LINKED UNIVERSE HEADCANONS BECAUSE FUCK YOU

(mostly wild, time, twilight, sky, and wind centric cuz those are the main games i've played)

they're all trans

people think that time is the dad of the group but nah. it's twilight

four uses "we/us" pronouns (they/them but actually plural)

wild will either cook the most delicious fucking food you've ever seen in your goddamn life or a pile of rocks (canon)

wind can see ghosts. they all know this. however, sometimes he'll say that there's a spooky ghost when there's not just to freak them out (wild knows. he doesn't say shit bc it's funny)

sky can cook one (1) dish and it's pumpkin soup (he learned after he had to work at the lumpy pumpkin to repay them for breaking shit) (everything else he makes is inedible)

most of them are nonverbal (bc autism and also ptsd)

you'd think that time knows sign language but NO because he grew up in a forest around fairies who don't have? visible hands?? i think?? (he learns sign from wild)

also i've seen people say that time Doesn't Cuss which is simply Not True. let him say fuck. he deserves to say fuck.

the only one of them who doesn't cuss is probably sky. but there are exceptions

actually no i take it back. that fucker says fuck too

All Of Them Should Say Swear Words

please they're so tired just let them say fuck

the ones who have a hookshot are ecstatic to tell the ones without a hookshot about the joys of using it (ex: sky showing it off to wild, who has stars in his eyes, talking about how it'd make climbing in the rain so much easier)

speaking of sky and wild- the realize that there's a merchant named beetle in both of their eras. weird as shit. sky is like "wtf" but wild kinda just nods and goes "yeah okay why not sounds about right tbh"

nightmares

nightmares

have i mentioned nightmares? because they all have nightmares

also nearly all of them have had Queer Encounters and they vent about it!!

sky talking about how ghiriham was UNFAIRLY hot

twilight still sad over midna :( (they're gay btw don't question it they just are)

(wind is an exception bc. he's a fuckin child)

wild lowkey bein like "yeah tbh.... ganondorf before he was mummified?"

time has a wife. time loves his wife

wasn't there that one ship with hyrule/ravio?? haven't played that game so idk but they seem gay (edit: oop it was legend/ravio not hyrule/ravio lololol)

fuck what was this post about again?

they all sleep with a weapon under their pillow (or with no pillow!! just weapon! :] )

some of them (sky) are very heavy sleepers while others (time) are very light sleepers

it's a nice balance because twilight and wild will wake up at the ass crack of dawn and then wind won't wake up until noon. they make a schedule

people also portray them as being So Fucking Awkward but i disagree. have you PLAYED a zelda game? these fuckers will waltz into town, fix every single person's problems, and become the new village icon in the span of two hours. they're so fucking friendly omfg

like these fuckers have fought MONSTERS they've fought DRAGONS and CORPSES and the KING OF EVIL they ain't afraid of a little human interaction (except when they are)

hylia will throw them in a room together and they'll all be like "hi!! :] am link i go hyah" "omg no way me too!! :0 look at my shiny sword and my bag of bombs" "sick"

sky would be like so fucking guilty like "im sorry i failed and got cursed by a demon king guys :(((" and everyone else would be like "oh nah don't even worry about it lmao happens to all of us"

maybe i'll make a pt 2 once i finish my homework who knows

[lu-twilight-is-best-boy]

Hello Twilie! I wanted to make a suggestion but as I was scrolling through your ,will write and will not write, sections I realized that there was no mention of wether your okay with people asking for poly relation ships or not.

If you are okay with it, can I request a guide-like fem!Reader with Legend and Ravio? It’s romantic and reader is a huge book nerd (she owns a book or potions shop???? IDK)

If you aren’t ok with it than you can ignore this ask.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this ask, Remember to drink water and rest well today.

