Play With Me

A little something for the spookiest month of the year. Warning that this does contain some light gore and blood. This is a Legend of Zelda based fic but I'll put a Linked Universe tag so it's easier for others to find it.

'It should've been an easy job! Just raid Lon Lon Ranch and take every bit of Lon Lon Milk. The only person there at the moment is the ranch's little redhead daughter. She would've made a good extra coin on the black market but…' A shared thought amongst a medium sized group of bandits.

They were an infamous group who has been terrorizing Hyrule as late. Offering their services to the highest bidder no matter how despicable the job in question was. Every single one had always gone off without a hitch as the Dark Moblins weren't just any common criminals.

They made a plan for each job, checking the acquired info about every place, the people who live nearby and how long it would take for unwanted help to arrive. A very wealthy noble had asked the Dark Moblins to steal all of Lon Lon Ranch's famous milk. Night would be the time they struck as the ranch owner had left for some important business which in reality had been a setup.

The girl put up a fight so it was only fair that the bitch deserved a blade to the arm. And everything went to hell afterwards. Some monster came out of nowhere, one unlike anything seen before. It rushed at them like a Keese from hell.

The now alone bandit, Gary, remembered the vivid scene that led to his group fleeing. Razor sharp claws plunging through Ridrick's stomach like paper, large spines turn Eddy into a pincushion, and giant fangs crushing Dustan's head as if it was a grape. How their blades broke against its tough hide whilst metal axes were snapped like twigs.

Gary barely made it into the small woods in Hyrule Fields alongside at least six of his comrades. He didn't know what happened to everyone else but the bandit could tell the hell that came. An omen brought in the form of a SONG by a distorted, deep, growlish almost childlike male voice.

A simple game of hide and seek

Close your eyes, and count to three

Keep this interesting for me

Everyone had picked up their speed when slitted crimson eyes pierce within the darkness of the trees. Gary's stomach curdled from the pure madness within those bloody lights. A glare promising nothing but agonizing death.

The skies are darkening, the world you know, the hills no longer green

Like the animals your blood will flow

Dreaming of this cursed machine

A blackened blur darting from tree to tree faster than an arrow. The moonlight provides small peeks of large stick sized spines. How the crimson painting those large clawed hands. Caleb was the first to go.

Smiling wide with empty eyes I'll find you, you're a lot of fun just like your friend you're

Hiding but I'm deep inside your mind, you'll

Die a thousand times

Do you want to try again?

You're tired of running, nowhere to hide and

I'm getting closer every second

Behind you

Gary barely got a glance when he saw the massive paw grab the poor man from behind. His comrade had enough time to scream before he was dragged into the bushes. The man saw Caleb's dismembered lower torso crash into a tree as if it was a mere ball.

There's so many souls to play with

So little time, not long till I find you, run for your life

You're in my world now, you're joining your friend

I'm coming to take your soul in the end, you can't run

Marie quickly followed next. Gary made out the horrible whistling that came when the beast flung its quills. How the young lady let out a short scream before it became a gargled whine and went dead silent. It must have hit her lungs or windpipe.

There's a silence in the air you know you're facing your demise

Try to counteract but you're too slow, disappeared before your eyes

Try to run, try to fight, try to keep the end in sight

I'm always just beyond your reach

Count from three down to one, find out how far you can run

Found you, game over and over again

Matthew tried to fight back with his trusty bow. No doubt to buy everyone some time to escape from this monstrosity. Gary remembered the flames that temporarily lit up the woods from the man's Fire Arrows.

You're tired of running, nowhere to hide and

I'm getting closer every second going supersonic

I'm in the corner of your eye I'm in your deep subconscious

I'm getting closer every second

Behind you

A swift powerful gale instantly blew out the fire as if it were mere candlelight. Gary had turn his hand back for a second just to catch Matthew's blood curdling scream before his bow was shoved through the throat. Furious blood red eyes stare back alongside a malicious smile of crimson coated fangs.

