Do you think Legend knows about Hyrule's fairy form?

sorry for the wait! Anyways...

From a headcannon standpoint, I'm going to say yes. Let's pretend they were in a situation where Hyrule needed to be in fairy form so now Legend knows. But ONLY Legend knows. Hyrule wants to keep it a secret, even if there isn't any reason for it other than just keeping it a secret.

But in cannon, I have no idea. I haven't seen any evidence of anyone knowing about Hyrule's fairy form. If someone were to find out then it probably would be Legend. Who knows, with this new dungeon arc we may see Fairy Rule yet!

I HAVE A MOVIE RECOMMENDATION!

This Christmas season, watch "The man who invented Christmas" on Netflix. It's a really good story. It's inspired by Charles Dickens story and how he wrote A Christmas carol. Anyways, my favourite part is the relatable writing experience. It's PERFECT.

Anyways, if you have time then definitely go watch it. IF you are interested in that type of thing, of course

Legend no longer has any patience for your game, Anon.

But I suppose not all Ask box fairies can be perfect angels. We got to have a little chaos here and there 😉

[theecholegend]

So why was Legend paired with Hyrule, you ask?

Shouldn’t the two most experienced dungeoneers have each been paired with someone less experienced? Ideally, yes, but Time does explain his logic:

He doesn’t state it very eloquently, but he’s right on the money. Twilight’s near death is still having an effect on everyone in the group, and Legend is far from exempt. His behavior since the group left town shows that Legend is emotionally unstable and therefore a liability.

Deep dive under the cut!

Now, we all know that our Veteran is prickly around the edges. But he’s “all bark and no bite” - direct quote from Twilight. Despite that, it’s not like he can dish it out but not take it. When he’s the butt of the joke, he’s a bit of a grumpasaurus about it but he’s not that upset. In fact, he’s happy to banter, as we can see here:

But recently, since the group left town? Even when he’s not speaking, he’s got an angry face:

And when he does open his mouth, even Hyrule seems to think his snark is uncalled for:

Though it’s important to note that Hyrule does handle this very tactfully. He knows what makes his predecessor tick. In fact, he’s been a near constant shadow to him since The Twilight Incident.

Speaking of going too far, Legend then goes on to pull a prank during a dangerous situation:

And then turns right back around and hypocritically jumps all over Wild for not taking a dangerous situation seriously:

This time he does not take the correction well. And what would normally be an invitation for banter is refused in favor of sulking.

So, what does this tell us? It’s subtle, but when you look at everything together, it’s evident that Legend is not coping well with recent events. He’s acting impulsively, and a lack of self-restraint can be disastrous in a dungeon.

But what, exactly, is Legend feeling? Well, we know that besides Hyrule, Twilight is the one he seems to respect the most:

And he had a surprisingly good bedside manner with Twilight when he was injured. I’m not gonna point to images for this because it actually spans a good portion of both the Sunset and Dawn arcs and this post would get too bogged down, but examples include: removing his cap when entering the sick room, speaking kindly and encouragingly to Twilight, and spending time with him in a small group setting when he was finally on the mend.

This tells us that not only does Legend respect Twilight, but he’s forged a close bond with him as well. We know that Legend does not let people close to him on principle because of Koholint Trauma, but he seems to have made an exception for a couple teammates.

And what happens shortly after he’s made that exception?

Twilight almost dies.

Legend almost loses someone close to him again.

And he can’t cope.

He feels helpless in this kind of situation. He doesn’t feel in control. He doesn’t know how to fix this and prevent more bad things from happening. He tries to make some sense of what’s going on, but though he acts confident, he’s really not:

And that lack of confidence is extremely difficult for him.

How do his feelings manifest in a stressful situation? By antagonizing people and subconsciously pushing them away.

That, my friends, is what’s going on under the hood. Time’s dealt with enough people in his life to be able to figure this out. Someone who’s emotionally unstable is unpredictable and a liability.

But Legend does have a Safe Person. A person who takes his prickliness in stride. Who’s able to gently correct and/or redirect him without eliciting an argument. A person that Legend doesn’t have to worry about because he’s confident that that person can handle themself. A person that’s going to allow him to focus on the task at hand.

That person is Hyrule.

Time made the right choice.

I think the main thing I learned about Zelda from Echoes is that she is really good at sleeping

[theecholegend]

About that keychain comic I did recently, I like to believe key is very touch starved lol

Like she was raised as a princess so she didn't have like peers her age nor siblings, and she wasn't close physically to anyone cause Royalty

And like, I can see her struggle with the whole adventure and being stuck to Chain cause like, she isn't used to physical touch but craves it either way, cause u know, as humans do

And Chain is a very physical touchy person cause he grew up in a big family, so he pats her back jokingly or grabs her arm to guide her, or clasps her shoulder when they do something good in a dungeon and like he doesn't even think about it cause it's so natural to him

But every touch means so much to her, like she craves holding hands and a hug so badly, this girl is Going Through It, but she is also very prideful and would rather die than ever initiate or ask for it

Hence the comic I just did with her trying to grab his hand when he is sleeping, cause like if he doesn't know about it then it's OK for her to initiate right lmao

And also those other drawings I've done of her hugging him, he's always knocked out lol again, she feels bolder with hugging or physical touch if he doesn't know about it (it's fucking passed out)

i forgot to turn on anon again wth is going on with me

Hi! This is the spirit anon.

