Downfall Duo's nightmare

I just wanted to draw the nightmares of Legend and Hyrule, but instead it turned out like this.

If you're confused about why Legend kissed Four, it's because he thought he was holding Marin's hand. And in his dream he is drowning and wants to kiss Marin before he dies.

I love the idea of Downfall Duo creating chaos in The Chain XD

Sorry if my tenses are wrong, but I hope you understand :D

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!!!!!! READ THIS!!!!! I LOVE IT SO DAMN MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! All the interactions are so accurate and the fucking carvings of wars slipping on a banana are comedy gold!!!!! Please go read it!!!

This was supposed to be a little drabble for four-eyed-nerd, who was chosen randomly during the Follower Raffle. But I'm a liar. So it's a whole damned oneshot instead. So much for promises.

Characters: Juniper (OC created by four-eyed-nerd, Warriors, Wild

Things have been strange with Wars lately.  Ever since they'd found out about Juniper's ancestry (and his unusually prevalent place within it), he'd been the most infuriating toss up of awkward avoidance and brooding cucco and Juniper was just about done with it. She respected him, truly she did, but for being so intelligent he sure had a way of putting his foot in his mouth.

Just because he was her grandfather (and wasn't that something) doesn't mean she wants to be his apprentice or some nonsense. He had his strengths and she had hers, and no amount of nitpicking or corrections was going to change that. She wasn't him.

At the time though, she hadn't known how to brooch the topic. Usually so willing to voice her grievances and set boundaries (her gerudo blood, perhaps? her hero's spirit?), it had caught herself off guard just how much his opinion mattered to her. Partially because of their revelation, yes, but also because of just how much she admired him.

He was just-

He was just so confident. Self-assured in a way she struggled to be, elegant and cultured too. Intelligent and frighteningly strong, well spoken and educated. Handsome and connected. Respected by the group (though he often bickered with Legend and Twilight). He even had Time's ear.

There was just so much to admire. So much to live up to, and she just-

She couldn't be him, no matter what he expected of her. The shoe didn't fit and she doubted it ever would. He might have been her grandfather, but they were not woven from the same cloth.

So here she was (fresh out of a tense argument with that very man) hiding behind some outcropping of boulders with Wild (like some sulking teenager) while Time talked Wars down. Scratching pictures and anxiety fueled nonsense into the aged stone only did so much though, so she began picking at her split ends with dust covered fingers instead.

A hand grabbed at her wrist, pulling it away from her now tangled, dirty hair. She yanked her wrist out of their grasp without thought.

"For fuck's sake! It's just damn hair!" Juniper snapped in frustration, turning to the interloper with a tense frown.

Wild just leveled her with an unimpressed stare as he pulled his hand away from where it'd been hoovering, but the downward angle of his ears gave away his hurt. As did the slight tensing of his shoulders.

She immediately felt regret for her loss of patience. All the progress they've made, and this is what starts the backwards slide.

Hell no.

"Look, Wild. I'm sorry. I'm just really fucking tense. I didn't mean to snap at you like that." Juniper apologized, struggling to keep eye contact while he looked so- betrayed.

At her words though he softened, nodding in acceptance before pointing at her doodles. The curious upward flick of his ears was like a balm on her heart.

"It's Wars...slipping on a banana." Wild snorted, eyes alight with mischief (and promise). "Hey! I was mad, okay? It's not like I actually want him to fall on his ass."

"Not even a little, huh?" A familiar voice spoke from behind them, startling the pair. Wild had nearly reached for a weapon, but thankfully caught himself.

Juniper looked up at Wars, wanting to fade away into the rocks behind her but also too upset still to think of backing down. Though she also wanted things to be okay between them, and less awkward. Honestly, she was just a mess right now.

War's eyes flickered to Wild's for a moment, assessing. Surprisingly, he seemed to find what he needed in the way Wild frowned, dug his boots into the grass below and crossed his arms impatiently. Protective as always.

"No need to get testy, Wild. I'm not going to ask you to leave." Wild snorted, as though amused Wars thought he'd have abided by the order even if it had been given.

"Wild." Juniper said, grateful for her friend's unflinching support, but also not wanting to be the cause of bad blood between the men. Wild was just too damned loyal sometimes.

Wild side-eyed his red haired friend unhappily, but backed down, leaning against the boulders behind them. Still watching like a silent predator, but willing to take the support role for this one.

An awkward moment of silence.

