text posting from an ipad waow. here’s a queen zelda (aurora) hyrule for your needs

[perereiii]

they angy

this is NOT Linked Universe please do not tag as such!

[perereiii]

[perereiii]

Abt your Merged Links AU,,, are the Zeldas merged too or just the Links?

yep! they're practically two sides of the same coin, after all.

(sm rambles and ref under cut)

So! This is Princess Zelda-Theia Minerva Hyrule.

(note; Theia is a second name for Zelda,, things get messy when you've got more than one Zelda floating around so the royal family just. started giving their daughters two names)

Her physical look pulls mainly from ALBW, ALTTP, HW, TP, and BotW. Her hair is ripped straight from @ thefreckledzelda on instagram/tiktok, just made a little longer and darker.

She's transfemme and uses she/her pronouns, and she's somewhere on the aroace spectrum.

Personality wise, I'd place her as an INFJ. She'll goof off from time to time, but is more than capable of leading a country. She's also leaning extroverted (on a scale where 1 is completely I and 10 is completely E, she's at a 4) and leaning thinking (1=F, 10=T; she's at 3.5). I'm sure there's a proper term for this but I don't know enough about MBTI to use them.

Lastly, while it may seem that shes yet another damsel in distress, she's actually done a lot to help Link yanno. Not die :]

This will take you to Link's adventures

This will take you to the ML tag (currently called MLU, subject to change soon)

[perereiii]

so incredibly sexy of me to serenade myself to sleep

[perereiii]

Who's the villain(s) in your Merged Links au? Are they combined as well? Also! If you have anything abt that au you wanna share I'm

y. your who

(aware that it probs cut off before you could finish btw lmao)

ehneewayy,

The villains vaguely consist of Ganon/Ganondorf (haven't decided yet tbh), Vaati, Shadow (but like . only for a bit), LA nightmares, and whatever else we add,

there was in fact the og plot but it had holes and it wasn't very consistent,, to me it's the same feel as like . a n64 game. sweet, but outdated

Combined villains is actually a really sick idea, we'll have to consider that /gen

[perereiii]

Thinking thinking thinking thinking

"it's all a dream."

Link chokes up at those words.

It's all a dream.

"We always sensed that this place was different."

"But like this?"

"...Things could have gone better."

"No shit, Sherlock."

"Who would want to trap us here anyway? And why?"

"Maybe... Maybe it's that windfish guy, the one Marin's always talking about."

"Well, if it is him, he's got something coming! Trapping us in his own nightmare? I say we return the favour."

"Not so fast. We don't even know where he is."

"And? If we pester that owl the way it pesters us, I'm sure we'll find out."

"Um... Guys? We still have this whole adventure-to-wake-the-windfish thing going on. Why not follow that?"

Will maybe cont (w better flow n everything) not sure yet

more! creativity! about my boy! basically just the adventures leading up to lu

adventure 1

ganondorf curses the land into darkness with the Triforce after the 7 wise men try to seal him, basically turning the world into a dark world x twilight realm

link travels to the sacred realm using the master sword after being informed by the sheikah elder Impa of his namesake and what a vision from the princess with the blood of the goddess depicted

dungeon dungeon dungeon in the sacred realm to update+ the master sword so she isn't breaking every 19 min now he can access the sky! His loftwing has been waiting a hot minute

another 7 dungeons to free the sages yay

there's a fuck ton of enemies bc of the darkness too so he gets rid of that by clearing the dungeon which house a fraction of ganondorfs evil (that's how he trapped the sages)

Ganonpork gets sealed partly in the master sword and partly in the sacred realm to stop him from every regained his true power bc that will surely work

master sword gets laid to rest for the time being but link misses his funky little sword so he gets one made by the gorons that's similar to a great sword used by an old hero but also looks kinda like is old friend

also: he starts in hateno! my boy is hateno born and has gone to kakariko a lot :]

no guardian field btw we don't need trauma

adventure 2

shad man and vaati guy are working together

twink man follows a shadow that looks suspiciously like him into a hole and his balance is terrible so he slips and falls

linkus ends up in a parallel world that seems too kind and pretty. turns out there's some disney tower thingy that after 3 chimes of a corrupted magic bell the world will fall into a never ending darkness. It chimes once every morning at 6 am

linky meets the minish! he also finds a funky sword that makes 3 translucent copies of himself all in different colours (red blue vio)

The minish direct him to a shrine with a cool looking not suspicious ocarina that happens to be coloured dark blue and is once again haphazardly shoved in the direction of the great faeiry of time who teaches him a weird song that really messed up time a bit. also does some mask collecting but only for the kids back at hateno he swears

