☆Linked Across Dimensions ☆

*sits back to watch them fight*

I've been curious about Links who are based off the same person in canon but they're two different Links in LAD! Like Time/Mask, Wind/Phantom, or Wild/Tear :0

Do the links from the sequel games only experience the events of the sequel? How do their personalities differ from the other Link?? (I know Time and Mask are very different, I don't think I've seen the other ones though!) And are the other people in their games the same? Like the new champions in botw, do Wild and Tears know the same people or different versions of them?? :0

Sorry I asked a lot of questions 😭 But just some things I was thinking about :3

oooooo I love these questionnnsss (also don't apologize for asking a lotta questions, I love this so much)

So the Links that come from sequel games like Totk and Mm only experience the events of that particular game as if they were a separate story from the prequel not a continuation of it

Their stories are tweaked ever so slightly to avoid plot holes that come from being a sequel game but the whole gist of the plot stays the same

For the personalities I made this cute chart because I'm a visual learner :Dc I mostly went off the ones you mentioned but if there are any others tell me and I'll make charts for them too

And as for characters that are the same in two games, I made this (the workings of who gets what group of champions/sages is still being tweaked a bit (mostly for wild and calamity) but this is the general idea)

so in short the answer is: it's different people

they may play similar roles but in they end they are separate people, I did this to avoid confusion and to better keep all the links separate characters from separate timelines and stories

Most times I tend to just make duplicates two different people (like four swords Vaati and mc Vaati) but sometimes I'll nix them from other games all together and make them exclusive to one (like purah and robbie)

(since impa appears in a BUNCH of other games and is not a botw incarnation specific character she gets multiple iterations)

I hope this was helpful and not confusing at all 😔 it makes sense to me I promise, and I can explain portions of this in more detail if you want

my actual line up for the botw/totk/aoc/aoi and the (very confusing omg what am I looking at) chart for sage/champion distribution

Wild: The champions (Revali, Mipha etc)

Tears: The totk new sages (Tulin, Sidon etc)

Calamity: The champions concept designs (like the ones in the botw concept art book BECAUSE THOSE DESIGNS WERE PEAK the story would be a itty bit different but the concept is the same)

Zephyr/Construct: The og sages (ie the ones in aoi)
