[hero-of-courage]

I got my hair cut recently so I decided to draw da bois with different hair styles.

It is LU, but I have added some details that make them look more like their game design along with some of my own head canons. My apologies for any confusion.

[hero-of-courage]

What if each of the Links' biggest phobias/irrational fears were based upon the trauma of their predecessor?

Some of these are angsty and some ended up kinda funny.

Creepy Enemies (Disembodied Hands)

Hyrule hummed thoughtfully as he tossed a short stick into the campfire. He glanced up at the other boys seated around and asked carefully, "Are there any kinds of enemies that really creep you guys out? Just curious."

"Disembodied hands," Twilight answered quickly.

"Hey! I was gonna say that." Wind grumbled.

Legend pondered a moment before squinting at the flames and replying, "Actually... the same as them."

Hyrule raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Not fans of wallmasters huh?"

"Hands that come out of the ground are worse..." The youngest shivered.

"Oh," Twilight grimaced. "Yeah. I don't like the sound of that."

Water

"Come on, Hyrule!" Wind called across the gap. He studied the other boy's expression as Hyrule hesitantly inched closer to the edge of the dark water. "It's okay if you get wet! I have an easy way to dry off!"

"That... That's not the problem..." Hyrule replied with a shaky voice.

"What?"

"I can't swim." The brunette backed away from the edge and locked his worried gaze with Wind.

"Really?" Wind tilted his head curiously. "Why?"

"I never learned. Deep water... makes me anxious." Hyrule crouched with his palms on the ground. Magic vibrated under his skin as he readied to jump. "You might want to stand back!"

Hyrule launched himself over the divide filled with the dark abyss of water and stumbled to safety. His friend joined him at his side with a kind smile.

"Are you good?" Hyrule nodded after a moment. Wind continued,"I'll try to avoid deep water next time."

Sneaking up from behind

"Four."

A hand gripped his shoulder. Four jolted.

"AH! NAYRU!" He swung around franticly and his fist collided with the unfortunate person's stomach.

"Gah!" Warriors doubled over with a groan. "Gods! You've got a killer left hook, Smithy..."

"Captain! Ah! I'm sorry! It was his own fault. Why did you sneak up on u-me?!" Four's eye color changed rapidly before landing on grey. He breathed slowly soothing the chaotic colors in his brain. "I'm sorry, Captain. Are you alright?"

"I'll be fine..." the man ground out as he straightened his posture. He kept his hand pressed to his gut. "Everyone is turning in for the night so we should head back. You wouldn't want them to worry would you?"

The short teen marched past him. "Of course not. Let's go."

"Are you okay, Smithy?" Warriors raised a brow at the teen's unusual behavior.

"Yes I am. You just... startled me."

"If you're sure..."

Ghosts

"Can we not go into a suspicious probably haunted basement?" Warriors glared at the old rotting staircase leading into the dark.

"What's wrong, Captain? Afraid of ghosts?" Legend snarked already half way down.

"Yes actually!" Warriors growled. Ghost were dangerous. They can injure or possess people and the like. What's worse is that they aren't easily defeated by the sword. "Why aren't you?"

Legend shrugged and descended into the darkness. "Eh. They get old after a while."

Warriors stared at the inky abyss that Legend submerged into with an unsettled stomach.

"Come on, Captain! We don't have all day!"

Steeling himself, Warriors carefully crept down the creaking rickety stairs. He sucked in a sharp breath as an unnatural cold gust rushed past his ear. He shivered and at last he had reached the floor.

He scanned the dark for movement and for any glimpse of a blue cap. Finding nothing but his growing unease, he called out, "Vet? I can't see where you are!"

Legend's voice hollered back sounding painfully far away, "Keep up! Honestly, I had no idea you could get like this!"

The Captain stumbled in the direction of his friend's voice only to be yanked to a stop when his scarf tightened around his neck.

"Agh! What the hell?!" He choked out as he tugged on the fabric to loosen it.

Nearby something slammed on the floor. Warriors felt his breath leave his lungs as the sudden need to be silent paralyzed him.

The cold gust whispered in his ear once more as a creeping sensation crawled up his back. His heartbeat thundered in his chest. Too loud. Too loud. They'll hear...

