Five Nerds In A Trench Coat

An ask blog for the Four Links! And Shadow, of course.

[ask-the-links-n-shadow]

Hello! We’re the four Links, and we’re back for another adventure!! Something seems to be afoot in the Dark World. But oh! You’re probably wondering how we’re still split, 4 years later? Well, when we went to out the Four Sword back, it fused back into one, sealing Ganon away, but it left us still separated.

Bit weird, but we don’t plan on fixing it any time soon. We’re not sure becoming one Link again is even possible, so we’ve made due with life as is.

You’re probably also wondering where Shadow Link is, and well…we are too, but none of us have been able to find them. At least, that’s what I, Red, who is writing this, knows.

I also know..s that Vio is up to something, but I’ve not been able to figure out what she’s up to.

But anyway, yeah!! Feel free to ask us some questions, we’re all eager to answer them, when we’re not busy of course.

The poll results are in!! A cape and bandages won! Someone in tags suggested to give him Roc’s cape and I heccin loved that idea. From now on Blue will look like this in all asks!

Quick! Blue has an emergency! Ok not really, but he just finds the tunic, hat, and tights combo a little boring, and wants a little change. (And also, I want to make the Links all look more distinct, and thought this dress up poll was a fun idea. I’ll be picking the top two winning items. The poll ends in a week)

Cape

No hat

Longer tunic

Embroider something (may come with bonus comic)

Cut your hair 👀

Gloves

Bandages for the aesthetic

Hair clip (specify which kind)

Chain mail

More belts

Some bits of armour

Put your own ideas in tags!

Poor darlings You're all marred up, however did you get those scars. They're pretty sick if you ask me. Scars tell a story!

Slight warning for blood!

Green: I think our scars are cool, though Vio and Red sort of disagree. Blue told me to piss off when I asked him further :(

(Transcript under the cut <3)

Green: most of these happened on our adventure 4 years ago. We were just 14 at the time and incredibly arrogant. *laughs*

Green: The one on my lip is from possessed armour I fought in a pyramid when we got separated.

Green: I also have one on my arm from a duel with Vio!

Green narrating: Red’s is from a fire rod accident, she said a thief kid was messing with her and it blew up in her face. Ouch!

GN: Blue says a ghost bit him on the face. Somehow. I don’t believe him, but I do know the one on his cheek is from a trainee poking him with a spear that broke.

GN: And Vio…doesn’t talk about their scars. I have reason to believe they’re from Shadow Link, which would explain Vi’s silence on them. (Whispering: Vio’s right eye has also gone white!)
