I like the idea that the chain are at least a little careful about doing any weird timeline things when interacting with each other so it doesn’t impact the timeline, like Twilight not telling Time about the Hero’s shade, or Hyrule not telling Legend how the decline started just in case he tries to prevent it from happening in the first place. Tiny stuff that will only have a slight impact, if any? Sure, can’t be that bad. Stuff that could completely change people’s decision making process? Absolutely not, do not talk about it, banned from speaking for a week if you break the rule.
But I love the idea that the Chain will occasionally screw around with each other. Complete misinformation is spread around the group, and nobody knows what to think. Four will tell Wind about wars that never actually happened between countries that never existed. Twilight will mention something about a famous general (who he never met) just to make Warriors think that this legendary general once ate twelve frogs and a slug on a bet. Sky will make a joke about “the thirteen key peoples of Hyrule” and you’ll see the rest of the chain finger counting as slow horror dawns on their faces.

Because @mobthoughts your hype over them is contagious and I have been contaminated (<- very positive)
Backstory
When he was 10, Silent and his parents were strolling through the natlanian wilderness when they stumbled upon an abyssal rift from which corrupted monsters were pouring. Silent's parents told him to run while they tried to distract the monsters, but they didn't last long. They were slain as Silent was thrown to the ground, throat lacerated by cold, sharp claws.
He was saved in extremis by another boy around his age, who killed the monsters in record time with a shimmering silver sword incrusted with rubies. The boy, noticing the state Silent was in, crouched by his side as his hands started to glow. Silent's throat was stitched back together without a scar, although he permanently lost the ability to speak. Then the mysterious boy vanished as quickly as he arrived.
Since Silent and his parents were travelers, he didn't belong to any tribe. He was found curled up on the ground, catatonic, by a man from the Masters of the Night-Wind. This man, Lueberry, a blacksmith, took him in and raised him as his son, although he really was raised by the whole tribe.
Since Silent's parents were killed, he swore to protect others from suffering the same fate and is now the most skilled swordsman of the tribe at only 16 years old.
Echo is the chief's daughter from the tribe of the Children of Echoes. Her aunt is Impa (yes, the Impas are all called Impa and they're all different people), the sister of Lueberry.
When Echo was ten, she saved a monetoo from a pack of angry saurians, aka she threw snacks at the beasts to settle them. Monetoos are like little fairies that guide you to treasure ⬇️
But this monetoo didn't guide Echo to a treasure chest after being rescued; it guided her to a hidden cave with walls covered in glowing runes. In the middle was an altar where an ancient polearm was stuck in stone (kinda like Excalibur) : the Tri Spear.
The monetoo decided to stay by Echo's side afterwards, so she named it Tri in honor of the polearm and they became inseperable.
Silent and Echo's adventure
Silent and Echo met during a fighting tournament between tribes. They were introduced to each other by Lueberry and Impa, just before they fought against each other in the tournament. Silent won, but he offered Echo to teach her swordsmanship afterwards, and in exchange, she offered to teach him how to use a polearm. They quickly became best friends and the best fighter duo in Natlan.
Since the abyss is very present in Natlan, they were no stranger to facing abyssal monsters and rifts. They took commissions all across Natlan to take care of the abyss.
One day, they took a comission issued anonymously that led them to a very remote location. On site, there were huge abyssal rifts and the place was crawling with corrupted monsters. It was a little weird since such big threats were usually handled by the pyro archon herself, but the pair was confident they could take on the monsters.
And they were right, to an extent. They were capable of handling the monsters, at least until a Ganon Shadow suddenly appeared out of a rift.
They were taken by surprise. Silent got trapped in a crystal-like abyssal net, Echo narrowly avoiding the same fate. In trying to get him out of the crystal and battling against the shadow, she noticed her spear getting hotter and hotter in her hands. It wasn't until she shot a wave of flames at the shadow that she noticed the new glowing pyro vision incrusted on her glove.
While Echo fought against the Ganon Shadow, Silent tried to free himself by hacking away at his prison with his sword and bashing it with his shield. With the wave of fire Echo unleashed on the monster, the crystal finally broke and Silent was freed...
...just in time to see a rift opening up beneath Echo's feet. He pushed her out of the way, falling into the rift in her place. The Ganon Shadow, strangely, stopped attacking Echo and jumped right after him. Echo didn't miss a beat and went after them, but Tri didn't have the time to follow her; the rift closed, and the monetoo was the only living thing left in sight.
