Hi, I'm the one and only LEMONHEAD, or just Ann

I'm an animation and illustration artist, and I finally finished my thesis film and graduated art school. So I can draw all sorts of Links without feeling guilty about it hehe

✶ Reposts are okay, as long as you credit me. Same goes to banners/pfps

✶ I work in Krita, OpenToonz, Blender, TB Harmony and After Effects

✶ My tablet is Wacom One 13 (DTC133W0B)

✶ It might take a while for me to answer to your ask, especially when i want to doodle something in addition to my response, but I will answer eventually!

I said I was hesitant to use non-canon heroes because for the most part I have no idea what to do with them, I don't know most of their stories and/or personalities, and I don't wanna try to guess. I think there's enough for me to work with for now, there's a certain pair that I have almost nothing written for, so I'm focusing on that ^^"

Yeah, I did say that there could be more Links between the ones in LU. I thought about placing the Hero of Men before Four when I started working on the AU, but, first, I'm 90% sure that Four IS the Hero of Men in LU (as well as Hero of Light, and, sidenote, but these two are the most badass titles for Link, like DAMN, Hero of Men?? Hero of Light? So simple yet so powerful, like Four himself mmmmm... Wait, what was I talking about?), and second, it still stops making sense later in the cycle. I can't make Zeldas avatars because they're all a completely different thing as explained here. Also, I'm not sure how this would work, considering that Zeldas exist with Links simultaneously

I'm proooobably not going to work on the heroes outside of the ones in LU, if I'm being honest, I'm even a little hesitant about First. That all sounds a little overwhelming, especially with someone like Ancient hero, when there's almost no lore to go off of. Spirit Tracks Link? Maaaaybe. I haven't played the game yet, but I am going to, so we'll see. But, while I'm not going to create concepts for those heroes, they still exist

that contrast of a regular boy who was raised by his grandpa near a big town, went to school and stuff, and the one who hasn't seen a single hylian until age 10... them talking each other's ear off about the minish and the kokiri.. young Time finally allowing himself to be a kid near Four...

I'm just insane and unemployed

Jokes aside, I either work on something for MONTHS or I get an idea one random afternoon, enter the state™ and finish it in 1-2 days, which is what you mostly see on here. I also write down random ideas that I don't have energy for at that moment and come back to them when I feel like it

I wasn't sure if I had an exact age for each of them when I started thinking about the response, but apparently I do! Buckle up for my favorite big guy, I have a lot to say about him in particular heheh... And the not-so-big guy too. But most of them are just based on vibes, behavior and my own experiences

Time - 32

Obviously the oldest, but not old by any means. He's still quite young, but already an ADULT adult if you know what I mean. As for his mental age, he's not much older imo, he just likes messing with the others. I often see people just adding 7 years to his physical age because of the OoT time jump, but he wasn't a 16-17 year old returned to the body of a 9-10 year old by the end of the game. He was still mentally a kid, which is exactly what makes his story so fucked up. And as for Majora's mask, I don't think he's spent this much time stuck in the three day cycle, certainly not enough to make him a few years older. Now, it is possible that he had used the ocarina again afterwards which would also add to his age, but, well, we don't have any evidence to prove it (at least not yet.. or not that I'm aware of??), so I'm just going with his games. And his Old Man talk™? Great Deku Tree influence. As simple as that

Warriors - 27

Similar to Time, he's already an adult adult, but still young. Being in his late 20s just feels right for him, I don't have much to say here tbh

Twilight - 23

Also no comments here other than 1) he is a little older or "not too far off in age" than Four; 2) he reminds me of a friend of mine who is the same age, so I just assigned it to him subconsciously

Sky - 21

Logic makes me want to make him the same age as Twilight, but he just SEEMS younger than him, I'm not sure how to explain it. It might be because he seems a little less serious than him, but yeah, they're still close in age

Four - 20

I will die on this hill. It feels like a perfect age for Four - still young enough to be a little bit of an idiot, to not want to settle and just explore the world instead, but old enough to have this emotional maturity and (slight) sense of responsibility that he's got. I also like to think that he was at the peak of puberty (16-17) during the FSA events, because if going against everyone and constantly arguing with yourself isn't a perfect metaphor for that age - I don't know what is. Another thing I wanna mention is that I saw people saying him being offended by being called a kid is what makes him younger in their eyes, but as a young adult who's constantly mistaken for a 11-12 year old I want to say - it was really annoying at 16 and it doesn't stop being annoying in your early 20s

Wild - 19 (well, 119)

I agree with you about Wild's age, he just doesn't seem 17 to me at all, and tbh in my eyes he wasn't even 17 during the events of BotW. HOWEVER, the way I think about it is that he just... doesn't know/forgets how much time has passed since he woke up? I guess at some point he remembered or found out how old he was, and later he just couldn't be bothered to count

Legend and Hyrule - 17

The recent update. I rest my case

Four is such an interesting and complicated character, it makes me really happy that you like my portrayal of him and that it helps you write him. He does seem like a grown adult man to me, even if a young one. He's still a Link, he can be stupidly reckless or silly at times, but it's those small moment when he decides to stay serious instead of goofing around that make him so mature in my eyes. I also really like this type of characters (serious and quiet with a pinch of mischief y'all see why I'm so obsessed with Time as well), which probably helps me capture his personality just the way I want. So yeah, once again, glad you're enjoying, and I'm ready to provide more >:)
