#Other Link Adventures AU

[smilesrobotlover]

Hyrule’s youngest heroes

[amanitacurses]

[lynelsscareme]

Absolutely love how most Links are just. Canonically short kings. The only ones here who would have eclipsed 6ft would have been Squire (Four Swords Adventures Link), Sandy (Gerudo Link, my muse was lacking that day), Manny (Hero of Men, very creative I know), and maybe Beast (Twilight Princess Link).

Except these poor suckers are all from the Bad Timeline, and so most of them die young. I guess it just means Hylia gets a whole heap of her own personal 'Worst Wolverines' to fix her timelines. How convenient for her.

And most inconvenient for every Link here. Poor blighters. At least they make a scarily competent DND party.

An adventure swap comic edit! Redraw? I’m not sure what to call it but I had fun doing it

[fever-project]

I have so many Links Meet ideas that I can’t do because I am already working on three of them. I’ll be sharing just one of them for this post. For now, I’ll be calling it:

The Four of Us

So most of us are familiar with The Hero of the Minish, Link from the Minish Cap, Forger of the Four Sword, all of that. He’s the second hero after that comes after the Hero of the Sky, from Skyward Sword, the Hero of Men coming before MC Link.

So do you remember the Timeshift Stones from SkSw? Yeah, what if MC Link struck one with the Four Sword? And the Minish magic within it reacted to the stone and Mini somehow gets to meet the different owners of the Four Sword. They all get sent to Mini’s time.

Here’s the basic cast:

Forger, from the game The Minish Cap. His sword can create temporary copies of himself that mirror his movements. He’s like, a few years older than after his adventure, around 13 years old. He’s tiny and looks basically the same as he did when he was 10. Hobbies are collecting figurines and napping. Constant bed head hidden underneath his hat. He’s basically the leader.

Team Four, from the game A Link to the Past & Four Swords. His sword can change him into four different “Links,” Gene, Rory, Bo, and Paige. They’re all actually different people that are stuck being Links. This is in reference to the mandatory multiplayer aspect of the game, which I thought it would be neat. They’re represented as fairies when the sword’s power isn’t used. In video game terms, it’s like Gene is the one holding the controller and moving Link around while the other three players are following him around as fairies. Link, the body, is like 14, two years after the original adventure, but the Team are all around 15-18. Some notes, only Gene is okay with being called Link, Rory is the best fighter, Bo is the smart one, and Paige is the girl. They have actual personalities but I don’t feel like talking about them rn

Clover, from the game Four Swords Adventures. His sword can duplicate him into three other Links, Crimson, Navy, and Indigo. They are all effectively a hive mind, having no separate personalities of their own, Clover simply named them all for fun because he’s extremely lonely. He has no family or friends. Princess Zelda is the closest thing he has to a friend, but he always feels really awkward around her. Cause you know, princess. Also he’s like 10 and has just finished his adventure. He’s selectively mute, and completely mute when duplicated.

Yellow, from the Four Swords manga. His sword can split him into four different Links, Green, Red, Blue, and Vio. It’s been a few years after his adventure, he’s 15, you all know this guy. Shadow is also there, in Yellow’s shadow. He can’t speak, and is very invested in messing with everyone in anyway he can. Without Yellow figuring out he’s still alive, of course.

I’m also thinking that eventually they meet the Link to the Past Link, as he did technically have the 4Sword at one point. soooo:

Fixer, from the game A Link to the Past & Four Swords. He has pink hair is trying to figure out the secrets behind the Four Sword. With the help of the Royal Family and his Uncle. He hasn’t gone through the events of the Oracle games yet, or maybe he’s just a different Link altogether? I don’t know yet. But he is like 12-13, he’s not doing anything serious regarding the 4Sword just yet. But he and everyone else are very, very curious about it and the Palace of the Four Sword.

The plot would be Forger trying to help the other Links get back to their own times, real basic, and it would have a pretty lighthearted tone overall.

That’s just about it. Maybe I’ll draw these guys eventually, but I dunno what else lol.

[vivacious-viridian]

okay we're caught up now, I took a little side quest in the middle of drawing my most recent post on my main (@glitchedfoxx)

I just... I just think these two are very lovely,,

[youmixxx]

Hello you all! I'm Youmi, and in case you have yet to learn about me, I've been around the FS community for a while, just not as actively as some other more prominent faces on Tumblr. I mainly focus on writing fanfiction, but I plan to extend my skill set in the near future.

Soft Glows is a fanfiction that I devote most of my time and energy to these days. And it actually has an official cover now! Credit goes to the lovely @zarvasace, who did a fantastic job on this book cover! Thank you so much for your contribution! It is very appreciated!

If you are curious, feel free to check out the fic! It is still in progress and will likely be for a longer time. I welcome anyone willing to hop onto this journey with me. It's the first bigger fic I have ever tackled, and I still have many plans that have yet to surface from the confines of my head! I'm excited about where else this piece will take me. It definitely holds a very special place in my heart!

[likeapro42]

So Linked Universe Hyrule Warriors is basically Tiny!Time (Mask) and Wind who end up fighting with Wars during his adventure and sorta mentoring him, right?

Well, I had a hilarious idea: what if Lana was trying to summon the Hero of Legend because of all of his exploits and experience, but she kept missing and that’s why Wind, Mask, Ravio, Marin and everyone else that’s Legend-adjacent shows up instead?

[3xm-draconic]

SHOUT OUT: to the JJBA community remember Jole?

yeah i kinda forgot about my boy Jole Jovi Jostar, i reread some of my old stuff on him and...Iam gonna redo it, namely give him a full part in at least 3 episodes and see how an au of p3 would go with Jole, stay tuned!

(btw the hellboy fanfic is on ao3 i'll link it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/57101497/chapters/145228846 )

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.

This is why Sky thinks he’s the only normal person in this group (he’s not)