4 dungeons +1 where shad pulls a ghirahim and does a little dance and a little murder against link but no one dies so it's good

vaati is a backstabbing bastard and uses shad. very rude imo

vaati is defeated again and sealed in the four sword again and the world is saved again

link finds his way out somehow and desperately tries to avoid adventure <3 good luck buddy

adventure 3

heros spirit longs for adventure ig

he goes sailing :) surely nothing wrong will happen :)

something wrong happened

he doesn't realize it but he kinda went sleep mode

meets a redhead pirate not malon not zelda but somewhere in between and she's turns into a rock bc of a dark blob of evil that calls itself a nightmare

adventure time 8 dungeons plus a hunt for a shiny triangle that's not at all the triforce

Third plot point: finds an island

beats the nightmare and everything disappears. It's not his fault n they aren't dead but they DEFINITELY aren't where he is. he's currently stranded so.. good luck

he finds his way back to Hyrule! no more adventures surely...

hopefully?

adventure 4 (it's starting to get excessive..)

the one time he's gone Ganon is resurrected????

ganon got tired of being imprisoned and used a cool alterego to escape the sacred realm

hey!! Link is busy w oos and ooa (no ganon tho. only twinrova) so ganon said lmao what a time to be alive and released HIMSELF from the sacred realm using this weirdo names aghanim who totally isn't ganon in a trenchcoat

Zelda is about to be sacrificed! for magic reasons! idk think skyward sword or minish cap ganon just isn't happy with the ENTIRE TRIFORCE so he went for zelda (hylia's) power too

link comes in guns blazing and fails miserably. he has to go get a weird triangle now bc zelda attempted and succeeded at splitting every piece of the triforce into 8 individual pieces (24 total)

gets the funky triangle back whoops ganons back n he seals him away again and hopefully he'll stay away? please?

link makes friends with literally. every single fairy out there plus one so now they all love him.

fair enough I mean

adventure 5. last one I swear

hyrule warriors! he meets so many people and then they all leave :( but now he's somewhere between mature-bubbly-suspicious of every single damn thing especially if it has an eye associated with it

Inciting incident: "oh, what's that gate looking thing?"

it's just Hyrule warriors

It's just Hyrule warriors.

Ganon gets his cheeks clapped. you know the drill

world is saved! let's hope he doesn't have to chase a shadow through time in his next adventure *hint. nudge nudge

[perereiii]

[perereiii]

honestly just need to infodump about merged lu link to make more creativity room in my brain so

ok. so. outfit time

boy's got parts from each link, some more than others

Sky: cape and diamond

Four: headband, kinstones

Time: dark grey undershirt

Legend: rings, belt, pegasus boots

Hyrule: previously mentioned undershirt has the like. ring hand things that loop around his middle finger, dark hair

Twilight: the sewn on darker coloured sleeve and hairstyle

Wind: Joy pendant

Captain: Shoulder guard and deep V tunic style

Wild: grey hood

his outfit pulls pretty evenly but it was admittedly difficult to get say, stuff from Wind's outfit to fit seamlessly so that's where I introduce items

Link's got the standard arsenal of bombs, bow, clawshot, bottles, y'know the whole shebang

he also has special items that pull directly from the games and a couple concept items from the zelda books or just. my own concepts

The list I have currently (which will be expanded upon as I figure out plot things) has:

oracle and seasons red ring, green ring, and snowshoe ring

cane of pacci and pegasus boots from minish cap (though the pb look like legends)

Roc's feather and flippers from links awakening

Telescope and grappling hook from wind waker

Goddess harp and beetle from skyward sword

Dominion rod and hawkeye from twilight princess

All medallions and fire rod from a link to the past and hyrule warriors respectively

and finally, my concept, the mask of personality that would come from majoras mask

+some more later on bc this guy is doing what 9! people! should be doing! he needs some things

gotta say for personality I'm not sure yet,, I'll do some quizzes or something but right now I'm sure he's part Dumbass™ and that's about it

[perereiii]

they, your honor,, them.,

[perereiii]

Oh?

I've been basically thrown into the deep end with this as I barely know anything tbh, but I'm ok with you babbling about it!

