#lu legend belt

[ereighna]

Finally sewing the belt facets on Legends belt. Husband had to remake them.

Special Dancing Commissions Available!

"There's no one else. We have to do it. Otherwise..."

I remade the Funeral Dance Piece cause I kept hating it the more I looked at it and then I decided to make things worse for myself by drawing Twilight - who's the only other Link besides Time that I truly struggle to draw.

[writing-and-roses]

So I did a thing. This was supposed to be a quick sketch for the @linkeduniverse discord that devolved into me sitting at my tablet for a good 12 hours straight. Oops.

So here's some art of Sky and his bird companion!

[ageless-soul-au]

Thought about ch 32 of Confidential when drawing this!! This was also an excuse to design Legend's blue tunic fr. I always imagined the undertunic shiny and very textured, but I didn't have a clear design for the blue overtunic until now, I just knew it should be pretty. I think it's got a deep V in the front, maybe with gold embroidery and/or chains bridging the gap of the V to go with the chain around his waist and the sleeve clasps.

Don't tag as LU, thank u :) also u should read Confidential if ur 18+ and like slow burn :)

LU/ATLA: Sketches part 4

Look at these new lovely sketches. I’ll do the facial expressions later, for now, the rest!

Going back to one version for this character. Wind was a special case cause he absolutely needed to have a winter coat version of him.

There will be two others who will have two versions of them for sure. Maybe three? Haven’t decided for the third one but the answer is leaning towards yes.

I absolutely love his flipping hair! Just look at it! Ears are a bit big and floppy but that’s why it’s called a sketch.

Leg flaps. That’s it. Leg flaps.

Water Tribe Belt.

Rando: “But you already did all the water benders. Right?”

Me/Joy: “😈”

Rando: “Right?”

Me/Joy: “It’s called the Lore Belt.”

Some preliminary costume designs for Ravio from Retired Assets (my upcoming fiction set after the LU adventures).

The story starts with Ravio being attacked and injured, and he will have to deal with the physical and emotional consequences of losing his right eye.

Ravio will also receive a small dagger (handmade by Legend & Four!) for self defence. He will carry the weapon under his sleeve for the rest of the story.

He will be wearing his usual rabbit hood costume, but with some blue potions for safety measures. (A hard lesson to learn… always carry enough supplies, on your belt or otherwise).

YES, he will get a new look for the Finale, but I will not spoil it just yet!!

This is a face/hair study I made yesterday to show how my art style for this project differs from that of ALBW and LU.

💜🫂✍️

Note that the story is a tragedy, so sorrowful events will befall kind characters. Ravio and Legend will fail to face their fears and make small but wrong decisions that will come back to haunt them.

[the-au-collector]

Ok so I've decided to do some digging to try to figure out who the other Mystery Link is. I couldn't find a full version of the LU banner but I did find screenshots from this ask that Jojo answered all the way back in 2018. Idk if she cropped the picture after that, but the banner is still the same picture, just cropped.

I decided to start with the first unconfirmed(?) Link, First, since we already know that's who it is. Idk if anyone's done this before but here is my breakdown:

Mystery Link 1 (First) pretty closely matches with the depiction of him from the Manga. The hair matches, you can see the scarf, his pauldron, his belt, his double-crossing straps. It all matches pretty perfectly, so obviously this is First. We already know that this is First.

The question is who is this guy:

He's very confusing.

So we know he has short hair, wears a strap across his chest, has this weird item on his belt, and wears a split tunic. His boots also come up to about his knees. He looks pretty tall, too. His collar is what I would describe as Legend-esque. It's very similar to Legend's collar. He shirt almost reminds me of Wild? IDK why

I'm going to immediately cross out Spirit and Age as candidates since Jojo has already confirmed they're part of Wind and Wild respectively. I also want to cross off Shadow here too. Mr. Mystery is too tall to be Shadow. I'm also quasi-crossing out Cadence of Hyrule Link since I don't think that game was released when jojo was plotting Linked Universe, but I'm not 100% sure about that so it's open I'm just not considering it for this.

So my thoughts immediately go to four other characters. My immediate thought was CDI Link. I also remembered that cartoon Link exists. And upon closer inspection, I'm not unconvinced Mr. Mystery isn't Time.

So let's go through all 3:

CDI Link

Okay he doesn't really match... at all. At the same time, I want to take this moment to take another look at Legend's design since that deviates quite a lot from his canon designs in the series (so does Four's design) so I'm not going to completely dismiss CDI Link's potential. The item on the hip especially seems to match the compasses from Zelda's adventure. But CDI Link himself...

No. His hair is long. His boots kind of match, but he isn't wearing any outward straps and those compasses are also from a game where the protagonist is Zelda not him. Mostly his hair and simplistic design is the main thing throwing me off. Especially the hair.

Likelihood: ehhh we'll go 6/10.

Cartoon Link

I'm going to be honest I forgot he existed.

Anyways he does have the low-cut neck and the short hair and the thing on his belt. But, like every Link, he has the Default Link Outfit which doesn't really say much since (like we see with Legend and Four especially) jojo will change designs to make the Links more distinct. Someone could theoretically argue she wouldn't change Cartoon much since his hair is already brown instead of blonde...

Honestly for being a Link not included in LU, I'd say he matches pretty close to Mr. Mystery. Closer than CDI anyways.

Likelihood: 7/10. Depends on how different Jojo would be willing to make his design for the comic (he could also be combined with CDI Link too, which would up it to 8/10)

But I noticed something else. Mr. Mystery's outfit and face look a little familiar...

Young Time perhaps?

They have the strap, the belt, the low-cut shirt, the short hair. Mr. Mystery's face literally lines up to Time's chin. I feel like that's significant since jojo made all the Links' face and eye shapes distinct.

The only thing I can't think of is why we would have an alternate version of Time. Maybe we'll see Downfall Time? Maybe Time is Sir Raven after all?

Idk, the more I looked at Mr. Mystery the more I realized he looked a lot like Time.

Likelihood: 4/10. It would be cool, but idk why Jojo would make 2 Times join the party.

Also something very interesting from the banner image:

Ravio's included!

Pinkie Fic

New longfic!!!

Prologue and Chapter 1 of Act 1 is out!

This is a fic to challenge myself to write longer things and actually finish an LU longfic for once.

A deaged legend fic

A child locked in a box in the depths of an old cave is something Wild had never expected to come across, but a child with strawberry pink hair is just what he finds in there. The unexpected kid is an addition to their party and what can the Links do but continue where their quest takes them? After all, they can use this time to help recover Pinkie's identity and how xe ended up in that box in the first place.

Chapter 1: The chain figure out what to do with the kid and Wild has a dream

=====

Prologue:

Wild hopped down another ledge into the cave, sword in hand. Something was calling him further in and Wild was very, very curious. He walked past soaked floor and into an opening in the cave.