Later, when a group of heroes stumble into Natlan, Tri will wait at the border for them and guide them to the empty plain with the traces of abyssal energy, and Tri will save its friends Echo and Silent.
But for now, the two young fighters are still unaccounted for, still lost in the abyss, where time passes strangely and no light ever reaches.
Concept art
Silent's official art ⬇️
He's so babygirl
Also yes the sword does look like the sword from Phantom Hourglass because of the colours. This was not intentional but I don't wanna change the colours now that it's done so this is what we get
Silent and Echo's designs ⬇️
Echo's hair is a mix between her bun from the Wisdomverse and her ponytail from EoW
Yes Silent has three piercings on each ear. The reason? It looks good
Since she's a chief's daughter, Echo has way more details and a way more colourful palette than Silent
They both have the traditional natlanese face and body tattoos. Silent's tattoos are concentrated on the lower half of his face and on his hands and forearms, to express his muteness and the fact that he communicates with his hands using sign language
They have shared custody of Silent's cape
Echo in battle ⬇️
With her pyro vision, she can create fiery copies of herself, animals or monsters to aid her in battle
And that's all I have for these two!! I hope I did your blorbos justice, Mob ;))

Thou Shall Find Thyself: The Journey Home - Chapter 17
Fic Summary: The Hero of Warriors just wanted to reunite with his brothers, but after stepping through a portal that should have led him back home, he ended up finding another Hero of Warriors. After battling several infected monsters, the pair are still on their journey to Castletown, where they hope to find a way to finally get home. Written by myself and @catreginae
Chapter Summary:
War opened his eyes slowly and blinked up at the ceiling. He felt like absolute shit, he immediately closed his eyes again in hopes the nausea would go away, but of course it didn’t. There were voices talking somewhere nearby but he didn’t have the energy to focus on it. His whole body was sore and he just wanted to go back to sleep. But he felt like he couldn’t so he forced himself to open his eyes again and let out an annoyed groan.
“I know, I’m sorry,” someone sighed, “but the juice will help. Promise. And if you drink your juice maybe you can go sit out in the sun.”
“…Are you bribing me with sunshine?” he mumbled, frowning at the blurry figure above him.
Whoever it was laughed. “If you drink your damn juice then yeah, I am.”
It was hard to remember exactly what had happened next. He did drink his juice, he was pretty sure, because he was outside laying on the ground in the sun and it was probably the nicest thing that’d ever happened to him. He could faintly remember there had been a chair at some point, but laying on the ground was nice and he wasn’t complaining. Though he felt… weird. In a way he couldn’t quite describe or figure out yet. It was like something was missing, and that immediately made him assume maybe something was wrong, but it didn’t feel wrong.
“Warriors said you would like it out in the sun. It's pretty nice, huh?” somebody new beside him asked. “Warriors is in the inn taking a nap though.”
War cracked an eye open in alarm, unaware someone was so close, and he was immediately blinded by the sun. “Huh?”
Hyrule smiled and waved at him. “You want some juice? Or maybe a snack?” he asked.
He blinked at him slowly as he tried to process what he was saying, and then he nodded. He felt awful, and eating would probably help. “Yes, please.”
He should have known! He should have known it was too good to be true! He should have known—
“Legend, hon, is what’s wrong?”
Legend sniffs, barely able to turn his head to look at where Malon is emerging from the side of the ranch house. She had been carrying a basket, but it’s left forgotten on the ground in favor of running at him and gathering him up in warm, strong arms. There are gentle hands searching him and, when they find nothing out of place, moving the hair out of his face so he can look at her.
She’s so worried—and it’s his fault.
From How To Trust by @the-au-collector
I love love love Malon & Legend fics and this one always just hits me so hard 😭♥️ So lovely.
I lowk forgot if the others know abt the colours or not yet, but for the sake of this headcanon they don’t:
//After the whole thing with four, the colours and Wild. And them all reconciling. Four was glad that Wild promised not to tell the others, since it was Four’s secret to tell. However if they (I like the idea that Four uses he/they though leans more to they/them, but when split the colours are he/him) need to split before that time comes, then Wild will help them go unnoticed. Ex. Them both going scavenging (with each other as backup since Time wouldn’t want anyone wandering around alone) so that Four can split.
