Hollow Knight Linked Universe AU! I've finally finished it!

If you don't know much about Hollow Knight, a lot of the technicalities might not make sense, and I would encourage you to look into the game. Or you could just enjoy the chain as bugs and see them off on their buggy adventures!

I've made this AU trying to keep as close as I can to Hollow Knight's story, but some creative liberties were of course taken.

My main idea is that the infection is the equivalent to Dark Link's (who does exist in this) infected monsters and it's up to them to try and slow/stop the infection. My first thought was to have the infection start to spread outside of Hallownest, and the chain needs to go and stop it, but I'm still going back and forth on it.

I'm still open to changing concepts if I find something that works better, but after literal months of working on this on and off I'm happy with how this has turned out!

Rambling about character details below!

Small note: I've set this AU at roughly the start of the infection, when Radiance was starting to take over Hallownest.

Time

Is not from Hallownest. He traveled to Hallownest from a distant land, where he met Malon and settled down with her.

He encountered Radiance upon entering Hallownest, but was protected by a god that had already laid claim to him, Fierce Deity, who protects him from the Radiance's infection.

He and Malon live in the Howling Cliffs.

His wing and antenna injury are from Radiance when she tried to infect him.

He is not able to fly because of the injury, and now fights with a heavy nail.

His wings used to be green, but after encountering the Fierce Deity, they slowly started to change in color until they were blue.

I'm not sure if I would do anything with the eyes on his wings, I was trying to make a connection to Majora in that, but I'm still debating whether to add it.

Twilight

Is a part of the Traitor Mantis tribe that lives in the Queen's Garden.

He met a Sibling (Midna) that escaped from the Abyss. They gave him the ability to harness Void.

Still working on the detail for how exactly they give him this ability, but my rough idea is that perhaps both of them were attacked by and infected villager, and they saved him by giving up their Void essence.

He's grown up wanting to be infected by the Radiance. He was taught the Radiance was a god that gave bugs great strength, but after seeing what the infection really does, he starts to have second thoughts.

The cloak he is wearing is new. The one he wore before was damaged. I'm still debating on when exactly he gets it, but I think it's something he makes after he leaves the traitor village.

Warriors

He is the head knight of the Hive and oversees whoever enters their territory.

His scarf is a gift from the princess of the Hive given to him when he leaves to join the group.

Since he is a bee, he is connected to the Hive via the hivemind. He uses this to check in on his home whenever he can.

This also makes it very dangerous if he gets infected, since it would quickly spread to the other bee's.

I kept his nail the same as Hive Knight's, but it's open to change.

Four

(I'm still very iffy on Four's story concept, but here's what I have so far)

Lives in Green Path.

He has a passion for weapon smithing, and planned on moving to the capital of Hallownest (City of Tears).

But he accidently stumbled on a weak Unn, and agreed to help protect her while she recovered.

When she did recover, she blessed him with a power that allows him to split into 4 parts of himself using his SOUL.

He can split while in the physical world, but will always be split while in the Dream realm. This also makes it difficult for Radiance to infect him.

Wind

Lives in the Kingdom's Edge and works as a guide across the acid lakes. Most of the travelers are those who are seeking to fight in the Colosseum of Fools.

This is how he found the Colosseum, and regularly attends (but not participate in) some of the fights, which is how he meets Tetra.

He is just learning to fly, but is picking it up really fast.

I wanted to keep the lobster apart of his design... But there are no lobsters in Hollow Knight... Then I remembered this was an AU and I can do what I want with it. So lets just pretend that Lobsters are seen as these awesome ancient beings that he wishes to see one day.

Wild

He was a guardian of the Beast's Den before he became infected, leaving the Den to reside somewhere in Deep Nest.

He is cured by the Dream Nail when the group meets him, and the last to join.

His shell is cracked and damaged because of the infection. The cracks have healed over time, but will never go away.

He has trouble with his memory due to being infected for so long before being cured. He is slowly regaining his memory, but there are still a lot of pieces missing.

His infection spread through to his arm, but is hidden under his cloak.

He uses his nails almost as throwing needles.

Legend

Is a shop owner in Hallownest's capital. He sells all kinds of items from all across Hallownest, small things he's found that could be valuable.

He's managed to make his way into the upper class of the capital due to his shop. His cloak is a modified version of the upper-class wardrobe. He dyed and added the hood himself.

Has a great sense of exploration, and has been all over Hallownest, but still has some places he needs to check off.

His jewelry are all gifts from Ravio.

My original concept for his design was to give him 4 arms. I was thinking of the Collector when designing him, and thought it fit. But after working on finalizing the design, I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it. I still love the concept though.

Hyrule

(Again, I don't have a clear story concept for him but I have some notes)

Lives in the Ancient Basin.

Has learned how to use SOUL, and is in hiding from the residents of the Soul Sanctum because of it.

He has access to spells and is able to heal himself using SOUL.

I originally gave him a cloak, but couldn't decide if he looked better with or without it. So he does have it, but only sometimes.

Sky

Is the wielder of the Dream Nail, which can be used to cure infected bugs by purging the Radiance from their dream's.

Has wanted to learn to fight with a nail since he was little, and would practice his skills.

He learned about the Dream Nail after some of the moth tribe became infected. He left shortly after he learned this infection was spreading through Hallownest, with the goal of stopping it.

He isn't the only one that can use the Dream Nail, but is the one dubbed the "owner" of it.

And that's what I've got!

I didn't go much into Dark Link here, but would be happy to show some concepts I have for him as well if anybody is curious. I'm making him almost like a living version of the Radiance's infection, and is able to spread it from bug to bug without needing to access their dreams. This is mainly why I'm torn on having them leave Hallownest. If Dark Link could spread the infection to farther lands, or to keep him inside Hallownest and just spread it faster there.

I thought that using the Dream Nail was a good equivalent to the Master Sword here, so I just mashed them together, and a lot of the motivations for the chain trying to stop the infection is "I'm seeing this awful thing happen to these bugs that I don't want to see happen to others," with some small variations here and there.

I've been working on this for so long, I just want to share by bug boys. I would love to gush and ramble about them some more. I have stuff I want to do with this AU.

