#master of winds (Toon Link)

[johnlauxillus]

Last year I wanted to make a christmas/holiday card but I wasn't sure what to put on it, so I just drew a bunch of my favorite characters. Also it ended up being a few weeks late. - From 2023

[loveballastro]

My birthday was like 10 days ago but I don't care. I wanted to share the art I got with my silly little family. I'm not actually 22 but Astro is 21 ........... The Links are so cute I'll cry.

Last one is mine.

The Chains Ages in Linked Universe.

I saw people talking about the Chains age in Linked Universe, and I have my thoughts on them.

I've done a LOT of research on the Links and how old they were, I even tried to figure out how long Legend was in Koholint for. (We go with old Canon because new Canon doesn't make since,(Footnote 1) but basically that's the last time we see Legend in normal Zelda Canon)

Anyways-

This is from Jojo's QnA doc on the Linked Universe Discord- ^^^

And this is my thoughts on their ages. Side note, I'm not going off of looking up their ages through google, I'm going off info you can find in game and cross referencing it with other games and the Hyrule Historia and Encyclopedia. Time was 9 in his game and that's about 20 years later so he would be 29. (Unless if we counting Majora's Mask, then he could be 30-32)

Twilight was a "Late Teen" (Also it does state hold old he is) so 17 making him 21 to 22.

Warriors is also "Late Teen" (He was a trainee at the beginning of the war) making him 22 to 26

Sky is also stated to be around 17 making him 18 to 19

Wild is 117 and this would make him either almost 118 or just turned 118.

Legend just became "Of age" in ALBW and that's 16 in his era making 17.

Hyrule we know is 16 making him 18.

Four is 15 or 16 in Four Sword, but he isn't "Of age" so probably 15. making him 17.

And we know Wind is 13 almost 14. (He said it himself)

I just find it very funny the Toons are the youngests. Age explanation and footnotes below cut.

Time - He is 9 at the beginning of his game and becomes an "Adult" 7 years later at 16. This is one of the times it proves that 16 is "Of age" in the Zelda series. We aren't sure how much time has passed between Oot and MM, so we can guess he's 29 to 32 (Making Link in MM 10 to 12 as a good guess.)

Twilight - It's stated in a guide that he is 17. His game also was originally supposed to be a continuation of Oot and MM in the Wind Waker style, with Time all grown up and living on his own. But they changed it to what it is now. So it's just 17+4 or 5 making him 21 to 22.

Warriors - There is no official age and you do NOT need to be 17 to wield the master sword. All we know is that he's "Late Teens" making him between 16 to 19. Making his age in LU between 22 to 26.

Sky - He is stated to be around 17. Making him 18 or 19 (Even if we say he's 16, then he would be 17 to 19.)

Wild - he is 117 years old. We know this. it's been "Less than a year" so he could be almost 118 or already be 118, he probably doesn't remember his Birthday, so there is no saying exactly. (His Zelda should know though. Maybe.)

Legend - SO. I feel like people are gonna fight me on this, but I got the math and hours of research to back it. At the beginning of ALTTP, some guards say that Link shouldn't be out here or that he's too young to wield a sword (Or even start learning to) In BOTW Wild got the Master Sword at 12-13. And people said he was still very young and a prodigy, which means he was already learning the sword by that time. and we also know that in BOTW they think of "Of Age" as 17 instead of 16, meaning they probably make them learn stuff when they are a little older. There's also the connection to Oot, In Wind Waker its stated that Wind is the same age as Time when he Defeated Ganon (Making Wind Canonically 16) And Twilight is the age of what Time should have been when he decided to settle down, making him 17, which leaves us with Legend's age. Most likely taking Times age from the beginning of his game. LONG STORY SHORT- In ALTTP Link is between 9 to 10. NOW. The Oracle games, Link is still a CHILD, so before "Of Age" (Aka less than 16) A LOT of people call him a CHILD and wonder why he has a sword! making him most likely around 11 or 12. Same things with Link's Awakening. (FOOTNOTE 1). Then we have ALBW. Link has a job now and is learning to become a smith. so most likely after his return home, as well as he needs to learn this stuff before becoming a full adult, but then again he lives alone, so we could accurately say 15 to 16. SO LONGER STORY SHORT. We can say 16 and be GENEROUS. Making Legend 17 in LU (but probably closer to 16).

