NINTENDO! I need a series of this!!!!

I'm so obsessed with the Linked Universe, but can you imagine if a movie or series would come out!!!

What Artstyle would you think should it be in though?

Something like Arcane?

Or maybe a collage of Artstyles like in Spiderverse?

...That would emphasise the differences between the Links...

Or Puss in Boots? I really liked the Animation of the Sequel!!!

Or maybe something 2D?

What is your opinion? Tell me about your ideas!

@linkeduniverse would love to know your opinion on this!

Linked Universe Anime Opening

normally i just work on whatever i whimsy, but for once in my life i actually want to see all these through = decision paralysis!! woo!!

hesitant to post wips since theyre all in dire need of cleanup, but if theres any yall want to see finished sooner rather than never, please let me know ! :3 complexity/time sink varies but i will not lie, some of these have the potential to be just as insane as game night or fireball

Game Night: CHAIN ATTACK!!!

i am,,, withering away but ITS DONE ITS DONE IM FREE FROM THE CURSE (<<< still haunted by wips) clocking in at 32+ hours, this sucker has been getting pushed around for 10 months-

while theres some things i would have done differently if i could redo this from scratch, i still had a BLAST cramming in as much detail as i could tolerate >:) some highlights / cut ideas / ramblings are below the cut, but please zoom for details! (if tumblr doesnt shred it to bits)

gonna be real i locked so hard onto drawing ripped jeans that i forgot i could have just shoved legend into a skirt and called it a day

SOCKS. SOCKS. the amount of Joy anytime i figured out how to personalize them with game references: legend (hibiscus), twilight (ordon goats), and four (force gems)

i WAS going to put time in a turtleneck, but had an epiphany and started digging for the most obnoxious hawaiian shirts i could find,,, ft. a sea flower (wind waker) and a saturation boosted plumm (twilight princess)!

yeah so warriors got the sweater instead of the skintight shirt, sorry gang

speaking of if i ever say im going to draw a cableknit sweater again, somebody PLEASE shake some sense into me- warriors sweater was a NIGHTMARE since my art program has an astonishing lack of good brushes (and yet here i am still using it)

MOST of the text has been modified using the twilight princess cipher because yeah. i was procrastinating shading. also the other ciphers were in japanese- times shirt is cropped, but reads "its 5 oclock somewhere"

winds lobster shirt :) that is all i just think its neat

wilds jacket :) link w(ild) 2017, aka the release year of botw

jewelry! sky has the fireshield earrings, and wild has the amber earrings~ could barely squeeze the bombos and quake medallions onto legend, and wind got the joy pendant

hyrule :D embroidery on his sweatpants because i was struck by whimsy- also i 100% thought his shield was purple tinted for weeks while drawing this because the page i used as reference was set at night, and i was originally basing his sweater on his shield- scrapped the cross pattern after several failed attempts but kept the color ^^

the chips are bbq because im biased (reads "crisps" in twilight princess cipher for no real reason except whimsy)

bless my dearest homie for game reccs because the og plan was to have them all be loz games! titles include wii sports resort, elebits, super mario party, smash bros ultimate, just dance 2016 (its box art is colorful ok), and myth makers orbs of doom (I HATE THIS GAME WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING, as i should, anyways i should play it again). four is suggesting orbs of doom, buddy aint even playing,,,

kinda was hoping to play around with hair colors and skin tones a bit more, but again, see the hour count- ill get em next time surely,,, also blue vs violet eyes for legend already had me in decision paralysis

the whole gang was gonna have friendship bracelets with color combos based on dynamics i found neat but oops! didnt finish the layer :')

thats a wrap! didnt yap about everything but im curious what yall catch onto- anyways surely ive learned something about biting off more than i can chew (<<< lying liar who lies)

I drew him from memory, it's been a while.

Some doodle requests.

Twi has a ball and he's going to whip it at your ass and it's gonna hurt.

Wars and a scrappy lion Wind.

"Good to see you up Twi." "Thanks, good to be alive." Something isn't right here...

For the art ask: How about some transformed LU boys? Like Mer Legend, Minish Four, Fairy Hyrule, and you can figure out the rest.

Don't forget to stay hydrated & get some rest! 🖤

Transform? How about we corrupt...

I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted.

Some filler while I work on my mass amount of art requests.

Yes they are still open and will always be open. Fandom work only.

Have wolf boi

Yeet the child, round two.

@returnofthephoenix @ahrva

Thank you Lu Discord VC for picking this one out of all of my asks.

