Linked Universe, The Hero of War

My headcanons/aus

Art by Atro

Colored version.

Long talk/Ideas under the cut, warning for implied self-harm and intentional scarring. (Note: I may add stuff over time, but nothing will be deleted from the list)

Twilight. Wind. Time. Hyrule. Four. Sky. Legend. Wild.

Warriors (Hyrule Warriors): Other nicknames: The Captain, Knight, Pretty boy, Flirt, One-Man army, Scarface.

Titles: The Hero of Hyrule, the Hero of the Era of War, The Gerudo’s prince, The Blood-stain General.

God who has claim over his soul: Demise (Because of the blessing from Ganondorf)

Part of First’s soul: Leadership

Note: Because of how much his war affected time and all that, he has met many different versions of the hero and looked after them (pretty much babysitting them). He’s also fought enemies he shouldn’t have and been to corrupt places, so he knows a little bit about everything.

History (note connecting to an au so most not canon):

Link was abandoned in the desert because he was a bastard, he ended up being adopted by Ganondorf the leader of the Gerudo. This Ganondorf knows the history of Hyrule but doesn’t want to be a destructive force, just wants his people to stay safe and alive. Ganon wants to be good, and makes a promise to himself by looking after the child he later calls his son. He eventually learns his son carries the Triforce of Courage, but doesn’t care, just wants to prove himself. 

Ganondorf is sort of warlike, mainly because his desert keeps getting attacked by outside nations and he’s trying to protect it. War grows up learning all different types of weapons, planning attacks and all that, but still always being protected by his father.

Eventually the malice was too much for Ganondorf, so Ganon sent War away, hoping he could have a good life before Ganondorf went to the Guardian of Time and pleaded with her to break apart and seal his soul.

Link is left in hyrule, his voice sealed away. Eventually he joins the army of hyrule as it’s really the only place that will take in someone like him, an orphan with no voice. Eventually the war starts, and it is revealed that he has the Triforce of Courage. He’s put in charge as the battle continues before Cia reveals hers, saying she is working for someone with the promise that Link will be hers. Eventually Cia is defeated however Ganondorf is now back.

Link tried to get his father to go back to normal, however it doesn’t work so Link was force to kill him, which only allow Ganondorf with his mind back, to plead and apologize to his son.

Link soon took on the persona of a flirty pretty boy, mainly as a way of coping. He also ends up carving up his face, because of what Cia would do just to get that pretty face. Right now he is Zelda’s right hand man and adviser.

Death: Unknown…..

Interesting stuff/Headcanons:

War’s love language has always been physically touch, the feeling of holding someone or being held and knowing you are safe.

He carved up his face after everything, mainly fearing that someone else would be after him, might as well damage what started the war.

He started the persona of the flirty pretty boy to survive in the army, most don’t know his true self besides the links, Zelda, Impa and Linkle.

Any romantic relationship he had with Zelda fizzled out when Cia happened.

War had deep seeded trust issues considering how many of his ‘friends’ were all in favor of tossing him to Cia to end the war.

War turned the flirting to girls during the war up it as a big ‘screw you’ to Cia.

War is ace, specifically a sex repulsed ace.

Ganondorf was somewhat paranoid about people taking his son away, so he trained War to be able to use any weapon he got his hands on.

He even taught him how to fight without one or turn your environment into a weapon.

This very much contrasted later as he refused to allow War to get involved when conflict happened, he had to stay in the palace where it was safe and figure out strategies.

War always had a stupid number of weapons on him. Many are hidden of course.

Even when sleeping he at least has three blades in reaching distance.

Because of what happened with his father, War always has a plan on what would've happened if one of his friends got possessed and what he could do to save them.

He also watches for weak points in others mostly to help them improve.

War thinks about battle and war in a terrifying mix of courage, wisdom and power, knowing where to strike and how to be effective with it.

Has a natural parenting instinct from babysitting young ones, both at home and from the war.

