last room - next room
I have more lore and stuff later on but now I'm just drawing him.
LETS GOOO!!!
So...uh I made myself an official Spirit Tracks Wars design for my fic I have on Ao3. It's called "We meet at Wars and again as Spirts" I uh, I wasn't really that creative with the title, I regret having long ass titles for my fic. Um, you can read it if you want, it's uh incomplete updates are inconsistent because I'm working on another series and Whumptober at the same time, maybe updates will be consistent after a while? Probably not though, I have another chapter in my drafts, but that's not important. It's my blorobo Spirit Track Wars!
It hadn’t been a particularly exhausting journey, no, but they had decided to stay at an inn for a night or two anyways. Long enough to gather information and rest, but not long enough as to waste time.
Legend taps the table with his fingers, eyes flicking between an all-too eager Captain, an amused old man, and the growing anticipation from the rest of the group.
“…fine. One song, but that’s it!” he declares, getting up from his seat. — Or: everybody goads Legend into playing the piano and everyone ends up having a good time.

First Linked Universe fic!! :0 i hope y’all like it
wrote it while taking a break from drawing a new comic so yall can have some hashtag content
(characters and setting belong to @linkeduniverse or @jojo56830!!)
"Heads up!" a voice yelled, causing all eight of them to look up towards the cloaked figure in a tree. An arrow embedded itself between a bokoblin's eyes, effectively killing it. The mysterious hylian then jumped down, landing on another bokoblin, crushing it, and immediately moved to engulf a moblin in flames. In less than a minute, the remaining monsters were all dead.
This was the first hylian they'd seen since arriving in this desolate Hyrule.
"Y’all good? No injuries?" Closer up they could see a freckled nose and a small grin, but the shadow of the cloak’s hood covered the strangers eyes.
"Other than a few bruises and scrapes, nope." Time answered for the group.
"Neat. Have some chunks- just in case." the stranger said, tossing a bag over to him. "Crush them in your hand and sprinkle it over injuries. Or just eat 'em. Whichever is easier." Having said that, he turned and left to pluck his arrow from the bokoblin.
"Hey wait, what's your name? Where's the nearest town? We haven't seen anyone for ages!" Wind rushed to get it all out before the stranger could leave. He turned around, putting the arrow back in his quiver.
"The name's Fay. And I think the nearest town is about two days to the south."
~
Link, who goes by Fay nowadays, would very much like to go home, re-bandage his leg, and go to sleep. Alas, sleep is unavailable, as he needs to stop the deaths of some odd travelers who somehow have no clue where they are. Isn't it common sense to only go on these types of roads if you’re well prepared and know what you're doing? Apparently not.
He finally shook them off after giving directions to the nearest town and heading in the opposite direction. Or so he thought…
Three days later, he came across another monster camp. That wasn’t unusual. The monsters were a bit tougher and had black blood. That was unusual. Fay defeated them all the same with a sword, fire, and some lightning.
Which was when the odd group showed up. Again.
"Hello again! I thought you went a different direction than us." the white-caped one spoke up.
"You weren't following us, were you?" the blue-scarved one asked with narrowed eyes.
Fay flicked the black blood off his sword before sheathing it. It seemed to catch the attention of quite a few. "I was, but now I'm here. I’m a traveler.”
The one with a wolf’s pelt blinked, processing that, then glanced at the one with one eye. “We went to the village, but they wouldn't let us in. Something about eyes?”
Fay shrugged, “It happens. People are often spread thin on resources and wary of newcomers. The eyes of Ganon are everywhere after all.”
Before any of them could reply he tilted his head, starting to feel a strange tug on his magic. A dark purple and black portal opened beneath their feet, slurping them all up.

Chunks/ කෑලි (kǣli): crystalized fairy dust. It has a similar Mohs to chalk. The fairies don't have to leave their fountains spending days in a bottle, and hylians don't have to spare precious resources. "Why can't you just eat the chunks? Isn't that the obviously easier option?" you may ask. Well, if you eat the chunk, the effect will be equally spread about. The chunk doesn't know what the fuck you want it to do. if you crush and sprinkle it over an injury, the effects will be stronger and targeted to that one area.