Here’s the last of the scars!

Twilight is obviously the absolute thickest of the boys. He’s short and dense as FRICK, with well defined muscles everywhere. But dw, he’s very soft. He’s more careless than the others so he has a lot more scars here and there.

Four is young so he doesn’t have any built up muscles. Very small. He keeps his scar from his father hidden.

Windy is a super lanky and skinny kid, he struggles building up muscles. Important to note that the injuries he got from bellumbeck before Oshus sent him and tetra back scarred up instead of remaining there.

Spirit is a stocky kid. He’s the youngest but he’s built. Genetics man. He’s the only one besides age and Wild who has very extreme injuries.

Age and Wild both have more wider hips since Link seems to have that in game. They both had violent encounters with guardians that cover any other scars. Wild has more freedom to do what he wants and I image him being more built like a gymnast so he has abs.

And warriors has a pretty big shoulders to waist ratio, and is a very toned man. He has a lot of scars here and there that he doesn’t blink at. Dark Link stabbed him in the hand btw.

#gosh I SWEAR if Warriors’s head looks too small just like time I’m gonna EXPLODE #PLEASE YOU JERKS WORK WITH ME #link between links #legend of zelda au #zelda au #legend of zelda #lbl twilight #lbl twi #lbl four #lbl windy #lbl spirit #lbl age #Lbl Wild #lbl wars #lbl warriors #four looks a bit rounder but it makes some sense #he’s well fed

Headcannon

When a princess of Hyrule is born, their first name is automatically Zelda, however their middle name will be unique to them. When either a) they ascend the throne or b) there are no other living female members of the Hyrulean royal family, they will take on Zelda as their name. Otherwise they will be known by their middle name.

Some middle name headcannons (I haven’t figured out names for all of them yet):

Skyward Sword - Zelda Hyrule, since she’s the first

Ocarina of Time - Zelda Lyra Hyrule aka Sheik, since they use a lyre and bc OoT heavily features music

Wind Waker - Zelda Tetra Hyrule, nuff said (also I think her mom never got around to telling her her actual first name, which is why she doesn’t find out until in-game)

Spirit Tracks - Zelda Anima Hyrule, since “anima” means spirit in Latin (6 years of Latin coming in handy :D)

Twilight Princess - Zelda Tenebra Hyrule, since “tenebris” means darkness in Latin

Link Between Worlds - Zelda Hilda Hyrule, bc *parallels* (Hilda’s full name is Hilda Zelda Lorule coincidentally)

Hyrule Warriors - Zelda Atalanta Hyrule, after the Greek mythological figure Atalanta (because Atalanta has myths around running and in HW you run around maps a lot but also bc they’re both bad*ss)

Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom - Zelda Diantha Hyrule, since according to the Internet, “Diantha” means divine flower in Greek, which fits with her Silent Princess motif

Diantha’s Mother - Zelda Aquila Hyrule, since “aquila” means eagle in Latin, which is why she and Urbosa call Diantha “Little Bird”

10,000 years before Breath of the Wild - Zelda Mirae Hyrule, since “mirae” means future in Korean (bc obviously I’m gonna flaunt being bilingual from childhood), which goes with the futuristic Sheikah tech that originated from that time period (side note: I headcannon she’s Sonia’s granddaughter and she worked with the Sheikah to recreate Zonai tech after seeing malice beginning to leak out of dehydrated Ganondorf)

Sonia - Zelda Sonia Hyrule, self-explanatory (side note: I like to think that Hyrule fell into ruin sometime after the end of more traditional Zelda games and Sonia and Rauru reestablished the kingdom, and this new Hyrule is the one from BotW and TotK)

Hi new fic

https://archiveofourown.org/works/52017334/chapters/131545159

Summary:

“Twilight is that a cat?” the Champion asked loudly, and Twilight cringed as the argument stopped, everyone staring over at where Wind was sitting primly on his unhurt shoulder.

“Ah... right. Guess the cat’s out of the bag,” he mumbled.

Wind twitched his whiskers.

———

Wind has a run in with Twilight’s necklace. He does not appreciate this, especially since turning back proves to be... difficult.

At least he has claws.

...

Read the fic on ao3, or read it here under the cut :)

Wind came tumbling out of the portal with a shout, rolling down the hill he’d suddenly found himself on for several paces before he managed to stop his frantic descent.

Ow.

He spat a mouthful of grass out when he finally stopped moving, and looked around at where he’d ended up, noting the seabirds flying above his head with a spark of excitement. Maybe he was back home? Maybe he’d get to see Grandma and Aryll and Tetra and everyone again?!

Wind continued to look around, but his excitement faded as he noted the high cliffs and significant amount of land around.

Probably not his.

A sigh escaped him as he looked to his side, and he jumped a little, scrambling backwards from the cliff he suddenly realized he was sitting next to.

Yikes, glad I didn’t roll a few feet further, he thought with a gulp, taking note of the steep drop and rough ocean below. Even if he fell and managed to slow his descent, there didn’t appear to be anywhere to climb up out of the water.

A screech caught his attention, and Wind was abruptly reminded of the reason he’d fallen through the portal in the first place.

He and the other heroes had been in the middle of a battle when a portal had appeared, the dark lizalfos sneering at them before escaping through. Despite Warriors telling them all to stay away from it, Wind had ended up fighting closer, then been knocked through by moblin’s club.

Leaving him here, alone on a cliff with monsters charging towards him.

He scrambled to his feet as several bokoblins and a sizable group of miniblins ran towards him, and he grabbed the phantom sword, which had fortunately come with him.

Wind leveled his blade as the first monster lunged at him, and with a small flourish, he jumped around it and watched as it’s momentum took it straight over the cliff.

That guy obviously wasn’t black-blooded, he thought with a snort, listening to its squeals as it fell.

A distant splash came from below, and the other monsters howled in anger, Wind wiping some dirt from his cheek with a grin.

“Thought you could just shove me off, huh?” he smirked, leveling his blade. “You’ll have to do better than that, ye scurvy dogs!”

