#botw hc

[skeletonsandstars]

Big fan of the hc that Link soft natural colored eyes until the shrine of resurrection turned them the most neon of blues you can imagine

🗣️ huh?? what do you mean I haven’t posted any Link signing propaganda yet??

[kenneduck]

Ahh! Last month my Patreon voted to draw a role reversal Sidlink AU! Where Sidon is the hero and Link is the prince~! Below I have a long yap about what I HC, and why the characters look the way they do!

✨ Linktr.ee | Patreon | Bluesky | Merch Shop ✨

I didn't put Link in Zelda's exact aesthetic when it came to royal design... I kind of liked the idea of him being a more coastal-themed prince!! (I have an ocean-themed bias, but also BOTW Link just REEKS of yearning for the ocean and water people, AHH-) So, while designing I leaned into that, and I thought of a HOPEFULLY enjoyable HC that allows for fun romance plotlines~

In short, to have Sidon be the hero of Hyrule and Link be a royal, I thought of making Link the prince of Zora's Domain! But Zora's Domain being much closer to the coast (thinking Lurelin Village's location, but with Zora's Domain's architecture influences). Sidon is the hero of Hyrule, but a Hyrule castle that too is more similarly themed by Zora's Domain... with the zoras being its main inhabitants. The land of Hyrule is much more heavily connected by rivers, streams, and water-based ventures!

When Princess Yona awakens Sidon from his 100 year sleep, he sets off on this adventure to save Hyrule! Though, once he arrives to the kingdom of Lurelin Village and meets Prince Link, he is pleasantly surprised.

Link in this AU is not a prince of blood, but of position. During the 100 year war, the royal family of Lurelin suffered many losses, causing the bloodline to narrow until only Princess Zelda was left. But, tragically, danger sought her out and ended her life too soon. Which is when Link, her crown guard, became aware that Zelda trusted him with the role of Prince if she were to perish. To promise her to protect their domain.

Link is grief-stricken with Zelda's death, due to his inability to save her from danger. When Sidon helps Lurelin become safe, and takes out the monster that had taken Zelda, Link finds himself deeply grateful, but also... asking to join in on this adventure. Something Sidon is deeply shocked of, but accepts, seeing how Link thrives to end this Calamity to keep the peace of the village he was tasked to do. And well... Sidon quite likes this prince's company! And Link? Well, he seems to want this combatical engagement alongside Sidon to continue... and maybe not just to bring peace to his little kingdom in Hyrule.

(maybe if this concept is liked I can expand in the future!! I do think it's quite cute to spin the aspects of who is the chosen hero vs who is the standing up one! And also, I imagine Sidon's father is alive! But Mipha, she was a guard in Hyrule who had fallen during the calamity 100 years ago. One that Princess Yona mourns... deeply.

Sidon and Link trauma bonding while lookin cute and swimming around Hyrule!!

Something something modern au idk I got tired

They’re very stressed uni students lmao

[demiboydemon]

They’re BOTH in awe of the other’s tism (you cannot convince me Link is ADHD instead of autistic. If anything he is both. Do not hit me with ‘autistic girlfriend & ADHD boyfriend’ nonsense /lh)

[clowns0up-felix]

SCHOOL AU REVISED! 🥳 With #updated designs and character profiles!

*If you don’t already know, this little project (titled Hyrule High: School of the Wild) is part of my final year research. I’ve been given the green light to proceed with this au; the purpose of my research is to study the concept of adaptation in character design. So like if you ever want to read the short comic, let me know!

two timelines

[frickingnerd]

traveling together with link

pairing: link x gn!reader

tags: wholesome fluff, (implied) romantic feelings (link for reader), scared!reader acting tough/fearless, friends to lovers

both you and link had been traveling on your own, before the two of you even met for the first time

one evening, link joined you by your campfire as you rested for the night and the two of you realized you were both traveling hyrule on your own

so, you decided to team up! 

with no concrete destination, your goal was to see as much as you could together! 

during your trips, you often came across enemies or had to hunt for food and link always admired your strength and courage

you were often the one leading the expeditions and walking ahead to clear an area, despite link being plenty capable himself

link genuinely admired you, thinking he had found an equal in you – or maybe even someone who outshined him! 

though one night by the campfire, the two of you were talking and you ended up confessing to link that you weren't as brave as he thought you were

you only pretended to be fearless, hoping that one day you really wouldn't fear anything anymore… 

despite that confession of yours, link refused to change his mind about you! 

doing the things you fear was the definition of being brave! 

if anything, he only admired and loved you more now…

Drew some Zelink based on my AOC/BOTW Sheik Zelda design!! 🌸💕

Romantic Dinner

[c0smoshit]

Hug headcanons!!

⋆ ࣪. ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤 ≫ time, warriors, twilight, wild, sky and sage (totk)

⋆ ࣪. 𝕎𝕒𝕣𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 ≫ don't read if you hate awful amounts of fluff, not proofread!

