#linked universe theory

LU theory: Dark Link was created from Sky's regret!!!!

Dink has always been a dark reflection of the Hero's Spirit, but that whole cycle began with Sky. Dark Link's exact origins are unknown. But we know it had to have started with Sky, like everything did, but how?

Well, I have a theory, a game theory.

We're shown in the comic itself the exact moment that Sky realizes that he and the chain have been cursed by Demise. That knowledge is sure to weigh heavy on him. And who knows what he'll do with that realization for now.

But what about in the future? When he's back in his era, living out the rest of his life with Sun? It's not like Sky can somehow break the curse. But what if he tried?

He tried and tried. He used every scrap he could get to try and put together a coherent timeline to try and understand it all. He spent hours upon hours in the springs, begging and pleading to the goddesses to hear him, to help him. But all he was left with was a cold for spending too long in the freezing water. As if he hadn't already been punished enough. Sun attempted to reassure him, but her words fell on deaf ears. Sky persisted. At times, he couldn't bear to look at his own daughter, knowing that he'd plagued her and her children, and her children's children, and so forth. It drove him practically mad. Even in his sleep, he was tortured with visions of what was to come, and he could do nothing about it, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how many hours of his life he lost. He'd broken the world. And he'd broken himself trying to fix it.

He fell extremely ill one day. He couldn't even get out of bed anymore. It was his time, and he knew it. Sun tried her hardest to deny it. Until eventually, he passed in his sleep. But his spirit didn't move on. It lingered. He had unfinished business. He could never rest until his people were truly at peace. Which would never happen. Then he saw it. It was him, but it wasn't. It was just as angry as he was. He finally understood what it was. He'd created it. He'd left yet another curse behind for his brothers.

LU theory: Twilight is still dead

🌀 and it's all a dream 🌀

xD i wouldn't do that to you guys

but okay this is my wacky theory that i don't really believe in but it's fun anyway

cause obviously the common thought would be that the shadow has some control over twilight now that he has black blood in his system. the comic itself directly addresses that theory cause based on the links experience it would be silly if they don't consider that

Dawn pt 5

but i'm doing a fun little twist on the whole "twilight is being or going to be controlled by the shadow"

here's what i'm puttin down

this is what happens right:

twilight gets a wound that wouldn't have been deadly if they could heal it

(shifting shadows pt 7)

(sunset pt 3)

wild and the others inspires the fighting spirit into Twilight (sunset part 13)

sunset part 14, we end with twilight essentially having his life flash before his eyes but in a inspirational, i'm gonna live kinda way

and then it cuts to night when we see the shadow ressurrect

night

and of course the panel where Twilight is emerging from shadow now that he's miraculously, quickly, and suspiciously better the morning after (Dawn pt 1)

isn't it convenient that when the shadow resurrects, twilight also “resurrects” 🤔🤔🤔

here's what i think:

twilight and the shadow are (ironically) soul linked

the wound twilight got from that strange bad vibes emitting weapon did something to tie him and the shadow together

so when the shadow came back to life, that meant twilight had more strength

i think if they attack the shadow again, and "win" again, twilight isnt going to take that well

then the shadow will resurrect itself once more, bringing Twilight back to health, and oh boy would the dots connect

so essentially, twilight is still dead, he's living on borrowed time.

and we all know that Twilight becomes ol grandpa wolfie somehow in the future, and from i understand he's a spirit similar to the 3 champions who helps champion in his adventure

wouldn't it be fun if when they defeat the shadow that means that Twilight will stay dead. >:)

and like many others have pointed out these two ominous scenes from the more recent updates:

central room pt 4

Twilight moving into shadow with an ominous red light

South East Basement 1

twilight standing over what could easily be mistaken as sky

both instances more easily points to the whole "being controlled by the shadow", than my silly little theory but wanted to include them because they're related.

there are a lot of holes in this theory but it popped into my head and thought it would be fun to share.

Thanks for readin

[crazylittlejester]

I just noticed something and now i have a theory.

So way way way back a looooong time ago, Wars was the first of the chain to interact with Dink

he attacked first, he got Dink’s attention. They fight for a bit until Wars knocks him off a cliff. And they realized Wars didn’t kill him and they keep walking.