"I wanted-"

"What do you-"

Silence again. Warriors cleared his throat, readjusting his scarf in a practiced motion, body language far too relaxed for the way his eyes wavered with uncertainty.

Even his fidgiting was smooth and elegant. It was so unfair.

"I wanted to apologize for my behavior recently." He began, face very carefully passive. "I have been- unfairly strict with you, Juniper."

Juniper felt almost- shocked maybe? Validated? She wasn't sure, but her heart ached as Wars continued.

"I- I know I wasn't there in your life. You have no reason to listen to me, and I know I've overstepped my place as your comman- comrade multiple times now. I know that, and I'll make no excuses for myself. It was my own selfishness that led to where we are now." He paused, pointedly not looking at Wild who was watching him like a coiled snake.

"I'm sorry, Juniper. You're your own person and I have no right to criticize you for who you've become." Juniper felt her heart flutter, relieved and touched and suddenly, unexpectantly, sad. "I'll do my utmost to remember that."

Silence once more. Awkward as it's ever been between the both of them. Wild's eyes flicked between the two, just as awkward in this stilted atmosphere.

Wars nodded his head, suddenly looking unsure now but trying to hide it with pleasantries. "That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for your time." Then he turned to leave, ears red and lower face tucked into his scarf.

"Wars. Wait." The red haired woman said, voice fighting passed the swell of her throat.

The man paused midstep, turning back to her. He was composed now, quick on the recovery as ever.

Wild looked to her too, curious and confused.

"I'm sorry too." The unreadable passivity of War's face was unnerving (it always had been), but Juniper pushed through. "Not everything you've tried to teach me has been unreasonable. Actually, most of it has been damned helpful." Juniper went for her hair again, but remembered how Wild disliked when she damaged it.

The woman took a moment to gather herself, and Warriors was kind enough to let her. Even if now he still looked a little lost. Maybe a little hopeful too. "I don't want you to stop teaching me things." That was the last thing Juniper wanted. "I just- don't want to constantly feel like I've failed you." She looked down, unsure of how to continue.

Arms were around her then, warm and strong but also so incredibly tender. It was almost enough to pull a sob from her.

"You've never failed me, Juniper." Wars said, with such strong conviction in his voice it made the woman's eyes sting. "I'm sorry I made you feel that way." She lost the fight to maintain her composure, hiding her face in his scarf.

"I'm proud of who you've become." She sobbed harder and he held her tighter, speaking into her hair. "I'm glad you were born. I'm so blessed to have met you."

Wild quietly slipped away then, certain now that things would be alright between them. Eventually.

They just needed time.

I must now return to the shadows to rest again.

Warriors as the hero of minish

Misplaced heros au

I don't have much to say about him but he is very different than four.

Twilight as the hero of warriors

Saw something similar to this before but I can't remember where :(

Why does 4 have the four sword in the misplaced heroes au. I think the whole point of the hero of the four sword was that they had the four sword. So I feel like Four still having the four sword in the au doesn't really change anything? And it'd be fun to see the four sword represented by someone else and having *them* have the 4 personalities since that mainly is the whole point of that game and lore. I dont wanna seem like I'm hating it just confuses me. Since Time can't go back in time and stuff since he doesn't have the ocarina. And Twi can't be animal. So why does Four have the four sword?

I could see why you're confused and i'll happily explain :> first off is why did four pull the four sword in the first place in the original game? Well He pulled it because shadow link tricked him into releasing vaati ( and four did know that the sword was a seal when he pulled it.) Thus the start of his adventure as four people.

I made warriors take fours spot as the hero of that time, and before four swords was the minish cap too.

Here's the thing, that's what 'four did in that situation. He fell for the trick. Since Warriors is now the hero I thought about what he would do in fours situation. I think he wouldn't fall for the trick and he would instead think more logically about it. You gotta remember that warriors is a "captain" and he still has that trait, he can think under pressure.

Since he never pulled the four sword it stayed in its pedestal and Warriors went to find the sword of legend aka the master sword. That does mean that his second adventure is vastly different but in the end the dark mirror does end up breaking and he defeats ganon. I dont think it's really necessary to explain his second adventure in detail right now.

Moving onto how four (the hero of legend) got the four sword. The GPA, A Link To The Past also includes the palace of the four sword located in the dark world. there you'll find four dark links to fight. But since the sword has never split anyone before, there wouldn't be any Darks to fight thus the palace is still protected in light world magic (cause of the seal.)

Fours also smaller then the master sword, so he wouldn't even be able to carry it, and his second best option would be the four sword. Since the dark mirror is long gone at this point vaati wouldn't be very powerful. So he should be easy to deal with.

