The Idea Of There Being A Shitty Zelda Movie Is Actually Upsetting Me. My Stomach Hurts I Need To Touch

Legend 1st gen ring thoughts

I think a lot of us are aware about the 1st gen ring from the oracle games but for those who aren’t basically in the oracle games you can find a ring that makes Link (Legend in this case) look like Zelda 1 Link (Hyrule).

in the context of LU sometimes I find myself trying to wrap my head around the concept of how Legend could find a ring that turns him into a guy from the future. My main theories are 1. it’s just not that serious and I overthink too many things (it’s just Zelda universe magic) 2. Maybe it’s a predictive ring, it turns the wearer into the next of their line in Legend’s case his successor. Maybe if Sky wore it he’d look like Four or if Time wore it he could turn into Twilight. Etc.

and then there’s #3 (my favorite one). In Oracle of Ages Legend travels to and from 500 years in the past and back to his present. Maybe once, without realizing it, he travels into the distant future, one where Hyrule has already existed, and picks up the ring that bestows the wearer the appearance of the most recent hero. I think this one makes the most sense with the time shenanigans thats already in Oracle of Ages.

My next question is that when Legend puts on the ring does it make him look like Hyrule but from his 1st journey, when he was like 10, bc that’s the form it has you take in the game. Or, would it just give Legend Hyrule’s general appearance? It doesn’t change your clothing in the game, it just changes your body. My favorite theory, which leads to a headcanon, is that it gives Legend the appearance of whatever Hyrule looks like currently. going off that last theory, I think when Legend introduces the ring it’s for giggles, it’s gimmicky. Maybe one time he tries it he notices that he has a huge scratch on his knee or something and he realizes that it always reflects Hyrule’s current form. This becomes useful in a pinch. For example, if the chain gets separated, Hyrule can write a note on his arm, like locations or warnings, and Legend can use the ring to read such messages. Maybe one time he tried this and to his horror there’s no message and Hyrule looks like he’s in bad shape. Legend learns from that that he can figure out whether Hyrule is hiding injuries. (This also probably leads to a big conversation about boundaries and personal space depending on how emotionally intelligent you think they are)

I think after their quest ends and they all go back home sometimes Legend puts on the ring just to see how Rulie’s doing. Sometimes, if he’s lucky, there’s even a little message for him. One day he puts on the ring and Hyrule hasn’t aged. He tries again and again and Hyrule never ages. Maybe one day the ring doesn’t do anything. </3

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

My take on Hyrule’s Backstory

I think one of the reasons why I love Hyrule’s character and that very first Zelda game so much is because of how much there is to speculate on and world build from the little provided to you.

My own take on Hyrule is that I think he would’ve been born to a fairy and to a hylian making him half fairy half hylian. The fairy would’ve probably been a budding great fairy. I wrote about my theories about fairy reproduction somewhere on my blog but it basically boils down to that I don’t think fairies actually have sexes, or chromosomes, and their idea of gender mainly comes from what they overhear from Hylians.

This means fairies reproduce asexually, in my own headcanoning. I think they do this by fusing, kinda Steven universe style lol 😔 When they fuse it creates both a stronger fairy, the two that fused, and a new fairy from the leftover energy. When fairies defuse that’s what grows their population.

When Hyrule’s parents met they fell in love. One thing led to another and they created him. Since Hylians and fairies don’t have the same form of reproduction, it caused both of them to basically sacrifice all of their energy and lives to make him. It might’ve been an accident creating him, they didn’t know it would kill them, but even if it was neither of them would regret it if they had known.

Hyrule’s fairy aunts raise him for the first 6 years of his life until they realize that he might be the keeper of the hero’s spirit. He’s also getting really big and they’re starting to lack in resources a growing half-hylian needs. So begrudgingly they relinquish him to a small catholic convent at the border of Calatia.

Hyrule doesn’t really enjoy this. He went from living as a free spirit surrounded by nature and love to a very authoritative and strict setting. The nuns that he lives with also treat him as a girl. I think biologically Hyrule would only have 1 X chromosome to his name with the other one being something made of pure magic. So his sex is technically female? On his mothers side at least. Whatever he inherited from his fairy parent’s side looks feminine by hylian standards so they treat him as such.

I have another headcanon that Hylia prefers for all that carry the hero’s spirit to be male to represent that very first hero. Whenever a person who carries the hero’s spirit is born with anything but XY chromosomes gets gently bestowed with SEVERE GENDER DYSPHORIA from the goddess herself.

When Hyrule is around 9 or 10 he gets fed up and too antsy to stay much longer so he packs a small bag and sets out on his own adventure. I don’t think he would be catholic after staying at the convent. My time in catholic school definitely didn’t make me Catholic. That being said, I don’t think he’d hate the stories so he carries a bible with him and occasionally uses some practices in his adventures. Like in his second game when he uses a cross to deter moas.

And that’s my take on Hyrule’s backstory before his quests.

AU where the Hyrule and Legend meet first before the rest of the chain.

The portal dumps Hyrule right in the middle of the ocean. Even if he could swim it would be futile as there’s no land for many miles. As he starts to drown he sees a flash of shimmering scales. He loses and regains consciousness over and over again over a course of time that he can’t count. Each time he wakes sees pretty pink scales, pink hair, gills, and violet eyes. Sometimes he even hears the comforting few notes of a song.

When he finally comes to it’s tucked safely under a cluster of palm trees on the shore of an unfamiliar beach in an even more unfamiliar, but familiar, Hyrule. He has to wonder if the goddess really does love him or if he really was rescued by a mermaid.