The SECOND time Dink appears, Wars is the one he targets specifically

Four notices that out of everyone, Dink seemingly targets Wars. And Wars matched him, they fight for a bit, until Wars calls to Sky and Sky does a skyward strike (im pretty sure thats what he does? he makes the sword glow so like)

After sky did this Dink seemed pretty afraid of Sky. He ran away after that.

The third time we see him, Dink firsts attacks Time and Wind, and they fight him off pretty easily, almost as if they weren’t really his targets. But he’s still actively attacking them.

And then he moves on to Sky

And when he sees Sky’s sword start to glow, he gets NOTICEABLY scared. After this happens he stops attacking the chain and tries to run away.

Hyrule and Legend both try to stop Dink, but he does escape and Twilight has to go herd him back to the group, and that’s when Twilight gets hurt. While Time, Sky, and Wars are gone trying to help Twilight, Four and the others attack Dink, and eventually it’s Wild who uses stasis to kick his ass.

Everyone had a point in the battle where they interacted with Dink, except for Warriors. Who is the one who first fought him.

My theory is that we’re going to see an epic smack down between Wars and Dink, and also Sky. Those two seem to be the ones Dink has the biggest issue with, and after the stunt Wild pulled, I think it’s safe to add him to that group as well.

I think Dink has probably recognized those three are the biggest threat to him; Wars because he’s the strategist/planner and he’s the one who fought him first, Sky because of the skyward strike that scares Dink, and Wild because he hurt Dink pretty badly even if he didnt kill him

[magpie-lu-aside]

So. About that shadow crystal and the Master Sword. (All art belongs to @linkeduniverse and JoJo!)

I want to discuss this part because I find Four, Wind, and Legends reactions interesting, specifically because it was those three who had the argument over Twi in the first place. An argument that all three of them seem to not want to bring up again at all.

I've seen some posts saying that Four and Twilight are gonna have a talk about it (and I'm sure they will) but I'm wondering if they're gonna have a talk about the argument again too. (post got long, if you want to read more its under the cut)

(takes place in sunset pt 11)

So here's the thing about The Argument™. Four and Legend are the ones to have an opinion on the crystal itself, with Wind being more concerned about Twilight's status at that moment and wondering if the blood (not the crystal) is what could corrupt him. Wind seems to be almost unconcerned about the crystal which is why I think he was excited about the transformation rather than concerned (Four) and.... Whatever Legend is doing (I'll get back to that).

Legend and Wind also almost immediately put the argument behind them. They ran to find a great fairy fountain....

... And have interacted past this point. And I think that's because overall they agree on this, both of them have trust in the Master Sword to nullify whatever corrupting power the crystal could theoretically have.

But Four and Legend on the other hand? They have not talked to each other one on one since then.

Before this, they teased each other, Four trusted him to work on Wilds sword, and they seemed fine to be in each others space and just talk and conspire a little bit. But now? They barely even speak to each other even within the group. In fact when they do interact in a group both seem... not fully annoyed but not really laughing at each others jokes either.

Also despite the fact Legend was on the team to work on Wild's sword in the beginning, he didn't show up in the towns blacksmith to help either. And while its very easily argued he did that to stay with Twilight, based on this reaction,

He was asked or at least knew they were doing it. He was also fine spoiling the surprise to Wild despite it being mainly Fours gift (and symbol of forgiveness). He refused to join either way, and I think it could both be because he wanted to be by Twilight and also because he just... Didn't really want to interact with Four.

Now to bring it back to Legends reaction to the transformation (told you it'd come back). I don't think Legend particularly likes the crystal (who can blame him really) and I think he's with Four on not really liking the magic, so unlike Wind who's excited to see it hes still a little.. Iffy on the magic itself. And I think that still can cause tension, but that's more of a red herring to the real thing that's causing strife... And that's the Master Sword itself.

Legend and Four didn't argue over the crystal. They argued about the Master Sword. I think the shadow crystal was just the tipping point to get them talking about the Sword and make Four oppose it in some way. Four has always been indifferent to the sword, not really willing to wield it and has been absent from discussing it. But after that? I think with Four and Legend being on opposing sides, along with Time and Sky (whole other discussion I cant delve into cuz good god this post is long enough as is) is leading me into thinking that the next arc is going to delve more into that strife. And its going to be harder to overcome than Twilight being injured.

tl;dr I think Four and Legend still have beef after sunset pt 11 and its going to boil over on them and its their inability to discuss the Master Sword like normal peoples fault.

[links-in-time]

Okay so I was just having a thought.

