After drawing Legend and Ravio as Howl(s) I realized Sky and Sun fit Pazu and Sheeta and well…👀

I may or may not be government assigning them all Studio Ghibli movies now 🤣

I recently saw a post on here saying something about Legend in Howl’s Moving Castle and it made me realize how my favorite boys already fit both blonde and black haired Howl so I knew what I had to do 🫡

One of the little joys of leaving the church? Getting to enjoy my hobbies guilt free.

No more “Is this movie inviting the Spirit into our home?” No more “If you spent as much time reading scriptures as you do reading novels it would be a way better use of your time!” No more “You can play some fun songs on the piano but you should mostly focus on learning hymns, then God will multiply your talent!” No more “You seem to care about this collection a lot, it’s not becoming a false idol to you is it?” No more internalizing all those critical thoughts until I can’t even enjoy those hobbies when I’m alone.

Now I celebrate the things I love. I don’t feel guilty or like I should be spending my time on more ~righteous~ activities. I know that humans need a variety of hobbies and outlets and I cherish the interests I have that let me experience different facets of life. Everything doesn’t have to have a gospel related purpose. Sometimes I can love a hobby with my whole heart just because it’s so fun :)

Just wanted to say, absolutely adore your art and go back to look at your wing boys on the regular. Thanks for the awesome art!

ADLFLASKDJKJSADF Thank you my friend oh my god you are such a sweetheart I could cry😭I am genuinely so honored and happy you like my art! TOTK has been out for almost a month now so I'm going to try and focus on drawing and posting again soon! My original goal was to get all the wing boys done before TOTK came out but well...life got in the way lol. Poor Time, he's always the one that winds up having to wait for forever.😂

I don’t know if you’ve been planning it already but would Ravio be a Hyacinth Macaw? They like shiny things, they’re bright purple, and they have a tendency to chatter and dance!

Hello friend!!! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond! I can't even use the excuse of college I've just been playing Tears of the Kingdom nonstop.😅But I LOVE that idea so much!!! I've been wanting to draw Ravio for a while now because he's one of my all time favorite Zelda characters I just couldn't decide on a bird for him. 😅 I think Hyacinth Macaw's are typically more blue than purple but shhhhhhhh it fits him too well to NOT make him one lol. Thank you again for your suggestion my friend! I will try to draw him soon! >:D

Part 8 of the Linked Universe Winged Au (LUWAU)! After an eternity we've finally got our boy, Warriors!

<<< Previous Next >>> Coming Soon!

Starting off strong with a silly little bird fact, did you know that Blue Jays aren't actually blue? Blue Jay feathers have a brown pigment and their iconic blue color is actually a trick of the light! This is due to a trick called, "light scattering" and it occurs when every color passes through the feathers EXCEPT blue. In other words, only the blue color is reflected so your eyes will see blue.

Anyways! This fact was completely irrelevant for why I chose a Blue Jay for Warriors but it was cool so I had to share it. Also because I really wanted Warriors to be some sort of blue bird and a quick Google search told me that Blue Jays aren't even technically blue and I just about died inside.

But in all seriousness, aside from color schemes, the main reason Warriors is a Blue Jay in this winged au is because they are well known for their incredible intelligence. Warriors is a smart man, and a military leader and strategist on top of that, so I believe that these traits really got to be showcased in the tendencies and habits of Blue Jays!

One example of these strategies is how Blue Jays are oftentimes an alarm system for other birds because they imitate the sound of hawks, thus protecting other birds from predators by giving them an early warning. Warriors is one of the oldest members of the chain and as such, he takes his job very seriously when it comes to ensuring their safety and will go to great measures to protect them. Because of this, in my au he is almost always the first to volunteer for night watches as he is the one most likely to spot danger before it spots them.

On top of their intelligence, Blue Jays are also well known for their complex social systems and tight family bonds. If Time is the Dad of the group and Twilight is the big brother, then Warriors is the Uncle. While he usually showcases how much he cares through his subtle strategies and protective nature, he also shows it by teasing the others and willingly being the butt of their jokes in return. Their laughter and happiness are just as important as their physical safety after all.

Anyways! That's got to be all for now folks! Thank you all again for your kind words! Our resident old man Time will be coming up next to wrap up the first drawings of the chain! After Time is done, there will be various content of other characters outside the chain along with more art of the chains dynamics and shenanigans! If you have any requests for who or what you would like to see next feel free to reach out! Thank you all again!

There are already characters in town who won't stop to talk to you (like castle town in TP). So of all the dialogue to include for the characters who WILL stop and talk…why specifically say she knows nothing…hmmmmmmmmm?

Do the Avians stick to their main outfits or do they mix it up? What are their cozy/relaxing clothes?

