The only LU boys I'd actually properly drawn so far (other than that one piece with everybody) was Triple Threat, plus a little bit of Ravio, so I thought it'd be fun to try drawing a completely different trio this time!!

So the War of Eras brothers it was.

(additional notes and stuff under the cut)

I personally headcanon the War of Eras to have pre-LU Wars and Time (ofc) and then post-LU Wind. I think that's just a fun interesting dynamic (and I'm planning on drawing a short comic about it soon whoops).

And one of my friend's favorites is Warriors so that was another motivator whoops.

Since I've recently been trying out all sorts of different types of lighting, I tried to go for dappled lighting for piece!! I... don't know how well it worked out, but I did try, at least.

(Fun lore thoughts I had: I usually draw Wars with an eyebrow piercing - but since this is pre-LU he's without. And Wind, post-LU, gets an eyebrow piercing. I think it'd be kinda funny if they inspired each other's eyebrow piercings.)

Who should I draw next?

I love the pairing of the two least qualified to tackle dungeons, It’s all I’ve been thinking about

[labyrinthdancer]

IT’S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THESE.

[mirensiart]

hi, miry! popping in to say that I think your art style is absolutely darling, and you're one of the only people I can trust to get WW Link/Wind right lol! not to mention the dynamic with HW Link/Warriors (I am an unapologetic war trio propagandist heheh).

MY POINT IS THAT YOUR WORK IS GORGEOUS AND I APPRECIATE YOU! Thanks for sharing your work with everyone! Cheers!

thank you SO MUCH 💖🥹

your message made me so happy, I had to draw wind+wars bonding, you inspired me 🤲🏻💕

Let’s talk about Warriors and Wild

This was another “weird” pairing that came out of the latest update.

You’d think that the two with no dungeon experience should each be paired with someone more experienced, right? Well, Warriors isn’t really thinking about that. He has a different motive for choosing Wild to team up with, and no, it’s not because he’s “mad” at him. The reason actually reveals a lot about both of their characters, and displays a great deal of character growth on Warriors' part specifically.

Deep dive under the cut!

Okay first off, let’s get something out of the way. Just because Warriors and Wild have no traditional dungeon experience, that doesn’t make them ill-equipped. Warriors has tons of combat experience and is demonstrably very intelligent. And Wild? Sure he didn’t have traditional dungeons in BotW, but you know what he did have? Puzzles. A TON of puzzles. That guy can do puzzles in his sleep. I highly doubt that he’s gonna have trouble with dungeon puzzles once he figures out how to approach them (which won’t take long).

All right, now that we have that cleared up, moving on!

From the very beginning, Wars holds great respect for Wild:

Because at the start of the adventure, Warriors doesn't realize just how different he is from the others. He gets put with a bunch of guys who share his name and his spirit, so of course he thinks his experience isn’t unique. They’re all just like him, right?

Okay, uh, maybe not? But they still can’t be that different, Warriors thinks. Sky is also a knight, and he acts exactly the way Warriors expects a knight to act.

He catches onto plans immediately:

And follows through flawlessly:

It’s not about authority and Sky’s ability to follow orders. It’s about the fact that Sky is on the same page. He went to military school. He has extensive training. He knows what to do and when, with barely any prompting, because he’s been taught to think the same way Warriors thinks. Warriors and Sky work together perfectly because of this:

But with Wild? Warriors is expecting the exact same thing with Wild, a fellow knight, but what he gets from the Champion is far from what he gets with Sky. This is very unexpected for Warriors. He gives what he thinks is a clear directive:

“Clear out the rest” to Warriors and Sky means “get rid of all the little guys so we can focus on the big guy.” Solid strategy. But Wild does not interpret this the same way, because he does not remember his military training and therefore any of the strategy he was taught. “Clear out the rest” just means get rid of everyone to him. And he decides to eliminate the biggest threat first. It’s important to note here that he’s not “defying orders” because his emotions are getting the better of him, or even because he thinks he shouldn't have been given orders. The way he sees it, he is following orders. Warriors said “clear out the rest.” And that’s what Wild’s helping to do. But then afterwards? Warriors is angry!