Thumping footsteps echoed in the dark. They're coming...

The greeting of a warm glow of a lantern caused the terrified hylian to squint.

"Captain?" Legend called as he approached. His tone was carefully maintained as indifferent, but to those who knew the hero of legend he was poorly masking his concern.

"There's something here..." Warriors responded barely above a whisper.

Legend frowned at his uncharacteristic behavior and grabbed the man's wrist attempting to pull him along. "We're wasting time."

"Wait!" Warriors coughed and tugged on his scarf again. "I'm stuck."

At his strained voice, Legend stopped immediately and glanced behind them. The scarf was taut and lead into the darkness where the light of the lamp didn't reach. He released Warriors' wrist to examine the cloth closer.

Warriors stumbled backward, but the scarf remained strained. "Come on!" He groaned as he struggled against it. Impossibly, the scarf seemed to tug back and Warriors began to lose his footing.

Realizing too late what would happen, Legend frantically reached for his hand again. As their fingertips brushed against each other the Captain's feet slipped from underneath him.

"Legend, help!" Warriors cried out as he was yanked into the abyss.

Shrill laughter swirled around the maze of a basement and the cold gust snuffed out the glow of the lantern.

Legend cursed his luck. So much for finding the others as soon as possible.

(Giant) Spiders

"Wild. Wild! Stop walking!" Twilight's voice ahead of him caused him to glance up from his sheikah slate. To his immediate horror he was met face to face with a huge white skull which had eight spindly legs growing out from the sides.

"Ahhh! What?!" He cried as he fell back away from the monster. "What is that?!"

With a grunt, green goo sprayed the ground and the monster disappeared into a cloud of purple smoke.

"You almost walked into a Skulltula." Twilight reported as he shook the revolting goo off his sword. "You gotta be careful around them. Their bites are nasty."

"That's what the giant spider is called?" Wild shuddered as he followed the rancher further into the cave. "I thought that the largest species of spiders only grew to about the size of a dinner plate! This is so much worse!"

Twilight threw a smile over his shoulder. "I'm guessing you've never fought an armogohma before? Good for you."

"What's that? A spider the size of a guardian?" The Champion crossed his arms with a disturbed expression.

Twilight's smile grew sheepish as he seemed to regret his words.

"Eh... it's best you don't know..." He turned around and continued on into the cave.

"Wait... wait no... That means that it's even bigger!" Wild impossibly looked even more disgusted and clutched his bow like a lifeline.

Bells

Bong bong bong

Link shot up in his bed. What was he doing?! He didn't have time to be laying around like this!

Bong bong bong

He was too late! The world was ending! Everyone would perish because he had wasted so much time!

Bong bong bong

The final tolls of the bell rang out declaring his failure to the world. Where was his ocarina? He rummaged frantically through his bags.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'll fix everything," he muttered aloud.

"Time?"

A soft voice cut through his mind numbing panic like a ray of sun through a storm. He heard the sheets rustle as Sky nearly tumbled out of the other bed.

With shaking hands, Time placed his instrument back into his travel bag and set the bag down. He turned to the younger hylian as he groggily walked his way over.

"I'm alright, Sky..." he whispered to the young knight. Gently, he placed his hands on his shoulders to steady the boy. "You should go back to sleep."

"You didn't sound very alright earlier," Sky mumbled completely ignoring the second half of Time's words. He yawned. "Wha's goin' on?"

"I had a... an episode," Time decided to answer honestly yet vaguely. He steered Sky back to the bed and sat him down. "Don't worry about it. You helped me out so I really should thank you."

"Oh..." Sky blinked at him for a moment before he reached up and brushed his hand over Time's cheek.

Time froze at the action. A mere moment later he took notice of the wetness of his cheek. He had been crying in his panic then?

"Are you going to be able to sleep too?" Sky asked, turning to squint at the window. "Those bells were kinda loud for people to be ringing this... late? Early?"

Time nodded in answer. "I just need to get some water first."

Seemingly satisfied with that answer, Sky slid under the bedding and tried to get some more sleep before the morning.

With a heavy sigh, Time exited the room and closed the door with a click.

