Volga gets some spotlight for a change (hdw au)

Comes after Volga confronting Cia (and Link on Skyloft, but it’s slightly less necessary to understand this)

...

Volga seeks out and fights the strongest. That is his objective.

He goes where the sorceress tells him, leads monsters into battles as she deems fit. He sees others only as adversaries, evaluating them solely on the threat they pose, the strength they wield.

Nothing else matters.

Only his orders, and strength.

The Hylian army is at their gates, working steadily through the valley, and despite the sorceress increasing Volga’s power, they’re still advancing, calling upon the Great Fairy to aid them. Volga himself is forced to retreat back to Cia’s side, and he stands silently beside her, waiting for her orders.

She’s watching the battle with a look in her eye that grows steadily more enraged, her knuckles whitening on her staff. It isn’t long before she orders him back out, commanding him to find the princess and crush her.

Volga nods, preparing to obey, when the sorceress stops him, a manic look in her eyes.

“This time you will destroy them,” she snarls, and thrusts her hand against his chest.

Power rushes through him, greater than what he had received before, and Volga roars as it fills his veins, turning into a dragon and leaping into the air.

This time he will be the strongest.

Volga glides across the valley, making a beeline towards the army’s leader, the princess’s sword flashing across the battlefield. He lands with a roar, and she quickly turns her attention to him, eyes widening as she leaps out of the way of his first attack.

Volga is merciless, using his weapons of both spear and claws, shooting fire and dive bombing with his dragon form. The princess is annoyingly stubborn though, avoiding nearly all of his attacks, parrying blows and dodging flames.

Some distant part of Volga is impressed.

He snarls as she avoids yet another thrust of his spear, and the princess looks at him, something odd flashing in her gaze.

“Volga! Come to your senses!” she suddenly shouts, parrying an attack. “I know you to fight with honor! What glory is there to be found in using dark magic to win all of your battles?”

“Don’t mock me!” Volga snarls, slamming a clawed hand towards her. How dare she?

“Open your eyes!” Zelda shouts as she dodges, still not giving up. “I believed you to be a proud dragon warrior, not a mercenary for darkness!“

Their weapons clash, and Zelda looks up at Volga without fear, her blue eyes bright.

“Think of your family, Volga. Look past the darkness clouding your vision.”

Volga falters just a hair, a snarl dying in his throat. There is certainly no darkness clouding him, merely the extra power the sorceress provided, but Zelda’s words of family carry a spark of something different. Something... important?

Volga shakes his head, frowning.

...What had she said again?

The spark fades, and Volga roars, hitting her backwards with a clawed hand. The princess is thrown to the ground with a cry, but before Volga can press his attack, there’s a flash of blue and green, and the Hero stands in his way, sword raised.

He has a stricken expression on his face, but Volga barely registers it, roaring again as he goes to face the both of them. The princess regains her footing as the hero slams his shield up to block Volga’s spear, and the three of them resume the fight.

Other monsters join the attack, and the hero’s attention is drawn to keeping them away from his princess, mostly leaving her and Volga to fight alone. Volga draws constantly on the sorceress’s power, and it’s soon obvious the princess begins to flag against his brutal attacks.

She fights on though, tenacious as ever. Soon enough Volga finds their weapons locked again, her eyes fixed on his face.

“Knight Volga, I thought you a protector, a dragon of honor,” she says, voice breathless but earnest. Blood drips across her eye but she doesn’t loosen her grip to wipe it away. “This isn’t who you are, drawing on dark power, fighting in wars for a cause you don’t believe in!”

That persistent spark of something comes back in Volga’s mind, flickering in his thoughts, buzzing in his memory. It makes him falter, just a little.

“Please,” Zelda repeats, still straining against his spear. “For Link’s sake.”

The name rings familiar, and Volga stumbles as a face flickers in his mind, blue eyes shining through the murk. Looking at him in trepidation as information spills from hylian lips, scales glittering in places they have no right to be.

What is this memory?

He can’t recall the events that led to it, or what came after, or even where he was when it occurred. In fact... all he can really recall is the sharp urge to fight the strongest, destroy the enemy, do as the sorceress commands.

Who is the boy with scales on his arms, and hair nearly the same color as his own?

“Volga,” the princess speaks again, less strained now, and Volga belatedly realizes he’s stopped fighting. “Fight past this darkness. I know you are more than what Cia is letting you be.”

Cia.

The name is like a clap of thunder in his head, and suddenly the darkness he’d denied was choking him is all too evident, coursing through him alongside his fire, constricting his thoughts and twisting his actions. Its influence is overwhelming, and Volga clutches a hand over his chest, thoughts whirling as memories rush back.

Cia invading his home and forcing him under her service, ignoring his wishes to be left alone. Using her magic to make him fight, starting a war over lust for his son, putting him on the opposite side of his own kin.

Purposely obscuring the fact that he had a son.

Volga snarls, anger rising as flames drip from his lips. Cia used dark power, foisted upon him without his say, using him as nothing but another pawn in her game and his son—

“No... no!” Volga shouts, gripping at his head with both hands. “I won’t be ruled by darkness!”

He won’t remain Cia’s puppet for another second.

Volga lashes out at the darkness coating him, tearing at Cia’s influence in his chest. He can feel her power fight back the moment he pushes against it, darkness reaching up to claw at his mind, but Volga tears back with claws of his own, refusing to succumb to it again.

He pushes back with his own power, not that of the sorceress, fire clashing with darkness.

A roar builds in his throat as he gains a solid foothold, and he pushes it out, Cia’s dark power leaving him all in a rush.

And he is free.

Weakness follows the loss of power, but even as Volga drops to a knee, he feels more clearheaded, more alive, then he has in weeks.

And it’s overwhelmingly refreshing.

Volga curls his fingers into the dirt as he regains his bearings, clutching his spear as he raises himself up off the ground again. The princess stands a few feet away, watching him with a hopeful look on her face, and Volga huffs, looking away.

...right into the eyes of the hero.

His son.

Volga stares, the boy staring back with an uncertain look on his face. The hero’s gaze is interrupted by a monster slashing at him, and Volga shakes himself, then looks around the battlefield, taking in what he’s missed.

His gaze falls on the princess again, and something burns in his chest, a need to finish what he started. Volga raises his spear in challenge, pointing it at her and the hero.

“This time I will duel you properly. I will win this fight under my own power,” he declares.

He has other business, important business even (Cia will pay, he swears it), but his pride insists he finishes this fight. He wants to show the two of them how he really fights, no dark powers, no false strength.

To finish the fight he began in an honorable manner.

The princess hesitates at his request, exchanging a loaded look with her hero. But he nods, and she nods as well, pointing her sword back.

And they start the fight anew, dragon, princess, and hero.

The fight is invigorating, to say the least. Volga’s very scales seem to buzz with excitement as he battles the two, the old fire coming back to his blood. They’re an incredible team, truly powerful, and fighting them helps immensely with continuing to wake him up, forcing any remnant of Cia’s power from his bones.

They weave in and out in tandem, one of them striking, and then darting out as the other attacks. Despite the remaining weakness from the loss of darkness, Volga matches them blow for blow, his blood singing as he duels the two.

He hasn’t had a fight this challenging in years, and it reminds him of older days, of other duels.

A smile on a tanned face, ruby-red eyes, hair the color of new-fallen snow...

Volga promptly pushes that image aside. He needs to focus on the here and now, and his strength is fading, the hero and princess still pressing their attack.

As much as he hates to admit it, Cia’s actions have left him low on strength, and as enjoyable as this fight is... he’s fading. Rather fast.

And suddenly, he finds himself on his knees, a sword pointing at his neck.

Volga looks at Zelda, then over at his son, both of them breathing hard. An odd feeling of pride runs through him as he looks at the boy, and he almost smiles. Only one other person has ever been able to truly best him in battle, and it’s clear both of them learned from her.

Impa taught them well.

...It was no wonder Cia wanted one dead and the other her captive.

Anger courses through him at the reminder of the sorceress’s treachery, but his energy is spent. Too spent for him to reasonably mount a successful attack on her.

His vengeance will have to wait.

The princess opens her mouth to speak, but Volga beats her to it, closing his eyes as blood runs from a cut over one of them. “I accept my defeat with honor. I lose, but I do so without regrets.”

He exhaled and looks up at the two of them, and his son meets his eyes again, blood and dirt smeared on his face.

Volga gives him a singular nod, then despite his weariness, turns into his dragon form and takes off into the skies. He needs to rest, and recover from his wounds before figuring out what to do next.

And... process the ramifications of having a son.

Impa...

Link and Zelda watch him go in silence, Volga’s wings bright as a comet as he glides away. They’re both breathing heavily from the battle, small injuries bleeding, burns stinging. Zelda is smiling though, and there’s a hesitant sort of hope in Link’s eyes as they watch the dragon grow smaller in the distance.

Zelda squeezes Link’s shoulder as Volga finally disappears from their sight, but they don’t have time to dwell on what just occurred.

Cia still needs to be taken care of. But then...

Link supposes they’ll figure it out.