Hyrule - It's literally a plot in his game he is 16, making him 18 in LU.

Four - He is a Child in Minish Cap (So less than 16) and same with Four Swords. He has to be older than 12 because he was given a sword willingly. So between 13 to 15, but we can be nice and say 15 in Four Swords, making him 17 in LU.

Wind -

I do want to say, it's literally stated in his game he is the same age as Time when he KILLED Ganon as an ADULT. It's just the art style of the game.... He JUST turned 16, so people are still calling him a child. (Like how people call 18 year olds children in rl) But also he does look 12 in game... ART STYLE WHYYYYYY (also thats what Twi was supposed to look like lmaoooo)

---

FOOTNOTE 1 - The Encylapedia has wrong information that's easy to disprove and I want to throw it out a window. It also switched the order of the Oracle games and Link's Awakening, even though Oracle of Ages LITERALLY ENDS With Link taking the boat out to sea to head home, and LITERALLY Transitions to Link's Awakenings Opening. ITS THE SAME BOAT. I'm Gonna Cry- NINTENDO WHYYYYY.

The Magic Behind Toon Link’s Iconic Cartoon Style 🎨🗡️

🌊✨ Hey Zelda fans! ✨🌊

I just have to gush about one of my all-time favorite video game characters: Toon Link from The Legend of Zelda series! 🎮💚

🌟 Who is Toon Link? 🌟

Toon Link is the “cartoon” incarnation of Link, first introduced in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. He’s known for his expressive, chibi-style design, with big eyes and exaggerated emotions that make every adventure feel vibrant and alive. This version of Link is younger, usually around 12 years old, and his personality is a delightful mix of courage, curiosity, and a little bit of mischief.

🎨 Art Style Magic: Cel-Shading & Chibi Power 🎨

The art style that defines Toon Link is called cel-shading-think bold outlines and bright, flat colors, like a living cartoon or comic book. The character designs are “chibi,” meaning super-deformed with oversized heads and eyes, which only adds to his charm. This wasn’t just a cosmetic choice: the stylized look makes the world feel more whimsical, and lets characters (and especially Toon Link) show emotions in ways that would be impossible with a more realistic style.

⚔️ Hero of Winds: Why I Love Him ⚔️

Expressive & Relatable: Toon Link’s exaggerated reactions-whether he’s shocked, happy, or determined-make him so relatable and fun to watch.

Gameplay Perks: His agility and floaty jumps make him a blast to play, especially in games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where he’s actually the highest ranking Link in the game’s tier list!

Legacy: Despite initial controversy, Toon Link’s style became beloved and influenced several other Zelda titles, proving that bold artistic choices can become iconic.

🚢 Adventures Beyond the Sea 🚢

Toon Link isn’t just about looks-he’s the Hero of Winds, sailing the Great Sea, solving puzzles, and saving the world with his trusty Master Sword and shield. He’s shown up in Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and even as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. with unique moves and costumes that reference his many adventures.

💬 Final Thoughts 💬

Toon Link will always have a special place in my heart. His design, personality, and adventures bring a fresh, joyful energy to the Zelda universe. Whether you love him for his expressive face, his epic sea voyages, or his slick moves in Smash, Toon Link proves that sometimes, a bold new look is exactly what a legendary hero needs.

Thanks for reading my little Toon Link appreciation post! 💚🌊 If you’re a fan too, let’s chat-what’s your favorite Toon Link moment?