I COULDN'T FINISH IT, SO THE REST OF THE DIALOGUE IS BELOW. IM SORRY I'M LAZY Thinking because like- Legend spent an entire adventure in Hytopia (Literally a fashion based kingdom) so he'd probably have the best fashion sense out of any of the Links.

Didn't want to ruin Wild's beautiful face so I proceeded to made his hand see-thru.

Mind my Print/Cursive handwriting...

Dialogue:

Twi: "Why am I the one who has the wear the disguise?" Wild: "Because you look the least suspicious!" Twi: "I don't really understand- This doesn't fit me at all. There's no way-" Wild: "Twilight! Trust me, you're perfect for this!" Twi: "If you say so…" *After some modifications* Wild: 'Okay done!' Wild: "Perfect! Straight eye catching." "You'll fit right in!" Twi: "You're sure?" Wild: "Definitely." Legend: "Something's missing." Wild: "Oh? Like what?" *Pause, Wind enters* Wind: "How about this?" Legend: "Where'd you find that?" Wind: "Four found it; said it was a midnight rose." Legend: "I like it." *he smirks* Legend: "Wild, give me a pin." Wild: 'Kay.' Legend: Alright, looks good." *Boys enter room to the rest of the Chain* Wars: "Ooohh, someone's ready for the ball tonight." Twi: Is dying inside. *scoffs* No, I don't apologize for not sticking to the 'Warriors being the one to be picky about appearance.' Yall can fight me all you want, Legend would be the man for that. Bro spent time being ridiculed and pestered about a fashion sense for too long not to learn something. Warriors outfit and scarf was gifted to him. Bitch just looks pretty, he totally owns it too, I'll say that. He can be the one who messed with Twi's hair. :] Was originally a fic idea, but like, then I drew Twilight- It then turned into a comic.... -Which still counts as fanfiction technically- Meanwhile, if this gives you any ideas, please share them with me. Also, whoever you are. This made me choke when I read it.

For the request why not clothes swap between member of the chain ? If you want a more precise request then seeing Hyrule and Twilight swapping clohes (with the clothes adjusted to their height so they still fit the wearer even when swapped) would be cool !

Although everything you want to do with concept would be great so feel free to play with it as much as you'd like 👍.

ohhhhhh

Wolf Twi wolf twi wolf twi

Here you go! Have Time too.

Art request: Malon! She’s the best! Maybe her meeting Wolfie? Or her interacting with Wind?

Idk, you don’t have to do either of those, just giving you ideas 😅

He's a big boi reference used

TW: Blood/Injury

---0--w--0---

His feet dragged along the ground, they were tired. Tired of running. Striving to find somewhere safe, somewhere to rest, breathe.

"Wild."

Twilight's voice went up an octave, his anxiety evident.

"It's on the surface?"

"Yes." Wild dragged a hand along the rough edge of the rocks.

"They moved up from this last night and then called in all the resources."

Twilight glanced up at the sky, then around the many cracks along the mountain.

"So someone is out there." Wild conceded.

Twilight looked too Wild.

"I thought there was a hidden entrance down here? I thought... There were rumors of secret entrances in the caverns. Rumors of them bringing others here." 

Wild was hoping Twilight was wrong.

Wild's voice stuttered. "No. The entrances maybe, but not- not bringing people to them." 

"I'm not surprised there would be, with what's been going on. Losing everyone…"

Wild took in a shuddering breath. 

"You're sure?"

"I am."

A large crash of trees could be heard in the distance.

"They're chasing us."

"I know." Twilight breathed.

Wild worriedly glanced back at him. Looking Twilight up and down, trying to atleast get a vague idea of how he was fairing.

"We have to move, faster, if they catch up to us there's no escaping them." He said.

Wild stopped to look back at him.

"How's your leg?"

Twilight gave Wild a defiant look.

"It's fine."

Twilight was breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his face. The grimace he wore on his face evident of the pain he was in. They were moving a bit faster than walking pace, but Twilight's struggle was true- he couldn't go on much longer.

"It's not." Wild replied.

Twilight huffed, it stuttered and wheezed.

"There's no use in worrying about it, there's nothing we can do right now. No potions, no elixirs, nothing. I just have to push through." He was leaning deeper against the rocks as he dragged himself further along.

"But-" 

"No Wild. If they catch up to us, you need to keep moving, find the entrance. We're the only ones left, the only ones left to solve this issue. If I'm taken, then you need to keep going."

Wild's face was struck with frustrated emotion.

"I can't- I can't leave you behind."

Twilight looked to Wild with the most serious expression he could muster.

"You will."

Wild looked forward again, frustrated tears boiling over the chance of having to leave his friend- brother behind. Just like the rest of them.

