"Would you like something to drink?" Ravio casually offered, standing in the kitchen doorway.

Legend glared at him "I would like you to *leave my house. *"

The rest of the chain "what?"

oh my goodness XD

Did I ghost write this? It's right up my alley of humor!

I feel like humans and Hylians would both treat music differently. For Hylians, it's like "My mother taught me this song", "this is the song of our people", "this is a magical song", 'll songs are special, magical, traditional. Meanwhile, humans are like: "🎶🎵🎸🎻🎺I fell down the StAaiIIrRssS 🎹🎶🎻 and it HuuuUUuuRrRtTTtT 🎸🎷🎵🎻".

Human songs also tend to be more expressive and violent, whom Hylians are more about classics and conforming to the norm. Music is special, and it's also used as propaganda for the royal family, so they can't allow rebellious people to come in and start making songs to deny that, so music is more controlled.

Not just propaganda, but music for Hylians also correlates to literal magic and spells that they use for secret passageways and passwords.

Hylians would likely hold music more sacred due to the way it works in their society. Propaganda aside, I think that you're right. Hylians would probably only have very specific people be allowed to play music, since they would (probably) be trained to keep away from the inherent magic of their people. ...And the inherent magic of their instruments. (Looks at all the Link's and their gear)

Like how old timey bards couldn't legally have children because their ability to gain public appeal made them a threat to the state.

Humans wouldn't be affected by magic at all so "dododododo~~ GOING OFF THE RAILS ON A CRAZY TRAIN!"

The Chain (those more on the traditional side anyway) would probably be horrified, covering their heads in case lightning strike of something.

Only for nothing to happen and then they have to deal with even more confusion.

[luimagines]

Playing on isekai’d human reader, and the stark differences between human and hylian that the chain would notice, I think it’d be funny if reader was so confused by the chain’s admiration because they’re not even athletic by their standards. Like reader isn’t even a bodybuilder and someone just comments on how large their arms are or how buff they look and reader is just like “???” If reader can pick up an injured Sky that has chainmail under his clothes, then how easy would it be for reader to lift someone without heavy duty armor that like three of them carry?

The jarring confusion the chain has when they find out reader isn’t even all that tall or strong by their own standards, there are people much taller and stronger than reader that could probably lift a bridge Hercules style if humans are that different from hylians. If athletically challenged reader can pick up a grown man in armor with ease, what can a bodybuilder do? A pro wrestler?

Twilight wants to wrestle them.

He says that it's to see and compare how strong they are... and he's not lying, but deep down he's a competitive miscreant and he wants to win.

Bonus points if Reader has no clue what to do and is like... "....no?"

The chain would naturally be very intrigued and low key horrified to find that Reader is like "I can't even do a push up. How are you people weaker than me?"

Reader also getting a bit of their own high horse because the chain needs to keep stopping for breaks but they can easily keep going and they're not even hungry yet and come on, they're supposed to be heroes!! Didn't they save the world like a thousand times?! Why do they need another break???

[luimagines]

Continuing with Human!reader. I think they'd be more susceptible to illnesses than any of the hylians. A common cold for us is a simple sniffle for a hylian, so I could only imagine their cold be like our pneumonia. Their immune system is horrible against all the viruses in Hyrule since they probably don't exist where they are from, and that's not including if they have any other medical issues that further compromise their immune system. I can't imagine the boys seeing a nearly half dead reader because they tried to hide their illness since it's not a big deal for the boys whenever they catch it, and they don't want to be a burden :<

Ooooohhhhh- that makes a lot of sense. I just didn't consider that angle yet.

Which would also explain why humans would have had to have a higher level of medical advances as well.

It could also level the hylians need for constant breaks to keep up their stamina, verses Reader inability to travel much in the rain or during the night because they don't want to get sick in the middle of nowhere.

Which was something Link would have never had to have taken into consideration before if he wouldn't have gotten sick at all either.

And then when Reader does eventually get sick, everybody wants to write them off at first. (If Reader doesn't try to hide it... or maybe they do and they react this way anyway). "You can't be that sick. The weather hasn't been that bad. You don't need to complain so much, you know."

Cue to Reader eventually developing a fever- starting to lag behind the group when they would have been able to keep their pace and then some.

No one seems to think much of it until Reader gets dizzy and nearly falls flat on their face.

They finally get a hold of them and feel that their completely burning up and can't answer basic question because they've gone loopy.

Suddenly they're all hit with whiplash and dowsed with cold water.

It's far more serious than they could have imagined.

[luimagines]

You know how the Links aren't good at swimming without magic? What if that's a Hylian thing, and they just evolved like that? Reader would laugh at them because swimming is easy once you have a few lessons for most people, until she realizes that they actually just can't do it

OOHHHHH Good point!!!