Typically wraps and tucks his scarf around his waist so it can’t be grabbed and actually choke him in battle.

He actually has Ice and Fire magic, because of a blessing from his grandmothers, it’s just not his preferred way of fighting.

Plus, it makes him weaker to the opposite element, it’s why fire from the dragon knight scarred and hurt more than normal.

Has a lot of manners from the gerudo (like why he had no problem with Zelda/Impa in charge), it’s just no one knows about the gerudo tribe in his world to notice.

Monsters either target War or hesitate to attack him, he uses this to his advantage.

War can play music on an Ocarina but can’t sing to save his life. (Correction, he can sing, it’s just gerudo sounding and most don’t like it)

He is like a field medic, he knows how to save a life, but it won’t be comfortable.

The only person who knows who War’s father is, was Mask. Mask didn’t seem to judge War for it but was super angry at Ganon.

War doesn’t allow himself to express emotions outside the select ones for his ‘persona’.

So, if stuff gets really bad, he needs to scream or cry, he goes to somewhere completely hidden and breaks down (he knows this isn’t healthy, but he doesn’t care).

War is attached to the scarf because it reminds him of the fabric he wore at home, the one which was insisted on to protect his skin from the sun.

War has a screwed-up sleep schedule. He often takes a second shift and then just doesn’t wake up the others and continues the watch. 

He still has a necklace from his father, which his dad promised was laced with magic and would protect him. Despite how many times War tried to get rid of it, he can’t.

Sometimes gerudo words will slip in when he’s talking, most just think it’s a mistake.

War ‘hobbies’ are typically cleaning armor and sharpening weapons. However, he can use his magic to make little ice statues.

He has flashbacks, where he relives memories and battles. There not as bad as Wild sense he can be brought out of them, however there is a chance he could react violently.

Confined spaces can really set this off as he was captured by Cia for a short time.

He’s the closest and trusts Time/Mask the most, there are no secrets between them.

War acts almost like a drill sergeant in battles at times, no one dares go against his orders (this is after he got his voice back).

----

War is done, as you can see he is heavily based off my ‘Like father, like son’ au. The boy isn’t canon which means I can do whatever I want. Let me know your thoughts.

Lu wars asking the others “what is love?”

Warriors to time: what is love?

Time: mal-.. the feelings two or more people could share with one another?

Warriors quietly whispering while writing that down: that’s very basic old man.

Time: what was that?

Warriors: nothing-

Warriors to twilight: what is love?

Twi: the reason for my crippling depression-

Wars starts writing it down then realizes: what?

Twi avoids eye contact: what?

Warriors to sky: what is love?

Sky: my only reason for living.

Warriors: what.

Sky: I mean Zelda- I mean when two like each other a lot!-

Warriors *trying not to wheeze while writing that down*

Warriors to four: what is love?

Four *starts trying not to smile*: whenever people become close to each other and care about each other.

Warriors *suspiciously eyeing him*: okay.

Warriors to wind: what is love?

Wind *immediately smirks and inhales*: BA-

Wild *shoving wind out of the way*: BABY DONT HURT ME!

Hyrule *across camp looking over at wild*: DON’T HURT ME!!

Legend *walking behind wars picking up random sticks quietly saying*: no more.

Warriors *face full of confusion*: seriously wtf is wrong with you guys??

Wind *snickering while laying face first on the ground*

Idk if anyone has made this yet but this song just randomly came on in my Spotify playlist

Hyrule Warriors - 10th Anniversay!

Here is my wallpaper piece for @hyrulewarriorszine

This is by far, my largest and most ambitious illustration that I was able to fully rendered and completed. And super happy with how it turned!

Please go check out the Hyrule Warriors 10th Anniversary zine: Denouement of War. It's a free digital zine filled with incredible fanworks by super awesome group of artists and writers.

