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?????

So... I just got done reading the Skyward Sword Prequel Manga by Dark Horse and... my reaction can be summed up to this GIF.

I know Gods don't see things the same way humans do but fucking hell. Even if the manga is non-canon, this is still fucked up. 'Your imprisonment was willed by the heavens. It was meant to make you strong... But because of this, your life was full of suffering.' - Hylia. YOU THINK???!

Being deemed as a traitor, especially in the Middle Ages, isn't something to take lightly. Gets even worse considering how the people views you. If you are a great hero then the backlash can become pure hell.

Hylia, your kindness just helped damn his soul when you look at all the games and what type of hell every incarnation had to deal with. Demise's Curse makes it even worse as any incarnation of Ganon is a bitch to deal with.

Just fucking hell. Now I see why people portray First as a reserved cautious person or him being the Fierce Deity instead of Sky. Cause this manga alone is good enough reason.

Recently finished Skyward Sword HD, then read the prequel manga ^^ I'm a bit in a TLoZ phase (yes I started pretty late, with BotW in 2020), so just after Skyward Sword, I quickly started and completed OoT 3D, and now I plan to play Majora's Mask 3D ^^

2023 Legend of Link Charity Zine: Interest Check!

Hello, everyone! Seeking here. I know that most of you haven’t heard from me in a while, especially those in the Linked Universe/Legend of Zelda fandom, but I have a super exciting announcement to make! You might be expecting an announcement regarding an upcoming LU Artist Appreciation project, but my plans this summer are a little bit different. Instead, I would like to share with you all a formal interest check for the 2023 Legend of Link Charity Zine!

The goal of this project is to raise at least $1000 dollars for Doctors without Borders through a Legend of Zelda fanzine! Physical and digital copies of the zine will be sold, as well as tons of extra goodies to help cover production costs and maximize the amount we can donate to charity! The fanzine will be focused on the 10 mainline Links and their respective games. The Links will be depicted in the zine in chronological order in terms of their first game release date:

Hero of Hyrule: The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: Adventure of Link

Hero of Legend: A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons

Hero of Time: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask

Hero of the Winds: Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass

Hero of the Minish: Minish Cap

Hero of Twilight: Twilight Princess

Hero of Spirits: Spirit Tracks

Goddess’s Chosen: Skyward Sword

New Hero of Hyrule: A Link Between Worlds

Hero of the Wild: Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom

Should there be enough interest, a final section may be dedicated to “Bonus Links” such as the Hero of Warriors (Hyrule Warriors) and the Hero of the Four Sword (Four Sword Adventures) and the First Hero (prequel hero of the Skyward Sword manga). Each Link will have 4 pages in the zine (with the front and back of one sheet being counted as TWO pages), meaning that the zine will have 4 cover pages (front and back of the front cover = 2, front and back of the back cover = 2, 2+2 = 4) and 40 interior pages. More information about the theme, timeline, and production schedule of the zine can be found in the proposal document below!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J-KXLqbCOEIDzvzn0QmiCkrQsqhxEp7flztGy9OyQ0M/edit

If this project sounds interesting to you, and you can imagine yourself purchasing and/or participating in the zine, please please consider filling out the form below! This project can only happen if there are enough people interested in buying and contributing; I’ll only be able to get this project off the ground with your help!

The form is open all this week and next week. It would mean the world to me if you fill it out!

https://forms.gle/uQ5GNf7eGpp33vF18 This project will be entirely volunteer-based and volunteer-supported. As such, no one, including myself, will be paid, as 100% of proceeds will be going to charity after production costs have been covered. I still want to acknowledge everyone’s hard work, however, so I will provide certification of volunteer hours for any high-school or college students who are interested in participating, as well as anyone else who would benefit from formal documentation of their hours. Furthermore, there will be a page in the zine with each contributor’s social media links, and said links will also be included on all social media pages of the event.

Hope it sounds interesting! Consider filling out the interest form if it does, or boosting this if you think this is a good idea!

Got these lads some better references! Not complete ones, but they're still pretty good.

Here are the 8 Links I'm planning on including! I have general characterization concepts for all the others, but they were being kinda annoying designs. I might include em as I continue to figure out this AU, but for now here's what I got!

