Happy births to the Zelda CD-i games! Drew 5 different CD-i Links from 5 different Links Meet AUs(yes, that includes the mouse). I like the sillies. They are now 31 years old :) I’ll say which one belongs to which AU under the cut, as well as some rambling about them. Also, gif version of this.

[Image Description: 3 colored drawings of Linked Spirit's Links in modern clothing. 1st: Sky, Hero, and Mouse sit while Hope lays sprawled holding a cracked gold phone up. Sky wears a blue and white varsity style jacket and jeans. Hope wears an opened red flannel button up, with a green crop top or bra, and green pants with red leg warmers and converse. Hero looks down at Hope, wearing a green hoodie and brown pants, with a light blue scarf. Mouse leans over, wearing a green beanie and vest, with a brown shirt and jeans. 2nd: Smith, wearing a green sweater and black pants, holding a side satchel, walks behind Forest and Bean. Forest wears brown cargo shorts, a long jean vest, and a green shirt, looking forward at Engie and Wind. Bean looks down at them with a smile, wearing a brown hat, green flannel and brown pants. Engie looks back at Forest, using a cane to walk. He wears a light blue button up and loose red tie with dark blue pants. He has a red backpack. Wind has a blue hearing aid, and wears a gold loose button up with rolled sleeves over his lobster shirt. He wears dark blue sweats and is in an almost dance-like pose. 3rd: Ordon, in a brown jacket with a green shirt, follows Glider, who holds his slate-phone and points ahead. Ordon's hair is short, and he has a beard instead, and wears cowboy boots. Glider wears a green tunic-dress with two brown belts. Glider has a light blue cropped hoodie with the sword pattern, and wears brown hiking boots with skinny jeans. Rinku looks back over her shoulder at them, wearing a pink button up dress and a flower pattern at the edge. End ID]

[Image Description: Colored digital art of Linked Spirit Links in various Dark World transformations, with one group picture with a dark background and a series of close-ups. Engineer is a humanoid robot with a single red wheel leg and gold eyes wearing his engineer tunic and hat. He looks nervous, holding a hand up to look at. Wind is a seagull with a red sash around his neck with a gold swirl clasp. He sits on Wolf Ordon's back, one wing spread in gesture. Ordon's wolf form is the same as canon. Next to him is Bunny Link Rinku, wearing her red vest sitting on the ground. Beside her is Hope, who has red diamond wings, and a half-skeletal face with purple fur-like skin. She is crouched, one leg up, arm rested on her knee. The triforce glows on their hand. Glider is a blue deer, with white spots and brown legs, a white marking up his chest like the Champion Tunic. His antlers are shaped similar to the wings of the Hylian Crest. On their back is Mouse, a small brown mouse with white markings. Forest is a Stal, wearing his usual outfit, covered in flowers and vines. Behind him, Bean is a Golden Wolf puppy, looking happy. Smith is a multicolor hummingbird with a minish tail, hovering above Sky. Sky is a Remlit, with his sailcloth tied around his back, and a blue marking in the center of his forehead. End ID.]

Dark World/Twilight Forms! Hope is a partially transformed Anti-Fairy (ala alttp fairy lore), the Triforce is doing a lot of background heavy work here.

Engie was nearly a Tiger tho (under the cut)

[Image Description: 2 line art panels of the Linked Spirit AU. Panel 1: Mouse looks casual, saying "Hey I know where-" Off-screen Hero's Spirit screams "WHAT? Who?!" "Stop screaming I'm your Mouse. I know where your body is." Panel 2: Mouse, in mouse form, stands in Hero's hand. He waves happily. Hero looks over his shoulder, grimacing, parts of their face cracking. "Ok. Who Else has been a animal" he says "Is it all of you? I swear if I-" the rest is cut off from the panel. End ID]

[Image Description: a 15 panel lineart comic for Linked Spirit. 1: Hope wears Sky's glasses, mocking "I'm Mr. Boring and-" 2: Hope turns to the viewer, eyes large and quizzical, "Wow- you can't see squat with these." 3: Hope cries "My eyes hurt!" as Sky takes back the glasses, holding them away from Hope. Glider stands next to him, poised to take them. "Thats not how they Work." Sky says. 4: "Hey!" Sky complains. Glider stands in Skyward Sword costume with the glasses on, giving a thumbs up, the words "Cosplay complete" in brackets. 5: "I wanna try!" Bean exclaims, putting on the glasses, "Woaah weird" 6: in a small crop of their hands, Bean hands the glasses to Forest "Here". Forest scratches his head, the glasses oversized on his face. "Hm-" he hands the glasses off. 7: Sky squints, "Who has it now?!" Engineer stands nervously with the glasses on in front of him. "Here- I'll take the fall," whispers Rinku, holding out a hand. 8: Wind takes the glasses from Engie, looking up in them, "lemme try first. Oh that's not that weird. like a telescope." 9: "Here" Wind pushes the glasses onto Rinku's face. She yelps "ACk-" 10: Rinku frustratedly hands the glasses toward Sky's hand. Minish Smith is on his thumb. "Sky just take them." "Thank-" 11: "Seriously?!" Sky shouts. Smith stands on the ground, holding the glasses in front of his face, magnifying his head. 12: Ordon picks up the glasses from the ground. 13: He wipes the lenses while Mouse looks at him with beady eyes. 14: "No" Ordon says. Sky stands next to him, putting his glasses on. "Oh finally" Mouse looks dejected "Awww" 15: Ordon hands over half moon glasses, "Sigh. Try mine." Mouse looks up in the glasses, with a light pause. "They're normal." "They're reading glasses." Ordon replies. End ID]