The monsters jabbered angrily and charged him all at once, but Wind easily knocked them backwards with a spin attack. He worked on maneuvering himself away from the cliff while he fought, trying to take out as many monsters as he could and not be flung over the edge, and made fairly steady progress.

Their numbers began to thin the longer Wind fought against them, and he only had a small gash on his arm and a few cuts to show for it. His injuries weren’t slowing him down at all as he continued to fight the monsters, and Wind felt a familiar sort of confidence pump through his veins the more of them he eradicated.

Wind even managed to knock a couple more monsters off the cliff nearby, though unfortunately none of the ones that had black blood dripping from cuts.

Those were the ones giving him the most trouble, dodging his thrusts and avoiding his attempts to outsmart them. Wind panted a little as he swiped away two miniblins, and looked around at the monsters. There were only a few left, all infected he was sure, based on the intelligent gleam in their dark eyes.

Well they’re not getting the better of me, black blood or not!

He twirled his sword and grinned at the monsters, but then a loud shout rang out from nearby.

Wind whirled around to see Twilight fly out of the portal, blood on his shoulder.

The rancher hit the ground with a grunt and began tumbling down the hill, much in the same way as Wind had done earlier. Twilight was a lot bigger than Wind though, and the sailor abruptly realized his momentum would likely send him right over the cliff, just like the earlier bokoblin.

Oh no, not on my watch!

Wind took out one of the bokoblins that was flagging, and grabbed in his pouch for his hookshot. Executing a backflip towards a nearby tree, he aimed at where Twilight was rolling, and fired.

He was too far away to use anything else to grab his fellow hero, and hoped he’d aimed well enough not to hurt Twilight too much.

The chain shot outwards as Wind fired, soaring straight for Twilight’s already-bloody shoulder, his pelt and a few other items having come lose in his fall. But the rancher had seen him fire the chain, and right as Wind thought either the hook would gouge right into him or he’d go flying over the cliff, Twilight reached out a hand and snatched the chain.

A relieved sigh escaped Wind’s lips, but as the slack caught up to him he nearly fell over, grunting with effort as he called on the strength of his power bracelets. Maybe Twilight needed to lay off Wild’s desserts, he weighed a ton.

A bokoblin’s screech reminded him he wasn’t alone, and Wind growled in annoyance. He gathered his strength and gave the chain a sharp heave, looping it around a nearby tree branch before turning to block a strike from one of the monsters.

It snarled, more ferocious of a sound than Wind was used to hearing from their species as it swiped at him with its sword, and he suddenly realized the other monsters had disappeared.

He looked around in suspicion as he fought against the bokoblin, wondering if maybe the monsters hadn’t been quite as smart as he’d thought.

Had they just... fallen off the cliff?

Twilight shouted nearby and Wind turned to see that no, the monsters had not fallen off the cliff, but rather taken advantage of Twilight’s somewhat vulnerable state. One of the bokoblins had jumped on Twilight’s back while the remaining miniblins jabbed at his legs with their pitchforks, leaving him weighed down and outnumbered.

Not to mention getting closer to the cliff again.

Wind frowned determinedly, and managed to stab the bokoblin that was bothering him through the middle, sending it to the dirt. As it exploded into dust, he ran towards Twilight, who was struggling to remove the bokoblin from his back while also keeping away the other monsters with his injured shoulder.

The rancher succeeded in kicking back a few that weren’t clinging to his neck, and Wind viciously swiped at them, sending multiple miniblins off the cliff with squealing cries. The other monsters made use of the distraction and a few of them split off, grabbing Twilight’s pelt with mischievous cackles.

Wind growled in frustration, unsure of whether to go after Twilight’s stuff or help Twilight himself, but then the rancher threw the bokoblin that was on his back off himself, and into the sea below.

Wind decided he was doing fine, and charged towards the miniblins, who squealed as they saw him approach. He cut down the one that had grabbed Twilight’s pelt, then ran after two others that had something gripped in their little claws.

As Wind swung at the miniblins, one of them wound it’s arm back and threw something into the air before Wind’s sword struck it, and Wind realized it was Twilight’s necklace.

It went flying right for the cliff, and Wind bolted, throwing himself forwards and just barely managing to snag the cord before it was lost forever in the ocean below. He let out a relieved phew, looking down at the waves. The immediate area had finally gone silent, and there wasn’t a monster in sight when Wind glanced back at Twilight to check.

He grinned to himself, and got to his knees. That was a close one, but both of them, and Twilight’s stuff, were safe.

And they’d won the battle!

Wind held the severed cord up to look at the strange little pendant, orange lines glowing in the faint sunshine.

It was a weird necklace, all spiky and glowing, and something about it felt... off. But Twilight always said he didn’t really like magic, so it must just be a cool rock or something.

Wind got to his feet, still admiring the strange necklace, then set it in his palm to take back to Twilight.

“Sailor no!”

The warning came mere seconds too late.

The moment the pendant touched Wind’s skin, a wave of intense pain shot through him, and he yelped in surprise as he fell back to the ground, black flecking in his vision.

Twilight shouted nearby and Wind tried to reply, but something in his very being seemed to twist, making a response impossible.

Magic flowed through him and around him, bones shifted inside of him, inside out and upside down as another cry was ripped from his throat that didn’t sound right at all and the world suddenly felt like it was falling away—

Darkness overcame him and he knew no more.

(...)

Wind came back to himself slowly.

Loud noises echoed around him, sharp but fuzzy at the same time, and his dizzied brain couldn’t really focus on them when he tried. Especially due to the deep ache that seemed to have settled in every single bone in his body, weighing him down.

Wind tried to raise his head, but the ache increased sharply, and he let it fall with a wince.

A groan escaped him, but the sound that came out of his mouth was not what he expected at all: a strange grumble that didn’t sound even remotely hylian, with a squeaky note to it.

That came from me?

Something cold settled into Wind’s stomach at the strange noise he’d made, and he struggled to open his eyes, blinking up at the concerned (and slightly panicked) face of Twilight.

But something about the rancher seemed... off.

Like, really off.

Twilight tried to give him a smile, but the edges were thin, and despite how strange his vision was (had he hit his head? That would explain why everything sounded weird too—) Wind could tell he was trying not to panic.

