Let Wind shine in combat
Wind off-screen : take off his enemies without problem.
Wind on-screen : gets bullied by a lizard and have a relationship with the floor.
He lives!!!
So...
Twilight is alive (but Wars seems to still be mentally preparing the funeral with the way he talks).
Legend is (the only) responsible of the group (again). He has his priorities straight (kill first, ask questions later)
Hyrule is ready to shine.
Wild is ready to kick ass.
All in all there’s no bad news (Yet) Yeah!!
Dink went Boom like a baloon
Dink thought they were doing okay.
They had the wolf beaten up and the one-eyed man away. The others were fighting the hordes of lizalfos. Truly it was great (even though he was wounded).
And then they saw the archer stand with a murderous glare. They weren’t scared. An archer is a lightweight after all (a hit and he would be down).
The scarred man drew his sword and threw himself at them. In a fit of gymnastic he avoided the axe and a flash of yellow blinded them.
It was at this moment that they knew they had fucked up. (If they choose a tactical retreat over being beaten by a wild firecracker, it was their problem).
...
Or Legend is done being Dad and avoids being hit by a chunk of armor like a chef (why use your shield when you can be a showoff Sky).
Wild went apeshit and it was good. (Four is gonna shriek murder later).
Warriors is gonna be Dad2 with Time (Disappointed Team but Impressed Team on the inside).
Wind, I am so waiting for your shining moment (please be it medium Wind).
And Dink will not underestimate the twinks of the group EVER AGAIN. (And regret going after Twilight for a looong time).

Well... It went from Twi trolling Wars to Twi last monologue in the sunset very fast. He’s a true drama queen (Midna taught him well) but he’s dying so he’s allowed to be.
Also, confirmation that he’s a worrywart.
Maybe we can hope for a “save Twilight” arc where the team searches for a cure while Twi is being a very beautiful dying damsel. Or maybe he will die.
(Anxiously wainting for the chapter next month) We love angst and to bully them but it’s because we love them

Little quadruplets beat the shit out of angry amnesiac man, more at 5.
Seriously, Wild went apeshit and now Four is gonna throttle him. When Time goes out he will have a little surprise.
When we don’t get Twilight angst we get Wild angst. (He doesn’t want to see more people die, he’s panicking, he’s denying the reality).
On the other side, another secret is revealed ! (in such an anticlimatic way) The others will have to fess up theirs soon (pls Medium Wind)
Linked universe double update
Yeah ! An update ! A DOUBLE update ! (I’m so happy)
We were hoping for Four ruining and trashing Wild. We got Four (or Red) ruining his mind and reminding him of his survivors guilt and some burried memories (which ouch but... I secretly love the angst).
I love the explanation about Four being Four even if I prefer the separate personalities thing.
So Wild is without a sword and alone with his bad memories... (is it time to up the angst ?)
And Four doesn’t know what to do and is anxious.
So we didn’t have a fight but we got an angst bomb and psychological drama so...
Linked Universe Update
the fandom really has weird fixation (all heil the mighty FROG !!!)
I like it when it’s all angst and shakespearian drama. (I look at you reference to TP horror cinematics).
Also love the character development of wild : went from feral twink to determined buff dude (look at his shoulders, look at his standup with the sunset behind him seriously. He’s so cool after a breakdown).
Can’t wait to see the next post.
Happy mention : Flora’s back (long haired it seems) and GOOD BOY DOGGO (also old, it gives the impression he has a beard).

