hey so what happened to the hero of the breach link?? because i am like, 99% certain that our Wolf Boy Link is different from the poor kid who had to kill Great-GrandGan

first of all, 'Great-GrandGan' is now how I'm going to refer to him in my brain forever so thank you -

secondly, you're correct! They're different characters! A couple notes on our assorted Previous Links (tm) and their statuses so far in the story below!

--

admittedly a good chunk of the backstory for the Hero of the Breach is coming up in the next chapter of the fic, which has. well, it's a work in progress. However, some stuff that has been speckled around the fic and the snippets I've posted around here and on Twitter -

The Hero of the Breach, were he alive, would be only a few years younger than Rova - he was a kid when she was getting into her teens.

While there isn't much clear about his earliest years, he was at one point taken in by Great-GrandGan (Phantom Ganon, Demise, however you wanna slice it) and his spouse amid the 'First' of the three detailed 'calamities' in the fic. At some point he received the Master Sword from the last Queen Zelda - and by the end of things, both Great-GrandGan and his spouse wound up dead.

However, the HotB stayed around with Rova as her adopted brother, and they were very close up until his death, sometime in his early teens.

Though of course, as per Legend of Zelda tradition - one 'Hero' being dead doesn't prevent them from having a rapport with another! For better or worse!

Wolf Link - the 'Hero of Fortune' is of Urbosa's generation, around the same age as her, Maz Koshia, Impa, and King Delphinus.

Again, not too much is known about his early years currently in the fic - but he was at least raised in part by the koroks and nature spirits of Hyrule, and the dragon Naydra has a familiarity with him. Wolf Link did not die as a teenager - rather, as a teen he wandered his way into life with Maz and his sister Keo in Kakariko. While he wasn't a servant to the Hyrule royal family like Maz and Keo, he ended up around them quite a bit by association, and eventually got his own hands on the Master Sword. (It wasn't a fun time for anybody, really, but when is it?)

Anyway - as it always does, the Master Sword comes with consequences or otherwise a good dose of fuckery, and at some point along the way Wolf Link began to encounter the Hero of the Breach.

Sometimes bombastically, other times like in a nightmare - and eventually, after he met his own end, perhaps as some kind of companion.

While the extent of his collaboration with Wolf Link, his purpose or truest form as a specter, isn't quite clear for now, what we know for certain - we certainly haven't yet seen the last of the Hero of the Breach.

I know Dimension 20 is a Comedy Show for a Comedy Platform but after seeing what Brennan can do in more dramatic settings (CR: Downfall, EXU: Calamity, even A Crown of Candy) I would love to see more variety in tone from the D20 franchise. We have a lot of different genres with each season but the comedic tone remains too consistent for my tastes and I'm getting more and more bored.

Never did I expect myself to be mourning the absence of english essays and writing exams and theatre class critiques. Do you understand how fucking amazing of a grade I could get on an analysis of trauma in Critical Role? On Lou Wilson and Emily Axford's finesse in portraying the heavy expectations and double standards placed on children? On Ylfa Snorgelsson's relationship to death? On the journey of a man's relationship to violence? On an analysis of grief in Dimension 20? On the pitfalls of youth? On the dynamic between humanity and religion? On the journey of self-discovery and acceptance? On love in all its forms? On the nature of choice? On everything Brennan Lee Mulligan has to say about capitalism? On the tragedy of im/mortality? On Gerard and Elody's divorce? On the unfeeling and aimless happenstance of the universe? On the role of fate and destiny? I'm not saying it would be easy. I'm saying can you imagine how fucking cool it would have been to turn in 5 pages about a dnd show, feeling good about it?

It's been a year and I fianlly got around to working on and finishing my Xie Lian poster (at least I'm calling it a poster)

I redrew it uuuuh 3 times before changing around and reworking complete parts of it and it still doens't have a background that I enjoy but hey maybe y'all will like it <3

He's a lil note sheet on the appearances here i guess, with my semi-chaotic notes.

Also, although I drew them together, i'm going to post the the matching Hua Cheng one seperately then maybe tac the other onto it if that makes sense. We'll see
