Wild: Yeah, I'm good with what I have -about to run off and find more stuff-

[tentimesthecourage]

Warriors: Why don't humans have a specific noise that means "there are bees here, let's leave immediately."? Why are elephants more advanced than us? Legend: We do have a specific noise for it. It sounds like this: Legend: "There are bees here, let's leave immediately."

Vio: I would like to obtain a sample of your DNA. Rinku: Weird. Uncomfortable. Consider it done.

Wild: -raises eyebrows- Rinku: Put those down!!!

Well here I am, rambling about one of my Links.

I'll start with the biologically youngest; Phantom

I shared this on Discord years ago so () are questions I got and answered or comments someone in the server made // are my own notes/comments

A Link that died before he could defeat the evil conquering his land

He wasn't killed by that evil, he was a sickly teen and it just took him at the wrong moment

Now he roams his Hyrule, determined to find a way to beat the evil before he passes on

It's hard to be the hero of hyrule when seemingly no one else can see or hear you though

He can interact with inanimate objects, animals seem to be able to sense him if they can outright see him, /animals always seem to have the ability to see things we humans can't so why not transfer that to Zelda-/

Weapons are… strange, he can only use magical ones, normal non magical ones just can't cut it and he doesn't know why

Sometimes he's a little reckless because 'I'm already dead, what can they do? Make me double dead?'

But more often than not he's pretty cautious, if only because he doesn't know how to fight whatever or whoever he's facing

(Is he tangible at all?)

To an extent

Monsters can and have hurt him, which really caught him off guard, but they can't kill him since, obvious-

If he's careful, he can lean against things, sit down on things, but if he loses focus, he falls through /learned that the hard way after he crashed onto the ground after falling through a bench because he got distracted by something/

I imagine if he found someone who could actually see him, they might be able to touch him? Might, not a guarantee

(Would Zelda be the one to help him save Hyrule?)

No, and I'll tell you why

Because Zelda is not on this hero's side

It's not a Triforce Swap or role swap before anyone asks

She's merely on the opponent's side because she chooses to be, no blackmail, no magic, nothing

Because we've have damsel in distress Zelda, helpful Zelda, roleswap Zelda

Let's have a villian Zelda

Link is aware she's an enemy

She's a tyrant, Hyrule as a whole knows it

But she's seemingly untouchable because of whatever other villain is her partner

I don't know if it's Ganon/dork /not sorry/ or Dark Link or whatever

Just someone powerful that the two combined are terrifying

And then we get to the companion; Vaati!

Zelda reviving Vaati like Nocturnal said, decides he doesn't fit the bill and as is like "Nope!" And yeets him through a portal, binding him in his Minish form

Vaati runs into Link and he's one of the few creatures/people/whatever who can see him and he's like "You wanna fight that bitch, right? So do I!" And thus starts the most unlikely duo ever

At first Vaati's not really nice to Link, of course he's not, constant flashbacks to Minish Cap/Four Swords/Four Swords Adventure makes him snappy and edgy like the teenager he looks like

But along the way he softens up to him slowly

And early in the adventure they find a semi-fix it thing where Vaati can temporarily be in his Hylian form which helps them with buying things /"No Vaati, we can't steal even if we do need it!" "You're no fun, hero." "My name is Link!" "Yeah yeah…"/ and things that Link can't do because ghost

Vaati ends up calling him Phantom by the end

To differentiate him from the Links he fought against

(Link's Profile)

Name: Link Nickname: Phantom Age: 17 (died at 13) Pronouns: He/Him Hair: Silvery-blonde, loose, reaches mid back, side pieces on both sides that reach a little past his chin and puff slightly near the end, bangs drape slightly over his eyes Eyes: Dark blue, black sclera (obviously white when alive), have a tint of green/gold to the irises due to his piece of the Triforce Clothes: Faded purple tunic, light gray undershirt, dark gray slacks, brown boots, faded purple hat (does not wear after meeting Vaati) Accessories: Silver dangle earrings, the tips hold small pieces of emeralds, rose gold ring (a gift from his mother when he passed) Weapon of choice: Rod of Elements (able to use Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, possible to upgrade and use Dark, Light, Ice and Nature) Extra weapons: Magic Bow (Ice/Fire/Electric Arrows only), Magic Boomerang (can be temporarily infused with elements via the rod), Magic Shield (Reflects attacks back or can store an attack to be shot later) Personality: Sweetheart, can be sassy, childish (he died at 13, what do you want from him), eager to help, lonely

(About Vaati)

Boy needs his eternal rest, but he's not being allowed

At the end of the journey, I have this bittersweet ending

I mean, Link's only staying around to defeat the evil, once the evil's gone, he'll pass on

Vaati's tired and torn, on one hand it's over on the other now what does he do?

If I want to crank up the bittersweetness then I could say that his body gives out in the end because I'm sure all that flip flopping between Minish and Hylian is not good for him or that the item used to let that happen was draining him and it was warned that if he used it too much, he could die

He's tired though, he's gone through the adventure as a villain and now as a hero

And he just wants to rest

Warriors: IS THIS A GAME TO YOU?! Wild: Yeah actually Rinku: It's just Uno???? Warriors: Just Uno? JUST UNO? WE FIGHT AT DAWN

It's nearly two am and I want to ramble about my original Links (aka not game/cartoon based)

It's almost two am, I should go to sleep

I might ramble about them tomorrow before work

[tentimesthecourage]

Rinku: That was so hot, Blue. Blue: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenerate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets. Rinku: I'm so in love with you.

Vio: Good vibes and sunshine? Not in my house Vio: Here we have rainy days and SEVERE PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS Red: Red: okay so--

No, the My Nintendo Store in Japan does not ship products overseas, including to the United States. You can use a third-party shipment forwarding service or a proxy shopping service to get around that problem.

Just so y'all are aware

nintendo just put these up in their japanese online stores im going to scream

[tentimesthecourage]

Vio: Every time you talk, I get this warm and fuzzy feeling inside me. Vio: It's really nice, but it's bothering me so please stop. Rinku: Warm fuzzy feeling? Rinku: Oh my goddesses, Vio do you have feelings for me? Vio: What the fuck is a feeling?

[tentimesthecourage]

Twilight: You're not going to ask why it took me so long to bail you out of jail? Wild: No, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have used my one phone call to prank call the police.

[tentimesthecourage]

Warriors: By the Three! How stupid do you think I am?! Twilight: Do Twilight: Do you want an honest answer to that?

[tentimesthecourage]

Legend: Ugly people are amazing. I love ugly people. Every ugly person deserves 1 million gold and a life of peace and quiet. Warriors: What about pretty people? Legend: Pretty people can go fuck themselves

[tentimesthecourage]

Warriors: Why say "bless you"? If I'm close to you when you sneeze, that's more than blessing enough. Legend: Actually it's more of a curse. Warriors:

[tentimesthecourage]

Wild: Really could've used your help out there. Twilight: How'd it go? Wild: Really bad actually. Really bad.