It was an open space, smoothed and rounded out. Water covered the ground but only covering his feet and there was a mound of moss and dirt that looked very deliberately placed to hide something. Wild crept up to it, sweeping off everything with his arms until what stood before him was a big, square wooden box. Unlike most chests that were unlocked, this one had a massive lock on it and was incredibly airtight. The champion brought his blade to the lock breaking it open and it took some effort to snap the lid off until it swung open.

Wild stiffled a gasp.

Inside the box there was a child, the body of a child. They seemed very young. The child was curled in on themselves in a foetal position and their mouth was agape and still, half submerged in water. Wild could see bruising and massive scars all along the tiny body. Their fingers were bloody with torn off skin and nails as if they had been clawing at something, they were also barefooted and skin on the feet were sore. They were dressed in a red dress with a dark green belt that was torn up and they had pastel pink hair. The child, the dead child, had tears along their face, paralised in fear. Wild wanted to weep, why was this child trapped down here in a half flooded box in the depths of a freezing and dangerous cave? His thoughts ran while he figured out what to do, but that was decided when the child suddenly started to tense and their eyes flew open, darting around until they focused on him and wimpered in fear. Though they tried to scramble away, their arms and legs weren't co-opperating and the box was too small to move anywhere.

Wild threw his hands up, "hey hey there, calm down, it's alright, i won't hurt you," The child's breaths started to slow down, "my name is Wild, let me get you out of here." He reached down and scooped the child up, careful not to injure them further. They were small and malnurished and shivering in his arms, clothes and hair waterlogged and heavy, "hey kid, it's alright, ill get you somewhere safe. Could you tell me your name?"

The child's eyes closed as they went limp in his arms, "im.... so cold..." they whispered, Wild's heart broke. The child's heartbeat was practically non-existent, Wild almost couldn't feel it when he placed his fingers to their neck. He had to get them to the others.

LU: Sparring Session with Time

SYNOPSIS: The group of misfit incarnations of the Hero's Spirit arrived in another version of Hyrule and recruited their latest member, the Hero of the Wild. The newest Link was slowly warming up to the rest of the group and has shown to be a capable fighter like the rest of them. Though Time does noticed that their newest member has some hidden abilities.

Every incarnation of the Hero had their own unique set of fighting styles and special abilities. 

Time, as the oldest and most experienced of the group, had a keen eye of predicting the opponent's actions to compensate for his aging slowness. He had years of battle experiences and the odd fight duels under his belt. He could tell a person's level of fighting capability just by observing how they maintain their stance and the way they handle their weapons.

Twilight was the strongest in the group and relied primarily on his strength when engaged in fights. Whether it be during a real battle or in practice. One swing of his arm could easily knock his opponents back without breaking a sweat. Though his level of experience was only just below their senior.

Wind, as the youngest, was the most active and adaptable fighter in the group. He was very jumpy and could reach incredible heights despite his short height. He also had a surprisingly strong grip for his age and was able to swing a sword twice his weight without relying too much on his own stamina.

Warriors was a professional knight with the stance and had the posture of a military leader. He was able to stand his ground as easily as Twilight and had a preference to go onto the offensive against his foes. He was especially deadly when he was paired with one of his brothers-in-arms. With his tactical mind, the Captain was able to plan out a strategy on his feet with precision.  

Sky on the other hand, had the refinement and reflexes of a dancer. He had a level of deadly elegance when wielding the Master Sword in his hands. His feet and arms moved so swiftly and yet his eyes, when focused, flared qqqwith controlled fury. Warning his opponents of his hidden capabilities with the sacred blade as an extension of himself.

Four took advantage of his short height when he was up against any opponent that towered over him. He was one of the quickest amongst the others, able to dodge and ran around his enemies that were slower to react or recover. He may not have the same strength like Warrior or Twilight but he definitely had the ability to quickly stagger his enemies when they least expected it.

Legend was the most resourceful and arguably, the most prepared with the amount of items he tended to carry on his person. He was ready at any given moment and can flawlessly switch between his equipment. Sword, shield, bow and arrow and magic rods. When he teams up with another person, he is always ready to assist the others in whatever way he could assist.

Hyrule on the other hand, often stuck to a basic set of equipment. His boomerang was often his first choice when in need of a distraction or long range attacks. His style of fighting was described as being 'unorthodox' based on his street smarts and experience as a wandering adventurer. But he took advantage of his unique style against his opponents who may not be used to his kind of movement. 

And then there was Wild. The newest addition to the group.

.

It had been two weeks since the Hero of the Wild had joined their group. It had taken him some time to adjust into a group setting after being a solo adventurer for a long time. But from what the others - especially Time and Twilight - had observed, Wild was a very capable all-rounder fighter.

He was a survivalist and reacted quickly to any changes, especially when considering the post apocalyptic state of his Hyrule where monsters and enemies could ambush anyone at any corner. Like Legend and Hyrule, he was resourceful and well-rounded with almost any weapon - sword and shield, bow and arrow, claymores, rods and spears - you name it. He had a similar knightly posture like Warriors but preferred to be on the defensive. His shield arm was stronger than his sword arm. Being able to stagger a Lynel or deflect Guardian laser back without too much strain. 

Though there was one thing that Time did observe from Wild during a recent fight.

During a rain-soaked fight, the group had the misfortune of disturbing a nearby camp of Bokoblins, Lizalfos and Moblins while travelling through the East Necluda region towards Wild's home in Hateno Village. 

Nine Heroes against a couple of monsters?  Not a problem! They were still working on their battle dynamics as a whole but a monster camp would be a good exercise for them. 

Wild led the fight. They were on his homeground and this survivalist Hero was no stranger to this kind of monster encounter. With Hyrule and Twilight as his support. the trio fought up along the treehouse-like camp that the monsters had built to take down any archers while the rest dealt with the monsters on the ground. 

At some point towards the end of that fight, Time had put down a Lizalfos with his favoured Biggoron Sword when he noticed in the distance that Wind was about to be overwhelmed by a Moblin after it knocked off the youngest Hero's weapon with its giant wooden club. Wind was too far for him or anyone else to assist him in time. Wild must have spotted Wind's situation as well because Time spotted the latest Hero suddenly jump off from the highest platform of the tree camp. 

Then in a blink of an eye, the sword and shield in Wild's hands were suddenly bow and arrows. And before the Hero of Time could process through his mind what he saw, the Moblin was immediately shot and electrocuted. It immediately dropped its club onto the ground which gave Wind the opportunity to take it and knocked the towering monster with one spinning swing. Once the monster was down, Wild deployed his Paraglider to slow down his fall and landed next to Wind on ground level. First checking on the youngest Hero if he was okay before the two Heroes high-five one another. 