"Okay." Was all he said in reply. 

There was a pause as Twilight caught his breath.

"Promise me."

Wild waited a moment, his brain spinning with the situation they had managed to find themselves in. 

"I promise."

They continued on in silence, the rustling of grass and crumbling rocks beneath their feet, the only other sound was of Twilight's heavy breathing. Screams could be heard in the distance. Wild rushed to find the entrance to the cavern, it was their only chance. The last place to look, the last place to go. If only, if only they had something, anything to help them along the way. Anything to help Twilight, to ease him of his pain. Minutes passed.

The lack of time they had was evident, there was no way they could make it at the pace they were currently going. Wild wouldn't leave Twilight behind, he couldn't. Twilight was all he had, vise versa. No one was left.

Twilight openly whimpered, as he took a stumbling step. His leg was mangled, bleeding, as it buckled under him. He crashed to the dirt below.

"No, no, no, Twilight please! Get up, we have to keep going."

Wild cried out in panic, tears streaming down his face. He scrambled and pulled at Twilight to get him to get up, to keep walking, to keep going. 

"Please, please, we are almost there I promise. We can make it, just a little bit further Twi, Please."

Twilight didn't reply, trying to control his breathing. He made no move to follow Wild's insistent grabbing and pulling. He was nauseous with pain, he couldn't move his leg any further. He inhaled with a stuttering breath, and moved to unclasp the strap around his shoulder holding the Master Sword. His ears were ringing as the sheathed Master Sword fell from his back to the ground.

His vision was hazy, but he was stubborn.

Twilight shakily grasped the sword and pushed it to Wild's chest from where he was leaning over him. He could see Wild's lips moving, but he couldn't hear a word that was being said. The constant ringing grew louder as his grasp on the sword wavered, and his world tilted. 

"Twilight, Twilight, TWILIGHT, no, no, no, no, no-"

Twilight fell forward into Wild's chest, barely conscious but breathing. While his hand slipped from the sword and clattered to the ground once again- he held onto Wild the best he could. His gloved hand fisted into the fabric of Wild's bloodied blue tunic.

"Go."

That was l he said as he went limp in Wild's trembling arms. Wild screamed, cried, and gave a frustrated yell. He was sobbing, he curled around Twilight. 

Another scream, this time closer.

He sobbed, and gently laid Twilight into the gravel filled grass. He grabbed the Master Sword and ran. He ran along the mountain's rocky surface as fast as he could, stumbling and tripping along the way. There, in the distance he would see it, a glowing crack in the surface of the rock. He looked to the bracelet around his wrist, and the sheathed Master Sword held tightly in his hand. And he ran straight into the crack within the wall of the rock. His world spun around him, colors and images whirling, mixing around him. 

With a sudden lurch he came out the other side. The world around him was calm, the sun shining, birds chirping, not a monster in sight. A stark contrast to what he and Twilight were experiencing moments before.

Twilight.

Wild sank to the fluffy green grass below him and sobbed. He clutched the Master Sword to his chest and grieved. They were gone, all of them were gone. He was alone, alone again.

I've never actually written anything for LU yet that wasn't in comic form or something like a short drabble, so this is a change! There's no clear setting, it's supposed to just jump into it randomly. I like to write things like that. There's no intro, no context in the beginning. You learn as you read, and sometimes you have no idea what's really going on. Sometimes you have no idea who's leading the conversation. It's a mystery.

I'm a very heavy angst type of person, so I hope you enjoyed it regardless. I even made a little piece of art to go with it.

-Noir

Messing with MMD in my free time. DL

Random thoughts, that I think about a lot.

As a writer, reader, and player of pretty much every game.

-Wars got his scarf from Impa/Zelda, legit had it laid out for the chosen hero just waiting whenever he showed up.

-Time wasn't the only one present in Hyrule Warriors, Wind was a huge part of it too. I have no idea why so many ppl either miss it or dismiss it. For the fact in the original game Young Link was a DLC exclusive. You wouldn't have even seen him unless you bought it. (Later the Switch ver came out with almost all DLC included)

^ Note the original game includes both 3ds and WiiU. The Switch includes all three lines later on.

-Wind, because of this (me including Spirit Tracks) would have been on FOUR adventures. >:V

^ Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Hyrule Warriors

-Yall can't just exclude Wind when I see so much 'Mask' content :U

-Please include more Twilight with his ball n' chain weapon, it's legit super handy for smashing the HECK out of things. << Also this bitch has a boomerang that makes mini tornadoes very handy for putting out fires. Frankly one of the most annoying rescues in the game.

