Sleeping headcannons

What I feel like each Link would do when it’s time to go to bed with you! (Slight mention of kinks but nothing too big)

Sky

- oh our favourite sleepy cuddle bug ugh, we love a physically clingy man that can manhandle you to bed.

- not without consent of course hehe.

- he’s definitely clingy in bed too, but unconsciously chokes you by 3 am when he’s having a couple dreams (let’s be real, all Links have nightmares…)

- Whether he’s being spooned or is spooning, he’s a happy man.

- could literally fall asleep with only you being his blanket and him being your heater.

(Side note, did you know that women generally feel colder because their inner heat is like 5x more than men? It’s also less spread out so women’s hands and feet just get randomly SUPER COLD compared to men who have a cooler inner body temperature who don’t experience that! All Links take advantage of this to make you feel warm even if they don’t know the reason behind it.)

- being in skyloft makes you 10x colder too, so sky is probably holding hands and holding feet 24/7 in your sleep.

- he’s a light snorer, but fully alert, always ready to protect with a bit of a sleepy stance.

- he probably sleeps with a shirt and some pants, used to having a bit of clothes due to cold weather in skyloft.

- sky does this thing where he shoves his hands up your back just to feel more skin contact. He’s definitely a skin-to-skin type of cuddler—he’d solely take off his shirt for it.

Time

- Our Daddy issues man, or at least for me he is. Ugh the comfort he gives when he gives you a simple hug, IMAGINE sleeping with this man and his shirtless glory hugging you into his toned chest…

- okay got a little carried away but honestly who doesn’t love that. He’s definitely the spooner in the relationship but can be spooned depending on his mood (cough cough, nightmares)

- definitely stays awake at night sometimes not believing that his life is real or that you are real.

- his funny habit is that he DEFINITELY snores LOUDLY when he’s in a comfortable space with safe people and safe everything

- that’s when you KNOW he’s happiest than ever.

- probably sleeps with one eye open otherwise (not that he has a second to use. No I don’t regret that.)

- if you both can’t sleep, you guys will probably chat each other’s ears off till you do or sit in comfortable silence.

- he loves having you beside him, having that one comfortable warm spot always being there with him through very terrifying nights

- you’re both working through his nightmares, and maybe one day you might not have to worry about that at all.

Warriors

- now I’m gonna be fully honest, average man who likes flirting with women definitely had NO IDEA how to sleep the first time y’all went to bed together.

- the awkward straight board of shock realising that you guys are sleeping next to each other. (Not sex get your mind out of the gutter)

- however, you wake up the next morning and your trapped within his arms, unable to get out, and he’d place a couple kissed on your jaw to mess with you.

- definitely also kinda sleeps with one eye open, not much of a snorer…Or so he says but you know he’s a loud one when he’s DEEP in sleep.

- he loves playing with your hair when you can’t sleep.

- curly, straight, wavy, long, medium, short, he’ll find a way to style it in your sleep, you’d wake up with an amazing hairdo (that’s probably disastrous).

- he likes circling patterns on your arms too, like trace it and memorise the FEELING of your skin. He thinks it’s super soft compared to his hand and body that’s littered with scars from his battles.

- sleeps shirtless, keeps a knife under the pillow.

- no one will take this happiness from him.

Twilight

- biggest cuddle bug! Second to sky of course, but a big cuddle bug nonetheless.

- he LOVES spooning you to smell your shampoo, he falls asleep to it and your regular scent.

- I swear to god this guy just has a scent kink but he genuinely finds comfort in it. Hell he even loves shoving his face in your neck when you’re sleeping to take a whiff and fall asleep in an instant.

- bro knows how to fall asleep like in the military, tight routine and schedule and all, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t wake up from nightmares too.

- I wanna say his nightmares are the WORST just simply because his world is so horrific. (The amount of jumpscares I had while playing TP is insane)

- insufferable in summer, this motherfucker is a walking furnace and sadly y’all can’t survive the heat at night, so you decide to link pinkies (hahahaha pun) or tangle legs or something and everything else is treated like it’s gonna give you covid.

- sleeps shirtless, heavenly ripped muscles that you wouldn’t miss the chance to trace before passing out.

-you both have your own weird kinky habits (I think I have it too.)

Hyrule

- poor bby oh my god, third cuddle bug in the list, I was gonna give that spot to Wild but Rulie my baby…

- he deserves all the love, definitely gets spooned often but would love to spoon every now and then too.

- also sleeps with one eye open, monsters constantly out for him isn’t safe for either of you.

- I kinda headcannon that he gets visions of monsters or like a feeling that they’re nearby, call that fairy intuition.

