The Stonewalls

The Stonewall family, to whom Link is related to, can be traced back a solid 8 generations. Originally, Stonewall was a term for soldiers who had cast off their family name (either by choice or by force) and sent to live at the stone wall that protected Hyrule’s borders from incoming ships. As such, there used to be a certain amount of shame attached to the name, as though it were a sign to all who knew that you had been discarded.

However, as generations passed, the stone wall became a reputable military stronghold, known for superior soldiers and even the occasional acclaimed war hero. It stopped accepting castaways at this time, now too valuable to risk to unknown wanderers, and the remaining Stonewalls quickly rose to positions of leadership and power in the guard, becoming all manner of Captains and Commanders and Knights and so forth.

That said, especially within military ranks, the name Stonewall has never quite shaken its origins completely and recruits from “superior” lineages are known to cast judgement for it.

Link’s father, Sir Carik, was a decent solider in his time—he made it to knighthood, after all—but Link never got to see his father serve the kingdom. Before Link was born, Sir Carik’s back and right shoulder became permanently injured in battle. While he wasn’t paralyzed, it did mean that his fighting days were over, as he could no longer swing a sword, let alone participate in battle.

He received an honorable discharge and it was during this time that he met and fell in love with the woman who would become his wife and mother to his children. Thina was a farm girl of brown skin and long, thick black hair that was often messily pinned up. When Carik and her married, she moved off of her parents farm in Hateno but stayed in town in a little house across the bridge. She was the main caretaker of Link and his sister, providing them education on how to cook, read, write, and of course, take care of a farm. Both of her children were very close to her, though as her first born, Link had a special place in her heart.

It was Carik, however, who taught Link to fight, though the two could never spar. Carik did not believe in self-made excuses and would push his son past every limit. Though he was strict, Carik was also a loving and playful father.

Link’s mother, father, and sister were alive when the Calamity struck. Though they waited for Link to return home after the war came to a standstill, he never did. His mother was said to have died from a broken heart. His father lived into old age, and his sister grew to marry and have children of her own.

#Thinking of Link!

Some Hylia thoughts~

I’ve mentioned before that in the blogs lore, the Sheikah basically result from the mercenaries Hylia takes vengeance on/later brings into her own after they kill one of her followers (alluding to their skill later on as shadow assassins)

But I was thinking more on it, particularly with the concept of Sheikah being akin to children for Hylia from @mightiestbanana, and reading Circe definitely brought some ideas to the surface.

So new, not-official lore I’m considering—the Sheikah did come from that group of mercenaries, yes, but there’s more to it than that. Long before Hylia meets the Hero, she finds herself entangled with one of these mercenary humans who bends the knee to her.

She has three children with him, demigods whom she keeps hidden from the gaze of Demise. The Sheikah are decedents of these children, carrying with them those striking red eyes and white hair that resulted from such a union. This means that all Sheikah have a drop of Godhood in them 😌

I’m so tired I could sleep for one hundred years.

#Ooc #because Link is on this blog #GET IT??? 🤣#For real I am so tired #My head is woozy and I can barely piece together thoughts #Seriously considering heading home a little early #But my inner Zelda could never lmao

"You know what rhymes with Link? STINK. Bet that’s not a coincidence!" Blows a raspberry and turns around to smack his butt at Link.

An arrow flies through the air and grazes one barely contained red-leathered cheek.

The ice of his blue eyes said all that his lips did not.

I missed on purpose. Next time, I won’t.

#I am the WILD (fanart)

I was made to be tested and twisted I was made to be broken and beat I was made by His hand, it's all part of His plan That I stand on my own two feet And you know me, my will is eternal And you know me, you've met me before Face-to-face with a beast, I will rise from the east And I'll settle on the ocean floor

And I go by many names also Some people know me as "hope" Some people know me as the voice that you hear When you loosen the noose on the rope And you know how I know that I'll prosper? 'Cause I stand here beside you today I have stood in the flames that cremated my brain And I didn't once flinch or shake

So cower at the man I've become, when I sing from the top of my lungs That I won't retire, I'll stand in your fire, inspire the weak to be strong And when I am gone, I will rise in the music that I left behind Ferocious, persistent, immortal like you, we're a coin with two different sides

The title hazy still as he shake his head “I don’t even know who you are?! I barely even know my name!”

