Happy pride. Reminder there is still a big echo chamber underbelly of conservative bigots within the LU / greater Zelda fandom here on Tumblr. This includes many who claim to "love everyone" under their religion, but happily interact with open bigots (such as those on That Conservative Server who think the queer "movement" is inherently predatory in nature. Such rhetoric is incredibly harmful and dangerous toward the queers you supposedly "love").

Reblog this post if you would like to fire some shots in the backyard and remind your followers you are 100% queer (or an ally) and do not tolerate intolerance!

Wild Card: Ask me something else!

[toomuchcourage]

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

So basically (if I read that right) it's like in Brave where everyone else had Scottish accents and then Wild was that one suitor boy nobody can understand?

I’ve seen a lot of headcanons and dubs where Wild has an American accent (which is totally fine, btw!)

but consider

all the Hylians we’ve heard in his era via BotW and TotK have British accents

sure, we’ve only heard the royal characters speak, but Wild spent a ton of time around them in his pre-calamity life, not to mention the fact his dad was a knight and likely lived in similar circles

and even if Wild’s language reset in the Shrine, the very first 2 beings to speak to him were Zelda and Rhoam

but it’s also implied in the games that Wild might have been from Hateno originally, which is a farming community

and he’s been living in the, well, wild

In conclusion, it’s entirely possible/probable Wild has an unhinged rural British accent, and may in fact speak Cockney (which is not rural, but Cockney Wild is hilarious to me)

Oough, so a couple of months ago, I said Chain's birthday was my birthday cause I was too lazy to think of a date lmao

So now I gotta draw him a birthday drawing cause my birthday is next Monday lol

I've been super busy lately but I gotta make some time to draw for my boy

[toomuchcourage]

Cute: Sky and Sun name their daughter Zelda Tetra, so Wind's "Zelda" doesn't feel left out

Broke: Sky and Sun don’t name their daughter Zelda, and the tradition starts later.

Woke: Sky and Sun name their daughter Zelda, after Sun, starting the tradition.

Bespoke: Sky and Sun name their daughter Zelda after one of the other Link’s Zeldas.

They refuse to say which one.