There's so many souls to play with

So little time, not long till I find you, run for your life

You're in my world now, you're joining your friend

I'm coming to take your soul in the end, you can't run

Fang immediately followed as the bandit heard the telltale sound of a curse. Poor fool must have tripped cause he had enough to plead for help. Shouts of 'I don't want to die' fell silent with a harsh wet sound similar to a pumpkin getting smashed.

I'll be your nightmare tonight

The torture is fun and the fun will be endless

So just try to put up a fight

I'll be counting the seconds, you're drowning, you're bound to go down in this fight

My arms and mouth are open wide, reveal the emptiness inside

No more hiding, drop the façade, you know the truth, I aM yOuR GOD!

Charlie was the last one to fall as both of them decided to split off. Between them, the surviving bandit had more stamina despite being slower. His cold blooded shriek became overshadowed by the powerful earthshaking roar of that thing.

A simple game of hide and seek

Keep this interesting for me.

Gary had managed to take shelter behind one of the larger trees. Trying to calm his heart and breathing before he would search for better cover. If he got out of this insanity, a price would be put on that beast's head. No way that damn monster finds peace as every hunter, warrior and knight hunts it down.

You're tired of running, nowhere to hide and

I'm getting closer every second going supersonic

I'm in the corner of your eye I'm in your deep subconscious

I'm getting closer every second

Behind you

The bandit barely had any time to sprint much less dodge as a large clawed hand went for his head from behind. He didn't get much farther when a mustard yellow spine dug itself deep into his right heel. Gary couldn't hold back the scream from his ragged worn throat as two more found themselves in his right arm and left thigh.

There's so many souls to play with

So little time, not long till I find you, run for your life

You're in my world now, you're joining your friend

I'm coming to take your soul in the end

The wounded bandit felt his heart sink as the beast lumber out of the foliage. Every bit of the moonlight shone down to reveal its hideous visage in full much to Gary's growing horror. A giant hulkish beast crossed between man and porcupine that dwarfs even the biggest horse.

Dark golden fur stained with so much blood that it was now blood orange, long gold mane that lead down a back covered in hundreds of sharp mustard yellow spine bigger than a grand oak sapling, long tail engulfed by those large deadly needles trail behind, large paw like hands that can encompass a man's skull and claws the size of knives.

Its eerily wolf-like muzzle smiled maliciously back with razor sharp bloodstained fangs, long ears narrow in fury as blue slitted humanlike eyes turn blood red at the sight of the bandit. Slightly thick fur outlining the powerful muscles that would put even the burliest of giants to shame. Gary let out another scream as the beast grabbed his bleeding ankle and ruthlessly pulled the spine out.

There's so many souls to play with

So little time, not long till I find you, run for your life

You're in my world now, you're joining your friend

I'm coming to take your soul in the end, you can't run

The bandit let out one final scream as he was pulled into the forest brush by his foot. His nails dug into the dirt leaning a trail of blood from how hard he held on. Last evidence that Gary even existed was the crimson that wouldn't be found once nature began to feed.

Later that night, a certain prickly beast would be washed clean of his deeds by a certain red haired girl. Both held in each other's loving embrace until morning where the beast would become a normal Hylian boy. And none shall ever learn the truth behind the Dark Moblins' gruesome demise.

And that's it. This is my WerePorcupine!Link specifically the OoT/MM iteration. Story takes place post Majora's Mask where he's living with Malon and Talon on Lon Lon Ranch. Ingo doesn't start working until a bit later than in canon.

In the Linked Universe, this Link is called Mask while the older iteration has the name of Time. These names make it easier to separate the Links especially if you have write the different iterations together.

That's all I have for now. Until next time folks, I'll see you back at Hyrule. Here's the song that not only Link was singing but also the fic's title, Play With Me by Longestsoloever.

Caught

One particular Link gets too curious about the oldest. First drabble written: Play With Me

Ever since Wild had joined the group, jokingly called the Chain, Time had been an enigma to him. Every Link had their own little quirks to each other, even himself. Four would often talk to himself, Wind occasionally chats at something invisible and Twilight is never there when Wolfie shows up being a few examples. Yet Time was…different.

