[Image Description: An 9 panel legend of zelda au comic “Merged Shadows” mostly in grayscale. Panel 1: In the wind waker ‘storybook’ art style, the four sword links hold up their swords, each colored with their associated Minish Cap Element symbol over their heads. (Green-Wind, Red-Fire, Blue-Water, Violet-Earth) The background is patterned like sun rays. Panel 2: A triangular panel with jagged and swirling patterns around it frames the Four Sword in it’s pedestal in the Four Sword Sanctuary. Narration text around the imagery reads “So, the Four Heroes defeated the Great Evil, and the Four Sword was sealed way. Preventing Darkness from threatening the Kingdom of Hyrule again.” Panel 3: The panel turns to grayscale. Zelda and Costa sit on a bed. Zelda sits up straight, wide eyed and attentive, while Costa leans his head against her shoulder, asleep. In black text, the narrator continues “They say the Sanctuary’s entry is hidden by Hyrule Castle’s grounds.” Zelda asks, her text pink, “You think so?” Panel 4: The King sits on a chair, smiling fondly. He wears a cape and crown, and has a big fluffy beard. His text is black, saying “Oh most likely” Panel 5: The King, seen from behind, stands up, saying “We’ve put Costa to sleep. I suppose it’s bedtime.” Zelda lifts her arm and leans away from Costa with a mischievous grin, saying “Hey! you’re heavy.” (”hey” is hand written and slated, and “heavy” is underlined) Costa falls onto her lap with a “hmmhnn”, brows furrowed and curled up. Panel 6: The King watches amused, with an eyebrow quirked, as Zelda “Thwack” smacks Costa offscreen, who shouts, in purple text “OW Zelda!” Panel 7: Zelda stands up, hands on her hips, eyes closed as she says “You won’t ever learn ‘everything’ if you sleep through stories” Costa sits up on the bed, one eye closed as he pouts looking at Zelda. He rubs the back of his head with a “nmg” Panel 8: The King has a hand on the door, looking back, “Heh, Goodnight kids” (”night” is underlined in emphasis.) Panel 9: “Goodnight Papa!” both of them say, the text both pink and purple. Zelda waves, cheerily. Costa sits and smiles. End ID]

[Image description: an 8-panel line art comic from the Merged Shadows LoZ AU. Panel 1: An ask by @blurbry reading "I vote they find a tool, what if something bad happens! It's always best to come prepared before jumping into any situation!" is attributed to Costa, who appeals to Zelda. Zelda looks unconvinced. Panel 2: Zelda touches the window. The window hums "twoom". Costa is annoyed, growling "Zelda!" Zelda says "you touched one first." Panel 3: The window glows, forcing them to look away and cover their eyes. Panel 4: A hand grabs Zelda's wrist from out of a portal made by the window. Panel 5: Zelda is pulled into the portal, panicked, she shouts "Costa!" Costa struggles to grab her other arm to pull her back. Panel 6: A close-up of Costa's face, eyes wide and worried. He repeats "No no no" while Zelda slips further into the portal. Panel 7: Costa hits the window with a "bang". He stares in silence, indicated by a set of ellipsis. Panel 8: Costa kneels in front of the window which now has a stained glass design of the four swords and Vaati. In the shadow of the window reflection on the ground behind Costa, a tall figure with a staff holds Zelda's shadow's arm in one hand. End ID]

[Image Description: a 6 panel lineart legend of zelda au comic “Merged Shadows” Panel 1: Costa, in profile stands next to the doorway hands behind his back, brows furrowed. His shadow looks forward. “Maybe it’s the shadow of the trees?” Costa suggests Panel 2: Zelda grabs Costa’s wrist and pulls him along, “No it’s not! Look I found something!” Zelda says, focused ahead. Costa looks mildly annoyed, mouth scrunched up. Panel 3: Costa and Zelda stand in front of a window with a strange almost key-hole like pattern. Zelda says “Do you see this window?” Panel 4: Costa reaches up to the window Panel 5: Costa jumps back into Zelda as the window erupts with light with a “shing”. Zelda and Costa both look at it in surprise. Panel 6: Zelda and Costa’s shadows are cast over a now normal looking window. Zelda asks “What was that? What do we do now?!” End ID]

[Image Description: An 13 panel legend of zelda au comic “Merged Shadows” mostly in grayscale. Panel 1: Zelda is seen from behind, her hands in front of her. Her dialogue bubble is three ellipses. Panel 2: Zelda looks over her shoulder, looking concerned. Her eye is colored brown. “Costa... Can I ask something weird?” Panel 3: Costa leans forward, expression dubious, “What Kind of weird?” Panel 4: Zelda pushes her hand against Costa’s face, annoyed, “Oh don’t get your knickers in a twist. It’s nothing that will get us in trouble.” Costa flails an arm, an exclamation mark over his head. Panel 5: Costa flops on the bed, arms outstretched, face in the blankets. His hand twitches exaggeratedly. Zelda leans over him, an eyebrow lightly quirked “Drama king” she says “I just.” Panel 6: Zelda continues “Do you ever see the shadows move on their own in the twilight?” The panel shows Zelda from behind in a hallway in front of a doorway, where a shadow is projected on the wall. The shadow’s outline is vague but doesn’t match Zelda. Panel 7: Costa leans up on his elbows from where he’s lying on the bed. He looks confused, squinting slightly, expression scrunched. “The shadows? No?” He says. Panel 8: He sits up straight, concerned, “Are you alright?” Panel 9: Zelda smiles, eyes closed, hands clasped in front of her. “Ha! Yeah. I guess it’s just my over active imagination, again.” Panel 10: Costa sighs, leaned forward, eyes closed, resigned. Panel 11: Zelda looks off to the side pensively, head tilted away from Costa. Costa stands up behind Zelda, gesturing with one hand, looking up and to the side “It’s probably tricks of the light.” Panel 12: Costa places a hand on Zelda’s shoulder, one hand pointing in a ‘thinking’ gesture. Zelda looks back towards him, surprised. “BUT” Costa says (the text is handwritten), “as the scientific sibling, I’m obligated to investigate.” Panel 13: Zelda hugs Costa, arms over his shoulders. Costa leans back slightly, wide eyed and grimacing. “Oh Thank you Costa!” Zelda says. Costa exclaims “Ack. This isn’t a hug, it’s a Headlock!” (”oh” and “ack” are handwritten and “Headlock” is underlined and italicized in emphasis) End ID]

[GIF description: a pixel art ‘character select’ style animation. Zelda, Jay, Newt, Fin and Costa are all standing in a blank background in grayscale. A arrow highlights either Zelda or Costa one at a time and they fade into color. When highlighted, Zelda does a curtsy or bow. Costa, when highlighted, straightens up, hands behind his back, then falls asleep with ‘z’s floating beside his head, snapping awake before he falls over. End ID]
