Hibiscus(alttp/tfh/oos/ooa/la) is a mystery when the gang first meets. She's wary, weary, and skittish. She's quiet and distant when she does talk, which is rare. Rescue and recovery from Koholint was... rough, to say the least. Not to mention that this new quest couldn't wait for her to finish healing before it began.

Dealing with heartbreak, survivor's guilt, a severe infection that led to her left getting getting amputated, and a direct lightning strike... and then being sent on a whole new quest with a gang of strangers sharing her deadname. Fun. You can't blame her for being withdrawn. You would be too, if every moment of your life was spent in agony and struggling with neurological damage.

Yep, they have Shadow !!! I haven't played the games so it's based more off of the manga (which I'm gonna reread alongside the other zelda mangas), the reason I didn't include Shadow in Four's lil character thingy is because Shadow isn't a part of their system sooo

Shadow: 16, she/they/he, gender is made up but leans feminine, shapeshifting little shit do not trust them to stay the same height

What if his curse seeped into the veins of life itself, masquerading the gods like puppets?

Blessing hero after hero with unshakable courage. Blessing generations of princesses with wisdom beyond their years. Blessing all Gerudo men with addictive power.

...

What if it's rooted in the very sword sworn to destroy it?

List of Links

Idk, this is just a concept that's been spinning in the washing machine in my head for a while so I've decided to write it into an au. Well, maybe just write out a general story and characters. Follow if you're interested !!! I'll be posting the designs and a few tidbits of all the Links soon :]

The hero of Hyrule

Games - The Legend of Zelda, Adventure of Link

Age - 19

Height - 5'5"

Gender + pronouns - Nonbinary, they/them

Nickname(s) - Fairy/Mage/Wanderer

Physical appearance -

(Not pictured: they wear leather gloves and a collection of enchanted bracelets. I couldn't find a way to pose their hands in a good way)

Colour scheme - Mage's skin is a deep tan from living outside their whole life, and their hair is a red tinted, deep shade of brown. Their visible eye is bright green, and the other is- well, you'll find out in time. Their shirt is a light cream, though it's heavily stained with dirt and grass. They have three vests that they wear interchangeably over the shirt, like the armour in game. Their boots are brown leather and their cloak is a natural dyed yellow tinted green.

Character overview - A silent hero, Mage is a kind, gentle soul. They spent most of their life wandering the world in search of... something. They're not sure what. They're not sure when. They travel far and wide, just wandering for as long as they can remember. Mage's sense of wander and curiosity led to them being universally loved in Hyrule as a lost child who helped everyone and couldn't sit still. Their second adventure nearly sent them running away for good. But nope, they stayed and won that fight, even if they could no longer return to the land and people who'd essentially raised them from the age of 10. The danger was too high, with a curse on their blood that caused monsters to hunt them. Also, they are nonverbal.
