my favorite part about the hebra region is how a lot of the names are based off of types of birds, because of the presence of the rito there. dronoc's pass = condor. lake kilsie = silkie chickens. sturnida hot spring = sturnidae, starling birds. tickles me pink or something like that.

Sky isn't First's reincarnation, Warriors is.

Heads up, this is just a headcanon! I am using LOZ canon in parts to help fortify my thinking but again, this isnt to prove a point!

Also tagging people below! I was going to reblog my og post but this came out too long and would just be better as its own post!

I believe that Sky isn't the reincarnation of Hyila's chosen hero, but instead the hero's incarnation. While both the fandom (loz and lu) and the canon use the two words interchangeably, they truly do have two different meanings, even if they are considered 'small.'

So does this mean I believe Warriors to be the hero's direct reincarnation? In a way, yes I do. I believe that there are some threads in canon that can stablize this idea, but most are based on personal preference and headcanons.

If you wanna know more, ill be going more into it under the cut!

Firstly, the difference between reincarnation and an incarnation!

Reincarnation, defined as “a person or animal in whom a particular soul is believed to have been reborn”

an example of this would be Sky, Sun and Demise. We see many of these reincarnations, but most notably and factual would be Demise’s reincarnation to Ganondorf. They share the same soul, at least the one from OOT does.

Incarnations, Defined as “a person who embodies in the flesh a deity, spirit, or abstract quality.”

Now, there arent any solidly proven instances in LOZ but most can assume that Nayru, Din and Farore from the OOS and OOA games/mangas are incarnations of the deities they are named after. But a more well rounded example would be to look at mythos in the real world, specifically Greek mythos with their gods Gaia, Thanatos, Nyx, and more.

Sky, or SS Link, has been believed to be the reincarnation of the First hero (“First”), is it even easier to prove him to be a incarnation. Sky, in the canon of Skyward Sword (“SS”) is not proven to be the direct reincarnation of the chosen hero- he is said to be the chosen hero, and plays such roll in the story of SS but there is nothing that says he is the direct reincarnation of First. Perhaps there is evidence that states otherwise, that is likely in the vast canon of Legend of Zelda, but it feels (and is stated) that the cycle of ‘reincarnation’ starts with SS link and his Zelda.

An incarnation feels like the better fit for the character of Sky. He is, and would be, the incarnation of the Chosen Hero, a heroic spirit known for his courage and loyalty to the divine. Hyila in the uncanon manga stated that she would meet First again, but again we do not get any notion that this refers to any reincarnation like the goddess takes.

Now for Warriors, or Hw Link, there are obviously the visual similarities that connect Warriors with First as both are the only one seen to wear scarves, as well as the one shoulder pauldrons. But it should also be noted the similarities in the stories both partake in. The main concept is very similar to the rest of the courageous heroes, but these two seem to be the only was who have fought in war of sorts, both battling against a dark army as the only hero able to fall the mighty leader.

Now, most of the rest of these thoughts would be based on the frames of headcanons rather than facts, as the idea behind this thought was of the poetic similarities between the two characters rather than facts within the LOZ or LU canon

Warriors and First being the 'leaders' of a war, neither being ready for such responsibilities yet being forced to none the less because they are the only ones able to hold such responsibilities

Both feeling unworthy of holding such power for being 'unpure' (First; being imprisoned for 4 years, Wars; encounters with Cia and/or having Dark Link being created)

Being experienced, infield fighters compared to dungeon crawlers, both of which are used to working with others in planning/fighting

First has been characterize within the fandom (and canon) as a recluse, naturally from his trauma of imprisonment yet even then he still has this authoritative status and energy to him. And while Warriors is seen as anything BUT a recluse in the fandom, it is still canon within the canon that he was infact a mute. So, its interesting to note how similar the two's nature would of been if certain characteristics in canon werent there (ie, HW link getting overconfident and prideful, which First shows little to no traits of in his appearances)

Back to characterization, both tend to be depicted as chivalrous men, either because of their roles as important 'military' figures or their natural personalities.

These are really just my beginning thoughts on this! Im....I like this idea a lot- as you can tell!

Practicing faces with the Links.

One of the "rules" of Bad Moon is that darkness is not equivalent to evil. So what does is mean to kill your shadow? Here are the Links that did that.

Light is Nayru's domain, the goddess of truth and stasis. Darkness is Din's domain, the goddess of lies and destruction/creation (not the same as evil though!). Farore is the transitory goddess, of change and movement. Typically Nayru and Din oppose each other, not necessarily because they dislike each other or anything, but because they're philosophical opposites. To kill your shadow is to be beholden to the truth, but also to stunt your own ability to remake yourself. To embrace your shadow is to be able to build anew, but also makes things unclear. All Links are, by default, blessed by Farore, but they can be favored by other gods as well.

Left is the original Link from the Legend of Zelda and the Adventures of Link. At the end of AoL he defeats his own shadow to prove worthy of taking the Tri-Force of Courage. He'd do it over again to save the princess, but removing part of yourself is a harrowing act, and injured him greatly. Everything is just so bright now. On the upside, he's by far the most accomplished at wielding magic in Nayru's domain, though his abilities with Din's domain have suffered.

Middle is Tiny, of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. He had defeated his shadow in the water temple, allowing him to earn Nayru's Love, but upon being sent back to the past (perhaps Zelda foresaw problems if he stayed) he regained his shadow, going so far as to free Dark Link from the temple. Tiny is a prodigious dark magic user, blessed by Din and the dead of Termina, but he's lost Nayru's Love for freeing his shadow instead of destroying it.

Right is the Lieutenant of Hyrule Warriors. Cia tore his shadow from him during his lowest point and force him to fight it. While he managed to take down part of it, he could only defeat it with the help of his allies, meaning his shadow is only partly fractured. He's still capable of using a wide range of magic, though he's not the same sort of raw magic wielder that Original Link and Tiny are, instead using it to augment his own strength or via tools.

Not shown: the Hero of Legend (ALttP, OoA/OoS, LA) does have shadow Links (as seen in ALBW) but they're not "his." They're the shadows he fought and defeated in the Palace of the Four Swords, possibly created from Four Swords Link. Eventually he figures out how to free them and they're basically his BFFs. Technically he has shadows in OoA, but ehhhh they don't really fight, they're just weird obstacles, so I'm going to say they're not actually his shadow.