Bonus: Claustrophobia/Imprisonment

The knight of Skyloft slowly blinked away the tendrils of unconsciousness from his eyes. It was dark. Pain lanced his temples when he raised his head. He winced. His hair was matted on one side and stuck to his face. That discomfort was accompanied by the metallic scent of blood.

He groaned at the throbbing in his skull and made an effort to touch it. To his distress he found that he could not move his arm. Frantically, he glanced to his right. His arm was stretched outward and chained to the wall with no slack to grant him movement. He was suddenly very aware of the ache across his shoulders and back. A glance down at his legs revealed that he was fixed above the floor and currently incapable of moving his legs either as the were shackled to the floor not unlike his arms.

"How... how did I get here?" He wondered as he glanced about his cell. An inkling of anxiety began to grow when he noticed that all of the walls were made of dark stone and the door appeared to be a thick sheet of metal. It was impossible to know what was happening outside of the room because of the lack of windows.

The darkness seemed to curl in on him even though his eyes had adjusted to it. The air was cold and it bit at his lungs as he breathed it in. He shivered, causing the chains to clink.

"Where is everyone?" It was so quiet. His breaths sounded painfully loud to his ears. "No one's here..."

His breathing picked up and his head and heart started pounding rapidly as panic settled in. This room was too narrow. The ceiling was unnervingly low. It would crush him. He needed the sky. He needed to see the sky.

He yanked fruitlessly at the chains sending a twinge of pain up his arms. He cried out in frustration and panic before letting himself droop in exhaustion. Eyes wide yet unseeing, he breathed shaky breaths as his ears rang unbearably.

***

"The shadow is retreating!" Twilight yelled to Time over the din of the battle. "Go find him! We'll take care of the rest here!"

"Alright! Be careful!" Time answered his successor. He turned to their shortest member. "You're with me, Smithy."

"Got it!" Four confirmed and followed after.

A moment later Wild ran alongside them. "Let me come too."

Four's eyes narrowed slightly at the older boy. He sighed. "Fine. Be sure to keep your emotions in check Champion."

Wild merely grunted in reply.

Finally, they arrived at the dungeon underneath the abandoned castle. It was cold, dark and damp like a cave. Almost all the way down the hall of cells the doors were open. They carefully made their way through, wary of any traps that might presently spring.

When at last they stood before the only closed door, Four glanced about cautiously. "There weren't any traps. Strange... It's almost like the shadow wanted us to find Sky. It gave the battle up so easily... What's it's motive here?"

"It's like it's observing us, our actions, how we react to what it does." Time hypothesized as he watched Wild break open the lock on the metal door.

The door was shoved open with a shriek of metal on stone and Time heard Four gasp upon entering the room. Glancing up, he rushed forward.

"Sky! Are you alright?" Time gently lifted the young man's chin off his chest to see his face.

Sky blinked slowly but he seemed to stare straight through the hero of time with his eyes clouded. His breathing was harsh and shallow and his frame shook with each breath.

Time frowned. He glanced to the boys next to him. "Smithy, Champion, get the chains off him. I'll make sure he doesn't fall."

"Got it!" Four replied already digging out his fire and ice rods. He handed one to Wild and set to work. "Freeze the right one. Lower the temperature as much as you can then switch with me."

Time turned his focus back to the boy before him. He wrapped his arms around his torso and braced himself as he listened to the humming magic, the licking of flame and the chime of ice.

With a snap and the clanging of chains against the walls, Sky slumped into Time's embrace. He groaned. His arms and back still ached terribly.

"We'll get you out in a minute and then we'll take you back to camp to rest." Time whispered to him. Slowly, he sunk to the floor and maneuvered the boy so he could see his face. Sky's expression remained blank. "Sky? Can you hear me?"

When he was met with silence again, he reached for the boy's hand. He gave it a little squeeze and rubbed his thumb over his knuckles. To Time's relief Sky's pale, cold fingers curled around his own.

Sky fixed his gaze upon the face of the man who was cradling him. The hero of time smiled faintly in return, the corners of his lips slightly quirking up. "Hello. Are you with us now, knight of Skyloft?"

The boy in question squeezed his hand shakily, his deep blue eyes never leaving Time's face. "Please, get me out..." he pleaded breathless and quiet as a silent tear slipped down his cheek. "I can't breathe. Please..."