See you on the Great Sea! ⛵

FINALLY THE ANALYSIS POST I SWEAR I DIDN'T FORGET AGAIN!!!!!

ohhh i have so many thoughs my brain is fully working (not really but !!! love these boys)

Alr will divide this between Central Room pt.2 and pt.3 so. yeah.

Central room pt.2

first off:

I've checked the past updates, i dont know exactly if they say it explicitly or i just missed where they do so, but i want to talk about how Wild and Four have different ideas about this:

Four is worried about Twilight, the man just came out of a lethal situation, and still keeps pushing himself up without letting his body rest more than necessary. Yes he might have regained most of his strength, but what if there was something still wrong?

Wild on the other hand is happy that his brother is back, that he is still able to come out of a dangerous situation and walk. Maybe Twilight had told him some stories of his adventure, telling him how he recovered from near-death situations. This is just another one of these that will become another story, and will not be the last. Wild trust him to keep going, to keep fighting, this divine beast will not fall so easily and he knows it

I also wanted to talk a little about this one, Four is still unhappy about Twi using dark magic, he hasn't directly adressed him about this, but maybe he's planning of doing so in the future. Also the small mention of the colors and how Wild is the only one who knows his ability, love his expression truly one of the toon links

BEFORE I FORGET! "I know how divided one can get—I've seen it" there's a high chance that he's talking about Vaati, a minish that ended up transforming into a dangerous monster, nothing left of who he was before and being seen as two completely different entities

Again, Wild trusts that Twilight will keep going, will grow old and somehow get to his era, and also has a big respect of his strength. He doesn't like seeing the others threating the rancher like a cracked glass, he is still fully able to contain the water and not fall in a million pieces

Wind in the past was the one who fell victim of the chain worrying about him, including Wild. He learned from their sailor, he recognizes when someone is being overprotective beacuse he himself has done it. Wind is fully capable of dealing with a fight, so is Twilight

I'm sorry i even translated this to spanish to see if i could understand it better but im still so confused. Time what. I love when he talks in a cryptic way but man i am doing an analysis you are not helping with my case. Love that Wild and Four look as confused as i am right now, glad to see that they didn't get it either

Four had already suggested the option of splitting into groups in the past, maybe Time decided to decline at the moment because he believed that it was best to stay all together. Warriors is a captain, he had commanded hundreds of soldiers into the battlefield, even if he had zero dungeon experience he knows how to dealt with groups, and he's going to the technical side here (also love these pannels so much glad to see how the fandom decided to make this its new fav meme format jksdfjsdk)

Warriors believes that it's better to put first the opportunity to search for the shadow in groups to cover more terrain than defense, also that he doubts that a group would be able to maneuver with the limited space, this being proved with the Skulltula from past updates. But Time believes otherwise, putting first the safety of the group and that while they're together they will protect each other more easily

He shares the worry that Time has for Twilight, he wants to make sure that his friend is safe too, but he also searches for the tactical and what is best for their mission

Now that we know the groups from the latest update, these pannels do even more sense

Time knows how strong Sky is, he's their best swordman, and on top of that he carries the only thing aside from Twilight that really terrifies the shadow: the Master Storm. While Twi is with him, he will be safe

Dink is still weakened, they have the opportunity to attack it while it doesn't have its full strength. Twilight recognizes that he had a really good recovering, for a normal hylian it would have been really hard to gain their full strength in the same time that Twi did, but he's not normal hylian, together with Hyrule's magic. In less words, he got to be luckier than Dink

if i had a nickel every time that Hyrule was as fast and did the exact thing as someone else i would have two nickels, which isn't much but its curious that it has happened already twice. hmm.

just wanted to point at these designs, beautiful i love items redesigns

the sillies i love them, im sorry leg and rulie but no more magic boomerang privileges for you two, also love how Four slaps his knee, hell yeah he definitely is a knee slapper while laughing

HIS BUDDY!!! still losing it over how Hyrule calls Wild his buddy, theyre buddies your honor

also love how they seem to ressort on Wild when it comes to climbing, he's like a gecko for them. Although he's not a gecko and can't go exactly for your magic boomerang, sorry rulie