Excellent question my friend! I would say that for the most part all the Links generally just stick to their usual outfits. This is mainly because the chain is almost always traveling/on the road and their "canon" outfits are much more suited for adventuring then any other alternatives. However, their "everyday" clothes have been modified to have slits in the back to allow for their wings to slip through while still not compromising the integrity of their armor/chainmail underneath. In other words, there aren't really any major changes to their main outfits aside from having thin holes in the back to make room for their wings.

As for the Links cozy/relaxing clothes? They all have their own interpretations of what cozy or relaxing means for them, so I'm just going to group them into 3 general categories that I think they would be in.

Shirtless Gang:

Time - Listen, Time walks around in a suit of armor all the time so pretty much anything else could be considered cozy/relaxing clothes compared to that.🤣 But this man has some MASSIVE wings so I believe that he enjoys clothes that give him the chance to free them and let them breathe easier. Because of this, I would say his standard for "comfortable" would probably either be just a loose tunic or just some regular pants and no shirt.

Twilight - Like Time, this man works on a ranch and likes to wrestle Gorons for fun. Because of this, and definitely not because I'm a simp I believe he's very accustomed to working shirtless and so his definition of "cozy" clothes is honestly just sitting around shirtless in some comfy pants.

Warriors - I don't even have a proper justification for why I believe this man walks around shirtless I just feel it in my soul. He's a very very pretty man and I'm selfish and a simp and I want to see him shirtless. But in all seriousness, Warriors wears a LOT of layers all the time so I just want him to be able to take some off and relax a little bit.

Sweatpants/Pajamas Squad:

Sky - Look me in the eye and tell me that this man wouldn't wear cozy clothes like pajamas and the Zelda equivalent of a hoodie and sweatpants. Sky just gives off such warm, SUNny (pun intended) vibes and I believe he deserves cozy clothes that match that same energy.

Hyrule - This boy deserves all the love in the world and if I could give him the equivalent of a snuggie hoodie I would. Plus I can just 100% see him doing that thing where he forces Legend or Wind or just another member of the chain to share the same hoodie with him.🤣 He is basically the walking equivalent of the, "Get Along Shirt" meme and I will die on this hill.

Wind - There's literally an option in Wind Waker for him to be able to go through his entire adventure in basically his pajamas and for that reason I believe his cozy clothes are just a casual long sleeved shirt and pants. He also just seems like the kind of guy that can and would kill a grown man while in his pajamas and I love that for him.

Shorts/Tanktop Team:

Legend - Legend gives off baggy shirt and shorts vibes. I know he doesn't wear pants but listen...shorts don't count as pants. Give this boy his t-shirt and boxers combination please.

Wild - Wild could honestly fit in any one of these categories because he seems pretty easy to please when it comes to clothing. However, when it comes to relaxing I believe he prefers a casual tanktop and shorts combination because it allows his wings and feathers to breathe while still covering some of his many scars.

Four - Listen, Four is a pretty practical kind of guy so I think he really appreciates the mobility and freedom that a simple tanktop and shorts provide. Plus, I feel like whenever he has the chance he likes to run and crawl around talking to the Minish/Picori and shorts and a tanktop aren't as easy to get grass stains on.

Anyways I hope this answered your questions friend! As always, these are my personal interpretations but feel free to tell me what ideas you have for all the boys! Thank you again for you question!

Seeing as we only have the initial designs/drawings for Warriors and Time left for the Linked Universe Winged Au, who or what would you like to see once they are complete? I have full intentions of continuing this Winged Au for quite some time and all of these ideas will likely be drawn at some point or another so have no fear! 😊

In your avian AU, does everyone have wings or just the Links?

Hello my friend! I'm sorry it took so long to respond, finals have actually been killing me. 😅

In this AU Hylians are the main race (aside from the Rito) who have wings, although it isn't unheard of for Humans or the occasional Gerudo to have wings depending on their genetics and lineage and whatnot. The Gorons, Zora, and Rito all unfortunately don't have wings though for pretty obvious reasons. 🤣

But wings are one of two of the main physical features that distinguishes Hylians from regular humans. Much like how their pointed ears are said to be used to receive special messages from the gods, a Hylian's wings are believed to be a symbol of their close connection to the gods and should be used to climb the heavens to draw oneself closer to them. Not everyone believes in these theologies of course (*cough cough* LEGEND *cough cough*) but regardless, a Hylian's pointed ears and wings are typically interpreted as a symbol of their connection to the Goddess Hylia.

In other words, to answer your actual question, wings aren't limited to just the Links! Because of this, society as a whole all throughout Hyrule have adapted their infrastructure and social behaviors to support the needs of those with wings. For example, there are a surplus of designated landing areas, clothing stores, wing care/support items, furniture, buildings, etc. that have all been adapted specifically for those with wings. Basically wings are a pretty common sight throughout Hyrule! I hope this answered your question friend! 😊