Time felt a sudden twinge in his heart at the boy's words and a righteous anger simmered under his skin. He held him closer and ran a hand through his crimson stained hair detangling it in an attempt to soothe the young knight. "They're almost done. Just a second. Only a second and then we're out."

Another snap rang out in the cell and Sky was scooped up and raced out of the dungeon.

When the four Links finally burst out into the forest, Sky found he could breathe deeply once more. He calmed down significantly, yet he was still unnerved by the manacles around his wrists and ankles.

Four smiled at him sympathetically, his eyes shining a rose red, when he was noticeably staring at them. "Sorry, Sky. It would've been too dangerous to remove those while we were in there. I'll take care of them when we get back to camp, okay?"

Sky nodded in response. He made an effort to ignore the metal bands; however, it was hard to when the small length of chain still attached to them clinked with every step Time took.

Turning around to face him as he continued to walk backwards, Wild piped up, "I'm sorry too, this probably wouldn't have happened if I had been watching your back."

Sky waved a hand. "It's not your fault. I should have been more vigilant. The shadow was targeting me and had me drift away from you during the battle."

"Exactly why we should prepare so it doesn't happen again," Time cut in.

Wild sighed and turned forward again before adding, "I have the Master Sword in my slate just so you know."

Sky let himself relax in Time's arms. He closed his eyes and listened to the birds chirping and the leaves rustling in the breeze. "Thank you, Champion."

The group broke into the clearing where the camp was nestled in the center. They settled down and moments later the rest of the Links joined them with smiles of relief just as the sun sank low in the sky.

I did not mean to write a whole one shot for Sky. Please, Courage try not to be so obviously biased.

Anyway~

Lege, Twi and Wind get their fear of Wallmasters, floor masters and other things from the hero of time. Who has fought those enemies plus deadhand and bongo bongo. I think Lege might also have a fear of getting lost. He loves his maps.

Hyrule gets his fear of water from Legend. YaBoi went sailing one day, caught a storm and got shipwrecked and then Link's Awakening happened and he accidentally erased everyone on koholint, including his girlfriend.

Four gets his fear of being attacked from behind from Sky. Four hasn't had the best luck when it comes to betrayal especially in the manga. And then there's Ghirahim.

Wars gets his fear of Ghosts *cough*and basements *cough* from our beloved hero of the winds. Wars was hard to decide for and I ended up basing it purely off of Wind rather than something that paralleled. The ghost ship in Phantom Hourglass is pretty creepy and so is the labyrinth under Grandma's house in Wind Waker.

Wild gets his fear of giant spiders from Twilight. This one was also difficult to decide so I did a thing similar as with Wars. Twilight Princess's Armogoma is freaking huge arachnid that you have to squash with a statue. Did you know that the boss fight could have been a chase sequence instead? There's a small clip in a TP trailer where Link is being chased through the hallways by a gargantuan spider. No thank you.

Time gets his fear of bells from Four. I'm sure most of you reading this know about the hero of time's adventure in Termina. The clock tower in the town counting down the days hours minutes till the end of the world slowly but not slow enough. The people never knowing how many times they had lived those three days over and over. Never knowing that their lives were in the hands of a child too old and too young. Four was a child too when he was tasked with saving his best friend and the world as well. He raced against time and the tolling of the bell, tearing through enemies as fast as he could to save Zelda from her soul being ripped out and being turned to stone forever.

Sky gets his fear of imprisonment and claustrophobia from Wars. Ah no. He gets it from the first hero, the knight of Hylia. At first I didn't know whether to include Sky or not but of course me not being biased at all had to (big mistake). The first hero(who I call Chosen) was imprisoned for seven years on unjust charges by his own people. Then when calamity struck they released him and had the audacity to ask for his help. He decided to help them but YaBoi needed a sandwich first and didn't get one so he died in battle.

I wrote everything above in September of last year lol. It’s also no longer spoopy season anymore but I thought y’all might enjoy this.

[hero-of-courage]

Here’s a funny mini side comic from my Wip comic series Heirs of Light and Magic!

Sho is a short king and Arbis is a tall deity.

