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)

   Just a bunch of Wild and Wind sketches.

Our Hero transformed a lot in TotK. At first, he was known as Zelda's knight, but he became much more. People recognize and respect him, and he plays a big role in the kingdom's growth alongside Zelda becoming an active and involved member of his community. This change from being a quiet knight to a lively community leader would really impress Twilight and Warrior. But When it comes to LU Wild, he's yet to achieve these things. His life in the Kingdom still has its challenges that he is trying to tackle. Originally, I wrote Wild to desire growth for his kingdom, much like Terry Town but on a larger scale. Surprisingly, it became quite literal in TotK!

So here's the thing: He's not a character to simply replace; he's dynamic and evolving. His life and journey have significant phases, showing growth and change. If I introduce the ToTK version of Wild in TotK, it disrupts his character development in LU. I've crafted scenes where he learns and grows from various individuals—heroes, princesses, and queens alike. The Princess of the Wild also has her own moments of growth interacting with others. Skipping to their 20s would mean ditching this growth.

I suppose Wild's a lot like Time now. Time, how he's featured in LU, is in the middle of his canon appearances. A little of who he was, and a little of who he will be. Wild too is that middle ground now that he has a trilogy for himself. But what I will say is TotK revealed more of  Wild's unique ability to be resourceful in unconventional ways. I did intentionally limit his usual resources to highlight his uniqueness. Missing an item would break any other Zelda adventure, but for Wild, anything can be a tool. No key? No problem! He’s at his best when circumstances are at their worst because unlike other heroes reliant on specific items, Wild finds a way. But now with TotK, that's his defining trait. The crazy builds in TotK perfectly showcase this…creativity… of his.

TotK definitely gives me a canon trajectory for Wild's (and his princess) goals. All in all I would still like to add some sort of TotK, even if it's small, in LU but as of now I'm still  drawing a blank. I'm not worried about it. An Idea will happen organically if it's meant to be

Fic: Wild side

Hyrule is ready to commit murder.

Collab with @koumifae Lineart: Noir Background color: Noir Sketch: Angle Character color: Angle Deconstruction!

BOOM I had a wonderful time collaborating with you! Hope we can maybe do it again in the future.

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.

SEND Drawing requests plz

**OPEN**

Can be anything, there are no limitations. Doesn't have to be LU exclusive, I will draw stuff for other fandoms/AUs.

(Tho some angst would be nice...)

I'll try to get to whatever ones, I can. Yes, they are FREE!

Enjoy a screen cap of one of my comic pages, yes I am procrastinating on finishing it.

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.

So you requested here is a drawing request

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

Inspired by this post by @triforceofchaos , Sorry it took so long for me to get to.

Request drop

This is what I spent the last 2 and a half months on. A book! Anyone following my page or are on the LU discord might have seen some of these in progress. These are 4/6 pages that LU is featured in it. This is a 36 page children's book that I wrote, illustrated, printed, cut, glued, and bound on my own. It will be published using this mock up as a pitch Title- "A helping Hand" Subtitle- "A story of the forgiven" Currently no set price, will update soon!

Note: This story is not LU focused and simply FEATURES them. I wouldn't count it as a "insert" fanfiction, more of a little bonus. This book is it's own thing and has it's own characters, but if you're looking to see LU in book form this is currently it!
