Linked Universe Character Guide

I made this LU character guide for my friends and I thought it might be useful for any new LU fans out there! And also for anyone else who wants to info dump to friends about LU. So here you go :D

These characters are of course based on @linkeduniverse by Jojo! But, disclaimer, this does include some non-canon stuff (primarily the fandom nicknames and some War of Ages things) that’s common in fanfiction :). I made this for fun and for my friends so it includes my favorite tropes, canon and fanon.

Edit 4/4/23: Alt text and image descriptions added. Alt text only describes the official character art image (descriptions of all the images were too long for alt text and they were being cut off by my screen). Image text and other image descriptions are at the bottom of the post.

TIME TWILIGHT TEARS: About & FAQ

▶︎ PART  1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / (5.5) / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 / 17 / 18 / 19 / 20 / 21

The context and background info behind my Time Twilight Tears (TTT) series! I also answer specific questions from you (here). I will update this as needed. (Edited 2023 December 20)

About

Time Twilight Tears is a collection of comics featuring Time and Twilight in the world of TOTK! Time and Twilight join Wild/Tears on his adventures, while reminiscing on their own past adventures. There isn't a particular order (each "episode" can be read separately), but I always suggest starting from the first part. Ever since I started playing Tears of the Kingdom, it revived my love for older Zelda games, particularly Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. I began this series initially because of my Wild & Twilight mini series (2017), where Wolf Link becomes human (Twilight Link) and accompanies Wild in BOTW. Time Twilight Tears is the spiritual successor of that (with the addition of Time). In this series, they're in their 20s. Time and Twilight have already defeated Ganon(dorf) from their eras. Because of that, they love to chime in when they think they know how to solve a puzzle. Twilight, however, is more familiar with the world (as Wolf Link in BOTW) and usually ends up reining in Time when he gets too ambitious/reckless/stubborn. Time Twilight Tears is an anthology of their adventures together in TOTK, and it's full of laughter and emotions and definitely a labor of love :) I work on TTT in my free time - I do NOT profit from creating these comics; they are completely free and fan-made by me!

FAQ

▶︎ Why do you call them Time, Twilight, and Wild/Tears instead of "Link"?

These nicknames are from their "Hero" titles ("Hero of Time" and "Hero of Twilight"). Wild/Tears is better known as just Wild, but I call him "Tears" to indicate it's the world of TOTK, rather than BOTW. (Also, so the title would start with all T's lol) *I realize this naming convention is the same/similar to the Linked Universe (see next question), but this is not to be confused with the Linked Universe.

▶︎ Is this part of the Linked Universe? Will other Links show up?

This is NOT Linked Universe. If you're interested in this AU (the Links join forces and go on adventures together in their own storyline), follow the original creator: linkeduniverse I do not plan to include other Links in Time Twilight Tears (as the name suggests?), but feel free to imagine them in the world somewhere. Maybe they just haven't found them yet? Here's how I think Sky would fit in :) And yes, I think Wind would absolutely clown around lol

▶︎ Have you read the Linked Universe? Did it inspire you?

I live under a rock, so I actually only found out about the Linked Universe in the last few months (summer 2023) because so many people have brought it up to me after seeing my comics. No, Linked Universe did not inspire Time Twilight Tears. Time Twilight Tears is the spiritual successor of my Wild & Twilight mini series (2017).

▶︎ Why does Twilight already know things about the world, and about Wild?

In this series, Twilight is the same Wolf Link from BOTW. So Twilight and Wild/Tears already know each other (it takes Tears a second to realize it is him - seeing the wolf fur on the Tunic of Twilight makes him remember!), and Twilight is familiar with the world of BOTW. Everything new in TOTK is new to both Tears and Twilight (e.g. Frox, Gleeoks, etc).

▶︎ Why Time and Twilight? How did they end up in TOTK? What is the story?

