this is how the boys found First link (who turned into a marketable plushie for whatever reason)

[tuxedoelf]

I needed this today lol

[lemonheadart]

I am late to the party... but uh, look, First's here

[laris-art]

Happy Varka release day!

I wish everyone the best of luck with their Varka pulls! The past few banners left me very broke but he was nice enough to come home (with his weapon)! :D

[strawberry-carpcake-deactivated]

I am so hype that first is confirmed to be in lu bro

[lemonheadart]

could u do First???

also I love your art style it's amazing

The way it physically hurts to draw this man because I remember master smith by maple the awesome and sit there like

Aaaanyways, thank you and I hope you like this sketch

First's official introduction into LU has *revived* me. I know it's a far-off scene, but just knowing there will be more of him brings back the hype. I really want to see how he interacts with the others, especially Warriors and Sky.

[homuleelee]

ultimately, the "first hero link versus lu sky and lu warriors" debate is really silly because i think first link would get along with the BOTH of them. warriors and first link have BOTH fought in a war and led an army, so they'd be able to sympathize and share their experiences with one another...and first link shares the same fondness for freedom, loftwings, and flying that lu sky does

and warriors is not THAT vain of a person to dislike first link for... looks at notes. also wearing a cape?

[tuxedoelf]

Absolutely all of this.

[leeleesart]

welcome aboard, first hero link!!

[tuxedoelf]

Perfection, absolute perfection.

[wishyoudwell]

finally. a cape battle of the century

Ok one more thought before I try to sleep. That comic hits so hard with First for a particular reason, cause like— if Jojo sticks with the imprisonment thing from the manga with First, dude was locked up in a dungeon for I think three years. He did not believe himself a worthy hero. He says his honor is tarnished. His adventure did not start out in a good way, and was full of war and bloodshed.

But Hyrule. Hyrule had a hard adventure(s) too. But he can see the wonder in it still. And he brings that wonder of adventure with him, that joy of discovery and excitement of exploration, and I dearly hope their conversation we got to see today is First maybe getting to learn that adventure doesn’t have to be a bad thing. That there can be beauty in it, and joy.

I just think they’ll have a lot to learn from each other

[tuxedoelf]

Love this.

[linkeduniverse]

What a milestone—40 years of adventuring.

This special is from a scene much further in the LU comic. It felt like a fitting way to reflect on the journey that started it all. What an impression it left, as we still feel that sense of adventure all these years later.

[luna-loveboop]

New link in Lu wow! That's a First

[tuxedoelf]

10/10 pun no notes

Something else for a change?

FANFIC FOUND!

I'm going to pretend that everybody knows what I was looking for yesterday. This is the fanfic in question!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

The reason why this one was hard to find was because it was written back when tagging LU fics was like the wild west, so it didn't have Character (Linked Universe) tags.

[tuxedoelf]

I wondered why I was suddenly getting kudos on this again 😂 I'll go fix the tags now the right ones exist! Thanks to all who read ❤️ Something special about people remembering older fics :)