All this happened in under 10 seconds or less, Time reckoned. He could have sworn that Wild had fired more than one arrow when he made that staggering shot at the Moblin. While some of the other Links — primarily Four, Sky and Wind — were fast and had quick reflexes. What he witnessed from Wild earlier was closer to superhuman-like speed. 

It reminded him of Sheik during his first Hero journey. One moment, you were alone. Next, they appeared in front of you without a sound. And then, a dagger at your throat. Warning him of his slowness . 

He wondered... 

.

"Hey, old man!" Time's train of thought was interrupted by Twilight who approached him from behind with a bowl of warm meal. 

"Oh thank you," the older Hero said as he accepted the food offering.

Both Time and Twilight stood outside of Wild's house in Hateno Village, just by the front entrance. The survivalist Hero had offered up his home as place for respite after a long journey the group endured through this post-apocalyptic version of Hyrule. The village, its residents and liveliness was in contrast to the empty and ruined settlements that the Heroes had passed by. It was a nice change of pace though. The feeling of being in the company of friendly people instead of the possibility of monsters ambushing them. 

Inside, Wild was serving lunch and was passing around bowls of his latest meal - Creamy Meat Soup with deer meat and milk he purchased from a passing merchant. To have a cook like him around was a blessing from the Goddesses for the group. 

 "So...what's in your mind?" Twilight asked the older man. 

Time raised his eyebrows as he ate through his bowl. It was starting to make him miss Malon's homemade meals . 

"Nothing too bothersome. I was thinking back to the fight we had earlier." 

"Oh? I'll admit that our team dynamic still needs work but I thought that we did rather well."

"I was thinking more about our host."

"The Champion?" Twilight looked up to his mentor before he settled down his wooden spoon into the bowl, "...What about him?"

Time settled down his bowl by the stone leap before taking a deep breath as he recalled his thoughts. "...When I saw him jump off the platform to assist Wind on the ground, in just a blink of an eye...I saw his sword and shield were suddenly changed into bow and arrows. And...I think he may have fired more than one arrow too."

"Oh! You mean his slowdown time perception?"

Time blinked for a moment before he turned his attention back to Twilight, "... What?"

Twilight chomped down the last of the soup into his mouth before holding the now empty bowl in his hand. He let out a sigh of satisfaction before replying back to his senior. "Yeah. The Champion... Wild... has this slowdown perception of time ability whenever he focuses. Especially when he's firing arrows mid air."

Time raised an eyebrow to his protégé, "...And how long have you known about this?"

"Don't you remember what I told you, old man? I've visited Wild and this version of Hyrule multiple times in the past in my Beast form. Long before I joined our group of misfit Heroes."

Time had a skewered frown with his arms crossed as he leaned against the stone wall foundations behind them. "...And you did not consider informing me about the Champion's hidden abilities?"

"That's because I did not know if I was going to see the kid again. My last appearance here was about...three months ago...for me at least," Twilight sighed. Just as his thumb pointed back inside the house. "...Six months for the kid." 

The older Link frowned more deeply. Ah, the asynchronous nature of time .

 The two Heroes then looked back inside the house. They saw that the rest of the group were also enjoying their meals. Sky was complimenting the Champion that his Creamy Meat Soup was delicious while Legend was declaring out loud that they will definitely never let go of him and his cooking. Their compliments were causing their newest member to blush pink in the cheeks. Very flattered that they all liked his food. Twilight could see that Wild was still adjusting to having so many people giving him this much attention and praise. 

 "If you want..." Twilight turned his attention back to his mentor, "...You can ask the cub to spar with you."

"Oh? What made you suggest this?" Time raised his brows. 

"I sparred with the kid a couple of times in the past. He's a strong fighter. Though, I'll tell you now, he can be full of surprises. If he's not intimidated by you that is," Twilight smirked, rather knowingly.

Time chuckled a bit with his arms crossed, "...Well then, perhaps next time when I have the chance." 

"Just be careful with him, ah? I hate to see Wild get himself hurt again..." The wolf Hero added, rather casually. Even though his eyes suggested otherwise.

. . .

It was a cool afternoon when the Heroes of misfits settled into the newest member’s home. After spending days traversing through this version of Hyrule that was larger and wider than any previous version of their homeland the group had visited so far. Just being able to relax and laze around was a blessing itself. 

While the Champion cleaned up after their lunch, the rest of the group settled down a bit and  spreaded themselves throughout their host’s home to relax. It was nice, Wild admitted, to have other people around but under the condition that they do not break anything. Legend jokingly mentioned that they could say the same thing about Wild's tendency of breaking almost anything in his hands. Which to the latter's annoyance.

Sky quickly found Wild's bed in the loft area upstairs and immediately fell asleep on top of the soft bed. Wild was still a bit baffled that the most refined and arguably strongest swordsman that he ever had the honour to fight alongside with was such a deep sleeper. 

As Sky snored away, Four and Wind had also made their way up to the loft area. Their eyes were immediately caught by the large framed photograph - 'pictograph' as Wind called them - on the wall above the dresser. A younger Wild with shorter hair. Alongside his Zelda and four other individuals. One from the four other races of Hyrule. The Hero of the Wild had already explained to them a bit about himself as one of the 'Champions' of this Hyrule. Himself as the 'Hylian Champion' while the others were Champions of their respective raise. He did not explain any further than that though. With his memory problems and guilt that still clawed through him from inside. 

Both Four and Wind wisely decided not to ask Wild about the photograph for now. Wind did notice a small framed photograph of Wild and what looked like his Zelda. Smiling. And it looked to have been recently taken. Next to a small vase of a bouquet of Silent Princess flowers.

In the main area of the house, Legend and Warriors were browsing through Wild's mounted collection of weapons and shields displayed on the wall. Hyrule was looking through the bookshelves around the house. Even though he could not read this world's version of the Hylian script he admired the illustrations drawn on the pages. 

Legend noted that Wild had mounted his own Hylian Shield as a display rather than utilising it in his adventures.

Warrior had taken an interest towards a pair of Gerudo weaponry. "Hey Wild, where did you get these?"

Wild turned around after storing away the dishes and pots into the cabinets, "...Oh, they were given to me. The sword's called the 'Scimitar of the Seven'. And the shield's 'Daybreaker'. They're Urbosa's signature weapons."

"Who's Urbosa?"

"She's the Gerudo Champion from one hundred years ago. The Gerudo gave them to me in gratitude. After I stopped the rogue Divine Beast, Vah Naboris."

Warriors, Legend and Hyrule flinched with all unspoken enquiries in regards to the other mounted weapons’ significance were immediately set aside for now. Though Wild did not seem to notice as he finished wiping away the last of the mess.

Meanwhile outside, Twilight was checking on Epona who was grazing on the tall grass in front of the small horse stable alongside Wild's own horse. Or at least, one of his own horses. The wolf Hero was a little disappointed that the Champion did not have his giant horse with its long orange mane 

Would that be a sight to behold for the others to see?  