Hi 👋 😃 also I am perfectly okay with writing poly relationships (I am poly myself actually) so I was super excited when I seen this request 😄, also I have updated my Info Post (you can find it here) to include more stuff(like poly relationships for example) so it will hopefully be more helpful to people anyways thanks for the ask, i tried to the best of my ability to follow your request as much as possible, also I've never written anything with Ravio before so he maybe a teeny tiny bit out of character, but I hope you enjoy it

Warnings: does fluff count?, cuteness, writer attempting at something cute and romantic, poly relationship, fem reader, reader is a good witch/sorceress who owns a store, reader calls Legend link, not proofread(I've been trying to get in contact with my friend who proofreads things for me but I wasn't able to)

Summary: you run a shop in the town close to the house you share with Legend and Ravio, selling everything from books to herbs to potions you name it you probably have it, and on this particular day your two favorite customers stop by to do some shopping

You looked out the window of your shop while leaning on the counter as you watched people walk by if you were being honest with yourself today was kind of a slow day you haven't had very many customers today outside of maybe the occasional old lady or gentleman needing something for their aches and pains as well as the occasional mother coming in because her child or baby had a stomach ache or needed something to help them sleep better at night honestly if it wasn't for those you probably wouldn't have had any business at all today.

You we're about to leave the counter to tidy up and organize the shelves of your little shop when as you turned your head away from the window out of the corner of your eye you caught a glimpse of something purple with something blue next to it and smiled, you turned around and went back to your spot leaning against the counter.As the door to your shop opened with a jingle because of the bell hanging above the top of the door and your two favorite customers (*cough* boyfriends *cough*) in all of Hyrule walked in Ravio was his usual happy chatty self chattering away at Legend who had his arms crossed and was looking at Ravio as if he could will the purple clad male to stop talking just by staring at him Ravio as usual ignored the look Legend was giving him and continued talking, while Legend's usual sullen mood had changed to one of slight amusement.

"Alright Ravio calm down" Legend said as he entered the shop completely, "aye aye Mr. Hero" Ravio replied with a mock salute

You giggle at Ravio's antics before you smile and wave as you greet the two "hello Legend, Ravio, how are you both doing today?"

"Fine, a little tired from all the training I've been doing lately but I suppose it's only normal after all the excitement and all" Legend replies with a slight smile Ravio nods his bunny hood bobbing with the action "yep Mr. Hero has been working really hard" He says with a wink and a tilt of his head towards you

Before he runs off to gather the herbs he needs to make his oil, leaving Legend at the counter with you

Legend rolls his eyes as Ravio runs around the shop gathering herb after herb, he shakes his head and then turns back to you

"He's been like this all day" you laugh and smile "that's Ravio for ya, so Link i can see what Ravio came for but what about you what do need"

"I need some healing potions and maybe a new book since I've finished reading the last one already"

"I see, well let me go get the potions for you and i'll be right back, okay?"

Legend nods in response as you head towards the back to get the healing potions that Legend needs as he goes to look for a new book. You quickly grab the healing potions and start heading back to the counter when you hear Ravio's voice calling to you.

"____!"

"Yeah Ravio?."

"Me and Mr. Hero have something to ask you when you get done!"

You feel your ears perk up "Me? What do you want to ask me?"

"Ah ah ah ____, you have to wait tell you get done, we're customers right now and Mr. Hero is waiting at the counter" Ravio says with a giggle

You sigh and roll your eyes, sometimes you swear that he does things like this on purpose "fine, just tell me after you have everything you need"

"You got it ____!" Ravio calls out as he goes back to running around and grabbing herbs, you get back to the counter where Legend is waiting. You place the healing potions on the counter and lean against it with a sigh as Legend sets a book down next to the potions "that all you getting this time Link?" Legend nods "yeah, I'm going to wait for Ravio to get done before i buy everything" you smile at Legend "that's fine!, probably be easier that way anyways you both get done with your shopping at the same time, and I get to find out what you both wanted to talk to me about" you say the last part of your sentence while leaning closer towards Legend "hmm" he replies as Ravio comes running to the counter and places all of the herbs that he grabbed down onto the counter

"Alright so Link's things are first, so eight healing potions at 28 Rupees a pace plus the book is 48 Rupees, let's 100 Rupees yeah?" You say as you hold out your hand for payment but Legend frowns "That's not right it should be 266 Rupees not 100"

