A hero after a ten thousand year period. Whose hundred-year slumber left them to wander through the wilds of a ruined Hyrule. A champion in an epoch inevitable, they seek their vengeance for memories and friends lost to a great calamity.
Hello and welcome to the show! Ask-LU-Wild (ALUW) is a blog that consists of primarily comics and text posts where you get to ask the Hero of the Wilds the questions you've been dying to know!
Please remember that as of the "Fairies, We Shrank the Wild" (previously "a not-so-wild child") arc, Wild uses the pronouns They/Them. They still identify as a boy currently. This is subject to change in the future.
My name is Author. I'm 22, and my pronouns are Vi/Viol, as in Violet.
Ask-LU-Wild Started out as a fanfiction of Linked Universe by Jojo, but the story and characters are vastly different. As of 14 April 2022, despite the name of the blog staying the same, its association with Linked Universe is somewhat distant.
CONTENT WARNING: Ask-LU-Wild contains scenes that are highly graphic in the blood, gore, and body horror sense. Viewer discretion advised.
If you would like to still read the blog but still filter specific subjects, please refer to the Trigger Warnings section in "A Link to the Tags". Remember that the more graphic content will be labeled under Nightmare Fuel. Please filter this tag if you feel you need to. Because our main character is low-key immortal, death is not a trigger warning.
Rules
Use the inbox to only interact with the characters. If you would like to ask me, Author, something, please use @author-main.
I'm not a teacher, I'm a storyteller. I can't explain everything down to a science, and I'm learning as I go along. While I do research topics when needed, some of the things I write about are from experience and observation. Please respect and understand that. If there's something you want to help me understand, please use my main blog's inbox.
Even though this blog is no longer that connected to Linked Universe, I would ask that we keep the no NSFW/Linkcest rule. Though the Links in ALUW may be very affectionate/loving to each other, it's all platonic. That being said, I don't have a problem with a little raunchy humor every now and again. If jokes or light talk about sex bothers you, it's not constant, but reader discretion is advised anyway. Know that this isn't an attack on people who enjoy NSFW and Linkcest content, it's just that I'd like to keep the found family trope on this blog, and just... not deal with NSFW here.
Please keep personal experiences to a minimum, especially if they're heavy. They've started throwing me off and I want to keep the heavy stuff from the audience to a minimum.
If the story is getting a bit too rough for you, please leave, or take a break at the least. Your mental health is important. However, if something upsets you, please don't attack me or the story because of that. I don't know you. I don't know what you don't like, nor what hurts you. I am not responsible for you. You are your own responsibility. Please remember that.
And on that note, I think it's important for me to say that tagging triggers aren't mandatory. I didn't tag them because I'm obligated to. I have no obligation to do anything, not even make this blog. Tagging is a courtesy.
Please respect my headcanons, ships, design choices, character choices, etc. I respect all of your ideas for Linked Universe/LoZ and I request the same respect for ALUW.
I want to make note that no specific mental illnesses are chosen for these characters, except for the obvious PTSD, and occasionally depression. Things like insomnia or paranoia have been named, and symptoms of mental illness are present and touched upon.
I'm in the process of figuring out all of the Zelda games to write this story. If I miss something, bear with me, please. I don't think my versions of Four and Wind will have gone through Four Swords Adventures and Spirit Tracks.
As of this point, no manga. However, there is a potential that this rule might be retracted.
You can complement the Links, but do not ask to kiss them or act in a lewd way, especially the minor Links and other characters (Wild, Four, and Wind). Sex jokes are allowed but make sure they aren't too graphic and maybe only say those jokes around adult characters.

A Link to the Tags: all commonly-used tags in ALUW. This includes trigger warnings, character tags, and arc tags.
Note: "A not-so-wild child" has been renamed to "Fairies we Shrank the Wild"
Author-Main: My main blog. A lot of stuff happens there. I don't tag spoiler content though, so watch out for that.
Angster's Paradise Discord: A discord run by @hiddenteddy and me.
Wild's Sheikah Slate Discord: A discord mainly meant for ALUW updates and stuff. It's only run by myself.
Ko-fi: I don't get paid for this blog, obviously. But as a broke college graduate, I would appreciate it if you donated. I do commissions and own a shop too. So I recommend following.
While I'm at it, I still think about ALUW and have plans to continue, it's just... I've been consumed by another fandom. So it's gonna take a while for me to return.
Slightly redoing all the Links. Honestly I think Four's design is the most drastic. I can't stand seeing him in just the tabard, he needed some pumpkin pants. Also in the past I drew him with a chubbier body with a thin neck, which didn't look right. With the thin neck and double chin, I'm very happy with his body type.
Author Update: If you haven't heard, I graduated college! That gives me much more time to work on ALUW for now. But I also need to focus on other projects. For now, I hope you'll enjoy the coming reference pages of our favorite Links!