This panel from @linkeduniverse really got me thinking about timelines and Twilight being a descended of Time.

If we're all correct in thinking Times letter from Malon is her telling him that she's pregnant he could be thinking what I'm thinking.

If Malon is pregnant and the baby is born fine and grows up and everything. Time has already kind of done his job in ensuring his blood line. They only need one kid to go on and have kids of their own until eventually Twilight comes along right?

So Time may be thinking that potentially he doesn't come back from this trip. While Malon wasn't pregnant he still had a chance of getting back to her in order to make Twilight happen. But now there's a baby, Twilight has another potential ancestor to come from.

Is this making sense?

Anyway, Time may be feeling more than one sort of dread at being told he's going to be a father. He'd still want to get home to meet his kid. But story-wise he doesn't have to (he could die, in other words)

Let me know what you think in the comments. I'd love to know if any other strange little brains have had the same thought as mine.

[trippygalaxy]

Is Demise The Big Bad?

It seems that Wind (in the comic, Shifting Sands) is fated to have a terrible encounter with some beast of sorts and I think that the beast in question could likely be Demise, hear me out.

During Chapter two, part one we get a glimpse of some sort of pointed objects during Time's 'dream' and in part two it is confirmed by Sky that those pointed objects were teeth, black ones to be specific.

(Part one, left, part two, right)

Black teeth is a very specific thing, and Sky even calls it a "sea" of teeth which basically means there is a hole lot of them. And the teeth themselves are draw to be rather skinny, curving slightly at their tips but still smooth and sharp. These characteristics are very similar to a certain creature that Sky is very familiar with.

THIS THING!!!! The Imprisoned aka Demise.

But now, many of you must be thinking "But sky defeated Demise in Skyward Sword?" Which is a correct statement, but we've seen our heroes going back in time a few times now and yet Sky and Time only got these visions after entering the time period of which Skyward sword roughly took place! And we can confirm that these dreams only started now thanks to some ask the Creator answered! Here, the creator states that the group have only been together for a week before the first chapter begins!

Getting back to the time skips, it roughly adds up to time where Skyward Sword took place! Or at least the last time Sky was seen by Scrapper

Scrapper says its been 12,454 years since he has last seen Sky, and that his friend who can help the group is 11,000 years in the past, which is a HUGE jump. But this jump lands us in the time period where Demise would of been either just recently killed or is still kicking it as Demise. And frankly, I'm thinking its the latter!

And it would make sense! Look here,

"--Sky has had a precognitive dream... The last time, it changed his life."

This isn't the first time Sky has seen someone fall into the sea of teeth that belonged to the imprisoned. He saw it with his Zelda and now hes seeing it with Wind.

So yes, I do think that Demise may be the looming threat but im unsure as to why Wind would be the spotlight to that threat...Maybe thats a theory for a later date!!

@vaathnaos Your theory is done, good sir!! You don't have to confirmed or deny this, this is all just for fun and im sure whatever you have going on for your story is gonna be GREAT!

[ixtaek]

Gonna overcomplicate things but hear me out:

Legend and Twilight are alternate universe "twins", and Wind and Hyrule are as well.

In the Child Timeline, Time marries Malon, has a child, and X generations later, Twilight is born.

In the Downfall Timeline, Time dies, but Malon marries someone else, has a child, and X generations later, Legend is born.

They occupy the same "space" in the alternate timelines as each other, as Malon's descendant. Their lives are totally different because of Time and Ganondorf's activities, and even the fact that they have different ancestors, but every so often something comes up where you see the similarities. The talent with animals, the fondness for red-heads (Marin and Fable, Midna), etc. Things beyond just both being a Hero. They even both have the same favorite food.

Meanwhile, in the Adult Timeline, Malon pined for a fairy boy who had been there but was no longer. X generations passed, and Ganondorf returned like he did in the other two timelines, but no Hero emerged, as the Hero's Spirit was no longer in that timeline. The flood happened instead, with no "twin" to Twilight or Legend existing in this timeline. Z generations pass, at least 300 years worth, and Wind is born in a post-apocalyptic world. He assembles the Triforce of Courage and slays Ganondorf. He continues on his quests, saving his Zelda at least once more.

Meanwhile, in the Downfall Timeline, Z generations pass, at least 300 years worth, and Hyrule is born in a post-conquest world. He assembles the Triforce of Wisdom and slays Ganon. He continues on his quests, saving a second Zelda.

