BotW Four Swords AU

i started thinking about this a couple months ago, then i drew a picture for it, and now here are my thoughts for your consideration, under a read more because... long.

-Vio is a Sheikah child, Blue a normal Hylian, Green a Hylian in Gerudo Town (his parents abandoned him and the Gerudo let him stay for some reason), Red is a Hylian but also a Rito baby (mom died in childbirth, dad in a freak lightning accident and the Rito took him in) -Quick plot points: set in the same time as Link wakes up, but plot twist, Link died and Impa/Purah/Robbie split his spirit (Spirit of the Hero) into four parts and hid them within places in Hyrule -These places are Rito Village w/ the elder, Kakariko with Impa, Gerudo Town with the chieftains (eventually Riju), and the ocean near Lurelin Village. These are all the places where, 100 years later, the kids are born, and for some odd reason these parts of the Hero’s Spirit latch onto them -They get older and Zelda from her place in Hyrule Castle finds out the Spirit has found people and tried to contact them through thoughts and dreams, until they start asking their local smart townsperson about it -They hear about Link and the battle 100 years ago, and whoever has been guarding the Hero’s Spirit gives it to them and tells them to find the other parts, reunite the hero and defeat ganon -They meet along the way journeying and team up, and basically be Link but four people

Okay so plot. But here are just, really random thoughts I have about this AU

-Red being a super skilled archer, not Vio -Vio being okay with a bow, but mostly just having mastered Sheikah fighting style (NINJA VIO PLS) -Blue being taught fishing and survival skills, though he only really knows how to fight with his fists -Green + Gerudo spear fighting -Red bringing the others to Hebra Mountains and Green literally freezing his butt off because he’s used to a desert -Vio in awe of literally every Shrine they come across, also Vio having the Sheikah Slate and taking pictures of everything like a nerd -Green being an epic sand seal rider and Blue being an excellent swimmer -SIDON AND RED BEING BFFS -Other kids’ BFFs: Blue and Riju, Vio and Purah, Green and Teba (dad complexes) -Vio going to Zora’s Domain and being like “wtf why is there water everywhere im uncomfortable�� -ABOUT SHADOW: he was created from the shattered fragments of the Hero’s Spirit when it got split, he lives in Vio’s shadow and Vio just kinda got used to his shadow moving around a lot without himself moving.  -Shadow helping them out by switching between their shadows and like... doing things for them through it like if he grabs one of Vio’s arrows the arrow moves with it even though he’s not really there -Also him using it against them and pranking them by putting rupees in the other’s bag - Green going back into Gerudo Town like... hi i’m back guys, these are my friends you wont let in, we have to take down the giant camel i’ve lived with for my whole childhood haha -Blue forcefully taking everyone back to Lurelin and showing them his Fishing Skills(tm) and how much everyone likes him -OMG. they beat a blight ganon and say... Mipha comes back and she’s like “hello li- you are not link.” and Green’s like “ya he died” “WHAT” “sorry” “eh ill see him in the afterlife, here take my healing magic” “awww yeah” -When Zelda congratulates them at the end, they say Shadow helped a lot and she uses her newfound sage powers to give him a body & soul instead of a half-formed shadow body and fragments of the Hero’s spirit -Red and Shadow forming a very complicated shadow-speak language and talking to each other all the time -Green’s hilarious tan lines after changing clothes from the Gerudo voe armor  -the first time they see a guardian - the thing doesn’t know who the heck to shoot, so they all just, run away -Red and Vio being natural shield surfers -Red teaching everyone how to use a bow and Green just being really bad at it for some reason -Fights over the Sheikah Slate - “vio you had it yesterday” “well im not done completing the compendium” “vio no one cares about the stupid compendium i wANT THE MAP” “YOU CANT EVEN READ IT BLUE” “WELL MAYBE IF I HAD IT I WOULD” “guys calm down shadow took it its in one of our bags” “HAHA! MY TURN” “SHADOW WHY DID YOU GIVE IT TO GREEN” -Just......... them adventuring and growing a team bond and being supportive of each other and having sibling fights and being nerds and bonding 24/7 

AND FOR THE FINALE: random parts of conversations that would totally happen if this was a thing 

-”did you know the ocean is a giant fish toilet” “BLUE WTF”  -”where are my rupees” “... did shadow give them to vio again?” “apparently” “SHADOW STOP PICKING FAVORITES” -”vio what is your shadow doing? its not following you” “oh yeah it does that sometimes. i think there’s another being in there...” “wtf” “cool” “i call him shadow. he’s good company, though he cant talk”  -”yeah about that... links dead” “oh ok, i’ll go meet him in the afterlife. take my magic defense power bye” /// “why are the ghosts here so chill? like, dang. those are some unfazed ghosts.” -”green you have ridiculous tan lines.” “fine, i wont wear this armor anymore” “red, you literally have an irregular belly tan from the rito clothes you cant speak here” “yeah tru” -”where’s vio?” “he went up the hill to talk to his best friend” “oh ok, let’s go up there so he doesnt spend four hours with purah like last time.” “shadow says you should never put two nerds in a room together.” “shadow, for once i agree with you”

Okay. That was long. But hey, i finally fleshed it out so... be proud of me