#I’ve been fighting with this for like two months so this is me admitting defeat and just posting it lol #hyrule warriors #hdw au #legend of zelda #loz Volga #Volga #fic #writing from the floor #poor Volga he’s so souped up on dark power he’s little more than another weapon for Cia #luckily zelda is good at what she does #writing from Volga’s POV is so hard T^T #but it ended up being the best choice #even though I’d also love to write this from Link’s perspective #ugh gosh I have so much planned for this au I’ve barely even touched

My silly little Link headcannons

hii again I'm very bored rn sooo

again for Zelda, it's only the major ones, sorry obscure link fans

also wtf is this gif I found 😭😭

Skyward Sword

✯has the biggest crush on his Zelda bc they're so close

✯like it's VERY obvious how they feel about eachother

✯His fav flavour of ice cream is Oreo ice cream but he also loves toffee and vanilla too

✯He can talk but he prefers sign language (dialect of sign language may vary on preference ((like ASL or BSL or LSE, ect)) ) and talks to save time in an emergency in case the other person may not know sign, but DOES sign if they do

For this one, I thought about the cutscenes where he's explaining something (like the current location or condition of Zelda) to another character and we can see his mouth moving.

✯no because if video games existed in skyloft, i just know that he's playing stardew valley and papas freezeria. I can feel it in my BONES

✯Definitely woke up under his bed once and hit his head on the bedframe

✯him and Groose have insult battles but then they get ice cream together after

Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask

✯somebody get this poor boy a therapist and a hug PLEASE

Twilight Princess

✯it felt natural to him when he transformed using the Zora mask in mm, because both the models for adult link and Zora link are the same size

✯mute

✯i think he played the ocarina like a recorder (aka with no experience at all) and did each note individually and the magic of the ocarina of time was probably like "there is NO WAY that I'm letting this kid tarnish my reputation goddamit" and made the songs sound nicer after he had played all the notes

✯forgot once that he was a kid again and walked to Romani ranch to get some chateau Romani and was genuinely surprised when Cremia said no

✯Had more of a genuine connection to Midna, but still had a friendship with princess Zelda

Wind Waker

✯felt a strange familial connection to the hero of shades when he met him and made link want to find out who the hero of shades was

✯does NOT like how short he is when he transforms into a wolf

✯Best poker face in history

Breath of the Wild

✯Gives Aryll piggybacks when she wants

✯would gladly eat his grandma's soup for the rest of his life

✯His grandma gave him the recipe to her soup when he left to discover the new Hyrule

✯Has the most major and unhidable (that's not a word but who cares) side eye in the history of time

✯If the events of WW didn't happen, I think he would have grown up to be a cartographer or he would REALLY like making his own maps

✯sorry to get all angsty but I don't think he wanted to kill Ganondorf. I just don't. I don't think either of them wanted to kill eachother. I feel like Link feels guilty about it because it's so obvious that it was only self defense after the triforce was touched by king Daphnes and it literally drove Ganondorf insane

Tbh I'd go crazy too if something I had wanted so badly got taken by another person even tho I literally got SEALED IN ANOTHER FUCKING REALM FOR A LONG AMOUNT OF TIME for it

Again sorry for no totk for this one pls no spoilers

✯Gets ambushed by Yiga so many times that he knows their names

*Yiga poofs into existence* "IM HERE TO KILL YOU LINK, IN REVENGE FOR MASTER KOHGA!!!!"

"oh hi jerry, nice weather eh?" -link

✯After he saved princess Zelda, he took a nap that lasted 4 ENTIRE days

✯not even the sound of kass' accordion could wake his ass up

✯very obvious but if he wasn't a knight, he would be a chef. Not sous chef. He would be head chef.

✯His hands are probably rough as hell from all that Hero Of Hyrule™-ing he has done

✯despite being able to lift heavy objects, his arms are still noodles

I just started Hyrule Warriors (the og) for the first time!!! I got the game secondhand and dusted off Ol' Reliable (WiiU) so I can finally see what the fuss is all about. I know it's a Fighting Game about an interdimensional war and watched like one video of gameplay maybe five years ago? But that's all I know going in.

(I also played a little bit of Age of Calamity on my brother's switch back when it came out, but I never could understand what the hell was happening on the screen at any given moment, so this is fairly fresh of an experience for me.)

Some thoughts!:

The game's art style, fighting gimmick, and cutscenes reminds me a LOT of Super Smash Bros for the Wii, specifically story mode

Link is indeed just as Sexy as everyone makes him out to be. His voice is nice to listen to and the Blue Scarf is quite fetching

Shiek is SO FUN TO PLAY AS and I love being in the Know about their identity because Impa keeps going "I sure do hope Zelda is okay :(((" and I'm giving Shiek the eyeballs 👁👁 like "when are you going to tell her"

I only know the barest barest bare minimum about Lana and Cia going in but I am liking Cia as a villain so far, the reality breaking is awesome and also her bird mask is cool as hell

A lot of people consider this the non-canon explanation for the converging of the timelines, and although I'm not really on board with the Timeline Convergence theory, I DO See The Appeal of this explanation because the cutscene where all the different worlds started to collide and Skyloft was on the same map as Twilight Princess's Bridge of Eldin,,, my inner nerd is screaming

The game unloaded a LOT of mechanics on me all at once, which was a little overwhelming, but I think I'm getting the hang of it just by way of spamming the hell out of my attack button and hoping for the best. I'm starting to learn which button patterns make for my favorite attacks and how the item switching and special attacks help in certain areas. I also read through the tutorials like 5 times each. Despite how much STUFF is going on at any given moment, Im getting the hang of it surprisingly quickly.

It's somewhat difficult to keep track of what the other warriors are saying in the corner of the screen while I'm trying to focus on killing enemies, but I really like how they keep you updated on what's going on all over the battlefield, so that you can react and strategize accordingly. Speaking of the battlefield, I'm SO BAD AT NAVIGATING THE MINIMAP

It didn't take me long to catch on about how to reclaim bases and outposts, and I find a lot of satisfaction in taking back land, especially with the variety of monsters we get from across the other games. Bosses will have the same weaknesses from their og games, and I'm having a blast trying to remember how I killed Dodongo or Gohma in Ocarina of Time so that I can kill them in this game too. It's so rewarding when I get it right!

I've just completed the Valley of Seers, and I'm gonna pick it up again tomorrow maybe! I'm actually really surprised with how much fun I'm having so far, since I'm not usually all that big on Fighting Games, but it definitely helps that it's Zelda specifically 😂

#i did indeed pick this game up just so that i can get a better understanding of warriors but that's neither here nor there #it was only like ten bucks #im not sure if it's the definitive edition? it would be a real shame if it wasn't negate id really like to play as young link #but its fine if it isn't ill just watch gameplay on yt now that i actually understand what's going on #i really do love the atmosphere of this game #it hypes you up like crazy and gets the competitive spirit going #i hear all the time that this link is a soldier and a captain and that was all well and good #but when i Play the game i can FEEL it #he's a SOLDIER and he kills monsters in spades and rushes to help other captains and squadrons #he reclaims bases and strategizes with impa and shiek and leads the other soldiers into the fray #it's just really cool is all #hyrule warriors #hyrule warriors definitive edition #maybe?#wicked plays loz

Sentient Monsters/Enemies in Zelda

People seemed to enjoy my last list so I'm going to touch on probably one of my favorite topics in LOZ! I'm mostly focusing on monsters and enemies that are shown to be not completely affiliated with any sort of Big Bad or are demonstrably capable of speech or independent thought but I'll also be including other enemies and monsters. I'm not going to really include bosses unless I find it necessary (hence the lack of Maz Koshia, Gohdan, Byrne, Bellumbeck, etc) As usual, I may touch headcanon territory a little, and I'll happily take any corrections/suggestions and reblog them!

...Actually I might just edit the post, not sure.

This contains gameplay spoilers for...a lot of Zelda games, so please proceed with caution!

Ache

Batlike enemies from The Adventure of Link. They are usually hostile, and will disguise themselves as villagers, revealing their disguise if spoken to. There is a friendly Ache that can be found in the Town of Nabooru that Link can speak to.

Batreaux

A reformed demon from Skyward Sword who has a secret house on Skyloft. He expresses a desire to become human, and requests that Link bring Gratitude Crystals to him so he can become one.

Bulblin

Namely King Bulblin, but I personally think this applies to regular Bublins as well. Throughout Twilight Princess you fight King Bulblin in various boss fights, but he always retreats before Link can kill him. In your final battle with him, he finally speaks, claiming that he "always follows the strongest side," before leaving and dropping a key to the inside of Hyrule Castle. Bulblins in general are shown to be fairly intelligent, riding on large boars called Bulbos and Twilit Kargaroks, creating structures, and cooking food.

Dark World Creatures

Many of inhabitants of the Dark World in A Link to the Past are heavily implied to be people who sought after the Triforce but were trapped upon entering the Dark World and transformed into monsters according to their true nature. These creatures can be aggressive at the start, seem initially friendly and attack you later, like Blind the thief, or can be completely passive.

