Do you have any hylink headcanons :3
Hehe why yes I do ;)
- Their relationship verges on forbidden. Mortals and gods aren’t technically supposed to fall in love. So they’re forced to keep it a secret. They do…okay at it. Everyone can tell something is going on by the lovey dovey eyes and the way they talk to each other. (People guessing what’s going on eventually leads to Link’s framing and subsequent imprisonment — at least in part. They get jealous of him being the goddess’ favorite.)
- They’re both love adventure so whenever they sneak off to be together you can find them somewhere outside. From exploring Faron Woods to hiking up Death Mountain and getting lost in Lanayru Mines, they do it all. But their favorite thing is to get on Crimson and fly together
- They’re both naturally drawn to the sky. Link told Hylia once that he dreamt of being able to live there. She promised him that one day they would
- Link composed the Ballad of the Goddess for Hylia as a way to show her how much he loved her. And she composed the Song of the Hero for him.
- Before his imprisonment, they were actually skirting the topic of marriage. Neither really knew how to make it work but they were willing to try
- They shared their first kiss in a tree in the Faron Woods. A Kikwi spying nearby got embarrassed and squealed so loud it scared the crap out of them. They fell out of the tree
- And on a more angsty note…although Hylia withdrew during Link’s imprisonment (because she knew she couldn’t save him and it hurt too much to watch him going through so much) she was always looking out for him. She would lessen his pain whenever she could and frequently watched over him while he slept.
- To end with some fluff…Hylia has a mischievous, playful streak and enjoys hiding things for Link to find. It’s their own, personal little game. She hides things, he finds them all and teases her about concealing them in places like pots and grass.

Hylia: *bringing home a half feral knight she found in the woods* This is Link and I love him!
Nayru: Hylia, we love you and support you fully, but falling for a mortal is 100% the dumbest thing you've ever done.
Din: ...yeah, he's gonna have to prove himself worthy before he's allowed to be your lover.
First Hero: Name your challenge!
Farore: Ooh! He has guts! I like him!
Demise: *trying to figure out how he can use this development in his plans to ruin Hylia's life over and over for eternity*

I realised I've never actually shared the detail of my knotwork showing the battle between the First Link and Demise so here you go! This was really fun to create
More info under the cut
This knotwork is loosely based on extant Jelling style examples, although I have absolutely no pretense that it's anywhere near realistic.
On either side of the knotwork you have two figures, Hylia on the left and the First Link on the right. Both are shown with the triforce, Hylia above her because it's a more spiritual part of her existance, and the First on his shield to represent the goddess' patronage.
The knot itself is made of two figures, a wyrm that represents Demise, and a stylised loftwing. On the back of the loftwing is the figure of the First Link, his pose heavily inspired by norse images of Sigurd slaying Fafnir.
Here I have shown the First in the moment that he slays Demise, but have also alluded to his tragic fate by having him also have a sword through his side, showing that he has given his life for his cause.
Also there are a matching set of stylised loftwings on either side of the knotwork because it was fun and they were pretty
I made this as a companion to my fic Untarnished, where the First Link gets a happy ending, actually. It just takes a while.

What are your LU/LOZ First headcanons?
Personality, trauma responses, family role (big brother, father, only child, etc), favorite foods/colors/season, anything!
I've never written First before, I don't see that much of him either and I'm working through fanon stuff while waiting for my paycheck to get the Hyrule Historia(is it Hystoria?), but I'd love to hear your headcanons for him!

I’ve been meaning to make a post like this for a while now but kept forgetting. Since First isn’t widely known I wanted people to have an explanation of who the heck this guy is (and why they should love him). So without further ado
Who is the First Hero?
(All of the following pictures are from the Hyrule Historia)
The First Hero (or First as we call him in the Linked Universe fandom) shows up in a tiny manga at the back of the Hyrule Historia (that’s basically an encyclopedia for Zelda). He isn’t technically canon and doesn’t have a game of his own. But according to the manga he is the first Link, Skyward Sword Link’s predecessor.
He lived in a time when Hylia was still a goddess and before Demise’s first attack. He was a royal knight, much like Hyrule Warriors Link, and seemed to be a man of great respect and esteem. Until, that is, he was framed for an unknown crime and imprisoned.
Tumblr media
He remains in the dungeons for four years. Then, when his so called “premonitions of danger” begin to come true, and Demise attacks Hyrule, his people decide “oh, wait! They kinda need a hero now!” So, they set him free and practically beg him to fight for them. He’s understandably bitter about the whole thing, but being the hero he is, he goes out to battle.
Tumblr media
No sooner has he agreed to fight, than the goddess Hylia shows up on her crimson loftwing. She has come to battle Demise and help her people escape to safety.
The loftwing looks down upon the humans as weak and cowardly. But Link stands up to him, telling him “there are those among us who have the courage to fight.” The loftwing admires him for the sentiment, but isn’t convinced. He promises to keep watch over him to see if Link is a worthy rider.
With the loftwing gone to the heavens above, Hylia gives Link the Master Sword
Tumblr media
Link doesn’t think he is worthy of it after his imprisonment, but Hylia assures him that the sword knows better. It sees beyond his tarnished reputation to the kind, brave man beneath.
Though Link is still bitter about everything he has endured, he swears to fight for his friends. He takes the sword and hones it into something a mortal can wield.
Then, he goes to battle.
Hylia rallies the other races around Hyrule to help the Hylians. Meanwhile, Link and his men fight for seven days. Despite their efforts, Demise begins to burn Hyrule to the ground.
In the end, Link goes to face him, promising to slay him.
Tumblr media
But he is badly wounded in the fight. He collapses, weak and near death. Before he can fade away, however, the loftwing shows up and chooses him as his rider.
Tumblr media
He swears to ride with the loftwing forever. Shortly afterward, the dragons from Skyward Sword bless the Master Sword with the power of the Triforce. Then, Link gives the sword to Hylia, who carves Hyrule from the earth.
Link retrieves the sword and drives it into the ground, finishing the job and sending Hyrule skyward.
He wants to follow his people to the skies, but his wounds catch up to him. He falls to the ground. In his last moments he promises that his spirit will always be with his people.
Tumblr media
Hylia seals Demise away, even as the enraged god promises to prevail. Then, she goes to where her fallen hero lies.
She holds him, crying over him and lamenting the pain he had to endure to become the hero Hyrule needed. Knowing that Hyrule will need their help once more, she then promises to reincarnate them both. Only this time, she will be a mortal.
Tumblr media
This story, we learn, becomes legend in the era of Skyward Sword. And the loftwing who Link swore to ride with chooses the child who has his reincarnated spirit, Skyward Sword Link or Sky.
Tumblr media
Now, as for First’s standing in LU…I’m know multiple LU fans (myself included) speculate that Jojo will include him at some point. She’s been cryptic about it when asked though, so we don’t know for sure. Neither do we know when he’ll show up (if he does). So, for now, we can only hope.
…and create our own AU’s in the meantime ;)

This may sound a wee bit dumb, but who exactly is First? Was there a hero before Sky? Is this canonical? I'm rather clueless and curious.
I’m about to log off so this’ll be a quick answer, but the answer is... sort of? XD
In the Hyrule Historia, (a big book you can get with lots of timeline stuff and concept art— highly recommend) there’s a bonus manga in the back, which features a hero before skyward sword, supposedly the first ever.
I don’t believe it’s technically canon, but in skyward sword itself there are references to a hero before Sky, so there’s at least a little truth to it. He’s a very tragic guy, but he and his story are fun to mess around with anyways.