He chuckled to himself as he guided Epona around to the nearby drinking pond.

Once Wild had finished storing away his kitchen utensils, it was only then that Time decided to approach him when he entered back inside the house. 

"Champion."

The Hero of Wild flinched. Almost jumping up in surprise when he heard Time calling out his title name. "Um, yes?" His voice stuttered when he turned around to face the older Link.

"Do you have a moment with me outside?" Time asked him. Nodding his head towards the door. 

Wild was unsure at first. Even though it had been only two weeks, he was still not used to being around the Hero of Time. The leader of the group who he still found to be rather intimidating to be in the presence of. Especially with his look of disappointment that Twilight kept telling him about ever since he decided to join the group. Time saw his hesitation and gave him a warmer smile to hopefully ease Wild's awkwardness around him.

 "Don't worry, I’m just wondering if you have the time to spar with me?” 

Wild’s eyes widened with his eyebrows raised in surprise. 

Everyone else inside the house immediately turned their attention towards the two. With the exception of Sky who was still asleep.

“Oh, I um-“ Wild stuttered, flattered by the offer when his arm was suddenly tackle-hugged by Wind after rushing down from the loft area. 

“YOU GOTTA DO IT, WILD!” Wind shouted out loud, practically screaming in excitement. Causing Wild to wince a bit. “...Do you have any idea what an honour it is to be spar with Time!”

Wild stiffened a little but when he looked down, he could see the glimmer of sheer happiness in Wind’s eyes. 

“Okay Sailor, you’re making him more nervous.” Warrior laughed as he pulled the young Hero away. He then winked to Wild though, “...But seriously though, you should take his offer. It’s not very often that the Old Man spars with any of us young lads during practice.” 

Time rolled his eyes with an amused smile .

Hyrule then patted Wild on the shoulder, Though the latter flinched by the sudden touch. "...The Hero of Time’s not only the best fighter amongst us. He is also a really good teacher! Most of us have sparred with him at least once,” the Traveller Hero smiled to him with reassurance. 

“That is if he doesn’t knock your sword off first,” Legend added with a nod.

Wild tensed up by the sudden attention towards himself. Though when he did look back up to Time, the elder Link simply gave him a smile of encouragement.

Time then raised his hands and signed to him, ”Ready?”

Wild was a little surprised before a smile silently appeared and nodded to him.

Time chuckled, “Let’s go then.”

Both Heroes soon headed out through the front door with the remaining Links following them behind. Wild then pointed towards the back of his property where there was a large empty space they could use as a practice ground. 

“I say 50 rupees that Time knocks down Wild,” Legend nudged his elbow onto Warrior.

Warrior rolled his eyes, “...That’s too easy to predict.”

“Hey, you never know.” Four chirped in with a shrug, “...If Wild is anything like this version of Hyrule, there could be a surprise in store.”

“Are you talking about me?” Hyrule turned around to the three behind him. 

”No." Warriors, Legend and Four replied in unison.

“Ah, okay,” Hyrule pouted. 

Nearby Twilight continued to tend after his trusted steed by the pond. The ranch hand gave a simple nod of acknowledgement as the group passed by. 

So the Old Man extended his offer then, ah?  

Twilight thought to himself with a knowing smirk while patting Epona’s long white mane. 

"Oh, this gonna be good."

.

Warriors, Four, Legend, Wind and Hyrule sat on a long tree log that was placed there some time ago by Wild. All five just relaxed as they watched their newest member fiddled with his Sheikah Slate - a strange but fascinating magical item in their eyes. Though Wild kept insisting that it was more of 'science' than magic. With nigh functions and almost infinite amount of storage space, essentially making it a portable storage unit. Legend once commented that he would kill to get his hands on something like that for his items . Especially for its automatic storing system. 

"Do you need a shield?" 

"No, no. We'll just be using swords for now," 

Wild stiffened a little but obliged to the elder Hero's requests. With one press on the screen, a flash of blue light appeared around his hand as he summoned a Knight's Broadsword. 

"Here you go," He then handed it over to Time for him to borrow. 

Time raised both of his eyebrows as he accepted the weapon. He was very impressed by what the Slate could do. Wild summoned another Broadsword from his inventory into his hand before putting the Slate back on his belt. 

After a few warm up swings, Time smirked to his student-for the day. 

"Are you ready?"

Wild with a firm look, nodded.  

With a breathtaking view of the East Necluda valley as their backdrop as the sun was slowly turned towards the afternoon horizon. The light of Hateno Tower glimmering blue in the distance. Time and Wild raised up their blades together with a metal cling as they crossed one another. Both Heroes went into their battle stance for today's sparring session.

"Show me what you got," Time instructed Wild as he positioned himself into a defensive stance. 

Wild nodded silently as his grip onto his Broadsword tightened. His posture quickly changed into offensive and launched himself towards the older Link with his sword swinging upwards. 

Time blocked the swing with ease. Just by the first strike, he already got a feeling of Wild's strengths. It was not as powerful as Twilight's, but it had the sharpness like Warrior's but was not as refined as Sky's . He pushed Wild back who was able to keep his balance and his grip onto the Broadsword and quickly recovered for another round of swings. Time took notes of Wild's other capabilities as he continued to either block or dodge each of his student-of-the-day's attacks. 

Wild was light on his feet, always ready to hop or change his stance when it needed to be. Similar to Four's and Wind's quick movements . But his arms were a little loose but his grip onto his sword remained firm as he went for a strike. Time felt the vibration of his power travelling through his blade when he raised it to block Wild's attempted attack. 

And in that split second, Time saw a glimpse of Wild's focus. His face hardened with that same fierceness of a knight. A soldier. His bright blue eyes darkened with controlled yet silent fury. It was a stark contrast to the Wild that he had known so far. A young man, scarred by past burdens and was still learning how to open with others. 

It was almost like Time was meeting a different person.

.

And within that moment, Wild's blade suddenly broke into a shard of light. Much to the younger Hero's frustration. That fierceness he had within was suddenly replaced with embarrassment. 

They could just hear a soft snicker from Legend on the sidelines about Wild's breaking tendencies towards Warrior. Hyrule had a deadpanning frown towards his predecessor before nudging him rather hard to stop.

"Sorry..." Wild apologised quietly. Turning his face away from his teacher-for-the-day. The scars on his face glowing a little by the afternoon sun. 

"You don't have to apologise. We can work around this," Time told him as he rested the Broadsword on one hand. The other on Wild's shoulder with a firm grip of encouragement. "...Do you still want to continue?"

Wild looked up to him. At first with doubts but they quickly went away when the younger Hero gave his full attention. He then took a deep breath and gave him a serious nod. 

"Yes."

Time could not help but laugh a bit. "No need to be so serious. This is just practice after all."

