#this is where the image of classic link bleeding out in front of wind came from

[pinklink130]

i told myself i’d at least post a vague outline of it; so i do have my own “into the linkverse” type au in mind where post-totk link goes missing and zelda is sort of the mc who keeps stumbling upon other links as they appear mysteriously around hyrule and they have to band together to get him back and send everyone else back home or something but i don’t know what to call it. “the missing link” is a little too on the nose

it’s a little fucked up like the universe going “is This your card? is This your card? is THIS your card? is THIS—“ over and over and zelda’s like no that’s not the right one. please i miss my friend tails i miss him a lot

it’s also not that good because it’s literally just like a mental lollipop for my brain to suck on as i fall asleep each night (i came up with that metaphor once and now i can’t stop saying it because it’s true)

each link “spawns” (idk) in a particular place or kind of place that i think fits them. and i came up with the idea that they have to use a certain item to… somehow get totk link back idk how or why but it seemed fitting for a tloz quest. also there is a Mysterious Villain behind it all but idk who yet it might just be an original guy but maybe they’re aided by past villains who also got eeby deeby’d

anyway this is. a list i made. i do not remember the exact story of every game so it’s really spitballing (hence “little magic shard thingy”) so forgive me if i got things wrong but each link is taken from a certain point during their journey or sometimes after, whichever my brain thought was most compelling at the time

i’m still not sure if albw link would be there tbh but it’s not a fully formed thing yet anyway so maybe

also dark link is there buts he’s like an Ultra Dark Link who can change form/shapeshift to match whatever link he’s facing and it was conjured by whoever the villain is i guess

i don’t even know what happens to totk link he’s just. not there sorry

also the totk sages would be present i’m sure but i actually kind of forgot they would logically want to help but yeah

anyway. idk what else to say besides i’m not a writer unfortunately i just generate images in my mind that have dialogue and it’s great. in my head at least
