The chains most powerful members in each category
This is a top 3 list. There are different categorys and I'll be explaining my reasoning for each links placement.
Physical strength
Twilight
I shouldnt have to explain this one, raised on a farm, he carrys around heavy objects with ease, has enough power to wrestle and defeat full grown Gorons. And yeah, he used the metal boots but that was just for his weight. He has the strength to wrestle approximately 150 pounds of rock. All with no strength boosters.
Wild
My man needs the upper body strength for both climbing and leaping up mountains, holding all his body weight on the paraglider for long stretches of time, and carrying heavier objects. He's got nothing on twilight and his goron wrestling but he can hold his own.
Wind
This one might come as a surprise but makes sense if you think about it. Wind comes next with his history of needing strength when it comes to sailing, and also pulls stunts like hanging by his hands off narrow cliffs, and picking up weapons twice his body weight with relative ease. (He doesn't weigh that much which makes the last one seem a little less impressive)
Combat skills
Time
Honestly, I was going to put twilight here because I just love the combat mechanics in that game. But I'm trying not to be biased and after some thought, technically time taught twilight everything he knows, therefore this spot goes to time.
Wild
&
Warriors
I was torn between warriors and wild for second, for the reasons that, Warriors had to be good enough to be a war captain, but then wild was Zelda's personal body guard and bested full grown man at about 8. The spot would go to wild, if I was sure how the memory thing worked. Cause it depends whether he remembers how to fight like that or not. But eventually I decided Wild, exceeds in strategy, he has to learn how to quickly and quietly take his opponent down with out causing to much damage to him self. Where as warriors it is just brute strength and training
Magic (I'm not counting items or gifted power like the Champions abilities or midnas warping)
Hyrule
He can turn into a fairy and heal people as well as all his other magic shenaniganry. (I'm not well informed about his magic stuff)
Time
time can turn into the hero's shade and technically the golden wolf as well, without assistance.
Legend
He can turn into a rabbit that's his main thing excluding all items, the bar was set way higher then I meant to put it but legend got the qualifications (barely)
Agility (items+power included)
Wild
Flurry rushes, parrys, bullet time, insane stamina. He jumps on lynals backs mid fight, gets bucked off, and still lands on his feet. Also hes one of the few links who can jump.
Twilight
Wild form: big jumps, Overall speed, his jumping ability in wolf form can jump much farther then a normal person
Human form: backflips, quick in general then we have the fact that he's just very agile in general as a person.
Legend
Pegasus boots, Roc’s feather, legend is also one of the few links who can both sprint and jump. And arguably more impressive, he can do both at the same time, allowing for much larger leaps.
IQ
Sky
Sky is the only link to have any sort of formal education at the Knight's Academy. So we can assume that he would be the most intelligent of the Links.
Twilight
With how difficult the puzzles were and the fact that he pieced together a entire forgotten language, we can assume twilight is pretty smart. Despite that, he had hardly any education. Making him outshined by sky.
Hyrule
Hyrule Becomes a skilled sorcerer in Zelda 2. And completes both quests with only a handful of hermits vaguely telling him the direction of where to go.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

"Well, this is a bad idea," Tim says, hands on his hips as he surveys the mess they’ve made in the cave.
"Nah," Danny replies, twirling his screwdriver in the air in what is probably meant to be an impressive trick to inspire confidence, except he fumbles it and it clangs to the floor loudly, "we good. If a younger version of myself hasn't come forward in time to stop me, how bad can it be?"
"Shouldn't it be the other way round?"
"What?"
"Normally, it's an older version of yourself going backwards in time to stop you, right?"
"Not in my experience."
Danny's grin is impossibly feral and a shiver runs up Tim's spine.
"This is definitely a bad idea."