The plan? What plan? There was no plan! The goal was just to get rid of everyone! Why does it matter if Wild took out the big guy before the little guys?

It’s at this point that Wild realizes he’s done something wrong, but he doesn’t know what he’s done wrong. (Any other neurodivergent folks here? If so, yeah, you know how this feels. I know I do.)

It’s clear through subsequent interactions that Wild genuinely does not understand what the problem is:

He thought he made the right move, but others don’t seem to think so. He’s already emotional, and this is just adding more fuel to the fire. He snaps, starts a fight with Four, and runs off still feeling confused.

Meanwhile, Warriors is also confused. Why didn’t Wild act the way Warriors thought he would? He’s a knight, right? Why did he do what he did, and how did he not understand that his choice of strategy was incorrect after?

And it’s not just Wild that Warriors failed to read correctly; the others are clashing with him too. Case in point, Twilight’s refusal to hang back after being injured:

In the aftermath of the battle, it’s at this point that Warriors makes a realization: he’s the one who made a mistake. He had preconceived expectations of people, and that ended up majorly backfiring on him.

Warriors knows that he can't be a good teammate - and a good leader - if he doesn't understand where his companions are coming from. Again, it's not about authority, it's about being on the same page. Ever since, he has been trying to seek better understanding. Maybe Wild doesn't feel comfortable taking orders from Warriors, and only listens to those he knows well?

But Twilight said, "No he doesn't." Huh. Okay. Well, maybe Warriors can try to get inside Wild's head? Let's try some bantering! These guys love to banter!

Oops. Fumble. That didn't go well. But hey, at least Wild seems to have figured out what he did wrong!

That's a step in the right direction! Okay, they're getting somewhere, Warriors thinks.

But Wild is really down on himself. He now realizes that he misinterpreted a directive that he should have understood. And thinks that Warriors thinks he's stupid, and hates him. (Again, where my neurodivergent peeps at? Yeah. That feeling.)

Meanwhile, things are becoming clearer to Warriors. Not only does he realize that he shouldn't have viewed his teammates through his own preconceived notions, but for the first time, he also realizes just how different his experience was from everyone else's:

He realizes he's got a LOT of learning to do. His discordance with Wild is proof of that. But Wild has never been in a dungeon either. Maybe this is their chance to connect? Warriors tries once again to get inside Wild's head. Maybe he can try to understand why Wild isn't approaching this dungeon the way Warriors would:

Aaaaand Wild froze up. Dang it. Warriors isn't getting anything. He really needs to figure out what's going wrong here so they can work together. It's for both of their benefit, and the group's benefit as a whole. They need to get on the same page so that they can not only fight together, but be good friends to each other. And when the opportunity arises to team up one-on-one, Warriors jumps at it! This is the perfect opportunity, he thinks!

But right now? Wild doesn't realize that. He thinks that Warriors is mad at him. Warriors is NOT mad at him. Warriors is trying to learn, to better himself, and to forge a connection.

And I believe that even though it's been a bumpy road, we're going to see some amazing growth between Warriors and Wild in the future.

Hello! It's my first time asking, so forgive me if it isn't the right place,

Since seeing the moment between Time and Wind (Timeline talk), I do wonder what your interpretation would be if a similar moment happened between Time and Legend! Sorry if it's too much, and thank you! God bless!

(P.S. if you need info, Legend only comes in if Time loses in the official timeline)

Hi Hi!!! Don’t worry about it, this was the right spot to ask! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the request. I’m really happy you wanted to see how I’d handle this scenario!

