#cdi link

This Link has no idea what’s going on 99% of the time, but he’ll do his best! Everyone around him (not from his universe) is constantly mystified that he’s not dead.

Some of his tools might also baffle the other Links. I’m taking the tutorial as canon, meaning every time he wants to talk to someone, he hits them with his sword.

The group has to coach him out of the habit.

Explosions don’t damage him unless he gets hit with a few very specific pieces of shrapnel, so he sometimes blows himself up and just walks it off. Wild’s magic bombs in particular are fun for him to use because there’s no debris, just the explosion itself, so Koridai doesn’t need to worry about any injuries at all.

He is so, so cringe. The other Links get second-hand embarrassment from him, and he never seems to notice.

Says ‘golly’ unironically.

Probably incapable of feeling embarrassed, honestly.

He’s got a reputation of being a big flirt for asking girls to kiss him, but he actually doesn’t know what comes after that. Dating? What’s that???

I don’t think he ever expects to get kisses. He gets rejected often enough by Zelda, at least, but in his mind it just never hurts to ask.

Miiight be a bit socially unaware of the culture surrounding asking for things. In his mind, if you want anything, even if you know the person probably won’t give it to you, you can still ask. Doesn’t understand if people get upset at him. He gets that being asked over and over would be annoying (like Zelda’s annoyance at the kiss thing) but if it’s just the one time why are people upset? They can just say no???

Reacts to getting kisses the same way he does when receiving anything else. “Wow, thanks :)”

Big appetite. He can and will eat triple the amount of food the others eat. He’s not greedy, and he’ll definitely share if asked, but he might ask for something in return.

Will absolutely pick random things up off the ground with no regard for if he should or not.

It seems like he just lives in the palace with Zelda and the king, but he’s not very settled-in. He mostly just crashes on their couch and goes places they tell him to.

He’s actually not weird-looking, it’s just the animation style of the games. (Hyrule isn’t a bundle of pixels, after all.) Pretty much everyone can agree that he’s cute in a way that would make old women give him things. Think less like-like cute and more parental instinct inducing cute.

Speaking of, he mostly resembles Legend with a lot of Hyrule mixed in, but with much blonder hair and somehow even fluffier bangs.

The color of his clothing sometimes just changes. He never notices and will act confused if anyone points it out.
