Legend Linked Universe - Blog Posts

A lot more people liked my Mer-Legend concept/sketch thingy than what I thought, so here’s a progress report, since I haven’t actually finished:

He’s bald

And to distract you all from the fact that I haven’t actually done that much progress, here’s some fun facts that I learned about the Zelda franchise.

Legend found a temple, believed to be a grave, called The Temple of the Four Sword, where Legend had to fight four dark Links, all color coordinated too. Wonder what that’s about. Apparently the purple one is the hardest fight of the four.

There is Zelda game that crossover with Crypt of NecroDancer called Candence of Hyrule, making it a rhythm based game.

Wind and Time show up in Warrior’s timeline for his “adventure” (in quotation marks because it was a full on war). Here’s some other characters that showed up: Shiek (Time), Daruina (Time), Princess Ruto (Time), Midna (Twilight), Fi (it’s Fi, like), Marin (Legend), Medli (Wind), Ravio (Legend), Tetra (Wind), and Skull Kid (Time)

There’s a girl in Warrior’s timeline named Linkle. Fanfic seems to suggest she’s Warrior’s sister/twin, but I couldn’t find anything about that, so…

One of Legend’s adventures was getting stranded in an island named Koholint after his raft got stuck in a storm (where he was struck by lightning), and the actual adventure was waking up this fish god per the islanders’ request. Upon waking up the fish you learn that the entire adventure was a dream created by the fish and that none of it (expect the storm) was real. In this dream Legend was saved by a girl who wished to become a seagull, and who Legend fell in love with. Her name was Marin. Warriors should probably mention to him that she’s alive somewhere.

Legend is apparently Zelda’s sibling. His timeline believes that boys born into the royal family are bad luck and taint the goddess magic, which is why the family is cursed to have boys with incredibly bright colored hair, makes them easy to hunt. It’s why Legend has pink hair.

In the topic of Legend and curses, during his first adventure a wizard had taken over Hyrule, imprisoning Zelda and brainwashing the knights into believing that Legend was a traitor to the crown.

There was another game in Wind’s time line involving trains. I don’t know if the protag Link is still Wind, just later in life, a completely unrelated Link that came way after time (with their homes being a new Hyrule built by Wind and Tetra (lowkey seems more possible)) or if the whole thing was another dream adventure created by fish god. A comment cleared it up. This Link (Spirit) is new and years after Wind but Jojo likely fused the two to bring the number down.

Wind can also, apparently, see dead people. Or he has a sword that allows him to see dead people. Still unclear on that too.

So, I’ve gotten really into Linked Universe (which is funny cause i’ve never once consumed any of the actual medias) and while reading fanfic I found out that apparently Legend has a suit that turns him into a mermaid? So I ran with it.

Ignore how messy the sketch is and tell me which one of the two looks the best, plz. My sister is zero help

Also here’s the actual mermaid suit💀

And Legend’s character sheets for anyone that might not know what i’m talking about

Hear me out: Sky and Four as Gods

Sky is the god of Fate, skies and love

Four is the god of Magic, forests and luck.

This is entirely a self indulgent au that makes very little sense so enjoy

Designs!

I picked these two to be gods because I love them and thats the only reason

Lore and the blueprints of a story under the cut <3

Sky becomes a god after Skyward Sword, but doesn’t directly feel the effects until Zelda passes of old age. He properly takes up the title as god, form changing over time to become more godlike. He now resides in the heavenly realm, a place where he can watch over the world and make sure Fate goes as according to plan.

Sky’s design

He’s represented by eyes, and it is said that he can view through anything that has an eye on it. His cloak can become wings, and if you look long enough the eyes on his outfit may blink. He often uses lightning as a weapon.

Sky looks after Hyrule as it develops, until he Sees the events of Four Swords and recognises the power of a potential god.

Unlike Sky, Four becomes a god after his passing. He appears in the heavenly realm? And is shocked to be meeting THE god of Fate himself. Four is like a faun but with the lower half of a minish because they represent his domain the best. He can split into the colours who still need to design but they all look similar.

They look after Hyrule together until the events of OOT, when the timeline splits. This causes some issues, and Four and Sky have to try to deal with the time travel without disrupting the fabric of the universe, so they seperate the timeline into three sections, the smallest amount they can. This drains the both of them and they fade into myths.

Over time they will regain power, occasionally assisting the new heroes without them noticing. Four will place good items for them to find, while Sky will make sure their story ends well. The downfall timeline is the hardest to affect, because it was never meant to happen.

Then the war of eras happens.

The dramatic re-merging of the timelines causes the two to become major players in the story again, possibly even appearing in Warriors battles? (Im coming up with this on the spot okay, don’t judge).

Once that is finished, they don’t fade into legend again. Their stories are passed down and they become almost worshipped.

Time takes its course and we get to pre-BOTW. Calamity Ganon was not supposed to rise that early. He broke the laws of fate itself, which causes Sky to have a panic because wtf??? That’s not supposed to happen???

Four does his best to aid the hero while Sky is out of commission, and helps Zelda unlock her powers. He uses his magic to help heal the hero while he’s asleep in the shrine. BOTW happens, Four and Sky calls upon Fate to make sure Ganon does not rise again once Link has defeated him. That’s the end of the timeline. Sky and Four, thinking they’re done, finally let themselves rest. Hylia (because she still exists despite doing nothing to help the two), decides that she should ignore Fate and bring all the heroes together, including the two that are currently gods. When she pulls them all together, Sky and Four are very confused to wake up as mortal hylians again, and don’t even recognise eachother at first. They travel with the Chain, knowing a lot more than they let on. Eventually it gets revealed that they’re gods.

Don’t really know where I’ll go with this but feel free to use this because I know I’ll likely never touch it again

Guys….. I………

I did a thing.

Legend listens to Mitski.

No, I will not elaborate.

I couldn’t find the actual post so I used the picture I used as a reference when I started drawing it-

This was completely inspired by @insert-original-lu-sideblog-name ‘s post at the top and I’m proud of how it came out!
