[kookyfox]

Soooo my phone had started to make weird sounds and I'm afraid that soon it's going to rest in peace, therefore I may post this drawing as soon as I can before losing everything (there's still two more following this with the rest of the Kokiri)

[flitsy]

Speaking of Ocarina of Time, Link arrived to the forest as a literal baby. And was given to the Deku Tree. There's no way a talking tree was able to take care of a baby for ten years. Not even a little.

So you know who that leaves having to take care of him instead? Saria and the other Kokiri. Immortal children taking care of not so immortal children.

Mido would've been annoyed at having anything to do with him at first, but of course Saria's going to ask him to help and anything for her, right? Gonna be jealous at first too. Link taking up all of Saria's time. Can't hate a baby though. Gonna be warming up to him eventually. Grumpy boss with a lil baby Link, complaining all the while, but still doing his all to take care of him.

Until he gets old enough to talk and fight back and then all bets are off. Link obviously doesn't remember anything from when he was a baby either.

Stupid, forgetful No-Fairy... Who needs him anyway? And then? Seven years after the jerk leaves the forest and never comes back? Saria leaves forever too.

Kokiri kid:

TW: Blood, splinters.

"MIDO"

Mido sighed where he sat by the entrance of the path to the Great Deku Tree. One of the triplets came running to him, Ludo, he thinks, as he could see the tiny scar on the base of his nose where a tree ranch had hit him once (he'd laughed at him, he remembered). The boy came to a stop right in front of him and panted, trying to catch his breath. Mido sat there, cross legged with his chin in his palm looking bored already, until Ludo took a breath and said "Link's hurt."

"..."

"Okay? What do you want me to do about it?"

"well, he's bleeding a lot and crying real loud and we thought maybe you can come and check him out and-"

Mido stopped him right there. "So get Saria" he said in a matter-of-fact tone, like he should know this since he's a know-it-all brother. "but she's in the lost woods again! And before you ask me to go get her, Fado and Finoa went to look for her and couldn't find her."

Mido was still unimpressed. He was no babysitter, that much was certain. And besides, why should he be responsible for that twerp anyway? But Ludo was pulling the puppy dog eyes and he couldn't resist any longer. His face twitched before he threw his head back and sighed loud enough to let the other know he was being a nuisance.

"Fine," he spat out, "go get my bag".

Ludo smiled and rushed to Mido's house.

Mido strolled extra slow to where the others were playing before, and then a little further up to where the sound of Link crying got louder.

Link, the youngest and most peculiar Kokiri of them all, was sat with his bloody knee drawn to his chest and tears flooding his face. Mido rolled his eyes. He would never understand why Saria took such a liking to this kid.

Zono and Rimo (the remaining 2 triplets) and Nelo were all surrounding Link in a poor attempt at comforting him while freaking out because, admittedly, it was quite a bad gash. Just how the hell it happened, Mido didn't even want to know.

"Quit suffocating him and go do something useful, like cleaning up all the toys you used before I take them away again."

They did as they were told, like they always did when it was just Mido and not Saria, because he's the oldest and by birth right, he was the boss (also Saria wasn't there to stop him).

He turned and looked down at Link who was still helplessly sobbing.

"Alright, alright, calm down, I'm here" he said in the driest tone he could muster.

Link immediately ceased his wailing, though the pain he was feeling still prompted him to cry, albeit softly.

Mido crouched down and gently took Link's knee into his hands and inspected it. It had bled a lot and there were a few splinters stuck here and there, but overall, he only needed some water and a bandage.

As he started to pick out the splinters, Ludo jogged up with his bag and wordlessly went to help the others clean up at his glare. It was just the two of them now.

"You need to be more careful when you're playing with the others, they're older and bigger than you, you should know that they play rougher" Mido snapped.

Link hiccuped and nodded, tears still flowing out of his eyes.

"Stop crying" Mido mumbled and brought his palm up to brush the tears off his face. He immediately relaxed and leaned into his brother.

"S-sorry" Link whispered.

Mido's face softened just a bit, his drawn eyebrows unknit themselves slightly and his frown lessened. Sometimes it took a little reminder to remember that Link was just a child, and not the 'l've been a kid longer than normal- I'm a Kokiri' type of chid, he was a 'child' child.

Link was delivered to the Great Deku Tree as a 'baby', something the Kokiri had never seen before. Actually, Mido himself happened to be the one to find the small bundle of blankets one night while in the lost woods looking for Saria and Fado. Of course he picked up this strange creature and took it to the Deku Tree because, naively, he thought the little thing was hurt, what with all the crying it was doing at the time (much like now actually). When he arrived with this tiny Kokiri-like 'thing' in his arms, the Deku Tree welcomed it as his new brother. The tree had told him that its name was 'Link' and that he should stop referring to it as an it and to stop making that face whenever its, his name is said just because it doesn't end in an 'o' or an 'a', like his and Saria's and all the others' names.

