(art cred @/linkeduniverse)

I changed my mind, and decided to que this up immediately after posting the first one. I won't be home when you see this because I'm attending a funeral, but tell me what you think of it and I will see you when I get home!

Note: this was made on Google docs mobile, so when I get a chance I will actually use tab instead of just paragraphs.

"Wars, you said you knew the area!"

"I thought I did, but this is sure as hell not the same way I remember! Those ruins we passed back there? Those are completely new to me! This forest? I don't even recognize half of these plants! We should have reached a town hours ago!"

"Hey, stop fighting, you two, or-"

The group Link had been following for the last few hours came to a halt as the one with pink-tipped hair argued with the one with a blue scarf. He couldn't tell if they were a threat yet, they just seemed like lost travelers. Then again, that was the main way the Yiga clan tried to trick him. 

Pinky and Wars kept arguing, until finally the smallest one in rainbow colors seemed to snap. "How about we admit it. We are lost, and just happened to find something that reminded Wars of home. It was NOONE's fault, because we ignored the obvious signs something was wrong. Now, we are lost in the middle of a forest, and unless you have an idea of what we should do, then SHUT UP!"

The group all seemed shocked by his outburst, Link and the rainbow included, and once they all seemed to get over it, the kid apologized. "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell."

The oldest one, probably the leader, said, "No, it's ok. Today has been a long day, and everyone seems on edge. Perhaps we should set up camp early, does that sound good to everyone?"

The group nodded collectively, and started to set up in the clearing that could barely fit all of them. The one in a green tunic and no pants volunteered for the night's first watch, and while it wouldn't be for a while, they seemed relaxed a bit more by the fact someone was willing to do it. 

Link, who had been hiding a good distance away from them, stood up. He got a stealth potion that would last him a few hours at least ready, then decided he would investigate that night.

As the sun set, an awful smell enveloped the forest. "Legend, what did you do?!"

"I don't know! It was fine a minute ago!"

"It's smoking! How did you burn SOUP of all things?!"

"I didn't burn it, it just got too hot!"

"Because you ****ed up, Legend! That's literally how things burn up!"

"Wind, watch your mouth."

Link had just come back from following the path the group of strangers had taken, looking to see if they dropped anything interesting, when he heard the commotion. It smelled like burning hair or that one shrine he had found with the awful cook. Maybe they were cousins? 

As Link got closer to get a better look, he saw four people standing around a large cooking pot with a brown/green liquid with chunks in it. Pathetic. Are all of them as bad cooks as that one? Link was amazed they had survived however long they had been traveling. 

Pinkey poked the 'soup' with a wooden ladle. "It's still edible, look, the vegetables seem cooked enough."

 "With all due respect, I don't know if I would want to eat that," the kid in a blue shirt said with a grimace. "I don't know if anyone else would either."

The old one took the ladle and used it to try a small sip of what they were calling a soup, and his face scrunched up immediately. 

"Uh, Time?" The blue kid tapped the man's shoulder. 

The man swallowed the drink, coughed, then said, "It is… certainly better than last time."

A few of the others gave their opinions, from encouraging to neutral, before deciding it was better than nothing. 

None of them looked that happy about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After what theoretically could have been called dinner, the one in the green tunic, which Link had identified as being named "Hyrule," started circling around the camp, gradually making them larger and larger before returning close and starting again. Near the middle of the third round, Link drank his stealth potion and snuck into the campsite. 

There was a young adult in tan with a tall belt, there was a boy in blue(wind), there was a kid in rainbow, there was a young adult with a wolf pelt on his shoulders, still on in his sleep for some reason, there was one in red with pink hair tips(legend), and then there was the leader. Link got a good look at him. He had a fancy set of armour, a big sword, a bad eye, but the strangest thing was he had familiar markings covering his face. They were almost the same… 

As the ones Link saw in nearly every mirror, looking right back at himself. 

"Time?"

Link turned towards the voice to see the one called Hyrule looking at him. He had to play this right. "Yes?"

"Oh, thank the goddess. What are you up to?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I was going to see if you wanted off early." This was dangerous. If he realized the real Time was sleeping soundly next to him, he would wake up all the others, and then he'd have eight grumpy travelers armed to the teeth on his trail in seconds. 

"You sure that's ok with you?"

"Yes, get some rest."

"Thanks, Time," the boy said with a smile. "I will."

Link somewhat directed Hyrule towards the opposite side of where Time was. He was extremely lucky the fire was ruining the boy's night vision. 

"Time?"

Link stopped and turned his head a bit. "Yeah?"

There was a pause. "Thank you for being here for us."

Link smiled. "You don't have to mention it," mimicking the somewhat fancy way he had heard Time use words. "Goodnight."