♤♡♧◇
the thing this somewhat goes with but you don't have to read: FaeHyrule-1
♤♡♧◇
♤♡♧◇ This is part two of FaeHyrule-1. Please read that before this. Or don't. ♤♡♧◇
“Ew. Sticky.” The voice of Fay drifted like an omen after being suddenly dropped like a hot potato into another Hyrule.
“Huh?” came the ever so elegant response.
It was weird a non-link was portaled with them. This never happened before.
A moment of confused and awkward silence passed before clarification came. "The surrounding magic: it’s sticky."
This was the answer to the question verbalized, but not the one they all had. Ordon stretched on around them, the eerie lull of night settling in on the heroes.
Twilight began to move and the others followed. All except Fay, who vanished without a sound before they could do a head count.
~
After setting up camp, Fay emerged. He looked slightly uncomfortable as he brushed off seemingly nothing from his tunic and pants and slowly sat to a croutch.
“I suppose it makes sense that you feel so sticky now.” Fay commented, staring right at Twilight.
“Umm… What?”
“What do you mean he feels sticky?” Legend inquired, “If anything I’d say he feels dusty from all the dirt and that pelt, but not sticky.”
“It's the magic. In the air, the ground, the plants, even in Twilight himself. It feels sticky and seems to leave a bit of residue on whatever it touches. It almost feels like eating too much කැරමල් … err, caramel…?”
Wild looked up from his boiling pot at whatever language seemed to resonate and ring in Legend’s head. Four tilted his head with a gleam in his eyes, and Time might’ve reacted based on a small twitch of his hand, but none of the others seemed to react.
“So, “ Fay spoke once more, “Can I have your names? And a possible explanation for this… kerfuffle?”
The chain all looked at each other, then zeroed in on Sky. To his credit, said hero did nothing but blink.
“Oh! Yes, of course! I’m Sky, that's Time, Twilight, Wild, Warriors, Legend, Four and Wind” Sky introduced, pointing to each as he said their names.
Fay expected the tethers of given names, that small twist of magic emulating small candlelights of lifeforce, indicating he now held a thread connected to that person’s existence. What he didn’t expect was how bright and strong the flames would be, not that he'd do anything with them.
“Although, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you those are just nicknames.”
Fay hummed in interest, wondering what made nicknames so powerful, and turned to fully face Sky. The other brought his fancy sword from beside him and onto his lap.
“We’re actually all named Link, “ Sky continued, “Reincarnations of the hero’s spirit from across time. We all fought to save our lands, some of us more than once, but this is the first time we’re doing it as a group. Our current theory as to why we were all gathered is because Hylia needs us all to fight off some big, horrible evil. Though the only evidence we’ve got of that evil are the black-blooded monsters.” Sky seemed saddened by their lack of progress, but tried to hide it with a pleasant topic change.
“Enough about us, care to share anything interesting about yourself?”
Fay hummed, “Well I suppose it's only fair if we trade. I was also originally called Link. I do prefer Fay though. It’s been my name since I met Pond mother. Link never really quite fit.”
“Umm, ” Sky stammers, not sure what, if anything, to say to that. “Okay,” he settles for, the word coming out a bit hollow-sounding.
“So why Fay?” Wind, ever the conversationalist, steamrolls on through the others’ momentary social glitch.
“It’s easier to slip under the radar with. I don’t remember much being Link but sacred sunlight above do you know how worked up people got when they would hear my name? It’s like no one could decide whether I was a plague personified sent by their demons or a god of life that came to rid the world of all inconveniences.”
“Rude” sniffs Wind in a comical and overdramatic charade. Though with a blink, Wind’s face fell into shock.
“Wait! Link!? You’re a Link! Holy fuck no wonder!”
