Answering the AU game in the Linked Maze discord server because I am not, in fact, dead! I'm just doing a bit of messing around with my art style, rethinking the textured linework stuff. This is super low effort and not reflective of my art style in all likelihood, I'm still messing around.

Bonus: TOTK Zelda design! I'm dubbing her Light, because... Y'know.

Wolf

Twilight Princess

He/him

25

Hylian/wolf (depending on the form)

A humble rancher thrown into a complex world of light and shadow, now bearing the marks of the beast he became in his adventure. The mirror of twilight still stands, and while the relations between the world of light and the world of shadow are tense, Wolf will do whatever it takes to keep this tenuous peace. He's going to protect his pack, no matter what.

Redesigned! I shall keep the old design up for those who are curious about it.

Beyond the Mirror

- A Links Meet AU -

8 heroes from across time gather to face a new foe. Dark Link has emerged once more, ripping open the fabric of space and time in hopes of eliminating the hero once and for all. When the call to adventure comes, these 8 heroes will not stand by and watch as Dark Link threatens their lives.

Beyond the Mirror is an original Links Meet AU comic by @lightningqueen11 including 8 different Links from 11 Different games.

There are several differences with the official story of both each game and the Zelda timeline as a whole that I would highly recommend reading about to properly understand everything about this AU. This, and all other relevant links to Beyond the Mirror content, shall be linked below.

Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange Interest Check

Hullo everyone! We have a huge announcement we're like to make: We're hosting a Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange.

What is the Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange? It's a gift exchange meant to celebrate the vast amount of AUs within the Legend of Zelda fandom, hosted by the Monstrous Fusion AU discord server! All AUs are welcome; whether those are a general LoZ AU or a Links Meet! The only catch is that these AUs must be server appropriate, which means they do not contain explicit NSFW content.

This project is for people of every skill level, both in art and writing! Once you send in your registration, you're in!

Proposed Timeline;

Sign-Ups Open: May 11th Sign-Ups Close: May 23rd Gift Assignments Release: May 27-28th Gift Creation Begins: May 28th Dropout Deadline: June 7th First Check-Ins: June 7th Second Check-in: June 17th Third Check-in: June 27th Gift Drop Off Days: June 29-30th

( Note; this is a tentative timeline. This means it isn't final! It can change, but this is the general consensus for the timeline.)

If there's enough interest in the project, we would love to make this an annual thing! There's a treasure trove of brilliant ideas and creative talent behind the Legend of Zelda fandom, and this gift exchange hopes to bring that community together and brighten someone's day! If you don't have your own AU, never fear! You can still join! You can request General LOZ content, or content from your favourite LoZ AU!

You do not have to be in the discord server to participate, but the event is connected to the server. All Updates will be on the temporary server! But we encourage most of the chatting to be done on the main server. You can find the invite here! (I'll go on a personal whim to say that the server is very lovely and it's a nice small community <3 We would love to see you there)

Feel free to reblog to get to more people!

We hope to see you all there! <3

Heyo! Sorry about the lack of any posts lately, strugglin a bit with Wolf's design still. Deciding between these two looks, I think. One's more practical and easier to draw, the other's more faithful to his original design.

Maybe I'll think up a third option, who knows.

While I'm here, have a little sneak peek of the banner I've been working on! Once I finish this I'll finally create the masterpost for this AU, hope you guys like it!

Guidelines for asks

You can direct your ask to me, the creator (my name is Lightning :D), or to the characters themselves.

Requesting art of the characters in specific situations is great, encouraged even! But those asks may take a while or never get finished.

No spoilers! I won't answer asks when answering would mean spoiling something about the comic.

It goes without saying but be polite, please. I'm still quite a new to AU comics.

Repeat asks are just fine, I don't expect people to read through every previous ask, but please do try to check the info posts before asking something

[beyondthemirrorau]

Captain

Hyrule Warriors

He/him

24

Hylian

Captain's probably the most unorthodox Link of all the Links, having never went through the usual find-dungeon-solve-puzzles style of adventure. What he doesn't have in puzzle-solving experience, Captain makes up for in his ability to sweep through hordes of monsters without so much as a scratch. And when monsters come knocking at his door? Well, Captain's not one to leave a threat unchecked.

[beyondthemirrorau]

Wild

Hero of the Wild

He/she/they

25

Hylian

The slayer of Calamity Ganon and the Demon Dragon, Wild's taken down his fair share of giant, malicious monsters. He's a bit of a free spirit, wanting to know absolutely everything about the land he first woke up in. As Zelda would say, Wild's got the spirit of a scientist, and they're more than happy to join in a quest that'll let them explore a completely new land.

[beyondthemirrorau]

Four

Hero(es) of light

They/them (can be singular or plural, they don't mind)

21

Hylian

The heroes of light are quite the enigma to historians, the only remotely reliable record of their adventures coming from one Vio Prism. They were one of the few wielders of the Four Sword, and simply known as a force to be reckoned with. Why they joined the forming gang of heroes? They never said. But they seem determined to see this through to the end.

[beyondthemirrorau]

Wolf

Twilight Princess

He/him

25

Hylian/Wolf, depending on form

A humble rancher thrown into a complex world of light and shadow, now bearing the marks of the beast he became in his adventure. The mirror of twilight still stands, and while the relations between the world of light and the world of shadow are tense, Wolf will do whatever it takes to keep this tenuous peace. He's going to protect his pack, no matter what.

Note! Wolf's design & personality are the most liable to change, I make no promises about this version of Wolf being the one in the comic

[beyondthemirrorau]

Tune

Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass

He/him pronouns

16 years old

Hylian

The mighty sailor of the Great Sea, the pirate from outset Island, soon to be founder of New Hyrule. Tune's already traveled through time to fight alongside other Links once, why not do it again? When the call to action comes, this lad isn't going to be sitting on the sidelines.

[beyondthemirrorau]

Mask

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask

He/they

17 y/o (mentally 19)

Hylian (raised Kokiri)

The legendary Hero of Time, first to reveal Ganondorf as a threat to Hyrule. Said to have foresight on exactly what to do next, as if he had experienced this all before. Mask is a rather mysterious figure, having traveled the world for quite some time, looking for a place to belong. When the world comes knocking with the perfect opportunity to reunite with old friends? Well, who is Mask to say no to that?

[beyondthemirrorau]

Minish

The Minish Cap

He/him pronouns

13 years old

Hylian (fully Minish when shrunk)

A legend among the fae of Hyrule. Hylians may not pass down his legend as much as they do the Hero of Time or the Hero of the Sky, but fae creatures revere this hero for saving them when Vaati threatened their home. Nowadays Minish lives a carefree life with his best friends, spreading little acts of kindness wherever he goes, and when called upon to stop a new threat from threatening his friends? Minish won't hesitate. He worked hard for this childhood, he's not letting it go that easy.

[beyondthemirrorau]

Sky

Game(s): Skyward Sword

He/him pronouns

22 years old

Skyloftian

The very first incarnation of the hero's spirit, Sky fought the dark god Demise and won. But not without a price, being cursed to reincarnate to fight the spirit of Demise's hatred until the end of time itself. Called upon for a new quest against a new foe, Sky seeks to fix his mistakes and protect his successors from any further harm.
