#link meets sheik

[mistresslrigtar]

And now for something completely different - Chapter Three in my serial The Bawdy Bard: Pulicose Link of Pronken!!!

Excerpt:

He’d barely dozed off when someone roughly pushed him and he nearly toppled off the divan. His eyes flew open to see a strange boy standing in the bathroom door. He must be filthy rich since he was clad in a high-end blue and white Sheikah athletic wear tracksuit with a red eye emblazoned in the center. Link would kill for workout clothes like that.

At least Link thought it was a boy. It was difficult to tell since most of their face was obscured. Chin-length sunshine blond hair covered one eye, and they must be a germaphobe since a white cloth surgical mask covered the lower half of their face.

The quizzical red eye he could see was studying him as if they weren’t sure what to make of him. “A sleeping boy dreaming of one day becoming a man.”

Who the hell was this weirdo?

And you don’t want to miss the limerick Link sings this week!! 🤣

[fever-project]

My Sepfember drawing is done 🎉 A bunch of Zeldas and yes 👍 extra content like separate duos are under the cut, thank you @rebornofstars for this wonderful event

Although AoC’s nickname isn’t fully final ig

And here are the duos + trio. I also got no real story for them yet. Planning on doing maybe an ask blog for this Zeldas meet au, Our Legend, cause that seems like it could be fun :)

[dragongirlie56]

I seriously wish that they put Link’s family in BOTW! I know there’s concept art and I’m like why didn’t you do this Nintendo?! Imagine Aryll being Link’s younger sister in BOTW and he introduces Zelda to Aryll! And imagine if he remembered memories with Aryll as he ventured across Hyrule?! AHHHHHH!! Gimme older brother Link again pls!!! (it would be heartbreaking when you realize that Aryll would’ve died within Link’s 100 year nap… but like… I still want it)

Zeldas!! I lowkey needed a reference for myself. SO, here's the girls! And yes I did name TP Zelda Twilight to be confusing :P (But mostly because I think the one who got called The Twilight Princess by Midna deserves to have the name Twilight)

[knightlycrow]

thinking about this and man I'd really want names for the Links and also possibly a new name for Sheik? it feels weird for him to be raised in a whole tribe of Sheikah and call himself Sheik, as opposed to OoT where he was raised by the last Sheikah member.

sketches for an AU I'm revisiting from my childhood :D The premise is that Zelda, Sheik, and Tetra are triplets, and bc of reasons I've not entirely figured out, the younger two (Sheik and Tetra) were sent to be raised in other cultures. The OG AU was based on Ocarina of Time, but I'm revamping it to be more based in Breath of the Wild's Hyrule (modernized, the AU has always been primarily a modern AU). This time around, I'm also wanting to have more than just one Link (who would have been OoT's Link in my original version of the AU). Not sure exactly how I'll execute it, but we'll see!

[sillysonata]

This dumb timeline’s vers of zelda / sheik to go wit servant link😞 I’d imagine cuz he has no clue he’s the hero she’s tried to fill the role of the princess & the hero. When they meet I’d imagine she’d have to protect his silly ahh 😭😭

LU Star Wars AU: Part 5

LAST BUT NOT LEAST ITS TIME AND SKY LETS GO

PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3 | PART 4

Time

Time is a direct survivor of Order 66. He was a child living in one of the more remote temples when everything happened, and was able to escape alive by fleeing into the dense forests of the planet.

Time spent many years after that traveling on his own and not getting close to anyone out of fear of being found out, or worse, left behind. He holds a certain bitterness towards everything that's happened, and when he was a teenager, he was involved in a major incident on the planet Termina. Time finally decided to bury his saber on a remote planet after that, unwilling to take on the responsibility that comes with it.

Time actually ended up meeting Sheik and donning Mandalorian armor some time after that in his teenage years. He doesnt always gel with Mandalorian warrior ideaology, but he doesn’t truly fit the Jedi way of his childhood anymore either, after all the war and death he’s seen. He's determined to be strong enough to protect those he cares about, like Malon.

Time doesn't entirely get along with the Chain at first. (Especially Warriors and Twilight; Warriors reminds him of his old Jedi master, who wore a red scarf, and Twilight's saber looks suspiciously familiar.) The boys eventually grew on him anyway, and he counts them among the people he cares about.