"Um, right." Wild then tapped his right hand onto his Slate, hooked onto his belt when in a flash of blue light, he summoned another Knight's Broadsword into his hand.

Once Wild readied himself, he raised his Broadsword up once more. With a smile, Time raised his own. The two blades crossed each other to resume their practice session. This time, Time put himself into the offensive stance. Wild read his cue and quickly went into defence. 

The older Hero could see that his student was more comfortable in this position. Time then lunged forward with his blade. Wild immediately dodges the blade as he bends his upper body away before countering back and deflecting Time’s blade away from him. Wild stepping back away from Time. His blade was still up in his hands. Time raised an eyebrow before returning back to his battle stance. He made a mental note that Wild was more than comfortable when dealing with attacks up close and personal. No wonder Twilight often got stressed over Wild whenever they fought against enemies .

Time went for another mock strike towards his student. Wild immediately raised his blade in time to block his attack. The sounds of metal clashing against one another. The older Hero noted that Wild was struggling a bit in defending himself with only a sword in his hand. Especially when blocking Time’s heavy hits. The younger one preferred to either dodge or deflect Time’s attacks. As if he was looking for an opening to counter back. 

.

From the sidelines, Four, Legend and Hyrule watched their de-facto leader and newest member’s spar with anticipation while Warriors studied Wild’s movements. 

“Hey Champion!” Warriors called out to the younger Hero. 

Wild briefly glanced over to the knightly Hero after stepping away from Time’s swing.

“Raise your elbows up but keep them a bit loose when you’re blocking the old man’s strikes!” 

"I thought Time’s the one who was teaching him.” Legend nudged at the proud Hero.

Warrior pouted, “The kid’s a knight like me. Besides, the old man’s just getting a feel of Wild’s sword fighting abilities.”

Wild seemed to have taken Warrior’s advice instantly and refocused back to Time who paused when he saw that his student was distracted for a moment. When the older Hero went in for another strike, Wild raised his blade to block with perfect timing before forcing his teacher back. It did not break Time’s stance though. The older Hero looked back to see that his student was beginning to concentrate his mind and fighting spirit. His bright blue eyes sharpened a little. Like his blade.

By then, Twilight had wandered over and joined the rest of the spectating Heroes on the sideline after he returned Epona back to the grazing fields in front of Wild’s home.

“Glad to see that you finally join us,” Four acknowledged the wolf Hero’s presence.

Twilight simply nodded with his arms crossed. 

Warrior glanced up towards him, “...Hey Twi’, you’ve sparred with the kid before. What can you tell about him?”

There was a smirk that looked very knowing from Twilight. “...Wild? He’s a strong fighter. Quick on his feet...and fighting spirit.”

“What do you mean?” Wind asked.

“You’ll see,” Twilight nodded back to the sparring practice. “... Watch.”

.

Time continued to send his swings and strikes towards Wild who was getting better in defending himself with his sword. There was a firmer grip in the way he held up his weapon and his arms were just as quick to change positions. The older Hero decided to put a bit more power in his blade than he normally used during sparring practice. One hard swing that caused Wild to be pushed back across the grassy field by a few inches when he attempted to block his attack. 

It did not break Wild’s form. Though when he looked up, the two Links made eye contact. Communicating in silence.

Ready?

Wild looked back to Time's gaze. His eyebrows narrowed as his focus sharpened more.

Ready. 

With a nod and smirk, Time threw himself forward and swung his sword downwards. Wild immediately had to move his whole body away and went for an attempted strike which Time dodged. The older Hero then swung his sword upwards towards his student. Wild bent his upper body away to dodge his teacher’s attack before hopping away. 

Everyone on the sideline were now on the edge of their seats, now that Time and Wild’s sparring practice had turned into a mock sword duel. With Twilight the only one smirking.

Wild was definitely the faster swordsman out of the two. Responding more quickly with his deflects and dodges. And always moving, looking for any openings for him to strike back. Time however put up a stronger defence and produced more powerful attacks with the swing of his Broadsword. Enough force to knock his opponent down if he wanted to. 

His student however was able to dodge them quickly. Even by inches from cutting off strains of his long blonde hair. The teacher gave his student no opportunities to strike back, even as his sword was deflected away. Time quickly found a way to guide his blade back towards Wild. Causing the younger one to be pushed back. 

And then it happened.

When Time made one final swing across — right-to-left — Wild jumped back into a backflip dodge.

Something triggered within the younger Hero when he backflipped into the air.

The next few seconds became a blur.

In one blink of an eye, Wild landed on his feet on the tall grass. The next blink, Wild suddenly appeared in front of Time.

Pierced blue eyes.

His blade pointed at his throat.

And Wild grabbing hold of Time’s sword arm before his mind could react. 

Time was visibly very startled. Everyone else was just as startled by what they had just witnessed. That happened far too quickly. Only Twilight smirked, rather proudly. 

.

“Did...did anyone else see that?!” Hyrule suddenly said out loud, breaking their silent moment of confusion as they tried to comprehend what they just saw.

For the teacher and student, there was a tense pause between them. Wild broke away from his hyper-focus and let go of Time’s sword arm as he stepped away. Removing his blade away from Time’s throat. The deathly look that Wild briefly had, just moments away from making a final bow, was replaced with a more awkward smile.

“I didn’t surprise you too much, right?” Wild asked with a soft laugh. 

Time blinked before relaxing with a smile once he saw Wild’s friendly face. 

"Where did you learn to do that?" He then asked his student.

"Oh! Um..." Wild thought for a moment and was about to explain when Wind suddenly grabbed him by the arm. 

"WILD! I didn't know that you could do that!!" Wind shouted out loud with a big grin.

Wild winced a little, his body wanting to instinctively cringe in reaction to the sudden loudness. 

"Um- Sailor, you're holding my arm too tightly."

"Oh sorry!"  

Legend then spoke up with a shrug, "...Okay, I'll be the first to admit, you surprised us."

Four smirked with an 'I told you so' whisper as he nudged the deadpanning Hero.

"Ah, for a second there. I thought you just teleported to surprise the Old Man!" Warrior laughed as he patted Wild's shoulders with a grin. Though the wild Hero flinched.

Hyrule grinned with a nod, "...Yeah! You moved faster than Sky for a moment then!" 

Wind then let out a very loud and sharp gasp. "WE GOT TO WAKE UP SKY! HE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!" The youngest Hero declared before grabbing Hyrule's arm to rush him along with him back to Wild's home to wake up and drag Sky back here.

Time chuckled softly before he looked over to Twilight who still had that knowing smirk. It was starting to look a bit too smug though. 

Twilight simply looked back to his mentor. Eyebrows raised. Though his eyes were also smiling, "...I told you that the kid's quick~"

"Well, you didn't exactly say how quick."

"I would have. But I didn't want to ruin the surprise for you, old man."