⋆ ࣪. 𝔸/ℕ ≫ I'm planning on writing more headcanons about not only linked universe but other fandoms, let me know if you like them :))

Time

★ Def wouldn't hug u at first ( he is the princess knight after all )

★ But when he warms up to you, be ready to recieve the biggest hugs ever

★ Would hold your nape, pulling you closer to his neck, letting your arms freely wrap around him

★ Idk but he gives off the vibes of pulling off long hugs, just breathing into you and taking all of you in

"We're ba-"

He didn't even finish his sentence as he felt his breath being violently taken away from his lungs. And when he lowered his eyes to see your head crushed into his chest, he let down his guard.

Some stared at you, others whispered under their breaths and the rest just didn't care. And he didn't either, he enjoyed the warmth you seemed to pass to his cold body, pressing your front closer to him as a hidden grin painted itself on his lips.

But he was happy to be back with the rest of the group, and he ceirtanly wasn't the only one.

Warriors

★ This cocky mf acts like he doesn't care if you hug him, but he is dying inside

★ He finally got to feel you closer to him, and he would kill to have you this close once again

★ And that's a win win

★ Expect some unexpected bone-crushing hugs after your first one as he has already taken the clue that you weren't uncomfortable

★ This boy is desesperate

"I'm alright, I'm alright"

He then patted your back, his other arm still grabbing his sword. Although you couldn't see it, he had a huge smirk plastered on his face that soon would be pried off his face.

"Oh? Alright then"

Your teasing tone never failed to leave him blushing under his cocky facade, so when you pried yourself off his chest mimicking his smirk he was so confused.

Your back was soon turned to him and he wished he hadn't opened up his mouth in the first place.

"Wait-"

Twilight

★ He literally can transform himself into a wolf so expect the warmest hugs ever

★ He would always try to be as close as you as possible, always using some excuses as if to lend you his hand whenever you had to climb something, shield ready to protect you from any attack

★ The fur he has on his tunic doubles up cozy points ;)

★ He would definitely be the type to cuddle anywhere right after you gave him a small hug

"You're freezing, y/n"

Your eyes found his own ones, bathed in the comfortable hues of orange that the makeshift fire was able to emit. You tried to nod it off, telling him that you were okay, but he saw the way you were trembling under your clothes.

"Come here"

In just two words he got you entirely over him, the moment he opened up his tunic for you to sit on his lap as he tried to warm both of you up, you were at his complete mercy.

"Much better"

Your muttered out words made his heart ache, seeing your form clinging into him as you hid your face on his neck was definitely something else. His surprisingly hot hands soon travelled to your back drawing soothing circles into your skin.

Wild

★ He goes absolutely mad

★ The moment you wrap your arms around him he is absolutely at your mercy

★ He could spent days with you clinging on him, and he surely would cling onto you all day long

★ He would and will give you surprise hugs, whenever you are doing some tasks outside or just whenever your back is facing him

★ Absolutely adores teasing you ;)

Your loud shriek filled the whole inn you guys stopped by to rest.

The reason?

A sneaky bastard that happened to wrap his arms around your waist and lift you up in the air. Thanks to the corner of your eye, you could see his characteristic blue tunic, so you were a bit less spooked out.

"Link!"

His chuckle mixed with the soft sway of the afternoon leafs were the only thing that filled up your mind now. That and his strong arms placing you back down on the ground, your hands holding them for dear life as you felt his face smashed on your shoulder.

He really acted like an hyperactive puppy

Sky

★ Okay so this man, sleep

★ Loves, loves, loves deep and prolonged hugs. He feels as if you were a blanket surrounding his body.

★ So whenever he had to share a room with you in a inn or something he would "accidentaly" book one with only one bed available

★ wink wink

★ And god, the way he cuddles 10/10, would recommend

His legs were a mess mixed with your own ones, your nose pressed into his collarbone as he snored peacefully into the dawn. His arms secured you by your back with a force you didn't even know where it came from since he was asleep.

You didn't notice the way he had enveloped your body with his own one but you were too tired to care. Happily snuggling into his neck as you enjoyed this restful moment.

Looking up into his face before your weary eyes closed themselves, you saw the most serene expression you had ever seen on anyone before.

The perfect cuddle buddy

Sage

★ I see him as a more chill version of Wild

★ Always ready to recieve and give the greatest hugs you or he could give

★ Would literally think you hate him if one day you forgot to hug him before waving him goodbye

★ Adores being as close to you as possible, listening to your endless anecdotes

"Hey there"

Your soft voice never failed to make him weak on the knees, arms wrapping themselves around your waist as he looked over your shoulder to whatever food you were making.

Silence fell over the room, just both of your mixed breaths and the sonorous sound of your knife chopping some vegetables.

He would often whine when you had to move from your spot, reaching some other utensil. He also weighed heavier as his body would slump into yours, snoozing into nirvana on your shoulder.

He never failed to make you feel so cheerily dumb

saw a very very good post on how botw zelda should have been transmasc and i agree with all the points BUT . i also think it's incredibly fun if she is transfem and part of her story is denial that she is a true daughter of hylia because she can't access her sealing powers and after botw she becomes more secure in her identity
