#Hyrule and Wild will be having a talk about this dw

[sunfloweraro]

Bunny in danger!

The Chain leave Bunny somewhere safe to clear a monster camp on their trail. Despite Wild’s assurances, Bunny isn’t so safe after all.

@thatonecrazysidekick @tiredgaytheatrekid pssst more Bunny! (I’m sorry)

TW for blood and injury.

Black sand exploded around him, and with half his group of monsters disintegrated, Hyrule had a second to breathe before the final four pounced all at once. A spear cut a fierce gash into his right arm, blood dribbling from the wound and staining his dark sleeve. Another nicked him on the calf. A third, he grabbed by the shaft and twisted out of the monster’s hands, relishing in the way its eyes widened in alarm before he shoved the weapon back into its owner’s stomach, the monster crumbling into black sand.

A high squeal, that fiery protectiveness within his chest swelling, forcing him to look up in time to see Bunny slam into a tree with a sharp shriek. Hyrule’s heart jumped into his throat as the little pink rabbit crashed to the ground in a heap. He didn’t move.

The fourth lizalfos took advantage of the distraction and sent its spear through the back of his thigh. Pain turned his vision white and Hyrule stumbled, the spear sticking out from the front of his leg, blood trailing down his thigh in dark rivulets. Then, he caught sight of that tiny bundle of pink fur, of a lizalfos stalking over to it, a fierce bite wound in its arm, and a wave of blistering fury and golden desire to protect flooded his mind. The air around him crackled.

“Don’t touch him!” A sharp snap of his fingers, and then dozens of bolts of lightning slammed into the ground all around him, turning the world white. The ground shook and lizalfos shrieked in terror, the sounds cut off swiftly.

And then the lightning was gone, leaving behind seven stunned heroes, their hair frizzy and wild and their eyes wide. Hyrule paid them no mind, nor did he feel the normal drain such a significant spell would cause or the spear still embedded in his thigh; he frantically hobbled over to Bunny, kneeling alongside him and gritting his teeth as the spear in his thigh shifted, his vision swimming alarmingly.

“Bunny!” His hands were already glowing a tender pink, healing magic at the ready, and he pressed them against Bunny, closing his eyes as his magic sought out the wounds his little friend had accumulated. His magic pulsed in response, a warning he ignored as he trickled more into Bunny’s still form.

“Traveller, your leg!” Wild had joined him at some point. Hyrule hadn’t noticed, when the edges of his vision were blurry, his ears roaring with blood. Now, his veins began to boil. “You need to—”

He turned to Wild, teeth bared. “You said he would be safe!”

Wild’s eyes widened and he flinched back as if Hyrule had struck him. “I…”

“Look at him! He almost died because of you! This is your fault!”

“I—I’m—” Wild’s eyes glistened now, and Hyrule found the flames were only stoked by the sight.

Before he could snap anything more, Twilight pushed himself between them. “Enough!” he hissed, pushing Wild away. “Take a walk, Cub.”

“B—but, I—”

“I know,” Twilight said, gentler than Hyrule thought Wild deserved. “We’ll talk later. I’ll take over.”

Wild nodded shakily, scurried away before Hyrule could say any more.

I was thinking about the language barrier's reader a bit and thought that the inclusion of certain types of jewelry on reader looked odd to Hylians was really neat! So I looked around to see what types of jewelry Hylians could wear and the most I see them wearing are gold necklaces, bracelets, and the occasional jewel earring. Which isn't a very diverse jewelry set, but it is interesting. It got me thinking if the reader wears more gothic or alternative types of jewelry like studded rhinestone belts or spiky chained collars or even an industrial piercing on one if their ears. It can also add to the group's suspicions since they're timelines are a lot more fantastical and dark/gothic elements are more see of as apart of the evil side. They could've thought that reader was a spy or smthn! Thoughts?

This is so fucking late - IN MY DEFENSE.

I graduated college last year, moved several states over this year, am still taking a class for certifications, and then got hit by Hurricane Helene not even 6 months after moving basically right in its path. Its been a lonngggg year you guys.