Deku Scrub

These are plantlike creatures that spit out seeds to attack. In Ocarina of Time, Deku Scrubs seem to have made an allegiance with the first boss, Gohma. When attacked, they will surrender and either give you information or sell you items. In Majora's Mask, not only can Link transform into a Deku Scrub, but there is a Deku Scrub palace to be explored. Like in Ocarina of Time, Deku Scrubs are hostile to outsiders, and will refuse to let Link into the palace if he is not in Deku Scrub form. In Minish Cap, a sick Deku Scrub blocks the way by sneezing out seeds at Link and Zelda.

Garo

The Garo from Majora's Mask are a tribe of undead, ninja-like hooded creatures. They reside in the Kingdom of Ikana, though they're not originally from there, and will only appear to Link if he is wearing the Garo Mask. At some time in the past, the Garo came to Ikana Valley as assassins, but like most Ikana residents they were killed and their ghosts linger around the area.

Goriya

A slightly more obscure enemy from the original Legend of Zelda, Zelda II, Link's Awakening, and the Oracle Games. Goriya are moblin-like creatures that attack with a boomerang. In the original Legend of Zelda, a hungry Goriya blocks a door in a dungeon. In Link's Awakening, there is a hidden friendly Goriya that can only be seen using the Magnifying Glass, similar to the friendly River Zora.

Iron Knuckle

Armored enemies in Zelda II and Ocarina of Time, serving as minibosses of the Spirit Temple in the latter. In the last room of the Spirit Temple, the Twinrova control Nabooru, the Sage of Spirit, and force her to fight Link as an Iron Knuckle. Looking closely at the ordinary Iron Knuckle model reveals a Gerudo face inside, so many people believe that the other Iron Knuckles Link fights are also possessed or evil Gerudo.

Mad Batter/Li'l Devil

A batlike creature from A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening that lives in an underground cavern. Link can disturb him by tossing Magic Powder at a statue, where he will become angry and "curse" Link by giving him a magic upgrade.

Moblin

Featured in the original Legend of Zelda, Moblins are one of the quintessential enemies in the Zelda series. They have been shown multiple times to be capable of speech and seem to be able to defect from Ganon's horde in some instances. The original game also contains the first instance of a friendly monster in Zelda, the famous "it's a secret to everyone" Moblin. In the Wind Waker, a girl named Maggie has fallen in love with one of the Moblins in Forsaken Fortress, and sends a letter to him. Moe the Moblin sends a letter back, proving that Moblins are not only capable of speech, but probably writing.

Phantom

Guardians of the Tower of Spirits in Spirit Tracks and invaders of the Temple of the Ocean King in Phantom Hourglass. Phantoms are highly intelligent enemies that will chase Link down, and are capable of speech. In Spirit Tracks, Phantom Zelda can converse with them to distract them while Link makes his way through the Tower of Spirits.

River Zora

River Zora are featured in the original Legend of Zelda, a Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, A Link Between Worlds, Oracle of Ages, and Phantom Hourglass. River Zora are highly territorial creatures that inhabit bodies of water in most of the games they are featured in. They will usually shoot fireballs at Link and dive under the water if confronted. However, in many games, there are several Zora who will not attack you and may give you helpful items. In A Link to the Past, Link can speak to King Zora to get the Zora Flippers. In Link's Awakening, there is a secret friendly Zora that can be seen after Link has obtained the Magnifying Glass. In A Link Between Worlds, the Zora Queen Oren will give you the Zora Flippers.

Soldier

Hylian Soldiers have a long history of either getting possessed, turning evil, or being extremely incompetent in the Zelda series, and A Link to the Past is probably what started it. Soldiers are the primary enemy fought in the Light World, and are friendly to Link at the beginning of the game, telling Link to go home to bed on such a rainy night. One soldier mentions that they have noticed something strange about the other soldiers, and expects that they will soon succumb to whatever is possessing them. This is of course Agahnim, an evil magician and Ganon in disguise.

Stalchildren/Stalfos

Featured in almost every game in the series, Stalfos are undead skeleton-like enemies. Stalchildren are weaker, more common enemies that are featured in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Ordinarily Stalchildren will attack you in Majora's Mask, however if you wear the Captain's Hat—the hat of their leader, Skull Keeta—they will talk to you, and give you access to secret underground areas each night. Stalchildren, like the Garo, are also one of the undead races from Ikana Valley, and their king can be fought there.

Yiga

(they get a shoutout cause I love them. mwah)

Featured in Breath of the Wild, the Yiga Clan are an offshoot of the Sheikah Tribe that separated ten thousand years before the events of Breath of the Wild. After Calamity Ganon emerged for the first time and was destroyed with the help of Ancient Sheikah technology, the Royal Family turned their backs on the people who helped them, forcing them to abandon their work. The Sheikah went into hiding, but some of them fought back. This group became known as the Yiga Clan, and they are well known for their affinity to Calamity Ganon and their murderous tendencies. Dorian was originally a member of the Yiga Clan, and served as an informant to them for some time.

alright fuck it... here’s my BOTW/TOTK timeline theory

(full spoilers for BOTW/TOTK do not proceed without beating the games)

okay, so the first thing i want to mention is that i don’t believe BOTW/TOTK fits within any timeline or at the bottom of the 3. i think this is a trilogy, the first game being Skyward Sword.

here’s my explanation:

Hyrule was yet to be founded at the start of SS. we start off on the island of skyloft, which has a very similar appearance of the great sky island we wake up on in TOTK. and it has been shown that if you flip skyloft upside down, it will be similar to the great sky island.

by the end of SS, we have visited several areas which are very similar in placement to the map we see in BOTW/TOTK. the eldin, the faron, and lanayru regions. Eldin being the home of death mountain, faron being the water/forest region similar to what it is in BOTW/TOTK, and lanayru being a desert area very similar to the layout of what we know as the gerudo desert. the rest of SS map is blank, bc theoretically, they have gone unexplored. it should also go unsaid that over 10k years, there is bound to be a geographical shift, creating different valleys, mountains, hills, barrens, etc. so while it looks slightly off, with that in mind, what we find in BOTW/TOTK map does make sense.

plus, we don’t actually see sky era Link and Zelda found Hyrule, just that they have found the surface and plan on bringing their people down from the sky. we also never see how long each era of hero/princess live, but since usually 100 years pass between each new hero being born, there is roughly 80-100 years if not more unaccounted for. we also don’t know by the end of SS if there are other sky islands, bc if there’s one, then there is probably others. possibly one’s with Zonai, bc we find by the end of TOTK that the last few remaining descended to the surface, probably not long after Link and Zelda of the sky era.

however, since we do know that Rauru and Sonia are officially the first king and queen of hyrule, that obviously would be contradicting if Link and Zelda did, so that would mean that within the sky era, they were not able to found the kingdom and possibly passed away shortly before the Zonai descended because we find out that Sonia was a priestess of the world (bc there wouldn’t have been a queen or king in that case) and together with their powers, zonai constructs etc they were able to build the castle, the forgotten temple, zonai ruins (possibly even after what happened after rauru and sonia’s deaths) built the kingdom based upon the finding of sky era Link and Zelda.

they are not aware however of the master sword, bc since the kingdom is just being founded, they do not know it exists until Zelda travels back in time to mention it. from this point, the master sword would have likely been moved to a safer place (now known as the lost woods to be looked over by the great deku tree)

which brings me to my next point, the ancient hero. now, i know that it is being theorized that rauru and sonia must’ve had a daughter bc of when sonia tells zelda “i sense that we share a blood connection”. but i think that is being read too much into. bc every incarnation of zelda is of the goddess hylia, which would be more of a spiritual connection... but i don’t think by saying “blood connection” is wrong even if they did not have a child. also zelda’s mother in BOTW was not a goddess descendant. plus, that would invalidate the ancient hero, who is very clearly half hylian/half zonai based upon the ancient hero’s aspect, which shows this. also it would say that Link and Zelda are brother/sister, which isn’t true. because rauru would be the chosen hero of that time, so the ancient hero could not awaken until after his death.

this is when ganondorf becomes the demon king, after demise promised would be born time and time again along with each new hero and princess, which we have seen previously throughout older iterations. through rauru, who imprisons him away and binds his magic, the calamity, is a mere mirage of the power he still contains attempting to undo his seal so he can bring chaos upon Hyrule again. the first time we see the calamity is through the ancient hero, who seemingly is using the master sword, which would have been found after Zelda mentioned it to Rauru and word passed down through the sage’s (who i also believe the divine beasts are named after). the first calamity is able to be sealed away, as it has numerous times until the events of BOTW.

so, the events of BOTW and TOTK play out and that’s where the story for this ends.

now, let’s address the other games. because there is a huge implication of other domains and worlds existing by the mention of it, through a character named Yona, who says she traveled from another domain, which would mean that there are other worlds. possibly with their own heroes and princesses, bc throughout TOTK we find armor that can be obtained from previous games and locations from those games as well, which, i mostly believe is just nintendo being nostalgic and wanting to honor those games, not exactly saying that they exist in this timeline.

but what if they do? what if through other kingdoms, or universes, those events all did happen and they have either been brought to us from those who have traveled from other worlds and/or universes. because at the end of the day, it is called the legend of zelda for a reason. a legend does not exactly mean it happened, but these armors and locations say, yes, they did happen and here is the proof they did. but possibly just not in this time.

we always assume that only one hero and princess can be alive at once, which, i personally believe to be true, but what if it’s not? we know that TOTK, no other male gerudos have been born because ganondorf is still alive, but that doesn’t mean that demise couldn’t attempt to reincarnate himself through ganondorf in another kingdom or universe. with the power that we saw demise carry, he would be capable of doing so, so why not? why could these games not all occur at the same time other ones?