They also occupy the same "space" in the timelines as each other. Again, vastly different lives, vastly different genealogies, but occasionally the similarities emerge. Both can command nature, both have magical power. Both are explorers at heart. I also think it would be funny if Wind's favorite food is something bizarre like pickled fish eggs and everyone hates them except Hyrule, who has never had them before but suddenly realizes he finds them delicious when Wind introduces them to him.

Something is wrong with Sun. (Sky's Zelda)

Okay... so this is lowkey highkey far-fetched and a wee bit stupid... but I'm posting anyway because free will and uh... for fun.

These two pages are what sparked this dumb theory. You'd expect Sky and Sun to be exchanging letters regularly given their CLEAR attachment issues.

(Evidence of the attachment issues)

That's not "young love", Time. It is trauma. I doubt that was hyperbole given the crap Sky did to get Sun back home during the events of his game. The two are inseparable, basically two halves of one whole. Separate them if you dare.

OH WAAAIIT. They already are!!!

So why isn't Sun sending him letters? Now, there is a possibility she HAS been sending him mail. We just haven't seen it. Or, the postman just isn't visiting Sky's era since... he doesn't exist there, and he seems to only be giving out mail to the Links in the eras he exists in. And most Skyloftians just stuff a letter in their bird's beak and send em off with a pat on the back. They have no need for a mail man they have mail birds... but STILL...

Could there be an alternative, less factual, and reasonable explanation for her lack of letters?????

Uhhhh... honestly, this is more of a fanfic idea than a theory so.... why not.

THE SHADOW KIDNAPPED HER! YES! UH... PLOT DEVICE!!! CUZ SHES UH... HYLIA REBORN... AND STUFF... POWER SOURCE? REVENGE? PETTINESS? SIMPLY JUST TRYING TO BAIT SKY?!?!?!?!?

anyways... this is... so stupid... but... whatever. I've actually been really drained recently, so... no art... no writing... sorry. I needed to post like... SOMETHING. (yes, I posted that Hylia drawing, but I posted it a few days after drawing it) my creativity is gone, and all my writing drafts are so cheeks 💔 so.. eat up... I guess.... sigh MY HEAD HURTS

Zane Ro’Meave redesign done… He has two versions one with a hood and one without

I decided to give him some more Irene Motifs mostly cause he’s her high priest. I think I went heavy with inspiration from Irene’s skin lmao

Anyway, in my rewrite, white, blue and purple are associated with Irene and are seen as pure and rich colours.

Zane wears those robes because of that association and because it makes him look pure. He has an image to maintain after all. (Very ironic considering) and i replaced his mask with a veil because i think its a banger concept

I also like to think Irene and Zane have parallels considering they’re both willing to do bad things for what they perceive is good and also because they both show an image of purity even though that is highly debatable

(The only other character that wears Purple is Aphmau... just to connect them and differentiate them at the same time.)

Also Decided to replace the crosses with Irene’s symbol, hopefully I did it justice

Aside from that, I gave him curly hair and you can see a scar under the eye he covers.

I’m thinking assassination attempt that injured him (he’s blind partially now) and killed Vylad from a political rival which also led to Garroth running away. Don’t know about this yet though.

Clearer representation of my redesign below

Without Hood

With Hood

Bonus under the cut

I find it funny that Wild, who has basically a couple years ish of full life experience, comes up with the most insane theories for everything

He assumed that the only other explanation to Four being able to split in Four was. That he was quadruplets who'd been hiding this whole time???

Also apparently he believed that his wolf companion Twilight in botw was a diety (and felt very uhh shocked upon finding out that he was not)

Malon made things worse, telling him about her aliens theory

What's even FUNNIER is that every time Wild expresses any sort of confusion at magic stuff that he's never seen before, everyone else in the chain acts like it's crazy for him to be weirded out by it

Honestly maybe Wild's the only one with his head on straight, rather than everyone else who are just like 'it's magic bro' like no he's right this is weird

I appreciate this because it's very considerate of the fact that he woke up with no memories not too long ago, so he doesn't have much experience to explain the stuff that's 'normal' for the chain. Plus the explanations he comes up with are funny.

:)

Art and comic and adorable character by Jojo @linkeduniverse au :D

Adding this to my "Four and Wind are related" propaganda because LOOK at their expressions, they're nearly identical!! The only difference is Wind's squiggle mouth versus Four's lack of squiggle (which could totally be blamed on Wind's baby face).

