LOL thank you this is the answer I was looking for! They miscommunicate with an emo/goth girl kinda swag…
I can’t explain it but vidow is so Yuri coded to me
Maybe it’s bc Shadow reminds me of Homura
the chain but they’re a van life family YouTube channel
The sun is beginning to rise, and my eyes are blinking at different rates, but it's starhalo.
I think it would be kind of interesting if the chain went on two adventures. What I mean by that is the first one would occur while most of the chain have only been through one or a few of their games. This could also be seen as a childhood friends au? The chain is pulled together when most of them are pretty young.
Time has just finished Majora’s Mask and is in full young teen angst, trauma, mode. He’s extremely mischievous and poorly adjusted. He’s only around 12 or 13 years old.
Wind has just been through the events of Wind Waker. He’s only 12 and is pretty shaken up but still pretty similar I’d say. Maybe even more hyper and desperate to prove himself.
Hyrule has just been through the events of Zelda 1. He’s quiet and jumpy. Dawn has gently been spending the past two years trying to help him adjust to a more social life but it’s been slow going. He’s extremely anxious to be around so many people. I’d say he’s around 14.
Four has only been through the events of Minish Cap so he’s not even Four yet. His age is canonically the most confusing to me but I really like the headcanons that he’s a young adult who has a baby face. In this he’d be a kid though, so maybe around 11?
Legend I can’t decide whether he’d have only been through A Link to the Past and the oracle games or if he’s been through Links Awakening by this point. I think it would be more interesting if he had just been through Link’s Awakening and is severely jaded. He’s 16. (If he had only been thru the oracle games he’d be 14 and a lot more light hearted)
Wild would have gone through the events of Botw being 17. He’d honestly just be pretty baseline with no crazy changes.
Twilight would have also just gone through Twilight Princess being 18. I think he’d be really hung up on Midna.
Sky has also just completed Skyward Sword, I think he’d also be 18? Pretty similar to canon.
Warriors was plucked halfway through his game and thrust into this adventure. He’s very stressed, worried he left his people behind when they needed him most. He becomes the group leader being the eldest at 20.
They come together, pretty much a platoon of child soldiers, defeat the evil, say teary goodbyes, and return home.
Years later they’re all shocked to be pulled into a second journey across time and get to reunite with their brothers.
This time Time is his canon Lu age of being somewhere around his early to mid thirties being much more cool and collected than the actual child nightmare he was initially. He falls easily into a leadership role. He seems to have mended many of his mental wounds despite him being prone to grumpiness. This adventure after so many years of peace is pretty triggering though.
Wind has gone through phantom hour glass and is freshly 15. He’s a little more mature now but very much so the same kid except now he’s like: “I see dead people”
Hyrule is a lot better socialized this time. He’s almost easy going and has a mischievous streak that the chain welcomes. It’s a fine change from the scared scrawny kid he was years ago. He still is exceedingly sweet and has a plethora of new talents to share. He also has crippling paranoid and a blood phobia. He’s around 18.
Four, despite being the youngest the first mission, is now a young man being in his early twenties. He doesn’t talk much about his last adventure but he’s noticeably scatterbrained. Despite that, he can think outside the box like nobody else. It’s like he can think with the power of four people! He also goes by the name four now.
Legend who has completed two more quests now is incredibly frustrated to have been yanked out of retirement/his wedding planning. Legend was able to manage a lot of healing over his last two journeys. He got engaged to the one and only Ravio who he was supposed to be working on wedding invitations with. He’s lighter now but still a grouch at times. He’s in his earlier twenties.
Wild has completed his mission from TotK and somehow his iPad can do EVEN MORE now. If lobbing bombs wasn’t enough last time, now he can crawl through walls. He is noticeably shaken in a way he wasn’t last time and has almost an unwilling clarity of the world around him. He’s 21 now.
I so sorry but I don’t think Twilight would be much different. If anyone has thoughts pls lmk. He’s been able to move on from Midna and has thrown himself into shepherd work. I think he’d be courting Ilia and would be living a good country life while getting to brag about having tea with the princess. He’s fairly okay with being on another mission.
Okay this is totally just a headcanon but I picture Sky as that guy you knew in highschool who gets married really young and starts a family right after school. Sky is stressed after getting sent on another because he’s in the middle of building a kingdom and his wife, Sun, is pregnant.
Poor Warriors. As mentioned the first journey happened for him when he was halfway through his war. Unlike many of the others, when he returned to his f ‘n c z timeline it was like no time had passed at all. For the second half of his war he met many new people and old friends. Mask (time) joined him, an older, almost grown version of Wind as his best friend and second in command, Ravio, Midna. When the war ends he’s saddened to say goodbye to dear friends once again. Warriors is whisked away to his second journey with the chain the moment his war ends. For him, it’s only been a year or less in some circumstances that he’s seen the chain. For most of them to had aged so much is jarring to him. The last time he saw them all it was him and a mostly non verbal group of children. Now it’s a group of almost all adults bar Wind, who was Warriors’ age last time he saw him. Most shocking of all is to see his baby brother all grown up and older than him.
I haven’t put much further thought into the AU but I thought the dynamic of splitting the chain up by the amount of adventures they completed would be interesting. Most of the chain also had started their journeys as children so I thought it would be a fun dynamic for them to have all met younger. Poor Warriors though, leading 6 mentally ill teenagers and children was a huge task. And now they’re all either older than him or roughly the same age. I imagine they hit the pubs hard 😭
I FORGOT ABOUT LUNK 😭
and omg Cyanide and Happiness what nostalgia
this post has been reminding me that Link’s Awakening had the biggest impact on millennials and that everything I ever think they’ve already thunk and I should remember that.
