I have thought about this. I prefer to think that Time did find peace, but he knew he couldn’t pass on until he had trained Twilight. After all, events have now been altered: he now knows Twilight, whereas before, their very first meeting was in TP. There’s little chance Time-as-the-Shade wouldn’t recognize him. In order to preserve the loop, Twilight would have to tell him how the Shade acted. Time would know how to pretend, acting stern as the Hero’s Shade and as if it was their first meeting (while being secretly very happy to see his descendant again).

Why? Because I demand happy endings.

One of the saddest part of LU that the fandom rarely touches on, is the fact that no matter what Twilight does Time will always end as the hero’s shade.

And given how we call upon the spirit of the dead hero, there is a slightly possibility that even Time himself already knows he will not find peace by the time he dies. (explained by the howling stones)

Yet I wonder if it will shown later in the comic how strong that realization will hit Twilight. Poor boy already thought his "dead" would be the cause of it, so it’s clear that he thinks about it.

We know that Wild knows a lot more than others about Twilights adventure, but does he also knows about the hero’s shade? Twilight clearly hasn’t mentioned it to Time and I doubt he will unless it’s very necessarily.

Also, Wind’s Phantom Sword needs new source of spirit power. So an arc about the dead will surly be a thing, maybe then we will get a better look on how much Twilight thinks he can change Time’s fate or if he than realizes that he could never do anything about it.

So Four right. He's like actually four people in one body. Like a bunch of toddlers in a trench coat. Anyways that's not the point, i think he talks to himself out loud. Or atleast used to.

Before he met the chain right, just imagine hes doin his own thing in the forge, minding his own business and then all the sudden he yells at the top of his lungs

"FUCK YOU! BLUEBERRIES ARE FUCKING PURPLE"

what's actually going on, is Red and Blue are having an argument while Green is finishing work. Vio has a fucking headache because he absolutely hates his brothers sometimes

OR

They do split and do the whole "oh lets swap clothes to see if anyone noticed" thing twins do. But ×4

Twilight can tell because that man will transform into wolfie to figure it out

Wind definitely plays along, but it gets irritating really quick because he'll randomly shout out, "ARE YOU GUYS TWINS?!?!?!"

Yeaaaaaa.....moving on-

The rest of the chain? Legend doesn't give a shit until Wars makes a bet. Then he's all over the colors trying to figure out which ones which because he is not about to lose a bet to WARS of all people

Wild, Hyrule, Sky, and Time? Probably dont care. In fact, i think it would go like this;

"Huh.....anyways-"

Thats what you get for now >:]

Gimmie's character's to write about-

I know it's like the third time I made a drawing about this but it's one of my favorite headcanons

In Wild’s era, it is common etiquette to leave a bite of food on your plate to signal that you’re done and satisfied with your meal—if you finish your whole plate, you obviously are still hungry, and you need another serving. With a group of travelers around a cooking pot on the road (with many of them contributing to the pot as well), it makes sense that everyone should get as much as they want, because the cook will always make an effort to ensure there will be more to go around and lots of leftovers afterwards. The people of Wild’s era pride themselves on fiercely taking care of taking care of one another, even a stranger they’ll never meet again, and to do that they can ensure they have a full belly and a happy heart for the road ahead.

Some of the other heroes (Hyrule, Twilight maybe or Warrior or Wind) instead come from a culture where not finishing one’s plate is extremely, extremely rude and ungrateful. Food is a precious commodity, nevermind hot, just prepared food—to leave a single scrap of food on your plate for any other reason that it was poisoned would be a slap in the face to the cook that has spent so much time and effort to prepare the meal. To deny any offered food would amount to a similar crime.

Anyways. This is how I imagine their first few days going, before they realize they’re having a communication issue:

Wild, tapping away at his Slate: wow, these guys really are hungry! I better up the portions, I was hoping for leftovers but they’re eating enough to feed a group three times their size! I wonder if next time I should… Twilight: (slumped over) wow that new guy sure likes to cook, huh? Wind: Ough *burp* I’m so full.... Warrior: you don’t say? I feel like a pig fattened for the slaughter Hyrule: (face down on the ground in a food coma) ……. ……. …… Time: (hesitantly) you know, you boys can just say no when he offers you another serving… The others, in panicked unison: NO Warrior: (scoffing) Hylia, Time, who raised you?

Anyways. General hilarity ensues until they figure out the miscommunication that, no, an empty plate doesn't mean Wild should silently pile it with more food. Discuss.