- however, when in a safe spot he’s clinging onto you and completely passed out, like nothing but you matters in his little world.

- likes to sleep with his clothes on to always be able to be on the move, otherwise he’d sleep with a random comfy oversized shirt of yours, yeah he’d steal.

- he’s still a Link, he has to be a menace SOMEHOW.

- on the nights he stays awake, he loves fully paying attention to you and whispering all sweet things about how amazing you are and how he’s such a lucky guy to have a pretty gal like you.

- would move your hair out of your face softly and memorise your every feature, worse, probably worship the land you slept on.

- and he’d 100% give you loads of kisses throughout the night. He feels that if he doesn’t appreciate you enough you might leave. Be sure to pay this bby back tenfold.

Four

- he’s so genuinely complicated I don’t even know where to start.

- he feels like the most normal in the group, with lack of a better word, despite having his personality split shit with the four sword.

- on regular nights, he sleeps close. He’s not a clingy sleeper but he won’t mind you and him mingling limbs together.

- doesn’t mind being spooned or spooning. If he feels like it though he’ll be super affectionate when you guys face each other, he’ll hold your face and place kisses on the corner of your eyes to get you to giggle before sleeping.

- he smiles softly when he hears you laugh, honestly he’s a happy man. God forbid you’d be a sleep talker and he’d be having full conversations in your sleep because he simply loves hearing your voice.

- he sleeps shirtless.

- he’s definitely warm, but Four himself is better for summer while he usually splits for winter when you find your hands and feet growing supper cold.

- you’ll find each colour sticking to one side to help you warm up. The clinginess order being Red, Green, Vio then Blue.

- Blue’s a shy tsundere don’t worry he’ll come around <33

- Vio doesn’t mind being affectionate since he logically knows that it’ll boost your happy system (dopamine but do they know what that is? Hmm) and warms you up.

- green just likes helping, being super close to you is a literal bonus that he takes with cheers in his heart

- red is clingy for the sake of being clingy, helping is the bonus—

- Four is a mix of snores, sometimes he’ll be loud, sometimes quiet and sometimes no snores at all.

- he’s definitely one of those that doesn’t get nightmares as often, but sometimes loses touch of reality and has to ground himself in the middle of the night by just focusing on you.

- he loves you lots <333

Wild

- you won’t be able to sleep with this guy.

- unless you tie his hands and legs and body up to the bed, you won’t be able to sleep with him, he MOVES…A LOT.

- his dreams are the biggest reason for his active movement in his sleep.

- you guys decided a great solution was wrapping him like a burrito and you sleeping while hugging said burrito.

- all jokes aside, he doesn’t move every night but he still sprawls out like a star fish.

- your best bet is sleeping on him so that he’s grounded and is reminded not to move at night because you could get hurt.

- plus as a descendant of Twilight, has a bit of the urge to just smell your shampoo while you’re on top of him.

- another one that loves stealing your clothes, but he lets you steal his so he sees it as fair trade.

- hugs you super tight when he gets nightmares, he doesn’t know how to deal with them so you might have to wake up and shush him down to help him a bit.

- otherwise he might stay up the rest of the night unable to sleep, but hey, at least you’re sleeping peacefully.

- he might just pass out again while he’s sleeping with you like that.

- he does the same as hyrule where he whispers how much he loves you, but not to the same extent as him.

- he’d do a lot for you.

Legend

- hardest for last, tries to be less clingy but can’t help it and gives his act up really early on.

- he loves being spooned, he’s always suffered being a protector and having all these jobs and people to protect, he just thinks it feels nice to not have that pressure on him in his own comfort home.

- he definitely waits for you to sleep first so that he can take his time admiring you or tracing patterns all over the skin if your side, arms or cheeks.

- it’s a little silly but he always wishes for you to have good dreams, he has slight eyebags from his bad ones but you being there and staying there helps with it.

- he sleeps with a shirt on and surprisingly doesn’t snore at all.

- he loves having your legs on him and your arms around him like a little koala. He thinks it’s cute and he gets to just feel you way more so it’s a win win for him.

- I feel like he’d also be a whiner, he basically whines about affection when he’s feeling more comfortable with you but he’d be SUPER embarrassed if that got out.

-loves putting his face in your chest to listen to your heartbeat, he falls asleep to it constantly and promises it’s the best sleep he gets every time.

Wind (platonic also short, mb)

- I feel like Wind would also have nightmares and clings to you throughout the night.

- you’d be shushing him quietly when he sobs about a dream and you both would stay up chatting about stories that you know, experienced or heard of

- Wind definitely falls back to sleep with that, still clinging to you but with a smile on his face.

- he’s happy he’s got you to rely on when the night seems so cold and terrifying.