Sky

Sky comes from a gaseous planet in the Outer Rim with settlements that float in the clouds, constructed far above its surface.

Sky's planet is a bit of a cosmic mystery, since it should be impossible for islands of solid rock to float; some theorize that it was constructed instead of naturally occurring, or that there is a unique combination of magnetic fields and orbits that make it possible, but no one knows for certain. Loftwings are part of the planet's ecosystem of impossible floating islands, and are an important part of the culture there.

Being so remote, the Empire didn't show much interest in Sky's home planet until Ghirahim showed up. The Empire hasn’t taken over his home yet, and he is determined to keep it that way, along with the rest of the Knights of Skyloft (including Sun). Ghirahim's interest in the planet involved rumors that there was an old Jedi temple hidden on its surface, and the secrets that were hidden within it.

Those rumors turned out to be true; there was an ancient abandoned temple on one of the floating islands, and Sky and Sun ended up discovering it before Ghirahim did. Sky also found a protocol droid named F1, and with Fi's help he and Sun managed to forge their own sabers with the only remaining kyber crystals there.

Sky's connection to the Force manifests mostly as visions, and he occasionally experiences strange, cryptic dreams as a result.

Linked Universe AU belongs to @ linkeduniverse!

Ancient Loz AU Story

10,000 years before the events of BOTW the Princess of Hyrule and the Hero who wields the sword that seals the Darkness first fought off the Calamity. With the help of the Sheikah, Guardians, Champions and the Divine Beasts. However, the hero and her best friend; the Prince of the Gerudo, were now missing. The only one to return from the fight was the Princess… Bloodied and bruised. She emerged from the castle alone. No longer the energetic, and free spirited person she used to be. Now, she is filled with a sole dedication to her Kingdom. But cold, and filled with deep sorrow. She orders the Sheikah to create shrines to train the next hero.They prepare the towers, store the Guardians under the castle till they are needed. Research started on the slate where it can be used for building infrastructure and even battle. Anything to help prepare for another Calamity.

The Gerudo Prince wasn't seen again and the heroes identity was forgotten But, the Royal blood of Hylia lives on….

Link is from a traveling caravan. His family has blood from the ancient Zonai tribe. He travels with a decent size troupe along with his sister, father and grandmother.

He meets Zelda during a festival where he was entering an archery contest in castletown. Zelda, who was disguised as Sheik, was also entering. She beat him at the contest(barely), but was extremely bothered by how good he was.

The festival goes on for about 3 days and at the end there is the sword ceremony where all the people coming of age(18) can attempt to pull the sword. She was presiding over it and witnessed him pull the sword and his whole life change. Not long after they meet officially and Link is appointed as her Knight; She introduces him to Ganondorf, her best friend from childhood.

And the chaos and comrade-ere ensues~

Over 3 years they travel, train, fall in love and wait for the day when the evil is supposed to show itself. With no sign of the great evil, they start to relax a bit. But that is when it strikes. Ganon travelling by himself at this time. Explores a cave in the Gerudo desert and encounters something ominous. Whispers in the dark speak to him and his fears and wants and his distaste for the King of Hyrule…. The voice is familiar, much too familiar, and before he can fight back it consumes him. When he awakes he is alone. He isn't instantly ‘evil’ but over time it twists his thoughts and actions. His closest friends and mother grow concerned. He becomes harsher and radical. Cruel. During a secret meeting with the King, Ganon assassinates him. Zelda happens upon Ganon covered in blood. She thinks he's hurt and is concerned by his behavior the past year. He snaps. He tells her every dark thing he has been thinking, and that he killed her father. In shock, and devastated, she can’t move as Ganon is about to strike her. But Link manages to get to her in time because the master sword was glowing, something he has never seen before but an instinct so old took over him. He races to escape with her. Ganon takes over the castle. But only as a steward because the King and the Princess are nowhere to be found. No one is the wiser to his malevolent plots. Yet. He knows she has to act fast since Zelda and Link escaped.

Zelda and Link make it all the way to Kakariko Village and Impa and they are all Informed that the Calamity is upon them. No one can believe it is their Ganondorf who is doing this but it is undeniable. They grieve, but they must act fast. With the help of the Sheikah they gather the guardians, monks and send word to the Races and Champions to prepare for battle. Zelda listens as Link hums an old Zonai Lullaby his mother used to sing to him. And it makes her remember something she read about. A story about there being an ancient Zonai device below the castle that would help defeat the Demon King.