"Oh, I'm definitely going to give you one the next time we spar!"

Twilight laughed wholeheartedly.

.

After a few moments, Sky was still yawning when Wind and Hyrule dragged his sleepy self out to the backyard where everyone else was. After a brief explanation to the drowsy Hero about what happened during Time's time sparring with Wild, Sky immediately took interest in Wild's 'hidden ability' and wanted to see it for himself. Time leaned over his borrowed broadsword for the Skyward Hero to spar with. Wild had also wanted to do some practice with Sky for some time after seeing his style of swordsmanship. 

After a few warm ups to fully awaken himself, both Sky and Wild took their positions for a practice sword duel. Sky took the offensive role while Wild stayed comfortably in defence.

If Time was about power. Sky was about swiftness. Wild heard from the others about how quick and smooth Sky was with a sword. And he had caught glimpses of Sky's capabilities from the past few fights they had together as a group. Wild had to rely more on his own quick reflexes to deflect or dodge Sky's swings. 

It did not take too long for the Hero of the Wild to trigger his 'special hidden ability'. 

In a snap, he side-hopped when he saw Sky thrusting the broadsword front towards him. 

Everything around him just slowed down. 

And as soon as his feet touched the grass, Wild moved forward and swung his blade across, just in front of Sky's chest. 

It startled the Skyward Hero that he snapped out of his own focus to stop his body’s forward momentum. He stumbled back and almost lost his balance. 

From Sky's perspective, Wild was standing in front of him. And then in one blink, he was standing to his left with the blade out. 

Had he not reacted in time, he could have gotten himself impaled by the other’s blade.

"Oh Hylia..." Sky just said to Wild with a breathless gasp. His surprise slowly turned into fascination once his mind processed through what Wild just pulled off.

.

Wild was satisfied with himself after that sparring session. After he put away the two broadswords back into his Slate, the eight other Heroes crowded around him. Normally Wild would find himself feeling so closed in, with so many people coming into his personal space and attention staring down at him. But for today, he felt… good! He was proud about himself and what he just demonstrated with his unique ability. And with Twilight standing by him and an encouraging nudge. Wild found the voice to speak up and talk about this special aspect of himself.

"It's my own personal Champion Ability. Impa back in Kakariko Village named it as my ‘Hero’s Chronos' ability. It's when my perception of time around me just slows down." The Hero of the Wild continued to explain how he uses his slowdown time ability and how it was triggered by instinct whenever he jumped up into the air for an archery shot or after he made a last minute dodge like what he pulled off against Time and Sky. 

"Who taught you how to do that?" Hyrule then asked. 

"Well... No one really. I think I was born with it," Wild shrugged. "...And from what I've been told, my Champion ability is more aligned with Sheikah warriors but it takes them years to perfect what I can do."

Time nodded with intrigue. From his own personal journeys, the Sheikah were best known for their legendary swiftness that it was almost like teleportation. Though he will admit, it seemed that Wild was giving them a run of their own money with his natural-born ability.

"So... You're part Sheikah?" Warrior then asked him with a raised eyebrow. 

"No. Or...at least... I don't think...so?" Wild then let out a sigh as he rubbed his neck, "...I still don't know...remember much about my own family history. Memory loss and all. But it is possible. It's not uncommon for Hyruleans to have some Sheikah ancestry in their bloodlines. At least here in my Hyrule. So who knows, I guess."

 Everyone nodded, satisfied by Wild's answer. But overall, they were all very impressed. 

"I think that it's a really awesome ability, Wild! You could easily be a ninja!" Wind grinned towards the wild Hero. 

"Oh yeah, I actually learnt a few things from the Sheikah. I even got my own set of Sheikah stealth armour!" 

"Huh, that will definitely make some of our stealth missions much easier in the future." Four pointed out with a lighthearted chuckle. 

Wild laughed a bit. Just as Twilight wrapped his arm over Wild's shoulders. "...Well, stealth or not. I just wish you use your Chronos ability more wisely when you're dealing with close calls, you reckless lil' cub!" He added with a grin and ruffled Wild's long blonde hair. 

"Hey! I did not give you my permission to call me that, Twi!"

"I don't need to. You earned it, cub!"

Twilight then grabbed Wild and pulled him into a headlock to ruffle up his protégé’s hair. Like an older brother to his younger sibling. Wild laughing out loud. Louder than he normally was. Much to the joy and amusement of everyone else in the field. 

.

By then, the sun was beginning to set over the mountains of the East Necluda valley. Everyone slowly made their way back around into the Champion’s home. It was already decided that they will be spending the night here in Hateno Village. They just needed to move some of the furniture inside the house to make enough space for eight guests. 

As they walked back, Wild felt a hand on his back. He did not flinch this time when he looked over his shoulder to see Time. 

"You did well today," The older Hero told him with a warm tone. "So be proud..."

Be proud of what you have accomplished today, son.

Wild blanked out for a moment as Time passed by him, not realising that Wild had suddenly stopped in his tracks. The Champion thought for a moment that he heard someone else through Time's voice.  A forgotten memory flashed by his eyes but it was too blurry to identify who it was. 

"Hey Wild?" 

Wild snapped out of his trance to see Twilight looking back to him when he noticed that he was lagging behind. 

"Huh? Oh nothing!" The wild Hero shook his head before smiling. He did not want to ruin today's mood as he caught up with his fellow Heroes.

"So what will we be having for dinner tonight?"

"Well... I was thinking about trying out this seafood paella recipe that I got from Lurelin Village."

"OH! I heard ‘seafood’!"

"Ha ha, yes Sailor. My treat! Though I'll have to quickly stop by the general store to grab a few more errands for tonight."

"Hey Champion, do you want me to help you out with the cooking?"

"No Traveller... After that last disaster you and the others almost did to my pot, you are permanently banned from my kitchen."

"Aww..."

"He he."

[breannasfluff]

I swear, Legend has the most awkward spot in the Chain. He's barely older than Wild (if that), too old to be a kid, too young to be taken seriously by older adults, but he also somehow has the most adventuring experience under his belt out of all the Links. Imagine being seen as a hardened veteran and reliable/experienced enough to lead a squad before you hit 20 by men well into their 20s and 30s. No wonder he doesn't take the role of leader. He doesn't need that pressure at his age, he needs to go home and get some R&R with his —tax benefits— merchant boyfriend.

I would not be surprised if he hangs up his sword, maybe not forever, but a good long while after his 7th adventure. He's a Link, he helps folks in need, but maybe something less intense than, say traveling through Hell and killing the latest incarnation of Satan.

Look, I think outside the LU adventure Legend was very happy to take a break and stop adventuring. A lot of it was training and sort of, hmm, maybe searching for something? A purpose? Someone?

I like to think that he found that with Ravio, whether romantic or platonic. Someone else to be there every day and help keep him grounded. Someone to hold him accountable.