-Wind, Wars, Time, Hyrule, and Legend can all channel magic. Or all use magic (With the exception of Twilight) for battle or tools.

-Magic for Wars is seen as something he can use to make quick and powerful attacks FAST for a short amount of time. It can be found in bottles, or just recharge over time.

-Yall please Wind can do so much cool shit with his Phantom Sword

IDK SEEMS LIKE GOOD FIC CONTENT TO ME

-BOTW, probably doesn't apply to LU. But in the original translation Link literally says he got all his memories back lol. I'll forever laugh at this fact.

-Wolfie, can see dead people/spirits (Including Wind)

-Wolfie is anyone familiar with this form? Bitch moves fast af boi with a spin/charged attack.

I will fight you.

I'll add more later.

Oh yeah, and happy 15th anniversary to Phantom Hourglass

Reposting as a lone post Saw this by @dreamkittymint, and couldn't help myslf.

I couldn't help myself.

I was brainstorming a linked universe mlp au and this happened.

sorry not sorry

So you requested here is a drawing request

Maybe some angsty twi patching up wild after he got injured doing something stupid again

Part 1/?

Scrolling through LU Tumblr be like-

People are taking the Four explanation way too far. Saying Jojo is trans-phobic and Queerbating. Seriously? Can you get your dang head out of the clouds?

For example, "Well the group laughed at wild for the Vai clothes, thats trans-phobic."

You've gotta to be kidding me man, its clear that there is nothing trans-phobic about it.

You think it's a little funny that your friend is carrying around revealing female clothing, maybe he cross dresses? Maybe they belong to someone else? They all have a laugh about it. I dont get how the heck that's trans-phobic. You don't have to be trans or queer to cross dress, maybe you just like feminine clothing. (This can go the opposite way, maybe you like more masculine clothing.) You can also be queer and cross dress too! Thats perfectly fine! Are you trans and wear feminine clothing to show your identity and feel more with yourself? A-Ok girl, you go for it!

It's just something seen as unexpected from Wild, so they tease him about it, they're interested, wanting to know the story. Wild gets embarrassed about it. There's nothing more too it. It literally a draw back to what Urbosa says in Wild's game, she also teases him about "wearing that outfit again."

Along with that, Jojo saying that Four isn't a system is apparently putting down those with D.I.D. I dont see her hating on the headcanon, she's simply explaining that, that wasn't her original plan for his character and explaining how the system works in further detail.

I like to think that more than half of you know, that she's had lots of the story planned out for a very long time. And the comic itself is a much slower process. He most likely wasn't going to be a mental system the entire time. Is that bad? Do all characters that share a similar trait with Four have to have a system, no, they don't. Can characters be a part of a mental system? Of course they can! Can there be headcanons of Four being a system? Of course there can be! Can those with D.I.D. still relate to him? Sure, that's up to you!

Along with that, some were pointing out the the chart about Twilight not being a Furry, Werewolf, or Otherkin/Therian. How that those people were clearly displayed poorly, and maybe even being made fun of within the post. I get that, and I understand that. I'm a furry myself, I make furry art, and I make fursuits. And the way Jojo displayed a furry as a smelly person in a gross costume with flies flying around it? While it may be a little disheartening, its funny. I can easily see it as a joke. And even if it wasn't, you don't HAVE to like them anyways.

Then again, being a Furry doesn't mean you need a fursuit, or even a fursona, you don't need to be an artist etc. All being a Furry means, is you like Anthropomorphic animals. There's two definitions of being a Furry, the identity and what a "Furry" is, a furry IS an Anthropomorphic animal, and an Anthropomorphic animal is an animal with human like characteristics. Some of those characteristics can be: human like emotions, talking, and emotional expressions.

This goes for Otherkin/Therians too, though they are completely different from the furry definition. Many therians don't identify as fully human, or don't identify as human at all. And some, may just feel as though they have a deeper connection with animals than they do with their human self. Theres plenty more to it, no one is the same.

Theres a whole lot more I can say to this. But I think that a lot of people just need to take a chill pill. Stop trying to force false facts in between the lines that don't exist. Be respectful to other peoples headcanons, be respectful to whats canon. I'm sorry that it came off a little dissapointing to a lot of people, even I'm slightly disappointed myself, I thought it might have been a bit more detailed than what it was. Sadly its not, its just what it is. Don't try to force headcanons on to people, dont try to shove what you think is better story wise down other peoples throats. Let's not harrass people, and call Jojo phobic.

Could you just calm down and take a breather?

TLDR: The community is taking it a bit to far. Share your two-cents, but don't harrass people with it.