[hero-of-courage]

Someone please write this or I will!!!!! (I’ve got a ton of wips already please don’t make me…)

or 2. sky just like woke up for the wing ceremony and hes like "am i still asleep??? uh??? this isnt skyloft??? i have school??????"

i dont know enough about the other games to do this with others but same idea-

[hero-of-courage]

This was kinda a writing exercise for me since I haven’t written anything in a while. I’m not sure how I feel about it.

I got Hyrule Warriors for Christmas and it’s been occupying my brain quite a bit. I was inspired to write a bit about what might happen after one of the characters falls after my first defeat.

He could taste iron on his tongue and feel dirt crunch between his gritted teeth. His head and heart pounded in unison sending waves of pain through his body. He blinked in vain to clear his blurred vision, but all he could see were distorted images of boots sprinting in and out of sight. He felt as if he became one with the earth absorbing every vibration, every tremor into his body.

Dust powdered over him as the shuffling of feet in combat kicked it into the air. He was lying amidst the chaos of war, yet he could hear none of it. The screeching of monsters, the cries of men, the song of steel, all were drowned out by the singular high pitch ring that pierced his brain like an arrow.

He needed to get up. He had an army to command, men to lead. Leading them he was, lying there. He was leading them to their deaths.

His fingers dug into the dirt beneath him and he willed himself to sit up and then to stand. He felt inclined to regret it. Groaning, he teetered on his feet as his head spun. He decided that he may be in need of a potion or even a fairy. He was feeling particularly dreadful.

Hands gripped his shoulders, his arms, his waist. His mind screamed at him to shake them off. He couldn't be captured! That is the exact motive behind the conquest of the enemy. He was wanted by the sorceress. The sorceress who was tearing apart space and time simply to get his soul into her possession. For what purpose he did not wish to know. If he were to be captured, the war would be lost.

It would be over.

He didn't have the strength to fight off the hands on his person. He hardly had the strength to stand. Slumping forward, he let himself be dragged. He prayed that his men had the good sense to retreat. They shouldn't have to risk their lives for his. They shouldn't have to risk their lives at all.

It would be over soon. If he was all the sorceress wanted, then the land would know peace once more... right? Could it possibly be better this way? Would their legendary hero be better a sacrificial lamb? A martyr.

Would it save more lives if the war ended in defeat?

"Captain."

"Captain Link, can you hear me?"

Link opened his eyes to be met with a white cloth ceiling. The earthy scent of herbs and mushrooms filled his nose as he breathed in.

"Captain." The voice of the medic, he assumed, prodded again.

"Hm," was his only reply. It was an acknowledgement and nothing more.

"Good," said the medic knowing well enough Link's mannerisms to understand that he was listening and awake. "The general will see you in a moment."

The rush of fabric told him that the man had exited the tent.

With a sharp exhale he pushed himself upright to have a glimpse at his injuries. A bandage was wrapped around his ribcage and he found another about his head when he reached to fix his hair. What he also discovered was the intense pain that came with raising his arms too high. Immediately his arms returned to his sides, with a hiss.

"Hey."

Link must've missed the sound of the tent flap opening, distracted by his punishment for reckless movement whilst he was healing. He turned his attention to the sheikah warrior before him who looked him up and down with a thoughtful brow. After a moment, she locked eyes with him.

"Are you alright?" She asked. His face must have betrayed his confusion because she continued with an explanation. "I'm asking if you're okay emotionally and mentally." She pointed to her chest and then her temple. "The reports I had received from your field medic and your other men were... concerning."

Link let his gaze fall to his sheets. Was he alright? He really thought he had fallen into the hands of the enemy and he was starting to think that it would have been better that way. He almost shyly met Impa's gaze once more.

"Could be better..." he answered quietly with a weighted smile.

Impa's expression only grew more concerned. Her lips pressed into a thin line and her brow furrowed.

"Your men said that you fell just after you called for a retreat. Your troops were vastly outnumbered and we hadn't anticipated..." she trailed off with a sigh. So he had called for a retreat. That was good. He grimaced at the thought of the enemy numbers. "I'm sorry, Link. Sometimes in war situations can be unpredictable, but maybe this was a misstep on my part and I could have equipped you better. It certainly wasn't your fault so don't dwell on this battle too much."

The blond soldier nodded slowly, but kept his own thoughts to himself.