(also there is the theory of the dragons in BOTW/TOTK, which has been almost basically proven to be zonai who swallowed secret stones bc how else would mineru know about it? but the zonai were also believed to be gods, so... what if they were and that’s how we got our dragons?)

let me know your own thoughts!

LoZ LU - Coordinating the Maps

I actually theorize that Tanagar Canyon was where Twi's Zora's Domain used to be, but that it dried up over time, so the Zora were forced to move.

More than that, I think that I've actually narrowed down where Ordon Village & the Light Spirit Springs, as well as where Four's Castle Town, Lon Lon Ranch, & so on, most likely were.

I believe that Ordon was located in Fural Plain, specifically around the Lake of the Horse God, with Ordon Ranch having once been inside Ibara Butte. Haran Lake is possibly the remains of the Ordon Spring & I found a tar pit in the north of Faron Woods, Finra specifically, that is approximately where the Faron Spring would've been.

As for Four's Castle Town, I believe it could be located in Trillby Valley, south of the Maw of Death Mountain. This is the closest to where I believe it was without going down into the Depths. (Hell, the Four Sword may still be enshrined there in BotW's time.)

Tangent warning: I mention the Depths because, recall that in Wind's Era, Hyrule was flooded, but if you recall, I believe the Deku Tree mentioned trying to do something to fix that by growing trees to expand the islands & create new land?

Well, what if he actually managed it?

What if the Depths is actually the old Hyrule from every other game before the Wild Series (minus Spirit Tracks)? As for what happened with the water. I mean, the Zonai tech never really showed much submersible capabilities, so it's possible that, being from the sky in a similar way to... well... Sky, that they may not have had that sort of tech. Which would've left them with the only other option being to simply drain the magic chthonilimnal (underground lake) water. If true, then all the notable locations in previous games would all be in the same locations as the Surface, just further down!

Anyway, I believe that Mabe's Ranch might've been around where Lon Lon used to be.

Not only that, but I am pretty dang convinced that Ordon... might've actually been where Hyrule was truly founded back when Sky & Sun came down to Earth after the end of SS. Or at least, the location is.

If you compare the maps of both SS, TP, & BotW, then you get that the Sacred Springs are always in the same general locations. So, Faron's Spring of Courage is most likely the spring found at the end of Skyview Temple.

If this is the case, then the Great Tree was likely once in Damel Woods, which would place the Sealed Temple inside of BotW's Faron Woods. However, recall that the Island of the Goddess Statue fell what seemed to be straight down & according to the map, Skyloft itself was located directly south of that... which would land it rather conveniently within Fural Plain...

And recall that both Skyloftians & Ordonians do, occasionally, live in smials & they also have oddly similar fashion, don't they?

Anyway, I also believe that the Mother Goddess Statue in the Forgotten Temple was probably one of the Goddess Statues from the Isle of Songs. Though, that brings into question as to where the massive ass Goddess Statue from the Sealed Temple might've gone. The reason I say this is because there is absolutely zero way that the Mother Goddess Statue in the Forgotten Temple is the same as the one that we see in Skyloft. The scales are too vastly different.

I also believe that the Forgotten Temple is more than likely a replication of the Sealed Temple rather than the actual Sealed Temple. I go into my evidence further here.

More than that though, I wanna know how the Chain would react to such revelations.

First Line Tag Game

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and then tag ten people. If you've written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.

Idea from minty-mumbles

Opening of the Mouth

“…Do you believe in souls…?” Her question sounds loud, the sound of her voice ringing in her ears after the quiet of hiding.

Carnival and Backbone

He’s alright. All things considered. It will be alright.

Siren

Link has no idea where he’s going.

Keep the Home Fires Burning

Ordon Village is a small pocket tucked into the valleys and mountains of southern Hyrule, integrated into the strange Faron woods that border the lower Hyrule plains.

Knight and Rook

The days are getting longer into the summer, shown by the Champion’s Slate showing the time as five in the evening, but the sun is still making itself known, the group of nine sticking to the trees for shade as they hike along, settling on a secure clearing near an old mountain trail, which is more of a desire path through the grass and tree foliage.

Break

The Links are on Skyloft, taking a short break during their chase for the source of all this mess.

Cherub

When Ganon gets encompassed into the light from Zelda’s palm, circling up to the sky only to be swallowed whole, it’s loud.

With A Rupee in His Mouth

When she and Robbie started their work on Guardians, Divine Beasts, and ancient Sheikah technology, the prophecy of Calamity Ganon’s return and the weight of the battle ten thousand years ago was still present in their minds, but was easy to push aside and remain ecstatic towards their research.

does this count as diplomatic immunity?

It’s just reaching sunset after a long day, and Link lets himself melt into the bed, hair down, shirtless, and only clothed in his snowquill pants that he’ll use for sleeping sometimes.

honey and rum

It’s just after nine in the morning, and the sun is stretching through the window, lighting up the loft and landing right into Link’s eyes, pulling him from his sleep.

And some bonus additions from my WIP folder:

Baby Lamb

He’s reborn from water, thawing out and draining, given a rude awakening in the way of shivering from the freezing water and stagnant air; his body is complaining about having to move.

Interstadial

It’s nearing lunch time, a little after twelve in the afternoon, and Bazz is so tired he’s counting down the minutes until his shift is over.

Hare in the Teeth of a Hound

Link sits on the elevated grass ledge that makes the front of his house, reclining against the wall.

___

I sure do have a lot of run-on sentences, don’t I. Oops. I don’t think I know ten people, but if you’d like to participate, I’d love to see! I’d feel anxious to tag people though, i don’t want to bother anyone?

Okay I’ve been tagged three times. The summoning has been successful. (Thank you Cheeto, Rose, & Somer <3)

Let’s do this;

How many works do you have on AO3?

22 ! More than I expected but also less since I’ve been trying (and failing) to do a daily challenge

What's your total AO3 word count?

52,113

How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?

I’ve written for seven fandoms, only currently posting for one.

Currently posting for Linked Universe, but I’ve also written for Yona of the Dawn, Hunter X Hunter, D Greyman, Batman/DC Comics, Tokyo Ghoul, and Voltron: Legendary Defender.

Top five fics by kudos:

To absolutely no surprise, my number one is Lost & Found, which is where Time discovers himself to be a big brother and proceeds to adopt Twilight, Sky is about to be adopted, Wars is there too, and Legend will be soon arriving ;)

Number two is Remembrance, which was my bday prezzie fic for @hotcheetohatredwastaken and is set in my witch au. It’s just a lot of good feels and breakfast

Number three is Hearts & Crafts, this is set in the same setting as Lost & Found, and was my valentines fic this year. The babbies are cuties.

Number four actually surprised me… The Truth Begins. This is the unfinished introduction of the witch au.

Number five is another one set in the same setting as Lost & Found, Lost Time & Sleepy Hugs. One of my prompt fills for the March Daily fluff challenge.

Do you respond to comments?

I do!

What's the fic with the angstiest ending you've ever written?

Probably the end of The Price of Ignorance …

Do you write crossovers?

No… I do write a LOT of AUs though.

Have you ever gotten hate on a fic?

Not yet

Do you write smut?

I haven’t yet, but I have been challenged to. We shall see if I do.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but that would be cool!

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Uhhh. I don’t really know anymore.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?

Maybe The Truth Begins. There’s so much I want to write for it but I keep getting distracted by other ideas.

What are your writing strengths?

I feel I’m really good at prose, long in-depth descriptions and such. They’re a lot of fun for me to write.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue… it is my nemesis. I always feel like it’s clunky and it’s hard for me to keep my tenses straight when writing it.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fics?

I throughly enjoy it. I’ve done it a couple of times in different fics. Most recently it can be seen in Lost & Found with sign.

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

Batman/DC Comics

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written so far?

I adore everything in my Skyloft Valley series, which is my Stardew Valley AU for Linked Universe. I think I’ve had the most fun writing it so far.

Uhm okay tags… @marcusdoodlesalot @lerikwrites @estelian-01

Ao3 tag game!

THANKS @ragecndybars FOR THE TAG I APPRECIATE IT

*cracks knuckles* lets do this

How many works do you have on AO3?

24 works! I would have never expected to have that many 5 years ago, hahaha

What's your total AO3 word count?

186,291! oh wow, almost 200k!! (unsurprisingly PT minato takes up over a third of that LMAO)

How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?

10 fandoms! I'm counting Persona 3, 4, and 5 and separate, but I'm grouping all the Zelda fandoms together since it's all Linked Universe fic.

Here's the breakdown!

