Okay for those who don’t look at the blog and just see the IQs or random drabbles
You might be wondering who exactly Rinku is
He’s this guy

And the whole reason I made this blog (hence the lines; And You Thought Nine Heroes Together Were Bad; What about ten?)
More Under the Cut
The Linked Universe I write is an AU where Wild has a twin, which is Rinku.
He’s ex captain of the Royal Guard (since there is no Royal Guard anymore) and wields half of the Master Sword (how? The blade split in two when the twins drew it together. Does it make sense? Nope, but I don’t care)
Info on Rinku
Name: Rinku
Age: 20 (120) (BoTW)/ 25(125) (TotK)
Birthday: October 30th
Gender: Genderfluid (He/Him/They/Them/She/Her) He/Him Days are Rinku, They/Them Days are Raine and She/Her days are Rin
Hero Title: Hero of Souls
Rank: Ex Captain of the Royal Guard
Weapons: Half of the Master Sword, Royal Guard’s Sword, Royal Guard’s Bow, Royal Guard’s Shield, a twin pair of daggers
Normal outfit: Hylian Tunic (dyed purple), Hylian Trousers, Hylian Hood
Formal outfit: Royal Guard Set (his hair is braided when wearing it)
After falling unconscious after a defensive battle against the Yiga in Kakariko Village, Rinku was put into a stasis room similar to the Shrine of Resurrection. Unlike his twin, he retains his memories from 100 years ago, but for the most part keeps quiet about them unless asked by Link (Wild) himself.
Rinku is able to speak, but never raises his voice above a whisper unless in combat. He prefers to sign, finding it easier to get the words out when he does. However as time travels on, he’s working on raising his voice with those he’s comfortable with.
He’s unsure what to think about the other eight heroes of the past, but one of them has certainly caught his attention.

The one who lost his arm
The two got pulled away from the Chain and yeeted back after, for them it had been five years, for the Chain, about two months
Sky: You have Crayons?
Four: Yes, I have—
Sky: You're— how old are you?
Four: YES I AM AN ADULT AND I HAVE CRAYONS, I HAVE A BOX OF EMERGENCY CRAYONS IN THE CABINET UNDER THE TV BECAUSE EVERYBODY NEEDS CRAYONS SOMETIMES, OKAY? EVERYBODY NEEDS CRAYONS.
Wild: Tomorrow’s the Cooking Contest. Warriors always tells me one thing every year. He says, “You might win if you’d stop eating your entry!” But how would I know whether it’s an award-winning dish without tasting it first? This may be a problem humanity will have to grapple with for eternity…
Rinku: Do you ever wonder why you're still single?
Wild, eating mayonnaise straight out of the jar with a spoon: Yeah... I mean, I'm perfect! Who wouldn't want to date me?
Rinku, sighing: I can name a few people...
Red: Who wants to go out of the country on a road trip?
Wild: Yea, I could drink legally!
Sky: I could hang out with the boys!
Vio: I could hide from the consequences of my actions.
Sky, gesturing to Time: Green, look what you did! You made Mom upset!
Twilight: Mom, please don’t cry, we’re sorry!
Green: I’m sorry Mom... :(
Time, near tears: I DON’T REMEMBER GIVING BIRTH TO ANY OF YOU!