"Hey, Link! Are you okay? Are you in any pain? Oh goddesses! I was so worried!" Proxi chimed as she zipped up and down, side to side examining her friend.

Link let out a light laugh at the fairy's antics. He smiled at her sweetly, but it was still weighed down.

The fairy seemed to notice since she flew close and pressed against his cheek in a comforting gesture. "Oh... Don't be hard on yourself Link. Defeat happens from time to time. The only thing that matters is that you get back up again." She backed away from his face so he could see her. "Look you made sure that everyone else would live to fight another day. They trust you and will stand with you. Now all you need to do is take care of yourself! That witch Cia can go... go die in a hole! She's not taking my best friend!"

Link turned his gaze to Impa for a moment. She bore a mild smile on her lips as she nodded with a soft hum.

"Oh! Impa! Hi! I didn't see you there!" Proxi's babbling faded from Link's ears as he entered his own mind once again.

He still wasn't sure if the path he was on was the right one, but so many have fought for him already and some have even died. Would their all efforts be in vain if he gave himself up? No. He couldn't bare to dishonor them in such a way. If he chooses to never give up, then his spirit at least will never be defeated.

[hero-of-courage]

The Skyrider saga follows the general plot of Skyward Sword. Link is a prodigy starpilot cadet at the Skycarrier’s academy. No one who lives on the Skycarrier has ever been past the edge of the aurora that surrounds them. That is until after the wing ceremony when Zelda gets whisked away by a dark unfamiliar ship. Link, desperate to bring his friend home, is guided by an ancient spirit in the ways of the force and the forgotten legendary Jedi.

I also have a SW LU crossover called Linked Galaxy, but there’s no real plot at the moment.

In Chosen Heroes, Sky I imagine isn’t big on history, but he vaguely remembers the legend of Hylia’s first hero. I have Chosen(First) tell him right off the bat who he is (with specific omissions), but I’m considering rewriting the whole thing. It’s been a while since I’ve touched CH.

Chosen sees Sky as his responsibility. He believes to have failed as a hero and Sky had to pick up the mantle. He watched him grow up and may or may not consider him as his son.

If you have more questions please feel free to ask them!

Chosen Heroes if you’re willing for the WIP game

Sure! What would you like to know? (Abt this Au and the Skyrider saga)

I’m starting to think that I need help. I have a Linked Universe Tangled Au, a Linked Universe Star Wars Au and now I have a Linked Universe BBC Merlin Au. Will I ever stop making aus? This world may never know.

[hero-of-courage]

Okay so Sky in the Linked Universe comic is depicted as soft, kind and almost lazy. Jojo once explained that the Links were given contrasting personalities. Sky is meant to contrast the others with more serious and aloof personalities such as Time and Legend especially. The reason he is the chosen Link for this role is that he has shown the most of those qualities in his game. He smiles more than anyone else, he laughs and he sleeps in random places.

Jojo has also shown that he can be a bit of a gremlin as all of the Links are, but he is the first and therefore everyone would gain some aspects of his personality. He broke a chandelier, he tossed a love letter in a toilet (I personally would have him get Pippit and Karane together), he has some of the most sassy dialogue options.

This may or may not be my own view of Sky’s depiction in Lu, but people tend to focus too much on Sky being the “kind Link”. Yes he is kind, but do you really know why he is? To me Sky is less of the nice one than he is the empathetic or compassionate one.

Skyward Sword is an emotional journey, featuring fear, desperation, love, determination, anger and grief. Sky is emotionally wise and understanding. Where he doesn’t understand he tries his best to gain it. And he cares so much. Almost too much for him to handle. Heck, he was the only Link to cry on screen! People tend to say he is the “happy one”, but in the comic I notice how much he frowns in sympathy or thought. He is saddened whenever he listens to the past hardships of his brothers and he’s not even connected the dots to Demise’s curse yet.

So Sky’s easygoing, empathetic and a touch chaotic. But why do many fanfic writers depict him with such internal struggle and have him hide them away?

Think about Impa’s role in Skyward Sword. She convinced him that he needed to prove himself strong enough to save his friend. She pulled all his anxieties and doubts to the forefront of his mind. “You were too slow. You failed. The goddess was wrong to choose you.” Those doubts have been ingrained into his mind. He promised himself that he would never be late again. He wouldn’t allow himself to rest until his quest was complete.

