I swear, the tp maga is just... purely a masterpiece.
N.intendo is too family friendly sometimes so I will go deeper into the scars Link has (For example, at the end of totk his arm fully heals but in my portrayal I want to keep the scar from Ganon's attack at the beginning even if Rauru manages to heal it so that he doesn't feel pain).
nonverbal meme prompts ↪ they seem few & far between, so i tried to come up with as many scenarios as i could think of where dialogue wasn’t a necessary starting point. some are more uh specific than others / drabble-y, but they’re all dialogue-free ( tho ofc this does not necessarily extend to the response itself ). to reverse who sends what, send ‘ [ prompt ]+ ’ ! alter any as you see fit, & lemme know if anything’s unclear ♡

#𝐇𝟏𝐫𝐮𝐥𝟑𝐬: 𝘈 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦. A selective and private blog for 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 from 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙕𝙚𝙡𝙙𝙖 based primarly on Ocarina of Time but with inspiration taken from all games and verses available for them.
¹· carrd / ²· rules / ³· verses
An exploration in: the hero's journey, identity and legacy, courage and bravery, loyalty, duty and honor, friendship and companionship, nature, light vs. darkness, and myth and legend.
i. This blog was made for all of us to have fun so any type of racism, sexims or anything similar is not going to be tolerated here.
ii. This is a mutual only blog which means I will only interact with you if you are following me and I’m following you.
iii. I’m selective in the sense that I will follow you only if I think it’s not completely impossible for us to interact. So, if you are an oc and or rp a character from another fandom but have an idea of how our muses would be able to meet contact me.
iv. Given the nature of the source material, there may be some triggers present on this blog so follow at your own discretion. I will tag them as "trigger tw" but if I ever forget something or you have more triggers than the ones I tag please let me know.
v. In relation to the previous rule, I will not write with anyone under the age of 18 as I simply do not feel comfortable with it. If you are not of age and/or if I discover you are lying I will block.
vi. While I don’t have a problem with people reblogging memes from me, I would prefer if you did it from the original source like I do so that it doesn’t mess up with my notifications.
vii. Regarding shipping, I see Link as a difficult muse and it's not really a priority for me even if I love it. So, any relationship would have to be born from heavy plotting and chemistry between both muses and muns.
viii. I am open to iconless threads even if I like to use icons as I understand that not everyone uses them. Writing is the most important part after all.
ix. I try to adapt to what each person usually writes so I don’t mind if your starters/replies are longer or shorter than what I write as long as you give me something to work with.
x. If you sent me a meme and you liked my answer to it you are free to answer to it and make it a thread but please do it in a new post that starts for example with "continued from".
xi. New rules may be added as I see them necessary so please, even though I will inform you guys of any changes, keep an eye out in this sense.
The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people
Popping in here just to say that I have been writing (slowly because life has been a bit of a mess but I think I will have some things ready during the weekend) and that I'm still alive.
I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?

Link is a person who doesn't really like physical touch and doesn't express his feelings often (either because he feels they're his own burden to bear or because he finds it difficult to put them into words) so if he ever open ups to your muse or has any type of gesture, whatever small it may be like, for example, holding their hand, know it's because they mean a lot to him and he trust them completely.
Also HOW DID I NOT MENTION THIS, the backstory of Volvagia being a small dragon young Link saves from being sold and becomes friends with? Absolutely canon in this blog because it's amazing how he refuses to kill it when he's older because of that connection but eventually has to (while still trying to make it remember him and avoid it) and it's in that moment where it's dying and Ganon's curse goes away that it remembers and both cry.
Forgot to say this yesterday but I also take inspiration from the mangas and include in my portrayal those things that, in my opinion, contribute to making Link or his story more complex.
An example of this is how, instead of just completely ignoring Saria's ocarina when Zelda gives him the ocarina of time in the games, Link actually loses it because he has to fool Ganondorf somehow when he tries to take it from him and the only option is giving him Saria's one (which is what happens in the manga).