So sorry abt the inactivity frequently, please try to understand, i do this in the little free time i have between work and class, and even then i have other hobbies i like to indulge in for my own mental health too lol,

so i want to have fun and chill with you guys when i can

Anyway onto the ask

☆

So true ✒️ anon, fun headcanons here, im so excited someone noticed that kinda obscure reference! I had noticed that abt most Loz games too, that theres usually very specific jewelry, like gold bracelets/necklaces, or only jewelry thats diff is specific to things like fairies/tribes of ppl/etc.

I dont have much thoughts tbh, u thought of more stuff than i did lmao

Love alt reader reactions (i use that as an umbrella term tbh, like covering any non-mainstream style)

Bro they def would think ur a spy 😭

Like, wild's out here like "guys i think the Yiga members arent even hiding it anymore 🤨"

(Sorry i mention wild alot, ive yet to play other loz games 😔 dw chat i just some of the switch versions for early winter presents)

Okay but to slingshot in the other direction bc i finally had a Thought in my empty head

If u had like silvery jewelry or like very clean (pearls/beads/etc.)

Lol what if they mistook you for like a minor deity/spirit?

Bc those are some of the individuals i can think of in a few loz games who get jewelry at all/get unique pieces

Or if we're going by Guide!Reader, these silly hylians are like "oh yes, mmhm, makes sense, no wonder u have strange jewelry"

Do you think Legend would be jealous?

Do you think Legend would lowkey steal stuff trying to see if they have magicks lol

Waving around like those chunky silver gothic looking rings like "Shadows, or something! Uhh, invisibility? Ugh, Hyrule, help what's other sneaky shit Ganon's better monsters do??"

Out here looking like Kaidou Shun from Saiki K LMAO

thinkin ur apart of Dark reunion ahh 😭 LMFAOO

Ok ok ill stop making fun of Legend, he's just so Easyyyyy

Hope that was at least somewhat fun ideas for an answer!!

Peace out ✒️,

🌙

[merriclo]

I want to know your LU headcanons!

ohHO i will absolutely tell you tysm for asking!! i’ve been wanting to talk abt them for ages but just never got around to it ig ahjdkcka

Time’s actually like 32 and is just really committed to the bit of being ancient

Sky is horrific at making new friends. he grew up with the same small group of people, so he never learned how to make friends with complete strangers because there simply wasn’t the need to. so, when he first starts traveling with the chain, he makes little wooden charms for them because he isn’t entirely sure how else to get close with them. Zelda always enjoyed his woodcarvings, so maybe they will too??

as a result, the entire chain has little trinkets made by Sky. on Legend’s bag there’s charms hanging off the straps, and Twilight wears his as necklaces (both because it looks cool as fuck and it helps the shadow crystal stand out less). yes Wind has specifically commissioned him to make something for Aryll

yeah yeah bunny Legend but consider: the mermaid suit (which I like to think is more of a curse bc get fished pink man <3) giving him some marine animal qualities as well. no matter what tho that bitch is an Ariel kinnie, they’re collecting all the shiny shit they can find

Sky is obsessed with doing puzzles the Right and Proper way, meanwhile Wild cheeses absolutely everything he can

Wind believes in all of those classic pirate superstitions

the witches in Legend’s era adore him. Grandma Syrup dotes on him, Maple is like a teasing older sister, and Irene is like a teasing younger sister. this is where he learned most of his magic skills from, and he takes all potentially enchanted or cursed items to them to check out. he’ll never admit it, but Legend finds lots of comfort in all of them, as they’re one of the few people who’ve stayed in his life this long.

