SO.......... I've been thinking about an original Zelda story lately
I haven't talked about it at all yet, but these yhree have been on my mind consistently enough for me to have to draw them
More info under the cut!!
The (hypothetical) game takes place in the downfall timeline, some time after Adventure of Link. Enough time has passed for villages to have expanded and new ones to be built!
But one day the ground shakes, parts of the earth disappear, new parts taking their place - like someone mixed together three different jigsaw puzzles and is forcing them together into one picture.
Now it's up to Link to find the source of the sudden merge of worlds and realities and restore order to Hyrule - with the help of his fairy companion and Zelda's guidance.
Some more about the characters!
Link
18 years old
Has a cleft lip!
Loser from Old Saria Town - a fisher village, yet he can't fish
His boss tried to find some use for him, but all he's seemingly good for is catching crawfish - and colds
The towns people look down on him
He lives with his aunt, the only person who supports him
His parents died on sea, he's afraid of the sea because of it
He ties flies! Not to use as bait though, just for fun and for the pretty art!
Very shy, still has to find his courage
Scared of Zelda tbh
Honorary lad name is Kalimba
Zelda
In her 60s probably?? Maybe older
She knows a lot more than she's telling anyone
The whole story may or may not be all calculated by her already
Very hard to impress
Direct descendant of Zelda I! Either daughter or granddaughter, couldn't decide yet
She takes her role very seriously
Doesn't dress too fancy - people respect her so much she could probably be in her pajamas and they'd still listen to her
She's mastered the art of communication through looks and glares
Intimidating aura
Doubts Link heavily at first
Puzzle
Little fairy companion!!! What? The name sounds familiar?? Must be a coincidence...
He's been working together with Zelda for a little while before teaming up with Link
Gets half of his knowledge from Zelda
In the (hypothetical) game his sound effects would be flute or recorder notes
Cheerful little thing - thoroughly enjoys zipping around
As is tradition for fairy companions, he nests in Link's hair or hat
Not a shred of doubt in his desision to pick Link - he has full faith in him
May or may not be the spirit of a previous hero........
That's all I'll share today!! I'm open to questions if y'all have any :]
I don't have a title for this yet, so I'm open to suggestions as well 👉👈
Thanks for reading this far!! I hope you enjoyed! :]]]
hello again it’s me >:3 this is for the character questions you reblogged!
For Grasshopper:
- do they have scars? what caused them? [<noticed your design for him has scars and I’m curious if you have like. a Specific cause]
- how do they cry? heaving? silently? sobbing?
- what is their humour like?
For anyone (your choice!):
- what are their guilty pleasures?
- what is something they’ve never told anyone?
love heros-shade-fanclub
@heros-shade-fanclub
HELLO IT ONLY TOOK 30 YEARS FOR ME TO GET TO THIS
Let's see if I can format this in a neat way
Grassy's humor just boils down to malicious compliance, he things it's peak comedy
As far as crying goes - it's gut wrenching enough for every healing fairy in the area comes flying to try and help him ;[ (but there's only one fairy in the whole world that can make him feel better)
Apple is secretly really nosy!! He likes to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, public soap opera. Now it's not like he seeks these situations out, he just also doesn't avoid them... Call it a happy accident :]
Wolfie's biggest secret is his wolf form of course! That's the only secret I could reveal without spoilers hehe
Also doubles as a guilty pleasure! He likes to transform to shut off his thoughts and relax - but then the guilt sets in....
And finally - Grasshopper's scars! under the cut :]
(CW: eye injury and blood!)
Let's just say he's not the most careful little guy out there... To avoid ending up like him just follow this handy dandy guide
Don't be like him - stay in the woods and listen to your fairies, kids
Link and the Links is my Links Meet AU I'm working on a comic for!
There were some design and art style changes I wanted to document and share. I hope you all like it!
Like last time there's more info below if you're interested!
(please do NOT tag as LU/Linked Universe!)
The Plot
The Links find themselves in a mysterious forest that seems somewhat familiar to all of them yet none of them know where they are. Forced to work together in order to get home, they'll discover a thing or two about each other and grow closer!
The Cast
A little introduction to the lads! I'll probably post individual refs/intros at some point and go into more detail there, but for now here's this!
I'm including age, height, how long it's been since their latest adventure ended, and a little blurb about them
Birdie (Skyward Sword)
18
160 cm (5'3)
Roughly 6 hours after defeating Demise
The start of it all. Unbeknownst to himself and the others, the space they find themselves in was created out of his desire to meet the heroes that came after him. He feels terribly guilty about the curse and very much blames himself for the possible suffering of future heroes. His main goal is to check up on everyone and help where he can!
Grasshopper (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask)
10
125 cm (4'1)
4 days after leaving Termina
Somewhat disoriented after his journey still, he tags along simply because he thinks Birdie is an idiot who would get lost without him. He doesn't like to talk a lot, or communicate with the others at all to be honest. Hopefully he'll warm up to them at some point
Seagull (Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass)
13
145 cm (4'7)
6 months after leaving the domain for the ocean King
He's a real genuine pirate, yarr!! Or so he'd like you to believe. He talks a great deal about his strength and bravery, but really is just afraid and terribly homesick most of the time. He wants to fit in with Tetra's and her crew's toughness so much he might go a little overboard on the act in a way that may or may not end up biting him in the butt.
Choo (Spirit Tracks)
14
151 cm (4'9)
6 months after peace returned to new Hyrule