This also ties in with my headcanons already, you know. XD

You know how monkeys, chimps and apes can't swim? It's like that!

Hylians would (probably) have more muscle mass, making them denser by comparison. So they don't swim. They don't even float. They'd just straight up sink.

Reader jumping into random lakes and rivers would scare the bejeebers out of the chain. Only to pop their head back over the surface and wave enthusiastically. "Come on in! The water's fine!"

All the boys: ....no thanks.

Well, maybe Wild would join Reader in that case, but we've all kinda established that Wild is a special case anyway. XD

[luimagines]

Ohh, you think Warrior, Four, and Legend would have a dislike for humans? Can you expand more on that? Like the specific attitudes they grew up around that made them feel that way?

(If you want to and aren't too busy, ofc!)

I actually would have thought that Hyrule would like/distrust them the most. He would already come from a turbulent home situation as it is where you're not sure who you can trust and if Hylians are predisposed at this point to not trust/like humans, then he would have the distaste squared.

For Four and Legend, it would just be a product of the society they grew up in, I'd imagine. They don't intend to be malicious but they're warry about letting Reader get close. Between the two, I think that Legend would have it a bit worse than Four purely because of the amount of times he's been bitten by people in general.

Four might be calmer. I remember I wrote once where his Zelda was actually one of the worse one and he was horrified to see it in person. But I don't remember if that before or after his character development in this regard.

Warrior, I think, would be distrustful of people in general. Sure, he can charming and peaceable on the surface, but there's a reason I headcanon him as the best liar of the group. Not only is he also a product of the society he would grow up where Hylians would look down on humans, but he's been stabbed in the back from his own people on the war. And if his people, who are supposed to "better", can do that- what is a lower human capable of?

He'll be real subtle with it though.

It's all in the name of survival and making sure Reader doesn't hurt any of the other boys either.

Time and Wind are more of the middle ground. Time's bias would have to be learned by the time he's spent on the Ranch or while on the War of Eras. He's not fully convinced but he also doesn't really have the foundation to care.

Wind is similar. Like Sky, his world doesn't really have many people to point out the differences. Granted, he would know what a human is and what makes them different beyond their ears but there's just not enough history and prejudice that survived the floor that made the Great Sea.

[luimagines]

ooo what other scenarios(w the rest of the chain) do you think would make them be like "oh yeah (human) reader can handle themself"?? also what little things do you think human!reader would do that would make the rest of the chain go "what the fuck you can do that??"

I always think the biggest one is when there's clearly a magic infested cavern or cliff face that everyone is afraid to deal with or travel through, and Reader just jumps in without another thought because they know they won't be affected it whatsoever.

I also think that Hylians would have softer hair, again because magic. Cheaters. So I bet that Reader would probably have a more extensive hair care program to get their hair to be just as soft as theirs.

Which of course confuses the chain because I don't think any of them (outside of Warrior) would actually care that much.

I want to think that humans have softer skin though, which adds to the idea that they're weaker. So all the boys are fascinated by Reader's hands.

Not only on the chance that they're way softer than any of them thought imaginable, but also if they have scars and calluses because of their training and battles. Their scars would would different from the chain's because they would have had to take a much longer time to heal without the use of a fairy or a potions or a healer- not to mention that the manner of receiving the scar would have been different as well because humans have to fight with more brute force and sharper weapons just to make their hits count.

I have no idea if this actually answered your question. ^.^*

But this is what I came up with.

[luimagines]

In your opinion who do you think that’s the worst spice tolerance and who likes spicy food?

I'm throwing this as a lightning round of list with not much rhyme or reason but because I just think so. :D

From least tolerance to bird tongue. :D

Sky

Warrior

Legend

Time

Twilight

Wind

Four

Hyrule

Wild

ok- I have little thought behind this list but this is naturally open for discussion. :D

[luimagines]

IM CRYING ITS ORCS???? IM SO EMBARRASSED. but no the amount you put was exactly what i wanted!!! i would love to hear more thoughts you have on it if youre willing to share/if you have anymore!! i like hearing other lu tumblrs thoughts on this

-the og person who asked about the space orcs/guide reader thing

I just remembered one other thing that we talked about!

Humans would also have more stamina than Hylians. I don't remember the reasoning why.

But if Hylians would technically move faster and be physically stronger, humans just... wouldn't stop. XD

You know- like pursuit predators.

So Reader wouldn't really understand the constant need for breaks and would get a little annoyed by the little progress they're making because they don't feel tired. Whereas the group is confused annoyed that Reader wants to keep going when they're tired.