"normally it would be but you get the special boyfriend discount" you reply and giggle as Legend's face turns a little pink with a blush as he hands you the Rupees you requested, "what about me? Do i get the special boyfriend discount?" Ravio asks while pushing the herbs forward, you giggle again "yes Ravio you get the discount to, which means your normal 100 Rupees purchase is now 30 Rupees"

"Thank you so much ____!" Ravio says as he hands you the Rupees, you take them and put them away with the rest before walking around the counter so it was no longer separating you from your boyfriends

"So what is it you to wanted to tell me, i mean Ravio did say i would find out when i was done and i am done now" you ask Legend "so are you going to tell me?"

"I suppose so" Legend says "we were wondering if you could close up the shop early and come home, maybe we could sit under the tree behind the house and read or just relax"

"Sure!, I can close up shop and go home early, it's no problem!" You say smiling as you run of to tidy up just a little extra bit before closing up the shop

"That's Great!" Ravio says as he begins to gather all of the herbs that he bought off of the counter and walks outside with Legend as you lock the door to your shop "so let's get going then, you ready to go home ____?" You run over to Legend and Ravio who are waiting just a little ways away from the door to your shop as you step between them and grab Legends hand in your left and Ravio's in your right "yes I'm ready the shops all locked up!" You say as you begin to walk away from the shop, leading the two of them along the road. You and your boyfriends follow the road from the store all the way out of town and to the house where you live, you all chatted and laughed during the walk as you enjoyed each others company and it was nice to have the time to do so, especially with Legend prone to running off and going on adventures where you and Ravio might not see or hear from him for months at a time, so the time that the three of you did spend together was a nice break from what has become routine.

When you arrive at the house you live in, you all go around to the back where you find the tree that Legend wanted to relax under. Only for you to gasp in surprise at the picnic that Ravio and Legend had set up under the tree before going and getting you. "What do you think of it?" Legend asks as he watches you, he's now sitting down on the picnic blanket and props his feet up on a small rock that juts out from the tree

"Do you like our surprise ____?" Ravio asks as he guides you over to sit down between him and Legend

"Of course I like it, it's lovely!" you reply as you lean back against Ravio and Legend moves to lie down with his head in your lap, "You two made this for me?"

"We wanted to surprise you with something nice" Legend says while stroking his thumb across the back of your hand and looking up at you. "Yeah!, we love you ____!" Ravio says as he leans forward slightly and places a kiss on your cheek

"I love you both too!" you say smiling as you lean forward and give Legend a quick peck on the lips then you turn and do the same to Ravio before leaning back against Ravio again and resting your hand on Legend's chest "This is nice, being able to relax here with the two of you, it makes me feel really happy" you say while looking up at the clouds as Legend reads his new book out loud for you and Ravio "we love being able to relax with you to ____!, right Mr. Hero?" Ravio says while running his hand through your hair

"Yeah, it makes a nice change from running around looking for monsters" Legend says while continuing to read his book.

You stay under the tree for a good hour just enjoying the moment and listening to Legend as he reads to you and Ravio, Legend will occasionally stop reading to elaborate or explain a part that might be confusing. This isn't something he has to do very often but it's still nice that he takes time to do so and you both appreciate it.

As you listen to Legend read and Ravio ask him the occasional question you feel your eyes start to closeyou lean back and just enjoy the company of your boyfriends, as you drift off to sleep. Eventually Legend finishes his book and closes it so he can put it down. he looks up and smiles at the sight of you and Ravio leaning on each other as you sleepHe sits his book off to the side as he sets up to lean on your other shoulder and join you and Ravio's napping in the backyard with the tree to watch over the three of you

The Snail From the New Update!!!!!!!!!!!

🌹 for you!

I love the Legend of Zelda and Linked Universe! Also I don't dislike any of the Links, and Legend is pretty much tied for favorite with Time for me. Really just depends on my mood or something (or how recently I've played one of their games).

