Do you feel a strange sadness as dusk falls on Midlink Week?
Let us reflect on all we’ve achieved on this quest to celebrate the ship between Midna and Link from Twilight Princess.
On February 7th, there were only 585 fics in the Midlink tag on AO3.
In just eight days, we’ve grown that to 610.
In the Midlink tag on Tumblr, there was an average of 2 posts per week.
During the event, we boosted that to over 50.
In total, we've had over 60 contributions!
Pretty impressive for a video game that came out 20 years ago and hasn’t been rereleased in a decade, wouldn’t you say?
Now is the perfect time to catch up on all the wonderful and creative works our fandom has out-put in this time! You can binge all the fics in the Midlink Week 2026 collection or scroll through all the posts we’ve reblogged, but if you’d like to browse by day/prompt, we have you covered. Here are the links to all our daily round-up posts:
Day 1 - Farewell/Reunion Day 2 - Hair/Height Difference Day 3 - Shadow/Light Day 4 - In Another Time/Alternate Universe Day 5 - Horror/Monster Day 6 - Warmth/Touch Day 7 - Shattered/Another Way Day 8 - Bonus Free Day
Be sure to reblog, comment, and follow any creatives you hope to see more from. It’s how we keep our ship alive!
If you’re behind on posting, don’t stress! You can tag us when you post so we can reblog your work onto our blog. We might also do a latecomer round-up post in a week's time to ensure no one misses it.
While this may be the end of Midlink Week 2026, it is not the end of our plans to celebrate our wonderful ship 🩵 We’ve already been planning Midlink Week 2027 in our Discord server, and we haven’t forgotten about ‘Twilight Princess’s 20th anniversary either 😉
So this isn’t goodbye...
It's just see you later, eh heh heh~!
