#lu Phantom

[wickedcriminal]

That moment when your best friend disappears suddenly for like 3 weeks and you think he got kidnapped or murdered but it turns out he was just on a time traveling vacation with all his past lives

(Goes with this LU Spirit post on my Zelda blog 😂😂)

[the-little-robyn]

I recently hopped on the LU train (pun intended)

Spirit and Phantom (spirit tracks Link and Zelda) are dating. I headcanon they became official after the events of the game and during their adventure with the other Links and Zeldas, they write letters to each other. Alot.

Phantom thought his train themed pick up lines are cute, while the others....not so much. Time is the one who tells the others to leave them be (he understands the importance of corny phase of young love lmao. It's a canon event)

Wielders of Wisdom: Introductions Part 4

Phantom (Guardian) [ST]

Driven and determined; orderly; kind of a diva

Surprisingly strong after Malladus fortified her body for his own use

She started dating Spirit after he renounced his hero status to go back to being a humble train engineer. Orders him around all the time (they genuinely love each other).

Her singing voice is enchanting :)

Story: [Redacted until further notice]

Echo/Aurora (Dreamer) [EoW, CoH, AoL]

Once, she was the hero of her era. Now she’s Depressed^TM and barely holding it together for Dawn’s sake.

She doesn’t sleep much anymore.

Desperately misses her home, her family, and Silent. Very fond of Hyrule and Dawn. A small part of her is bitterly jealous that Dawn gets to be summoned away into other eras, while Aurora seems to be trapped after the Great Decline— but she loves Dawn and would never begrudge her that opportunity.

Her first and second adventures have made her an excellent dancer

Story: Since her awakening, Aurora has done her best to be the older sister Dawn never had. But the world is still devastated by the Great Decline, mistrust runs rampant, and it’s hard adapting to life centuries in the future. Dawn keeps telling her about the other Zeldas, but neither Dawn nor Aurora have been able to summon the others to their era, and Aurora hasn’t been able to leave. Aurora will do what it takes to support Dawn’s goal to help their people prosper— but who knows? She might be keeping secrets of her own…

Wild: *sneezes* Flora: Bless you Spirit: *sneezes* Phantom: Are you okay babe? Are you getting sick? Do you need a blanket? Wind: *sneezes* Tetra: Oh my Hylia. Shut up!

[weirdnotal]

My Accent headcannons for the lu chain (and etc):

Time: was taught hylian by trees???? Almost has no tone/infliction in voice (he's working on it)

Malon: Tennessee accent all the way, with that nice hook at the end too (non southerners imagine dolly parton)

Lullaby: very formal proper hylian, dignitary style

Warriors: British military like he's reading from a manual

Sheik: I don't know much about her but the sheikah definitely take inspiration from Japan

Twilight: Appalachian accent as thick as raw honey (non appalachians have yall ever heard of one looking it up)

Midna: try 'n' convince me she don't have a loud ass Louisiana accent (non southerners go watch princess and the frog) (this is totally not for my Midna is African American agenda)

Dusk: real formal like n all that

Sky: That's a Midwesterner (he genuinely tried to get Wild and Rulie to eat jello salad once)

Sun: completely Midwestern

Groose: spends a lot of time around the other two^ but his parents are Gerudo (Arabic/middle eastern)

Four: the minish have always reminded me of the Icelandic tales of little elves

Dot: same formal accent, maybe more like Four's

Age/Cal(calamity): very formal british accent almost royal but also uses some Korean (Zora) words

Mipha: Korean accent (thicker than Sidon's)

Fauna: royal and tight lipped british

Wild: used to be more British (kinghts!), but now is more southern cause twilight has corrupted him

Flora: much more informal than the other zeldas

Legend: Scottish accent, but he usually hides it really well, so you can't really tell at all unless he's mad or tired

Fable: Scottish asf (non Scottish people imagine Merida)

Ravio: fairly normal, but if provoked, he will speak like an Italian mobster wife until he gets his way

Hyrule: Rulie is Irish or Welsh all the way (especially with half fae/fey Hyrule)

Dawn: pretty similar to Hyrule

Aurora: transatlantic accent!!!!!