Our very first hero! I don't really consider the SS prequel manga canon here so Sky's the very first holder of the Hero's spirit. He's a very kind soul, protective of those he cares for and holding the endless determination and courage of any hero.

After the end of Skyward Sword, Sky's taken up a bit of an 'ambassador to the surface' type role, educating those who've come down with while Zelda spends as much time as she can with her family on Skyloft. Though the scars from his fight with Demise still twinge, Sky's happy to move forward with his life on the surface.

Minish is our youngest member, but that doesn't mean you can underestimate him. Minish is quiet, playful, and endlessly curious. He's the best spy this chain has, able to shrink down to the size of a mouse and be completely invisible to everyone but fellow children.

After saving Zelda from being encased in stone and having her light force drained, Minish simply seeks to spend his time enjoying his childhood with his best friend and learning to forge a sword as good as the four sword.

Mask is our resident angst, his life has been far too hard. Mask is mysterious, closed off, and talented. With the body of a teenager and the mind of a young adult, this lad has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

Resuming his travels after Termina, Mask finds himself looking for somewhere to belong. He's travelled to Labrynna, Holodrum, Koradai, and yet the only place he really felt any sense of family remains in that strange war with Tune and Captain. Perhaps, someday, he'll find his way back to them.

Tune's our resident navigator! He can read and create maps and starcharts like no other, plus he knows his way around a boat. Despite the more pirat-y aesthetic, Tune's really a sweetheart. Sure, he enjoys finding abandoned treasure and sailing, but he's hardly a ruthless bounty hunter or thief. He just loves meeting people, and wants to help anywhere he can. A trait practically required for the hero life.

After his adventures, Tune's living a life of travel on the Great Sea. He has his own boat, but broadly he sails with Tetra, the two finding buried treasures from Hyrule. He's always had that itch to go somewhere, to do something, and maybe he's about to get exactly what he wants.

Wolf's a bit of a mysterious edgy man himself, but this time it's all appearances. Our resident furry is just a big huggable rancher with a protective streak when it comes to his family. He's amazing with animals, and with the help of a certain amazing nose, he can track basically anything.

I'm diverging from canon a lot here. Midna's never shattered the mirror of twilight in this universe, she's just not around in the light world because it would hurt to be anything more than a shadow there. Instead, after their adventure Wolf and her hang out frequently. Wolf's pretty content with his lot in life, he's got his family, his home, and his best friend. Really, what more could he ask for?

Unabashed favorite character alert, Four's a bit of an asshole. Like, they're very heroic and frankly, often right, but they've still got an arrogance problem. They're fiercely loyal and incredibly smart, and will take the role as supposed leader because frankly, no one else wants the title.

After returning the Four Sword with Vaati and Ganon completely obliterated, Four's gone back to their life as a knight. There's still a fierce purple ache in their chest for a certain Shadow, but the teal confidence easily shoves that to the side in favor of being the perfect warrior. Now, Four's rising through the ranks of Hyrule's guard, ready for whatever challenge comes next.

Wild fits their name very well. They're quick to explore every mountain and valley, loot every chest, and find every korok. Incredibly different from the Link from before the Calamity, they share memories but not so much experiences. Wild is the best archer in the group, even without their champion ability.

I can't quite decide whether I want Wild to be pre or post TOTK, but it doesn't make too terribly much of a difference. After his adventure he continues to explore Hyrule and the lands beyond it. He's verrryyy close with his Zelda, and the two like to do a bit of mad science with Purah every so often. He's happy with his new lease in life, but if the chance comes to explore something new? Well, Wild's definitely going to take it.

Cap's here! And he's a bit of a mess. Traumatized from his fights with Cia and Dark Link, Captain has trouble being confident in himself at all anymore. He's always been naturally confident, but ever since that first battle with Dark, Captain's been suppressing that part of himself. He's a very skilled leader and tactician, with the most experience working with a large group.

After the war Captain.. didn't really know what to do with himself. His friends had left, and there was no longer anything to fight against. He decided to dedicate himself to being a guard, but he still felt a little empty. He's never really moved on from the events of the war, but maybe soon he'll return to some old friends.