Have some Downfall Duo headcanons while I try to finish the next chapter of my fic.

Aussies. They're aussies.

Legend has given Rule friendship rings that he enchanted with protection spells

When Hyrule returned to his era, he single-handedly edited every history book about the Hero of Legend to make them more accurate

Legend was the one to make the Link dolls for Hyrule, although he probably had the help of other magic users

Hyrule actually knows about the bunny form, he's just never mentioned it and is waiting to use it for blackmail

Legend is three months older than Rule (ALttP was released in November and LoZ was released in February). Meanwhile, Rule is three centimeters taller than Legend. They constantly use this to torment each other

They have burned down a building on accident together (they were not allowed alone together for the next month)

 Hyrule’s hair is the softest, fluffiest thing you’ve ever felt, and Legend’s hair feels like rabbit’s fur

^ They love to touch each other's hair, they show affection by ruffling each other's hair, head pats, playful noogies

They like to cuddle when one of them is sick/injured/mentally unwell

Sometimes they hold hands because it stops Hyrule from wandering off and getting lost

They pierced each others ears at some point but it ended with awful infections so they pretend it never happened

I have more but I don't want to make the list too long.

Just thinking about how some of the Links probably would've grown taller if it wasn't for the fact they were heroes.

Genetics do play a factor and none of the Links are tall, but the tallest Links are the ones who had normal childhoods. Time is sort of the exception since Jojo mentioned in this post he made sure to grow up stronger/healthier the second time around.

As for the others, they've had the pressure of being a hero since they were little kids. They had to face life threatening situations on the daily, constantly got injured, got limited sleep because they had to stay alert, and possibly had a less than stable supply of food since they were always on the road. Definitely not good conditions to grow under.

Wild isn't as short as the others because, since he was training as a knight, he always had access to food and good sleep. But the sheer stress of being the chosen one at such a young age definitely could've stunted his growth.

If they had all had the opportunity to grow up like regular kids, there's a chance they'd all be around Sky's height or taller.

Team Trials- Chapter 4: Four

Chapter 4 HAD to be Four. Here you go 😁

Warnings: Suggestion of injury, injury, blood

They had been ambushed by monsters. AGAIN. Four was defending the camp when he heard shouting behind him.

“We need to send more to the field! We can’t have everyone here tending to him.”

“We need as many hands as possible. This isn’t a minor injury.”

“Ask for help- you know you can’t hold them off!”

“What is happening? Who is injured? Are they going to die? Please tell me they won’t die!”

“Let the others work this out. Protect the camp!”

“Why isn’t anyone out here with me?!”

“Everything will work out. Hylia is with us and against the enemy!”

  “Shut up!” Four muttered to himself, knowing that his emotions would either help or absolutely destroy every chance they had of making it out alive. But then he reconsidered what one of them said… “Ask for help- you know you can’t hold them off!”

He considered using the true power of the Four Sword. His hand was drawing on the power in his grip. The hilt burned his hand.

“Why not?” he asked, grabbing again. He would defend the camp, even if that required them.

He divided into four. Red was trying to encourage the group, going along with the situation. At least he wasn’t a problem.

Vio, naturally, was wreaking havoc on the vitality of the group. He was anxious about whoever was injured, and could not focus on the moment.

Blue was calling furiously for someone at camp to help. He hacked through three to four enemies at a time, completely disregarding defending himself and thus getting little cuts and bruises everywhere.

Green was trying to calm everyone down, but his need for peace and unity did not make him the strongest fighter. He didn’t get hit, but he didn’t fight particularly effectively either. 

Someone from camp shouted furiously, then three heroes rushed over. Wars, who was the likely culprit for the yelling, Legend, who looked like he wanted to murder so much more than just the bokoblins responsible for his brother’s injury, and Sky, who was lacking his sailcloth. To Four that was a potent induction of the severity of the injury.

With the other’s aid, he could become one person again. He tried, but he forgot how. Vio panicked, Blue was in a rage, and Red got hit by a blow. Green attempted again, and it worked.

The colors combined. Four thought his strategy was flawless, but as soon as he locked back into the battle, he noticed his grip slipping on his sword. There was blood running all the way down his arm from a deep cut in his shoulder. It was agonizing. He plowed through as many enemies as he could, but as he fought he lost more blood. He collapsed after a few minutes of intense fighting. The realization that he had messed up was bitter.

The heroes who had joined him fought furiously. When the numbers of the monsters had decreased enough for the others to deal with, Sky rushed over to Four. 

