i feel like my names for links tend to be a bit on the weirder side and i feel like rambling (bored) so um name origins in chronological order of when i made em
jo (Alternate Triforce)— he's my first FC Link so initially I called him Link. then i felt like i was too focused on making him "linkish" and had trouble developing him. he didn't feel like his own person quite yet. at the time, ALT was a LOT different from what it is currently. at the time the plot was basically "ganon is """""""smarter""""""" so instead of going after zelda immediately he tries to kill link, unfortunately he can't and it turns into wacky hijinks where ganon is basically a cartoon character chasing link around with a mallet"
so. technically he is named after jerry from a tom and jerry short where jerry gets called "little johann"
lionel (also from ALT but you haven't seen him) — so he's like. king link. so i had to give him a fancy name that still sounded like link
bessemer(used to be from ALT, now he is not)— he didn't actually have a name until recently but he is named after a type of furnace
cal — so the people i hung out with at the time were big on naming their fan characters after flowers and like victorian flower meanings or whatever so i succumbed to peer pressure. his full name is calycanthus which is also known as carolina allspice or sweetshrub. his zelda is named after baby's breath (gypsophilia)
panka — I used to call him dundee?? as in like. crocodile dundee??? then I don't remember who found panka's actual name but i'm pretty sure the baby name site said it had something to do with mud.
felix — people call him lucky and he got buried alive
theodora — I literally don't remember why her nickname is theodora. i usually call her dora. (iirc her real name IS theodora but she goes by link. opposite of panka)
victor, lila, roui, um name i can't remember —
uggg. originally i was gonna have a sequel to ALT based on four swords. but. I scrapped it. victor is called victor cause he's a weirdo who digs up bodies lila is turkish for purple roui is french for red iirc. bam
eyegore — link raised by monsters. eyegore is a type of monster. this is also his actual name
mellifer — he's a fairy! he's named after the eurasian honeybee, apis mellifera
athos — he uses a rapier a lot so i named him after a musketeer. this is technically his last name
pavel — he's slavic and it sounds nice. my friend suggested this btw
gaffen — his name originally came from "gaffe" which means a blunder (I was originally going to name him "mistake" but that was too on the nose.) then i found out there's a word in german, "gaffen" which is I think an unconjugated verb that means "to gawk/stare/rubberneck." he tends to do a lot of rude staring, he's almost always being watched, and when he does interact with people he's incredibly awkward, so it fits
chalkane — my friend suggested this name :] iirc it's based on "chalk" and "alkane" though "chicanery" was also mentioned.

Have you ever designed your own Link/Zelda? Like your own original design?
ooooo yes!! I have my own original toon link design!
He’s an oldie but I don’t have a full story for him yet. His and my Zelda designs are influenced by the tribal attire of my culture, along with some of our old beliefs and superstitions in their backstory haha.
He signs too, which is cool ^^

Pssst, hey, imagine this:
When the hero’s die, instead of moving on their spirits get sucked inside the mastersword, (don’t question how those who don’t use the mastersword get sucked in there) and they’re left to be a guide for the next hero to use them. Fi is there too btw.
Anyways as each person gains the mastersword, they also gain a handful of guides who can either be super helpful or super annoying.
POV Wild:
Legend: well well well! Look who finally decided to pick us up again.
Time: Ledge, don’t be rude, he died. He’s allowed to take a while
Hyrule: im just glad to see him back!
Sky: how are you, Link? Are you well? Are you okay now? That was quite the scare you gave us! How is your face? Do your scars hurt? Can we help?
Wild: Who the fuck are you?????