A small, pitiful “language…” came from Twilight. His voice was snuffed out by Wind’s jubilated rambling, though a snort and a couple huffs let him know he was, in fact, heard.
“So I’m guessing we don’t need the whole Fi ceremony?” Warriors joked.
“Good thing too, ” Sky said back in a more exasperated tone than Warriors would expect, “‘Cuz his hero title is Hero of Hyrule and I think that’s just a disaster waiting to happen.”
♤♡♧◇ Plot? What plot? I was supposed to have one of those? And be consistent? Huh? Anywho, my focus is on Hyrule being a fae, not a cohesive world. Juggling all nine of ‘em is hard, blink and you'll miss it time and four. Note: Fae language is google translated Sinhala, it's not accurate or exact in what I want to say. Sorry, it's just pretty. ♤♡♧◇ Kudos to my sister who beta read and helped me get words outa my brain. <3
hold on! I'm putting my two brainrots, genshin and lu, in a blender! bthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthpbthp 👁👁
k now imagine this as some sort of book given to the chain:
Ancient Teyvat History
Long ago the kingdom known as Hyrule broke into the seven nations we know today. The three goddesses who rule over Celestia– Din, Nayru, and Farore– created the Archons. Semi-immortal beings granted a seat on the elemental thrones, and a Gnosis to rule their nations with.
Anemo, Geo Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro, and Cryo. Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya.
Now, the Triforce is still present in our current world, but it has faded. Perhaps been hidden, if you will. Gannon is no longer a threat. The sacred name of Zelda is not passed down, as the royal family is no longer about. The Hero needs not arise. We unfortunately do not have much information on The Heros, no names, no mention of family or home have been mentioned in the records. But it is undeniable the link they have to the Triforce of courage, their adventures forever remembered.
Four Thoughts
obligatory his eyes change color hc
Four talks to himself in minish, so no one can snoop. (except for, well, the minish, but he doesn't care cause they're nice)
the way the colors originally split: Red is positive emotions, Blue is negative emotions, Vio is logical hard facts intelligence, Green is nuanced people intelligence.
but that's not their entire personalities. blue is also determination :)
Yo what if their sword could kinda shapeshift for each of the colors?
Red: Shinobu’s sword from demon slayer
Blue: Antarcticite’s sword from lotl
Vio: pure nail from hollow knight
Green: Alhaithem’s sword from genshin impact
and ofc, they also all use the base version of the sword and their other preferred weapons.
oh! oh! what if two colors piloting means dual blades?? like Lady Maria from bloodborne! or Zuko from atla!
Revivaln't
Wow, villains can sure talk. It's been- uhhh
Seven minutes.
Thanks Vio. Seven minutes that Dinky Bitch here has been monologuing. Much too long. Please get to the point good sir-
He is nowhere near good.
Tolerable s-
Still no.
Sir.
…
Fucker.
pfft-
"And well.. I have the means to bring your dear shadow back from the dead."
Four zoned back in at that line with a slow, slow blink.
Four sighed.
He took out his journal and pen.
Opened to the second page, as the first was full, and made a single tally mark.
Closed his book with a snap, and put it away.
All without breaking eye contact.
"283."
If Dark Link could, he'd be sweating buckets. He twitched at every sound and actually flinched when four talked.
"That's how many times I've been offered such a ridiculous thing."
Off to the side, seemingly from the ground, muffled laughter could be heard. A being emerged from Four's shadow.
"Dude!" Shadow said, then almost broke into cackles, "I'm right here! Been here for a while now!"
♤♡♧◇
this has been sitting in my docs collecting dust for a while now. It feels incomplete and i wanna do more with it, but... the brain juices ain't flowin. If anyone wants to continue it, go right ahead.
caverule design!
here's my reference drawing of the caverule design! I've drawn other versions for when he gets new outfits/changes happen, so keep an eye out for that, whenever the fic gets to that point! (also yes he has digitigrade legs :D) Fanfic is HERE:
(you don't get to) go through hell and come out safe
caverule's first dinner with the chain ft wars and time!!!!