The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms (6)

Persona 5 (5)

Persona 3 (5)

SPY x FAMILY (Anime) (3)

Wizard101 (Video Game) (3)

SPY x FAMILY (Manga) (3)

Runescape (Video Games) (3)

Pirate101 (Video Game) (3)

Persona 4 (2)

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom (2)

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga (1)

Star Wars - All Media Types (1)

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors (1)

Top five fics by kudos:

The Ghost of Mementos/Stygian Ringlet (Persona3/5) - to the surprise of absolutely no one, since this is currently my longest fic. I'm very happy with Stygian Ringlet being the top because I love my boys :)

True Crime Special on the Midnight Channel (Persona 4/5) - my Ren has a TV Dungeon fic! also very proud of the dungeon concept for this one, I really need to finish the last two chapters

Dark Clouds on the Horizon (Linked Universe/TOTK) - I feel like this one got a lot of momentum partially because it was directly in the wake of TOTK's release, but I'm happy with how it turned out :)

Strangers Are Just Friends You Haven't Met (Persona 3/SPY x FAMILY) - this was a collab series with mewrose and a few others in the marigolds discord! we were throwing ideas at the wall to see what stuck and I really had a lot of fun with Shinjiro-related prompts, because I LOVE him and hitting him with the isekai baseball bat into a universe with Anya brings me great joy

Salt Tears and Raindrops (Linked Universe/TOTK) - directly related to Dark Clouds, and I'm glad people enjoyed good ol' fashioned angst >:) (I do need to post more of my wips, I do have a couple more roleswap AU wips that I want to post)

Do you respond to comments?

Yes! I almost always do because I really appreciate them and its my way of saying thanks for the comment! If I don't comment it's because I lost track of it or because I can't think of a response.

What's the fic with the angstiest ending you've ever written?

Probably Salt Tears and Raindrops. I was in a Mood and decided to go for the tried-and-true method of putting fictional characters I like through the emotional wringer. That's how I got the rough draft for this fic :)

Do you write crossovers?

*looks at my persona fics and recent LU fics*

...I think it's safe to say most of my fics these days fall under crossovers lmao

Have you ever gotten hate on a fic?

I wouldn't say I have? One or two comments that came off as rude, but no actual hate, thankfully. If I did, I forgot about it. I've been blessed by wonderfully nice readers <3

Do you write smut?

Nope. I don't read it, so I wouldn't know how to write it anyway.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of? I sure hope not.

I have seen a couple short fics slightly imitate Ghost of Mementos though, which I thought was really sweet that they liked it enough to inspire their own writing.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but I'd definitely be open to it!

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

RYOMINA. Hands down. I love them so much, I am so mentally unwell about these two

What’s a WIP that you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?

My two Runescape fics, Whispers in the Temple and Welcome to the Jungle. I absolutely loved going hogwild with rewriting old quests in Runescape, but I psyched myself out of Welcome to the Jungle because I got overly anxious about accidentally doing bad representation.

(in hindsight, it probably wouldn't have been as big a deal as I thought; it's hard to make it worse considering how bad Legend's Quest was with the british-african stereotypes. that quest DID NOT age well.)

I also want to finish Snake in the Grass; that was my first attempt at a genuine mystery plot and I really liked playing with Warriors in that fic in the context of the gang trying to figure out who the heck is trying to murder him.

What are your writing strengths?

I feel like I'm pretty good at dialogue! I try to make sure it matches the character's speech patterns and personality. Really well-written dialogue can tell you who's speaking without actually telling who it is. (For example, the way I write them: Minato speaks as few words as possible and has very little filter with his observations when he does share them, and Shinjiro is pretty rough around the edges, with shortened words and the occasional swear. Warriors is good with words and wit, but he has a certain military-esque directness and doesn't dance around the topic.)

I do try hard to keep the plot clear and understandable over everything else, so probably that as well.

Also, now that I think about it, maybe fight sequences? I don't do them much, but I do enjoy the challenge of making a clear sequence of what happens in a fight and trying to make it understandable. Fight sequences are easy to skip or gloss over, but I think of them like their own miniature plot. What happens? What surprises are there? What are their movesets? How do they get the upper hand? (and of course, what looks cool as fuck)

What are your writing weaknesses?

Time management. I tend to over-proofread since I beta my own work, and often I'll go back to tweak stuff if I had additional thoughts to add to it, or extra insight. Lately, it takes longer to write chapters than I'd like.

Also, dialogue-heavy scenes often get very chaotic in my WIPs because of the way I rough out fics. I'll throw together a bunch of dialogue bits I think would be cool to include, and sometimes they'll clash or get really messy, especially if there's lots of characters (looking at the latest two chapters of Stygian Ringlet)

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fics?

I think it's cool! It adds flavor to fics. If it's more than one short phrase though, or if it's story important, then I do prefer that there is a translation in the author's notes. I haven't done any non-English dialogue in fics, save for one memorable adventure into trying to figure out how Latin grammar structure works for a character that didn't speak English.

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

Wizard101 and Pirate101. I was obsessed with those two for YEARS. I really, really liked pirate stories in high school, and having a cast of crewmates that accompany you throughout the game really inspired me to write my first fic featuring my OC. (I was also into One Piece at the time, but I never wrote for it.)

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written so far?

Stygian Ringlet. It's really dear to my heart. I have poured so much love and effort into that fic, and the reception on it has completely blown me away.

THANKS FOR THE TAG!! Uhhhmmm for tags I'm going to go with @skyward-floored, @catreginae and @breannasfluff (but only if you want to!! no obligation of course)

and of course any other writers that want to do it as well!! go forth

Skyloft Valley things;

Time is the local Guild leader, he’s only kind of grizzled since he undermines himself with his big ol crush on Malon

Malon runs the local ranch, Lon Lon, and is besties with the Mayor.

Lullaby is the mayor and lives in the Mayor’s house with her younger sister, Dusk. Dusk works part time at Malo Mart and is taking college classes online.

Ravio runs the local general store. He and Legend live together behind the shop. Legend is the local seamster. Legend and Ravio are friends with Fable, who lives in CastleTown. Legend knows Marin, who lives on Koholint.

Warriors is a recently returned War veteran who lives in one of the houses in town with Wind’s grandmother and sister, Aryll.

Four is the local blacksmith, he lives at the smithy with his grandfather. He is friends with the region magistrate, Dot. They exchange letters often.

Telma runs the local pub. She lives in an apartment behind the pub. Wild helps her out. He lives in a trailer close by.

Flora, the only teacher in town, lives with her father… who’s basically never around. She sometimes will work at the clinic to provide support to Aurora.

Sky runs the local carpentry shop. Sun lives with him and runs the hot springs slightly north of them. They’re horrifically lovey dovey and everyone both loves and hates it. They live in a house in the mountains. Groose lives in their basement and is a sort of mad engineer. Things routinely get blown up and everyone hears it across the Valley.

Aurora is the local small town doctor. She lives above the clinic. Her sister, Dawn, lives in the cabin in the woods and is studying the ecosystem.

Hyrule lives in a tent in the mountains for the most part. Sometimes he’ll crash in the hot springs or on someone’s couch if it’s particularly cold.

Artemis lives in a cabin on the beach. She’s also a recent war veteran. She’s there to find herself after the war.

Wind and Tetra own and operate the local bait shop and boat service. They routinely bug Artemis who pretends they annoy her and Warriors who meets them at their level far too often. Wind is usually in the bait shop and Tetra captains the boat. They’ll swap when they want to prank someone.

Shad runs the local museum. No one is sure where he lives (he has a living space in the museum). He’s very enthusiastic about artifacts.

Twilight is Malon’s nephew runs the old farm that’s down the road from her.

Twilight giving the group animal nicknames?? More likely than you think.

We already know about Time calling Twilight pup (baby wolf), and Twi calling Wild cub (baby fox)

But just. What other names has Twilight given out? Things that sprung to his lips and just stuck. He doesn't necessarily have a reason for them though some he does, just. Things that to him mean something special even if the others don't understand.

Wild: As stated above he gets called cub. But also I could see Twilight calling him a "Crazy Reynard" (Reynard is a name for a male fox but also a myth. I'm going off of it as a gendered term though)

Wind: In Bareit2000's What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor they have Twilight call him Kid as in a baby goat and god damn that is precious and lives rent free in my head. This fic made my cry so hard I will forever hype it. But also getting called something akin to a Racoon when he's being sticky fingered gremlin is also very good.

Sky: Pen (female swan) maybe it's after the first time they get to see Skyloft. Or him listening to sky talk about Crimson and missing home, but it's also definitely paired with Twilight getting to see Sky's skills blend with the rage he keeps buried. It just rolls off his tounge one day after Sky gets hurt and he's fretting and boy does it confuse the skyloftian but he can't quite bring himself to question it. Most of the group assume it's because Sky writes home so often, but it's More something akin to a beautiful and terrifying compliment. (Tiercel -Male Eagle- would also be good but also a mouthful when you're trying to be soft)

Legend: Buck/Little doe depending on how annoying hes being to make Legend smile. Most people would assume this has something to do with deer and be confused. But no. These are also terms for Rabbits!! When they're alone and Twilight it comforting Legend He will straight up just call him Bunny. But he knows Legend doesn't want the others to know so he wouldn't ever comprise that. Legend 100% does not know about that being the terms for Male/Female rabbits so he's just as confused as the others.