Which admittedly, rather made him want to panic, because Twilight never panicked and if he was panicking over what happened to Wind than it must be bad—

“Link, just stay calm, okay?” Twilight said, but despite his even tone of voice, Wind only felt his panic grow at the uncertainty of what had just happened. “You’re okay, I promise, just take it slow.”

Wind tried to sit up then, but his balance was all off and he fell right back down, breathing shakily as he tried desperately to keep calm.

“What’s going on Twilight? What happened to me?!” he cried, or at least tried to.

Instead of words though, all that came out of his mouth were a serious of panicked meows.

Wind slammed his mouth shut, so utterly shocked that it took him a moment to realize that his mouth didn’t feel right either. Sharp teeth pricked against the inside of his lips, and his tongue felt bumpy, sort of like the sensation of sand on bare feet.

The realization of what happened, as unbelievable as it was, suddenly slammed into Wind like a hurricane, and he stared down at the creamy-yellow paws that had once been his feet.

He was a cat.

Somehow he’d been turned into a cat!

Twilight might’ve been speaking again, but Wind was too busy trying to get a good look at himself, taking in his windswept fur and the whiskers he could feel on his face. He even had a tail, stuck right onto his rear end.

A breeze hit his face, brushing his fur and whiskers, and the feel of it was all wrong, so wrong, everything about himself just felt wrong wrong wrong—

Something touched his head, and Wind was so high-strung from shock and leftover panic that he jumped (though it was more of a stumble) backwards, a startled hiss coming from his mouth.

“Wind whoa, I’m not going to hurt you,” Twilight soothed, and Wind realized the rancher had been the one to touch him, probably trying to calm him down.

He swallowed, and managed to ease himself back down, feeling his ears flatten in embarrassment. He tried to give Twilight an apologetic look, and the rancher seemed to understand, giving him a small smile. The hand was carefully extended towards him again, and this time Wind let Twilight run a soothing hand through his fur.

If he closed his eyes and ignored how the rancher’s hand was currently bigger than his head, he could almost imagine Twilight was just giving his hair a fond ruffle.

“Sorry sailor, I shouldn’t have startled you,” Twilight said. “I’m... I’m so sorry this happened,” he said more quietly, looking frustrated at himself. “I should’ve warned you not to touch the pendant.”

Wind blinked at him, suddenly suspicious of why Twilight had a pendant that turned people into cats anyway. What use was that?! And he’d never even seen Twilight use it to turn into a cat before. Plus Twilight didn’t like magic, especially not dark magic.

What was going on here?

“I guess you deserve an explanation,” the rancher sighed, not following his train of thought. “This... it’s leftover magic from my journey. It was originally a curse, but with the help of the Master Sword I was able to use it for my own advantage. It... allows me to become the animal that aligns most closely with my spirit, which...”

Twilight paused, looking a little nervous.

“Which is, well... a wolf.”

Wind blinked, then the pieces of the puzzle clicked and his tail stood straight up in shock.

Twilight was Wolfie!

Wind yowled in equal surprise and excitement, startling himself a little at the sound that came out of his lungs, but it was mostly overcome by his excitement.

Twilight being Wolfie made so much sense, he couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before— looking back it was so obvious and...

...and why hadn’t Twilight told them?

Twilight seemed to figure out the meaning of his yowling well enough, and scratched the back of his neck.

“Yeah, I’m... Wolfie. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I wasn’t sure how everyone would take it, this magic isn’t completely... light,” he said awkwardly.

Wind thought back to the agony that had stretched and shifted his bones only a little while ago, twisting him into a form that was very much not his own, and shivered a little. He could see how it wasn’t exactly light magic.

But despite how achy and weird Wind felt, he didn’t feel like the magic that was in him now was actively malicious. It had changed him, but it had only done that, and apart from the slight pulse of it he could feel in his one paw, it wasn’t doing anything more to him as far as he could tell.

Twilight obviously didn’t mean any harm by it, and used the magic a lot with no bad or evil side effects or anything.

Wind shrugged, as much as he could as a cat, then stood up with a wobble, carefully testing each paw before trying to walk with it. He shakily made his way over to Twilight, then bonked his head against his knee with a small mrrow.

He didn’t trust the magic that had changed him. But he did trust Twilight.

Twilight huffed out a laugh at the gesture, and nodded at him, looking relieved at his acceptance. Wind tried his best to smile back, and felt a little better overall.

Not great though. Just better.

“Okay, our next goal is to find out where the others are, and get the Master Sword from Sky so we can fix you,” Twilight said with a thoughtful frown. “It’s the only way to get you back; when this happened to Legend, not even any of his crazy items were enough.”

Wind shot Twilight a wide-eyed look, and the rancher chuckled a little.

“Yeah, this happened to our veteran. He’d been transformed into an animal before though, so he wasn’t quite as shocked. I never would have expected he’d be bright pink, though.”

That must be why his hair turned pink that one night! Wind realized with a swell of glee, then let out a small mrrow of amusement. He couldn’t imagine how terrible Legend must have been as a little pink cat! ...unless he’d been a wolf like Twilight?

He’d have to add that to his rapidly growing list of ‘things to ask once he got his regular mouth back.’

“Right, so let’s get going,” Twilight said, dusting off his pants. “The portal closed after I fell through, so the others must be elsewhere. Hopefully they came through and we can find Sky quickly, and we won’t have to explain Wolfie to everyone...”

The rancher trailed off, looking a little anxious, and Wind tilted his head, studying him.

So that was why Twilight hadn’t told anybody. He must be afraid of what they would think of him being the random wolf that appeared and helped them out sometimes, and using a dark magic crystal thing to transform into him.

But the others would understand... wouldn’t they?

Wind caught Twilight’s attention and meowed at him, trying to look encouraging. Twilight looked down at him and snorted, shaking his head.

“I have no clue what you just said sailor. But thanks.”

Wind twitched his whiskers in amusement, and watched as Twilight stood up, holding his arm and grimacing a little. The sailor frowned, and when Twilight looked at him he meowed pointedly, looking at the blood staining his tunic.

