If I can request, First (first hero) and Hylia?

I don’t really have a design for them yettt wahhh wahhh 😢😔😞 ended up drawing this without ref for their canon designs which might’ve been a teeny weeny dumb

Thanks for the ask !!

I'm probably never gonna finish the whole drawing so may as well post this part since I liked it a lot ^^

[leeleesart]

pov you talked smack about hylia in front of them

We all know that I’m very clumsy, that’s a fact.

I have broken my mobile phone case by dropping it from my jacket pocket on concrete.

Don’t ask me how I did this, I don’t even know myself 🙈

But that gave me the opportunity to get a new one. I got it custom printed with art from the wonderful @la-sera and it turned out amazing! 🤩

I love this so much!

Thank you for letting me use your art, La-Sera!

Hmm, now that I’ve drawn the first hero, I think I should draw the Hylian form of Hylia that Link will meet—like, he’s not going to meet her in her goddess form. I don’t know how to explain it properly, but does it even make a difference at this point?

And the crucial moment has arrived: I need to find him a name, bc I don’t think you guys would like it if I went with the simplest option and just called him ‘First’ lol.

[moore-nocturnal]

I shall give something finished but not new at least not yet but soon 😉

[adrift-in-thyme]

I’ve been meaning to make a post like this for a while now but kept forgetting. Since First isn’t widely known I wanted people to have an explanation of who the heck this guy is (and why they should love him). So without further ado

Who is the First Hero?

(All of the following pictures are from the Hyrule Historia)

The First Hero (or First as we call him in the Linked Universe fandom) shows up in a tiny manga at the back of the Hyrule Historia (that’s basically an encyclopedia for Zelda). He isn’t technically canon and doesn’t have a game of his own. But according to the manga he is the first Link, Skyward Sword Link’s predecessor.

He lived in a time when Hylia was still a goddess and before Demise’s first attack. He was a royal knight, much like Hyrule Warriors Link, and seemed to be a man of great respect and esteem. Until, that is, he was framed for an unknown crime and imprisoned.

He remains in the dungeons for four years. Then, when his so called “premonitions of danger” begin to come true, and Demise attacks Hyrule, his people decide “oh, wait! They kinda need a hero now!” So, they set him free and practically beg him to fight for them. He’s understandably bitter about the whole thing, but being the hero he is, he goes out to battle.

No sooner has he agreed to fight, than the goddess Hylia shows up on her crimson loftwing. She has come to battle Demise and help her people escape to safety.

The loftwing looks down upon the humans as weak and cowardly. But Link stands up to him, telling him “there are those among us who have the courage to fight.” The loftwing admires him for the sentiment, but isn’t convinced. He promises to keep watch over him to see if Link is a worthy rider.

With the loftwing gone to the heavens above, Hylia gives Link the Master Sword

Link doesn’t think he is worthy of it after his imprisonment, but Hylia assures him that the sword knows better. It sees beyond his tarnished reputation to the kind, brave man beneath.

Though Link is still bitter about everything he has endured, he swears to fight for his friends. He takes the sword and hones it into something a mortal can wield.

Then, he goes to battle.

Hylia rallies the other races around Hyrule to help the Hylians. Meanwhile, Link and his men fight for seven days. Despite their efforts, Demise begins to burn Hyrule to the ground.

In the end, Link goes to face him, promising to slay him.

But he is badly wounded in the fight. He collapses, weak and near death. Before he can fade away, however, the loftwing shows up and chooses him as his rider.

He swears to ride with the loftwing forever. Shortly afterward, the dragons from Skyward Sword bless the Master Sword with the power of the Triforce. Then, Link gives the sword to Hylia, who carves Hyrule from the earth.

Link retrieves the sword and drives it into the ground, finishing the job and sending Hyrule skyward.

He wants to follow his people to the skies, but his wounds catch up to him. He falls to the ground. In his last moments he promises that his spirit will always be with his people.

Hylia seals Demise away, even as the enraged god promises to prevail. Then, she goes to where her fallen hero lies.

She holds him, crying over him and lamenting the pain he had to endure to become the hero Hyrule needed. Knowing that Hyrule will need their help once more, she then promises to reincarnate them both. Only this time, she will be a mortal.

This story, we learn, becomes legend in the era of Skyward Sword. And the loftwing who Link swore to ride with chooses the child who has his reincarnated spirit, Skyward Sword Link or Sky.

Now, as for First’s standing in LU…I’m know multiple LU fans (myself included) speculate that Jojo will include him at some point. She’s been cryptic about it when asked though, so we don’t know for sure. Neither do we know when he’ll show up (if he does). So, for now, we can only hope.

…and create our own AU’s in the meantime ;)

mmmm something something time rift blah blah yada yada ✨links meet au✨

[clowns0up-felix]

Love that ur little tell that a Link is divine/super traumatized is a little bit of white in the hair or on the ears. (First and Mask)

I also NEED to know why u portray Oot/Mm Link so young since usually the little dude is portrayed as the oldest or older of the Links. ❤️💗pretty please 🙏 ❤️❤️

Uhmmm I think a young teen Mask is just super fun to explore !! Likee he’s grown since his last adventure and he prob thinks of himself as way more mature than he is? His mind is older than his body, but it’s not much. Like he’s prob 15 mentally lol . He also looks a little older than he is which gives him confidence in his belief of being mature,, Also also I need him to have a chill adulthood (until he dies) I can NOT have that guy go on an adventure at 30 he has kids let him ressssttttt , but yeah a teenager is stupid and I need him to be stupid but think he’s mature and smart and experienced which he is but he’s still a teen and and and

Tbh I feel like I’ve seen just as many young times in other people’s linksmeets as older ones

I love my fur eared guys 🫶 Wolf in theory also counts but his isn’t white so fuck him in particular

Thanks for the ask !!!

[theforgxttenshade]

Rinku the First Hero my boyyyy

been so long since I last drew him. Haven’t been working on the comic cause I had to transfer the drafts onto my phone cause my tablet was buffering like crazy, and then half of the fonts I downloaded on my tablet weren’t on my phone so I gotta redownload those and that’s not even to mention that time I got sick

Also, his hair is so hard to draw and also I kinda hate it so I changed it up here. I’ll probably keep the hair like this(but with those little hair pieces sticking up cause i plan to take those away once he gets a darn hair bush soon).

Don’t know if I’ll use this line art brush for the comic, but I love it sooooooo who knows. Shrug. Also thank you to the person who unintentionally reminded me my comic exsist(didn’t actually forget it but I just haven’t worked on it for a bit wah). You are very nice, thank you :)