Alr finally finished with this one now with the second part

Central room pt.3

Its really short and i really hope that i haven't hit the img limit yet lol

we start with: Legend and Hyrule still looking mad at them losing their magic boomerangs, no deep thoughs abt it i haven't seen anyone point this pannel out and i find it really funny kdfjsk

Wars seemed ready to go next to Twilight, really expecting Time to put them together. I remember someone pointing out how Warriors was starting to get hit with the stress and emotions from when Twilight was about to die (i think it was @/crazylittlejester who talked about this) so cmon captain accept that you care for your brother as much as everyone else

I love Sky's reaction, hell yeah man best reaction ever 👍

jokes aside Warriors was obviously going to be next to Twilight, that's why he looks a little surprised with this decision from Time, and maybe that's also why he's directly looking at the rancher

I love how Legend seems nervous, yes Time recognizes his experience and abilities but also reminds him that he needs to take this seriously. Also he's being hit with The Stare™, love it

We don't know what else these both talked, but before jumping into any conclusion i'll go with the technical explanation

Having two leaders in one same group will give some problems, mostly with letting one group in desadvantage. See it like this: Legend and Hyrule have really good experience and are capable of dealing with the dungeon by themselves, Sky and Twilight too, leaving Wind, Four, Wild, Time and Warriors. They can't go with Wind, Four and Wild being one of the teams, Wind and Four are experienced, they would teach Wild how to do things, but none of them has qualities to guide them, maybe a little Four, but lets remember how chaotic are his games in teamwork. With Time going with them they can organize themselves so much better, and even if Wars doesn't know anything about dungeons, he knows how to do things using teamwork. Also i want to remind you all that Wild does know a little about dungeons, sure not the traditional ones but all the shrine puzzles has to count for something right? So he at least has the basics, i see so much Wild slander and i cant let you all forget that my boy is also puzzle smart!... in his own way

Also i love the detail that in reality all the teams are designed to be with their game's/first game's release dates order, Jojo thats amazing attention to detail

Wind i love you so much yes he's older sibling energy but also youngest sibling energy at the same time and thats wonderful

Not much to comment here, all the things that i wanted to say i already said them sooo

Only thing: Wild and Wars still haven't talked about when he didn't listen to him while fighting Dink

also WWW trio yessss

love the toon links theyre an underated duo

Wind and Time are also a duo that i love seeing, he's really soft on the kid good thing that he doesn't play favorites /j

no fav pannels today cuz i am this close >< to hit img limit lol but yeah art as always very tasty the dungeon design is still something that im really impressed

as always credits towards @linkeduniverse, i really wanted to talk about this update!

first started like a whole essay and ended up more just commenting skjfdkj but yeah i enjoyed this very much

[alasse-earfalas]

What if Wars has a hidden ability?

What if Warriors (and, by extension, AoC Link) has some sort of charisma-based magic ability in battle that buffs all allies into their Hyrule Warriors form? So Wind becomes HW Toon Link, Wild gets all the abilities of AoC Link, Time can use the FD mask as much as he wants without consequences, Fi can separate from the Master Sword and fight alongside Sky, etc. 

And Wars doesn’t know that he has this ability. 

It doesn’t activate during small skirmishes, like what we’ve seen in LU so far, but only in battles on the scale of what’s shown in HW. It’s why his allies can keep pace with him, even those with previously no combat experience or ability. It’s the Hero’s Spirit magnified and shared with all of them. And it operates completely outside of his awareness.

Which would mean that the War of Ages (and the Great Calamity) was so big and so severe, that it took many Hero-caliber fighters (in addition to a butt-ton of troops) to face and overcome the threat. Perhaps this ability is also what allows each ally to communicate and coordinate across a battlefield. No one notices in the moment because of the adrenaline rush (and possibly magic).

Once the Hero buff is active on an ally, it remains active even when they're on a completely different battlefield, and it can spread from those buffed to new allies. In this way, new allies can receive the Hero buff without Wars himself having to be there.