He could smell the metallic scent in the air, sharper then normal, and it sure looked like a lot of blood to him.

“I’m fine sailor, it’s just a scratch. And I don’t have any potions, so there’s nothing I can do,” Twilight shrugged, wiping blood off his sword before sheathing it. “I’ll clean it once we find the others. I’ll be okay ‘til then.”

Twilight wandered a little ways up the hill in order to retrieve his pelt and a few other items he’d dropped before Wind could try to argue further, and Wind let out a small huff, then teetered after him, trying to get used to his new legs.

It wasn’t easy. He felt as unsteady as when he’d been sailing for weeks on end and finally gotten back to land, his paws wobbly and uncooperative underneath him. He was not used to four legs to deal with, and was unable to help the growl that rose in his throat as he tripped, tail lashing in annoyance.

How could he be helpful when he could barely walk?

Twilight came back to his side then, fully geared up, and Wind made an extra effort not to appear affected by his cumbersome paws. Twilight’s sharp eyes noticed immediately though, and he kneeled down next to him, offering a hand.

“I think you should ride with me for the time being sailor,” he said gently, wincing as Wind tripped again. “Just so we’ll make quicker ground.”

Wind lashed his tail. He could walk plenty fast!

To prove his point, he took a confident step forward, making an extra effort not to trip. But he was so focused on his feet, he forgot to pay attention to the ground, and tripped on a pebble and fell flat on his face.

Twilight winced, then offered his hand again, which Wind looked at grumpily before stumbling over to it.

Twilight gently scooped him up and placed him up on his shoulder, and Wind dug his claws into his pelt, figuring out how to comfortably sit. He finally nestled into a good spot, and Twilight began to move, back up the hill and into the forest beyond.

Wind looked behind them and watched the sea disappear behind the trees, and sighed to himself as a bit of wind blew past his whiskers.

This day was not going the way he’d thought it would.

Tierlist of the Great Sea costumes from Hyrule Warriors Legends.

I plan on doing more for the other costumes from the rest of the Adventure Mode maps.

(Costumes and explanations below the cut. There's a lot to go over, so it'll be long)

They probably couldn't make Warriors' costume based on Toon Link because it would likely be too similar to the Skyloft outfit, so they went with the crayfish pajamas. And I gotta say, I really like it. The blue shirt, white scarf, orange pants and gray boots go really well together.

I don't know why they made Impa wear pink. Maybe they were trying to reference the King of Red Lions? I'm not sure. But I do think it works pretty well for her.

I only just realized that Sheik's costume is colored that way as a reference to Tetra. That makes me like it a bit more. These colors are very striking, but they look good on her in my opinion.

Lana's costume is apparently based off the koroks, which I don't know if it matches up well with her. But the outfit looks really nice. My only complaint is that I don't know if the green hair fits her, so I've deducted points for that. Otherwise, she looks pretty cute and festive.

Of course, they gave Valor the princess dress that Tetra wears for the latter half of the game. The color of the dress is fine, but the dull armor and too bright hair kind of ruin it for me. Also, my partner is PISSED that this costume isn't based on Tetra. I think that would look substantially cooler, even if Sheik's costume would make it redundant.

I don't know who decided to make Ganondorf's costume fuck so goddamn much, but I am so glad they did! Everything about this Phantom Ganon costume is incredible. It kind of gives me Metroid Prime vibes, which is a very good thing.

Darunia's Phantom Hourglass goron costume isn't too big of a change, especially when compared to the masterpiece that was Ganondorf's. I don't really care for the brown spikes, but the stomach tattoo looks pretty cool.

The Laruto costume that Ruto has is very striking, and I think it works very well. Between the color combination and the character reference, I like it quite a bit.

I'm not sure why they decided to make Agitha a goth with this costume, but I think it suits her. Unfortunately, the way her face paint looks kind of lessens my fondness for it. But I definitely don't hate it.

Midna is already my favorite character in this game, so I was probably going to like whatever costume she had. But this Floormaster-inspired look is incredible! The changes are pretty slight, but the pink markings and the darker color of the Fused Shadow adds so much to what was already peak character design. In fact, she probably could have been on the top of S Tier if they'd leaned a bit more into it.

I don't know if Zant's costume is based on Gohdan or Jabun. Neither of those options really fit him, in fact they're kind of the opposite, and it may seem a bit weird to give him such bright colors. However, I actually like how he looks in this costume, even if it does look a bit more regal than he deserves.

Given that Fi's design was partially based on the Fairy Queen, this costume was only natural. And I'd describe it in the same way. This coloration is perfect for Fi, and the purple ribbon-markings down her legs are a nice touch.

Kalle Demos is one of my favorite Zelda bosses from a strictly aesthetic view. So it only makes sense that they were the base for one as, shall we say, colorful as Ghirahim. I love the gradients on his suit and cape, and I only recently noticed the green gem on his belt.

Like with Agitha, I don't really get the reference in Cia's costume. But I will not deny that she looks really good in that dark red, especially with the sunset colors of her shoulder cape. I do think that her hatless outfit is the best looking of the three, though.

Volga's costume is another with a subtle change. But like Midna's, I think that this one looks really good. The colors look good, and the reference to Valoo is quite fitting.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Wizzro. I think his costume is based off of Jalhalla, which could have worked. But I really don't like the brown.

I'm already conflicted about how I feel about the design of Midna's true form, or 'Twili Midna' as she's called in Hyrule Warriors (I don't get why), and this costume only adds to it. I get that it’s based on Cassiopeia, but I do not appreciate the reference. And while I don't hate the color combination they used, I don't think it works with her. It's really a shame.

Also, why did they change the color of her skin here?

I have a lot of questions about Young Link's costume. What is the costume supposed to be? Why is he purple? Why does he have red hair? I don't hate this costume, but it doesn't make much sense to me.

This may be surprising, but I actually kind of like how Tingle looks in this costume. The gray and blue work well together, and I like the reference to Ankel or Knuckel. It's good.

Given what costume they gave to Warriors, I think it makes sense that Linkle's is based off of Aryll's dress. Not only do the colors work, but I like the little flower designs on the tunic. It's adorable.