Legend had never intended to leave the unfortunate Hylian behind. He left him in a safe spot on the shore before looking for a nearby village that could give better medical attention than he could. He never would have expected an avalanche to descend out of nowhere. It’s not even rainy season. Before he can run or activate a shield he’s struck across the head and knows no more.

He gains consciousness a few times and each he sees the shining form of a green fairy, a color of fairy he’s never seen before. Each time he wakes he hears soft chiming and feels the warmth of fairy magic in his blood. When he finally comes to he’s nestled safely in the roots of a great old tree. He wonders if the green fairy was real or if one of his rings just activated.

Legend and Hyrule both travel for a day aching and tired. Each of them are determined to find the unfortunate soul they had to momentarily leave alone. They run into each other on the road and recognize one another immediately. Do they mention their acts of kindness or blatant recognition? NO.

Maybe one day in the future they mention being saved by a mermaid/odd green fairy. Do they piece together each other’s stories? Maybe…

LU Soul Eater AU Vote

idk if this has been said before but a headcanon of mine (from my ✨personal✨ collection) is that before Hyrule met Legend he thought that he’d have a sort of Heman (He-Man???) build

Like this ^ before meeting him bc the legends were always saying stuff like “The hero of Legend could lift BOULDERS with his bare hands!!! He could run faster than an arrow 😤”

and poor Rulie always felt like such a fraud bc he was using power cuff and rings to aide himself

when he finally meets Legend and finds out he’s a slight malnourished twink that’s also been using magic items to aide himself he’s so happy and relieved.

there’s also something so special about being able to see yourself in your hero and finding out they’re not some perfect alpha chad but a genuine person who wasn’t ready to fight but had to blah blah blah

Damn, why did you do Wars dirty like that? Swear everyone on this site hates the poor man.

alright I hear you, I see you, but I gotta ask

which time specifically? The time I made him a single mom to 8? Or by headcanoning that he’s the type to struggle finding peace outside of work, dooming him to a less peaceful death? 😭 I’ve probably done him, and half the chain, dirty a dozen times over by now

Give me fic recs please I'm desperate.

I have so much skephalo/happyduo brainrot right now you don't understand.

i need a fanfic with them as the main focus but its so hard to find that because they are usually a background ship.

Rules for fic rec are pretty basic,

-no nsfw

Yeah that's all the rules. I prefer if the ship is romantic but at this point I'll take platonic. please just anything.

thank you ahead of time.

Rude Four Headcanon

I really like the aus where at the end of Four Swords the colors don’t become one again and they start a found family situation.

So imagine that right- the colors never went back and have spent the last 5 or so years growing into their own people. They get their own hobbies, their own lives, and… their own aesthetics!

Blue gets muscular, Green gets tan, Red dyes his hair, Vio wears heels. I think despite looking identical in features they would eventually start looking a bit different as they grow up.

As just mentioned, Blue has more bulk than the others, maybe he wears his hair shorter. Green spends a lot of his time outside training so he gets tanner than the rest. On the other hand Vio spends most his time indoors so he’s really pale. The heels also make people assume he’s like 5 inches taller than he is. After Red dyes his hair the rest like that idea so they all dye theirs too.

Eventually they all look so different people don’t even think they came from the same person unless they look really close.

When the Four Sword calls again they don’t know what will happen but of course they all go with courage, it’s their unifying shared trait after all.

And they become Link again for the first time in years and…

They have their original hair color and complexion. They’re short and only moderately muscular. Four’s complexion has evened out into something pale-ish (Vio bringing down the curve fr). And…

Their hair had all been so differently done from one another, varying in length and style. Apparently fused together it makes… a fuck ass bob.

Four feels weird being one person again but when he first looks in a mirror he only really has one feeling. He NEEDS scissors stat. Before he can do a thing about it the portal swallows him.

(The other heroes just really think he was into the hero of men. They all respectfully don’t mention the fact they all think that Four is constantly cosplaying. Four dies inside every time he has a chance to get a good look at his hair. It’s so blunt… not even layered. He never gets a chance to fix it.)

(When he reunites with Shadow the shade cry laughs at him until he realizes that whatever Four does reflects onto him. Commence Shadow chasing Four with scissors)

(When Four is finally able to split at some point all of the colors immediately are like: “we didn’t chose the haircut”)

I’m gonna be honest, I never really vibed with Four’s haircut and it’s made me genuinely feel guilty. It’s grown on me over time but it did take some time 💔

I enjoyed reading your LU Soul Eater AU, and I have one question. (Well many but I’ll limit to one.) Who sends all the Links on their joint adventure? Hylia or someone else? Is there an ultimate power sending them (like Death) or just their kingdoms joining together and sending agents from each kingdom to fight the big bad?

omg pls ask as many as you’d like I live for questions and discussions bout my aus I’m so serious

I didn’t explain it well (or possibly not at all) but Hyrule is basically a huge empire (probably around the size of Russia???) that consists of several different houses/kingdoms that all rule underneath the Empress. (The empress is Sun who has very recently been placed into that role)

Before the chain properly forms, each link kind of goes on their individual journeys for different purposes. Some of them were born into a lifestyle where their families expected them to defend their kingdoms such as Sky, Legend, Warriors, Wild, and kind of Four. Time, Twilight, Hyrule, and Wind were much more reactionary/self defense kind of things. Time is a bit complicated.

I think I got a bit away from the question 😭 the driving force that’s causing so many issues is the near revival of Ganon, who I think would be a witch with near godlike powers. For the past century his followers have been trying to resurrect him causing an insurgence in issues across the Hyrule Empire.
