Hey guys, I just want to say a huge thank you for the responses on recent posts. I was feeling kinda insecure about this AU but you've all sent so many kind messages that I feel a bit silly for having felt insecure in the first place... Thank you so much everyone, it's a joy to share my art with all of you. :)
Time: What does it look like..?
Why does Tumblr keep turning reblogs off on my text posts...
Hey guys, there's something I've been pondering about a lot: What do people see this au comic as? Is it a small corner of the fandom? Do people see it as popular? Notable? Weird?
I feel very isolated from main fandom discussions for some reason, and I can only get so much info looking at my follower count. 🤔 I am really curious about how I and specifically this blog is seen...
I miss Hylia...
I should draw her again...

Post Canon Skyward Sword
As it is in Linkverse!
Zelda’s proposal to make the surface into a home was an easy yes. The land was bright, lively, and full of things Skyloft couldn’t offer. The first to agree were of course Link and Groose, but they were far from the last. At Gaepora’s suggestion, the Knight’s academy offered it’s resources for the three, and soon Skyloft was full of talk about expansion efforts somewhere below the clouds…
Are we gonna see more of my precious lad Hero's Spirit??
Of course! Although she isn't as common of a main character as the main 8, there is lots to see with him still. 🙌 Soon* in fact!
*I'll try 🥲
Does fangs like ilia? Cuz she was in a like flashbackey thing a while back and like. What’s their relationship?
They're close-ish friends.
Ilia and Link were really close when younger but after the events of the game they both were changed in various ways and now they struggle to see eye to eye.
There's still immense love within both of them for one another but they struggle to express it and spend time together.
It upsets them both that such a gap has formed but they dont know how to fix it. Ilia is her intense self and trying to cross it while Link is unreceptive due to fear. (Which I am hoping to explore in comic!) There's hope tho, as they both want to fix things!!
Also Fangs/Twilight is gay in this au, altho it hasn't rly come up cause I'm not rly including much romance in the comic and dont ship him with anyone. ✌ Ilia is probably bi or pan, she got the vibe.
how old is hero, physically? they look young, a similar age to the rest of the cast- but why? does she have a say in how old he looks? if so, why did she pick this age? or, if he has no say in it, why do they look that age?
hero is everyone, right? because they're the hero's spirit? i know most of the cast is pretty young right now, but i assume they'll all grow up later, and personally if i was an adult and then my ghost/spirit was a child i would be pretty unhappy with that
Oooh what a facinating question... 😮
He's a young adult, I'd say 25 maybe? Like the kind of age a kid would think is old but when u reach that age it feels like youre a fraud and not a "real" adult
The meta reasons for why are:
- I wanted him to be recognisable as Link, and most of us imagine even adult Links on the younger side of adulthood due to the games.
- Hero's role in the story is inspired largely by some events in my own life. I'm only 22 when writing this so its pretty easy to guess I wasn't very old when those things occured haha.
- It's very important to me that Hylia and Hero's dynamic is read in a very specific way! The things I want to say are very much tied to the idea of a maternal figure and someone who isn't quite independent yet. Again, this is because of me writing from experience.
Of course an older Hero could work, youre never too old to have troubles with your mom. Just that it works better for my intentions this way.
TLDR; She looks like that cause it works the best (in my opinion) for telling a very personal storyline.
But
That doesn't answer the question in universe at all. AND I'll admit I hadn't put much thought into that until your ask! So thank you!
However... The answer for now at least is uh... I dont know why hero in-universe appears like that. It may even be better left open for people to make their own conclusions.
Still I dont like leaving people empty-handed and this post could still be longer lol✌
Here's some plausible ideas, pick ur fav:
- She doesn't choose to appear younger but that is how the goddesses see him so it just happens
- He CAN control how they look and doesn't feel ready to exist as an older adult yet.
- She's aging alongside Hylia who's older than her.
- Maybe he feels stuck in a specific moment or moments due to bad experiences
- He hasnt considered it either and if u asked she'd have an extential crisis cause they dont know eitheer....
TLDR part 2: I dont know why he look like that actually.
why ravio so cute 🎤
Excellent branding 👍
If there's anything about this AU that confuses you or a plot element you'd like explained further feel free to send me an ask!

I love stories that are love stories but aren’t about romantic love!!!!!!!!! even if they contain romantic love it’s not the focus!!! and love for friends and community and strangers is shown as valuable and worthwhile!!!
Teen boys be like
For those who've not re-read in a while and might be out of the loop with lore: The boys are being swapped around in time randomly, so although they're stuck inside the barrier, they're not worried: They'll just be transported out of there after a random amount of time.
Tetra deserves better

Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange Interest Check
Hullo everyone! We have a huge announcement we're like to make: We're hosting a Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange.
What is the Legend of Zelda AU Gift Exchange? It's a gift exchange meant to celebrate the vast amount of AUs within the Legend of Zelda fandom, hosted by the Monstrous Fusion AU discord server! All AUs are welcome; whether those are a general LoZ AU or a Links Meet! The only catch is that these AUs must be server appropriate, which means they do not contain explicit NSFW content.
This project is for people of every skill level, both in art and writing! Once you send in your registration, you're in!
Proposed Timeline;
Sign-Ups Open: May 11th Sign-Ups Close: May 23rd Gift Assignments Release: May 27-28th Gift Creation Begins: May 28th Dropout Deadline: June 7th First Check-Ins: June 7th Second Check-in: June 17th Third Check-in: June 27th Gift Drop Off Days: June 29-30th
( Note; this is a tentative timeline. This means it isn't final! It can change, but this is the general consensus for the timeline.)
If there's enough interest in the project, we would love to make this an annual thing! There's a treasure trove of brilliant ideas and creative talent behind the Legend of Zelda fandom, and this gift exchange hopes to bring that community together and brighten someone's day! If you don't have your own AU, never fear! You can still join! You can request General LOZ content, or content from your favourite LoZ AU!
You do not have to be in the discord server to participate, but the event is connected to the server. All Updates will be on the temporary server! But we encourage most of the chatting to be done on the main server. You can find the invite here! (I'll go on a personal whim to say that the server is very lovely and it's a nice small community <3 We would love to see you there)
Feel free to reblog to get to more people!
We hope to see you all there! <3