#legend of zelda #loz #link #art #digital art #fanart #four swords adventures #skyward sword #minish cap #ocarina of time #majoras mask #wind waker #phantom hourglass #twilight princess #breath of the wild #hyrule warriors #I promise I'll stop tagging like this when I find out what to name this AU

how long have you been watching wakfu

Hey moth ✨✨

I’ve actually been watching Wakfu since 2012.

The first time I heard about it was when I used to have Netflix and even then, that was back when the streaming platform didn’t have Season 2 yet lol

What drew me into watching it was mainly cuz of the cover. This one specifically 👇

It used to only show Yugo opening a portal and because of the style, it made me wonder what the story could be about (at the time I used to think Yugo looked pretty cute so that was also another reason lol).

I remember how my first instinct was switch the language to English when I first watched it. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. The reason why I switched it for english tho was because netflix was primarily English so I thought that the French language of Wakfu wasn’t the main one (and I thought it sucked without even taking a second to listen to it 💀 ) Thankfully, as soon as I heard Alibert and Ruel talking, I IMMEDIATELY went back to the settings cuz I knew I fucked up. I ain’t listening to this trash again lol

So I switched it to French and i realized it was a thousand times BETTER than the English version. That’s when I realized Wakfu was french.

I loved the places and the people. It was something I’ve never seen before. The French dubbing was so smooth and funny I loved it so much. The “fillers”, which let’s be honest weren’t actual fillers, were also so fun to see with the whole gang.

Even at the time, I used to believe there would eventually be something between Amalia and Yugo lol cuz ain’t no way you guys constantly hug like this for the dumbest reasons.

When Season 1 ended, I really hoped they weren’t gonna do us like that because I really wanted a season season. At the time I didn’t think ankama already did Season 2 (since 2011 💀) cuz I thought Netflix was always on time so it took me some time to wait for it but a year passed by and it finally got here!! I was so happy that day you had no idea. I had to wait for a whole year before it dropped so my ass was pretty much traumatized after seeing Dally die for the first time I legit thought that he was gonna come back cuz of Nox’s machine but nope 💀 I remember being so sad when I first saw that ending. I really didn’t want it to end, I got too attached to these guys (Amalia was still my favorite back then cuz she was too relatable)

So i watched Season 2 in 2013 AND I LOVED IT. Again, they couldn’t disappoint me. It just got better from that day on.

That’s when I slowly started to dig deeper into Wakfu because there were so many references to things that Yugo and the others were saying that I didn’t even understand. I then learned that Wakfu was based on an MMORPG with the same name,Wakfu, and that there was a prequel to it, Dofus. I also saw how they even had a side story called “Mini Wakfu” which were just shorts from Season 1. I watched that mini series on youtube back then.

Because of Season 2, I was now sure that there will be more to it because so much has been said and yet so little has been explored. So I waited, bought myself some time by watching other shows.

That’s when the ovas happened.

And oh my god I was not ready for it.

The ovas released in 2016 on Netflix but had already been a thing since 2014. Blame Netflix.

And again, there were so much more references that made me feel so confused like who Otomaï was, Ogrest (who was only a giant mention in Season 1 to me), Maskemane, Echo, Sipho, Harebourg, etc.

I was confused but so intrigued because it made me learn that the Krosmoz was A LOT BIGGER than what I thought it would be. And that’s what I like. I love how a story has multiple timelines, has complex strange plot holes in certain places that makes you want to become a theorizer, has so many diverse characters and relationships. Things like those are why I fell in love with the legend of Zelda and fnaf franchises.

That’s how I learned about the mangas, comics, different games (Dofus, Wakfu, Krosmaga, Dofus touch, minor Dofus games on the App Store, etc.) as well as cancelled games (Islands of Wakfu, Wakfu: Les Gardiens, etc). I even started learning more about the Dofus era by going through Dofus shows like “Dofus : Kerub’s Bazaar”.

Right after the ovas, I watched Goultard’s special episode, Ogrest’s special episode, and Nox’s special episode. Then, I saw the Dofus movie featuring Joris and his mom before watching the show. After, I read the wakfu manga that was supposed to situate itself between Season 2 and the ovas. At the time, there were only four volumes so I binge read them all on a google drive that someone was kind enough to share publicly (that google drive doesn’t exist anymore). All of this happened in 2016 btw.

