#link's family

[BotW-TotK Family and Legacy] Modern AU (Wishful AU).

Something different from my list of WIPs. A lighthearted pic of Link hugging his Mum (OC), Selene. Cuz I just need some wholesomeness.

some Link hcs I have :>

i love the idea that Link takes after his mom. like i imagine his dad as being this tall muscly dude with the squarest jawline you've ever seen and his mom is a little matronly-sort of lady who works 24/7 to keep her kids happy and healthy and ensure they feel loved. Link learned how to love and care from his mother, whose height, eyes, hair, and heart he inherited, and he learned to fight and protect and put his family first from his dad, whose emotional and physical strength he inherited.

i also imagine Link being like the 3rd of 7 kids and he was the only son. he grew up fighting alongside the men in his life for the women in his life, and over the story this doesn't change. he's obedient and serious and incredibly committed to everything he does. he never turns down a challenge.

while Age of Calamity isn't canon to the main story, i do think it reveals a lot about the characters. one thing I think about Link is he is very humble. he's just a knight's boy. i imagine he doesn't originally want to wield the Master Sword, but he pulls it out of the pedestal bc he felt like he needed to. Hyrule needs the knight capable of pulling the sword, and if that knight needs to be Link, then he will accept it, he will submit himself to his duty.

also can we talk more about the fact that Link was strong enough to pull the master sword when he was TWELVE???? he canonically was about 12-13 when he pulled it, meaning he was worthy to wield the sword when he was really young. this kid is insane!!

i also think the theory that the house you can buy in BotW in Hateno was Link's childhood home is very interesting, especially paired with the method of how he regains his memories. to complete the Captured Memories quest, you have to visit the locations in the pictures in the Sheikah Slate, BUT what about the Champion memories? he regains those memories by seeing things related to them: Revali's landing, the Thunder Helm, Mipha's statue, and Daruk's face carved into the Goron's version of Mt Rushmore. based on this, seeing things that were significant to him/people he knew and loved is enough to trigger a memory. if Link really grew up in hateno, then he should be able to regain his memories just by wandering around the village, if only in flashes. maybe just remembering the name of the lady who used to own the armor shop when he was a kid, the song his mother sang to him to get him to sleep, the games he would play with his siblings and the village kids, colorful banners the townspeople would put up around the village for holidays. little things.

link is so interesting in this game, and since he doesnt have his memories and just about nothing about his past has been canonically confirmed by Nintendo, there's a lot of room for us fic writers to play around in, and oh boy do I intend to make full use of this empty space of possibilities >:)

A birthday gift for @aufigirl / @aufi-creative-mind some time ago, you're a great friend and creative brain cell to have :]

New brushes mean more chances to draw Lincoln! >:) Here are some drawings of Young Lincoln and Warriors from @wutheringmights Linked Universe ao3 fanfic! The fic says that Warriors looked a lot like his father when he was younger so I wanted to try making my hand at how I pictured him!

more of my take on link's family, featuring his uncle and his grandma

[lolabearwrites]

[olailamajnoon]

Bruce, who has a problem expressing emotions because he was teased for them in school as the "crazy Wayne kid"

Bruce, who used to clutch Alfred at night and wet himself due to his nightmares.

Bruce, who got flashbacks till his mid-twenties everytime he walked down an alley.

Bruce, who would hug a weeping Dick Grayson and stay with him until the night terrors were over, humming a soft lullaby that Bruce's mother sang for him

Bruce, who hardened his mouth and his life to keep the anger in check after Jason, because he knew if he didn't every criminal would pay.

Bruce, who sees Damian chopping up shrubbery and thinks "I was far worse as a child inside, it's a good thing he's letting it out"

Bruce, who can't walk by a homeless child in the street without calling his special Wayne Foundation liaison (who he keeps on speed dial) and asking her to find "one more spot"

Bruce, who sees Selina petting kittens and robbing the rich and thinks "if I could have had a life with her, that would have been nice"

Bruce, who looks at Cass' x-rays and sees her knit bones and swears to god he will break the bones of whoever's responsible for her upbringing

Bruce, who gives Tim projects that he himself can do faster because he sees attention-starved Tim trying to please him

Bruce, who looks at Clark smiling and thinks of what he can buy for his birthday to make him smile just like that.

Bruce to his parents in their graves after not being able to catch a criminal: I'm sorry. I've failed you. I'll try harder.

People who don't know Bruce: why is that man so unfeeling.

Bad DC writers: idk just that way i guess

let’s not talk about this, ever

DAY 28- SOUTH LANAYRU SKY ARCHIPELAGO

Link think’s Zelda’s fear of heights is understandable, but his life would be a lot easier if she just let herself get shot out of the skyview towers to go exploring with him. Oh well. Look at all the hearty radishes and weird flowers he’s found! (With no future sight to warn the people of the past, stories left behind are unfinished, unfettered, and incredibly biased.)

(This is a totk-botw au called Familiar Familiar, and it all devolved when Zelda didn’t go back in time. History’s written by the victors…)

((Check out my patreon! Full of zelda sketches and crimes))

Is it still awkward family photos if it's technically only Four??

Yes😉

A gift for dear sweet @luna-loveboop so she can get better! I'm sorry you've been so sick for so long, love🥺❤️

[thetoyboxs]

As the oldest of four I say I'm qualified enough to say, close enough!

[BotW - TotK: Family and Legacy] Their Fates - WIP Sketches

Sooo... I found these old 2021 WIP sketches that were sitting in my folder for a long time. About what were the fates for each member of Link's family prior, during, and after the Calamity.

...

The Mother, Selene, passes from an illness 11 years prior to the Calamity. Her last days filled with fever dreams and on her last, accepts her fate with hope as her legacy.

The Father, Jun, dies during the Calamity, entombed in the Akkala Citadel after securing the precious secret vaults of Hyrule's knowledge for future legacy. But his last breath were of regret and sorrow.

The Son, Link, gravely injured and emtombed in the Shrine of Ressurection in a purgatory state of prolonged healing. His body slowly repaired but his memories slowly wiped away with time.

The Daughter, Aria, survives the Calamity and now finds herself in the scorched ruined remains of Hyrule. Scarred, alone with a silent anger at the world and the pain it had inflicted on her. But must carry on with this bitter legacy.

...

:')

Survey says: She ain't lyin!

Love at first sight ♥️ Happy Father's day!!

Note: I just panicked and sketched this in half an hour cuz i forgot it was Father's Day and I wouldn't have time to draw today!! 😆 Oh well, next week's drawing is already ready!

[fallenleafofmaple]

Welp :) I always wanted to try sketching out how I pictured Lincoln from @wutheringmights fic Call them Brothers on ao3 so I figured now would be a good time since I also wanted to try out some new brushes.

[melioristicbeast]

Was inspired by Puzzle pieces by @isthatbloodonhisshirt to draw a snowy landscape!

The Hales own and operate a ski resort, the Beacon Hills teens all go on a vacation there but since Stiles has a torn ACL he ends up spending more time with a certain grumpy employee while his friends go on the slopes ;)

Another huge recommendation - I'm a sucker for domestic scenes, 'you're intruiging in a way I can't put my finger on', and who doesn't love a lil' 'sharing body heat to stave off hypothermia'. The way this author writes dialogue and describes body language especially makes all their works a treat to read!

(Also - I have more free time on my hands than expected the next while which i intend to fill out with working out and drawing, so feel free to shoot me a request (: and thank you for all the love on my art so far!)