Twilight is here because of my Wild & Twilight mini series (2017). TTT is the spiritual successor to that (not necessarily a continuation), but with the addition of Time, because his parallels and connection to Twilight are too important to me. (Can you believe Twilight knows two different Links? amazing incredible) There is no chronological / linear narrative / plot line to TTT. I wanted each part to work as a standalone comic that highlights moments of their adventures together. I like the openended-ness, because it leaves room for interpretation. You are free to imagine what happens between each part! Because of this, I don't have a specific reason on how they ended up in the world of TOTK (lol) ...feel free to use your imagination! For your consideration: With Time! The Hero's Shade goes back in time to meet Twilight as the Hero of Time and they travel around TP Hyrule together, bonding and getting to know each other :')

▶︎ Is this version of Time also from Majora's Mask? Is this the Child Timeline?

Yes! Time is from the Child Timeline (Ocarina of Time + Majora's Mask). He becomes the Hero's Shade, who is Twilight's mentor in Twilight Princess. The Hero's Shade (Time) is also significantly taller than Twilight, which inspired their height difference. In TTT, Time is all grown up (he did not travel through time / he's not a child in his grown body), but hasn't lost his eye yet.

▶︎ How did you decide their dynamic?

Time Twilight Tears is a representation of my own headcanon, and is not official in any shape or form. I drew their character sheets here! Time : (mid/late 20s) childish personality, but hiding a deep sadness and darkness underneath. Will deflect when confronted about things he doesn't want to talk about. He can be serious when the situation calls for it. Tries not to linger on the past. Twilight : (mid 20s) seems distant and unapproachable, but he's just shy (a country bumpkin). Keeps to himself, but will jump into action if necessary. Has a silly and sassy side that comes out once he warms up to you. Humble and honest. (He's a terrible liar.) Tears : (20s) seems feral, but only because he's acting on his own without explaining himself. Actually very smart and talented (cooking, crafting, researching, etc). A silent craftsman type who gets easily distracted and hyper-fixated on things.

▶︎ How did you decide what Time and Twilight are wearing? And their weapons?

Their clothes are my attempt to make them fit into the world of TOTK (like NPCs). I drew their character sheets here! Time's outfit is loosely based on the Champion's Leathers and Hylian Hood, though I included elements from his own tunic set: his boots, gauntlets, and belt over the shoulder. For Twilight, I tried to combine his Ordon outfit with his tunic. For obvious reasons, neither of them have the Master Sword. They do, however, have their items in their invisible inventory (i.e. Hookshot/Clawshot, Hover Boots, Fishing Rod, etc). Time is using the two-handed Biggoron Sword (OOT); it is an indestructible sword built by the craftsman Biggoron that you only obtain after completing the trade quest. I used the OOT3D model as a reference. (After getting the Biggoron Sword in TOTK, I realized it has its own scabbard and that I’ve been drawing it wrong this whole time lmao…but let’s just say it’s more accurate to the original OOT version? lol) Twilight is using the Ordon Sword and Ordon Shield. The sword was forged by Rusl, his older brother/adoptive father figure, and inlaid with the horns of an Ordon Goat. The sword was meant to be presented to the Royal Family, but that never happens because of the plot. The shield is something he kinda stole (because Midna told him to)

▶︎ Why don't Time and Twilight need to change clothes depending on the weather like Tears?

I was chalking it up to the fact that they didn't have to in their own games (except Time's red "goron tunic" for the fire temple, I guess?), like somehow they're not affected by cold/heat lol - Time and Twilight venture through their deserts/snowy areas without any special clothing. Back in the day, I did a part about it for my Wild & Twilight mini series (2017) where Twilight grumbles about needing to change clothes in the Hebra Mountains, when he never had to do that in Snowpeak.

▶︎ Why doesn't Tears ever wear pants?

I like to maintain his quiet, chaotic persona through his lack of pants (lol). I also think it's accurate to how we play the game, i.e. how often he changes clothes (often mismatched) depending on the situation.