With Christmas coming up fast and a rush of things going on around us, it is easy to forget the important things. While being surrounded by people giving each other gifts, it is important to remember that there are gifts we have always had- our talents. You, friend, are a beautiful, talented, strong person, and this is why I am sending you this message. Even the most talented people I know (like you!) forget this sometimes. You are beautifully and wonderfully made. Never forget that. Make sure you get a drink of water, a snack, and a bit of rest. Unclench your jaw and take it easy <3

-spirit anon

@twink-between-worlds you are so right for saying that. This image paired with Snoopy's cry is perfect

I'm so sorry I feel kind of insane and I have been all day. I feel like I've been chugging monster drinks since I woke up

Hiya Echo!!

I just had a question that I wanted to ask before I did anything,

but for your @/fairies-ask-legend-answers, would I be able to send in an ask as another LU or a Link from another Linkverse AU (I'll say Realm, my AUs Hero of Legend as an example) to interact with Legend or no?

Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to be completely sure before I did anything!

by the way your art's very amazing and pretty and I love the way you draw Legend! :)

Hello! Don't worry, I appreciate you asking and it's far from a bother :)

Though, I will have to apologize because that account is strictly for ask box fairies.

But once again, I really appreciate you asking first. All questions in regards to the account are welcome!

[theecholegend]

let's talk about legend~

central room 2 + 3 analysis, with some bonus!

x

something that immediately stood out to me was legend's expression and body language. he's upset about losing his (magic!) boomerang, but after the initial outburst he's clearly trying very hard not to start any more infighting.

x

going back a bit, it's legend who's been trying to lighten the mood among the group (to questionable results) and is better at staying on track and levelheaded than certain people *coughs* hyrule *coughs* are...

x

i am also reminded of the way legend interacted with wild, which i analyzed more thoroughly here.

(an overarching legend&wild analysis may be in the works sooner rather than later)

x x

back to the reason we're actually here, can we talk about how embarrassed legend is whenever time has to scold him? please? can we talk about the veteran who knows he's an extremely competent teen and everybody tells him that constantly and he does love to play around but not at the cost of his maturity? and he hates making mistakes that negatively impact the team? please can we talk abou

OKAY BYE PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS !!!

Disappointed dad look™️

It makes me wonder... maybe Time has a sort of expectation he's placed on Legend? Nothing super serious, but he is the Veteran and after pulling a stunt like he did (losing his boomerang so soon) then a stern look might be well suited for the moment.

I just think that Legend has a little more on his shoulders. No, he doesn't want to be the leader type but out of everyone, Time, Wars, Twilight and Legend are probably the most suited for leading roles.

After all, Legend has stepped in before. When Twilight got injured and things were being thrown out of balance Legend took it upon himself to keep some of them in check.

Idk, it's just a thought. Maybe even a little more of a headcannon than anything else. But I have SO many thoughts about this new update!

Ok, the teams

Twilight and sky 👍

Legend and Hyrule

Wild and Warriors

Time, Wind and Four.

So, my thoughts!

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that Legend and Hyrule are together just because it seemed like a typical pair. But, I'm still very much excited for the future! This could actually lead to a lot of tension. Two people who work completely alone, who know it all, now stuck together and are supposed to work together? I don't know about you but this might get a bit chaotic.

Now Twilight and Sky is an interesting choice. As in, it's interesting that Time put them together. The Old man went an entirely different direction than what Wars had suggested. Which was very surprising. Though, if Time is still concerned over Twilight then this is a good solution. Sky has the master sword, which is probably the most efficient weapon against the shadow. So much so the shadow actually seems scared of it. So a good pair.

Warriors and Wild is a SHOCKING pair. I doubt anybody expected that. Two people who are very inexperienced with dungeons being put together alone IN a dungeon. I think Wars wants to kind of wrangle Wild in. He's Wild, after all and so far I think only Wars has been able to keep him in check.

Time with both Four and Wind, awesome. The two tiny's with mister big! I think both Wind and Four are very grounding people and Time needs that. And I just like these three as a group so they might be the ones I'm most excited to see.

Anyways, I'm now waiting very impatiently for the next update. I want to see more! How is all this going to go down?? What is going to happen to them all? What things might they face in the near future?! Only time will tell...