"What?"

There is venom in that snap, the spirit narrowing their eyes with a look of anger so potent once might still think they were alive.

"Are you joking? If so, it is lacking in both tact and humor."

What color is your love?

Orange; love as a home

You are the laughter bouncing off the walls of your friends apartment. Loving you is like loving a lifelong best friend. You naturally put people at ease, the warm summer breeze that sweeps through the screen door and carries the scent of freshly cut grass, heat, and a summer BBQ. Love is laughter, love is your medicine.

What are you in your purest form?

Pre-Amnesia

Color

you laugh and dance and sing and it’s all so much. everything is weighing you down, but you refuse to sink. you will elevate yourself, you will ascend in places where the others cry and fall to their knees. your pain is what makes you flourish, even if you don’t see it. you will never break.

Post-Amnesia

A child’s laugh

Your voice carries a melody. a secret. you are pure. you know pain. you look it in the face and smile. nothing you do will stop it. you will embrace it, let it change you. there’s nothing else you can do. you’re just a kid.

The air of Hyrule smelled different, crisper, somehow carrying the faint scent of ancient forests and rain-soaked stone. It was nothing like the heavy, smoky winds of the Fire Nation or the salty breezes that had buffeted his ship as he crossed into this beautiful land. Standing atop a worn stone terrace overlooking what remained of Hyrule Castle’s village, Zuko felt the weight of his own world pulling at him. A heavy sense of duty that even the journey across worlds could not shed. He adjusted the red and gold mantle draped across his shoulders, feeling oddly out of place among the crumbling monuments and newly built scaffolding. This was a land healing from scars not unlike his own and yet the wounds here ran deep into the very bones of the earth.

Zuko’s gaze shifted as @fragmentedlegends approached, the knight they called Link. Young but there was an unmistakable hardness to him, a quiet strength Zuko recognized instantly. It was the same look he had worn, once, after the war had ended and the world had demanded everything of him. “You’re Link,” Zuko said. He bowed in respect, a habit born of hard-earned humility. "I’ve heard stories about you... about the battle you fought here. It seems we have more in common than I first realized." He paused, his amber eyes steady. "I didn’t come here to offer more promises or alliances sealed with empty words. I came because I know what it’s like to rebuild a broken nation... and because I think we can help each other."

Link hadn’t been sure what to expect.

He wondered if he had ever served as an escort for an envoy before, prior to the century war. Maybe. Possibly?

Well…well, it didn’t matter much what he had or had not done in a life long dead and forgotten, did it?

Link was there long before the ships arrival. He cooked a lunch for himself, Tofu, and Calypso; a dark, sweet mare borrowed for their new guest. Tofu seemed to get along with her quite well, and Link mused on the idea of offering to purchase her when all was said and done. Two horses was a lot to care for, though, and the Princess already had her own steed, and they were so often traveling these days, and…

And it didn’t really matter.

Focus.

He felt oddly nervous as the ship came into its dock and found himself setting his lips in a hard, neutral line (muscles remember what the mind does not) before making his way up where their guest would first step foot on Hyrule land.

It was a massive thing, all dark metal and bold red, nothing like the trading ships of soft brown wood that Link was used to. His fingers flexed, itching to curl around the handle of his sword, but calmed themselves just the same.

Ok. Time to be an escort.

Link had pictured someone older, with a rounder belly and maybe a beard—someone like the late king, he guessed—but the Prince who stepped off the ship didn’t seem that much older than himself. They shared the same round cheeks of their youth, but the signs of a life roughly lived were there; the sharp depth to the eyes, the scar across his face, the way he moved with a warriors stride.

Young, like him, but not naive.

That was a luxury warriors couldn’t afford. Even with a crown. Link listened to him, hands resting on his belt, and nodded once. Twice. A pause, and then a third, final time.

A broken nation…supposed that’s what Hyrule had come to be, when one looked at it from that angle. But not for long.

“I hope we can, Your Highness,” Link agreed, and with a smile, added, “Welcome to Hyrule.”

Turning on his heel, Link motioned the man to follow him. “Princess Zelda is expecting you in Kakariko Village. It’s not too far from here by horse—“

He stopped suddenly, halted by a rather unfortunate thought.

“Do you ride horses, Prince Zuko?”
