Albino!Warriors Headcanons: Part 1 of Many

Since many people are posting their LU Warriors headcanons today, I decided to post this thing today. Headcanons of LU Warriors/Hyrule Warriors Link being born an albino and about his life. I will try to be as medically accurate as possible but since I’m not an albino or know anyone who is, I will probably be at times wrong. You can thank @sirassban for the idea of Wars being an albino. For my sanity, he is called Link for the most part. When I get the LU parts, he will be called Warriors.

There will be a lot of info because I like to info dump. I never seem to be able to write a story though.

Link has OCA1 which means he has reduced production of melanin in his skin, hair, and eyes. And by reduced, I mean barely any

Despite the common belief that albinos have red eyes, he actually has purple eyes. This is due to the fact that the only pigment he has is a tiny bit of blue in his eyes which due to lighting, causes his eyes to appear as purple

Mostly due to his white hair, people assume he has Sheikah ancestry. He and Linkle aren't completely sure on that to due to the fact their biological father was abandoned as a baby in an orphanage before being adopted by a noble family

The only reason he was able to get into the army was because he lied, saying his hair and skin was due to Sheikah ancestry. He would have been disqualified from joining immediately if they had known he was an albino (Having albinism disqualifies you from joining the US military, so I am basing Hylian/Hyrulean army on that)

He only got found out when after a battle early in the war, Skeik came to check up on him due to previous incident involving Link hiding a serious stab wound. She found him with second degree sunburns across his shoulders and back. He had ended up losing his shirt earlier due to the fact it caught on fire and never got a replacement until after the battle

Sheik immediately dragged him to the medics where her and Impa (who followed after seeing Link being dragged) learn about his condition from an experienced medic who could tell the difference from Sheikah ancestry and albinism

Impa really chewed out Link. For hiding and lying about his condition, lying to join the army, and of course for not taking care of himself. If he wasn't the Hero and needing him to fight in the war, she would have send him home immediately. She did tell his dad though.

Link's adoptive father is a lieutenant general under Impa's command. He officially adopted Link when he was 16 but fostered him when he was about 14 (the war began a few weeks before his 18 birthday). He didn't know Link was albino bc Link hid that fact, knowing his father would enforced the rules about Albinism in the army. Needless to say, he was not happy to find out about Link's condition.

Link was grounded for a long time. When the Chain meet up, Time and Wind (aka Mask and Tune) asked him if he was still grounded. He refused to answer.

(He is still grounded)

While Toon and Mask are Link's charges, the moment Link's condition was known those two was charged of watching Link to make sure he doesn't hurt himself by forgetting about that fact his skin and eyes are far more sensitive than a normal hylian's.

His fairies, especially Proxi, learn the small signs that Link was overexerting himself. His water fairies help cool him down while his dark fairies create shadows to keep him out of the sun. The others lecture him on not taking care of himself.

Most of his fairies went with him on his adventure with the Chain. Lana created special bottles for them that are basically fairy apartments. Warriors lets them out when they make camp, are at an inn, or a Link's home.

And I'm ending it here. Enjoy these headcanons. I'm making another heacanon post that focuses on Warriors' backstory.

*Later on*

Warriors: Lesson 1 on how to talk to people you country bumpkin, don’t call random strangers ‘darling’, ‘sweetheart’, or goddess forbid, ‘sweet thing’

Twilight: I don’t understand why I can’t use ‘darling’ but who calls strangers ‘sweet thing’?

Warriors: Men in my battalion. Most of them got slapped.

Twilight: Only most?

I was thinking of a story idea that involves Warriors and his twin sister Linkle being turned into infants during the war and I ended up creating headcanon lore about Hylian biology. I had to share it.

You know how newborn kittens and puppies are born blind and deaf and stay that way for a while? I kind of basically did the same things with Hylians but only the deaf part. Newborn Hylians are born deaf with their ears curled in on themselves. As the baby grows up, they slowly get their hearing until they’re about six months old, although sometimes it can take up to a year, when they can fully hear. Their ears uncurl at roughly the same rate as their hearing but not always.

If only I was an artist then I would sketch this. It would be so cute!

Okay, I know Breath of the Wild has been out for 6 years, but how come I never saw any post or anything really about how CALAMITY GANON LOOKS LIKE FUCKING NIGHTMARE FUEL?!

After finally giving in and buying a switch and playing BOTW since I wanted to play that before playing Tears of the Kingdom, I get to Calamity Ganon’s battle and that thing looks like a far more creepy and deformed version of R.L.Stine’s The Evil Thing from ‘The Haunting Hour, Don’t Think About It’?! Like seriously?!

Good Goddesses, if Wild showed the Chain what Calamity Ganon looked like, no one would be sleeping for a while. Not even Sky.

I want to post my LU Warriors headcanons but the three times I try, they’re not showing up in the tag search. And I’d tagged them correctly. Is anyone else having this problem?

I might try again later but I hate that even though they’re tagged correctly, they’re not showing up.
