For the 20th anniversary of The Minish Cap, I drew my MC Link interacting with some other MC Links from other Links Meet AUs(basically)! I was not ready for this anniversary so I was rushing. Anyhoo, under the cut are the Links featured:

Mirrored Links - Mini - My Link! I uh have to rewrite the ML story lol so uh don’t read it. He’s grumpy 24/7, 4 feet tall at 19 years old, and would definitely hate being with other versions of himself lol.

Limited Hero - Minish By @limited-hero - We got nothing on this guy except for like 2 drawings, and I can tell he’s brimming with energy and joy. Very energetic, the type of person Mini hates to be around :D

There isn’t a name for this uh this is Felix Lineup of Links(👍👍👍) - Sprout By @clowns0up-felix - Adorable. Love them. Very pinchable cheeks. I was originally going to draw Sprout kicking Mini in the shins(cause he deserves it lol), but I did not have the time for that.

Links Converge - Cori By @linksconverge - Head patssss. I love him he’s so cute! All of the MC Links are cute tho…but I like him :) He gets head pats :)) because I didn’t know what else to do with him :)))

Here's a better version of the refs!

[eepernation]

How big is Minnish Minnow? Minnowish? Mini? I know you mentioned small, but how small are we talking in relation to the others? I worry about him ><

SO SO SMALL. here is a comparison with Sky and Legend! Sky is a respectable height- think average human size. Legend is a bit shorter than Sky. Minish? he is like 1 FOOT TALL

The stress of accidentally squashing him is REAL! fortunately he is very loud, and very fast, and can always dart out of the way if somebody doesn't notice him and tries to swim into him

[weavingthestorm-lh]

okay so. I finished the last piece. Actually this time lmao I promise. I also did a bonus Shadow version (even though he technically doesn't have access to this form. Maybe. I haven't. Decided yet) he's also definitely irrelevant™️ so it doesn't matter regardless.

[cloudninetonine]

We're not on crack, we're enlightened /j

First- Skyward Sword, Hyrule Warriors First link in the timeline, scarf

📓 :3c

Oh boy have I got fic ideas I want to write but haven't yet lmao.

I would really really really really really like to write a fic about Four (LU) specifically digging into how going adventuring in the Minish Cap at such a young age affects him (my notes currently says he was 10). I've been on and off playing the Minish Cap and it's such a good game, but I'm also objectively bad at video games (/lh) so it's taking me ages to get through it.

I just think there's a lot that can be done in regards to how he copes with the aftermath of that adventure and how he develops into a person going into Four Swords and then Four Swords Adventures. It would definitely work as another prequel to Constellation of Hope (AO3 link), because there's a lot of things in the first chapter of Dark Hair Significance that I want to go more into. Especially now that I've read the Four Swords manga.

In that vein I've also got other Four centric fics that are halfway typed up in a google docs, but that I'm struggling to finish because there's at this point so much plot to keep track of lmao.

Thank you for the ask /gen. I'm always happy to talk about my fic ideas!

[treasure-goblin]

The HC is 1000% haunted, lol. It's mainly skull kid spirits running amok, but there is a very strong, protective presence that can be felt by some. I wonder who that could be, at a school called "Hylia's Grace"... /lh

The minish laid claim to the primary school, and act like little borrowers!

Gonna try and distract myself from head hurty, would anyone mind asking some questions about my Lu Elementary Au? /nf

HYRULE IS A MORAY EEL ITS EEL TIME EEL TIME EEL TIME

Hyrule is a moray eel! I am showing clear fish favoritism because I am about to infodump a LOT. about moray eels while explaining Hyrule's design. Everything is under the cut so that this post isn't 10000 pages long ASHDHASD

Hyrule is specifically based on Gymnothorax monochrous, the Drab moray eel (I added a picture at the very bottom of this post)! He tends to blend in very easily with the group, and not draw a lot of attention from strangers. He is very plain-looking, but being a humble traveler, he doesn't mind it at all. He actually rather prefers not being the center of attention.

Yesterday I hinted at Hyrule's fish species having some special quality to his blood. Congratulations! It's poison! Moray eels carry ichthyotoxins in their blood, which is a substance that can be rather dangerous and potentially lethal in large enough quantities. Case in point, Hyrule is still very much terrified of bleeding! The angst potential continues!/lh

He still has his healing magic, of course! This creates a nice juxtaposition. Hyrule is the resident medic, but also someone who could easily accidentally poison someone if he isn't careful.

Yes, Hyrule has two sets of jaws. Moray eels have an entire second set of jaws. These are called pharyngeal jaws! They sit in the back of the throat and can extend forwards to grab at things. You know, if you wanna be extra-bitey! Hyrule uses them to freak the rest of the chain out LMAO

The little dots on Hyrule's face, right on the bridge of his nose? Those are not piercings. Those are his nares (aka fish nostrils)! If you look at any picture of a moray eel, you will see that it has little horn-looking protrusions on its snout. Since fish have gills, they don't need noses to breathe, so they need an alternative way to pick up chemical sensory information. All fish have nares, but since moray eels have particularly bad eyesight, they have to rely more on their sense of smell to catch prey, so their nares are more pronounced. I wanted to carry that aspect over to Hyrule's design!

Hyrule has bad eyesight and depends more on his sense of smell than the rest of the chain. He might not be as good at navigating the open ocean, but put him in a cave or somewhere with low visibility and he is a WHIZ at getting around while the rest of the chain fumbles around in the darkness. Hyrule is also exceptionally perceptive of danger and is usually among the first people to notify the group when any sort of enemy is nearby.