Spirit: he's always reminded me of Hugo Cabret, so cockney british accent it is (this grates on War's patience)

Phantom: can be formal if she has to but usually just sticks with cockney as well

Wind: Okay look, I love scottish pirate Wind, but I raise you patois or creole pirate Wind

Tetra: Wind's accent but double the amount and also the volume she says it at

I like the different flavors of wisdom you can get.

I saw that you put Spirit into your theatre AU and I am thrilled. Tell me all about your headcanons, please.

Spirit Tracks is my absolute favorite loz game, so of course I had to add Spirit! He needs more love!

As for headcanons, here are some of my fav:

He and Wind are almost identical. This leads to confusion, such as one of the theater boys trying to rush "Wind" (its Spirit, Wind was out sick) inside for fight call while he tries to run.

His facial expressions show exactly how he is feeling, no matter what. If someone were to ask if he wanted to go out for lunch, and he didn't want to, he would make the most unenthusiastic face but still say sure so he doesn't hurt their feelings.

He and Phantom are in this awkward "We are not dating but clearly know we are into each other" phase. Because of this, their friends Dot and Fable make sure to bring them everywhere together, just to mess with them.

Do not call him a mechanical engineer. He is a civil engineer, and he will let you know that. No, he can't build a rocket. No, he doesn't work with chemicals. But he can design a sturdy ass bridge.

Somehow, he just knows everything about everyone and is not afraid to sit with his little friend group in a room and talk about it all. It's like he has eyes and ears everywhere. Warriors jokes that he gets the info from the theater ghost, but it's just a joke, right…right?

College Radio AU Sketch Dump

Got consumed by my College Radio AU, remembered I did these sketches forever ago. Here you go (also sorry Tumblr's killing the quality of them I swear they're not blurry)

I don't have much to say about any of these other than somehow Age looks like Warriors but rest assured--that's Age there with Wild, Tulin, and Revali

(Also yes I made everyone human it was easier than getting hung up on the worldbuilding)

[socialc1imb]

They are on a date (they don’t know this yet)

Do NOT repost my art without asking/without credit.

[emissary-of-the-moon]

Spirit and Phantom are British

[bokettochild]

Since Spirit isn’t a thing in normal LU he and his Zelda love sitting in a skybox and Waldorf&Statler-ing whatever’s playing that evening

(Bonus points if they’re the ones making huge donations to the theater to keep the House going, hence the private seats)

Spirit is Wind's best friend in school, and Phan is his not-so-secret girlfriend. She's actually Arty's little sister, and while too young to perform, she cheers Arty on at every performance. And, well, she likes bringing her bestie *ahem*boyfriend*ahem* with her. Their parents come when they can, but they're both busy people, so it's mostly only the big performances that they make it to.

Phan's family are huge patrons of the opera though, and yes, they do have a reserved box, with their name on it (literally)

This comic is based on @linderosse 's Weilders of Wisdom comic where EoW and AoL Zelda are the same person. I am obssessed with that concept and the angst potential it has.

I decide to put my own personal twist on it, where Silent's (EoW Link) ghost lingers in the chamber where Aurora/Echo slept, unable to move on to the after life. Phantom (ST Zelda) is able to see spirits and ghosts after the events of her game and reasures Silent that what happend centuries ago was not his fault. Poor boy feels like he failed to protect his princess 😢

[linderosse]

Hi! I love your art and your Wisdom AU. I have a question about it. Are you still keeping Legend and Fable siblings after Jojo said they weren’t related in the Q and A, or are you sticking with Linked Universe canon?

Thank you!!! Glad you like it!

