*is rereading the Four Swords Adventures Manga again to refresh self after replaying Pocket Mirror (RPG Maker Game)*
*Almost drops coffee* Oh holy Hylia. Enjel and Shadow could talk.
Created by the person who's basically the main antagonist? Check.
Fifth secret part out of a protagonist split into four? Check.
Is forced to follow after the protagonist in shadow/reflection like fashion and hates every second of it to the point they're willing to lie and manipulate to take their place? Check.
Wants that specifically because they're jealous and never were love or wanted in their life, so they desperately want someone, anyone to look at them like they're worth something, no matter what they have to do for it desperately craving the love they've seen someone else get even if it's not real because they've just taken over/are pretending to be that person? Check.
Dies tragically due to shattering? Sometimes only getting the care they've wanted through that death after being swayed into not fulfilling their original purpose and returning to the protagonist? Triple check.
That or it's the sleep deprivation making me see parallels between two artificial beings created from the shadow of the protagonist and has a strong association with mirrors.
... Now I want a Zelda/Linked Universe Pocket Mirror Au, with Four/Four Swords Link as the protagonist (or Green as the protag) and Shadow in Enjel's role, or maybe Lisette's (though I feel Blue or Vio would be better for Lisette), Vaati can be the Pumpkin King he's dramatic enough for it, though I dunno which colors would best fit Fleta and Harpae. Maybe Link's Father or Dot made the deal this run around? I can absolutely see Shadow describing Four as "Mr.Goody Two Shoes" through a mirror, or any of the endings being played out by them.
#linked universe au#kinda?#lu four#lu shadow#Pocket Mirror Au#listen#I just think Shadow and Enjel should get to go to therapy#where they both cynically bond over being created by someone wishing the protagonist ill but being brought over to their side#through someone actually caring for them#G------ and Four can bond over mirror trauma with Twilight in the back#I can also see Shadow in Lisette's role really easily though frankly him and Vio are both extra and feral enough for it lol#Four Swords Adventures Link/Four from LU 🤝 G----- from Pocket Mirror having a story with themes of self acceptance#through learning to coexist with the different aspects of their personhood and to accept even an aspect not fully theirs#I could go on but I'm sleep deprived and need to do some actual writing lol#plus I doubt anyone would like to listen to me overanalyzing Four or Shadow for hours the essay is literally hours long