In Lu Fanfics, Sky often puts everyone else first, silently bearing his own pain because “I can’t slow them down. It doesn’t matter how I feel because everyone else needs to be okay first.” His self sacrifice and disregard of his own needs leads him to burnout and breakdowns.

Someone pointed out that Sky is actually the quiet one in the group. He rarely initiates conversations himself and when he does talk he never really talks about himself. He talks about those he cares about. Zelda, Fi, Groose and the other Links. He also shares necessary information on the master sword and things the others don’t know.

In a more recent update of the comic, Sky mentions that, “With an unbreakable spirit, helplessness is not something we’re accustomed to. It’s just not something we accept.” Here’s another reason to believe that Sky would push himself to the brink before even thinking about giving up or seeking help. I like to think that his willingness to go all out no matter what it would cost himself was what gave him the ability to slay a god. It also gives clarity on how the guy can turn into a total rage monster.

Sky’s determination and compassion are a double edged sword. They give him an edge in conflict, but they can be harmful to himself. He has learned to rely on and push himself to get to his goal no matter the damage dealt to himself. If he achieves his goal, it will have been worth it all.

That said, he will never lose his smile completely. Nor will his charming nature ever disappear. He will make everything okay and when he does he is truly happy. Despite his suffering he will smile, because he believes there’s a time for tears and a time for joy. He lives in the moment and searches for all the excuses to be grateful.

The hero of the skies is easygoing, mischievous, kind, empathetic, compassionate, just, selfless, hard on himself, determined, curious and full of hope.

Okay,can someone please explain me why Sky from LU fandom is always the most affectionate, kind and sleepy character. Like ,I understand that in the game he falls asleep literally after five seconds of sitting on a chair, but why is he constantly shown in fics like someone who is ready to deny his need for help from others until the very last moment, until he breaks down and either starts crying or goes into a rage.

(And yes, I understand the moment with rage, like this moment was shown in the cutscene of the tk of the game. But the other things?????)

[hero-of-courage]

Heartfelt greetings to you, fellow Sky fan!

I meant to respond to this earlier when I first saw it. I’m still not sure if your post was rhetorical?😅

If you would permit me, I would gladly explain my thoughts on how his character works in both the comic and fan fiction and how it connects to his character in game.

Hi @skyyknights ! Thanks for the tag!

Last song listened to: Awaken the Dragon by Rozen. He has amazing Zelda covers! Highly recommend!

Currently reading: erm… LU fanfics that are mainly Sky centric.

Sweet/spicy/savory: I think savory, but I do have the sweet tooth compared to my siblings.

Current obsessions: Linked Universe, Legend of Zelda, Demon Slayer, Merlin, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc… I like a lot of things okay?

Relationship status: I’m taken by Jesus Christ, but am otherwise single. XD

Last thing googled: Ganondorf fight Totk… I was struggling okay! Besides I only skimmed over the guide to see if I was missing something important. All I had to do was get good at shield bashing and flurry rushes.

Currently working on: An assortment of unpublished fanfics. Skyrider Saga (a Star Wars Skyward Sword Au), Linked Galaxy, Plummet below (LU fic involving Skyangst), an unnamed Merlin LU Au, and a cartoon Zelda fic. I’m also working on some chainmail.

Ty for the tag @onewingedsparrow !! :D

Last song listened to: currently listening to Warrior by Aurora :)

Currently reading: Well… does fanfiction count?? Also I keep meaning to start another LOTR readthrough but haven’t gotten to it yet 😭

Sweet/spicy/savory: hmm…savory. Although I am also highly partial to ice cream and slushies and whatnot…

Current obsessions: Hoo ok… LoZ/LU ofc, Narnia, LOTR, and Endeavour. Also Marvel but mainly just the Spider-Man films atm lol

Relationship status: single Pringle who is ready to mingle

Last thing I googled: “how long did all of the LOTR movies take to film,” because I saw someone on Pinterest claim that it took a single year to film all three of them and I was like “….I’m almost 100% sure that’s wrong” so I was doublechecking lol

Currently working on: the next chapter of TFLB, a Joandeavour fic, finishing my first semester of college, some watercolor, and many other fic wips 😂
