Zelda OC Trio

I've had them living in my mind for like,,,prolly somewhere between half a year to a year and I'm really hoping nothing too similiar has been done before lmfao SO. My silly little OC Trio is basically a bit of a switcheroo regarding their ages (Keep in mind everything said here is still just a rough draft and will,,,eventually, be worked on) Link would be somewhere in his late 20s and Zelda would be in mid- to late 30s. While Ganondorf would be somewhere between 10-16 years old. If I ever were to start working more on this trio, it would focus on Link and Zelda awaiting the appearance of Ganondorf and growing more and more anxious, since not only has Zelda woken her powers long ago but the wielder of the Triforce of courage has also been found over a decade ago. Until eventually, a knight informs them of a few Gerudo having seen someone with the triforce of power on the back of their hand. Naturally, they go to investigate after a couple of days and traverse the desert in search of the person. They expected an old man, someone who has been hiding and letting his power go stronger and stronger. They were fully ready to battle Ganondorf right there in the desert. What they did not expect was to meet a feral Gerudo boy, cruising around the sand with his sand seal and who also has the Triforce of Power right there on the back of his hand. So yeah, they're not about fighting Ganondorf and letting the cycle continue on afterwards, they're about needing to make a decision of letting the boy live (which he will, for now, because they can't just kill a child???) or killing him while Demise's hatred hasn't taken too much control of him. They're pretty self-indulgent and kind of an excuse to let Link take up the dad position for Ganondorf BWHAHAHA A bit of side-facts that are interesting to know, Zelda is actually part-sheikah and has the white hair to prove it AND she also has a daughter already. It's why she's pretty eager at first to find Ganondorf as fast as possible, so that her daughter won't need to fight in her place. There's some more side-facts and tiny secrets, especially concerning Link and Zelda's Daughter, but I think I will save them for later once I get motivation to start working on reference sheets :D If this all sounds very confusing, then it's due to the fact that my brain is dead and that I didn't have as much time and motivation as I would have liked lmao xD Would love to know what peeps think about this!:D

The Self Inserts

For those of you who don't know me, I'm an avid selfshipper. As such, I've carefully inserted all of my Zelda self inserts into this AU, too. Gaze upon them and know despair.

Lyric

Early thirties.

Owns the house directly across from the Triforce Trio.

She and Ganondorf met one day while Lyric was singing in her garden, and they struck up a rapport.

Lyric doesn't know what it is, but somehow...being here, with him...it just feels right!

The two are in a healthy relationship. She is aware that Ganondorf has two sugar babies and is totally fine with that.

A big fan of the band Ghost. Has avid lore and stories she's written about them.

Aria

Early thirties.

Brings a sickly, victorian waif who may or may not be a ghost vibe to the function.

Lost her memory after a bad blow to the head, and Ghirahim found her wandering around his neighborhood.

Perhaps he took pity, perhaps he just wanted a new toy to play with. He took her in, gave her food and clothes, and set about giving her a makeover. He even gave her a name!

That's right--Aria isn't her original name.

But even after she recovered her memories, she decided to keep it.

After a few months, Aria regained enough of herself to move out and live with Lyric.

Aria and Ghirahim are constantly sexting and erotic roleplaying. He gives her an allowance sometimes.

Her browsing history is rotted. Please don't look at it.

Melody

Mid twenties.

Avid horse girl and adventurer extraordinaire!

She met Link through the local Equestrian Center when she moved to town, and the two immediately got along.

They are Tulio and Miguel, except that most of the time they're both Miguel.

Was inducted into Link's Secret Polycule by Ilya and gets along well with all the other members.

Has a massive Clydesdale stallion named Bing Bong. He's kind of an idiot.

Thinks life is just wonderful and treasures her freedom above all else.

Sonata

Early thirties.

Shy and bookish.

She and Shad are childhood friends, currently sharing a townhouse crammed full of ancient artifacts and tomes.

Her special interest is the Twili, and the medallion around her neck is one of their symbols.

Caught the attention of Zant one day while he was out stalking Ganondorf and he took a hard fall. Sonata was the one to help him up, making sure he was alright before leaving with a smile.

Ever since then, Zant won't leave her alone.

He has her computer bugged, he is the reason she no longer owns a working webcam, and she's terrified she'll look out the window at night and see him outside.

She just wants to live her life...why won't this weirdo go away...?

Dirge

Mid Thirties.

Rarely speaks.

Skilled outdoorswoman. She lives in a tent in the forest.

Fully believes animals are better than people.

Her 'home base' is pitched next to some old ruins, which drew in Shad like a moth to fire. Those old ruins are cursed and trapped to Hell and back, and Shad would have died if Dirge hadn't yanked him back at the last second. She scoffed at him, calling him an idiot and not to do that again.

He's followed her around ever since.

Usually he's pestering her to help him navigate the forest and the different ruins there. He pays well enough, so she begrudgingly obliges, but lately...

Who knows? Maybe the little weirdo finally grew on her.

He reminds her of a lost puppy. A little annoying, sure, but cute is cute.

So they're dating now!

After Shad voiced his displeasure that Sonata was being stalked, she went and threatened Zant. What are you going to do, dox her? She doesn't have a computer, dude!

Cadence

Early Thirties.

The Hot One.

Knows she's attractive and isn't afraid to show it off.

Proud of her body--actively goes to the gym to work out.

That's where she met Groose! The two hit it off immediately and began a passionate relationship.

Her favorite activity there is Groose doing pushups while she sits on his back, cheering him on.

Prima

Thirty.

Dreamy and refined.

The heiress to a wealthy company, she likes to LARP as a princess 24/7.

She's caught the eye of the local artist, Yuga. Such grace...such beauty! A muse for the ages!

She must be his.

I don't actually have a lot for them yet since I'm still fleshing out their actual in-game story, but I figured I'd put the broad strokes here, lol.

I never thought about making TLoZ OCs as just one of the incarnations as Link and Zelda. Brilliant!

IT'S VERY FUN!

Since link can be any lil guy and the triforce trio cycle will keep going forever as long as the franchise is still active, making link&zelda ocs is a very valid thing lol

And thinking about a placement in the timelines, etc, is very fun too!

I recommend it to everyone actually, let's all make zelda & link ocs!