The Deku Tree also said that this 'Link' was a 'baby' (a month or two old), and that one day he would grow up and become just as tall as Mido, and then taller. He had scoffed at his father and told him that it wasn't possible.

Now, he thought, 6 years later as he wrapped up his little brother's knee in a clean bandage, that he was foolish to ever doubt his father.

Link had fallen sound asleep under Mido's care, soft breaths leaving the small boy with his back on the forest floor and his injured knee placed on the others lap. When Mido finished adjusting the bandages, he carefully lifted Link, who didn't so much as stir, and sat him in his lap. Other than the kid's busted knee, the only other injuries seemed to be a few scrapes here and there and a small bump on the side of his head. With that in mind, Mido shifted so that Link was on his back, the stood up, leaving his bag (knowing someone will pick it up and return it to its place) and made his way over to Link's house.

Once he got there, he realised his mistake. How the bloody hell would he climb the ladder to the tree house with the kid on his back?! He grumbled and kicked at the dirt.

Eventually, after a good bit of brooding and glaring up at the house, he turned away.

It was getting dark and he was starting to get tired.

-

Saria felt awful for not being there to help Link when he hurt himself. She was playing her favourite melodies to the skull kids when Finoa found her and told her of Links tumble off one of the platforms.

Although she did her best to make it out of the forest as quickly as she could, she ended up back in Kokiri forest not long after night fell.

Rimo walked up to her, his brothers both trailing behind, all three ready for bed.

"Hi Sar, you don't gotta worry about little Link no more, Mido dealt with 'im!"

She sighed and put a hand on her cheek, "that's what I was afraid of."

No matter, she knew she would be cleaning up some sort of mess.

She set off to Mido's house to hopefully find out what happened.

The walk to his house was short and she quickly made her way to the front door and knocked. When no answer came, she quietly let herself in.

She knew she had to be careful because Mido was a early sleeper and didn't take to being woken up with a start too well-

She stopped.

Mido was sleeping in his night clothes, arm draped around a tiny Link curled up ontop of him.

He had his usual pout on his face while he slept, but his head was turned towards the younger in a sort of protective manner.

Saria wished she could have kept this memory forever.

Mido had put a cushion under Links hurt leg and had changed him into clean clothes, which made her smile.

As much as she wanted to just stay there and burn every other detail into her mind, Saria knew it was time for her to go.

She shut the door with a soft click.

Can I interest y'all in some uhhhhhhhhh kokeriey?????

(pls click for better quality tumblr hates my guts)

Notes on my thought process drawing them under the cut because I love sharing my thoughts :)

Mido was the easiest to draw because he's pretty much exactly like his canon design, I only made some small tweaks. The little elements that I did add were to further emphasize the peter pan-ness of his look-- I don't know if that was intended by the developers originally designing him or not, but esp with the upwards pointy hat and the green clothes, Mido happens to already look very peter pan-y. This works for me because I feel like Mido really well showcases some of the negative aspects of peter pan as a character (the story itself is a whole other industrial size oil barrel of worms) ie his immaturity and selfishness, so I enjoyed leaning into that reference a little. Either way he's the pure embodiment of 'little shithead' and I enjoy him very much actually.

Fado was also pretty easy to put together, I sort of melded some elements from Wind Waker Fado because (tosses Fado at you) woe transgender kokiri be upon ye. This version of Fado has yet to gender-trans tho, that's kind of something that's just brewing for now. I'm having a lot of fun with them in the rewrite as a very deadpan, monotone and blunt kind of character. The thing that I ended up messing with the most was actually their hair colour. All the Kokiri in the game have blond hair and blue eyes (except Saria who has green hair and blue eyes) and I thought that was cringe so Fado is the only one in this lineup who still has blue eyes, but I made them very icy and piercing in a sort of "imm shaking im so scared please put some brown contacts on her" sort of way (slash ref)

Saria's a sweet little muffin cutie patootie precious cabbage roll sweet potato pie. I made her the shortest of this lineup, but her and Link are actually very close in height. Overall her design is also pretty much the same, but I changed up the colours all a bit bc a) Kokiri diversity reasons and b) oh god so much green help help me she was so so green oh my god it's so saturated and intense aaahhhhh. So as a whole I made her whole colour palette darker and slightly less saturated, and her hair is still green but a much darker forest-y green. Plus I made her shorts longer because she's a kid who plays in the woods all day she should have more suitable outdoor shorts.

Oh yeah and they all have pockets now. if there's one thing I know for sure about Kids Who Play Outside is they're always putting shit in their pockets. Pebbles and sticks and leaves and worms and stuff. Biohazard pockets as far as the eye can see