He needs a reason to stay.

He is young and he's done so much. I think at one level he's worn out and grouchy, and on the other that hero's spirit shines through and pushes him to keep helping.

It's why I like giving him friends in Hyrule and Wild! He needs some buddies to support and, in turn, take care of. And he needs an excuse to loosen up and relax from time to time.

#GiveLegendABreak

Anyway, it's not a mystery that I love the triple threat trio. I just think it's really interesting to see how Wild differs interacting with Legend vs Hyrule, and how it changes with the two of them together.

[a-manicured-lawn]

So I know you like Spirit…what do you think his role would be if he is added to Jojo’s Lay boys? Any headcanons for his personality?

I DO LOVE SPIRIT HOWD YOU KNOW is it cause I won’t shut up about him?

Well! If he was added to Jojo’s cast, I’m honestly not sure. There was an old post mentioning a link with rivets in his tunic in the profile banner back when she was answering asks on tumblr, but she refused to say who exactly it was. There’s been a few suspicions that this rivet hero is in fact the riveting Hero of Spirits himself!

Much as I hate to say it, if spirit were to officially find himself on the LU roster, that is probably what he’d look like. An aged-up version of himself, probably with a few more years of service under his belt, although as a knight or as an engineer is the real question.

Ingame, there’s a dialogue option with Spirit’s Zelda (Phantom? Spooky?) where she’ll ask you what you want to do after the adventure. You’re given three options: be a knight, an engineer, or undecided. If you choose a knight you’ll get an endgame cutscene of Spirit fighting in the courtyard as a knight trainee, and if you choose an engineer you’ll get a cutscene of him driving past the castle and I don’t know what happens if you pick undecided someone please let me know I always pick engineer.

If Jojo goes the knight route I worry he may become a carbon copy of the other knights and knight adjacents in the Chain as a rough blend of Wars, Sky, pre-Calamity Wild and Legend.

Should he be an engineer, however, I believe he may find his place alongside Four servicing more magical items as Four handles swords and shields. He may also serve as an inventor, finding novel and more modern solutions to issues the Chain faces.

However, this speaks mostly to his physical place in the chain, rather than his personality. Unfortunately, with no manga and just his ingame personality, a glass of water has more life than him. The only time he shows any kind of interest outside the player is in response to his Zelda, and that’s to blush when he first sees her and to be delighted when she threatens violence. Thus, any personality has to be built ground up.

Now, I’m not Jojo (obviously), but with such a blank slate I can’t help but add my own ideas and model for an LU spirit (which has a WIP! It’s HUGE!) to add onto the Chain.

Ingame, Spirit and Wind actually have the exact same character models, only changing Wind’s clothes into engineer duds. Thus, I’d headcanon them as identical twins. Slightly different, just because they are still separate heroes, such as giving one or the other freckles or paler skin or different eye colors (blue vs green vs black?) to help tell them apart, but otherwise basing it off of clothes.

For personality, I’d honestly make a foil to Wind. He’s a bright, exuberant young kid, which would be paired beautifully to a shyer, more reserved twin. I’ve noticed that in canon all of the Links tend to have forceful personalities (yes, even Hyrule, shy Hyrule is fanon but if I’m wrong PLEASE tell me I love shy hyrule) which can lead to personality clashes. However, with a quieter personality in the mix, it can lead to Wind “stepping up”, so to speak. Making sure Spirit is heard over all the hubbub, sharing stories to keep Spirit out of the spotlight, etc etc.

However, if spirit were to become canon I doubt that’s how it would go. It’s a bit out there, especially considering the other Links’ personalities like I mentioned before. The fandom represents, though! There’s SO many Spirits out there by now and I am DELIGHTED each time I come across a new one!

[ereighna]

Legend cosplay 2.0 coming along. Not sure why but that belt doesn't look right. I think I need to make sit a bit lower. (Note: it WILL be black, that's just the mock up).

It's a whole new over tunic, I am seriously still disappointed in the other one. Just need to do some more fitting on the under tunic, embroidery, and some bits and bobs. Still have until March 1st to finish so I have time lol.

[birdmomblogs]

so like,,, i’ve been doing a lot of digging because i’ve been wondering who the two mystery “links” are in the banner of the Linked Universe blog,,,

with 100% confidence i want to say the one of the right (the second mystery link) is the first hero.

the most unique similarities include: the scarf,,, the very fancy pauldrons,,, the thigh slit in the tunic,,, the buckles around the wrist guards,,, the belt design looks similar,,,

other less unique similarities are: left handed sword holster,,, short hair,,,

the chain is also in a time where NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET!

i seriously doubt that anyone in hyrule would forget a demon king, an evil sorcerer, a calamity, etc, etc unless dink brought them SO far into the future that they actually were mere legends at this point. buuuuuuuutttt i don’t buy that for one second. the second mystery link looks too much like first for this to not be the era of the goddess hylia.

and i think it’s very likely that jojo can draw inspiration from the skyward sword manga since there is inspiration drawn from the four swords manga, no matter how little it may be!

as for the other link,,, this one is hard,,, i’m not as confident but i think it may be dink’s humanoid form. there’s several iterations of a shadow link or a dark link. but to me, whoever this link is seems to draw upon warriors’ dark link and twilight’s dark link from the games and jojo’s old sketches of warriors and twilight, when this banner would have been made.

there’s the left-handed shoulder holster, the thing on the front of the holster that looks like twilight’s shadow crystal, the grommets on warriors’ old tunic style and the mystery link’s, bandage-like wrist guards on twilight and mystery link, the high neck under shirt and top of the tunic cut on mystery link looks just like twilight princess dark link, regular length tunic sleeves,,,

the only thing stumping me about the mystery link character design is the belt. the only reference i can think of is the fancy buckle being a way to emulate warriors’ pauldron and the thing hanging from the belt is emulating the fabric twilight wraps around his waist???

so anyways, i think it’s a pretty solid theory at this point considering we know dink is here and has the ability to take multiple forms,,, also this,,,

looks a little humanoid :) doesn’t it :)

those are probably my most supported theories at this point! i’m pretty knew to interacting with the lu fandom on tumblr so i don’t know it anyone has written this all out before or not but i have seen people throw headcanons around that the mystery links may be dink and first.

but maybe we are all wrong,,, maybe one of the mystery links is actually our beloved hero of koridai /j

[isasan347]

🤔❤️

Thank you :)

Oh. My. God. SO MANY

but probably the fic idea I had when me and @geminiskulleta were talking about lu legend in a dress

(If you want to read through those posts I’ll see if I can tag you)

Also I’ll hide it under the cut because it’s a teeny tiny bit long

In summary: the chain (including the Zelda’s) for some reason, has to go to a rich people party to beat some mafia boss’ ass. But first they have to get close to him and get some information which means someone has to seduce talk very normally with him and simply try to get some stuff out of him. And since most of the Zelda’s don’t want to cuz they’re too uncomfortable doing so or they have to distract the guests, one of the more feminine/androgynous links (which are wild, legend, sky, four and wind) four and wind are in the “androgynous” group because they’re still young and could be mistaken for girls, and sky and wild and legend are simply. Eh.