Hyrule mumbled it back, seemingly exhausted from the travel. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Hyrule woke up feeling well rested. The birds were singing a song only they knew, the trees provided shade from the early morning sun, the wind rustled leaves and bushes softly, and a nice smell emanated from the cooking pot. 

Wait, did someone cook something edible? Hyrule shot up, feeling excited to see what had made someone unlock their inner cook. 

"Hey, mornin, Hyrule!" 

"Goodmorning, Wind! What's cooking?"

Wind was grinning like an idiot. "No idea, but none of us made it, that's for sure! Four woke up and saw it cooking, then woke up the rest of us, except for you and sky. Time says you didn't wake him up for his shift, so we thought you could use some re-"

Hyrule was confused. "Wait, what? Run that by me one more time." 

Wind's grin fell just a little bit, before coming back up. "Four woke up first, saw something was cooking, and woke everyone but you and sky because we thought you must have kept watch the whole night. Is that not what happened?"

"Yeah, Time said he couldn't sleep last night, so he took over the watch early for me."

Time, who had been listening in, said "I think I would know my sleep schedule better than you would. You didn't wake me up last night, and I didn't wake myself up, that's for certain."

"Then who-"

Four hit the pot a few times. "Breakfast is ready, guys!"

The questions could wait. Nobody had had a good meal for at least a week or two, so they were excited to try the mysterious meal.

It. Was. Delicious!

After discussion, it was determined to be a mushroom, meat and rice based meal. The meat used was probably venison, and a high quality type at that. It was served with some mushrooms nobody recognized but everybody loved, and a strange rice they couldn't find an exact comparison of.

Idle conversation was of generally positive things and how beautiful the world was. All of their problems seemed far away, and the day promised to be a great one. As the last of the food was eaten up, and the bowl was starting to be wiped as clean as it would get, Twilight brought up the question on everyone's mind. 

"I wonder who made this for us."

"Maybe it was a ghost!" Wind exclaimed.

"Maybe it was a passing traveler?" Four said at the same time.

Legend laughed. "It was not a ghost, you idiot!"

"You don't know that," Wind huffed. "I met a ghost once, she was nice!"

"You did NOT meet a ghost!"

"Yeah I did!"

"Cut it out you two," Time said with his signature 'stop' look. "Whoever did it, they must have been a nice person. Don't argue about things this good, ok?"

"Ok!" Wind said. Legend just scoffed. 

Nobody noticed the person sitting on top of a tree, fiddling a strange ocarina.

I hope this was ok! I will be the first to admit my writing style isn't the best, but I think this is one of my better works at the moment. Comments and criticism is appreciated, and I may edit this if I find stupid things I want to change/fix. I should be home Friday, probably Thursday afternoon. Anyway, see you next time!

I love this so much! LOOK AT SKY ON THE TUBA!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Ok here me out..

LU Marching Band AU

Of course, I'm in marching band, and I force Linked Universe into everything I do soooo

Boom

I could yap about this for ages of y'all wanna here

(also don't mind winds heterochromia, I couldn't decide which eye color and then I was like wait, both is good)

Oh, and I have a playlist for y'all too

I hc warriors as having albinism (bc my friend has albinism and I don’t see enough positive representation for albino ppl) so I did a sketch of him

I dont have a came but i think if i did i would use it to reach for things and pull them toward me if im too lazy to get up and actually grab it. So, the question is - do you think your version of legend would do that? 👀

Absolutely! He would!

And he would also do that

Warriors is often characterized as being vain or self-centered when it comes to his appearance, but for me that's not true. Self-conscious is how i would describe it. Before the war, I don't think he cared about his appearance at all. He wasn't nobility, and on the battlefield, appearance isn't all that important if your face is covered by a helmet.

The war came with some very unexpected developments, like getting the Master Sword, skyrocketing through the ranks, meeting Impa, meeting Zelda, and more. As the one bearing the Hero's Spirit, he can handle those things.

But then he became Helen of Troy.

Hyrule is at war because Cia is in love with him. Her attraction had more to do with his heroic actions and nature than the appearance of his reincarnations, but...

Come on, that's not what the rumor mill is saying.

Word on the street is Warriors is so drop-dead gorgeous, so bootylicious, that the kingdom is fighting a war over him. He's the face that launched 1000 ships. So everyone has high expectations when they see him.

And Farore forbid he doesn't live up to those expectations every hour of every day.

Every time he introduces himself he sees that slightly disappointed look in the other person's face that he didn't live up to hype. What a tragedy he doesn't always conform to everyone's idea of the ideal man, that he looks like a person and not the divine image of beauty incarnate.

