pokemon to use a man-made healing item in battle. It just manages to spray itself in the eyes.

Definitely gotta do something involving the crazy flower lady from Breath of the Wild. Here's my lousy idea:

Wrath of the Wild
Panel 1
A Guardian tramples on some flowers.

Panel 2
Magda appears. "No! You must not hurt the flowers! They are screaming out in PAIN!"

Panel 3
Guardian shoots laser beam at flowers, setting them on fire. Magda looks on horrified.

Panel 4
Magda rolls up sleeves, and stares intently at Guardian as it scuttles away. "I will make you understand the flowers rage..."

Panel 5
Magda charges at the Guardian.

Panel 6
Cut to Magda whistling as she cheerfully plants new flowers.

Panel 7
Flowers are revealed to have been planted in an upturned guardian being used as a flower pot.

Final Fantasy VIII

Panel 1: Quistis gets permission to start a cooking club at the Garden
Panel 2: The infirmary is filled with sick kids.
Panel 3: Quistis is either pleasantly enjoying a meal of Marlboro Tentacle Soup and Dark Matter Pie, or is upset over hearing the news of her club being cancelled in a room filled with such questionable meals.

I was going to suggest some Horizon Zero Dawn comics but there's no way Katie will be playing that over a new Zelda game.

Vejtabul/Garlic Gunned Down/Green Massacre/Crude Diet:
Link discovers that the reason that all of his cooking ingredients are bouncing in the cookpot is because they're sentient like many of the plants in the Zeldaverse.

Pokeman Go:
Trainer Katie eats a Pidgey Candy. Another trainer sees her later and freaks out. Katie places hand in front of her beak to see if her breath offends.

Wonka-ed:
Trainer Katie brings a Pokemon in for transferring to the Professor. Willow brings out some equipment.
KATIE: "You uh...don't turn the Pokemon into Candy, do you?"
WILLOW: " Of course not. I run a tagging and vaccination program."
The professor gives the Pokemon a shot and a Berry. Lets it go.
KATIE: "Oh. That's a relief. Where do you get the Candy?"
Willow Sparta kicks Katie into a throttling grinder. A spray of candies shoots out.
WILLOW: "From nosey Trainers."

Mass Effect: Andromeda

Panel 1: Ryder and Liam on the first planet, after the crash.
Liam: "Alright Ryder, let's get through this and find the others!"
Ryder: *looking at scanner on wrist*

Panels thereafter involve Ryder scanning -everything- as Liam gets progressively more frustrated/desperate/fighting Kett.

Please Pokestop Doing That:
Katie gets to a restaurant and realizes it's a Pokestop. Spins the picture causing the building to spin. Joke works whether she's outside the building or in it. Possibly realizes what she's doing when her phone shows people being tossed from the wheel instead of items.

Keyholed:
Link solves a puzzle or defeats a mini-boss. Boss Key falls from the ceiling and pins him to the ground.

When Legend Met Link/One Legend, One Link/When Zelda Met Link:
Elaborate head canon joke for their initial meeting. Long, elaborate, unnecessary.
Link defeats Ganon and frees Zelda from her prison.
ZELDA: "Thank you, Gallant Soldiers...wait...where's everyone else?"
LINK: "Everyone else, ma'am?"
ZELDA: "Were you the only survivor of the rescue squad?"
LINK: "Squad, ma'am? They only sent me."
ZELDA: "There were eight dungeons!! Protected by multiple layers of security! Why would they send only ONE knight to do all that?"
LINK: "Not ummm...not a knight ma'am."
ZELDA: "Guard? Mercenary? Prince of a distant realm?"
LINK: "Not royalty, ma'am."
ZELDA: "Stop calling me that. No noble blood? Fine. Good. Got any scars?"
Link is fairly beat up from his quest.
LINK: "Yes, Princess."
ZELDA: "Piercings, tattoos?"
LINK: "I umm...have my ears pierced. The Triforce is branded on my hand."
ZELDA: "In a band?"
LINK: "I can play the Ocarina."
ZELDA: "Awesome. Daddy will despise you. We're eloping."
LINK: "What?! I was just supposed to rescue you..."
ZELDA: "No. Father and his overpaid army of elaborately equipped soldiers were supposed to rescue me from evil incarnate. So now I'm bringing home a ruffian. That's what he gets for not bothering."
LINK: "I think it was out of his hands, your Highness. Destiny picked me for the job."
ZELDA: "Unless Destiny is the name of my father's new grand vizier, I really don't buy it. Chapel, now. Name?"
LINK: "Link."
Zelda grabs him by the arm and drags him away.

Fight Food:
Link tries eating in the middle of a fight. Enemy won't stop trying to stab him, so he spits the food in its eye, stabs it with a fork and is later shown eating the enemy.

Trainer Katie is sick of getting poor results from Poké Finder pictures because all anybody wants is for the pokemon to be centred and as zoomed-in as possible.
She starts using a cropping tool and gets showered in fame and glory.

Pokemon Kart:
Katie is playing Pokemon Go as a passenger. She's driven past several Gyms quickly, but manages to assign Pokemon to them as she passes. We see a Gyarados, Rhydon, and Donphan tossed out the car as it speeds away.

Ko-rock Collector
Link finds a Korok under a rock
Everytime he sees a rock now he picks it up to try to find a Korok, only to find rupees or lizards
After picking up all the rocks on the ground someone mentions that sometimes there are rocks in trees
Link stares with his eye twitching a bit
cut to burning forest as Link stands next to a Korok
"Yahaha, you found me!"
Link's Korok seed count ticks up to 25 and he sighs

How else would statues clean off all that bird poop?

Sonic Zeroes/Not a Pokey Man/Sonic Run/Gotta Pokemon Go Fast:
We see someone trying to play Pokemon Go. They can't get any eggs to hatch no matter how much they move. We see gloved hands on the phone screen and the "I'm a Passenger" warning keep coming up. Turns out it's Sonic the Hedgehog.

Escapade:
The cast of Smash go out for casual fun and try an Escape Room. Link and/or Samus ruin the fun by using explosives to escape. Possible setup has Link's sword stabbing through a wall as he tests for a weak point, being followed by an explosion

I think statue wants essence.
By buying essence low and selling essence high, he can afford to buy more essence from strangers.
At least that's how I interpreted it.

The real question is, how is Hylia communicating with you as a statue? Didn't she permanently become human?