Sky slipped his arm under Four. “Just hold still, okay?”

Four nodded, wincing. Sky pulled a piece of cloth from his pouch and wrapped Four’s shoulder. 

“I let my emotions control my actions… I’m sorry! I failed…” Four started, his regrets pouring out of his mouth.

“It’s hard with so much stress, I know. Calm down, you’re going to be fine!’

“But on my journey-”

Sky clasped his hands in his own. “You’re going to be fine.” Four nodded, somehow much calmer. Sky lifted him up and carried him back to camp. After Sky laid Four down and gave him a potion, Sky made his way to the outskirts of the camp and into the woods.

He chose to leave Sky alone until he came back.

But he didn’t come back.

Four searched the camp for Sky, but he couldn’t find him. He dashed to the others to tell them, but they were already gathered, grim-faced and gaunt.

“Twilight’s gone missing.”

“He won’t be hard to find,” Legend snarled angrily. “Just follow the blood trail.”

Warriors is often characterized as being vain or self-centered when it comes to his appearance, but for me that's not true. Self-conscious is how i would describe it. Before the war, I don't think he cared about his appearance at all. He wasn't nobility, and on the battlefield, appearance isn't all that important if your face is covered by a helmet.

The war came with some very unexpected developments, like getting the Master Sword, skyrocketing through the ranks, meeting Impa, meeting Zelda, and more. As the one bearing the Hero's Spirit, he can handle those things.

But then he became Helen of Troy.

Hyrule is at war because Cia is in love with him. Her attraction had more to do with his heroic actions and nature than the appearance of his reincarnations, but...

Come on, that's not what the rumor mill is saying.

Word on the street is Warriors is so drop-dead gorgeous, so bootylicious, that the kingdom is fighting a war over him. He's the face that launched 1000 ships. So everyone has high expectations when they see him.

And Farore forbid he doesn't live up to those expectations every hour of every day.

Every time he introduces himself he sees that slightly disappointed look in the other person's face that he didn't live up to hype. What a tragedy he doesn't always conform to everyone's idea of the ideal man, that he looks like a person and not the divine image of beauty incarnate.

And the comments! "I thought you'd be taller" "I thought you'd be shorter" "You have some baby fat" "You look older than I expected" "Your hair is a little messy" "Your sleeve is too wrinkly" On and on about things he used to never notice or care about. It's worse when he's at a noble gathering and Zelda is using him as a prop to drum up support for the war effort, but even on the field he can't escape it.

Farore forbid Warriors go without a shower for a few days and have helmet hair because there's a war. "You have to look presentable for the troops or it'll lower morale." Of course it'll lower morale. He's Helen of Troy. His beauty is the point. He has to look presentable.

All this results in Warriors having a lot of anxiety around his appearance. He checks himself in the mirror over and over for imperfections he didn't notice the first time. And even after that he can't shake the feeling that he's somehow doing it wrong or missed something, and everyone is secretly laughing at how silly he looks and he's embarrassing Zelda by simply being in public.

I like to imagine Wild just. Didn’t speak upon first meeting with the chain. No one thought anything of it of course. They just believed he was mute.

But one day.

Wild and let’s say, Legend are patrolling together, and Wild hits his arm on a tree or something, and yells out “FUCK” in the most posh, British accent that ever was spoken. And Legend is just in shock, because 1. He thought this guy was mute, and 2. He didn’t even know it was possible to sound so fancy while saying fuck.

And then Wild turns to him, and says (while still in a heavy British accent): “No one will ever believe you.”

Anyways I love Wild with a British accent and also a potty mouth

I can see Wind, Wild, Hyrule, and occasionally Legend going full theatre kid in their explanations and acting out scenes from their adventures. The one who did the adventure would be the narrator and would assign the others their parts and lines. Legend and Wild would be so pleased to have an excuse to wear their many, many outfits!

Before some of the boys figure out Wolfie is Twilight they try to sit him down and explain things that happened before he was born. Twilight indulges them in that form becuase it makes them happy to think a wolf is actually listening to them explain history.

Example:

Wind: So you’d think the gods would come down and kill this guy for being so evil right? Literally tried to take over the entire country just to plunge it into darkness right?

Wolfie (Twilight): [slow blinks]

[Wind slaps the board he’s using to present]

Wind: NOT SO FAST BROTHER, BECAUSE INSTEAD OF DOING THAT, THEY FLOODED THE FUCKING WORLD-

Wolfie (Twilight): [pretend shocked huffs]