After that, I waited for more news of Wakfu but my dumbass got sidetracked because of binge watching other shows while waiting. I was joining multiplie fandoms while unconsciously waiting for more of Ankama. And that’s how I missed Season 3 that came out in 2017 💀💀 I’m so dumb my god all I had to do was wait another year but noooo youtube had to show me the new season trailer in 2018 instead!

I went back to Netflix, freaking the hell out, binge watched the whole season, got emotional, loved Oropo for kissing Amalia cuz I knew there’d be drama, absolutely adored the whole percedal family being a family, trying not to laugh at Adamaï’s look for the first time, expecting Ruel to get hard over money, and LOVED the drama between Yugo and Amalia. I WAS A FAN OF THEIR SHIP SINCE SEASON 1 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD which is why I was so happy that we finally got to see so much more of their problems being addressed.

After that, I knew I needed more so I went back to reading comics. I bought the actual volumes 1 to 4 of the wakfu manga (because I wanted to have a physical copy of them even though I already read the story) and then waited for the fifth one. As soon as volume 5 released in 2019 (July 4), I TOOK IT FROM AMAZON’S HANDS CUZ VOLUME 4 WAS KILLING ME WITH IT’S ENDING- (I’ve been waiting since 2016, I wasn’t gonna wait any longer).

In 2020, I joined the best wakfu amino on the amino app, and then mainly went looking for Ankama related things like their anime Radiant (I started reading the manga first and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT FOR ITS ORIGINALITY. But I still can’t believe that it got released back in 2013 tho…) and then watched the anime that came out for it (the opening song was good but I hate how the anime changed some things to the story. The manga is better but the anime gets its fair share of popularity so I guess that’s good).

In 2021-2022 I think that’s where I heard about the kickstarter for Wakfu Season 4 and I was mind blown when I saw the trailer for it.

In 2023, I bought Ogrest’s volumes 1 to 4 because I’ve been waiting to read and know more about Ogrest and what was the deal with the Sadida dolls since I heard about those from some people. My god the manga was so good!! I’m still waiting for that volume 5 but I’m extremely certain that it will come very soon now since Mig, the illustrator for the Ogrest manga, has been giving small sneak peeks here and there lately. It was also in the same year that I learned about the One More Gate game and watched Oropo’s special episode.

Then came 2024. And that’s where I went ape shit. Now you know everything ✨

The latest thing I bought from Ankama shop in 2024 now was the standard version of the Amalia figurine, the vinyl disc pack containing Krosmoz osts, and the Wakfu S3 artbook (tho the artbook was actually not something that you can find in the Ankama shop. I had to dig deep on Amazon and find a seller willing to give it away).

So yeah my history with Wakfu is a pretty messy one and has always been all over the place mainly because I was so slow back then to realize when the releases were happening and how the lore was actually constructed lol

Like it took me so much time to understand that Wakfu was only one piece of a bigger puzzle set and being unaware of so many things back then is still something I tend to regret. I understand that it was because I was still a snotty kid back then who didn’t know much about the internet but I can’t help myself to think how easy it was to keep up the pace 💀

At least I won’t have to think I’m late anymore because I’ve got a better idea of how it all works now.

Wakfu has been playing a huge part in my life because it’s always been at the back of my mind no matter what fandom I was in at the time. Sure, it was at the back burner but I never had the intention of forgetting about it. It holds way too many memories of the simpler times and has a lot of great ideas I think I’ve never seen other shows have.

going from the hylink depictions in fandom and all the zelda games where link dedicates his life to saving and serving her to the skyward sword prequel manga is wild because you meet the first link, and he's just like. idgaf about hylia (the goddess). you gods are just as pathetic and powerless as we humans whom you supposedly reign above. why are you coming to me to fix your problems. why do we even keep you around. i don't want your stupid sword. the bird is cool, though.