So not only is Warriors an accomplished soldier and a Hero, but he's also an unknowing one-man recruiting arm and full-army buff giver.

Gosh what happens if Player somehow falls into Smash and the boys, not wanting to lose Player to another portal, jump in after them, and they all land in the middle of match between ganondorf and one of the Links.

They stance up only for Ganon and whichever Link it is to be like “whoa hold on there!”

They all get to explore smash and all of the weird creatures running up and down the halls, and villains who are just casually chatting with the hero’s in some sort of lobby or hotel room, there are other princesses chatting it up with Zelda, there is a copy of Wild who Player can’t tell the difference between and our Wild gets jealous, while Time has war flashbacks seeing his younger self and Wind and his counterpart scowl at each other.

There are gods and angels just milling about like they aren’t powerful, legendary creatures, shirtless fighters drinking smoothies, young children talking about how they beat up full grown men in combat, aliens, and whatever the fuck Mr. Game and Watch is. It’s chaos.

BB HERE ASKING THE GOOD QUESTIONS!!!

This actually reminds me of a comic I really like depicting what the Smash House is like PIUFGBPI SO THEY ALL DEFINITELY HAVE A SHARED HOUSE!!!

Just want to say Wind and his Toon Self definitely fighting it out IPUFGPDF THOSE TWO WOULD GO FOR EACH OTHERS THROATS!!! You've got Mask glaring up at Time with a "Ew, I got old." because that mother fucker is a menace. That's all.

Then you got Player beefing with Master Hand outside while the Links are gently explained to why Ganon is fine and you don't need to fight him.

"THAT'S RIGHT YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!! I'M COMING FOR YOU AND I'M GONNA GIVE YOU ARTHRITIS!!! CARPAL TUNNEL YOU BASTARD!!!" You got Mario and Sonic trying to drag them in

[fever-project]

Hyrule Warriors & LU

Okay, so this whole thing is fueled by my desire to see HW stuff not only in relation to LU, but also in general.

I mostly see just Warriors, young Time, and Wind in these stories, with very brief mentions to other characters, mainly just Ravio, Midna, Marin, HW Zelda, and Impa. Don’t get me wrong, I love these characters, but there is a whole roster of other guys you can include as well and make them be more important-because they are???

Time and Wind aren’t the only ones from their time. Darunia and Ruto may be from the Adult timeline, but they are there, they are playable characters, and no one seems to mention them, like at all. Tetra, Medli, and King Daphnes are also playable characters and are there. Aryll is also there, she speaks for Toon Link.

Time and Wind are not alone, they can still see Warriors as a big brother figure, but that doesn’t mean you can just pretend that everyone around them just doesn’t exist. I’m hoping that in general, the people in the HW fandom don’t do this, but oh my goodness I’ve never seen Medli even mentioned even once in the HW with LU stories. Maybe that’s just me, and I just need to look harder, but I still feel like these characters are underrepresented, and that not nearly enough people are simply looking at the character list for HW. I know that LU focuses on Links, but having them not interact with others that aren’t Link in a place where they clearly would just boggles the mind. Im not trying to hate on anyone, I’ve loved all the HWLU fics I’ve read, I just want to see more character interactions. And more HWLU in general.

So let me just give you all some ideas I have for HWLU/just HW fanworks. Someone might’ve already made a fic with them, and if so, please link me as I would love to read them.

Captain Link, Mask, Toon(there are so many different nicknames for this guy, but I’m just going w/ Toon rn), and Aryll are at camp. You can dive into Aryll and Toon’s relationship, as well as Link and Mask’s relationships with their own families, and at the end you can have Aryll consider Link and Mask to her brothers too. You can even add Linkle there if you want her and Link to be siblings. Aryll and Linkle can even bond! It would be sweet.