Time: Timber (Makenzie valley/Timber wolves are the largest wolf breed). Time doesn't know about the heroes shade/how own wolf form. The rest of the group probably associates him with protective bear if anything and Twi definitely will tease him with the "Papa bear" title. But Timber/Old Timber is Twilight's name for him. Easy to assume he's just calling Time a tree seeing as he makes enough jokes about being raised by one. So it's all the more fitting even if Twi is the only one who actually knows the meaning behind the name.

Warriors: Tom (as in Tom cat) but also Rooster when he's being annoying. Cats (and I mean this in the most loving of ways) can come off as vain little assholes. And him and Twilight definitely rub each other the wrong way frequently. But all the cats Twilight met on his journey were also friendly and helpful and kind. And he knows a village of cats, he loves cats, and knows that they're also absolutely helpless dumbasses that get themselves into stupid situations even though they're quite smart and resourceful. But when Wars won't shut up he very much gets called Rooster. The group is really only confused about Twilight randomly calling him Tom until the day he straight up just calls Wars a "Feral Tomcat"

Hyrule: little Hob / Kit (Male or baby Ferret). Hyrule is resourceful but also tricky and mysterious. He has tons of energy and a wild side that gets him into interesting situations. Hob is also a term for Gremlin/Hobgoblin and other similar fae creatures.

Four: Mouse/Pinky/Mischief after learning about his tiny form and and the Picori/Minish he just can't help it! He finds it adorable and he means it in the best of ways. A lot of people might think he's making fun, but Four takes it as a compliment because he loves being small and he loves the Minish! Being called Pinky confused him the first time because most would assume that would be Legend. But it was more something that slipped out when Twilight saw that his eyes has turned that light shade of red because he was upset, and Twi does actually explain that so it makes sense.

When you get this ask could you perhaps maybe bless us with 5 of ur fav songs (currently or of all time), and then send this ask to 5 of your moots who you think have good taste! <33

This is going to be all zelda music because that’s all I’ve really been listening to lately lol

Lake Floria (classical guitar cover) — the normal version is already amazing but I LOVE how it sounds on the guitar. This is probably one of my favorite loz songs ever.

Gerudo valley remix, smash bros wiiu — gerudo valley make brain go brrrrrr. Again the original is great but the remix gives me chills I love it

The skyloft theme from hyrule warriors is amazing, I never thought I’d the electric guitar would fit with it but it does and it’s a banger.

Uhhh I can’t really think of more specifically but I’ve also been listening to the hyrule warriors soundtrack and I love pretty much all the tracks on there, so I’m saying those are my last two 😅

#answers from the floor #lovely nancyheart11 #sorry I know this isn’t the best but I don’t often sit down and just listen to music

The Great Timeline of Hyrule — and it's linear

After a lot of work, I've finally worked out a fully linear timeline of Hyrule that makes sense. Be warned that this timeline doesn't mince words, and there's a lot of questionable-to-abhorrent politics that happen, especially around Ocarina of Time.

The goddesses create the world of Mudora as a place to live in. They then shed their divinity, becoming the oracles, and their divine power becomes the Triforce. Their newfound mortality strips them of their ability to protect the world as its creators, so they appoint the goddess of sky and light (Hylia) and the goddess of earth and time (the Gerudo snake goddess, placeholder name Geluda) to watch it in their stead.

The first hero is born into the world, a normal, unremarkable Mudoran.

The three oracles reach their first death, beginning their reincarnation cycle. With their passing, Demise and his demonic forces break into Mudora to seize the Triforce.

The Demise of Mudora: Demise wages full war on the surface, targeting the goddesses' creations to deal the most damage and cause the most despair. The more robust races of the world (Gorons, Parella, etc) are able to fight back, but the fragile humans have no precedent for harsh environment and are caught in the crossfire. In the fight, Geluda's sword spirit, Gyra, is stolen and corrupted, becoming Ghirahim. Beloved is killed in a demon raid.

Geluda sacrifices herself to create the initial seal on Demise. Hylia sets her plan into motion; she makes Beloved into the world's immortal hero, creates Fi based on Ghirahim's design, sends the humans, sword, and Triforce skyward to safety, creates the Loftwings to guide them and the cloud barrier to hide them, and assigns Impa to guide her future self to safety. Before shedding her own divinity, she appoints the sorceress Laciana as Guardian of Time in Geluda's stead, having her watch over the timeline from the Valley of Seers to ensure that her plan goes smoothly.

Hylia's divinity is split; her incredible power is housed within Zelda as the Light Force, her light magic, and her sealing ability, all of which will be passed down through Zelda's descendants. Her superhuman senses are gifted to the Sheikah as the Eye of Truth, which are adapted over time into use as the Sheikah's unique magic (seen in BotW, primarily). Her ability to see timelines and immortality are gifted to Laciana to aid her in her appointed task of watching over Hylia's great plan, and her ability to reincarnate as the oracles do is gifted to Beloved, so that Mudora may have a hero after she's gone. When Zelda eventually dies, she'll return to being Hylia, but will be unable to interact with the world save for through Link.

Thousands of years pass, and the Demise of Mudora fades into obscurity. The isle sent skyward develops its own culture as it waits for Beloved and Hylia to be reborn and finish what the goddess started.

The events of Skyward Sword take place. Timelines experience their first fray, weakened by excessive use by the first Link and Ghirahim, but are course-corrected by Fi. Demise curses Link and Zelda, and Fi goes to sleep within the Master Sword; the curse follows Link into the course-corrected timeline due to Demise's consciousness being sealed within the sword, therefore being present in the new era.

The inhabitants of Skyloft abandon their home to settle the surface, some traveling far away to eventually found Labrynna, Hytopia, and Holodrum. The area directly below Skyloft is named Hyrule, in honor of Hylia, and Zelda is appointed as its first leader with her father's passing. The Triforce is kept safe by her family for generations.

The Wind Tribe separates themselves from the Hylians, focusing on preserving Skyloft's culture rather than adapting to their new home. With the absence of Loftwings, their ancestors' isle is lost to them, so they spend much of their efforts learning how to return to the sky on their own, making use of teleportation spells and wind gusts generated by the various bird statuettes around Hyrule. Eventually, they master this magic, and depart from the surface, resettling Skyloft and building their own civilization, far from the land below.

Zelda I is born, named for her ancestor that founded her country.

The Tragedy of Zelda I: The King of Hyrule breaks up the Triforce into three pieces, and hides the Triforce of Courage away, wary that his son will use its wishing power for selfish purposes. Upon his passing, the prince discovers this, and demands his sister tell him where the Triforce of Courage is hidden; when she refuses, he curses her to fall into a deep sleep, not unlike the sleep Skyloft's Zelda entered to keep Demise's seal steady.

The prince, filled with regret, tries everything in his power to break the curse and wake his sister up, but fails. In her memory, he decrees that every firstborn daughter of the royal family be named after her. The tradition of naming the Crown Princess "Zelda" begins.

Across the world, Queen Ambi of Labrynna begins the construction of her tower, in order to help guide her lover home from sea.

The Legend of Zelda's events take place; Link and Zelda III are born in the same era, and Demise's curse springs into action, possessing a blue moblin and giving rise to the first—and weakest—incarnation of Ganon. Ganon is killed by Link, causing the Triforce of Courage to manifest on Link's sword hand. This marks him as the reincarnated hero, the new Link, and the one to recover the Triforce of Courage from the old King's hiding spot.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link takes place. After recovering the Triforce of Courage, Link uses his Triforce wish to wake up Zelda I. She relinquishes her claim to the throne to Zelda III, instead living out her life with her hero; her descendants inherit her vibrant red hair.

With the absence of Ganon to lead them, the monsters still roaming Hyrule run wild, becoming more and more of a problem as time goes on. Eventually, a new Link to the Hero rises up to face this threat, the Hero of Men, and uses the Picori Blade to seal Ganon's errant monsters into a bound chest. A holiday celebrating this feat is established.

A new Link is forged, the oracles are reborn, and the events of Oracle of Ages and Seasons take place. The Zelda of this generation is strawberry blonde (based on sprite, not on art), marking the shift of Princess Zelda III's bloodline from redheads to blondes. Ganon is revived by the Twinrova, a pair of witches exiled from the Gerudo tribe, and because Hylia's descendant is used in his revival, he gains the ability to reincarnate on his own.

On his way to bring Zelda home, Link encounters a massive storm. He wakes up on Koholint, and the events of Link's Awakening take place.

After Link's Awakening, Link recovers Zelda and makes his way home. Marin's sacrifice sticks with him, and he realizes she was based on the girl he ran into in Holodrum, Malon. When he has his own family, he names his daughter Malon in Marin's memory, bringing the name to Hyrule. Link plants a Maku seed in Hyrule, which will one day become the Great Deku Tree.

The Triforce, whole and known to the public, becomes the target of ambitious and greedy people all throughout Hyrule. The Great War for the Triforce begins, and is ended abruptly by the Sages of Hyrule sealing off the Sacred Realm, cutting Hyrule's population down to a mere fraction. The Sacred Realm becomes the Dark World, and the newest incarnation of Ganon fights his way to the top of the masses.