(i used my wars design as well)
(i forgot caverule's fawn markings im losing my Mind (oops))
(from my fic "(you don't get to) go through hell and come out safe")
Not exactly, Wind, tho Spirit at least keeps the little guy entertained
Concept: Part 1 || Part 2
Sleep Deprived Linked Universe Au concept that I think could be neat, everything is the same but the Chain or a Chain Member (Wild, Sky or otherwise) is like the Sky Children/Moths in Sky Children of the Light. Or where we drop one of the children of light or a moth with the Chain as a substitute for therapy which I really think they could use.
Or secondary Sleep Deprived LoZ/LU Au concept: everything is the same, but either one of the Chain members is like the Vessels in HK, or we straight up drop the Pure Vessel in BOTW when Link/Wild emerges from his 100 year power nap (goodness I wish that were me) after having his brain scrambled like an omelette and they and Link unwittingly imprint on each other and adopt one another as found family, which helps them deal with their respective traumas, bonus points if Wolfie/Twilight/TP Link is also there and unwittingly part of the found family, and if it bleeds over into LU the Chain has to suddenly cope with the fact this eldritch bug being from another world entirely meant to be a vessel for a maddened deity basically adopted one o their own as a sibling. Could also somehow throw Ghost or Hornet in there later on.
I will not elaborate further.
LU x TOTK Au Concept: Everything is the same but after Wild gets briefly snatched into his second quest (with or no forewarning whatsoever, jury's out choice wise), the gang shows up again in his Hyrule so he can join them on The Hunt For The Shadow™ again after Divine Intervention Made Them Do It© and they come in just in time to witness the absolute Insanity that was the final battle briefly reestablishing that Oh Yeah Wild is Still Feral and Kind of Unhinged (Positive) and Our Beloved Cub but now slightly more terrifying strength wise. Also brief Sun and Flora meeting where they immediately clock each other with the Same Hat vibes and no one can tell what's up with that.
If you know you know I ain't spoiling nothing.
*is rereading the Four Swords Adventures Manga again to refresh self after replaying Pocket Mirror (RPG Maker Game)*
*Almost drops coffee* Oh holy Hylia. Enjel and Shadow could talk.
Created by the person who's basically the main antagonist? Check.
Fifth secret part out of a protagonist split into four? Check.
Is forced to follow after the protagonist in shadow/reflection like fashion and hates every second of it to the point they're willing to lie and manipulate to take their place? Check.
Wants that specifically because they're jealous and never were love or wanted in their life, so they desperately want someone, anyone to look at them like they're worth something, no matter what they have to do for it desperately craving the love they've seen someone else get even if it's not real because they've just taken over/are pretending to be that person? Check.
Dies tragically due to shattering? Sometimes only getting the care they've wanted through that death after being swayed into not fulfilling their original purpose and returning to the protagonist? Triple check.
That or it's the sleep deprivation making me see parallels between two artificial beings created from the shadow of the protagonist and has a strong association with mirrors.
... Now I want a Zelda/Linked Universe Pocket Mirror Au, with Four/Four Swords Link as the protagonist (or Green as the protag) and Shadow in Enjel's role, or maybe Lisette's (though I feel Blue or Vio would be better for Lisette), Vaati can be the Pumpkin King he's dramatic enough for it, though I dunno which colors would best fit Fleta and Harpae. Maybe Link's Father or Dot made the deal this run around? I can absolutely see Shadow describing Four as "Mr.Goody Two Shoes" through a mirror, or any of the endings being played out by them.
Something something Linked Universe Wolf's Rain Au
I mean we already have Wolfie and The Golden Wolf in the Hero's Shade/Time, may as well go all the way for maximum angst.
Wonder who would be the Flower Maiden tho.
Rahhh!!! I'm so glad you like it!!!!
Okay hear me out…