Impa knows the tunnels She can help them sneak in. So they prepare to infiltrate the castle.

Under the castle they find the Zonai Artifacts that were left behind for sealing the great evil.

Ganon's followers saw them enter however and informed him. Knowing this is his chance he stops all pretenses and releases his power. Unleashing a mob of monsters and a cloud of malace into the castle and across Hyrule. But the Champions and Shekah are prepared to meet them.

Looking around for any clue. Trying to think of anything they read or that Link heard from his family that could be used to turn on the sealing jewelry. They don’t know how to activate it, but Ganon is going to be upon them soon as they had to fight through hordes of monsters beforehand.

Out of the dark behind them he emerges.

Zelda and Link manage to avoid the surprise attack. They both go on the defensive. They fight and try to reason with him. They can’t believe this is their friend, their lover. The fight is tough, because they all know each other's moves after training together for years along with the emotional turmoil. Zelda tells Link he needs to figure out how to activate the artifact if they are to succeed. She will hold him off. But by this point they are both exhausted.

Ganon manages to cut Link, spraying blood over the floor and the statue. Link falls to the floor and Ganon towers over him ready to strike him down, but Zelda blasts him away. Ganon turns his attention to her. Annoyed with her meddling and manages to land a blow on her also. Cutting the tip of her right ear off.

The statue lights up from the blood. The blood of a zonai. That  was another part of the Lullaby from Links family Zelda realizes. The Jewelry glows and expands before flying off the wrists of the statue to Link. He is surrounded by a green glowing light that blasts Ganon and Zelda back. The bands constrict around his arms and legs disintegrating the clothing underneath. He screams. Zelda watches on in horror as Link transforms before her. His skin is turning black and his bones and skin stretch until he is 6 ft tall. What did she get him into? This was supposed to help them what was happening… She is living in a nightmare. What else will she have to give up. She cries as she looks at him, feeling his pain and fear. His hair band she had given him falls from his hair. Rolling across the floor towards her. “..Zelda….” He says 

She picks up the hair band and goes to him! But he is not really responding. He is restrained and struggling within himself. His head is filled with the spirits of the Zonai he knows what he must do…he knows this is the last time he will see Zelda and Ganon. To seal the Demon King he must sacrifice himself. He says the last part of the Lullaby to Zelda and she knows. This is it. She kisses him. Though a bit strange now that he's so tall and his lips are cold. Ganon is getting up across the cavern from them, laughing. He mocks them and their weak attempts at thwarting him. One last clash. Zelda manages to get his weapon from him and Link plunges his arm into Ganons chest activating the sealing power. Glowing green. They both freeze in place and all is quiet. Entombed under the castle. The malice and monsters disappear. Zelda cautiously goes up to them. She doesn't touch them lest she break the spell somehow. The only thing she does is grab the hair bangle that fell to the floor in the final fight. It was the one from Ganon’s hair. And she left for the surface.

Alone.

Thanks for Reading! <3

[linderosse]

Saw you were open for art suggestions! I loved your Link and Kaladin art from a while back - might I suggest Shallan meeting one of the Zeldas?

Heck yeah, an excuse to do more Stormlight Archives x Zelda!

OoT Zelda would get along well with Shallan. And OoT Sheik would get along *really* well with Veil :)

(I have so many ideas for this little set of crossovers hahaha)

OoT Link | Kaladin

[crazylittlejester]

*slowly appears*

I FOUND YOU!! (I read ur Fics on ao3 and had no clue u had a tumblr so u have no idea how happy I am :3!)

also,

If ur still in a talking or yapping or whatever kinda mood do you have any headcannons or something on Mask/Time, Tune/Wind, and Link/Wars?

*slowly fades away because this took way to much time to hit the ask button*

HELLO!! HI :3

im definitely in a yapping mood today!!