But

Four and wind are too young to do that and they need older links. But sky refuses to do that because he wants to stay loyal to his Zelda and Wild is simply shitty at conversation.

Now we get to the juicy part. Legend 👏 in 👏 a 👏 dress 👏. So legend puts on some make up and a dress and voila . He’s ready to go belt out WHY DONT YOU DO RIGHT~🎶

In the end lullaby and wild manage to blow up the villa where the mafia boss guy lives and everyone makes it out mostly unharmed.

Except for legend because I like to hurt him. But hey, twisting his ankle, almost getting his arm cut off and being stabbed isn’t THAT bad.

Uh yea that’s “basically” it

Honorable mentions: Coffee shop au fics, triforce heroes fics and fable/legend fics.

[smilesrobotlover]

what inspired your Link’s outfits? I love them!

Thank you! I’m not sure what inspired them but I’ll just talk about them (without pictures cuz I can’t 😔)

Sky: I really loved the green color he had from LU, how everyone had a deeper green shade while he had a lighter, more minty green shade (maybe not minty green but sh), so I went with that color cuz it suited him so well! I also like him having his sash so I keep them. His design sorta changed, I originally had him wearing more baggy clothes, but I added bracers and tightened up his clothes a tad. I also kept his green pants from the beginning of the game cuz I thought that’d look quirky. The biggest things were the sailcloth and loftwing feather. I always vibed with feather earrings, and I wanted the feather to be king, but when I actually drew it, it was a HUGE pain. So I removed it and just put it on his belt. And I put the sailcloth on his belt as well cuz I HATE drawing capes lol. Luckily drawing Sky for a bit made me realize what I liked and disliked about his design so I was able to change some things. I do love the diamond thing on his chest. Admittedly LU inspired the design a lot lol, but in the end I kept some stuff for myself :)

Minish: the Minish clothes inspired his shirt! I found his og shirt very bland so I spiced things up with a leafy shirt and called it a day UwU. I also liked him having a headband with an Ezlo pendant at the end, thought it looked cute! And I think I added some metal toes cuz what if you dropped a hammer on your feet? Anyways, it’s safe to say LU inspired a lot of these designs and I’m not ashamed to admit that (LU did NOT inspire this au tho)

Time: I was actually inspired by bonus Links with their oot Link having a vest. I thought it was a cute and gave my Time a more farm outfit. I made his shirt a more forest green and gave him a weird eyepatch to cover half his face, and then gave him cowboy boots cuz I thought they looked cool. I lvoe his pants cuz he looks like a sexy mom so there’s that lol. Also, about his hair, this is an unpopular opinion but I prefer his short and spiky hair 😔 I’m sorry to the folks who loved the long ponytail. I also added some gloves that I think are strength gloves that aren’t ungraded? Made his outfit more battle ready (in the beginning the Links were in more comfy clothes but I didn’t like that)

Legend: oh boy, he probably has my fav design lol. I sorta added this red sash thing to go against his green shirt and I think it turned out cool! And the red accents look dope as well! I’m particularly proud of his boots, which sorta resemble the Pegasus boots (I think that’s what they’re called 😭). Also I love the idea of legend link hating pants so he wears shorts. He hates pants. He’s just like me fr

Hyrule: I’m not sure how much of Lu inspired my Hyrule, but I always ADORED Lu Hyrule’s floofy hair so I kept that. I kinda like his clothes being baggy and casual, and I made his boots a little scuffed since he travels a lot. Idk what is going on with his design tho. I cant think of anything specific that I did with his design minus the boots and turtle neck (I noticed one of the designs for Zelda 2 had link in a turtle neck and I thought that was perfect for Hyrule). Yeah not many thoughts. Just like the amount of thoughts going through his head

Twi: oh boy, I just gave him a shirt that matched Rusl’s cuz it has a boob window, gave him that dumb arm thing, his ordon sash and obi, and just sorta lightly tweaked his farmer’s outfit. His boots are meant to have goat fur popping out cuz I thought that’d be cool. Plus an ordon goat on his design cuz he likes goats. Not much to say

Four: I looked at all the knights from the FS manga and tried to make him look like that. I always thought his braid and color thing was unique and showed the four colors well. I also made his clothes more white and cream colored cuz I’ve seen four Links as white and then go colorful when they split and I LOVED that. He also gets a cool cape. He sued to have more Arno but I removed it cuz he’s still a kid and I hate drawing Armor.

Windy: oh boy, I had to change his design since I aged him down, but I gave him a sleeveless overcoat since there are a lot of overcoats with pirates. I also gave him a pirate-esque shirt and made his colors more deadpan green which I ADORE. I always liked his gray pants and simple shoes so I kept those!

Spirit: it’s just his engineer outfit, nothing special lol. A boy…

Age: idk how I feel about his design, but I mixed the knight’s outfit with the champion’s tunic with a hint of the zora armor and Mipha’s scale!

Wild: I sorta mixed the Hylian tunic with the champion’s tunic. Again, idk how I feel about it but Wild has his entire wardrobe on him so I can just change his design whenever I want UwU

Warriors: made his scarf look more triangle and covering his neck, and added some pizzaz to it, idk.

transcript ↓

Ash: You guys hear about the Grim Reaper? Sy: Like... the dude with the skull face and the robe?

Janice: Or the story parents are telling their kids to keep them off the street? Ash: Oh, come on. At this point you still believe it's just a story? Sy: Not sure I know this one, sorry.

Lars: Stop trying to scare them, Ash. If it was a serial killer, it would be all over the news. Ash: Doesn't explain all the people who've gone missing lately, but whatever helps you sleep at night. Janice: All the people who're missing are like, way beyond our tax bracket anyway, so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Sy: Ohh, wait. I think I heard some people talking about this in my Art History. The group of people who fuck up corrupt cops and stuff, right? Ash: Huh? Group? Sy: You can’t honestly believe this is just one guy. They’d never sleep. Ash: Either way, dude’s gotta have more than just bad guys under his belt with that body count. Totally has to be more to it than people think.

Sy: Ah, she returns from her bathroom quest. Ash: Everyone scatter!

Lucy: My bad. What I miss?

Lars: Ash is becoming a conspiracy theorist on that 'Grim Reaper' thing. Lucy: Oh, lovely. Ash: Y'all just don't want to admit that I'm on to something. Shit is shady. Janice: What do you think, Lu?

Lucy: C'mon. People can't actually believe in all that urban legend stuff.