Oh, Hell yes! I love Skull kid's costume. Not only do the white and purple go well together, but they look perfect when put with the colorful Majora's mask. I think it's also based on the poes, which also works. I can't think of anything I would improve with this one.

Another Link, another set of crayfish pajamas. I don't know why he has a belt, but it doesn't take too much away from the appeal. It's just a solid design. Although, if they did this one twice, then maybe they could have made Valor's costume look more like Tetra

Speaking of Tetra, her costume is also pretty cool. I think it's cool how the colors of her jacket and bandana are swapped. My only complaint is that I don't really care for the striped shirt. But I guess it helps to get the reference to Niko across. I like this one, even if my partner doesn't get why she needs a Great Sea costume

Finally, we have King Daphnes. His costume is based on Oshus’s disguised form, which is rather fitting. The bright colors are very striking and mesh decently well together. It actually kind of reminds me of a movie I saw when I was a kid.

A lot more people liked my Mer-Legend concept/sketch thingy than what I thought, so here’s a progress report, since I haven’t actually finished:

He’s bald

And to distract you all from the fact that I haven’t actually done that much progress, here’s some fun facts that I learned about the Zelda franchise.

Legend found a temple, believed to be a grave, called The Temple of the Four Sword, where Legend had to fight four dark Links, all color coordinated too. Wonder what that’s about. Apparently the purple one is the hardest fight of the four.

There is Zelda game that crossover with Crypt of NecroDancer called Candence of Hyrule, making it a rhythm based game.

Wind and Time show up in Warrior’s timeline for his “adventure” (in quotation marks because it was a full on war). Here’s some other characters that showed up: Shiek (Time), Daruina (Time), Princess Ruto (Time), Midna (Twilight), Fi (it’s Fi, like), Marin (Legend), Medli (Wind), Ravio (Legend), Tetra (Wind), and Skull Kid (Time)

There’s a girl in Warrior’s timeline named Linkle. Fanfic seems to suggest she’s Warrior’s sister/twin, but I couldn’t find anything about that, so…

One of Legend’s adventures was getting stranded in an island named Koholint after his raft got stuck in a storm (where he was struck by lightning), and the actual adventure was waking up this fish god per the islanders’ request. Upon waking up the fish you learn that the entire adventure was a dream created by the fish and that none of it (expect the storm) was real. In this dream Legend was saved by a girl who wished to become a seagull, and who Legend fell in love with. Her name was Marin. Warriors should probably mention to him that she’s alive somewhere.

Legend is apparently Zelda’s sibling. His timeline believes that boys born into the royal family are bad luck and taint the goddess magic, which is why the family is cursed to have boys with incredibly bright colored hair, makes them easy to hunt. It’s why Legend has pink hair.

In the topic of Legend and curses, during his first adventure a wizard had taken over Hyrule, imprisoning Zelda and brainwashing the knights into believing that Legend was a traitor to the crown.

There was another game in Wind’s time line involving trains. I don’t know if the protag Link is still Wind, just later in life, a completely unrelated Link that came way after time (with their homes being a new Hyrule built by Wind and Tetra (lowkey seems more possible)) or if the whole thing was another dream adventure created by fish god. A comment cleared it up. This Link (Spirit) is new and years after Wind but Jojo likely fused the two to bring the number down.

Wind can also, apparently, see dead people. Or he has a sword that allows him to see dead people. Still unclear on that too.

Totk role reversal ideas

Idea 1 + 2

Part 1

Part 2 how link and the champions interact with Rauru and the sages

Spirit dragon design

Layout

Uncolored design

Colored design

More ideas about Spirit Dragon

Part 3

Part 4

Linked Universe enter a TOTK role reverse au

Wild goes back in time instead of Zelda/Flora. When she realizes Wild is the spirit dragon flying around and that the Master Sword is with him she tries to go up and pull it out herself. But it just won’t budge. She’s not a hero of the goddess. But lucky for her Hylia is about to drop off 8 hero’s for her to pick from

Part 1

Continuations

Who pulls the sword

Paraglides for the Chain

Part 1

Part 2

How does the chain respond to phantom Wild

Wild and Flora time adventures

After TOTK Flora uses her time powers to take her and Wild on a time traveling adventure to meet up with the other members of the chain and see what they’re doing 6 years after LU adventure.

The idea

Visiting Twilight

Remaking the Mirror of Twilight

Part 1

Reunions in the Wild (Linked Universe)

The chain gets dropped off at Hateno Village. Believing they have been blessed with a break they start to settle into Wild’s home only for Wild’s slate to start going crazy. When he looks the Lon Lon ranch symbol has appeared. When he and Time go to investigate they find Malon. (Cue all the chains loved ones getting dropped into Wild’s Hyrule and everyone going on a journey to pick them up.

Original idea

Time

He’s rescuing Malon

And she is getting dropped off at the Ranch Ruins. There is a guardian there and I fell like there is no place better for her. The Temple of Time would be upsetting for Time but the Ranch Ruins are more dangerous.

Twilight

Poll for who Twilight is looking for

Poll for where Twilight’s loved one is

Sky

Poll for who Sky is looking for

Results: Sun and Groose

Poll for where Sky’s loved one is

Results: the Forgotten temple

Warriors

Poll for who Warriors is looking for

Results: Linkle won by one vote with Artemis in second (I might do them both)

Poll for where Warrior’s loved one is

Legend

Poll for who Legend is looking for

Result: Ravio

There is no poll for location because they are going to Evertide island because I feel that’s the most traumatizing location for Legend.

Wind

Poll for who Wind is looking for

Results: bot Tetra and Aryll

Poll for where Wind’s loved one(s) is

Results: someplace near Lurelin (TBD)

Hyrule

Poll for who Hyrule is looking for.

Results: both Dawn and Aurora

I’m pretty set on the location being Typhlo Ruins as it is shrouded in darkness and would really freak them out and has a Hinox.

Four

Poll for who Four is looking for

Results: Shadow

Poll for where Shadow is

Sneak peak at the Lon Lon Ranch chapter

Hello, hello!