He wouldn't call himself a hero, in fact he'd say it's a miracle he made it out alive. Self-esteem and confidence really aren't his strong suits, he often finds himself dragged along and unable to say no. He is very friendly however, and if you just give him a little space he might even open up to you.
Wolfie (Twilight Princess)
21
175 cm (5'7)
4 years after defeating Ganondorf
Left Ordon after intrusive thoughts convinced him he was a danger to his village, now works at Telma's bar as a waiter in exchange for a room. He's responsible well liked, though he's not too fond of himself. He has some complicated feelings about the whole turning into a wolf thing
Apple (A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Link's Awakening)
20
164 cm (5'4)
Just a few seconds after Koholint disappeared
He's a kind and soft spoken, weirdly wise sort of guy and near instantly becomes the heart of the team. With a tendency to push his own feelings aside he prefers to take care of everyone else's.
Wallflower (A Link Between Worlds)
19
158 cm (5'2)
4 years after wishing upon the triforce with Zelda
Bitter doesn't even begin to describe this uh.. pleasant fella. After being bossed around for the better part of his life he doesn't take orders from anybody and is this close to quitting his job as a blacksmith. He hates being stuck here, he hates these strange people, really there's not much he doesn't hate. But that can't be all there is to him...
Puzzle (The Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link)
18
150 cm (4'9)
1,5 years after waking Zelda II
Confused, disoriented, but still happy to help and ready for adventure. Though some of the others don't really like him around he's still just as friendly to everyone. Since he struggles to communicate he tends to stay quiet. He appears to be simple minded on first glance, but he'll prove to be a valuable member of the team.
Sprout (Minish Cap)
23
139 cm (4'5)
13 years after defeating Vaati
After his grandfather died he retreated into his house and dedicated himself to improving his blacksmithing skills to live up to his grandfather's name, he was quickly forgotten by his community and faded into obscurity. Now he may be the best blacksmith in Hyrule, so good that even the royal guard hires him, but among the general castletown population he's nothing more than a forest cryptid. He only leaves the house when he has to, carefully avoiding people. Not because they disgust him, he just has a major case of social anxiety!
Squire (Breath of the Wild)
14
147 cm (4'8)
3 years pre calamity
This absolute rascal couldn't be happier about his current circumstances. These unknown woods are his playground and all of these weirdos are his friends now! Though everyone's pretty sure he's a knight trainee, he insists that he's just a stable hand for the guard. His chaotic and carefree nature surprisingly doesn't get in the way of things as he's eager to help out wherever he can, seeing the whole journey as an impromptu camping trip.
Some funfacts :]
Most of them are neurodivergent in some way!
Birdie and Seagull have ADHD, Grasshopper and Choo are autistic, Squire gets the combo platter AuDHD and Wolfie has OCD
Additionally, Birdie has auditory processing disorder and dyscalculia, and Squire has dyslexia
A few of them also have speech disorders
Choo stutters and Puzzle has cluttering speech disorder
Apple has a weak voice, so after a while his voice gets tired and gets hoarse
Choo enjoys drawings and cartography, two skills that will be very important!
One of Seagull's hobbies is photography! He takes his pictobox everywhere
Wolfie also does entertainment at the bar from time to time! He sings or does card tricks
Sprout knows HSL (hylian sign language) because his grandfather was deaf
Seagull's piratey way of talking is 100% for show and painfully inconsistent
Wolfie speaks in a thick southern (in universe ordonian) accent but he's trying hard to mask it since he moved to castletown
Wallflower absolutely hates Puzzle
Squire's special interest is horses
Birdie is a bit of a doormat so he has the ideas but Wolfie is the one to actually get them through
A number of them are blood related (has nothing to do with the colours of their names in this post, I had to reuse some because there weren't enough orz)
All the fanarts/doodles I ever made of Puzzle, @fruitysoupy 's lad from their AU Link and the Links ! (LatL) From oldest to most recent... hopefully I didn't forget any xD
He is tloz/z2 aol Link !
... I am insane about him xD he's the cutest ever... please go check Soupy's AU and designs !! They all look amazing!
They looked at him in their midst, some with concern, some with distain.
My grandfather couldn't help admire the boy's dedication. Wearing a uniform several sizes too big for him and a training sword the size of his body he even bested the captain.
A fake screenshot based on the backstory I wrote for my AU hero of the wild, Squire :]
Say hello to my lads! They're going to be in a comic I've been scripting and planning for about a year now I think? I'm calling it Link and the Links, latl for short!
More info under the cut :]

The Plot
The Links find themselves in a mysterious forest that seems somewhat familiar to all of them yet none of them know where they are. Now they have to work together to find their way home. On the way they'll discover a thing or two about each other and grow closer!
The Cast
I could talk about these guys for hours, but to keep it digestible I'll make it short
A bit of info before I get into it - all of them are taken from different points in time after the end of their adventure(s)!

Just a few seconds after Koholint disappeared
From one dream right into the next (sorta?) he's understandably disoriented at first. He pushes that aside pretty much immediately though, much more interested in getting to know everyone. He's a kind and soft spoken, weirdly wise sort of guy and near instantly becomes the heart of the team

Salut ! Je vais donc à présent traduire ce fancomic en français. Je débute encore dans ce domaine, alors n'hésitez pas à me faire remarquer si je fais des erreurs ! En attendant, bonne lecture ^^
Petite précision concernant la traduction du surnom que Zelda donne à Link, "mon oisillon". En anglais, elle le surnomme affectueusement "Songbird", littéralement "oiseau chanteur". J'ai donc adapté ça comme j'ai pu, et je me suis dit que mon oisillon ne rendait pas trop mal en français donc... voilà
