My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called "Linked Universe" 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.

5 minutes later: Dude I swear I just saw a huge black lizard make a portal through space and time

My buddy Hylia pacing: I think the heroes are trying to unionize

[minty-mumbles]

I think it would be so funny if the chain goes through a portal and Four is like "Oh hey, I know this place! My house is like half an hour away."

They make it to his home and they meet his grandpa, who is also four feet tall. And no one comments on it because it must be something that runs in the family. Not that weird, right?

And then some of them go into the nearby town and they discover that literally everyone is that hight and for once they're the weird ones in terms of height. Warriors and Time keep bonking their heads on the doorframes of shops because Everything is built for people who are like max 5' 2"

So it turns out Four is just an average height for his era, and he's been thinking that everyone else is freakishly tall this entire time.

He just literally never mentioned any of this to the other heroes because either he thought it was funny or he couldn’t be bothered.

I hate when you're scrolling tumblr and accidentally follow someone, so you have to do the clickthrough of shame to their blog to unfollow them. Like "I am so sorry I’m only here to unfollow you. Your blog looks lovely. I love what your did with the color scheme."

Oh no not another one 😔

It was probably the same author who deleted all their stuff too, based off how closely together they were bookmarked

This is my own personal hell /j

Hello, I recently came across your old Linked Universe avatar au post and I have an au similar where the hero is the avatar and I wanted to ask what type of bender do you think each of them would start out as?

I know you mentioned you wouldn’t continue it but I wanna know your opinions :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Here's my thoughts on their starting elements:

Sky: Air. Everyone on Skyloft is an Airbender, and Sky is no exception. Sky slowly gained mastery over the other elements during his journey. No one even knew it was possible to control other elements before Sky came back one day able to control water.

Time: Fire. I know many people's first thought would be to make him a water or earth bender because he started out with the Kokiri, who would be water or earthbenders in this AU. However, I think making him a firebender would be a good way to further his sense of isolation from the rest of the Kokiri at the start of his adventure. It would also be very dangerous to have a young firebender living in the middle of the woods without anyone to teach him because he'd be liable to start some forest fires, which would make this problem so much worse.

Also, the only magic we've see him perform in the comic is Din's Fire, which supports this

Four: Probably earth? When he's split, each of the colors can only bend one of the four elements. Vio has Earth, Blue has Fire, Red has Air and Green has Water. Vio doesn't retain the ability to metal bend- that's something only Four can do

Wind: Water. Waterbenders are the most common types of benders in his era, because they were the ones most likely to be able to survive the great flood.

Hyrule: Water. I say this because he has definitely studied the healing part of waterbending extensively. However, I think fire is actually his strongest element. He's studied it to the point that he can lightning bend, and he is the only heroes who is able to do this. (Sky and Wild can redirect lightning and live, but are not able to fully control it.)

The rest of these I don't have a good reason for. Just based purely on vibes

Wild: Water

Legend: Fire

Twilight: Earth

Warriors: Fire or Air

I’m no artist but I did a sketch of Wars based off some headcanons I have for him 🫶

Bonus scarf creature wars under the cut

hes so funky 🫶🫶🫶

i spent like hours on this so i’m gonna go melt into my floor now 👍

​In light of the most recent update

I can not believe that it’s a canonical thing that Legend (and maybe the other Links too) think that Warriors is flat broke

So...Time gets a letter from home, and nothing is wrong, but he doesn't share the news...and then he starts getting protective of Twilight all over again.

I am calling it. Malon is preggers.

[minty-mumbles]

Warriors telling them to “be normal” took me out 😭 Please that’s so fucking funny

Warriors is struggling

[minty-mumbles]

I bet that letter from Malon was her telling Time that she’s pregnant. Him having that whole conversation with Twilight right after he read that letter from Malon? Definitely sus timing

Hello and good day to all my fellow Legend of Zelda fans!

As you may or may not be aware we in the Legend of Zelda fandom have been having some troubles when it comes to tagging on A03. Mostly that the only tags that seem to be available to tag various Links with was the Linked Universe specific tags. Which led to writers either trying to make their own tags (which no one knew how to find) or inaccurately using Linked Universe Tags. Neither of which were fair to creators writing outside of Linked Universe, or fair to the Linked Universe community (let alone JoJo herself!).

People trying to tag their non-Linked Universe fics were either scrambling to be found or blending their words in with Linked Universe works. And Linked Universe fans who were searching for Linked Universe fics ended up stumbling across fics they weren’t looking for.

So, with that in mind, I reached out to the A03 team in search of a solution. And they have gotten back to me! I am going to post a picture of their reply under the cut, but I will summarize it first.

There (now? I’m not clear if they’ve all existed before) are tags we can use for most of our various Links that aren't Linked Universe. They’re just not tags that go in the “Character” box. Instead, you put Link (Legend of Zelda) in the character box and then one (or more) of these tags into the “Additional Tags” box. The tags are ‘Link from X game’. So, for example: Link from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom (Legend of Zelda) or Link from Twilight Princess (Legend of Zelda). If you try to put a specific Link in and they don’t exist already you’ll just have to fill it in unfortunately. And the more people use that tag the sooner it will be made into one that’s canonized.

Mind you! These tags should NOT be used for Linked Universe fanfictions. JoJo has explicitly asked that Linked Universe fanworks NOT be tagged with general Legend of Zelda tags. And that is what these are. So please leave these tags for those of us writing outside of Linked Universe.

I did a little experimenting and there seems to be a tag for every game EXCEPT;

“Link from Four Swords Adventures (Legend of Zelda)”,

“Link from The Legend of Zelda (Legend of Zelda)”,

“Link from The Adventures of Link (Legend of Zelda)”, and

“Link from Age of Calamity (Legend of Zelda)”.

There is also no tag for:

“The Hero of Men (Legend of Zelda)” (or whatever title could be used for the hero before Link from The Minish Cap)

But there are Character tags for “Ancient Hero (Legend of Zelda)” and “Hylia’s Chosen Hero (Legend of Zelda)” (who I believe is the First Hero).

The more we, as a fandom, use these tags (especially the ones that aren’t currently searchable) the more readily usable they will be.

I love it when Wind does something that shows his age.

He’s capable, of course, and has been on his own adventures. But, I mean he’s like, what? 13? 14? He’s going to be immature/inexperienced in ways that the others just aren’t.

It’s normal. And the fact that he can still act a bit childish after every thing he’s gone through is probably a good thing.

Like here:

The older heroes have a quicker reaction time than him, and Warriors has to catch his attention. (Also, brotherly Wind and Warriors Supremacy) He doesn’t have as much expierance as the others to be able to register the danger as quickly.

And later in the same arc, the others are putting together the clues to realize that the monsters are hunting them, but Wind doesn’t understand. He’s not dumb, he’s just a kid who, again, is lacking in world experience.

Firstly, I love the implication that Time/the others are training with Wind or teaching him things. Secondly, it just make sense that he’s not going to be as skilled with a sword as the others. Again, he’s not bad at it or incompetent in anyway. It’s just that a 12 year old kid learning to fight to save his sister is going to be less skilled than adults who have had those extra years to train. (Some of whom have had formal training.)

Wind is the only one that thinks the scars are cool. The others are all, I don’t know, jaded? They don’t see any glory in it.

This could also be just his general excitableness, but speaking of:

I feel like these are all pretty self explanatory. He tries to mimic the opinions/actions of the adults he looks up to. His reaction to his and Wild’s difference in opinions is a very childish one. He’s very excitable, etc

TL;DR: Wind acts like a kid some times, and that’s okay. Also, personally, I’m living for it.