The Spirit Tracks Zelda is a playable character, in her phantom form, so I’ll call her Phantom. She knows that Tetra is her ancestor and whatever relationship she and Toon had, your choice. She and Tetra can be friends, she and Toon can be friends, she can be friends with anyone! Phantom could let Toon know about his successor, and there are a bunch of things you can do with that. She can talk about Spirit to Toon, and the adventure she had with him. This could be included in a Chain meets Spirit fic where at least Wind would know about Spirit beforehand, or the other way around with Phantom telling him all about HW! The possibilities are endless!

You can have Mask and Ruto learn about the fate of the Zoras from Medli, and wouldn’t that just be heartbreaking. I know you people love your angst, and here it is, already shining upon a silver plater.

I feel like Marin and Ravio would be friends. Have Ravio mention Marin offhandedly to Legend, maybe accidentally. Marin can be real. Ravio can have pictures of her. I know you people love Ravio.

Fi is a playable character. Like she actually is there, not just as a sword, and she does turn into a sword to beat up enemies. Have her be a character and maybe let Mask’s resentment of the Master Sword go down a bit because of her. Or have Warriors talk to Sky about her, giving him hope that one day he’ll be able to see her again.

Skull Kid is also a playable character. So is Agitha and Tingle. Do something, I don’t know I honestly don’t have any idea rn, but I do know Agitha plays a semi-important part in the plot, with Midna.

Those are all the ideas I got for now. I love HW and love how people are writing for it with LU. There is just so much more people can do, and so many characters to work with. I’m just a bit sad that people tend to forget them in favor of just having the Links, which is understandable because this is about Linked Universe. But I just feel like some people are missing out on some wonderful writing opportunities here. Or maybe that just me, and I’m being a butt, who knows.

[sonicasura]

Ok so I am doing this too get Phos/Frobtier Decks sorted for each Crossover along with potential additions too the entourage so let's get thing set up!

Original Yu-Gi-Oh

Phos/Frontier - Charmer - Familiar/ Rescue-Ace/ War Rock

Special 3 Dragon Cards: Titanomakhia, Darkest Diabolos, Black Hole Dragon

Dark Magician - Nickname Silva

Wields Pegasus's Toon Deck for the Orichalcos Saga

Will Update

GX

Phos - Fulffal and Frightfur/ Nightmare Magician and Chimeras Archetype

Will Update as story goes on

Frontier - Fluffal and Frightfur

The second Archetype they should attain I have a couple ideas

1. Gem-Knights - A Variet of Duel Monsters of Different Elements that can used for powerful Fusion and on ocasion the Fulfal and Frightfur Monsters if need be. Like Fightfurs the Gem-Knights focus on fusing fairly quickly so could have good synergy with getting heavy hitters on the field quick. Would also like Rock, Steel and Ground types due too a lot of them having similarities or being made of ores like them.

2. Melodious - Duel Monsters that have great fusions and would make for strong Monsters alongside the Frightfurs. Plus with how many musical Pokemon there are I thought it would be cute too have them interacting together.

3. Gladiator Beasts - A myriad of Fusions Monsters with a unique way of being summoned through shuffling the neccessary cards back into the Deck, which saves Fusions Spells for the Frightfurs. Also Incineroar, Annihilape, Kubfu and other Pokemon would like too spar with the Battlin' Beasts

5D's

Phos - Ursarctic/ Magicians

Will Update as story goes on

Frontier - Swordsoul

1. Dinowrestler - I love this Archetype, it's just so cool too me and wanted too add it for awhile but of course one of the main Monsters Dinowrestler Chimera T Wrextle requires a Dinowrestler Link Monsters, so that was out. However there is also a Synchro Monster! Dinowrestler Giga Spinosavate so I am still in this! I think these would work well for Frontier and well the Dinowrestler sparring against Incineroar, Pangoro, and Koraidon

2. Mayakashi - I like a lot of the designs especially the Synchros Yoko, Tengu, and Tsuchigumo so why not put them on the board, plus there very strong cards that sync well with each other.