#and then he dies and hylia is so enamoured by him she gives up her divinity just to figure out what his damage was <3 #we never find out what he was imprisoned for but i like to think it's blasphemy that got extended to treason (since hylia's ruling family #is directly attached to the goddesses) & they let him out being like 'sorry for the blasphemy and treason allegations. we know better now'#and he's like 'oh yeah no the blasphemy was 100% real. the treason not so much but i am very much blasphemous'#and then he walks off to save the day #skyward sword prequel manga #first link #freya talks loz #wkdhdks i love him very dearly. if i dont laugh i'll cry. i think if anyone deserves a ghibli adaptation it's him #his is the only loz story i've seen so far whose themes even remotely match up with ghibli's anyway imo

hihihi!! Reading untarnished and uh I have a question:)

Where's the first link from?

sorry I'm still pretty new to zelda and lu n everything!

so at the back of the Hyrule Historia there's a short prequel manga to skyward sword, and it tells his story.

It's... pretty sad. Poor bby.

It's a really good read though!

tell me ur thoughts on minish cap link plss. u have such good takes

oh my boy....i have so many of them. for starters i think his serious/angry demeanor is something he's had his whole short life. like do you know how there just seems to be a specific brand of children that are like little walking talking professional adults. i think he's been like that since the day he was born. i also think he lost his parents when he was too young to remember them (probably to a disease or smth that passed through hyrule town) and that's why it's just him and his grandpa and people tend to think that that's why he's so serious all the time but no. he's just like that. he doesn't even really care about not having parents outside of idly wondering what would be different if they were still there sometimes but i think he's one of those people who just has a sort of "if it's not something i can fix then there's really no use in thinking about it when i have other things i could be doing" mentality. he's got grandpa and that's always been enough for him.

since he and zelda canonically went to school together i really like to think it was one of those things where zelda basically just attached herself to him like a leech and refused to be shaken off because everyone but him was too intimidated by her princesses status to be her friend. and also because since grandpa smith and king daltus are good & old friends ("He and King Daltus are friends and enjoyed a pleasant rivalry as youths.") i think that she actually would have met smith before when he came to visit the castle (link didn't want to go because the thought of hanging around a castle while his grandpa hung out with his friend sounded boring) so she meets his grandkid and she's like "!!!!!! NEW FRIEND" and meanwhile link is just sitting there like. Get off my arm. What are you doing. which is so far removed from the "uhhh yes princess zelda no princess zelda bye princess zelda" treatment that she was getting that it just motivates her even more. and obviously eventually they do become great friends!

speaking of link and school though... in the game when you go to the school the teacher mentions that she hasn't seen link in a long time and that it was good that he came back which makes me think. okay either link is skipping school solely for the sake of this adventure, his grandpa is LETTING him skip school for some reason or another, or link is skipping school in general (maybe because of something like zelda getting pulled out to study more in-depth about princess things with her private tutors?) and grandpa decidedly Does Not know about it. and since link and smith live in south hyrule field instead of in hyrule town itself it may just be very easy for link TO skip school. either way i think it's hilarious. maybe he sneaks into the castle to visit zelda sometimes like how zelda sneaks out of hyrule castle to go visit him? that one sounds likely.

AND speaking of zelda sneaking out to drag him to the picori festival i think that this is something she continues to do for their whole lives. link is bound and determined to hole himself up and do nothing but work on swords sometimes when they're older (or he just forgets that he's a person who needs to Eat and Drink and whatnot) and zelda just kind of. kicks down the door like HEYYYYY YOU'RE COMING WITH ME TO GO LOOK AT THIS COOL ROCK I FOUND IN THE GARDENS <333 and link is like. couldn't you have just. brought it here? and zelda is like NO <333333333 and drags him there. like so

(the minish cap manga isn't something that i think really Adds anything to the story like the four swords adventures manga or the skyward sword prequel manga and as such i focus more on the game and its storyline instead, but it was nice to finally read through the manga and see So Many Of My Ideas For Link Reinforced. VINDICATION)

as for his adventure.... i really do think link took zelda getting turned into stone and him failing to do anything about it really really hard. especially since his grandpa told link before they left the house to look after her but mostly because she was his first and only friend and he failed her. his inner dialogue is so genuinely distraught when you (as the player) interacts with zelda-as-a-statue and it's genuinely so sad to see. like the equivalent of when ss link started crying when ss zelda sealed herself away to sleep for thousands of years. and tbh i think that's really when his angry-looking demeanor turned into more of an angry personality. or maybe not angry, per se, but definitely determined to a fault. i think he did all the game's sidequests but he always did so (at first at least) in kind of a rushed manner, y'know? and tbh i think ezlo kind of helped to slow him down a little bit despite the fact that ezlo was always the one to be urging him onwards—ezlo would be like "hurry up you lazy boy!" and link would get so irritated that he would slow down on purpose. like a sort of "WELL NOW THAT YOU TOLD ME TO SPEED UP I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT >:(" and it goes a long way for cooling his Rage levels down to just Grumpy levels.

