#cryptid sky

What exactly is the hero’s spirit in this au? As there ever been a “normal” link

What is the Hero’s Spirit?

It’s Sky.

He forged it in the Goddess’s Silent Realm: a soul so strong, so powerful, that when it’s reincarnated, it’s inherently special. Unbreakable. Goddess blessed and Chosen. Every single Link is Sky’s spirit, with the exception of Wind and Spirit. (Wind who made his own and Spirit who inherited Wind’s).

I PROMISE that there’s more to this- about reincarnation and how that works with our immortal members of the group. Again, I feel guilty for talking about it without being able to reveal the full story. This one’s a MASSIVE spoiler and I will not say anything more on the subject haha.

And there have been “normal” (Hylian) Links, they just don’t stay Hylian for long haha! Take Sky or Time or Spirit, for example. Wild, too! All of the Cryptid Links are just that: cryptids! I tried my best to make them all different! But even if they weren’t little goblins, I think it’d be a stretch to call any Link “normal” haha!

eeeeee ok so i decided to write a lil oneshot of the chain as cryptids au, with a little bit of self projection onto wild- (i made him autistic and use they/them - slighting non binary coded on accident🙏 which i hope is ok, i just got carried away)

Gift giving

Cryptid!wild + Cryptid!hyrule bonding <3

Wild was, well- wild. He didn’t take kindly to being forced into a box, some would call them a man because he looked like it, when in reality wild was just wild. Not a ‘man’ or ‘woman’- just wild. He was also told by strangers, whenever in one of their brothers hyrules, they would get caught into conversations somehow and were told that they were rude for not making eye contact and moving around- when in reality that just meant they were paying attention! Hylians were just weird! When wild joined the chain of strange heroes, he felt like an outcast in some ways, these were all beings who knew how to interact with each other, wild liked cooking for them, it was wilds way of showing they cared and did want to be friends, which was not something he normally did, but you know- when your forced to travel with people Sometimes, they would find a stream, and practice facial expressions and giving eye contact, but they’d get lost focusing on the fish darting into their reflection. The stream was going at a slow pace, but the sounds of it rippling through itself was nice. The sounds of the forest creatures coming by to drink the cold water and leaving just as quick made the atmosphere just as good. Eventually sky had came by, probably to come get me to make dinner. 

“Everything alright?”

He chirped, crouching beside me. His wings folded in on himself as to not hit me into the river, since he did have past accidents of doing so. I nodded, my antennas swaying in the wind, i watched the stream carefully, picking out the patterns in the way it moved downstream, i think wind would’ve liked to sink into the water, it was deep enough to sit in. Sky was probably going to say something else, but i saw the sun hit something just right in the water that made it sparkle. I immediately dunked my hand in, making sky jump at my sudden movement, i got whatever it was, and tugged it out of the soil. I shook my hand dry, and found that i had grabbed a bracelet, with sea patterns, strange runes on it, and opal gemstones engraved into it.

“Ohh cool! I wonder what it does! We should ask legend! He might know since it seems ocean themed and he’s a merman of sorts”

Sky ecstatically ushered me to follow him back to camp, so when we got back, sky darted to legend. He had dragged him over, and legend carefully examined the metal bracelet.

“Looks like something to keep you from getting wet, the bracelet i assume is something that can absorb water into the opal gems that would originally get in your clothes or skin and keeps it dry.”

He explained, handing the bracelet back to me. I nodded, smiling softly. If there was one thing i knew, is that hyrule didn’t like getting wet in his fairy form, and he was the few people I’d yet to truly interact with for longer than a few conversations. I knew he was out and about, but i didn’t know where- i decided to wait, sitting patiently in a tree as i swung back and forth repeatedly by my legs on a sturdy branch. Hyrule came back a couple minutes later, with wood in his arms. He set them down and sat next to legend, sparking up a conversation. I didn’t want to interrupt, but hyrule needed to have it! Even if wild did really want it, hyrule would like it more and find better use for it. I hopped down, small bells and chimes sounding from no where as i basically bounced over to where hyrule was sitting. I stood near his field of view, trying to find a pause in their conversation to make movement and get his attention. For a couple seconds, it was quiet between them, and hyrule looked to me. 

“What’s up?”

He softly questioned me, raising a brow. My antennas flicked as i registered his question, and i remembered why I’d been standing there. I extended the bracelet to him, he was a bit taken aback, but smiled and took it. 

“Thank you wild! What is it?”

He tilted his head, looking to me again. I waved a hand to legend, trying to ask him to explain- which he got the memo. 

“Oh! Wild gave you a bracelet that helps keep you dry, it seems the opal and runes engraved on it give it magical properties to keep water off your skin and clothes.”

He explained once more, pointing to the engravings and opal gems he was talking about. Hyrules wings fluttered slightly, in which i hoped was joy, he turned to me and smiled even wider than before. 

“Thank you! This means a lot, since i know you like to hoard things like this, and you’re willingly giving it up for me.”

He sounded slightly guilty in his tone, which i managed to pick out based off his head bowing. I waved a hand in front of his face to get his attention, my antennae’s flattened as i scowled at him.

‘Give you, make me happy, you happy’

I signed to the best of my ability, getting my whole gesture across. He nodded, smiling again. 

“Thank you, again-“

He laughed softly, it sounded energetic, which meant he was happy. That cheered me up, Hyrule hopefully knew i wanted to be best friends now, maybe even brothers! Like how he would refer to legend or wind. Wild knew he would’ve liked the bracelet, but this was a better choice.

I don’t like the insistence that supernatural phenomena be neatly organized into boxes depending entirely on vibes. I know it’s an instinctive human desire to categorize shit but cmon. The shadow figure you saw in your house is a “ghost” but that flying saucer your uncle saw is a “UFO” and the weird thing your sister caught on a trail cam in the woods is a “cryptid” (and usually they’ll try to break this down further to like genus-level) NO. They are all the same thing. What is that thing? Fuck if I know. But they’re the same.

The thing 🍂

[naffeclipse]

I re-read through your Cryptid Sightings story and had to say I am thoroughly impressed with the foreshadowing that is used to build up the story for future events to unfold. The way it plays out is very natural and not at all an obvious add-on that makes you think this detail is going to play any important role.

Spoilers ahead (sorry, don't know how to hide)

For example, in the chapters about the rake, y/n is inquiring the hunters about odd happenings in the area and they follow up with a comment about poachers being in the area. This comment is not glaringly obvious to be a factor in the plot since it's such a natural occurrence and something hunters would mention. This detail though gives a clear foreshadowing and reason why y/n runs into bear traps. While those bear traps initially do not change the story progression (as in stopping the hunt, it's y/n's illness that makes them finally call it off), it's a brilliant way to say "hey, these exist here" and those traps become a key component in the downfall of the rake.

The progression of your stories are so fluid.

Also love how you hint at y/n getting a sick chapter by mentioning in the mothman episode about them potentially getting sick because they are trekking through rain.

Once my body stops rebelling against me, I want to make so much fanart :) Also, side note, whenever I read through the diner scene (i've honestly re-read this story about 10 times), I always have to get an omelette at my local diner asap. I always order the one that has bacon, mushrooms, tomatos, onions and cheese :)

Hope all is going well on your end!

This means so much to me, oh my gosh!! Thank you!! I love reading analysis and seeing what people pick up in the details! You're so sweet, ahhhh!

THAT'S SO COOL ALSDJFASLF Same though, diners make me think of that scene in CS so much aslfjaslf
