Decided to update Ghirahim's design. For Linked History he is the sword the hero uses in MM. His final form is the Great Fairy Sword but has the powered up form of the Double Helix sword.
Initially the Double Helix sword can only be used when Shade (The hero in MM) uses the Fierce Deity Mask. Later, when partnered with Ravio, they are able to use the Double Helix sword but it puts a massive drain on Ravio's magic and so it's more an ability only used as a last resort.
It’s Hyrule Warriors anniversary! And for that, I drew four(4) different HW Links from different Links Meet AUs. Here they are as well as some rambling about them:
Linked History - Captain @linked-history: I wish I could draw his sash, I think it’s a neat change up from the usual scarf.
Links Connected - Ages @linksconnected: He looks so cute I am going to explode 💥 the hair clip makes him look extra cute
Linked Through the Centuries - Warriors @linked-through-the-centuries: He is the guy ever. Also had the most amount of references on my page trying to draw him lamo, it was fun.
Uncanon Fates - Captain War @uncanon-fates: It’s my AU, mah ha ha! I actually haven’t made a ref for him yet, just a little doodle which I made that blog’s pfp. So his design is subject to some change! I swear I’ll make a ref for him someday…
Was originally planning on finishing more before I posted, so far I only have the pieces of Four done as well as 4 others but for awhile I've been planning an LOZ Nier crossover and then when I got into Linked Universe by @jojo56830 I switched from just LOZ to LU and now that I have my own AU I decided to just go crazy with it and make a massive LoZ/Nier crossover. Specifically Nier Automata. I currently have a list of the Links from: @linkeduniverse, @lozriftsintime, and my AU @linked-history.
I'd love to add more Link Meets AUs to this massive idea but haven't gotten too far in it. If you have any Links Meet AUs that you'd like me to attempt please let me know.
I may make some specific references for each design and go into other specifics like the designations I gave the Links and my thoughts behind my choices.
Design notes under the cut.
For Four I tried to make them each look unique while still looking like a cohesive group as Jojo does in LU. For this I gave them all the half jacket like garments that are the top most layer.
I also stepped away from using the black palette that the anbroids in Nier Automata are known to wear as with all the Links that I plan to include I wanted to avoid them becoming a large black mass should I decide to draw any of them in a large group. One or two together would've been fine but it I drew any more then 4 together I wanted it to be clear where each was.
I will explain the designations/labels that I picked for each one if/when I do their solo references because I don't want to add too much for this first post.
Well, that might seem like a simple question, because I JUST introduced her yesterday. But did I really? You see, older fans of Linked (from before the name Linked even came about!) will recognize Kori as a revived remnant of a bygone era.
This is what she looked like originally! Steno and Igneo were originally conceptualized as parallel universe equivalents to Doodles and Aeira. Kori used to be an adoptive daughter of Steno but was ultimately scrapped as a whole due to me generally not being that interested in her, with the parallel universe thing going along with her.
I hope that you can enjoy Kori in her new, revitalized form!
Designs for the three Oracles for the AU. Following with my trend of ignoring much of the canon these three are also Twili and will meet Ravio.
For their names I did not want to stick with their "Hylian" names and tried my best to give them Twili names that are close to their originals.
Also I decided to give Fayora her own region to be the Oracle of so following the trend of the other two being named after something Ithorea is based on History