Pretty much the whole point of four still having the four sword is for angst and he can't carry the master sword. It also makes warriors character more unique since he's now just the hero of the minish.

It Would be interesting to see warriors get split but to me it feels to similar to four. I don't want them to be to similar and I thought this would be interesting for their characters.

The dialog is underneath

Warriors: since the sailor is asleep and the old man is patrolling, why don't we talk about the ladies that have caught your guys eyes recently, you know, to pass the time.

Twilight: is that really necessary

Warriors: lighten up rancher, I'm sure some of the others are also curious. Sky is their anyone you've been into lately?

Sky: oh well, I do have a girlfriend...

four: wait, really?

Sky: Its actually Zelda, she's the light of my world and I love her so much.

Twilight: thats really sweet sky

Sky: yeah she is, how about you cook? Anyone that you like?

Wild: oh, well... no

Wild: what about the veteran, their must be someone who has been able to make him go soft

Legend: no.

Warriors: stop being so grumpy all the time, anyways What about you smithy? Are you with zelda?

Four: uh no, not Zelda.

Warriors: so there is a lady

Four: not recently but there was someone...

Wild: what was she like? If you don't mind talking about it

Four: hmm, they were quite smart surprisingly. They were adorable and I hold dear all those treasured moments. We were two sides of a coin. Never meant to be but I guess they thought I was worth all the trouble. I mean, they spent a whole day setting up a room just to be dramatic!

Sky: aw, sounds like she was lovely

Four: yeah, he was

Four: I-uh I mean...

Warriors: what else did he do?

Wild: none of us here would judge you for liking a guy smithy.

Sky: if there is someone who has a problem with it. Then they can come talk to me about it

Four: thanks, I didn't really expect anyone to stay around me if they knew, well liking the same gender isn't exactly welcomed

Legend: if it makes you feel better shorty, I actually like both.

Wild: you could do that?

Warriors: thats sweet but what about you traveler. You've been awfully quiet. You don't have a problem with it? Do You.

Hyrule: oh-uh, no. Its just. It got me thinking, I don't. I dont want a relationship or anything like that. I've never felt that way towards anyone before and just the idea... I don't find it all to appealing.

Twilight: there's a word for it.

Hyrule: ?

Twilight: Your asexual. Its when you don't have sexual feelings towards others.

Not exactly how I draw some of them but eh

Modern clothes

Discord art from a while back a

I'm so in love with your interpretation of Wars! The eye shadow makes him such a girl boss.

Am I extremely late? Yes

But heres a new line up of links! All the sketches were done in October but I only got the time and energy to do the cleanup and colors lately

Wanted to try out a more characteristic style

Made some Linked Universe reference sheets. tried my best including important characteristics and parts of a character people may have issues drawing. These are just a few things I think of to help myself while drawing them. What's helpful for me may not be for someone else.

Doodle dump

@nebulapaws gift from the annual gift exchange this year! Featuring spirit tracks

Hello! May I request a drawing of four but with a turnip hair style please? I’ve seen others do it, but I would love to see it in your style!

sometimes, life picks favourites. lol ty for the request!

Daily life. Shenanigans. A branch to most is a tree to Four. There WILL be tree in the food today, sorry.

I would love to see more done with the fact that unlike the other heroes, Warriors has none of that general quest experience.

Oh he’s fought monsters alright, he’s got experience in commanding troops and planning battle strategies that the others lack, but he’s never done a proper dungeon, he’s never had to do a fetch quest, he’s never even had to climb death mountain or deal with the water temple shenanigans!

I simply think it would be fun to watch all of the others (during the war or with the Chain) talking about similarities between their quests and all the weird, dangerous crap they’ve had to do and then there’s just Wars on the side being totally flabbergasted.

Mask: *explaining how he got the Biggoron Sword*

Warriors: And you did this why?

Mask: I was bored.

Tune: Plus, why not?

Wars:

As of July 7th, 2024, THIS IS NOW (basically) CANON! FUCK YEAH BABY!!!!

Absolutely adoring how the chain seems to have assigned big brother little brother pairings for all of the minors:

Legend who is making sure Hyrule doesn’t overuse his magic and exhaust himself

Warriors who is constantly scruffing Wind to make sure he doesn’t do something stupid

And Twilight who is trying to stop Wild from yeeting himself off the nearest cliff and failing miserably

Peak sibling behavior

look at them they’re happy

(they may be making fun of fours height but still)