They're related I say!!! Family!!!

(pic is linkeduniverse's you know the drill)

[m5or]

I have a small theory as to why the bulblins kidnaped the kids in Ordon while Link got left behind. Time states that Ganondorf has become afraid of children in Heroes legacy. Ganon became paranoid after his encounter with the Hero of Time.

SO back to the era of Twilight Princess. The Hero of Time has a descendant. The Hero of Time has a bloodline and Ganondorf is a ruthless man. In this vision/flashback, we see Ganon doing his evil deeds before he is banished to the Twilight realm. I think this is showcasing us that Gannon caused the ruins in tp looking for baby Twilight.

I think that this war was the start of the resistance group. The members of the resistance look for and take care of any survivors. This is where Rusl finds little link. Rusl takes the child to Ordon and raises the boy with his wife Uli. Ordon is an isolated village. The Twilight realm is a perpetual twilight, Ganondorf would be unable to tell how much time has passed, or at least have a difficult time doing so. Until he is in the realm of light again. I think at the beginning of his return is unaware that baby Link is now a young adult. So he sends his henchmen to find and capture children expecting to find a young link eventually. (wind waker style-ish) thus the children in Ordon are kidnapped. oh dear remember when I said this was a small theory.

NOW I am aware that I said that Ganondorf was unaware for a little bit that little link grew up. I have a reason, it's Collin. don't tell me he wouldn't get mistaken for a young link. The blond hair color, the way his hair is parted down the middle? blue eyes? why such a display unless you're going to parade the poor kid all the way to Ganondorf. As a way to say i found the kid you were lookin for. we the players know that Colin has round ears but it's also interesting that out of all the village kids, Colin's ears are obscured by his hair on both sides. (clarifying that the design choice that we easily see the round ear tops of the other village kids intrigues me)

[mmelete]

This probably won't happen, BUT I think this would be hilarious grouping for the next update.:

Time and Sky. Number one Hater of the master sword vs. Number One supporter. Both are adults, so they should be able to function (this is a lie). Ten minutes in and Dink runs away because he got tired of hearing them passive-agressively arguing.

Wild and Twilight. Wild seems to be pretty protective of Twilight rn, since Twi got injured. The roles have been reversed! It's Wild's turn to Not-Be-So-Wild, and Twilight is about to rip his hair out from how Motherly™ Wild is acting.

("Do you need anything? Are you feeling okay still? That chuchu hit your arm, do you need a potion?" "WILD, PLEASE----")

Legend and Warriors. Mr. Dungeon-less vs. Mr. Dungeon Master (read: prankster). Legend is about to have a BLAST teasing Warriors. Warriors is going to be grinding his teeth and praying to Hylia bc this is the third time he's tripped on his scarf and wants to cry. Bonus points of this dungeon includes floor tiles, wall masters, or those stupid freakin' orb/crystal things (ALBW/ALTTP dungeons). Legend hasn't laughed this hard in YEARS.

Hyrule, Four, and Wind. Woah, wait, is Hyrule the one trying to stay on track? Trying to NOT get lost? that's because Wind is SPEEDRUNNING this dungeon. Wind and Legend made a bet that Legend would finish first, and Wind obviously way better at this stuff! Wind does not want to lose!

Within the group, Four is the one actually fighting any monsters and gathering important items. He somehow manages to beat both Wind and Legend in their race. He's chilling too. And if anyone saw a few versions of Four with different colored tunic on, well...no you didn't lol ;)

[librarygarten]

It would be traumatic for everyone if isekai reader had no tact

Wind: How does 'Nintendo' know about our adventures?

Isekai reader: Because they created you all, they created Hylia so you would have a reason to fight, they designed every aspect of you, the clothes you wear, the movements you make, the sounds you make, the things you can and can't do, they decided the misfortunes of your adventures, they took everything from some (like Time) so that they had nothing left to lose and to increase the action of adventuring at such a young age because by having nothing they would not be afraid of dying, Being heroes was what you all were created for, your roles, they wanted a hero so they created one, they molded every aspect of you to make it, your destinies were literally written because someone needed a script to put you all together, nothing you did was your decision, nothing you have or had was really yours, it was given to you

wind: 😰

the chain:....

NOOOO don't traumatize my boys like that 😭.