Do you have favourite versions of Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda? :)

Wind Waker Link is so TINY and FLUFFY, I want to just pick him up and hold him! But TP Link has DOG MODE. Also BotW/TotK Link is so expressive and dorky and his wholesome food excitement AUGH!

Zeldas… Tetra is a pirate and Sheik is a ninja and I find that INCREDIBLY awesome. Minish Cap Zelda is a gremlin, which I REALLY appreciate. BotW/TotK Zelda is such a wholesome science bean, her lab with the pictures of her the Hateno kids drew in TotK melted me into a puddle of goooooo!!! But I gotta say, I think my FAVORITE is Spirit Tracks Zelda. Friggin. Casper the Friendly Ghost baby. She is SO WHOLESOME.

I cling desperately to Wind Waker Ganondorf’s possible hint at implications that things aren’t as “light good dark bad, it’s all predestined, no thinking allowed” as they seem… and seeing Hyrule Warriors’ Fluffydorf excitedly kicking open a chest is weirdly heartwarming to me because this guy literally exists to get dogpiled on by divine wrath, and he finally gets SOMETHING. But HOW could I not talk about Cadence of Hyrule’s little Tinydorf!! He’s BABY! And the ending implies that he’s SAVED FROM TURNING INTO GANON?! YES!?!?!!! Also the Gerudo in that game sound like they’re from Texas and I headcanon he sounds like Bobby Hill.

Ganondorf gets told he got like, 15 hours to live. No matter what he does or what forces interfere, he perishes in 15 hours.

Discuss

WHY WOULD YOU CURSE MY BELOVED, LITTLE SIBLING-

I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME-

************************************************************************

If each Ganondorf and Demise were told they had only 15 hours to live, their actions in their final moments would reflect their personalities, desires, and how they view their own mortality. Here’s how they might spend their remaining time:

Wind Waker Ganondorf (Wake):

Reflection and Regret: Wake has already shown a deep capacity for reflection and regret in his final moments in The Wind Waker. He may spend the first part of the 15 hours thinking about his long-held dream of restoring Hyrule from beneath the sea, his failure to achieve it, and the futility of his ambitions. His ultimate defeat left him emotionally vulnerable, and this situation would make him confront that vulnerability even further.

Final Confrontation: After reflecting, Wake would likely seek out a final confrontation with Link, Tetra (Zelda), or the gods themselves, not with the hope of victory but to leave his mark in the end. He would want to go out on his terms, challenging fate and death with defiance.

Ending in Solitude: If denied a final battle, Wake might return to his tower, facing the ocean in solitude, accepting that the dream of Hyrule’s revival will die with him.

Ocarina of Time Ganondorf (Bandit):

Ruthless Conquest: Bandit, with his insatiable desire for power and conquest, would see these final hours as his last chance to assert dominance. He would attempt one final coup, throwing every ounce of strength he has left into either taking over Hyrule Castle or inflicting as much damage as possible on the kingdom and its people.

Confronting Link and Zelda: Knowing that his time is running out, Bandit would want to face Link and Zelda, if only to curse them, mock their victory, and make sure they understand that his spirit will never rest, even in death. His hatred for the two would drive his last hours.

Vengeful Rage: If all else fails, Bandit would rage until the end, fighting against the inevitability of his demise, refusing to die quietly or without a final act of violence.

Twilight Princess Ganondorf (Noctis):

Acceptance of Fate: Noctis is the most dignified and regal of the Ganondorfs, and he would likely face his fate with a sense of dark acceptance. His experience with divine intervention (such as his encounter with the Sages and the Twilight Realm) would have already instilled a deep understanding of the gods’ cruelty and the inevitability of death.

Seeking Revenge on the Gods: Knowing that his time is short, Noctis might turn his wrath toward the gods themselves, either through dark rituals, desperate appeals, or attempts to gain their attention one final time. If denied, he would spend his last hours cursing their interference and demanding they face him.

Final Words to Midna or Zelda: Noctis, valuing power and rule, might seek out Midna or Zelda to impart a final warning, curse, or even advice. He would want to leave behind a legacy, and in his final moments, he might reveal his deeper thoughts about the world, power, and destiny.

Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf (Hedony):

Pure Defiance and Spectacle: Hedony is flamboyant, larger than life, and thrives on spectacle. In his final hours, he would summon every monster, every follower, and every ally under his command to create a display of his power one last time. He would want his death to be legendary, something spoken about for generations.

Building a Legacy: Knowing he cannot survive, Hedony might try to create a lasting monument or legacy—something that would ensure his name lives on. This could be a cursed object, a ritual, or a final battle that leaves a permanent scar on the land or its people.

Defiant to the Last: As time runs out, Hedony would embrace his end with a cruel grin, relishing the chaos he created and his impact on history. He would want to die with the knowledge that, even in death, he remains unforgettable.

Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf (Vendettas):

Descent into Madness: Vendettas, consumed by the gloom and his own darkness, would spiral into madness during his final hours. His connection to the dark powers and his transformation into the Demon King would only heighten his fear of death and his desire to destroy everything before him.

Attempting to Destroy Everything: Vendettas would see his impending death as a chance to take as much of the world down with him. He would unleash the full extent of his powers, flooding Hyrule with gloom, summoning legions of monsters, and spreading corruption as far as possible. His final act would be one of mass destruction.

Tormenting Zelda and Link: Vendettas would take sadistic pleasure in seeking out Link and Zelda, taunting them with his impending death and making sure they suffer in his final hours. He would use his last breath to try and break them, emotionally or physically.

Demise:

Hatred Until the End: Demise, the original source of Ganon's hatred, would not care about reflecting on his life or pondering the meaning of his final moments. His only thought would be on destruction. He would want to see the world burn before his time was up, unleashing all his fury on the gods, mortals, and everything in between.

Final Battle with the Gods: In his last hours, Demise would seek one final battle with Hylia, the goddess he despises most, or any other deity. He would challenge them directly, looking to die in combat with the divine.

Leaving a Curse: If unable to take down the gods, Demise would use his dying moments to ensure his hatred lives on. This could manifest as a final curse, sealing his malice into the world so that his hatred would continue to torment the living for generations.