Hm, I haven’t seen this Q&A! Can I get a link to it? :)

The reason some Zelda fans believe ALttP Link and Zelda are related is this:

Those are the dying words of Link’s uncle. Some English fans (Edit: choose to)(Edit: nowadays) believe the end of this sentence was supposed to be “sister,” since nothing else really fits (I’ve heard “soulmate” (Edit: or “destiny”) as an option, but it seems strange for Link’s uncle to be telling him who he’s supposed to end up with). Thus the headcanon of ALttP Link and Zelda being siblings.

The Japanese text is even more ambiguous, since it reads something along the lines of “You are the princess’s…” This means the line was probably meant to say something like “You are the princess’ only hope.” Unfortunately, this version doesn’t seem to work as well with the English translation, while the “sister” line still works with the Japanese text. The intention is different from the way some fans choose to interpret it. :)

To complicate matters further, the remake (2003) removed the line from that scene, although the line is still present elsewhere in the game— Blind the Bandit disguises himself as Link’s dying uncle and repeats the same lines, and he says the original phrase (Edit: ending with, “You are the princess’…”). The devs are definitely aware of the original line. (Edit: And they’ve fixed the translation, lol.)

So there’s the background info!

Now, on to the main part: regarding following LU canon. The truth is: I am already changing a few things from Linked Universe, the most important of which are these:

Legend and Fable are siblings

Tetra and Wind are not Phantom and Spirit

Shadow and the Four Swords manga are canon

Time and Wind (and other relevant characters) remember Hyrule Warriors

Why am I making these changes for my AU?

Discussed above!

I’m much more of a Spirit Tracks fan than Jojo seems to be :). And when considering the Zeldas, Phantom is markedly different from Tetra in both personality and skills. I’m sticking to LoZ canon over LU canon here. Phantom deserves to be her own character!

I’ve been a fan of the FSA manga for a decade and a half now, so it has long affected the way I see the Zelda series. I also love Shadow and Four’s history— it adds a unique twist to the classic Zelda formula. Shadow is therefore canon in Wielders of Wisdom and the parallel LU story, The Secrets We Keep. Expect Shadow’s backstory to play a role somewhere in the combined Wisdomverse :)

I’m new to the Hyrule Warriors fandom, but I love the connection it gives Warriors with Time and Wind— and other characters :). This is also going to be addressed in The Secrets We Keep. Check that out for more info!

Many of you who write/read fanfics for LU have seen these ideas before. Interpreting canon in different ways has always been an integral part of the Zelda fandom, because canon is itself can be contradictory. That’s one of the things that makes this fandom so fun <3.

And the most important thing is that these changes fit the story I want to tell better.

I’m going to do my best to stick to LU whenever possible, but I want to tell a fun, engaging story, and sometimes that will mean taking a different path: sometimes following LoZ canon more closely, sometimes interpreting things my own way :).

So, to answer your question: I will probably be keeping Legend and Fable as siblings. It’s a popular headcanon among fans. I believe the story I’m telling for Fable works better with other romantic interests for Legend. And I want to stress that he and Fable are just as fiercely loyal to each other.

That said, I definitely don’t mind if you believe differently! I don’t really emphasize romance anyways, and I’m not here to police the fandom. Please feel free to read the references to Legend calling Fable “sister” as friendship, or just ignore it, or whatever you wish! I don’t mind who you ship with who.

Only preference is: please don’t ship the Wielders with each other, since they’re canonically related by blood and spirit :). Other than that, anything goes as far as I’m concerned.

Anyways. This got really long, didn’t it?

I wanted to answer the question as thoroughly as I could. Please feel free to ask more questions, or stop by my quiet little art streams and ask me live if you want an immediate answer! I will always do my best to respond :)

You can find all previous responses under the tag: #lin responds !

Spirit: Ugh, my lips hurt. Phantom: *kisses Spirit's chapped lips* There, I made it better! Spirit: *unable to form coherent sentences* Wind: *see's how sweet Phantom and Spirit are being* Tetra, my lips hurt. Tetra: *steps on Wind's foot* Wind: Auch! Tetra: Well, now you're not thinking about your hurting lips.

Finally! I have defeated procrastination! (At least for this drawing)