meeting with the minish helps him out as well to act less like a Haggard Adult and more like the kid he is! they're all so warm to him that he literally can't find it in himself to deny them when they invite him in for a cup of berry juice or something. one thing i liked about the manga is that it had link help out with the restoration of the broken pieces of the picori blade into the white sword, and i'm absolutely integrating that into my mc link belief system. i also think that he nags melari and his disciples like crazy because he doesn't know whether or not he'll ever get the chance to ask them about things again. immediately after his adventure, without ezlo around, he can't shrink down to their size anymore BUT he can still see them even when he gets well past the age limit. he's not called the hero of the minish for nothing! and i love to think that eventually he figures out a spell to shrink on his own.

as for him and the four sword....i think one big thing about the four sword that not enough people take advantage of in writing about it is that it's an elemental sword. the master sword is a sword of the divine but the four sword is made from the pure essences of the earth and wind and fire and water and even the gods themselves know the power of the elements and all that they bring (did demise not call down lightning from a storm of water and wind to aid him in his battle, instead of using his own dark powers? did the golden goddesses not use water to flood hyrule to wipe out the darkness staining the land? was the power of the master sword not granted by the sacred fires?). so i like to think that when link finally brought together all four elements and the picori blade finally became The Four Sword it was something he could feel all the way down to the core of him—the earth under his feet, the wind in his lungs, water in his blood and a fire in his heart. it's how he was able to get to vaati so fast when the time limit part happened—the elements themselves were aiding him, in their own way. and i like to think that some part of him can still feel that same sort of guiding sway even after sealing vaati away and leaving the four sword behind—it's more distant, but he always knows the moment his fires reach the right temperatures to work with in the forge, and if he closes his eyes while walking on land or on the cloud tops or while swimming in the water he always somehow finds himself at his intended destination no matter what.

but also, and i've brought this up before a few times (and it's an idea that isn't set in stone for me, just something fun to think about), but i reallyyyyy think it'd be so fucking interesting if the four sword's splitting of its later wielders came not from any interference with its magic from vaati but from it reacting to a wish from mc link: that he didn't have to fight alone. no matter how brave or scrappy or angry he is, he's still just one very young kid against all these monsters (and VAATI, who was, at that point, very close to matching the strength of a god as a result of absorbing so much of the light force. he even transported link to a Special Place that went on seemingly forever for the final battle, just like demise did with ss link). i think there would be some tiny part of him that wished that someone was there to watch his back, no matter how capable he might have grown to be. maybe he looked at the identical, transparent copies of himself while fighting vaati and went "why do they always have to disappear the moment they get hit?! why can't they be solid like me and actually help me FIGHT?!" and the four sword heard that and was like "you got it little man 👍" and then because it's just made up of the elements and doesn't actually have any sort of conscious spirit like the master sword and fi it just. split the four-who-are-one and fs and fsa link's entire souls into four HAHA

back to thinking about him and zelda, i think that they would be kind of nervous at the next annual picori festival because of the way things went down the year prior, but once the festival goes off without a hitch this time they start to relax again. i also think they hold hands the whole festival but it's not because of what the surrounding townspeople are thinking ("ooooh they're such a cute pair <3 the sweet little princess and her stoic little hero <33") and more because it's a reminder to both of them that zelda is no longer a damn statue lmao. i think it was as bad on zelda's side as it was on link's side because zelda literally admits she was having visions of link during his adventure in both the game and the manga. she was conscious for that whole thing to some degree. i think she gets even MORE energetic (which didn't seem possible to people before) after the whole shebang just because she can move around again and i think that link puts up a LOT less of a fight when it comes to letting her drag him around places too. and he smiles more often after his adventure! to the great wonder of the townspeople and the great relief of his grandpa LMAO. and i think zelda starts nagging him about wanting to go climb the giant vines that touch the sky and meeting zeffa and visiting the wind tribe and so that's exactly what they go do. one of the greatest joys in life is chasing your best friend around on top of a cloud with the wind at your back!

