Sky deserves to crash out or go catatonic for a few years or something

I’ll post more eloquent and ‘thought’ out thoughts and feelings when I finish it

Legend’s real fiancé/fiancée

this is probably my dumbest one yet

The chain has picked up on Legend occasionally mentioning a fiancé. He gets flustered every time. It’s one of the only real ways to catch him off guard. Since it’s a Link trait to be nosey, everyone is WAY up in Legend’s business. Each time they mention it though, Legend just blushes and waves them off.

The chain meets Fable at some point and she’s cunning, sarcastic, and funny. She seems like a very good match for Legend and… She goes doe eyed around him. She can’t take her eyes off him and she seems to hold onto his every word. Sky can recognize her affection for her hero from a mile away. He’s so happy to see that he’s not the only one in love with a Zelda. Twilight hangs over his shoulder, also understanding the love between a princess and her hero. So they slide up to her and asks if she and Legend are engaged. Her reaction is a little shocking. Her eyes go dark, her posture rigged. Her good mood is ruined. No. She’s not his fiancée but she wanted to be and tried. There’s so much she could offer him. They could be so happy. But no. To both men’s horror she has angry tears in her eyes. “I hate his stupid partner. It’s just.. AUGH.” She stomps away to sulk.

When the chain meets Ravio it all clicks. The man practically hangs off of Legend, linking their arms, hip bumping him as he passes. For Hylia’s sake they’re ROOMMATES. Time and Wars share a knowing look. During the war Ravio was always mentioning a special someone after all. So Time and Wars slide up to Ravio, teasing grins and all. They ask him if Legend was his bunny. They ask if the two are engaged. Ravio gets a wistful look on his face. It’s a bit sad and a little confused. Ravio tells them all about how he had asked Legend if he wanted to be more than roommates, not necessarily engaged, but partners. Legend apparently turned him down with lots of grace explaining he was already taken. Ravio had thought that maybe Legend was put off by them being mirror counterparts of each other, that could get pretty weird to be honest… but… it couldn’t be more weird than what Legend had!! Who he was engaged to! Ravio goes to the cellar to find the hard cider they make TOGETHER from their apples from the orchard.

Wind and Four are hanging out an a beach when a seagull joins them. Between Wind’s affinity for ghosts and Four’s Minish magic, they can understand her squawking. She asks about Legend, she’s very worried about his wellbeing. She relieved when they tell her he’s doing well. They piece together that this is the lovely Marin Legend has spoken of on more melancholic nights. She must be… ah it all makes sense. Fable’s frustration, Ravio’s hurt. Legend must’ve been engaged to his dream girl. The girl who he had to leave behind. The girl that still keeps vigil over him even when he doesn’t know she’s there. He must be unable to let go… So they ask her if she’s Legend’s betrothed. Somehow, for a bird, she puts on a stank face. Her feathers ruffle, she smooths them down with her beak. Ahem… no she’s not. She looks annoyed for a bird. Even while Legend was sleeping and she was there as his literal dream girl, Legend didn’t even go so far to kiss her. He just had such a strong feeling that somebody else was waiting for him… When she started a new life, that of the sky and sea, flying as a bird, she went to see who this person who was so special to him was and… she huffs and flies off, leaving a plume of feathers behind.

The chain ends up in Labrynna and there they meet Ralph who is ecstatic to see Legend. He also wears just as many if not more rings than Legend himself does. Wild and Hyrule exchange a look. Could it be possible that one of those rings might be a wedding ring? So Hyrule and Wild ask, probably too directly but Ralph… He sighs, shakes his head. When Legend came this way it seemed everyone had wanted chance to go on a date with the hero. Ralph wasn’t excluded from that group… but by the time he asked Legend to do something sometime, maybe something a little romantic, Legend kindly shot him down and told him of his engagement. Ralph was like ??? we are 15. (At the time of oracle of ages) Ralph gets a strange look on his face. He tells the chain that Legend’s betrothed is HERE. In Labrynna.

so of course they beg to meet this person. Everyone has so many questions. Legend has so many people that want him, who are so into him. How does this person surpass all of them? Legend, blushing like a maiden, agrees to introduce them. He leads them through the forest.

and this is her.

when he introduces the chain to a tree they think he’s lying. Not just a normal tree, but a talking one. A talking tree that’s annoying. She’s so offended when they don’t believe Legend. She demands her fiancé, omg is this real??, make them apologize. The chain doesn’t know what to do. Legend hugs her bark and she giggles. Hyrule breaks away from the chain. He looks concerned. “Legend. You were 15 when she proposed. How old was she?”

pandemonium breaks out when he mentions she must have been somewhere over 400 years old. He tries to claim that she’s like their age in tree years but it doesn’t really work.

idk if they stay together after this but I couldn’t get this stupid idea out of my head 😭 I hope somebody enjoys this!

LU Dawn Lore

I don’t think this is headcanoning anymore, I’m just kind of making up my own lore for Dawn at this point. I hope somebody enjoys this!

When I think of Dawn and Zelda 1 and 2 the aesthetic I imagine is like 80s dark fantasy. I really kind of think of Dawn as this She-Ra princess warrior or Mad Max baddie, though I think she might wear more armor or pants if she were to fight somebody.