Personally, I think the best way to explain it would be recursive mutliverse theory. The chain's universe is part of the mutliverse, but isekai reader is from "the next level up" so to speak. The Legend of Zelda being a game in our universe doesn't make it any less real or meaningful.

Sure, Nintendo made their universe and manipulate things within it, but that just makes the developers gods. All fiction is "real" in the sense that it exists in a universe a level below our own, meaning the reader playing the games also manipulated the chain's universe in a sense. (Deity isekai au? 👀)

[trippygalaxy]

Sky isn't First's reincarnation, Warriors is.

Heads up, this is just a headcanon! I am using LOZ canon in parts to help fortify my thinking but again, this isnt to prove a point!

Also tagging people below! I was going to reblog my og post but this came out too long and would just be better as its own post!

I believe that Sky isn't the reincarnation of Hyila's chosen hero, but instead the hero's incarnation. While both the fandom (loz and lu) and the canon use the two words interchangeably, they truly do have two different meanings, even if they are considered 'small.'

So does this mean I believe Warriors to be the hero's direct reincarnation? In a way, yes I do. I believe that there are some threads in canon that can stablize this idea, but most are based on personal preference and headcanons.

If you wanna know more, ill be going more into it under the cut!

Firstly, the difference between reincarnation and an incarnation!

Reincarnation, defined as “a person or animal in whom a particular soul is believed to have been reborn”

an example of this would be Sky, Sun and Demise. We see many of these reincarnations, but most notably and factual would be Demise’s reincarnation to Ganondorf. They share the same soul, at least the one from OOT does.

Incarnations, Defined as “a person who embodies in the flesh a deity, spirit, or abstract quality.”

Now, there arent any solidly proven instances in LOZ but most can assume that Nayru, Din and Farore from the OOS and OOA games/mangas are incarnations of the deities they are named after. But a more well rounded example would be to look at mythos in the real world, specifically Greek mythos with their gods Gaia, Thanatos, Nyx, and more.

Sky, or SS Link, has been believed to be the reincarnation of the First hero (“First”), is it even easier to prove him to be a incarnation. Sky, in the canon of Skyward Sword (“SS”) is not proven to be the direct reincarnation of the chosen hero- he is said to be the chosen hero, and plays such roll in the story of SS but there is nothing that says he is the direct reincarnation of First. Perhaps there is evidence that states otherwise, that is likely in the vast canon of Legend of Zelda, but it feels (and is stated) that the cycle of ‘reincarnation’ starts with SS link and his Zelda.

An incarnation feels like the better fit for the character of Sky. He is, and would be, the incarnation of the Chosen Hero, a heroic spirit known for his courage and loyalty to the divine. Hyila in the uncanon manga stated that she would meet First again, but again we do not get any notion that this refers to any reincarnation like the goddess takes.

Now for Warriors, or Hw Link, there are obviously the visual similarities that connect Warriors with First as both are the only one seen to wear scarves, as well as the one shoulder pauldrons. But it should also be noted the similarities in the stories both partake in. The main concept is very similar to the rest of the courageous heroes, but these two seem to be the only was who have fought in war of sorts, both battling against a dark army as the only hero able to fall the mighty leader.

Now, most of the rest of these thoughts would be based on the frames of headcanons rather than facts, as the idea behind this thought was of the poetic similarities between the two characters rather than facts within the LOZ or LU canon

Warriors and First being the 'leaders' of a war, neither being ready for such responsibilities yet being forced to none the less because they are the only ones able to hold such responsibilities

Both feeling unworthy of holding such power for being 'unpure' (First; being imprisoned for 4 years, Wars; encounters with Cia and/or having Dark Link being created)

Being experienced, infield fighters compared to dungeon crawlers, both of which are used to working with others in planning/fighting

First has been characterize within the fandom (and canon) as a recluse, naturally from his trauma of imprisonment yet even then he still has this authoritative status and energy to him. And while Warriors is seen as anything BUT a recluse in the fandom, it is still canon within the canon that he was infact a mute. So, its interesting to note how similar the two's nature would of been if certain characteristics in canon werent there (ie, HW link getting overconfident and prideful, which First shows little to no traits of in his appearances)

Back to characterization, both tend to be depicted as chivalrous men, either because of their roles as important 'military' figures or their natural personalities.

These are really just my beginning thoughts on this! Im....I like this idea a lot- as you can tell!