was gonna make a joke about this and have this be a shitpost instead but honestly may pass out soon so I'll type this seriously cause I have no energy to come up with a clever joke
it's interesting how vox's insults in stayed gone are literally just different ways of saying "you're old and outdated you're old and outdated you're old and outdated you're old and outda" tackled with a bit of "you're a coward" in there, whereas alastor's insults are not jabs at vox being new or modern tech, but rather his practices, "clout-chasing mediocre video podcast" he's saying he's a pandering, attention-seeking sellout, and he targets at vox's insecurities, questions his power, then makes fun of him for still being salty about his rejection.
I feel like it's pretty telling how vox's insults are just SO shallow, while alastor's cut deeper and more personally. while you could say, alastor may be just better at roasting than vox, I feel like it could also tell you something about alastor's hatred of vox being based on actual reason, which makes sense, he is the one who rejected the idea of being on a team with vox, the one who decided to make the decision to step away from their friendship. there were likely legitimate things about vox that alastor started to notice he didn't like.
whereas vox's hatred is extremely petty, he's still pissy over that rejection, he has no reasonable reason to hate on alastor's practices or medium. literally ALL he has is constantly repeating how tv is better and newer and how radio is worse and older, that he literally uses that SAME snap back even after alastor has his part "what a dated voice!" "you're looking at the future! he's the shit that comes before that!". he has NOTHING on alastor. if you asked him to make a list about what he hated about alastor he would probably just give you 10000 synonyms of "he's old and outdated" and be unable to come up with anything non-superficial. because the falling out on his part, from his perspective, was being rejected. and after that, BLIND RAGE. he hates alastor. he does. but he can't reasonably tell you why.

“A place once filled with love”
[More doodles below the cut!]
Grips the camera
YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW BADLY I WANTED TO DOODLE THIS ISTG—
Narinder and Lamb pay a visit to the old shrine of souls (temple of the gods of death), things go as well as you’d expect. Aka, PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PART OF THE AU—you guys have no idea how much this specific…arc? Scene? Chapter? Uh…part of the story means to me. LIKE OUGHHH ILL PROBABLY HAVE THIS ENTIRE PART WRITTEN OUT BEFORE WE EVEN REACH HALF THE AU—Ft. A very obvious reference that is going to become very important to the story.
So usually context would be pretty important to understand what’s going on here…but uhm. All I’m gonna say is that before being taken in by the bishops, Narinder spent the first years of his path to godhood in the care of the then goddess of death, also known as the “crimson witch”..but as you know, old gods have to fall for new ones to arise, and she was no exception…And that’s all for now.
Oh boy, this week has been actually relaxing—but I’m boutta go back to classes 💀 which means regular art posting is ✨likely over✨ sigh. Still—I’ll do my best to keep ya’ll fed sjdjdjdndnd until then—enjoy this post :] cuz I REAAAALLY had a blast drawing it haha.

WHITE RASHOMON TIME
The first time we ever see Akutagawa use rashomon on any other item of clothing except his black coat (in the main manga series), it's this scene.
He uses his shirt, which even Atsushi is surprised by because even if he knows it can happen, this is the first time he (and we the audience) has seen this happen.
And it's so important that rashomon is white in this situation. We all know the symbolism behind red = 'bad' and blue = 'good' (with nuance, since the port mafia has done good before), but black and white is also a significant color scheme. Atsushi's predominant colors are white because he is on the 'good' side, but he has black in his color scheme too because he has that dark past. Meanwhile Akutagawa is predominantly black, but he has some white in his color scheme. He's not pure evil.
The Beast universe leans into this color symbolism heavily, since Akutagawa's color scheme there isn't white but grey. Beast!Aku wasn't as 'good' as main universe Atsushi since he still has that darker mindset that he has to grow out of.
WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO WHITE RASHOMON
The first time we see Akutagawa use Rashomon on any other clothing besides the black coat--the coat that Dazai gave to him as a welcome symbol into the Port Mafia-- he uses his white shirt. And the first time he uses a white rashomon, he didn't use it to attack. It was entirely to sacrifice himself and save Atsushi.
Akutagawa has saved Atsushi many times before obviously. Dragging him off the Moby Dick, working together during the cannibalism arc, etc. But in all those scenarios, he was never putting himself on the line to do it. He either had nothing to lose by saving Atsushi, or mutually benefited from it.
But this time? He knew he was going to die, he knew what it meant, he never intended to be the survivor. And he did it anyway. Some people have theorized that this was still for personal reasons (that he believed this is how he proves his worth to Dazai) but it doesn't change the fact that this was an act purely of saving. It is so fitting that Rashomon was white at that moment.
