Time - Link

I simply refer to Time as Link, since he is my original. He is the epitome of the Hero and probably the strongest of all of them both mentally and physically.

He has practiced with a sword since the age of ten and thus has a total of eighteen years of experience. He is steady with a bow and holds an arsenal of tools to solve puzzles. Time is by far the best at problem solving and has the best reaction time. He also has good impulse-control and thinks things through before he leaps.

While he is not afraid of talking he only speaks what he needs to. He is very polite and soft-spoken. He has gained a habit of bowing his head a lot due to doing this around Zelda so much. 

Link suffers from anxiety, though it is very minor for him and he can easily work past it. He also has PTSD ranging from nightmares to hallucinations to flashbacks. His case is not quite severe as these are few and far between, but one trigger will affect Link greatly and make him extremely paranoid. Link does not suffer from depression.

Twilight - Brutus

Don’t ask me where the name came from because I have no idea, but I refer to this Link as Brutus. 

He has been studying the blade for eleven years and has learned quite a bit from the Hero’s Shade (AU Time), and has added his own flair and finesse in fighting. His aim with a bow is better than his swordsmanship. 

Brutus is good at puzzle solving but also gets frustrated and unmotivated easily. He’s impatient and prefers to brute force things if that’s an option. He doesn’t really look before he leaps but he makes up for this with improvisation skills. 

Brutus is an extremely open and caring person, not afraid to talk nor speak his mind on a subject. He doesn’t mind coming off as rude. He has very strong opinions and will always make a strong case to defend his point if he believes that it’s what’s right.

This Link suffers from no ailments other than Caring Too Much and Too Much Courage, bordering him on reckless. This has gone down slightly with age but if he was called forth to defend Hyrule again, he would jump into action immediately.

Wild - Wyatt

Wyatt is... a strange case.

He is the least like any other Link due to being so alienated from other generations. He has heard of the tale of the Hero and he has heard of the Golden Goddesses, but nothing more than that. The only thing that Wyatt had to go on was sheer willpower that somewhat converted to courage, but that was it.

Wyatt is most proficient with a sword though his arsenal is much wider than that. While the other Links are good with improvisation, Link is good at experimentation and finding new ways around things. However, this does not really make him much of a problem solver. He jumps into things and hopes it turns out, solving a puzzle in parts rather than as a whole. This has changed with experience and time, so he has become much more patient.

He prefers not to speak at all if he can get away with it. He has come to trust people more with age but during the events of the game, he had no trust in any person he met. Wyatt prefers to sign than talk and his trust is immediately boosted with anyone who also knows how to sign. Wyatt is afraid of saying something to someone that will put them off and believe that his judgement is not the best. While not talkative, Wyatt is very open-minded and accepting as his past has not allowed him to be so. 

Wyatt suffers from depression, anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Almost all of this has gone away with age, regaining his memories and finding friends. He’s still sad at times, believing he’s too displaced from time he grew up in, but the friends of his past and Zelda have helped to ease him on this.
