More Legend Headcanons
Legend grew up with a terrible lisp, like so bad he couldn't be understood. He'd try to talk to people, but his uncle would need to translate for him so he could be understood. When his uncle passed, he took to not speaking because, well, who would understand him anyways?
When he learned Hylian Sign Language, it was the first time he was understood by a lot of people. It made him feel good to be understood after so much confusion. So he took to learning how to sign in all the other languages so that the communication barrier could be broken.
It wasn't until Marin came along did he start speaking again, and she helped him speak coherently. He was actually really proud when Tarin understood what he was saying the first time he said it.
So from then on, he's been working on his speech until he meets the chain, which is when he's at his "speaking high". He didn't want to tell them about the fact he has a lisp, or to have them find out, so he listened to them and mimicked a lot of what they said and how they said it until he had a mix of a royal, country, pirate, and even some of Wild's accent. (Wild has a bit of a lisp too it doesn't care about it).
It's not until the first time he gets sick around them do they find out about his lisp, and boy is it hard to understand what the poor thing is saying.
"'on' tok ee!"
"...What did he say?"
"Oh! He said 'dont touch me'! Aryll used to talk kinda like that when she was little-r!"
And Legend is thoroughly embarrassed while the others are embracing it and learning to understand his lisp until they can hold a conversation with him while he's sick or sad or whatever the case may be.