Consider the following: Golden Sword FI

Froggie

i wanna see shadow in the comic so fucking badly jojo please 😭

One time I was playing the og Loz and I couldn't find the second dungeon to go to but I managed to find the second last dungeon or something by running past a horde of lynels and I managed to bs my way through half of it until I got stuck in a room with an enemy I had to kill to leave but wasn't able to kill with my lack of tools and it couldn't kill me so I had to restart the whole game and I haven't played since. Also if you attack a cucco in Twilight Princess, it doesn't attack you; instead you become the cucco for a few seconds and can flap around and scream

Do u like Mac and cheese

yeah twilight princess is my favourite game and i haven’t played it but in my defence i’m a goth

the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DX remake of the song "Sky Tower" bangs and you should check it out (if you want)

Four is all but canonically the spirit of the Four Sword, and there's so much evidence for it in his games and even his personality in LU, but I feel like this is underrepresented in people's headcanons because people don't know as much about Four.

i hope youre having a good day <33 -@soul-of-rei

Fun Fact: The “Ballad Of The Windfish” from Link’s Awakening is in the melody of the Hyrule Castle main theme (outdoors) for some reason snd I noticed it like yesterday and I can’t tell if they did this with consideration for lore or if they just used it because the Ballad Of The Windfish only shows up in one game and is therefore a less well known and less likely to be noticed detail so they reused the song to not have to make a new song. On the other hand, TP and SS were two other games remastered for Switch and beyond simple convenience both games have a lot of interesting details that show up in and add to botws lore so maybe Link’s Awakening has significance to botw or botw 2 too and no one noticed hrmmmmm sorry this became an unintended theory ramble

Why does ganon hate the internet? There are too many links hehehehe

Tell your followers they're amazing!!! - Nayra

I really like linked universe. There’s so much room for creativity in the fandom. I love to see all the different interpretations of Link! :)

Vultures throw up when they feel threatened

We got a new kitten, his name is Maui, and he likes head boops. This has nothing to do with LU but I thought it was important.

the ocean is soup. this is an undeniable fact.

This section I like to call "gushing over the various Links"

i don't think enough people realize that wind killed a man

I love wind so much he's my little guy I wanna pay for his college tuition

Wind deserves much more attention in the fandom he's my little pirate dude

Shout out to my boy Hyrule for being so cute

#BringSkyBackFromTheGasStation

Wind is best boy

Wolfie is best boy

Wild is my comfort for my mental health. I guess I project?

Grandaddy Wolfie >>>>

The fact I could only choose one favourite hurt, I was here for like 3 minutes deciding who to pick between Sky and Warrior's :'D

spent a solid 10 minutes trying to decide who i could say was my least favourite link because i love them all so much

And I'm not pasting the whole thing in here, but let it be known that the entire bee movie script, the wikipedia page for the chair, and the fitness gram pacer test were submitted

[ageless-soul-au]

ah, tumblr is always eating my asks- i was basically just talking about how im making my own Links meet au and realized my Legend’s tunic looks very similar to yours, and was wondering if you guys are okay with that?(I discovered your guys au after design) like I said before, if no totally im fine with changing it ^^ i was basing it off a thing I saw on deviantart for alttp tunic alts (i also asked in the ask if I was allowed to add Wars/Leg/Marin/Ravio to it? (minus Nadea since she’s yours ofc)

I think we took the same inspiration from that deviantart post gxbxgdjsn definitely free reign on that

Ships are ships!! Most people characterize these people very differently than us (Warriors especially, most interpretations tend to be a lot sassier and overall more confident than asau wars)

So as long as there's enough differences in characterization and it's not the same over arching plot (which I doubt bc we've barely gotten into the main plot) then I'm more than fine with it! We're not the only people that ship Warriors/Legend and we're DEFINITELY not the only people that ship Legend/Ravio/Marin and we just threw those together for endgame poly shenanigans.

All of that being said, I'd love to see it when you start putting stuff out! Good luck!