Summary of Their Final Actions:

Wind Waker Ganondorf (Wake): Reflects on his failures, seeks a final confrontation, or dies in solitude.

Ocarina of Time Ganondorf (Bandit): Attempts one final conquest or battle, full of rage and hatred.

Twilight Princess Ganondorf (Noctis): Accepts fate, seeks revenge on the gods, and imparts final words of wisdom or curses.

Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf (Hedony): Creates a spectacle, leaves a lasting legacy, and embraces his end with defiance.

Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf (Vendettas): Descends into madness, tries to destroy everything, and torments Zelda and Link.

Demise: Destruction incarnate, seeks a final battle with the gods or leaves behind a curse of eternal hatred.

Each incarnation of Ganondorf and Demise would meet their end with a different approach, but all would aim to leave a lasting impact, driven by their insatiable thirst for power, conquest, or pure hatred.

Thought I should detail the nails these guys all use.

Some of the nails from my original post changed slightly. I didn't have a very solid idea of what I wanted their nails to look like at the time, but I got them all down now!

Notes below:

I separated the nails into basic categories. Mainly for me to be able to keep track of them all. These aren't really canon to Hollow Knight, more my interpretation of how they would refer to their nails.

Time

The nail he used in the Sleeping Gods comic is what he used when he first entered Hallownest

Using a new nail was his way of coming to terms with his injuries

Twilight

He prefers using his claws, so he does not use a nail

His claws are even more powerful as a Shade

Warriors

Uses a standard Needle that's commonly used in The Hive

Four

Has a talent for smithing nails himself and created his own

The split nail was an accident, but something he further developed and was able to perfect

He also helps the Mosskin with their nail related issues

Wind

His nail is from the Colosseum of Fools, he got it after he started going there regularly

Tetra taught him how to take care of it

Wild

He has a standard nail, but it technically counts more as a needle

He has multiple. Many. Lots. Too many to count (but I have no idea where he puts them)

He prefers to use his nails as ranged weapons than close combat

Legend

Has 2 short range nails (dual wield) and his staff

He prefers to use his nails but is getting used to using his Soul as a weapon (he's having fun with it)

Is not afraid to just hit someone with the staff if he needs to. It worked out for him before using Soul, it'll work for him just fine now

Hyrule

Doesn't use a nail, he perfers using spells

Can use Legend staff if needed (he only really uses it to demonstrate spells for Legend)

Sky

The Master nail and Dream nail are one in the same

Is hesitant to let anyone else handle it (he gets better at this)

The Dream nail is the only known "cure" for the infection

Dark Link

They're nail is a replica of the standard nail Time used when he first fought Radiance

They can summon this nail, as well as projectile nails (they all look the same)

They're also able to replicate the nails used by the other bugs, but Time's nail is their primary weapon

#how the bugs hold their nails is the same logic used in hollow knight lol #who needs hands #linked universe #willo art #lu hollow knight au #willo art lu hollow knight

I hope you feel better soon! Being sick sucks ass

The scene you painted with the death of Warriors’ guide hurt so much I hate you I’m screaming and dying at the same time

Thank you BB!

Also I'm about to do it again <3

Warnings: Slight mention of blood, mentions of death, another angst piece

"Abandon ship! Make way to the dinghies!"

The flames burned, the embers flying off into the starry night as the fire ate away at the wood of the grande ship. It was something from a painting the way that the orange blazed, reflecting off the dark waters and colouring the black sky for yards around- almost beautiful as it was tragic.

Link wasn't sure what to do. No, he didn't have clue as he watched the crew run about like headless chickens, gathering any supplies they could that would be hauled back to New Hyrule that was a mere dot in the far distance.

Tetra was in a similar state, frozen by his side, a mixture of horror and sadness plastered on her young face as she witnessed the scene unfold- the young hero knew that guilt was eating at her conscious, spotting the fallen mates within puddles of their own blood just beside the remains of monsters, left behind after poofing from existence.

She hadn't done enough- he hadn't done enough-

And now (Name)'s ship was paying the price.

"Make sure those boxes reach the mainland!" They barked, blood running down their forehead as they tugged their right hand man close by their hook hand, "The country needs those supplies- and by the goddess they will get them!"

"Yes, Captain!"

(Name)'s gaze snapped towards the two, pushing the right hand away towards another hanging dinghie before hobbling quickly towards them, their peg leg creating a dull thump each time it met the wood of the planked floor. "You two! Haul arse! Get on those boats!"

Reality seemed to hit Tetra harshly when (Name) grabbed her shirt's scruff roughly, right and crying out. She refused. This wouldn't be it. She would continues to fight- she would not let their ship come to pass!

But the captain wasn't having that, tossing her into one of the boats with a few more members and demanding they left- screamed that they get away.

Their teary eyes were ignored as they slowly lowered themselves, Tetra's raged screaming dimming from the roar of the fire.

Link looked at them with wide, glossy eyes as they stomped back over. "Did you not here me, Link?! I said move!"

His scruff was grabbed this time, the younger teen being dragged towards another boat, this time only holding their right hand as he waited patiently for his next orders.

Link was thrown in after a second, secured by the hand of the older man when he tried to leap back out. "What about you?! There's nothing left for this boat!"

The young blonde already knew this answer of course. It was near law, written into the code of the pirates that Tetra and many others had seemed to parrot when he questioned those clashing tales of those cut-throat captains meeting such timely deaths on the decks of their ships.

"A captain will always go down with their ship!" Pulling out their trusty sword, (Name) slashed at the ropes holding up the small boat. "Let them know I died loyal to her, hero!"

They watched from afar as the sea swallowed the ship, the orange earlier dusting the sky slowly fading until only the lights of the stars reflected off those waters of midnight blue. Their crew bowed their heads in respect, sending blessings to their captain's ocean burial before they would begin to move to the shores of New Hyrule.

It was the last they would ever see of Capatin (Name), Guide to the great Hero Link.

And you couldn't help but lend out your hand towards the young pirate, his lip wobbling slightly with eyes growing misty before you pulled him to rest against your shoulder. You cooed, gently running a hand through his hair and hushing his heavy cries.

It seemed death followed all the incarnations that those men held so dearly.