There one snippet I thought of where Sky wasn't sure what to think about Reader being a humans because he literally has no history with them. They both get separated from the group and Sky gets injured.

Undeterred, Reader picks up Sky, holds him to their back and carries him all the way back until they could reunite with the group. Naturally, Sky, the canonically stamina challenged individual, is impressed beyond measure. He scolds the others in the group who don't think Reader is capable of handling themselves and his opinion is changed for the better for the rest of the journey.

I feel like there was more there but I don't remember it. XD

[luimagines]

I've been thinking about writing some sort of player/guide!reader fic. The ones I've read so far have had the reader meet the chain almost immediately. I've been thinking about other ways of having them meet. I kinda like the idea of the player/reader/guide having vague memories of playing the Zelda games, but the heroes remember them as some sort of guardian angel. Some of them think they imagined them and some of the heroes think they were a blessed companion. Idk, I'd love to hear thoughts and opinions.

Thanks!

-opinion seeking anon

Hmmmmm.... There's certainly a lot of ways you could take this idea.

Having Reader remember some of the Link's while forgetting the others, verses the Chain not believing Reader to be a real person and other thinking they're "bigger" than they are would be a largely unexplored avenue, I think.

Like....

Link: I thought you were a god sent to be my guardian angle. Reader: I have no idea who you are. Are the one that appears in the middle of a field or the one that lives in a forest?

Verses-

Reader: OH MY GOD IT'S YOU!!! I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER SEE YOU IN PERSON. Link: I didn't think you were real.

This of course is open to discussion. I just think it would be funny. ^.^*

[luimagines]

IT IS I! THE WIZARD!

I wanna write a story, but it would be weird to write so here it is:

(Warning: swearing)

A reader who can speak to the dead, can see spirits. They chat often with the villains because they hang around them often, and often ask the reader to tell the Links messages.

The reader collects cursed items, having the strange ability to quell the corrupting powers (for example, they can use Majora's Mask with no negative effect). So they have like cursed knives, Majora, a few shards of the mirror of twilight glued together (I know it's impossible but let me dreeeeaaam-), that kind of stuff.

So like, something like this would happen:

»»————-　★　————-««

Reader walks up to Four, listening to thr whispers of their spirit friend, Vaati. He had asked to give a message to Link, 'The short one that looks like a f*cked up kinstone', and Reader was too kind to say no. They always knew that spirits that lingered often suffered in pain. Maybe it would help Vaati pass on?

"Hey, Four." Reader said, and Four turned.

"Oh, hello, Reader. Do you need something?"

"I have a message for you." They said, eyes glowing a dim blue, like a luminous stone. "Vaati said 'You're a loser, no maidens?'"

Four passed, a mix of confusion and horror on his face. "I'm sorry, WHO told me WHAT?!"

»»————-　★　————-««

Reader held Majora in their hands, staring into the great yellow eyes, invested in its whispers. A cough pulled them out of their trance, and Time sat next to it, giving a caughtous glance at the mask. "You seem enamored with that thing."

"I do. . . don't i?" Reader said wistfully. They sighed. "Do you know what it's like. . . seeing the dead? Hearing their woes and being able to do. . . anything? It's painful, watching them suffer."

"Why do you keep it, of you know it's story?" Time asked, frowning. Reader sighed, running a hand on their head.

"You probably wouldn't understand." They explained. "Spirits are more complex than a dungeon clever could be. . . this one has taken a liking to me. . . or. . at least is trying to control me."

Time stiffened. "I've worn it, Majora. He always throws a fit when I do because he cannot invade my mind." Reader explained, turning back to Time and pointing at the marks under their eyes. "These marks are like the ones you have. Proof of my power over it."

Time huffed and Reader suddenly snapped their head back to the mask, eyes glowing blue. Time watched them nod to it, and slowly turn back to Time, eyes still glowing creepily as they slowly asked "He wants to know if you've become a mask salesman too. . ."

»»————-　★　————-««

"You've lost someone important to you. . . haven't you?" Reader asked Legend on night. He was on watch duty, and the others were asleep. He glared at Reader.

"What?" Legend asked, sounding offended.

"I don't mean to insult!" Reader said quickly. "It's just. . ." Their eyes turned blue, as they looked next to him. The familiar humming of a tune oh so forgien yet familiar to their ears clwas heard only by them, sung by the spirit next to Legend in the pretty blue dress and red hair. "I can see her. . . Was she close to you?"

Legend froze. "What the hell are you talking about? Is this some kind of sick joke?!"

Sensing and watching him grow angry, Reader gave a sympathetic smile. "She likes to hum a pretty tune, you know. as if she is trying tell you it's okay. She can't speak, sadly."