-Kio

[bringingtherain]

Do you have anymore headcanons for Ravio/Shadow? I absolutely adore that ship now that you’ve got me hooked on it 🥺💗

Ahhhhhhhh thank you!! Of course I have more headcanons! 💕💕

Ravio may be a coward, but he is very protective of Shadow. He got really mad when the Links got weary of Shadow.

"So what? He looks like one of you guys so he is a 'Dark Link'? Am I one too? What if I called you all 'Albino Ravio'? Stupid right?"

Shadow is too dumb to realize he likes Ravio. He will definitely need help to deal with it.

I usually don't like drama but... Shadow still feels hurt for being betrayed, and he tells Ravio about it. He says that, even tho he understands why Vio did it, it still hurts, and how badly he hates traitors because of that, and how much he appreciates Ravio's presence. Ravio technically betrayed Hilda when he run from Lorule to ask for help, so hearing Shadow's story makes him afraid to tell the truth, for fear of being hated by him. (And also the horrible feeling that this is how Legend feels about him)

More of a general headcanon... Ravio and Shadow (and Loruleans) have dark magic, meanwhile Hylians have white magic. Because of this, healing magic (like Hyrule's) not only don't work to them, it's also dangerous. To use white magic to heal someone who have the opposite magic is like giving sea water to someone dying of thirst. Potions work fine tho.

Shadow sees the mentor/protegee dynamics going on with the chain and immediately claims Ravio as his protegee. He also takes every opportunity to brag to the other "mentors" about how much better his protegee is.

After seeing Time calling Twilight "pup" and Twilight calling Wild "cub" Shadow decides to call Ravio "kit" (baby bunny). Legend hates it but Ravio loves it (he never had someone call him by a nickname before!).

Ravio have a crush on Legend, and Shadow is totally against it (he's not jealous, of course. What the fuck you talking about? He's just looking out for his protegee....). In his mind, Ravio deserves someone who loves him with all his heart and is not afraid to show it, and apparently Legend is way to much of a bitch to show feelings.

Legend is also protective of Ravio, and weary of how close he and Shadow are. So yeah, Shadow and Legend have beef with each other and it's the most annoying and funny thing.

Meanwhile,Ravio is living that annoying troupe of being happy that Shadow have Four, then being jealous of their relationship, then realizing he feels jealous, then feeling bad for feeling jealous. (This is me projecting lmao).

Four is just so, SO tired. All the colors have different opinions, and Four never had all his colors being so loud at the same time before. Someone let him sleep, please.

Shadow is awkwardly innocent. He tries to act like he is experienced in romance and 18+ stuff but he is not. God, he is not. Where do babys come from? He has no idea. He might try to copy Warriors in his quest to be popular with girls. Someone save him.

Random headcanon but, one day Wild gives Ravio a bunch of money because "I have way to many of it, and you care more about this stuff anyway". Ravio's immediate answer is "Are you single?" Chaos ensues. lmao

Shadow and Ravio usually end up holding hands. It's something really natural to them. They always end up close together, since they both miss human touch and they trust each other to share this closeness with. It's actually pretty cute.

I will stop now because otherwise this will get too long. Thank you for asking, I never thought people would be interested on my little crack pairing. 🥺

[dicaxasinus]

So @down-into-underland and I made a Four Swords au a while back, tried to make a fic out of it, it didn’t work, and we scrapped it, but the concept of it is still pretty damn solid, so I want to share it so it’s not just an idea between the two of us. This is a soulmate kind of au that we like to call “The Kinstone AU.”

The Concept: For those who haven’t played Minish Cap, Kinstones are essentially two separate halves of a single medallion that Link has to find one half of, then find the person who has the other half. Because this is a soulmate au, you probably see where I’m going with this. But there are a couple twists.

First, the Kinstones can be four different colors: red, blue, green, and gold. Because of this, we decided to make the different colors represent different kinds of relationships. Red ones are romantic, blue ones are platonic, green ones are that kind where you’re destined to fight your destined partner always, and gold ones are a type of mentor/student relationship. And because we gave the Kinstones different meanings, we came to our next twist: people don’t have just one.

