#linebeck and link

[littlelightfish]

Linebeck slowly held the child closer to his chest. He was dead. A few seconds ago, that precious little hero had no pulse and wasn't breathing. A few minutes ago, he was dying in his hopless arms due to bloodloss and was crying his last words as his life and consciousness drifted slowly away, just like sand, in his useless hands. He had tried. He really did. He'd looked in his bag for healing supplies just to find out in horror he had none. The stab in the kid's abdomen was bad, but he held an horrible wound in his head, which was bleeding profusely, and which his improvised bandages could do nothing against in sake of saving the child's life. He saw him die a few seconds ago. He had dressed him back in his green attire when he realized in the most devastating second in his life that he could not do nothing to save the hero. He could hear his breathing became faint despite his panicked screams and begs to him to keep breathing while he tried with all he could to keep him alive. When Link stopped fighting for the need of taking a breath, he knew that this was it. He tried everything he could, which was clearly not nearly enough to save the kid's life. He dressed him in his own coat, wishing it could, at least, give him some warmth in the doors of death. Tears refused to fall as he helplessly watched him fall in the arms of the eternal slumber. Everything in the world stopped alongside the heartbeat of the hero, and the world fell quiet as he stared at the corpse of the child in his arms. He was dead. Link was dead. All because he was not even close enough to have the ability to save him. He saw the hero die. His peacefull face was covered in his own blood, the sand around was drenched in the precious red liquid that the little hero needed so much inside of him to keep himself alive, his own hands were red with the blood of the kind-hearted hero. His adventure was over. Why did he had to die? Even when the gentle chime of a fairy returned the rising and falling to Link's chest he could stop looking at the small face covered in blood and seeing death at his soft edges. Where was the fairy a few seconds ago? When he hadn't yet died in his arms? When he hadn't yet feeled like the world was ending in his arm? Ciela was yelling something, and just then he realized she was there all along. His cheek touched the child's forehead, and he found it warm. Alive. He wasn't alive a few seconds ago. He wanted to cry so badly, but he couldn't, and he wouldn't. He still was hugging him closer and closer to himself as he tried to reassure himself that he was, by miracle, still alive. That he wasn't yet another companion that he couldn't save because of his inability to do so. Clenching his fingers in the blood-strained hair of the small -oh, so small- hero, he stared at the infinity of the ocean, too many thoughs in his mind, they all so loud he could never put them into words. Link groaned weakly. He sobbed. He saw his son die. No amount of fairy magic could ever change that.

theres more important things than letting ganon throw his temper tantrums and then him and link beating the snot out of each other. like getting those girls ganons kidnapped home. cant make the bird take them because helmaroc only fetches things. i think if you gave him something he would fully consider edible back to him, he would just think you didnt want it and eat it.

also linebeck! i knew i could fit him into something eventually. first time drawing him somehow. i hope i did him justice.

sequel to this comic

Linebeck III’s existence also proves that OG Linebeck had enough rizz to pull a wife— probably Jolene, if Linebeck can stop hiding in a crate whenever she swings by craving a duel.

Good for him, I say! OG Linebeck is easily one of my top 5 fav Zelda characters of all time. He deserves a happy ending, after everything he went through in Phantom Hourglass.

"The name's Linebeck! I'm a real man of the sea. Impressive, huh?"

I still love this idiot.

I replayed my favorite Zelda game recently and I was so inspired to draw some real fanart for it. I know phantom hourglass isn’t the most popular in the series, but it was the first Zelda game I ever played and it has a special spot in my heart. Also, I think Linebeck permanently affected my taste in fictional men all the way back in 2007

Just a quick-ish doodle bc my dumbass had to draw prompt 1 and 2 on the same day urghhhh,,, also I’m thinking of giving myself the challenge to draw art for every game as little as possible so there’s more variety ^^