3. Overmind Archfiend - I like there design and make for a good heavy hitter, only thing is that for Overmind Archfiend they need a Psychic Tuner and Psychic Monsters too Synchro Summon. Still I like them very much.

Zexal

Phos/Frontier: Magikey/ Goblin Biker

Potential Allies

1. Geargia - Goofy Gears that transform into a Megazord from Power Rangers with there Xyz summom! What's not too like!?

2. Sprights - I like these fashionable energy beings! Strength is not what I call theee strong suite but they hold potential for great power especially if the double attack boost conditions is met with there Xyz Summon Gigantic Spright

3. Ryzeal - I like there design and the Ryzeal's alongbwith there Xyz Summons are very strong and can be tough too take out with all there Overlay Units. Tough Duel Monsters for tough battles

4. Wind - Up: Another really cool Archetype. I like all the Wind - Up designs, I think they have a lot of strength with there Xyz Summons. Also for Phos if this is choosen I imagine the Wind -Ups come across Phos spending time with there old toy robots that survived there Planet's destruction. Repairing and cleaning the percious items of there long gone home.

Arc - V

Phos/ Frontier - Vendread/ Dual Avatar

Will Update

OK! This took a bit too put together but here is the current deck lists and the options I have presented for new Duel Monsters too join Phos/Frontier's entourage. Choose which ever one you think is best also of course if you want too change around or add one that is not on the list than go ahead. Thank you!

This is a pretty great list.

For GX, Gladiator Beasts honestly sound like a neat combination especially if you look at their Story Gate in Master Duel. Though Melodious would be better overall since a good chunk of their Fusions only need any Fairy monster so Fluffals can substitute.

Dinowrestlers could work as there are some good Dinosaur related Synchros that can help out. I can also recommend Jurracs if you want to try a Dinosaur Synchro archetype.

Wind-Ups sound like a perfect fit for Phos especially with the toy repair idea. I looked up Ryzeal and they look pretty cool so Frontier gets them. Geargia could work for both archetypes ad Duodrive alongside the Windup XYZ don't require certain monsters. Plus both archetypes have a few usable XYZs.

Linktober 2023 Day 15 - Favorite Character

Some friends who know me will have seen this coming. Wind Waker Link, or Toon Link, is my favorite character in the series. He's so expressive and cute, so full of life, wonder, and emotion. He embodies the themes of courage of the series better than other Links, as he's just a kid who just wanted to save his sister, and wound up a hero because it was the right thing to do.

He's also just some random child from a nowhere island. Unlike other Link's, he wasn't handed destiny and a hero title on a silver platter. He conquered the Tower of the Gods, he re-powered the Master Sword, he reassembled the Triforce of Courage of his own free will, and in the end, finished what the famed Hero of Time couldn't do and finally put Ganondorf down.

He's a courageous boy who didn't save Hyrule, instead he ensuring a peaceful future for all in the sea.

Linktober Shadow day 13 Shadow/Dark Link

A Legend of Zelda fanfiction for @linktober event Linktober Shadow 2024 day 13 Shadow/Dark Link and this reference the Dark Link skins for Link and Toon Link for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I also give a Sonic Adventure 2 reference, which was also in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.

Link, the Hero of the Wild, and his cartoon counterpart known as Toon Link, the Hero of the Wind, travel in a ancient temple and the older Link wearing a blue tunic ask Toon Link, "So, this is where we can find Zelda?" and Toon Link reply, "I'm sure. The darkness of this temple means that the boss of this temple is close." As the duo enter a chamber, their shadows suddenly come out and Link call out in shout as his shadow become a dark gray skin reflection of himself with red eyes, "What the?" and Toon Link said, "I think my friend The King of Red Lions mentioned how almost every version of the Hero would face a dark counterpart of himself created by dark magic." Link said as he draw out the Master Sword, "So I'm facing my own Shadow Link." As Toon Link face his own dark gray skin copy wearing a black tunic, he said to his counterpart, “We are going to fight these guys.” and they think to themselves, ‘I hope my girlfriend don’t see this faker and mistake this shadow for me, as well hug them from behind.’