- Tune/Wind and Mask/Time have created so many little paradoxes as jokes and Warriors is completely oblivious to it. It’s just little inside jokes they have with each other that the other person doesn’t find funny until the second time they meet. One of them is always confused and the other one is always in on a hilarious little secret

- Time has hypermobile joints because of how often he transformed his body with the masks when he was younger, and it’s not uncommon for something to get popped out of place for him, and this has been effecting him since just before the War of Eras

- Wind is allergic to peanuts

- Warriors one time burnt a meal so fucking badly that the chain refused to let him forget about it and when Tune ran into him in the war he was physically incapable of not mentioning it (in a way that wouldn’t reveal he’d already met the captain)

- Time has a slight stutter that used to be significantly worse when he was much younger, and that’s part of why he signed so much as a kid. Warriors on the other hand didn’t want to be perceived as anything other than a Castle Town native and until he got the accent down perfectly, had Proxi speak for him. He didn’t need all of hyrule to know he was just some guy from some random ass village, they hated him enough already

- It was very hard for Tune to adjust to the younger version of Wars after seeing how much genuinely happier he’ll become. Like it actually broke his heart to see him that depressed, he didn’t know what to do with himself

- Wars’s Zelda literally lets Mask get away with whatever the fuck because they got super super close when she had to hide herself as Sheik since Mask knew it was her, and this has translated to Time being able to pull “not to worry, i have a permit” type shit with zero consequences

The Many Languages of Love - Friendship (Ocarina of Time)

Summary: When Zelda arrives soaking wet to a ceremony, her husband Pippin tries to help, and the two get to know each other a little better.

Setting: Zelpip! :D About ten years after OoT, so Zelda is 20. The pair began their arranged marriage about a month ago.

It wasn't Zelda's lucky day.

She'd wanted to patrol the perimeter to the Gerudo Desert after the increased activity with Hyrulian soldiers. She'd been concerned that perhaps reports were inaccurate, or her general was downplaying the issue, as he often did to try and appease her. Although Zelda knew her top general was loyal to death, he often still viewed her as the little princess who wandered the halls of the castle.

She was not that little girl anymore. And even at that age, she'd been willing to step up and do her part, get her hands dirty. She'd wanted to. She didn't like lingering about the castle in her fancy dresses, ordering others about without ever doing anything herself.

But she hadn't expected the absolute downpour that had fallen from the sky on her way back to the castle.

Hardly anyone knew of her alter ego, Sheik. Impa knew because she had trained her. Link knew because Zelda had wanted him to accompany her on a mission, and she trusted him - he had helped Hyrule so much, after all, and he had finally started to not act strangely around her.

But that was about it.

So, naturally, for her to go on a mission as Sheik she had to sneak out. And the best time to do so was between different venues, namely between her council meeting last night and the party tonight.

She'd really hoped that the rain would stop long before she got back to Castle Town, but it only seemed to get heavier. It covered her footsteps well enough, but once she reached the castle, she started leaving a trail, dribbling water like some rebellious teenager who had snuck out after bedtime.

It was embarrassing, really. And there was no way she'd have enough time to dry off before the event.

Zelda at least made it to her quarters before she could be discovered, but it wasn't even ten minutes before there was a knock at her door. She jumped, hoping it was just Impa, but instead found her husband peeking in.

"Uh... Zelda?"

She tried not to be exasperated, truly. Pippin was fairly innocent, and seemed like a sincere man. But she did not need this on top of everything else she was dealing with tonight.

"I'll see you at the party, I just need a bit more time to prepare," she said, anxiously trying to towel dry her hair and only succeeding in making it frizzy.

Pippin furrowed his brow, nose scrunching a little as he stayed in the doorway. "Did you go out in the rain?"

"No," Zelda hastily answered, far too hastily, honestly. "I just got out of a nice long bath. Lost track of time."

Pippin watched her a moment longer and then his expression relaxed, and he sighed. "I got caught taking too long of a bath as well, I'm afraid. Though I got out a little faster than you."

What a strange thing to say. She didn't really care if he took a long bath or...

Oh. He was playing along.

"I get lost in stories in my mind, I suppose," Pippin admitted. "I just wanted to find somewhere quiet. But anyway, I won't waste your time. I can go handle matters at the banquet until you're ready to join."

Pippin paused as he turned to leave, and added, "My sister often had the same issue. She found that a braid tended to hide things better. I learned to braid hair because of that."

Well, Zelda certainly couldn't braid hair. She hardly could take care of her hair, letting transformation magic tuck it away and letting servants handle it the rest of the time.

She didn't want servants touching her. She didn't need rumors spreading about where she could've been out in the rain.

"Help me with my hair, then?" she asked, facing him more fully to seem a little more welcoming.

