I'm still thinking about my headcanon that Lullaby's daughter almost looks like a little carbon copy of Tetra and it freaks Wind out.

Like Time introduces them like

"Everyone meet my niece, Zelda. She just turned six."

"Aw she's adorable Time! :D"

Wind having a fucking crisis

Spirit!!! I love him! Phantom is his Zelda

[the-roxanne]

Can someone please tell me the names of all of the Zelda's for the Linked Universe AU???? Not knowing their names makes it difficult to read fanfics for the au

[screamting]

Anyway, the Links from Multiple Eras AUs are missing a niche but incredibly funny variation where all those guys still find each other and are traipsing around the hyruleverse, but keep getting chased down by Hyrule Warriors Link like "It's you fucks!! Again!! Stop opening all these fucking portals!!!!"

autism is all fun & games until you can’t get into something based on a thing you know too much about because it gets some aspect of that thing wrong

Would it be ok if someone did the whole pain sharing concept thing (I mean specifically akin to the flavor you've given it) with a completely different set of links?-

- sincerely a fan of the pain sharing au(and LU) who is currently making his own linkedverse

Hmmm

Short answer: I'd rather prefer you didn't

Long answer:

Even though the concept of pain sharing isn't like entirely mine, since there's other pieces of media that use it too, this specific au has been built almost as a collaboration with my followers

I don't really see it as entirely mine, since so many hcs and ideas have come from brainstorming with the lovely anons and fans of the au

Like the entire ravio addition + the lorule-hyrule soul bond literally came out of multiple anons chiming in and giving their ideas!

It's kinda a cooperative thing, so for you to take the au we've been crafting for so many months, with so many hcs and amazing ideas from so many people and use it for another set of links, feels a lil bit disrespectful to everyone involved? But idk maybe I'm looking too much into it and my followers don't care as much as I do 😅

Like I sincerely see it as a community effort since the reason why it is what it is, is thanks to everyone's input 😅 it's a group project at this point

Especially since you mentioned the "flavor I've given it" like, if you want to do your pain sharing au I'd rather you make an entire different twist to it with your own flavor! like idk maybe add in the wound sharing a lot of people were suggesting at the beginning!

Like that would be cool! Or add in full on feelings sharing, with the good and bad feelings added, etc.

If you want to explore another side of the pain sharing concept with completely different characters then I fully support it! But if it's exactly like mine then I'd rather you didn't 🙈

I do want to thank you for asking me though, that was very thoughtful of you! I really appreciate it!

One of my favorite Linkedverse story is about the Links going feral for a rubix cube and like the only one unaffected was Wars cause his game doesn’t really revolve around any puzzles.

thinking about how Link in-universe must be like... into puzzles and really good at solving them, since that's such a pivotal part of the gameplay of all Zelda games. and like. In totk, when Zelda hid his new Champion's Leathers in the throne room, she hid it behind a simple little torch puzzle, which adds such a cute personal touch to the gesture 🥺

GUYS!!! GUYS!! GUYS!

I stumbled on something. I think… No! This is important! Okay, okay! I was on Zelda Wiki. Learning about Bae.

Why because he is kinda important and predates Sky. Actually knew Hylia and was a Great Noble Hero of Hyrule.

Okay Emp we know this. But wait theres more! I mean hold the phone and drink some milk for this one! Hylia legit loved this dude and this dude loved her back even knowing the ramifications of what will go down. She tempered his spirit and used that to mold a future hero. Was she guilty? Obviously. Hence why this was one of the main factors to go full blown mortal!

Emp get to your point. Okay, I’m getting there I promise!

Read this excerpt:

Given the background, it occurred to me that if Hylia loved this particular hero that much wouldn’t she want to do more than just utilize the blueprints of the Hero’s Spirit? She most definitely did that, that's totes cannon...

However... the first Link was just a Hylian. A warrior. Renowned for his aptitude and mastery of the blade. Before the land of Skyloft, he was known for his bravery, his heroism, and his strength. He was so well known that people of the land even persecuted Bae for treason.

Now...for Skyward Sword, he is briefly mentioned. The facts, in game, are that Hylia was injured, when in fact it was the first Link (in the manga). This is easily explainable, because these events transpired thousands of years ago. Historic information is often lost in translation especially if there is no record keeping or the texts are damaged.

Jumping forward in Ocarina of Time era. No one knows about the first Link, let alone Demise. Heck, I wager anything after Skyward no one knows about that war. It’s forgotten.

It’s forgotten...

Who else do we know that is forgotten?

May I present the Fierce Diety!

What do we know about him? Pretty much nothing. Save for this excerpt:

“You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?”

Hylia loved the First Link so she molded the hero’s spirit’s blueprints but what if she encapsulated his raw power and strength within a mask? What if Termina was the Kingdom that was left behind before Skyloft was... Skyloft?

Of course, Termina would have lay in ruins and when people came back to the lands... People rebuilt. The Fierce Diety’s mask was recieved in Termina. No one knows who made it and it’s also said that the Diety sealed Majora before... The first Link was a Great Hero and could have smited Majora’s evil making him well known. Demise isn’t the only threat to the Lands of Hyrule....

So could The First Link’s Spirit and Raw Power be split? Yes. The Spirit harnesses the soul and courage; while, the Mask possesses a Warrior's tenacity and strength.

You are Welcome. This theory and headcanon brought to by Emp.

I kinda really like how this turned out,,,, I planned to draw more with it but then I got hit with the big ol Art Block™. I do really like how Green turned out in that one thing!

[swordmunch]

Yeah Nintendo gives absolutely zero shits about the lore. It’s like.

Have you ever seen that meme about the Zelda fans doing lore like with the red string corkboard and conspiracy tinfoil hat and then the devs doing lore holding a hand over their eyes and throwing a dart at a dartboard lmao

But yeah I can absolutely get behind this. Was just like. Confuzzled. Though. Now the question becomes: where in Fable/Legend’s timeline is this??? Bc now I’m on board and fully agree with you (haven’t played the whole game…..opinion may be subject to change but prolly not tbh)

I think it’s like. Feel like it’s his first one tbh. Somewhere early in the timeline. So like—second if not first. I’m thinkin ALTTP—>EOW—>Oracle Games—>Tri Force Heroes wait now I’m thinking

Tri Force Heroes

Tri Rod / boi

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Coincidence

BUT I can make it into meaning *rubs hands together evilly* (see above described meme)

Anyway not matter what after that is ALBW and then linkedverse

anyways i HAVE decided that eow is Fable and Legend, and u cannot take this from me. Thats all

[zmyaro]

I know it isn't going to happen, but with the success of Marvel, Sony, and Warner Bros. making all manner of crossover movies with IPs they have the rights to, this is THE moment for Nintendo to greenlight a Linkedverse movie.

[screamting]

I have to survive work with the power out for 6 more hours phone at 85% if I post a Multiple Links piece will you all talk to me about it

[bloodbatbailey]

Long haired Link! Long haired Link! Long haired Link! My 300 something hours in botw had to go somewhere
