#and then obvs like two days later he gets picked up for the Lu quest

[anicyz]

Linked Universe but Wild sped run through his adventure.

He’s never seen the master sword in his life, has no knowledge of any of the lore of his world or Hyrule in general. He has no idea who Zelda is, his best guess is that girl that was really sad that he didn’t know her name. When he’d freed her she’d started talking and he may have gotten bored and wandered off after minute 5 of her lecture.

He’s not sure who this ‘Gannondorf’ person is either. Sky is excited about that until Wild proclaims he’s never heard of Demise, “Is that a type of food?”

He has no idea who Wolfie is but he’s also never seen a wolf before to his recollection so he has none of the latent weariness the rest of the chain do when interacting with him.

He insists that he’s never seen a castle until they end up in Twilight’s Hyrule and are shown around the palace. Ever since then his answer is “Oh you mean the big dungeon, yeah I’ve been there.”

He tends to avoid all monster fights unless it’s absolutely necessary for them to continue. He fights with a stick at first and then borrows a sword when handed one. He has the endurance of 8 large horses and the reflexes of a squirrel. His fighting style consists of ambush attacks and sprinting away to wear the enemy down without getting hit.

Dressing him is an uphill battle, why would he need armor when he can just not get hit?

Short drabble under the cut.

With all of Wild’s strangeness the rest of the chain wonders what his adventure was like. Whenever someone asks he usually just says “I woke up, traveled to the big black smoky place, killed the thing in it, and called it a day.” No one can get him to elaborate.

One day Legend comes to a realization, “That’s really all you did isn’t it?

“All I did?” Wild looks up from examining what is clearly just a common pebble. Legend has never met someone so amazed by everything around them before.

“You woke up, went straight to the big bad somehow, and finished it off. You called it a day.” The other’s were starting to take interest, glancing back from their traveling positions.

“I mean, I grabbed a branch along the way to, it was a nice shape!” Wild holds up a twig with a slight crook in it, “Like this but bigger!”

“And you called it a day.” Legend ignores Wild’s hesitant nod to instead watch the horrified understanding dawn on Time’s face.

“A day.” Their leader croaks.

Warriors stops walking, Twilight bumping into his back, “A day,” he rounds on Wild, pushing past the others to grip the scarred man’s shoulders, “Are you telling me it took you one day to complete your adventure!?”

Wild winces at the tight grip but nods anyways “Yes? That’s what I’ve been saying?”

There’s a moment of silence before the entire party bursts into motion and sound.

#I know I said in my last post I would talk about Wild in the update #but tumblr is a trash fire and I lost motivation to do that #so instead have my what if headcannon scenario about Wild and speed runs #I like the idea of it taking him a day and him being kinda groggy the whole time #like he was told he had to get up and fight the bad guy #he has no memories or understanding of prep work this task might entail #so he grabs the nearest branch and gets the job done #the sooner it’s over the sooner he can nap #and then obvs like two days later he gets picked up for the Lu quest #sorry about the tag length #can’t be bothered to shorten them today #ani has thoughts #lu wild #linkeduniverse #linked universe #lu #lu legend #lu time #lu twilight #lu warriors #lu headcanons #lu sky #Speedrun at Your Own Risk