Pippin was silent a moment before slowly entering the room. Zelda sat on a chair at her desk, throwing her damp hair over her shoulder.

Pippin's hands were gentle as he started to detangle her hair, dividing it into three pieces. He paused in his work, and when she glanced up he was scrutinizing the locks, biting his lips.

"Is something wrong?" she questioned.

"I'm debating which braid will hide the frizz the best," he answered.

Zelda laughed. "How many braids do you know?"

"All of them," her husband replied, somewhat exasperated. "My sister insisted."

Zelda chuckled, looking at her reflection in the window. She wondered what it was like to have a sister, to not be the only child in a large, cold castle.

"So what were you getting caught up in while you were bathing?" she prompted, curious if he truly had meant something else.

Pippin was quiet before starting to braid her hair once more. "Well, I was attempting to find somewhere quiet where I felt less... seen. Perhaps the bath would have been a preferable spot, but then the servants come in, and--"

Her husband cut himself off, and when she glanced up his eyes were wide in realization that he'd slipped up.

"Apologies," he said quietly. "I suppose there's a reason I didn't speak much at political functions back home."

"It's okay," Zelda assured him just as softly. "I don't always enjoy being perceived either. Though I am very used to it, as I imagine you are as well. Do you... feel comfortable here?"

"Y-yes," Pippin answered carefully. "I just... there's... it's nothing, really. The servants are all very good and kind, and..."

Zelda pulled away from him entirely, turning in the chair and raising an eyebrow.

"It's Ember, isn't it?" she questioned flatly, a smile trying to pull at her lips.

"Heavens, yes," Pippin let out like the words were water pressed against a dam, finally being released. "She's so--"

"Overbearing?"

Pippin bit his lip again. "Well, I was going to say eager."

Zelda finally did laugh. "You hid in the rain to get away from the head maid?"

Pippin shifted, cheeks blushing, but her humor eased his anxieties. "...Yes."

"Oh, Pippin," she giggled. "I haven't done that since I was a child. But I do understand. What was she harassing you about?"

"Tonight, actually," Pippin sighed. "I'd already read up on the guests, I didn't need... well, never mind."

"It's all right," Zelda smirked and winked before turning back to face the window. "Here, finish up my hair and we'll face her wrath together. I'm sure she's going mad over our tardiness."

Pippin finally did chuckle at that. "Probably so. I can stall once I'm finished with your hair."

"I would... appreciate that," Zelda finally said, feeling some relief. It was... nice having a friend in the castle. "I won't be long."

Pippin finished her braid in silence before exiting. It was a small moment, but Zelda felt a little lighter for it. After feeling like a stranger was in her home the last month, she was finally feeling like Pippin was more than just a guest who served a purpose.

Maybe they could be friends.

Its midnight and I can't sleep so fuck it, here are some oot zelink headcanons

Link gifted Zelda the moon tear because it was one of the few things in Termina that reminded him of the beauty there was in that world and wanted her to have something that was as equally cherished (also it matched her eyes)

They share a bed after he returns mostly because of the nightmares he has and can only sleep soundly with her next to him. She also found herself sleeping better with him around, especially hearing his heartbeat.

He tries out different skills to replace swordsmanship (he wants to feel useful in a way that isint with death and war) and cooking ends up being the best so he often makes treats for Zelda. Especially when she's stuck in meetings.

When his hair grows out she braids it, and adds little flowers to it (he melts everytime)

When she gets a random vision from her other life, she disassociates hard and Link always holds her hand so he can keep her grounded and remind her where and when she is. (She does the same for Link when he disassociates and forgets which body he's in)

Zelda absolutely loves expressing her love via poetry and words so she sneaks in notes in between his pillows, books, nooks and crannies that she knows Link will find and also professing it as he blushes from it. Meanwhile Link is more of a gift giver and acts of service so he likes doing things that will make her day easier along with any gifts such as a sweet treat, a drawing or even a kiss.

They're cuddly as hell, you will find them entangled when sleeping that you wonder how the fuck are they comfortable (think cat like)

Whenever they go out in secret (aka Zelda as Sheik) they tend to be more affectionate since there arent any prying eyes, with Sheik kissing Link more often and Link using his words more

They have a lot of pet names that are so specific to each other

They will take any time they can to spend with each other because after being separated so often it's become a fear that something could happen to the other if they aren't nearby