And the comments! "I thought you'd be taller" "I thought you'd be shorter" "You have some baby fat" "You look older than I expected" "Your hair is a little messy" "Your sleeve is too wrinkly" On and on about things he used to never notice or care about. It's worse when he's at a noble gathering and Zelda is using him as a prop to drum up support for the war effort, but even on the field he can't escape it.

Farore forbid Warriors go without a shower for a few days and have helmet hair because there's a war. "You have to look presentable for the troops or it'll lower morale." Of course it'll lower morale. He's Helen of Troy. His beauty is the point. He has to look presentable.

All this results in Warriors having a lot of anxiety around his appearance. He checks himself in the mirror over and over for imperfections he didn't notice the first time. And even after that he can't shake the feeling that he's somehow doing it wrong or missed something, and everyone is secretly laughing at how silly he looks and he's embarrassing Zelda by simply being in public.

Warriors has ADHD, especially when it comes to planning. He’ll have backup plans for backup plans. He’s got spreadsheets and red string on a board connecting his plans, and he’s got a chessboard that he uses religiously, and even toy soldiers for real life-or-death plans.

And screw it- he doesn’t have anything? He’ll use fucking rocks and sticks for planning , and he’ll draw plans into dirt and even gravel if he has too.

Mans is obsessed, and no I will not elaborate.

Ok I'm back on my Hyrule Warriors bullshitery, and Wars knows like the most random assortment of people???

Why do we not have more fics of this???

The potential!!!! It could be like:

Sky gets talking about Girahim, and Wars just groans and adds his two cents on the tongue thing that the demons does. Sky agrees, but he is also v confused, because how do you know him exactly???

With Ravio there is the potential for angst because Wars knows Rav, but Ravio doesn't know him yet. But consider that Warriors knows all the merchants loopholes, and is able to negotiate for reasonable prices. Meanwhile Legend is off to the side holding his head all HOW??? Because he has been trying to figure out how to do that for years with no luck at all.

Time gets some serious emotional whiplash when they run into Princes Ruto and has a bit of a panic. Warriors is the man with chronic woman problems, and Ruto is the most problematic woman Time knows — which can only spell disaster. Instead they are chill, and she is asking the Captain how his last date worked out, and then Time remembers that she fought in the war too. He relaxes for only a moment before shooting into a Dad Crisis™ because Ruto is offering to be the knights wing man and oh goddess someone stop them.

Twilight gets to have a wtf moment when the chain runs into Agatha and Warriors just pulls out jars of rare bugs from his world for the girl.

But at the same time, Warriors doesn't know people that you would reasonably think he probably should given the time periods he was dropped into. Groose? Never heard of him. Malon? He met her for the first time with all the others.

And he can kinda navigate in certain places and eras. They get to Skyloft and he wants to know if the bakery a block away from the academy still sells those pumpkin muffins. He can navigate Hyrule field in Twilights era with his eyes closed (it's because he has).

From an outsiders perspective he has a baffling assortment of random knowledge, that makes sense only to Time and that's because the one-eyed hero fought in the War Across the Ages. But to the rest of the chain Warriors has this cryptid like power to him, and they are sure they could just ask him about it, but none of them are certain if they actually want to know.

based off this post about albino wars :)

close ups under cut

Do you have more headcanons for Albino Warriors? I don't have albinism nor do I know anybody with albinism, so I would like to know some more if you want/can share.

I just want to get this out of the way, I am not a person with albinism or expert, so don’t use me as a main source for everything that people with albinism have to deal with, this is just what me and my friend have discussed and what I have found online while researching. Feel free to correct anything I get wrong :)

That being said…

He uses a lot of sunscreen. people with albinism are significantly more likely to get skin cancer from UV light, so he always has a bottle or two on him.

(Time also has a secret back up stash on him because he remembers how stressed The captain got when he ran out during the war.)

He has photophobia (sensitivity to light) and he has a pair of sunglasses that he puts on when it’s too bright, even though this isn’t the best for his vision, 20/60, that means that something someone with perfect vision can see from 60 feet he can only see from twenty. He has contact lenses that he wears most of the time (his Hyrule is the second most high tech (on a technicality) and is in the middle of an Industrial Revolution (hc)) but when he’s tired or just doesn’t feel like putting his contacts in, he’ll wear glasses. At the same time, he’s very self-conscious about that, and only starts wearing them around the chain when he starts opening up to them.

Legend, after finding out about his photophobia and how the sunglasses aren’t very good for his eyesight he get him a brimmed hat (from Ravio) and then enchanted it to block out light better.

This isn’t the most specific stuff but I want to talk to my friend about the more specific and complex issues dealt with in the albinism community before I cover it in this, thank you for asking (Sorry this took so long to respond to). Please remember to not be afraid to do your own research and look into different conditions. Have a good day/night.