▶︎ Why doesn't Tears talk? Why do only Time and Twilight talk?

A few reasons. One, I personally find Wild/Tears to be a "silent craftsman type" who only talks when necessary. He speaks through his actions rather than words. I know Time and Twilight technically don't speak either (like some kind of Link code lol), but as some have pointed out, I wanted it to be kind of an indicator that they're grown / they've found their voices with time. Also, personality-wise, I imagine Time loves to talk and reminisce. Twilight is usually quiet and more reserved (shy), but he gets loud/talkative about things he feels passionate about (like ranches, Epona, etc). Two, I personally think making Wild/Tears speak would break the immersion factor? The setting is in TOTK, and I want to maintain that silent persona, as the "Link" of this world. (And, if Wild/Tears were ever to speak, it would be that much more impactful!)

▶︎ How long does it take you to finish one part?

It depends. Sometimes it takes a few days, or a few weeks, or a few months. I work on TTT in my free time. For this reason, I will not always have the capacity to work on this series due to my schedule, personal life, etc. Also, I don't want to get burnout.

▶︎ Have you read the Legend of Zelda manga? Will there be any references to the manga in this series?

I've read parts of the manga for Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker. I remember bits and pieces (like Time befriending Volvagia, or Wind holding up those spiky ball things up to his face to make eyes lmao). I haven't read the manga for Twilight Princess, but I've seen glimpses of Twilight talking to the Hero's Shade and I died. I do not intend to make any references to the manga in TTT.

▶︎ I've seen your work posted on YouTube!

Yes, I've spoken to a few people who wanted to dub my comics. They reached out to me and we came to an agreement. I've given permission to these creators on YouTube: PhantomSavage, GabaLeth, philsterman10, and iWillBan. You can view a list of the dubbed comics here!

▶︎ Will you ever print your Time Twilight Tears series?

I want to! I never expected all the attention TTT would get, but if enough people are interested, I'll definitely try to see if I can print it as a book :)

Preorder "Scrap" and other fanbooks starting on May 15!

Hey all, just wanna let you know that soon I'll be opening up preorders for the print version of last year's "Scrap"! This book will also include "The Conversation" as a bonus. The preorder period is from May 15 to June 12.*

Out-of-print books

Additionally, due to follower request you'll be able to preorder the following out-of-print fanbooks during the same period to save on shipping:

Two Minutes: Vol I

Two Minutes: Vol II

Shelter from the Storm

If you want to own a copy of one of these (especially the first Two Minutes books), I'd strongly suggest preordering since I won't be ordering many extras, if at all.

*Due to Paypal restrictions on preorders, it will be disabled until May 29, the start of the final 2 weeks. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Over one hundred miles from home and finally married after being engaged for over a year. All of my life I dreamed of being married to someone who I can be myself with, so we could be both best friends and lovers. Shannon completely fulfills me, I couldn’t be more happier and lucky to have married the woman of my dreams. #happilytakenforever #happilymarriedtomybestfriend #happilyeverafter #happilymarriedman #marriedforever #marriedtomybestfriend #marriedtomysoulmate #marriedtothewomanofmydreams #marriedatfirstsight (at Chestertown, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CceN2lML1Fg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

By next week I will be happily married to @runningwithfoxes . I never thought I would meet my one and only on a dating site. She is my best friend, video game buddy, and soul mate. Every area of my life is immensely fulfilled because we share our lives together. Finding someone who is both incredibly compatible, beautiful, funny, intelligent, and loves animals makes me feel like I won the lottery every single day. A big thank you to the family and friends who have been genuinely happy for us. Your congratulations  are appreciated. 🐝♾🐝 #gettingmarried #marriedlife #married #weddingday #weddingplanning #weddingexcitement #marriagegoals💍 #marriageliferocks #weddings (at Wappingers Falls, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb8BOIYrbX6/?utm_medium=tumblr
