An old drawing of mine (from 2023) that I thought would be fitting for mermay.

I absolutely adore fics where Legend’s mermaid tail has much more prominent and lasting effects. My original coloring was the blue one, but I saw so many fics where his tail is pink that I wanted that as an alternative.

Link Ballad

Age: 20

Height: 160 cm

Team:

• Rillaboom

• Appleton

• Hitmontop

• Tatsugiri - strechy form

• Furfrou - dandy trim

•

--------------------------------------------------------------‐-----------

Character info

Ballad the other of the 2 Links that helped Legend during his Hytopia adventure. He is the quiet and mature type, who puts up a serious front, but is a lot more laidback when you get to know him. He will also absolutly mess with people and then pretend he knows nothing. He's not very comfortable in positions of leadership and prefers if other people take that role, but he does his best when other people rely on him.

His outfit should have been an easy to draw tuxedo type look, but I struggled so hard. I don't know if it's because the style was boring which gave me 0 motivation or because it was supposed to be easy but didn't come out looking great, but this just took so long and made me unmotivated to work on him. But I got there...eventually...

Link Myth

Age: 18

Height: 165cm

Team:

• Inteleon

• Flapple

• Hitmonchan

• Tatsugiri - curly form

• Furfrou - star trim

•

--------------------------------------------------------------‐-----------

Character info

Myth is one of the 2 Links that helped Legend during his Hytopia adventure. He has a tendency to be over the top, flamboyant and loud, but can be serious and mature when the situation requires it. He's the type to try and keep people around him happy and keep the atmosphere light.

His outfit was supposed to be a more androgenous type look, but he had the misfortune of being subject to the fact that I have no idea of what is fashionable or how to construct outfits. I was hoping it would end up decent, but I doubt it actually did. The intent was for him to have a slightly eccentric but fashionable look.

Legend Hytopia outfit

To me Hytopia seemed like the easiest of legends adventures to turn into a pokemon equivalent. I'll probably go into details for those on later posts. I can say though that blue and green (myth and ballad) weren't any of the other 8 Links because I don't think that really works. They will get their own posts. I'll likely also one day draw Wind and Twilight in their respective outfits as I think it would be funny.

Legend wore this outfit because this Hytopia work with similar mechanics to pokemon Kalos. A really interesting element of those game is the fashion mechanic, where better styling gets you certain advantages, like cheaper taxi fares or access to certain stores or restaurants.

Hytopia would be that mechanic but cranked up to a thousand. Need to pass a certain styling treshold or they deadass don't let you participate in gyms or other stuff which the Links needed to stop the evil team.

They each had to put together an outfit and legend basically brute forced it until he found something that worked. Women's fashion has more options and was more versatile, plus it got him bonus points, and he wasn't let something like clothes stop him from reaching his goal, hence this outfit.

This premise does however have one very unfortunate issue and that is that I need to make fashionable outfits, while outfit design is probably one of my weakest points. I have 0 sence of fashion and that is extremely obvious. Out of the 3 I personally think Legend turned out the best, but I am aware that in reality this is no where near actually fashionable. Still hope you like the design despite it.

--------------------------------------------------------------‐-----------

His Hytopia team differs from his regular due to it needing to mach his 2 teammates (Hytopia rules), so he only retains his lopunny from his regular pokemon.

Link Four Colors

So, the thing with Four is that I want him to still split, but have no clue how to make it work in the au.

He did split in his second adventure and his team also split as a result. This is also why his team was themed around pokemon with multiple forms.

His eevees only evolved when they were seperated, which is why they all have different eeveelutions. These evolutions were then undone when merged back together. Same rule for their alcremy evolutions.

The sawsbuck and oricorio are fixed when split but change when merged. The klefki has all the keys when merged, but they get split up when seperate.

Each color is associated with one of the 4 swords of justice:

Cobalion - Green

Terrakion - Blue

Virizion - Vio

Keldeo - Red

Shadow also exists in this au, but he’ll have his own page….eventually….

Linked Universe x Pokemon crossover: info

Background info

This crossover is the result of me spending a bit too long obsessing over the common concept of 'what would happen if x characters were in the pokemon universe' and having my usually nonexistent motovation latch onto it.

I've been stuck obsessing over this thing for probably well over a year and none of my friends are into these fandoms which means I have no consistent outlet for my ever growing brainrot that has burrowed a cosy spot into my brain. Thus my need to place it on tumblr in hopes that someone can appreciate this thing.

While I have a general idea for rules and character details in this au, a lot of it is made up of only half thought out stuff that I think is neat. There's probably tons of important au things that I have likely either never thought of or never found a concrete answer to. I also haven't made a story or anything like that. I just took the LU characters and the Lu fanfiction tropes I love and proceeded to dump them into the pokemon world. This also means that a lot of things that are not canon in the original Linked Universe timeline but are popular in fanfics will be present here.

Also quick disclaimer: while I love to draw for fun, I am by no means a professional artist. This means that my art is likely littered with mistakes and stuff like that. I am aware of this and I frankly don't care. I draw as a hobby and while I enjoy being able to make art, I am not trying to do it in any professional capacity. This also means that I am hella slow when it comes to drawing and I will procrastinate on stuff for months at a time if I'm nit in tve mood to actually draw.

Anyway this is just here cause I needed to share this brainchild so I hope you enjoy.

---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

AU rules

As stated before this is a crossover between Linked Universe and Pokemon. More specifically it takes the characters within LU and places them into the pokemon universe. The zeldas of this universe are mostly based of the zeldas of the wisdomverse by linderosse.

• Each Adventure for a Link equates to a pokemon journey

• Villains from the games are evil team leaders

• The Zelda's are from a prominent family that is blessed by Arceus

• Each pokemon journey has an associated legendary pokemon (I have not fully charted these out)

• Every Link is most closely associated with one specific legendary pokemon

• Every link has had a mythical pokemon as a companion

• Each child from the lineage blessed by arceus has a godgiven pokemon. These are always fairy type pokemon and have perfect IV's

• The triforce is represented by the lake trio: azelf=courage, uxie=wisdom and mesprit=power

• Every pokemon team has a theme, some are more obvious (and were easier to choose) than others

• I tried to limit the amount of shiny pokemon, but if a shiny was a better fit I picked the shiny

• I tried to stay within canon bounds, but if a pokemon absolutely needed a specific color, I gave it that color (if the anime can do it, then so can I)

• Some of the Links will use the gimmicks from later pokemon games, these usually have reasons that will be explained

• Each Link is associated with a pokemon region. This has zero relevance and is mostly based on vibes, it is not actually where they're from.

• The actual pokemon regions might exist, but I'm more likely to use them as an approximation for vibes than a concrete location

Headcannons that are present in this au

• Legend and Fable are twins

• Echoes of wisdom zelda is aurora

Major things I am uncertain about

• Are the Zeldas actual royalty or are they just from an important family
