Yo! I redesigned some Links

Here are my Links so far, I know some are missing, but honestly I don’t know their games too well so I wasn’t as inspired to redesign them (yet).

I’m still figuring out names for them! So far here are the ones I’m testing out:

BoTW/ToTK: Champion

ALTTP—ALBW: Atlas

WW: Sailor

OoT/MM: Prophecy

SkSw: Ancestor

TP: Rancher

[links-gender]

Nothing to see here, just a

Somewhat random collection of eiochevart au info

(Bc I don’t know how to structure things)

Some lore details that may or may not be important to the story

First of all, I think it’s worth noting that a handful of my Links are, well… ghosts? Ya. They’re dead. And let’s just say Link’s don’t tend to grow very old.

Ages!!

(Many of these aren’t finalized and may never be)

Mural (ALBW): 14-15 years old

Sailor (WW): 12-14, depends on what part of his story arc we’re in? Alternatively, 13 years old bc that’s the median

Rancher (TP): 17-19 years old, older teen but not quite an adult yet

Prophecy (OoT): early-mid 30’s

Atlas (ALTTP/etc.): mid-late 20’s?

Ancestor (SkSw): mid twenties. Unfortunately, one of the youngest of the… dead ones?

Sign language?

Exclusively uses sign language: Mural, Atlas

Uses sign language sometimes: Champion (BotW/TotK), Prophecy (less verbal as a child)

Vocal/verbal: Rancher, Sailor, Ancestor

Starting off this Wednesday with redesigning my own redesigns… why am I so indecisive

Anyways, I will be posting a new, edited, reference sheet of my Links sometime this week. They’re living rent free inside my mind. Seriously looking forward to sharing more about them. I have tons of ideas already!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, and as for the asks, I have seen them and I’ll try to answer them when I can!

Got any body headcanons for the Links? At the moment, I see Ancestor (Skyward Sword Link) being more chubby due to his morning laziness and stamina meter.

Thank you for asking! I’ve been wanting to draw the Links’ body types for a while now :D

Ok so, I’m totally with you on the Sksw Link headcanon, though in my AU he’s a bit more than just lazy in the morning: he’s generally very lethargic and tired most of the time… Take that as you will. Edit: I am far from the first person who has characterized him that way! Just to be clear. I take a lot of inspiration from other artists and AUs.

As for the other Links!! I find Champion (Botw/Totk) very interesting to draw, because of the way I made his body change between the two games. In Botw he was leaner, in Totk he’s gained some weight, but is still muscular. And he’s the only one who’s had top surgery, I haven’t decided if it’s an age thing or a timeline thing (that the practice didn’t become a thing until Botw era??).

Rancher (Tp) is buff yadayada come get y’all’s juice I guess. Love drawing him, I feel like gives really good and strong hugs.

And Mural, aaah I adore him, I made his body somewhat inspired by myself as a young teen. Makes me happy. Idk how he feels about it though. I don’t think he cares too much about his body tbh - he does care about his appearance in terms of clothes and accessories, but body-wise? Eh.

Idk if you answer asks about your links or not, but just in case, I was wondering if the difference in ear types/sizes (idk how to say it lol) has a meaning?

It seems like Ancestor and Atlas especially have pretty long ears?

also your art style is like one of my favorite things ever

Thank you!! And yeah, I had a few ideas while designing their ears. I don’t remember where I read it, but I’m pretty sure it’s stated somewhere that Hylians have long ears because of their connection with the Godesses and Hylia?

I also personally see long ears as an ancient Hylian physical trait, that’s been watered down throughout the years. That’s why Ancestor has the longer and flatter ears.

Hylian royalty have an especially strong divine connection. Atlas has longer ears because he has royal blood!

Which of your Links would be most likely to eat something willingly despite being allergic to it? (And what are/would they be allergic to?)

I feel like Prophecy would be the type of person with an “there’s no such thing as bad food” attitude. Like, this man grew up with only nuts and berries for food, and after he discovered human-made meals there’s no going back. He would absolutely never waste anything, even if it makes his stomach hurt a bit. Of course, hyper-allergies are another thing. I’m not talking about the Serious Stuff.

Both Ravio and Mural would eat something they’re allergic to just for the laughs. Like, just to see the others’ horrified reactions.

I don’t know why but I can totally see Ancestor with a gluten allergy???? I have no idea why tbh. But he’s gonna be fine, he’s got enough pumpkin soup to make up for the lack of bread. But he’s one of those who actually stay away from the food he’s allergic to. You can say he takes his allergy seriously? At least more than the others do, haha.