I am currently laughing my ass off Legend's expressions. They're excellent.
And Wars calling Legend a young hero ? Like, I forgot that Legend was supposed to be younger. (Wars is also supposed to be broke but it seems he has been hiding his economies)
And Wind showing (again) how smart and perceptive he can be. I love when he is in the spotlight.
Four being 'salt and vinegar' with everyone. The stress isn't being nice to him (look at his scrunched eyebrows, he looks like a grumpy Legend).
I like this side of the heroes, where they stop fighting and start thinking.
And last but not least : BROTHERS (are we gonna have Dad Time ??)
Linked Universe Update
Twi is dying (and beautifully tired) but still alive (he has recovered his modesty with a shirt)
Legend : sooo... How're you doing ?
Twilight : not so good. I feel myself dying, I am... depressive (so much angst).
Time looks so sad and stressed and Warriors is just waiting for his friend inevitable death (look at his face, look at his resignation)
We got softy Legend crying, which is at the opposite of some characterization in some fanfics (I love big softy and broken Legend just as much as I love mean and badass Legend)
And I spot the Four moment in the next post because that look he gave Wild in the last panel must have some meaning !
I love the fact that Link is such a gremlin.
So much that he ends up being an important figure of the Yiga clan, knowing their secret techniques and everything.
I see him travelling, disguising himself as a Yiga and going to chat with them, even after the end of Ganondorf. He would be that supportive figure in the clan, not always there but listening to their struggles.
He would keep the charade up, much to Zelda's annoyance. (After all this time, he's gotten attached to them and their weekly assassination attempts).
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
And then, one day, the chain gets on this new Hyrule. It's vast, wild and destroyed but the people are welcoming and warm.
The groups gets into a stabble that have a bar. And while waiting for their drinks, they hear this group chatting (loudly complaining) about the hero.
After closer inspection, they hear them talking about killing the hero and how hard and difficult it is. They're whinning and crying in their drinks, recounting their attempts to another guy who seems sympathetic and give them advice between rounds of drinking.
It's a deeply uncomfortable conversation to witness for the heroes. Even more so because the guy gives good advice.
They see the conversation unfold with growing horror, until the assassins finish their drinks and leave the place, sure that they will get the hero next time.
The (very well informed) advisor remains and the chain is half tempted to go talk to him about the hero.
But before they can make up their mind, a charismatic woman enters.
She's blonde, with emerald eyes that blaze with fire, and brimming with exasperation as she approach the advisor at a brisk pace. He's unbothered, waving a hand and offering her a dumb grin as she gets near "Hey Zel'-"
"Don't 'Hey Zel' me you idiot. What were you thinking?!"
"I-"
"You have to stop encouraging those Yigas. They want to kill you !"
"Nah, they want to kill the hero. They like me, they look up to me for advice and everything. And they're nice drinking buddies."
"Link, the only reason they drink with you is because they haven't realised you're the hero they're trying to kill. One day, your luck will run out and you will get killed."
"But Zel, how can I leave them so sad and depressed ?"
The chain is dumbstruck.
That's their hero ? That guy that was giving assassination advice ?? For himself ???
They look as the Zelda and Link bicker like an old married couple while they ask themselves what kind of madman Hylia sent them.
(It turns out that that Wild is a wild, trigger-happy, bored gremlin that will launch itself at chaos.)
(The yigas are just entertainment. He's part of their clan and one of their best member)
Zelda is not amused
i forgot how fun he is to draw
smol leg doodle +ravio
this inspired me to doodle!
(i think she needs bigger armor tho tbh, huge shoulder pads, maybe a cape, and maybe scrap the skirt)
Sky's Zelda, Sun, was also training to be a knight. She wasn't just living there because her dad runs the academy.
So the Chain eventually hears of this and assumes that Sun would fight with a more light weapon such as a raiper. Something that fits the royals style of combat in nearly all of their eras.
Except that's not the case.
Sun shows up in a kit akin to the Old Man himself. Full plate with a zweihander, the blade being larger than herself.
To Sun, wisdom tells her that if you hit the monster hard enough, it won't get back up.
No wonder Sky is head over heels for her.
She's a Strength build, and "a crown is warranted with strength" - Godfry, First Elden Lord.
(Technically, she'd be a Strength/Int/Faith build to maintain the whole wisdom thing and worship of the Goddess, but that's beside the point.)
I DID IT!!I FIXED HER DESIGN!
they did my girl so dirty in the game
now i wanna redesign all the LU princesses but im stuck
do they have official nicknames?
drew a whimsical lil guy in class
Alright, as someone kind of new to the Zelda fandom, I have a question. So, I've seen people referring to a group of Links as a Chain, which is so cute and creative. But, I've really only seen this in regards to LU.
Chapter 12: RUB A DUB JUST RELAXIN IN THE TUB
^^ that's the AO3 link
“I have a proposition for you,” Wild says. Four and Sky calm their conversation to listen, along with everyone else. “Do you?” Prince waits, on his guard. “You have a lot of information we want to hear, namely some abilities, temperaments, and weaknesses of the other Darks and yourself.” Prince raises an eyebrow. “And once again, that's a lot of valuable information. What are you offering?” “I'm gonna bribe you,” Wild says, looking far too happy about it.
Additional spoiler art below the cut because I couldn't help myself, I'm having so FREAKING much fun.
Chapter 16 and 17: oh yeah. it's all coming together.
Guys this fic is over!! What the heck!! And also, look at that word count. Oh my gosh. EXACTLY 55k. Insane. Anyway.