Wild’s a pretty good medic!! during his adventure, he very quickly realized how dangerous infection is, so they learned about a lot of home remedies and medicinal herbs, as well as how to tend to a wound from other travelers at stables and inns. he didn’t really get a choice in learning, considering how he probably got stung or bit by painful insects or accidentally brushed up against painful plants a lot during the early days of their adventure, and thus showed up to stables covered in rashes and hives and such, causing every decent person in the area to flock to them and try to help. their Hyrule is very sweet, okay?

they’re not the only one who’s well acquainted with medicinal herbs, though! while I think all of them would have a basic understanding, Time, Hyrule, Warriors, and Wind would know a lot. dw i’m elaborating

Time quite literally grew up in the forest, was raised by a tree, and had actual forest spirits for siblings—he knows his plants. he and Saria would peel willow bark and collect dandelions together

I like to think that Hyrule being half-fae makes him very sensitive to all magic-based auras, including that of plants, so they’re very good at picking out the healing herbs, even if they’re not quite sure what they’re called

listen ok hear me out about Warriors. young Time was appalled that he knew jackshit about nature and forcefully taught him. also, before modern medicine, medicinal plants were used all the fucking time on the battle field. yarrow, an herb that stops bleeding and prevents infection, is called soldiers’ woundwort because of this. i mention this because he was probably concerned about the health and safety of his troops, so he learned what the medics were doing and using.

Wind grew up on a small, tight-knit island, realistically they would’ve had to have learned how to use the things around them to their fullest advantage. that being said, his knowledge is sort of useless outside of his own era, aside from what he was taught in the war. ok i’m done talking about medicinal herbs now i promise sorry it’s a hobby of mine ahhsjdka

Legend’s terrified of dogs. in Link’s Awakening, the dogs are literally balls on chains with huge mouths full of sharp teeth (basically just Chain Chomps). if you want to get angsty with it: it comes from guard dogs being sent after him on his first adventure. he became a lot less scared to more he spent time with BowBow (the ball and chain dog) but, when he woke up, he got the belief that he could only be safe around a dog in his dreams. he’s pretty damn uncomfortable around Wolfie at first, but after lots of time and learning to trust Twilight, he’s able to slowly overcome his fear. sort of. mostly just with Wolfie. he still hates staying at stables in Wild’s Hyrule.

if Wild doesn’t want to explain/source something he’ll just say it came to him via divine intervention. Sky believes it every single time

I was thinking about Legend’s story a while ago and realized it was kind of similar to Joan of Arc’s so take that as you will. idk if this even counts as a headcanon but i’m putting it here

Warriors and Twilight are really close friends because they both understand the struggles of wrangling dirt worshipping nature freaks. anytime Twilight (lovingly) complains about Wild, Wars will counter with whatever asinine feral child antics young Time got up to and suddenly Twi will feel very blessed and lucky

whenever Four sees someone with their hair in a high ponytail he subconsciously thinks they’re very smart and respectable because Dot always wears her hair in a high ponytail

Hyrule is completely fine with not sleeping on a bedroll. they like the dirt, actually. let them sleep in the dirt.

Legend uses apples in his red potions, both to increase their potency and to make them taste better. he also learned how to enchant apples to be healing on their own so sometimes when someone’s hurt he’ll just shove an apple in their face

uhh so ik this is a lot but this isn’t even close to of all my headcanons so yeah there’s that lmao

[aur0ralights]

OOH WHAT IS Hyrule gets attacked for being a good person?? 👀 My baby who hurt him >:(

ALSO I dare you to share Time is not dad, he is magic claw 👀👀👀👀

oh yeah! that's a superhero AU idea i had where like, both villain and hero sides kinda use Hyrule as a secret healer, but they both don't know that they've hired the same healer, its a whole thing dw about it- but one day this group comes along and is like, 'hey, a healer? nah, ours' and just kidnaps him. both hero and villain sides work together to save him :)

(its probably a bit obvious who hurt him- cough cough DINK cough cough) some spoilers on whose on which side! - legend is a villain, he'd be very stubborn with his morality to side with heroes- he enjoys the freedom of being a vigilante, though he is only classified as a villain because he refuses to work with the heroes. (in the other superhero AU, hyrule is legends henchman- but theyre buddies- this one isn't that superhero AU, so shhhh) - wild and twilight are a duo, theyre hero/vigilantes? idk yet, still working it out ngl - sky is a hero that goes by the name of 'lightning storm', he ofc, can harness lightning and electrons in the air (and probably in electronics? havent figured that far out yet)

- wind is a hero known as 'revenant', he can leave his body and is the hero agency's TOP informant. while outside of his body, i assume he can possess others, dunno yet tho, we'll see lol

- warriors... all i have written down for him is that he can spin attack really good. aiight bet.

