Bumblebee is still quite young, but as far as he can currently tell he’s not a part of the lgbt community. He’s here to support everyone anyways.

Name: Prince Link Hyrule

Alias(es): Bumblebee

Nickname(s): Bumble, Bee, Prince, Princling, Little Prince, Mage, Magling, Little Mage

Birthday: (I am currently working on a calendar system for this AU, so this will come later.)

Age When Introduced: 12

Pronouns: He/him

Height: 4'1

Source/Game(s): The Hero of Men mentioned in Minish Cap

Sexuality: He has no clue.

Favorite Color(s): Bumblebee loves the color blue. The same color as his favorite coat and the color of the sky, where many of his Picori friends came from.

Disliked Color(s): He doesn't like grey much, he's not sure why. It just kinda bores him.

Skills: Bumblebee has a sword, and a bow, and technically he can use them. He's just not good at them. He's much better with his magic and he often uses them to channel his magic instead of using them for their own purpose. He is also really good at sneaking in and out of his home castle. And causing a distraction, as needed.

Outfit/Design Notes: Bumblebee's coat ends up becoming the basis of the Hylian Shield's design in the future, a testament to how much he influences his Hyrule in the years to come. He does have his crown on him, but he rarely wears it. Especially not when out on the road. He knows it's a good way to get jumped (he learned that early on in his adventure).

His bow is the same Sacred Bow that Dove uses, having been passed down in the family until it reached him. It's old, but still works well. And the sword he wields isn't technically the Picori Blade. It is a close replica though, made for him by his woodland picori friends.

The reference picture here is OLD and incorrect. Bumblebee is a close descendant to the zonai since he is a direct descendant of King Raruu on his mother's side. The gear is correct and he still has bright blond hair, but his hair goes down to his shoulders and is often hanging loose or in a ponytail. His skin is a greenish color and he has two grey stripes on each of his cheeks. His feet are also slightly more animal-like than hylian and his face is slightly elongated as well. His fingers also have slight claws at the end instead of hylian-like nails.

Other: It has been about a year since he managed to seal away the monsters that attacked Hyrule.

Bumblebee is the second child of the royal family of his time, coming behind his older brother in the succession. He has no sister. For some reason the royal family magic (known in his time as the Light Force) skipped both his mother and his brother, instead showing up in him.

A Hero's Choice: Bumblebee

Link was going to get in trouble for this. He knew he was. But....he couldn't just leave that thing how it was. Early that morning a report had come in about a strange phenomenon that had appeared in the woods not far from the castle. Naturally, having something off that close to the castle was concerning so Link’s father had gone with the guards to check it out. Link’s aptitude in magic meant he got to go too, leaving his mother and older brother behind to run things (not that this was much different than normal, considering they were Queen and Heir Apparent).

The source of concern was immediately obvious upon arriving at the edge of the small clearing the guards led them to. There was a…well. Link wasn’t sure exactly what it was. But it looked like a part of the air was twisting in on itself. Tearing even. And the magic coming from it felt…wrong. But Link couldn’t get anything more from it. Mostly because his father didn’t allow him to get any closer than the edge of the clearing. Instead, he had to stand there and watch as his father and the guards circled around and inspected it. As best as they were able to tell the strange thing wasn’t dangerous, but when one guard stuck his spear into it the spear didn’t come out the other side. Thought it did come back when he pulled it back. Thankfully.

After about an hour of looking the thing over Link’s father decided that they should return home. They left a group of six guards to monitor the clearing and made their way back. Link’s mother was curious to hear about what they found, but in the end, she didn’t have any ideas about what it was either.

All in all, the spent nearly the entire day muddling around and figured out next to nothing. And no matter how many times he asked, no one would allow Link to get closer to the strange tear to better check it out. He was twelve, so it wasn’t like he could do anything about it right? Never mind the fact that he was the one with magic. Or the fact that he’d saved their whole country a year ago. Nooo. None of that mattered because he was ‘just a child.’ 

But there was something he could do. He could feel it deep in his bones, in his blood, and in the magic that sang in his soul. And if he’d had any doubts before then the dream that hit him when he tried to sleep just now got rid of them.