-🔨

You have given us too much power /hj

oooh ok so if you want the basic stuff for the main link and his general adventures; you've got this

there's also this, which is more or less a fact sheet of the colours

and blue! for specifics!

this super-duper zoomed in drawing is the very first of him. personality wise, he's a mashup of warriors, four, and legend—generally speaking, of course. during the time of his 2nd adventure, he's effectively wearing not lu hero of legend clothes but in blue

from now on I'm referencing the 2nd adventure

so... they split. maybe not the worst thing that's happened in their lives but damn if it isn't up there. Blue is the first to react to the situation and runs off before the others can say anything—for all he knows, he's the original link and the others are illusions. He thought he was the one to run off with the ocarina but that was not the case and eventually he had to return to the others, through time travel or simply finding them (it ended up being the former, since the other 3 had traveled to the swamp by this point). There's a huge argument, involving Blue running off for the second time—which lead him to a ranch—red shutting herself down and being generally emotionless for a good while, green questioning their abilities as a leader, and vio haphazardly taking the position as co-leader because they're still on a time limit and they don't exactly have time to argue.

Amends are made after they've been separated for around a day and a half and the quintet travel a similar path as you'd take in MM. Red and green find themselves happier in town and help the citizens there, and the cooler tones dungeon crawl up until the end of Snowhead. They try totem time to pass the great bay fence, but theyr just. So short. Blue comments that there's a ranch nearby and maybe they could find a horse, so they're off once more.

yada yada horse great bay (vio loved it, blue despised it)

all four of them travel to the land of the dead, ikana. this is where they get three moon pearls—the moon gates are found where the fountain is at the bottom of the well and at the base and peak of the tower in town.

dw!ikana is a healthy, thriving nation with many people. The citizens are friendly and it's basically Hyrule outside of Hyrule, with a slightly more... ecstatic population. They have to travel back and forth to get two songs—The elegy of emptiness and the rhapsody of life. The elegy does as MMs does, and the rhapsody brings hope and peace to sorrowed souls, not in the same way as the song of healing works, but close.

They open the moon gate at the base of the tower, and something similar to this comes in:

accounting for.. basically knowing the lore better; the moon gates are activated, not the moon pearls used to change worlds alone, and vaatis "sending them away" is basically him snatching and throwing all of them into the gate, then sealing the front enough that they can't reenter from the top.

Puzzles vs enemy's is another dw parallel thing :]

and that's about it for Blues whole story! Vaati isn't actually sealed in the fs (trying to find an excuse to bring the colours back whenever we want? nooooo shhhh/j) so the colours can come back anytime. whew

[perereiii]

Besties Beloveds Puzzle (the Link™ designed a few months back) has some facts he'd like to share;

Link

OSDD system

favorite snack is; toast+peanut butter+nuts+berries (berries n nuts depend on how they're feeling. Really depends on who is fronting+their mood)

Collector.horder. Zelda is trembling in fear

Red

Sun kissed skin, crooked smile, curly hair, button nose, you'd think she would be innocent. hohoho

do Not anger her she will commit atrocities (blue has witnessed them and is slightly scared of her)

Hoarder of animal related trinkets. She's got a pile of stuff devoted to little feathers, wooden carvings, a surprising amount of bird related stuff

Green

Olivey skin tone

Stims stims stims (many twiddle thumb and stomp/tap stims); collector of stims

Minish make tiny little braids and put tiny flowers in their hair

Blue

Yes he was anger incarnate for a while but he's also soft and traumatized give him a minute

The most piratey of the ⁴; collects shiny things

2nd palest (that honor goes to Vivi)

Vio

collector of pronouns (currently at fae/they/he, who knows what they'll steal next)

The pretty blond hair™ is actually dyed. Faer natural hair colour is brown

...he's got contacts.

[perereiii]

What are some of the signs that "you need to back tf off or you're getting your ass messed up" for the Color Wheel?

-🔨

hmm,,

red; when she starts acting like fanon blue. she bottles a lot up so it goes from her normal personality › generally irritated › blowing up. this only* happens with enemies (especially if another colour is in danger)

*remember the argument from the prev post? yeah, she blew up there. any other time would be at another person (not any other colours. she's vowed never to do that again) though that's pretty rare

green; going silent. they're contemplating the legalities of murder /hj... kinda

blue; yanno the death glare? double that and that's when you know you've fucked up bad

vio; can't decide between just straight up fucking. attacking with no warning or the slight warning of extremely smartass-y comments (more brutal than fae usually go for)

[perereiii]

Blue creating carnage if he's pissed but only has a soft pool noodle as a weapon-

Now that would be a sight tbh-

-🔨

you'll be surprised as to how dangerous pool noodles can be- truly the blade of evils bane in a watery world /hj