Most people have three Kinstone halves and they can be any assortment of colors. For example, we gave Red three blue halves, whereas we gave Blue a green, blue, and gold. If one has fewer than three halves or three green ones, you’re either pitied or looked at like, “Yikes that guy has nobody destined to like him? Best steer clear.”

And finally, when the two halves are brought together, they just become one medallion that shows that a soulmate couple has found each other. You pretty much just have to share it with your partner. (If it’s a green one, it becomes your War Rock).

(End note: Because gold Kinstones represent a mentor/student relationship, the mentor is usually older than the student. Thus, the student will outlive the mentor. When the mentor dies, their half of the completed gold Kinstone dissolves and the student will reclaim their half, except it is now the mentor half. It’s a cycle.)

Hylian Culture: We had to make some cultural decisions regarding the Kinstones, but it’s not as lengthy as what they are and how they work in general. Typically, people will keep their halves a secret from most people because they don’t want to let them get in the way of potential friendships/relationships. Trying to match Kinstones with someone is a voluntary choice, so if someone is happy in a relationship but doesn’t want to risk finding out that their partner isn’t their soulmate, they don’t necessarily have to do so.

At the same time, however, it is common for people to try to match Kinstones after being in a relationship for a couple months to a year - whether blue or red (green Kinstones are less likely to be matched by virtue of them representing animosity). Given this, the royal family has to take some precautions against the princess matching Kinstones with random people. If she has blue Kinstones, they’re released to her when she’s younger, but any red one(s) that she might have are withheld until shes at least a teenager. Just because. It doesn’t really change who her soulmates are though, it just means she can’t know for sure until later.

Couples still need to put in effort, even after successfully matching Kinstone halves (obviously), so if that doesn’t happen, soulmate couples can still fail. It’s not all infallible, but y’know, there’s always going to be people who think they’re set once they find their soulmate. It happens (but we didn’t make any of the Links or any other characters be Like That so it’s fine c;).

Details of our Vision: The first and most important part of this au: who everyone is matched with. Have a spreadsheet.

Important things to note about this chart:

Link and Zelda have both each other’s red half AND blue half.

Blue has a gold kinstone with the Links’ father.

This au has the Links being brothers, so Red is just the epitome of brotherhood.

This is a Shadow/Vio au, so they’re the main ship. Shadow’s the only one that’s not OFFICIALLY a brother. He’s the Difficult brother-in-law. He and Blue do not get along.

The second part of this au are the relations. We had the Links being quadruplets, but it’s also possible that in a canon sort of timeline where they split into four, their Kinstones manifest after that split. Zelda’s and the Links’ dad’s, however, wouldn’t change.

Third, the Prime source of angst in our au. Shadow’s red Kinstone half was shattered by Vaati (because that can only be done with powerful magic), so he knows he has a romantic soulmate, he can just never know for sure who it is.

One of my personal favorite headcanons is that the Dark World is just what Hylians call Lorule before A Link Between Worlds, so every Shadow Link/Dark Link before that is Ravio, who was meant to be Lorule’s hero, but was always taken in by Ganondorf/Vaati/Other Villain before being realized. And because Ravio in A Link Between Worlds has Sheerow, we thought it’d be cool if the soulmate connection went to the nearest living thing (a bird) after it got shattered. It got left behind the first time he came to Hyrule, but in this he’d be brought back, so the second time it’d come through with him and it’s real friendly towards Vio. Shadow doesn’t get it though, so he’s still got that lingering doubt.

Also the reason why we made Shadow have a blue kinstone half with Zelda is because she’s the first one to tell him that he’s one of the Links and can be a hero too. Fight me on this, she believes in him.

Those are the major points in this au, hope y’all like this concept! The fic that I tried to write was titled “Halves and Halve Nots,” it was pretty bad and I’d like to try re-writing it in the future, but this is the whole concept! If I can’t write it myself, I at least wanted to share the idea. Thanks for reading!

[totk-headcanons]

ZeLink, MaLink, NabsGan, NabsImpa, Midlink, MidZeLink, Shink, Hildavio (Hilda/Ravio) Fierce Deity/Hylia, Tingle/A burning abyss.