[chatter-crow]

Me and Wars /silly

You should put him in a jar (the fairy side coming out)

DONT TAP ON THE GLASS-

anyways people seeing this yall should send me art requests

[hero-of-the-wolf]

Time stared down at the blue fabric bunched up in his hands. It had always been a source of great comfort in the past, but without Warriors’ grounding presence, it only felt like a cruel mockery of what it had once been.

He fisted the scarf and squeezed his eye closed against a fresh wave of tears. He’d already cried so much already, how could he still have tears left? He needed to be strong for the others, he needed—

He needed his big brother.

He held the scarf closer. It still smelled like Warriors. How long until that faded away? How long until his memories faded too, until all that was left was a hazy smile and the vague impression of kind blue eyes?

Lifeless, blue eyes staring up at the sky.

A sob escaped his throat. He curled tightly into himself, clutching the scarf like his life depended on it.

How could this happened?

He didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye….

He’d never thanked Warriors for everything he’d done for him, never truly showed him how grateful he was, didn’t say I love you back when he’d—

How could he ever forgive himself for how completely and utterly he’d failed his brother?

Hyrule Warriors Link seems to be on the flashier side, and since he's on the front lines of a war I took some inspiration from Landsknecht armor and clothes. I also gave him the darkmagic sword because the rest of his weapons are directly from other Zelda games, at least this one is a recolor of the magic sword.

This would be decades after the War of Eras, when the aftereffects of that war really start to get bad. Anyways, that blood isn't his, don't worry!

[liccy]

For the WIP ask game, curious about artblockrr or bigbro 👀

Let's do bigbro!

This was more a self gratification draw. It's niche, but I didn't want to stop drawing more baby!FaeRule. Someone commented how they wanted to give the sprite new clothes, and I thought... who's the best to dress up little fairies? Wars! Plus, you can totally get Loz1's original outfit as a fairy costume in the game! (At least in Definitive Edition). It was perfect.... except I completely forgot what I wanted to do on the bottom half, and it just stayed buried in my files. But never forgotten in my heart.

[snailtaco]

I realize I don’t draw him enough, and the times I have weren’t I would consider good, so I’m here to rectify that :)

[mischefous]

im so sorry if this sends twice tumblr has acted strange for me ;~; but for the whump request can we have Sky waking up from a prophetic nightmare? or super injured?(near death maybe?)

Don't worry Anon! I got your other one hehe. And thank you for the requesttt!💙 you have a splendid day!

HYLIA how many times have I drawn Warriors?! make it 5 times MWAHAHA! he felt like a good fit for this situation. As a Captain, he is well-equipped to handle this. Sky definitely needed that hug T3T

I didn't know how to describe crying i sowwy if it looks stoopid ahhhhh

Coloring Headcanons part 2. War and Hyrule.

Basically be coloring in the sketch commission I got from Atro Avis (I got permission)

This is based off my headcanon list (which will be linked). I will give a small list for reason behind color choices.

War

Suntan skin from his early childhood in the desert.

Hair is sun bleached, it’s normally like Hyrules or Twi’s color. Yet it immediately fades to a light blond as soon as it grows out.

Eye is strain a red due to the fire magic from his grandmothers.

Gloves are Ganons, War kept them after the final battle.

Hyrule

His fae side causes his undertones to be a more green color.

Golden ring around his pupils is from the magic of the triforce.

Hair is color of dying leaves.

Fingers are stain greens and browns, typically able to convince people it’s from plants.

Colored versions, enjoy and let me know your thoughts!

[sleepyy-27]

So I wanted to try and draw something like a dramatic side highlight(?) and I thought why not Warriors and this is the result ig lol (sorry about the quality and stuff, I’m starting to learn how to use procreate for the first time so it’s a bit awkward getting used to ig cause I use to use ibis paint)

The Hero of Warriors -- Time Lapse!!

I am a bit overwhelmed with work lately so there won’t be new drawings in a while… but I do have some old process videos and old WIPs to share.

I made this drawing for This is an Adjuration by @not-freyja

I did draw an upper lip for him and I realized how quickly he starts to look like Sky