He continued to glare, about combust until they began to him the tune. That tune which he missed of so dearly. The tune he'd trade EVERYTHING he own To be around again.

Reader continued to hum the tune, closing their eyes and doing their best to match the woman's tune when she felt Legend shaking next to them. They stopped and opened their eyes to see him shaking, head in his hands.

"D-dont stop" He said, his voice breaking and shaking. Reader nodded and continued, and his shaking voice started to sing the lyrics softly, leaning into Reader. They wrapped their arms around them, providing some warmth, to comfort the tired, broken, hero, that the lady in blue could not anymore. . .

»»————-　★　————-««

Either blunt as a dull butter knife or extremely creepy, or comforting. No inbetween. They've got three looks. And That's IT.

Thats all. Thanks for comeing to my Ted talk

I mean.... this could be a pretty decent story if you chose to write it out.

Thank you for sending this in.

This would be like... every Link's worst nightmare. The idea that the people who taunted them and nearly destroyed everything they held dear is still dissing them from the beyond? Horrendous.

They will never be free.

[luimagines]

I have a headcanon for ya! While Warriors is someone who flirts and loves to flirt, he gets very flustered when people flirt back since he isn’t used to it. Like—

Warriors approaches the reader with a smirk: So, when are you going to go out with me?

Reader letting out a giggle as they blush, they cross their arms: I don’t know~ When are you going to ask me out~?

Later…

Sky sitting beside a very flustered Warriors as he hides in his scarf: So…let me get this straight, you just ran away?

Warriors hiding his red face in his scarf: I DIDN’T THINK THEY’D FLIRT BACK!!!

Elsewhere…

Reader pacing around the room in a panic as Legend watches them: Then he just ran off!! Does this mean he doesn’t like me?!

Legend knowing full well they both had feelings for each other: I told ya you shouldn’t have flirted back…

Legend: No, it's means he's just an idiot.

XD

Poor Warrior. As a member of the Bully Warrior club, I swear it 's because we love him. <3

[luimagines]

(Please read dramatically. Thank you.)

I feel like we have been tormented by yearn for to long!

PINKY! THIS IS AN OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF WAR!

YOU WILL KNOW NO REST UNTIL YOU ARE A PUDDLE OF YEARN! I WILL ATTACK WITH SHENANIGANS AND THE YEEHAW MEN TO ENSURE YOU WILL KNOW NO MERCY!

(Please read dramatically. Thank you.)

ME?! You dare doubt my power!?!?

I shall be unvanquished!!! I am an unmovable fortress!!!

You declare war. But where is your army?

[luimagines]

*SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!!!*

Kitsune Reader!!!!!

That’s it, that’s the post. I REALLY wanna be a fly on the wall whenever the chain see their reader just transform into a fox… BUT NOT ANY FOX!!!!! A fox with NINE tails and is just the cutest little shit EVER!!!!!

Can you imagine the look on Twi’s face? PRICELESS!!!!!

(And then I wake in then morning and I step outside- and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I- scream at the top of my lungs- what's going on?!)

All the boys would be wiling to just jump at the chance to pet Reader and see if they're really as soft as they look.

Twilight, the official distributor of pets amongst the chain would be the first to just lose his mind. Wolfie would come along and probably try to get Reader to play with him, much to the potential confusion of the rest of the chain (if they didn't know it was Twilight at the time.)

Wild would probably be taking pictures like a those eccentric super model photographers.

I'm willing to bet that Sky just stares at them with his jaw on the floor while Warrior and Legend are both trying to make do with not wanting to dissolve into baby voices and incoherent babbles.

[luimagines]

What about modern clothing headcanons for the boys, I think wild would wear one of those shirts with the wolves looking at the moon and a pair of khaki shorts

I need to see Time in his black turtle neck, tucked into some black slacks with a brown belt. Don't ask questions.

Twilight had a read flannel somewhere and blue jeans paired with with either beaten down sneakers that have seen better days, or cowboy boots.

Warrior is likely to wear brand clothes. He probably has Gucci or Prada- dresses like a real life Ken Doll.

Legend probably wears things like basketball shorts and Nike t-shirts. Wears Jordans

Hyrule would wear torn demin jeans that have seen better days, beat up converse and a simple black t-shirt.

Sky is the King of Comfy. Cable knit sweaters and simple brown slacks. Likes sweatpants.

Four probably wears more athletic wear. (Yes, I'm stealing this headcanon). He could pass for a 80's jazzerise host. Just trade the leotard for the classic grey sweat pants and you're good to go!

Wind wears FnaF Walmart t-shirts with a mafia head Freddy on the front with demin shorts and light up shoes because they're awesome.

Wild dresses like you said. It's perfect. No updates, changes or alterations' please and thank you.