Moving on- Dawn’s father, the current king of Hyrule, is a no good, dirty rotten, pathetic man. The only reason the royal family has even persisted this long is due to their resources, wealth, and control at this point. They have just enough of Hylia’s blood still running through their veins to have enough power to make sure Ganon doesn’t full snuff them out but it is obvious that Ganon rules this land. Dawn’s father is greatly concerned with his own comfort and a sickening greed. 

The royal family owns a vast library that ensures that stay educated enough to maintain control over the few surviving towns in Hyrule. The king enacts harsh taxes over these towns in return for education, access to medicine, and protection. The king has never married and has dozens of bastards across Hyrule. One day he sends out a call for all of his children to convene at the castle. 

For Dawn this is easy, her mother is a part of the royal council and she ensured that Dawn grow up in Castle Town. Her father had decided to declare an heir and he decides to do so through a “series of tests” to decide who is most worthy. These tests are mostly just throwing his various children into a Thunderdome type arena and having them fight. This is to his great amusement. 

Dawn is HORRIFIED. This is sick. Everyday she fights somebody of her own blood watching as her father laughs and laughs, choking on mead and fruit that rarely grows in these lands. She almost refuses to go, but every night she dreams of a beautiful woman crying tears like stars begging her to try. Begging her to save these lands. Every night this woman whispers wisdom to her and every day Dawn survives another day. 

She does her best to spare her siblings where she can. It’s not fair to fight the ones too small to lift a sword or those so thin they sway in the breeze. Many of them use this mercy to leave, go back to their real families. But not all of them. Some have the same greed and madness their father has. The blood of Hylia runs through all of them but it’s partial to Dawn. After a week of this, she emerges victorious and is dubbed as the princess of Hyrule. 

Despite being the princess of Hyrule now, Dawn knows that her father doesn’t actually plan on giving her any power whatsoever. This whole heir of Hyrule thing is just to appease some members of the court who are worried about the family line or appearances. She has a sick feeling her father agreed to this just for his amusement. 

She takes to eavesdropping and spying to gain as much intelligence as possible. She soon learns that her father is planning to make a deal with Ganon. The known locations of the triforce fragments for safety and riches. Next council meeting she attends, Dawn gets up, walks across the table to her father and beheads him before he can even question what he’s doing. She pulls his crown from his head and declares herself the Queen of Hyrule. For the first time in 700 years, Zelda once again ascends the throne. 

She immediately regrets her quick decision and bloody judgement. Her council now listens to her but it’s obvious that they fear her and do not trust her. She is young, only 17. She’s sick and tired of killing by the time her own mother confronts her. There Dawn learns that her mother was more closely working with her father than she had thought. Dawn’s mother had been forming a small cult in worship of Ganon to prepare for his imminent takeover. Dawn’s mother pleads with her to understand her father’s point of view. Dawn thinks that she should probably cut down her mother where she stands but she cannot bring herself to do it, so she banishes her instead. This is the first time Dawn regrets NOT killing somebody. Her mother would only gain strength and followers in the wasteland. Years later her mother’s cult would become an ugly scar on her little brother’s life. 

On a small mission to try and form an alliance with a nearby great mother that leads a well hidden fairy fountain, Dawn is captured by Ganon. For months she is terrified and weak, subjected to listening to the snorts and grumbles of an ugly pig who is going to destroy her beloved home. She is greatly unhopeful to be rescued knowing her council has a poorly hidden disliking of her.

The pigs greedy and prideful rambling starts to bleed frustration. Somebody is finding the triforce fragments before he can. Dawn tries not to get her hopes up, but she can’t help herself. To her surprise, a savior comes. Hyrule, in all his 11 year old glory, fights the beast and frees her. Together they render Ganon into nothing but ashes. Another regret of hers for leaving something of him behind.

Of course she takes the boy home, he has many an injury and she has never had so much gratitude for somebody. Dawn decides that she cannot trust her council, especially after she discovers they were the reason she was captured in the first place. She gives them a choice: banishment or execution. Some of them wisely banish theirselves, but some try to fight for Dawn’s seat on the throne. She’s more than ready to fight, but to her shock and horror, her little hero is as well. Together they slay the rest of her court. 

She struggles to build a new one, miserable after the little hero is chased out of the castle due to a curse living in his blood. She’s more than pleased when he returns with a small entourage of kind people he’s met over his journey. Impa, a kindly old woman Dawn remembers well from her childhood. A village healer, a kindly knight devoted to the goddesses. A moblin that her hero fervently insists is friendly. 

It’s a small start but it’s more than Dawn had ever had before. She’s happy for the first time in forever and the sky over Hyrule looks blue.

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…

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

the stance.

the multiple shovels.

stepping on the creatures 😭

the sweat 😭😭😭😭

omg this is wonderful tysm for drawing this I feel so so honored

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

in the series a lot of people die and it’s pretty meaningful. I’m also a fan of whump and let’s be honest. DRAMA. So that being said, I think it would keep things spicy. But. I won’t do it if everyone is strongly opposed.

did anyone write anything about bad and Etoiles finding comfort in both of their bodies decaying?

these two really are two sides of the same coin

BARK BARK BARK 😻
