Linebeck is the Maui to Link's Moana. Or more accurately the Peter B Parker to Link's Miles Morales. He could have the most interesting and heroic past, but he has the vibes of Just Some Guy. I'd kill for a game set after Phantom Hourglass (but before Spirit Tracks) where we learn more about Linebeck's history, and how it plays into his newfound parental relationship with Link

Linebeck being more or less Just Some Guy compared to Link being this weirdly competent pre-teen is a fun part of their dynamic a lot of the time. There is a lot of time between PH and ST and that obviously is an opportunity for more storytelling between those characters, plus considering that we have very limited information on Linebeck's history or... anything, exploring him further is always a lot of fun, and could make for an interesting subject for anything before or after PH (or during), and further going into his relationship and dynamic with Link has a lot of potential for... a lot of different stuff!

#asks #anon #aaaa idk what to say here but yeah linebeck is such an enigma since he doesnt really have a backstory or any supplemental info #as the local ph fandom blasphemer however i dont actually like father/son linebeck and link any more so i got nothing on that #i lean into like. weird brothers or something akin to that?#not to be a jojo fan here but ive compared it a little more to the deal between kishibe rohan and koichi hirose in diu #but ive been making it more of its own complicated thing. leaning into weird brothers or something with similar vibes #and since i like to play with au stuff ive found out that they are really fun to put in different roles and dynamics #they have great base chemistry and it really allows for some cool stuff to be done with them #part of me does want to see like. a post ph pre st game but i also kind of like having that time being blank #so we can decide for ourselves what can happen in that time #ive got my own ideas for a post ph concept/story and i do have more or less a full backstory for my interpretation of linebeck #but uh yea. i can't really say much about linebeck being parental w/ link bc i dont. actually view it that way #to me its like. linebeck is dependent on link for mental illness reasons and link made the executive decision that theyre brothers #its messy but the bottom line is that they rely on each other and do make a good team #so yeah sorry i cant say a whole lot on the topic of them having a father/son relationship thing #loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #linebeck #link #also very little on the character comparisons you made sorry abt that. you're right tho #salty talks