But I’ll elaborate a bit below in case my comic doesn’t translate my thoughts well enough:

I believe that with something as heavy as the topic of timelines, legend would do a lot of internal battling with his thoughts and feelings on the matter. He isn’t the type of person to just jump out and blurt his feelings to another individual. But when he does, it’s more of a softer and genuine conversation. To me he is someone who would also need more evidence before addressing a heavy topic such as this. So to put it shortly, I think they will eventually talk but legend would need far more time to himself to mull over his words.

(In this comic, he does come to the realization that time may have potentially passed in his timeline. But his mind is also juggling with all the whats and whys of the situation.)

Btw I’ve been a Zelda fan for years so there is no need to worry about any lore related stuff when requesting

[skullkidxv]

Yesss more of their duo content whatever that means

I’ll also post this comic version to idk capture the frames better ig

[inumbrapugnabimus-maybe]

For your art requests, could you draw Wars and Twi just hangin out? Maybe looking for cool rocks?

- crazylittlejester

[cyanferret21]

Child of lightning AU

A perfect future where no one hides any secrets from one another and everyone is happy! Just chilling together as a Chain (feat. Brea the fairy) ))

One day, one day, my bois)

Also Wild showing off his dragon athleticism and skill with bow and arrow) Show off!

[socialc1imb]

He is special to me.

Do NOT repost my art without asking / without credit.

[ereighna]

Something else I noticed about Wars and fairies. The fairies only really physically touch him. The others seem to have them float around but Wars they snuggle up.

They do fuss over Time, but not touch. Edit: they do land on Time, I missed that in my excitement.

Also, Four, chill.

Times that the chain forgot Wolfie is Twilight (Fluff for day 3 of Febuwhump)

Here's some fluff to soothe the soul.

Wind 

Was super tired that day 

Saw Wolfie laying down and flopped on top of the wolf

Sailor was asleep as soon as his head was resting on Wolfies side 

Twilight didn't mind, but he definitely doesn't prefer it 

It becomes a regular occurrence later, much to his chagrin 

(he doesn't really mind that much, he's just keeping up appearances)

 Warriors 

Wakes up from a nightmare 

Ends up cuddling with Wolfie 

Maybe cries a little bit 

Twilight politely doesn't bring it up the next morning 

He does keep a careful eye on Wars the next day and offers silent support 

Four 

He doesn't forget as often as the others might 

But every so often he finds himself idly scratching Wolfies ears 

Red does it most out of the colors 

But they all do it

Twilight doesn't mind 

He low-key enjoys it from time to time

Hyrule 

 Rulie sometimes forgets Twilight is Wolfie

And that Wolfie is a nice wolf 

He has startled in a sleepy state and drawn his sword on Wolfie before 

Twilight takes note to approach slower as Wolfie 

Or just transform back to his hylian form 

He would never hold it against Rulie, he understands that wolves are not the nicest  

Time 

He lives on a ranch

He for sure has been around farm dogs 

When he's super focused/distracted he’ll give Wolfie commands 

The one that got the most laughs was when Wolfie/Twi was trying to snap Time out of his own head

And Time on impulse told Wolfie “No bite.” 

Neither lived that down for a while 

Legend 

He also wakes from a nightmare 

Lege decides that he needs a walk and Wolfie goes with 

He ends up venting at some point 

Twilight never mentions the stuff Legend said that night

But makes sure that Wolfie is there to supervise more late night walks as they seem to help 

Sky

Completely forgets that Twilight is Wolfie 

Baby talk 

Skritches 

Treats 

Praise 

The whole nine yards

Twilight learns to appreciate it, despite the others teasing 

It's kind of nice to get praise just for existing sometime 

Wild 

Wild almost never forgets 

However, if injured or really out of it, he completely forgets 

Wolfie becomes like his companion in his era 

Subject to all the cuddles and silly questions and weepy venting 

Wild has admitted to Wolfie his fear of disappointing Twilight 

Twi always makes sure to reassure Wild when he's more aware of reality

This song is theirs

ok, so, I don't really know how to edit, but I wanted to make something of them with this song, and of course I had to draw, after all, at least I know how to do that! :)