- time is a vigilante known as 'fierce deity', he doens't often go onto the field, he's more of an urban legend than anything. the only reason he's classified as a vigilante is because he refuses to talk with either side, and nobody can get hold of who is true identity is either.

- four! four is my favorite one, he makes weapons for all sides, he's honestly just here for the chaos. there are multiple times where heroes and villains have run into eachother while being in his shop and four is very quick to tell them to make up or he wont be selling *EITHER* of them anything.

annnd yeh! knowing me its just gonna end up crying and gathering dust, but its one of those things where i think about it often enough to where it has a document dedicated to all the ideas i come up with xD

(also i tagged u in magic claw time, heheh)

[ramen2jpeg]

Hello I haven’t interacted with you before and I’m really really sorry if I’m being annoying you don’t have to answer this but-

May I ask more about your AU please? I adore links meet aus and love seeing everyone’s different takes on them

Oh u have NO clue what u just unlocked 😭

And its all cool dw abt it!! I have been just aching to talk abt this au i have

So buckle in this one gonna be a ride, and im gonna summarize it to be the shortest i possibly can 😀

So my story starts with the goddess hylia finding that in the current time period shes in, ganon has yet again awoken and is wreaking havoc on today’s hyrule. Only, she finds herself in a predicament because a worthy hero has not been born yet, and she refuses to choose just anyone. She finds herself in a sacred shrine full of stories of heroes past, and in this temple the fierce diety is sealed away, awaiting a new host (new link). She decides to attempt to summon just one link who happens to be Wild. Only, the prayer she is doing goes awry because ganon causes a sudden earthquake that shakes the land and destroys everything in its wake, and this earthquake causes hylia to accidentally summon the fierce deity who is rapidly looking for a host. Upon learning that he was summoned by ganon, the fierce deity summons EVERY link that has a story written in the stained glass of the temple (cue super mario 64 paintings type thing). After a lot of commotion and argument because all of the links are scrambling and frightened after very suddenly being taken from their worlds and timelines, Hylia tells them that she must find the Hero of Today, and it will be a tough decision for her. Upon hearing this, every link stands up to sacrifice themselves to be the host yet again of the fierce deity for this timeline. Only due to their spirits, they all end up getting in a huge argument over who deserves to be the Hero of Today more. After witnessing this act of selfishness, hylia chooses to force them to all work together and gather a fragment of ganon’s essence (and if the link doesnt have a ganon, they gather that villain’s essence anyway since its similar to ganons) from each of their worlds, meaning that they must all go through their adventures again to gather this fragment of ganon. At the end, they will put all the fragments together and create a hylian beast for the fierce deity to take over and defeat ganon.

So cue all the links going in an order through their adventures (the games) again to gather the fragments of ganon. Through these adventures they use their abilities, like Time’s time traveling capabilities so they dont have to start at the very beginning of their adventure, and twilight’s ability of connecting to other worlds and so on and so forth. They have their conflicts amongst each other of course and even fail their tasks twice leading them to have to start all over again. After each of their adventures each link usually comes back a better person (and teary eyed or full on sobbing) and eventually they work together smoothly. After gathering all the fragments of ganon, they come back to the temple to summon the beast with hylia and the fierce deity. The beast alone with the fierce deity alone is just short of defeating ganon, so the links all use their newfound connection to defeat the ganon of today. After he is finished, hylia seals away ganon and uses her abilities to keep him away for good until the next link and zelda are born.

The goddess hylia congratulates the links and sees that they have all truly come back changed. They are all crowned the Heroes of Today, and their legacies will live on for as long as Hylia exists. After a teary goodbye, all the links are returned to their worlds as better people than they were before.

Whew, long story 😅 but i have been having this idea for so long and am lowkey considering turning it into a comic. Zelda is my current hyperfixation, so i may just do it and flesh out these links even more.

Thank u so much for ur ask, i really appreciate it!! 💕💕
