Links Meet Au - Tumblr Posts

Idea! Create a new member for the Chain, but this Link is based off of you and your personality and backstory (if you wanna add that).

What would your Link be like?

And I promise that All of these spots have a special meaning to the story.(she also try’s to kill them in the woods at first just letting you know)

would anyone be interested if i posted my links meet au

clover from @chains-of-time !! definetely one of my favorite designs ^^ + extra minish clover lol

Drew Vet from @deuynndoodles' links meet au :-] I like her design sooo much

(OUTDATED LOLLLL here's the updated refs)

everyone say hello to the trilogy au!! it takes place during botw; hylia decides that the new hero will need help in their journey, and after seeing their care for animals, she sends two animal heroes to join the fight.

individual refs!

would anyone be interested if i posted my links meet au

translation from merspeak:

"dear friend...

across the river,

my hands...

are cold and bare."

I realized that I’ve never drawn Cryptid Legend (“Hylian” form) in color.

… oops.

Well here you go!! These two have my whole heart. I’ve been thinking a lot about them recently. The beloved.

Prologue

Next -> [coming soon]

we need more speedrunning references in links meet aus. like, imagine the hero of the wild performing a wind bomb randomly when the group needs to get somewhere. the hero of twilight picks up a rupee and over the next few panels he slowly moves to the left. the hero of winds needs to cross a large body of water with no boat so he just performs superswim. the hero of time is always carrying hot spring water on him, and when asked why, he performs bottle adventure. the possibilities

i finally. made their refs. if anyone remembers this au

they're also on artfight !!

rabbit - dragon - wolf

Link lineup ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ (most of them don’t have names yet, except bunny and wolf lol)

Honestly this is extremely rough, there’s more detail in their designs usually. Drawing 9 links just felt like someone ran me over with a van,,,,

Honestly again, these are prone to change,,,, And say hello to hero of men link, who is mc links grandpa (yipeee!)

I’ll try and go through some asks later today maybe

列車は月へ行ったりもしない

(translation: Trains don't go to the moon)

Happy Halloween!! (early, i really wanted to post this) (will reblog on halloween)

/With the moon being really sus, i think there's a good goddamn reason trains dont go to the moon lol. this sketch is taken from the 1:17 frame of tricot's Melon Soda MV. It's a very math rock song so having Snails and Oft here is so fucking perfect---- Track is there because "train", that said 1:17 is a bit early for that lyric to come up lol-

detailed id under the cut

<image d: From left to right, Snails, Track and Oft are standing and facing the camera. Snails and Oft are holding a photo, with Snails holding a photo of Majora's Mask creepy moon, while Oft is tearing his own photo of a red blood moon. Instead of using two hands like in the MV, Oft is using his armpit and left hand to tear it apart. Track looks like he's singing, with his mouth matching the MV. Behind them there are nondescript shelves, but on the top shelf there are Lon Lon milk jars placed. /End id>

Thank you for one year!!!

On September 25th, 2023, I posted the original character sheets for the Chain as Cryptids au. It had been a brainworm for much longer than that, but one year ago today, I mustered up the courage to share my silly little ideas. And I think that might have been the best thing that’s ever happened to me!

Over the course of this past year, I have found so much joy in these little guys. Looking back at the oldest CAC posts, I’m really proud of how my art has improved, I feel more comfortable sharing my stories, and I have made some of my closest friends. So to everyone who’s stuck around for this year and everyone that’s come more recently, thank you so much for allowing me to create! This has meant the world to me.

I will be taking CAC art requests to celibrate, but I’m going to be very real with you guys- Echoes of Wisdom comes out tomorrow. Please be patient with me if it takes me a while to draw haha. I fully intend to be sucked headfirst into that game!

So if you have a request, please send it in an ask so I can respond to it directly! I’ll pick as many as I can and I’ll draw them as soon as I have the time!

o7

Why is it that every single time I'm about to have zero free time I get creative motivation back? Anyways, already working on the next chapter of "Avoiding conflict is conflictive" and the second draft of the next two pages for the culture shock au already done ^^

Will I finish in time for this Friday? Guess we'll know in three days

Not exactly, Wind, tho Spirit at least keeps the little guy entertained

Concept: Part 1 || Part 2

I'm gonna try to do inktober this year! No promises but this is day 1:backpack

Day 5 - Sacred

By the time I learned anything about Spirit Tracks, I had been a Zelda fan for years, and even so, hearing the Sacred Duet for the first time blew me away. I don’t think I’ll ever be over it.

Apparently no matter how many people complain about it the message just doesn't get through. So here's one last ditch effort to try and help people understand. I would appreciate it if the Linkverse communities spread this around.

Younger fandom members, newer fandom members and LoZ Tumblr newbies listen up!

Linked Universe is a Zelda AU created by Jojo56830. It has its own fandom surrounding the comic Jojo makes and is an entirely self-contained Zelda sub-fandom.

Linked Universe is NOT the catch-all name for every single AU involving the Links being grouped together.

Most people in the fandom refer to these AUs as "Linkverses" or "Links meet AUs", but they can simply just be called Zelda AUs.

Why does this distinction matter? Because tons of creators who also have their own Linkverse AUs repeatedly and often get their works tagged as "Linked Universe" by people reblogging their art.

This, plain and simple, is discouraging and disrespectful. These creators are trying to make their own projects and have undoubtedly done a lot of work to make their ideas distinct and unique. To tag their work as LU forcefully groups their work in with an unrelated AU, simply because both AUs share the same basic concept. Not to mention, it muddies the water and makes it harder for people to recognise these AUs as being distinctive at first glance.

That being said, I understand it can be confusing to tell which AUs are their own separate entity and which AUs (of AUs) are attached to Linked Universe.

As a general rule of thumb, posts that are not tagged as LU should not be tagged as LU (to see the original tags click on the poster's username). But if after that you are still confused, ask someone. Please PLEASE do not make assumptions. You have no idea how much those assumptions might hurt the artist or might cause them to outright block you.

So TLDR

Linked Universe is a story about Links meeting.

But not every story about Links meeting is Linked Universe.

Stop tagging every Link's meet AU you see with Linked Universe tags, because it's getting ridiculous at this point.