The man constantly makes these strange noises eerily close to an animal, a porcupine as Wars identified. Squeaks, grumbles, and even whining depending on his mood or current situation. His sense of smell being insane as he could sniff out someone's location to even poisons.

What was really strange is he tended to disappear at night specifically like a secret schedule. It happens once per week, on rare occasions being twice. Wild's experience living in the wilderness gave him the skill to locate odd quirks or actions. Something that helped when hunting more flighty game or dangerous monsters like Lynels.

Time would often 'spaz' out on these specific days. Sporadic twitching, constant itching, eating his food voraciously, and his attacks becoming more like an animal whenever they had to fight monsters. He once tore a fucking Lizalfos' throat out with his bare teeth which looked too much like fangs to Wild.

His final suspicion didn't come from Time but by Wind and Wars. Whenever the older man had to go on his midnight walks or acted weird, the two alway got a response ready. Like the two knew the truth behind their leader's strange behavior. Wild had been patient about it but the increase of black blooded monsters wore that away. Tonight he was going to find the truth.

Wild already had a plan to do just that. He woke up very early to put a very special jelly at the bottom of Time's shoes. It was invisible to everything but the Sheikah Slate so tracking the man would be easier. Coming up with an excuse after Time left to avoid any suspicion from Wars and Wind had been difficult. Luckily Wild managed to be convincing enough with the patrol excuse.

At the moment they were in his Hyrule, specifically the woods on the Great Plateau so tracking Time would be ever easier. Wild knew this place like the back of his hand which made his excuse even more plausible. Now he just needed to keep up.

Okay, the old man is much faster than Wild thought. The moment he was out of view from camp, Time had fucking BOLTED. Not as fast as Thunderblight Ganon but nothing to sneeze at either. If it wasn't for the invisible ink, Wild wouldn't have found the scarred man.

Although he secretly wishes he hadn't. The champion had found the older Link hunched over and shivering…? Was Time having a panic attack??? Wild couldn't help but feel bad. No one really knew the full story of the Hero of Time as the man kept it very underwraps.

Maybe it had turned out very bad like how the Champion himself (although Time didn't fail his Hyrule). Wild was about to approach the older Link until the man began growling. He slowly turned around to look at the newest member and what he saw made Wild's heart drop.

Time's eyes were pure red whilst his teeth were monstrous fangs. He gave the Champion a look of fear before everything went to hell. Wild watched as his leader began to grow. His hair becoming longer, fur sprouting on bare skin whilst terrifying large quills pierced forth. Time howled when a long spiky tail suddenly burst from his lower tailbone as Wild caught the man's face stretching out into some kind of muzzle.

Constant bone cracking sounds made it so much worse when the Hero of Time's body bended and stretched into new animalistic shapes. His armor peeled back until it only covered the front to his entire lower torso. No doubt to avoid obstructing the giant quills on the back and arms.

Wild didn't know he had backed up until his back met the surface of a tree. The old man had finally stopped growing once he was at least three heads taller than the Fierce Deity. What now stood in his place was a giant hulking humanoid porcupine.

His head now resembled a porcupine with wolf-like characteristics from skull structure to longer ears as Time's hair became a thick wild sun gold mane. Soft yellow fur covered his muscular body with it becoming a darker shade on the back whilst large mustard colored quills poke through in droves. A long tail tread behind him that was more quills than fur.

Tattoos covered more of Time's visible body, green fiery patterns spiraling up his arms, thick blue stripes across every quill and the marks on his face were thicker and wilder. Wild nearly choked at the blue almost human eyes that now looked back at him. He watched carefully as the giant beast…held his head down in shame.

"Y…you weren't…supposed to…see me like this." Time's voice was so deep, growlish, rugged and exhausted now that Wild almost couldn't understand him. If the Champion hadn't regretted following the hero before, the soft anxious whining did him in.

"Are you some kind of werebeast?" Wild's voice was softer than he thought he could achieve. Time nodded his large head uttering 'WerePorcupine' under his breath. Well, that explains his abnormal love for fruits and veggies. "You seem to have very good control of yourself. I thought Werebeasts tend to be more…wild."

