#v ; and i walk ancient roads [ancient hyrule]

[dutifulsilence]

ooc ; long overdue verses post. I've been meaning to put this together since I started this blog and just never really got around to it.

( * ) denotes exclusive verse

LIGHT GUIDE ME  — v ; light guide me and fine me [totk]

Main verse, when I actually feel like tagging it. Takes place ambiguously during the events of TotK to the point where I have reached in the game - Link does not have the Master Sword, has not beaten all the shrines, and certainly has not defeated Ganondorf.

FELL APART  — v ; before it all fell apart [pre-calamity]

Verse for any threads set prior to the events of BotW - this can include AU verses, Age of Calamity verses, or general threads set during Link's childhood and training years. Note: Link may make frequent reference to his best friend, Greis - his info is listed under the "other info" section of my pinned.

WITHOUT SOUND  — v ; a world without sound [botw]

Verse tag for any general BotW threads or threads set between BotW and TotK.

ANCIENT ROADS  — v ; and i walk ancient roads [ancient hyrule]

Verse for role-swaps where Link falls into the past, general ancient verse, etc, etc.

GERUDO'S SON — v ; fate bears down on a desert's son [ gerudo au ]

AU in which Link was taken in and raised by a Gerudo woman at Kara Kara bazaar after he was orphaned during a trip with his father. Link grew up training with the guards stationed at the bazaar and was nearby when Princess Zelda was attacked by Yiga - his act would lead him to become the Hylian Champion, despite his adoption into the Gerudo clan. Events of BotW will still affect him the same way.

TWIN AU — v ; two sides of courage [ twin au ] * Exclusive to @ gloryseized

Verse where two Heroes were born - twins Rin (dutifulsilence) and Shion (gloryseized). Inseparable, the twins were both named Champions, both protected the Princess, and both were placed in the Shrine of Resurrection to later defeat the Calamity together. When the Upheaval struck, both were struck heavy blows to their sword-arms; Shion would receive Rauru's arm, where Rin seemed to have come off lucky - until they discovered Ganondorf's gloom was slowly corrupting Rin from the inside out.

CORRUPTION AU — v ; how hard this hero's fallen [ corruption au ]

General tag for any and all threads in which Link becomes fully corrupted by the gloom in his body and falls under Ganondorf's power. Specific plots with specific muses may get a secondary verse tag.

OLD TOWN ROAD — v ; to the old town road [modern au]

Modern day verse, where Link is a student at Hyrule University, majoring in engineering with a minor in ancient Hyrulean history. He works part time as a cook in a family restaurant, though he is fairly well-known for his cooking videos on TikTok.