Alright, rapid fire thoughts and one line headcanons. For the more ambiguous ones I’m going to assume OoT characters are being referenced.

ZeLink: Cute! Before Link left for Termina I imagine he spent a lot of time at the castle just being great child hood friends with Zelda and getting up to all kinds of hijinks. By the time he got back from his adventure in MM, even Zelda’s father was joking about them practically being engaged. It wasn’t until they were both a bit older (late teens, early 20′s) and had gone through a few failed romances with other partners that they realized “Whoops, we’ve fallen in love.”

MaLink: Like MidLink years latter, I hold this to be the definitive ship for Ocarina of Time. (As far as that particular Link goes, I thin Romani is a better option but we’re just looking at OoT here). We know for an absolute fact that Malon is one of the people Link reached out and reconnected with after being sent back to the child timeline since he borrows and uses Epona again for the events of Majora’s Mask. From Malon’s perspective, it would be pretty shocking if one day a young boy in green clothes swept into the ranch, immediately befriended the most temperamental horse in the entire herd with a song only you knew and rode off into the sunset. The mystery alone would be enough to drive her crazy (assuming Link didn’t ask to use Epona beforehand, and even if he did). Talon would tease her about her obsession, calling it a crush. When Link eventually returned to Hyrule, he’d be met with a barrage of questions about where he went, where he came from and how the hell he know’s Epona’s song. Malon would declare herself Link’s rival and compete with him over who Epona likes more. This rivalry eventually blossoms into romance which leads to marriage and kids. Fast forward YEARS and we find a new Link growing up in a small ranch/farming community south of Castle Town with his own Epona and yeah I think y’all can see where I’m going with this. Hyrule Historia says that TP Link is a direct descendant of OoT Link and I think we all know who OoT Link ended up with to make it happen. Case closed.

NabsGan: Ganondorf was actually an honorable man once, with good intentions for the betterment of his people. Nabooru respected that quite a bit until Twinrova stepped in and started seeding thoughts of the Triforce and an open coup against Hyrule in his head. It’s safe to say that Ganondorf may have had feelings for Nabooru as well, at least before he succumbed to the influence of Demise. I like to think a small part of him regretted what happened to her after he went bad.

MidLink/MidZelLink: Have already been covered extensively on this blog, including the previous post to this one. While I am all for polyamory, I sadly have no experience with either observing it or writing it. Also TP Zelda is kind of hard to write for since she played such a minor role.

Shink: Did this one already but oh man is Link gay as hell for Shiek. Seven years of hormones all hitting his system at once and he has no idea how to deal. Actually makes Shiek’s disappearing acts a lot easier since Link ends up in a daze whenever he’s around.

Hildavio: CUTE. Ravio went through a lot of trouble to help restore Lorule (or at least that’s what he’d have you believe) and Hilda knows it. I can just imagine Ravio trying to be suave, charming and romantically roguish only to completely beef it somehow. Hilda of course laughs and scoops him up in a big hug and delivers smooches.

Fierce Deity/Hylia: So what if the Fierce Deity is actually the spirit of the first Hero as depected in the Skyward Sword manga featured in Hyrule Historia? After sacrificing himself to ensure the safety of Hylia’s chosen people as they escaped into the sky, he somehow ascended to Godhood. Perhaps it was a gift from the Triforce or the Golden Goddesses or Hylia herself. We know that Hylia had grown very fond of and attracted to this Link, which is why she set the beginning stages of the Hero Cycle to begin with. I posit that a small piece of the Fierce Deity exists within the soul of each incarnation of the Hero, Link. Hylia established this cycle of reincarnation and rebirth to allow for herself and the Fierce Deity to be together in some fashion or another for forever and eternity. Of course Demise had to come back and mess things up but the whole thing is incredibly romantic.

Tingle/A Burning Abyss: I have to draw the line here. This blog does not support or condone incest ships in any shape or form and I will not ship Tingle with that whence he came.