He's one of the only members of the chain who actually wears clothing. He likes the color green because not only is it pretty, but it helps him blend in even more with the seaweed and rocks. Also, since I took Legend's hat away from him, I gave it to Hyrule instead! Hyrule and Minish bond over having cool green hats.

FINALLY!!! Here is a picture of the fish I based him on- the Drab moray eel! AKA brown moray, monochrome moray, or plain moray eel. Contrary to its name, I think this fish is actually very pretty. What beautiful shades of brown! I will be taking NO moray eel slander in this household/lh

[weavingthestorm-lh]

late night doodles of some important characters! Obvi Ghost and Twine, plus a little Shire experiment. Ill probably do a full digital for the one with Shire eventually.

The other three Heroes you won't see again for ages tho lol

(Ignore how scratchy and messy these are I am so tired but I wanted to at least start sharing some stuff for heroes other then Twine and Ghost lmao)

This is my realisation that everytime I put Ghost and Twine together i always subconsciously draw them holding hands and I genuinely cannot its so cute I should not be this happy over something I physically did myself.

Fun fact of the day i guess:

There's a bit of lore hidden in all the art I do for this series, and these doodles are no exception! (Though there's significantly less this time lol)

[i-give-link-to-people]

Not to be rude, but are you a Minish?

*gasp* i cant believe you would say that /lh

throwing my little hat on the floor and walking back into my little mushroom house now

[thorntopieces]

So quick question

Would you happen to have a fic with good descriptions of what your version of the colours look like?

Or would you be willing to write that up?

Note: this is long lmao. Quick question, long answer /lh

I don't, as of yet, though one is in the works! It's one of the things I've been really struggling with! So far I have an illustration of Vio done (done by my girlfriend @mydmdcorner ) but we'll probably get to drawing the others soonish! I'm more than happy to give a description though!

They also have slightly different blond(e) hair colours, with Blue's being the palest and Vio's the darkest.

Red (he/him): he's the smallest of the bunch (but really we're talking about differences in millimetres and centimetres here, they're all small)! In A Brief Respite, he's described as the one that looks the most like their grandpa! His eyes are blue, lighter than Blue's. His hair is short but curly/wavy. I'll attach photos and other references under a read-more! He's also got freckles. As for his tunic, it looks very much like the one presented in the Four Swords Manga, though it now has 3/4 sleeves and has a normal hood (to replace the stupid Link hat, I just think it's silly). When he's sleepy or shy, he'll hide in the hoodie. The only reason the tunics are 3/4 sleeve lengths is because he kept burning the ends of the sleeves when they were full. No more long sleeves for Red. He also has some of the same piercing holes as Vio (helix piercings), but instead of having amethyst studs, it's golden hoops/rings.

Blue (she/her): Blue's a tricky case. She got into the Minish magic in an attempt to change her body to fit her gender which had some. Interesting consequences. She's kind of surrounded by a permanent glamour of the weirdest kind, so despite being female, she appears entirely male (short hair etc). She wants to grow her hair out tho (but only to a length that's still practical). She has dark blue eyes. She does not have freckles and her hair has the barest hint of waves. Her tunic is also similar to the manga, but she wears a different, thinner belt higher up on her waist (to make it look like she has wider hips) and her tunic is the longest of them all, brushing the tops of her knees. She currently has no piercings.

Green (he/him): My favourite sleepy boy. He more or less looks exactly like the manga version of Four Swords LInk. He's got green eyes with golden spots in them. He's also ditched the hat, but has the same hood that Four has, with the Ezlo decoration at the end. He's a sleepy boy, so the hood is long enough to fully cover his eyes if he needs to lay down to rest in the middle of the day. The shirt he wears under the tunic has longer sleeves so he can hide his hands. His boots are also more padded so walking is less exhausting/hurts less.

Vio (they/them): Has the longest hair of them all currently. It just brushes their collarbone. The front parts are braided and kept secure with magnetic beads that can be used to clip the hair back. They wear a similar tunic to LU!Four. The bottom part is also flared/split into multiple pieces to ease movement. They wear a thicker belt, but not the same one from the manga. On their hip they wear purple and black kinstone-shaped gems. They've got purple eyes and freckles, although less freckles than Red. They also wear the most piercings in their ears. I might still redesign their tunic some. I really like the tunic design for ASAU!Legend (note: ASAU is rated M/18+), so I might take inspiration from that when I get around to drawing Vio myself.

Hope that helps some! I've left a couple image references below the read more for you! I don't have the spoons to image describe them currently, but I might get that done within the next day or so. If that's an immediate issue, I'll try to get it done tonight!

DISCLAIMER: I do not claim this as my art, this is the initial tunic redesign sketch me and my gf did as we tried to figure stuff out. It's redrawn over one of JoJo's (@/linkeduniverse) drawings of Four. Please do not see this as my art. The headband should also not be there for my Vio. Oops.

This is another drawing of Vio. The hair is wrong. Disregard that please. Vio also doesn't have ears. Oops. This is my girlfriend's art. (The Minish you see is Bubble, you can meet them in the first chapter of Dark Hair Significance)

This is my current profile picture and is of Vio! Here you can see the piercings Vio has, too. The Minish tail/feather isn't one they commonly wear. They left that behind in their Hyrule to keep it safe. Depending on the day, they do the braids a little different. This drawing was also done by my girlfriend.

This hairstyle is roughly what I imagine for Red, maybe a bit shorter (Source: Gentlemen's Magazine).

And of course a reference for the Manga.