eventually he outgrows the hat ezlo made for him and i think he gets so so so sad about it (not outwardly but. zelda and his grandpa can still tell) so zelda asks him if she can turn the hat into another article of clothing for him instead and he agrees. and she makes him another hat in its place that actually fits him now and he gets so happy about it.

i do think he also wears that roc's cape of his all the time too because thinks it looks super cool. not that you can tell because. again. he's still got the world's angriest resting face <3

#ALRIGHT I'M STOPPING IT NOW BEFORE I WRITE A FUCKING ESSAY LMAOOOOOOOO #this was fun i love thinking about the hero of the minish. my favoritest boy in the franchise <3 #mc #minish cap #asks #txt

Before TOTK but after LU and BOTW

Spoiler for TOTK

Flora and Wild find a room in the forgotten temple with graves.

His brothers graves. Flora sees that they are all empty but there is statue on top of all of them of the heroes, second before their death. Standing tall, some older than others.

Warriors grave seems to show that his death was mere day after LU ended. He died alone, betrayed.

Sky grave is really weird. His statue look like it’s been stuck in a sandstorm for too long, there is no recognizable features of anything just the vague idea of it

TOTK prologue

Wild find all 3 of FD armour pieces. A voice calls to him in the dept

Arriving there, ( under the exact same spot , but in the dept) he find a man.

It’s sky. His spirit and body have been separated and his spirit sealed in the FD mask.

He dies, in wild arms. Wild bring his corpse to the room in the forgotten temple and place it in his grave.

Wild search the light dragon to find fi. He do find her. Her and all of his brothers corpse who look freshly dead.

Warriors clearly died not long after LU, he is still in the bandage he had after the battle. Wild realize that he look awfully young. He look terrified. Twilight seems to be hugging him, protecting him. Or warriors died on the light dragon, too late to be saved and hid in the arms of his predecessor, the brother he looked up to. The one who never really did gave him any attention, who never realized he was his successor.

Wild… wild used to have a little brother. If he take extra care of warriors corpse, if he hug him close and give him a kiss on the brow, before closing his grave, well… nobody is here to see.

All of his brother safely entombed, even the one he never got to meet, the one who’s story got told but stayed legend and myth and not flesh and bone, laughter and tears,wild continue his adventure.

As he is fighting the ganondragon he get mortally wounded. Fall on the ground, light dragon dive after him. She calls to something someone.

Hylia and link from the skyward sword prequel manga appears from a portal. ( I love him okay) First is mortally wounded. Hylia, who is herself quite diminished having just created skyloft bring ganondragon down. First and wild, the first and last hero, support each other to plant fi in ganondragon stone. Killing him and bringing the end of the cycle.The light dragon take them to the forgotten temple and Hylia follow them.

Arrived there, she make Wild and First a grave. As she prepare to leave the light dragon stop her, she turn around and meet all of the Zelda’s ghost. Sun tell Hylia about her life. About the sweet pain of mortality. That she would choose it all over again. All the Zelda are fiercely protective of their link, the way they were of them.

Tetra is the one to gently push Hylia out of the room, telling her that she has work to do. Hylia goes back in time to start the long cycle of wearing demise power down so that sky can slay him for good and wild and firts destroy his power.

But firstly, she make it so that the heroes statue above their graves look like they are all sleeping, as if they were travelling together again for some and newly for others. With fi in the middle and the Zelda as lookout, they are finally free to rest. The light dragon shall evermore guard their graves.

In the new dawn, Epona rides on. And above, a red loftwing fly higher and higher.

Got the grave in forgotten temple idea from a ao3 fic but I don’t remember the fic

It’s Who could ever leave ( but who could stay ) by sciencelings

#linked universe #the gremlin speaks #the gremlin write.unfortunately #lu warriors #lu warrior angst #lu wild #loz first #hylia #lu wild angst #bittersweet #lu sky #fierce deity #fierce deity sky #lu flora #am not tagging general zelda tag because it’s too lu in my opinion #am not sorry