Meanwhile, Lorule's seven sages opt to destroy their Triforce rather than seal it away, causing their world to start to decay. Without the power of the goddesses keeping it stable, Lorule begins to lose its ability to sustain life.

A new Link is forged, and the events of A Link to the Past occur. The Master Sword is used for the first time since Skyward Sword. Ganon is defeated again, and Hyrule falls into a short era of peace.

A new Link is forged, and the events of A Link Between Worlds occur. Yuga revives the Sealing War's Ganon, but fuses himself with him, forcing the curse to abandon that body as a means of incarnation. Zelda and Link wish on the Triforce to bring back Lorule's Triforce, saving it from extinction, and Link returns the Master Sword to its resting place.

Princess Styla of far-off Hytopia is cursed by a vengeful witch. Her distraught father sends word to Princess Zelda in hopes that she might have a means to break the curse, and Link is sent to help.

The events of Triforce Heroes take place. As thanks for freeing his daughter from the curse, the Hytopian king opens up trade with Hyrule, bringing in a variety of fabrics and other such treasures.

Octavo has his fortune told. Panicking over his foretold death and not trusting Link to fight this new Ganon, he takes matters into his own hands and incapacitates everyone who would oppose him via the Golden Lute.

Cadence falls into Hyrule from the Triforce's call

The events of Cadence of Hyrule occur. Demise's curse takes its first human victim, a young Gerudo prince, and the Twinrova, in their search for immortality, temporarily become the Synthrova. Deku Scrubs, Gerudo, and the first instance of shark-like Zora migrate into Hyrule's borders, and the presence of the new Zora begins to drive out the River Zora population. The Lost Woods gain their more sinister properties of creating Stalfos and Skull Kids as they try to protect their home.

Prince Ganondorf has become Ganon, his beast form resembling his previous blue moblin self. His actions are immortalized in Gerudo ruins, and he's sealed away by Cadence, Zelda, and Link working together. Demise's curse is unable to take a body until this one is killed.

Cadence returns home. An era of peace reigns.

Octavo's lost locket is used by the Minish Sage, Ezlo, to create an object based on the Triforce. Vaati steals this object—the wishing cap—and becomes a sorcerer. The new oracles are born.

A new Link is forged, and the events of Minish Cap occur. The Picori blade is reforged into the Four Sword, and Vaati is imprisoned within it. Zelda's power is mostly consumed by Vaati, leaving her and her descendants significantly weaker than Hylia.

The Minish return to their world through the Minish Portals, which close for the next century. Communication between the humans and Minish, which was already fragile, ceases.

A monster escapes the Four Sword's seal, having fled Hyrule as soon as the Bound Chest was broken. He takes the name Malladus, and terrorizes the far-off land of the Lokomo, only to be sealed away. The Spirit Tracks are created as his shackles.

A new Link is forged, and the First Calamity occurs. Demise's curse, unable to take a body, assumes the form of Calamity Ganon for the first time. The Sheikah, in service to the Hyrulean Royalty, orchestrate a plan to take this monstrosity down, creating the Divine Beasts and Guardians and making trials for the Tapestry Link to endure. The Twinrova adopt young prince Ganondorf, with the hopes of harnessing Calamity Ganon's power though him.

With the defeat of Calamity Ganon, the King of Hyrule is fearful of the Sheikah Clan; he realizes that they could take his power from him whenever they please. He gives them an ultimatum: bury their technology and swear off its use and creation, or be exiled. The clan splits; those loyal to the king retain their Sheikah title, while those angry with him become the Yiga clan and vow to assassinate him in retribution.

Forced into exile, the Yiga are offered shelter by the elusive Wind Tribe. The small community blooms overnight, and the Yiga offer their technological skills to the Wind Tribe in exchange for their hospitality. With Skyloft-like guidelines for construction, the City in the Sky is made.

A group of Yiga mages work closely with the Wind Tribe members, devising a plan to end the cycle of destruction Hyrule faces and the king's reign in one swoop. The Fused Shadows are forged with the intention of assassinating royalty and stealing the Triforce from the royal family, with the caveat that the Triforce would be returned to the sky where it belonged once the Yiga were through with it.

The Great Civil War of Hyrule begins. The Yiga have no problem finding sympathizers in people that remember their valiant efforts to defeat the great Calamity years ago. The war rages for years, destroying Hyrule's fragile stability and dividing the nation into splinters.

A new Link is forged. Princess Zelda is born, and her mother dies in childbirth. Malon is born, named after her great grandmother (from Minish Cap). The King of Hyrule is successfully assassinated, as is his wife; his son (the new Zelda's father) assumes the throne.

The new king swiftly ends the war by pitting the Sheikah against the Yiga and their sympathizers. The Shadow Temple is used as a torture prison to silence any resistance, designed in such a way that only Sheikah and those with the Lens of Truth would be able to navigate it. The creators of the Fused Shadows are dragged to the desert for capital punishment, and are banished to the Twilight Realm for their crimes after extensive torture. City in the Sky sits abandoned.

The king enacts a strict set of laws. All subkingdoms in Hyrule are required to swear fealty to him, and are forbidden from contact with each other without express royal permission. Safeguards are put in place to prevent anyone from touching the Triforce without the king's order, and the Master Sword is enshrined in the Temple of Time, right next to the Hyrulean castle. Temples are littered with locks and royal magic that prevents their use. Zora's domain is sealed off, Death Mountain is gated, and the bridge to Gerudo is sabotaged. The Gerudo do not take well to this, and bar outsiders from their settlement, robbing any Hyrulean soldiers that dare trespass in their domain. Tensions between the Gerudo and Hyrule worsen.

Hyrule enters peace under a tyrant.

The events of Ocarina of Time occur. The Great Deku Tree planted by Oracle of Ages' Link is killed by Gohma. After Ocarina of Time, Link is sent back to the past by Zelda, where he prevents Ocarina of Time from happening; in the OoT timeline, the Twinrova are able to successfully draw Calamity Ganon's power through Ganondorf, giving him the means to destroy the world and assume a warped beast form; the power is there, but the curse is being forced through Ganondorf, so it doesn't take hold properly. In the course-corrected timeline that Zelda creates by sending Link back, the Twinrova never get the opportunity. Princess Zelda and Link alert the king, and the story of the Hero of Time is recorded and spread.

Majora takes control of Skull Kid

Link shatters the Triforce of Courage and hides it around Hyrule so Ganondorf can't take Hyrule over, is given the Ocarina of Time by Zelda for safekeeping, and returns to the Lost Woods to search for his fairy companion. He's baited by Skull Kid into falling into Termina, and Majora's Mask occurs.

Ganondorf is tried for treason, found guilty, and slated for execution. He fights his way out of the castle and flees home, then wages war on Hyrule.

After the events of Majora's Mask, Link stays in Termina. His old home isn't for Hylians, and the rest of Hyrule holds a lot of pain and traumatic memories for him. He marries Romani.

The Gerudo-Hyrulean War is more vicious than the Civil War, the Gerudo having far different tactics than the Yiga did, and the king not having an inside perspective like he did with the Sheikah. Because Link keeps the Ocarina of Time, the king has no access to the supreme power of the gods. The people of Hyrule pray that the Hero of Time will return to end the war.

Prince Daphnes and a new Zelda are born to Princess Zelda as her father ages, keeping the royal line from dying out.

When the king passes, OoT Zelda assumes the throne. She acts quickly, breaking into the Temple of Time with Impa's help. The Triforce of Wisdom is shattered; Queen Zelda gvies part of it to Prince Daphnes and part to little Princess Zelda, and has them flee the castle. She takes the Triforce of Power and runs to the castle. Ganondorf then storms the castle with an army of monsters, and loses them to Queen Zelda sealing them in place with the Master Sword's time-altering abilities. The queen is then killed, and the Triforce of Power falls into Ganondorf's hands, at the cost of his forces.

Prince Daphnes receives the news of his mother's demise and unwillingly takes the throne. Blinded by rage, he assembles an orchestra, and ends the war with a flood summoned by the Song of Storms. Ganondorf isn't seen for centuries, and the Twinrova curse the new king with their dying breaths, turning him into a boat to sail the seas he just made out of his country.

Hyrule fades into obscurity. The Zora have a sharp split; some adapt to the salinity, becoming more sharklike and diving into the depths to find food. Others are unable to adapt, and are gifted wings by Valoo, eventually becoming the Rito. The Kokiri are changed into the Koroks, and the Deku Sprout grows up into a massive new Deku Tree.

A new Link is forged. The events of Wind Waker occur. The Master Sword is used to finally kill Ganondorf, and the reassembled Triforce is used to wash old Hyrule away for good. With Hyrule flooded, Calamity Ganon can no longer rise, and the cycle is, momentarily, broken. Deku Sprouts are spread all over the Great Sea; one of these will eventually become Breath of the Wild's Deku Tree.

Link and Tetra travel to find a new land to settle, and the events of Phantom Hourglass occur. The Ocean King is restored to his place of power over the waters, ensuring safe travels to the new land.

Tetra's crew (and Linebeck) finally find solid land where the Lokomo live. They're welcomed with open arms and work with the Lokomo to make the country a safer and more stable place. Tetra's efforts don't go unnoticed (nor does her sass), and she becomes the first elected leader of New Hyrule, and the first elected leader of Hyrule since Skyward Sword.