Wild nearly jumped upon the sharp yet reasonable growl from the large porcupine. He could've worded that better but Werebeasts wasn't a very light topic especially since there's a real one before him. They are usually portrayed being much closer to their primal instincts. Something that makes it very hard to keep control of any rational thought much less focus.

This did make sense when Wild looked back at Time's peculiar behavior. Mandatory transformations are part of Werebeast lore after all. "I've been one ever since I was a child. If I didn't have any control of myself then I wouldn't even dare join the group. Sadly my true nature needs to come out at least once a week. Otherwise…it gets very painful." He didn't need to tell Wild twice.

Just watching the change alone made the hundred year old man cringe. "Were you ever going to tell anyone? I already have a suspicion that Wind and Wars know about this." Time nodded his head, slowly trotting over to the now smaller Wild. Being a giant porcupine beast made the Hero of Time even more intimidating but the Champion has seen worse.

"Ever since the War of Eras. I did plan on telling everyone but the rise in black blooded monsters made things a bit harder. Tension leads to unwise actions." Okay, Wild did deserve that subtle call out. It wasn't a really good decision nor his best one.

The Champion was ready to go back to camp and keep this entire interaction private. It is Time's choice in the end on whether he'll tell or not. Wild just didn't expect to be grabbed by the scruff of his tunic with careful yet sharp fangs. "Hey! What the hell old man?!"

The WerePorcupine ignored the smaller Hylian's inquiry as he adjusted himself to all fours. Despite his large mass, Time was fully capable of being completely silent in Wereform. A skill which served him very well.

"We're going to see the others. It was about time they learned one of my secrets. Just know that I'm not mad at you, Wild." Shock filled eyes look towards the giant beast's slitted ones. "You were concerned for the safety of everyone. I would've done the same thing honestly if I was in your shoes. Although you can make it up to me with some pumpkin stew."

A hearty chuckle wringed itself out of Wild's throat. He could feel the fangs holding him shift upwards into a small grin. "Sure thing."

Another drabble with WerePorcupine!Time. I thought of writing an interaction using Wild first than Wars or Wind. Out of the LoZ games, I played Majora's Mask, Breath of the Wild, Spirit Tracks, Twilight Princess, Four Swords Adventure and Phantom Hourglass. Mostly Majora's Mask and Breath of the Wild. So why not have those two Links interact first?

I have watched a playthrough of Wind Waker but also currently watching a playthrough for Spirit Tracks and Hyrule Warriors. Want to get a good grasp of their games before writing them.

Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Hyrule.

SonicAsura's Doodles #63

Curses weren't uncommon in the kingdom of Hyrule although the one thrusted on a certain blonde hero was something else. A beast idol curse had been imbued into Link forcing him to take a distorted beastlike form. One that represents the idol itself, this being a porcupine.

Link's strong mind thankfully kept his feral animalistic instincts under wrap but mastering it was a quest in itself. And he got off lucky with his clothes magically repair themselves once the boy took on Hylian form again.

Being a Wereporcupine had it's advantages alongside its own dangers. At least Link was able to find people more accepting of his monstrous side. It's better to have help than shoulder a burden such as this alone.

Hopefully the Great Fairies can help with the clothing situation though...

It took me days to get this done. Really didn't want to contaminate my sketchbook by coughing all over it so I waited until my cold at least died down.

This is the Mask iteration of our WerePorcupine Link! Time version is coming soon but I wanted to start more simple. You'll be seeing my other monstrous Links get their art done soon.

That's all I have for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Hyrule! For now, enjoy this metal version of the Song of Storms by Falkkone. The headcanons for WerePorcupine!Mask|Time are here.

ChildOfTheHero!Romani is definitely the same kind of feral as her father was (with little personality quirks depending on which Link her dad is). And in the supernatural creature AUs you cooked up, she’s the most adorable little wereporcupine (getting the ability from distant grandpa Time)/hanyo (yes I’m using the term from Inuyasha)/dhampir/half-fairy/hydraling gremlin *and yes I added a few other Links to the potential dad roster*.

She sounds adorable and utterly chaotic. Any child of Link will be a gremlin especially if they have supernatural blood.
