[Has been wanting to touch on the offscreen Linkies for fun but had no idea where to begin, so I am thanking you lots for this!]

HW Link isn't the only Link that didn't make the cut for the focus of this AU, but he definitely exists as a canonical figure that could've been involved. I unfortunately can't disclose the Watsonian reasoning behind why he isn't due to spoilers, but the Doylist reason is that I'm just. Not as confident in my characterisation of him as I am with the onscreen party aslfkjdkl; not super conducive for the intended goal here (collective character study)! That, and I feel like my grasp of any resulting dynamics wouldn't be as nuanced.

I love rotating him (and the six other offscreen heroes) in my head though :) Maybe I'll do some bonus shenanigans with them. Who knows! Here's a peek at Commander in the meantime.

will there be more of them?

There will be! I actually have a Warriors and Twilight wip right now, but it needs to be rewritten since it's been a while since I wrote started it. 😅

Love the drabbles, can't wait for The Brave chapter 11 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Hello, hello! You're more than welcome to ask this. Always happy to know someone would be curious enough to send anything in, so thank you <3

That's more or less the gist of it! Been noodling with the concept of this AU for a while. It's described as "adjacent" because, yeah, it's not going to be a 1:1 match — in both the this is an entirely different timeline sense and the some things that were set in canon will not be canon here sense. While I enjoyed playing the game, I have some qualms about what it did with continuity, some characterisation, and worldbuilding (among other things), hence the forewarning.