A new Link is forged, and the events of Spirit Tracks occur. Malladus breaks free and is destroyed by Link and Zelda working together, and the Lokomo sages ascend to the heavens to be reincarnated at a later date.

The Great Sea finally starts to recede. Archaeologists rediscover old Hyrule, and as time passes, more and more people from New Hyrule—including a young adventuring princess—resettle the land. Ancient Hyrule is reborn.

A new Link is forged, the Four Sword is rediscovered, and the current Zelda realizes the seal is breaking. The events of Four Swords happen, in the wild, unsettled parts of Ancient Hyrule. Vaati is released, then resealed as fast as possible.

The events of Four Swords Adventures happen, releasing Vaati and eventually freeing Cadence of Hyrule Ganon. Vaati is eliminated, Ganon is defeated, and the curse of Demise is finally free to inhabit another body.

A new Link is forged, and the Gerudo King invades Hyrule as Demise's curse latches onto him. The War for Ancient Hyrule ensues.

At the conclusion of the war, Ganondorf is slated for execution. The Triforce of Power manifests in him and prevents his death, so the sages banish him to the Twilight Realm.

Ganondorf assumes an incorporeal form as the Triforce of Power protects him from the effects of the Twilight Realm. He convinces Zant that he's a god, grants him a fraction of the Triforce's strength, and usurps Princess Midna. Ganondorf experiments with Malice (red Twilight magic), and Demise's curse learns from it.

Zant invades Hyrule, forcing Princess Zelda to surrender or have her men killed in front of her.

The events of Twilight Princess occur. The Master Sword is rediscovered, and Midna kills Zant. During the final fight between Link and Ganondorf, Demise's curse experiments with a new beast form. Ganondorf is killed by Link using the Master Sword, with Zant dealing the final blow with his fragment of the Triforce of Power. The Triforce leaves Ganondorf, and his soul is shattered into four.

The Time Door is used to access points in time where the timeline is weakened from overuse—Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time—and two pieces are left in the past. Midna takes one of the remaining two pieces and Zelda takes the other for safekeeping, effectively ending the curse for as long as the shards stay separate.

Ganondorf's body is sealed away by Midna, keeping it in suspension and preventing a new incarnation from occuring, locking Demise's curse out from proper reincarnation.

A new Link is forged. Desperate for freedom, Ganondorf's soul corrupts Laciana, shattering her into Lana and Cia. Hyrule Warriors occurs, Ganondorf's soul comes back together, and Demise's curse forms a replacement body; this isn't a new incarnation, because Ganondorf's soul hasn't been ended properly, and his real body is still intact somewhere, so the replacement is far more fragile, and only lasts as long as it does because of the Triforce. When Link defeats Ganondorf, the Triforce is used to destroy his soul for good. Demise's curse is unable to use this incarnation any further.

Unknowingly at a stalemate, Hyrule settles into an era of peace and prosperity. Learning from past mistakes, the curse bides its time and waits for Hyrule's guard to fall. Meanwhile, the subkingdoms expand, Hyrule becomes bigger and more prosperous than ever, and the royal family's power wanes as the subkingdoms become more independent.

Sheikah technology is rediscovered, and Ganon's return is prophesized. Hyrule begins preparing with Sheikah guidance, and Rhoam is far less fearful of the Sheikah than the last king to order this was.

A new Link is forged, and quickly becomes recognized by Hyrule for who he is.

Final preparations occur; the champions are selected, Link is assigned to be Zelda's guard, and Zelda frantically tries to awaken her sealing power.

The Great Calamity occurs, and Hyrule is subjected to 10,000 years of planning, as Demise's curse has learned from its mistakes. The Master Sword itself begins to break, and Hyrule falls.

The events of Breath of the Wild occur. Link is revived, Zelda is freed, and the unbound curse of Calamity Ganon is sealed.

Midna's seal on Ganondorf's body weakens, allowing the curse to finally inhabit a (soulless) body again.

The events of Breath of the Wild 2 occur.

AND THAT IS EVERYTHING

"Official" Link count sits at 13: Skyward, LoZ, Oracles, ALttP, ALBW, Minish Cap, OoT, Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, Four Swords, Twilight Princess, Hyrule Warriors, Breath of the Wild.

I might make dates and a chart for this if I have the time tomorrow.

Note

The fic you wrote with twilight and first! I have simply passed away, you killed me with your wonderful writing

From me to you, my dear Nonny~

"ARE YOU TWO COMPLETELY MAD?!"

There were many ways you had wanted this day to go. You would've liked it if the group had found a town where you could all relax. A day spent at Lon Lon Ranch or at Skyloft or in Ordon sound lovely. Y

You would've really liked it if the group had found the perpetrator behind the black-blooded monsters, keeled over and deader than a doorknob, no Great Final Battle necessary.

(And maybe you would've liked it if the day had resulted in a date but that was neither here nor there.)

Instead, what had started out as a drawn-out fight ended up with you, First and Twilight separated from the others down a deep valley and both of them sporting severe injuries.

(You'd been fortunate enough to get away with only a few scraps and bruises. In fact, you'd gotten worse in the group's sparring matches so you felt like you would be fine with a little rest.)

Twilight's shoulder was dislocated and the same arm was also broken. Not to mention the scrapes and bruises and the nasty cut on his leg.

First, on the other hand, had a broken nose with a cut over it and a worryingly large gash on the side of his torso, not deep enough to cut to the bone but deep enough it would need bandaging.

If the pair of morons would sit still long enough!

After going back and forth, debating on how quickly they could catch up with the others, and getting more and more frustrated, you finally snapped.

"I SWEAR TO THE THREE, THE PAIR OF YOU ARE INFURIATING! NOW, SIT! DOWN!" Your eyes blazed with fury.

Both of them clacked their mouths shut and dropped onto a fallen log right next to each other.

You pulled out the first aid kit you'd started compiling when you'd first joined the group (and kept building up since none of your boys had the common sense of a flea and often needed patching up even outside of battle).

"You are both going to sit there and let me patch you up until we get back to Hyrule. I only have two low potions, so It'll stop you from bleeding out, but you'll still need bandages."

"But, darlin'..."

"My dear..."

They both tried to object but you snapped your head towards them and pointed at each of them.

"No! No Darlin', My Dear, Sweetheart or Dove! The pair of you will sit there and rest for two goddessdamn minutes!" You passed the pair of them the potions. "Now drink the damn potions and take off your tunics! I'll need to see the injuries without them in the way."

Your muttering devolved into low speculation of the general IQ levels for a hero and pondered under your breath whether or not dumbass-ery was a prerequisite for being a hero.

You didn't notice the red-tinted faces at the orders, but you did notice Twilight having trouble with his arm and moved to help him.

Despite your angry mutterings, your touch was gentle and light when you wrapped and splinted his arm. You carefully prodded the muscles, making a note to thank Hyrule for teaching you how to deal with breaks. Thanks to the potion, his shoulder wasn't dislocated anymore and the break had healed to a fracture, but it would still need a sling. You let him wiggle back into his tunic while you rolled up his trouser leg to check on the cut. You wrapped it up quickly before turning to First.

First's wound had healed almost completely, but it still oozed slowly. You gently wrapped the bandages around his firm chest before grasping his chin and tilting his face up to yours to check his nose. It also wasn't broken anymore, but it was still bleeding sluggishly. You dabbed the bleed cut carefully with a clean rag.

"We're sorry for worrying you, Darlin'." Twilight said as he watched you fuss over First.

You sighed, all of the worried anger draining away leaving you tired. "Don't apologise for things you won't change. You guys throw yourselves into these things for the sake of others and I respect that. I do! It's just..." You pulled the bloody rag away and checked the cut, noticing First's eyes locked on you. "I just wish you'd think of yourselves a bit too. Sometimes I think you'll throw so much of yourselves into these fights that there won't be anything left of you afterwards. I won't ask you to stop. I won't disrespect your choices like that, but," You paused and looked at them with a pleading expression, "just try to be a bit more careful? If not for yourselves, then for the others and for me?"

First reached out and pulled you onto his lap sideways, bringing his arms carefully around your waist and resting his forehead on your shoulder. "Apologies, Dove. It had been a long time since anyone had cared to scold me for my actions in battle. I swear that I shall be less reckless with my life."

You were too tired to blush and you tilted your head sideways to rest your cheek on his hair as Twilight scooted closer and grabbed your hand with his healthy one. You didn't blush even as he brought your hand to his lips, kissed it then bent over to press his forehead to it.

" 'm sorry too, Sweetheart. Didn't realise what I was doin'."

You clung to his hand and brought your other one up to pull him closer until your head was touching both of theirs and you took a moment to breathe.

There were many ways you wanted this day to go.

But you supposed, feeling the way First wrapped himself gently around your waist and the way Twilight was bent over your hand in supplication and the way you curled around them both, the day hadn't been too bad after all.

#linked universe x reader #linked universe #LU First #LU Twilight #polyamory #something a little more serious now #but I figured we needed to see Reader not just be flustered by the menaces all the time #Although since Reader has now given the go ahead #they will take advantage to give physical affection now