unorganized ganonbeck brainworms going strong so now im thinking about ssbu ganonbeck cuz thats where it all began and its also just a really good ganonbeck premise

i mean, off the bat, ganondorf is a main playable character (i think y’all call em ‘smashers’? idk) and linebeck in ssbu is a master spirit so theyre both likely going to be known across the board by other spirits and smashers, so… they’re known. they can’t exactly fly under the radar and are generally visually noticeable, too.

i think ssbu ganonbeck is at its funniest when they’re trying to keep it a secret.

i mean, there’s probably hints in the beginning, linebeck going out of his way to watch ganondorf fight, ganondorf being seen talking with linebeck more often, other legend of zelda smashers and spirits having their own complicated feelings about these specific people seemingly getting to know each other better.

(im specifically interested in reactions from… idk specifically villains associated with ganondorf or… ANYONE canonically associated with ganondorf lol. linebeck just has toon link on his side)

the beginning stuff probably ramps up to slightly surprising stuff, linebeck seeking out ganondorf more often despite what people might assume of him, going as far as asking him to get drinks or something, and ganondorf just being oddly interested in what linebeck has to say over some others that make more sense and occasionally brining up things that linebeck has told him, this going all the way up to the two of them being noticeably flustered around each other, clearly signifying something-

and then to onlookers things appear to taper off back to just being friendly.

before things taper off, other spirits and smashers begin to take more notice, keeping an eye on ganondorf and linebeck out of curiosity, but once things appear to settle on just simply being friendly that attention goes elsewhere.

(of course, behind closed doors both literally and metaphorically, at that point ganondorf and linebeck start dating, but due to the prior attention decided it would be best just to keep it under wraps, out of irritation towards that attention and out of some sense that the knowledge of them dating wouldn’t go over well for some of the spirits or smashers, plus [mostly on linebecks end] worry over others making a stir over how odd the pairing is)

so time passes but people also start to notice that ganondorf is… less of an asshole? he seems to be in a better mood more often and while no one is really upset about that, it is curious and worth looking into.

it takes about a week for a group of smashers and spirits to (correctly) deduce that ganondorf is dating someone, and keeping it a secret. they can’t just ask ganondorf, so now there’s this little investigation group trying to figure out who’s caught ganondorf’s eye, and linebeck is removed from the suspect list because of course not, he’s more likely to be afraid of ganondorf and why would ganondorf be romantically interested in some random guy like that, they clearly dont have anything in common- (the group does not know about linebeck’s history of possession [he prefers to keep it secret], he still uses his old facade around the majority of people, and it is not common knowledge that he’s kind of a freak)

ganondorf and linebeck catch wind of the investigation and figure out their own set of excuses and hiding spots and every possible method of keeping things secret, so its practically a game to them as the investigating smashers and spirits go off on a wild goose chase the moment they eliminated linebeck as a suspect.

not every smasher or spirit cares about this investigation (they’ve seen enough relationships pop up and don’t really care about this new one) so in the midst of this mess, ganondorf and linebeck plan their next meetup based on what the investigation group are doing (without accounting for an uninterested party) and wind up getting walked in on by a group of smashers not involved with the investigation

linebeck and ganondorf end up being massively relived that the group that found them wont say anything (i always figure like. lucina (shes seen enough relationship shit to not care rn) cloud (its Not His Business) and sheik (really just wasnt interested) are the ones who find out), and the discovery group leave with exactly one rule: do not let toon link find out.

cue more ganondorf and linebeck figuring out ways to keep things secret, this time with a small group who do know, but they inevitably slip up a few more times so more and more people are in on it until the fact that they are actually dating gets out.

eventually, things flip; ganondorf and linebeck are no longer trying to keep their relationship a secret from everyone, everyone is trying to keep it a secret from toon link.