I feel like this version of Legend is biblically accurate to your rabbit headcanon Legend, at least in the way his uncle is scared of him 😭 @weepingtalecowboy
idk if this has been said before but a headcanon of mine (from my ✨personal✨ collection) is that before Hyrule met Legend he thought that he’d have a sort of Heman (He-Man???) build
Like this ^ before meeting him bc the legends were always saying stuff like “The hero of Legend could lift BOULDERS with his bare hands!!! He could run faster than an arrow 😤”
and poor Rulie always felt like such a fraud bc he was using power cuff and rings to aide himself
when he finally meets Legend and finds out he’s a slight malnourished twink that’s also been using magic items to aide himself he’s so happy and relieved.
there’s also something so special about being able to see yourself in your hero and finding out they’re not some perfect alpha chad but a genuine person who wasn’t ready to fight but had to blah blah blah
Everybody drawing Dapper as just Minecraft-coded Ciel Phantomhive are my personal heroes
My daydreaming has recently just reverted to my middle school form so here’s the edgy BBH lab AU that I’ve been chewing on
Evil lab, probably just the federation does human testing
they take bbh, a regular guy, and try to genetically form him into an idea assassin or something. Night vision resulting in glowing, white eyes, camouflaged skin to blend in with statues, lighter bones to better climb and scale buildings, and a tail for balance. Sharp teeth, claws, and horns all as backup weapons. Enhanced speed and strength. He’s now a man made demon! his creators are likely pleased! They’ve created a perfect being to do their biddings. Perfect to steal artifacts, to spy, and to kill.
They realize they’ve made a mistake when they try to send bbh on his first mission. All their work resulted in Bad’s brain changing as well. He goes from a reasonable guy they kidnapped to an instinct filled, FURIOUS demon. They didn’t do much psychological upkeep or brainwashing when they altered him, they might have assumed or had a plan to mess with his frontal lobe and amygdala but either, oops, forgot, OR accidentally altered it to make him 10x more unruly.
the second his feet hit the ground he immediately turns back and probably takes out a scientist or two before being sedated.
no they have an absolutely livid and untamable perfect assassin that they continuously try to hypnotize or brainwash but it never works. They try sedation or drugging but every time Bad just naps it off and wakes up angrier. It isn’t until they introduce Bad to the child subjects, idk why they would actually do that there’s like a fifty percent chance he would just fly into homicidal rage, and he becomes fiercely protective and loyal to them.
finally they have leverage over him.
and then eventually he either breaks out or gets rescued with the kids but I haven’t really got there yet 😗
idk about you guys but I love reading what people are thinking about or their personal Brain aus.
this sparked from rewatching the analogue horror videos from the Poppy Playtime devs. I really enjoy the plot and horror they have but also find it very amusing that these people just didn’t really have a way to actually subdue their experiments in times of disaster? They literally had Huggy Wuggy just standing in the atrium what were they thinking
When Twilight goes wolf mode does he retain a fully Hylian mind or does he have some wolf instincts? I haven’t played his game or read the mangas (I’m sorry twilight 😔) so I’m not sure if there’s anything canon for this
what I’m personally picturing is that he obviously retains enough of a Hylian mind to communicate, retain memories well, etc. buuuuuutt
for fun
I think he would have a lot of wolf instincts as a wolf. Like if he’s mad at somebody in the chain he might have half a mind to take a piss in their boots while in wolf mode. Or maybe the chain is admiring some voles or squirrels and Willie comes up and just goes chomp 😭 he’s a little horrified when he switches back to a crying Wind and disappointed Sky
I guess my theory is just basically tame werewolf Twilight 😭
I also think he’d be colorblind, specifically red-green which dogs and wolves have
somebody pls lmk what you think, im pretty sure in canon he can talk to animals which would make him going “chomp” kind of fucked up of him but hey, he’s a wolf, food chain and all
AU where the Hyrule and Legend meet first before the rest of the chain.
The portal dumps Hyrule right in the middle of the ocean. Even if he could swim it would be futile as there’s no land for many miles. As he starts to drown he sees a flash of shimmering scales. He loses and regains consciousness over and over again over a course of time that he can’t count. Each time he wakes sees pretty pink scales, pink hair, gills, and violet eyes. Sometimes he even hears the comforting few notes of a song.
When he finally comes to it’s tucked safely under a cluster of palm trees on the shore of an unfamiliar beach in an even more unfamiliar, but familiar, Hyrule. He has to wonder if the goddess really does love him or if he really was rescued by a mermaid.
Legend had never intended to leave the unfortunate Hylian behind. He left him in a safe spot on the shore before looking for a nearby village that could give better medical attention than he could. He never would have expected an avalanche to descend out of nowhere. It’s not even rainy season. Before he can run or activate a shield he’s struck across the head and knows no more.
He gains consciousness a few times and each he sees the shining form of a green fairy, a color of fairy he’s never seen before. Each time he wakes he hears soft chiming and feels the warmth of fairy magic in his blood. When he finally comes to he’s nestled safely in the roots of a great old tree. He wonders if the green fairy was real or if one of his rings just activated.
Legend and Hyrule both travel for a day aching and tired. Each of them are determined to find the unfortunate soul they had to momentarily leave alone. They run into each other on the road and recognize one another immediately. Do they mention their acts of kindness or blatant recognition? NO.
Maybe one day in the future they mention being saved by a mermaid/odd green fairy. Do they piece together each other’s stories? Maybe…
