Hear me out. What if at some point during the Chain's adventures they come across their past selves WHILE in the middle of their own quests. Like (example) they walk into Wild's era and he's there fighting his first lynel. And now you can either choose the angst or crack path.
Angst: This is Wild like two weeks after waking up in the Shrine of Resurrection. He is fighting this lynel with the same amount of finesse that I did. As in he is losing. Badly. So they either send in one or multiple or maybe they YOLO it and it's the entire gang. They get past Wild back up on his feet, maybe give him a weapon that won't break after like 5 hits, and help him out. Then they go back and present Wild is like 'yeah that happened but I'm better now' or something. Yeah.
Crack: On the other hand, you could also go full speedrunner Wild mode and write him absolutely destroying this lynel. Like this poor thing has no chance against the physics-defying and mindbogglingly unpredictable Wild. This kind of situation is the reason why you can't spell the word "bewildering" without 'Wild' and he fucking owns it. Fuck it, maybe past and present Wild even team up and briefly break the universe via accidental glitch. Yup.
So yeah, this would happen for the entire Chain, ideally. I'll probably write this at some point. Maybe. Who knows. I just thought this up while studying for a math test and it's way too late at night for me to be functioning properly so yeah.
hell yeah legend showing he cares by screaming in ravio's face and then both of them immediately breaking down I LOVE IT THIS IS SO IN CHARACTER YES *screams cries throws up yeets self to pluto*
Requests? Not sure if that was old or recent but just in case, Ravio and Legend??
If not, no worries at all!
Thanks so much again for the request. Sorry it took so long... But I'm finally here to show it off!
I hope you like it. Thanks again!
Ravio! Technically CPR certified but the odds I’ll be useful and not a useless mess having a panic attack in the corner… actually I don’t know. I also don’t really wanna find out.

is it like you're paranoid looking over your back
is it like a whirlwind inside of your head
is it like you can't stop what you're feeling within
is it like a face inside is right beneath your skin
I regret staying up until stupid o’clock to watch ninjago dragons rising season 3.
The empty ‘im so tired’ look in Sky’s eyes is killing me
☀️ Sunshine 🌩
I already have my Link & Link & Link & Link & Link & Link & Link & Link & Link found family. Check in with me again when I hit bedrock on that rabbit hole first.
@penguinly
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
The leftovers on the floor are what really sell this.
Well it was working fine for him!
SKY IS A FLYING FISH!!! LIKE THAT ONE OCTONAUTS EPISODE WITH FLYING FISH!!! ALL I NEED NOW IS FOR ONE OF THE LINKS TO BE A MUDSKIPPER!!!
"Poisson d'Avril !", as we say here 😄
Have some fish-related things
Wind being a menace :
The Chain as various fishes :
(Species and why I chose them under the cut)
I am not a fish specialist at all so everything is wikipedia and vibe based x)
Sky : exocetus volitans (a fish that flies)
Twilight : dicentrarchus labrax (in southern France it's sometimes named "sea wolf")
Wild : tylosurus crocodilus (idk the vibes worked)
Warriors : a fancy Betta species (vibes again)
Four : cirrhilabrus scottorum (small and colorful)
Legend : scyliorhinus canicula (a small shark species)
Ravio : echeneis naucrates (lives in symbiosis with sharks)
Hyrule : electrophorus electricus (electric fish of course)
Time : xiphias gladius (it's the nose)
Wind : caesio teres (little fish with bright blue and yellow colors)
please let the zelda movie be good please let link be at least a quiet protagonist if not silent please let the zelda movie be good
Why You Should Consider Link Being a Silent Protagonist:
Silent Protagonist ≠ always no dialogue
Silent protagonist does = minimal dialogue, grunts, sparse moments of communication, or no dialogue at all. It’s a spectrum.
Mute people are relatable beings you can empathize with
Quiet people are relatable beings you can empathize with
Link is narratively described as quiet and has story reasons for being reserved in the 2 latest iterations of Mainline Zelda and its part of his character development that he opens up and DOES speak more. It’s literally acknowledged in the most popular zelda title (BOTW).
Let me reiterate- its part of his character to say very little or to have story reasons for not speaking up at first!
Link is silent in EOW for Plot Reasons, pointing to this being a possibility continual in plot recognition
Link is pointed to as THE example of silent protagonist outside of like, Gordon Freeman. Nintendo literally is acknowledging that in its most recent and popular zeldas.
The movie will draw a lot of inspiration from BOTW and TOTK and you would be in denial if you thought elsewise
Childrens cartoons, blockbuster action movies, art house films, comics, games, and more have characters who chirp their name more than speak or barely speak at all
Some of the most Lucrative characters in media fall into this category and some would argue make more money than any plot or franchise. R2D2, Chewie, and Grogu are a HONEYPOT and Lucas could probably speak ad nauseam about this if he wasn’t busy weeping about how he’s not getting all of it
Young children’s media does not rely on a lot of words to convey concepts
His Windwaker Design is literally inspired by kids cartoons and animation that relies on emotion not words
As a person who spent decades studying children’s media I can tell you kids respond to action and story that relies on physical acting, facial emotions, cause-and-effect, observation, and may things that do not need words
Samurai Jack, Grogu, Chewie, R2D2, Snoopy, Gromit, Pikachu, Groot, Boomhaur, Onion, Schnitzel, Animal, the Minions, Silent Bob, Driver (from drive), Mad Max (fury road), are all examples of popular characters who chirp, babble, or barely speak and people love the piss out of them
Movies started without audio and again the foundational concepts of most storytelling in movies happened *without dialogue at first*
Physical acting is a theatrical medium that both adults and children respond positively to
Physical acting is the foundation of fight scenes, chase scenes, stunts, and action in general- things that will be highly features in this movie
Animation, Illustration, and Visual story telling LIKE MOVIES is based on *showing, not telling* for 90% of its time.
James baxter, norman rockwell, charlie chaplin don’t need words to carry bankrolls and make you piss yourself in tears. James Dean also inspired an entire hollywood casting standard based on *staring in vibes*
Some of the most emotionally grappling movies and moments in cinema come from no dialogue in the mix. Up is still fucking you up, and the Piano is a rollercoaster of turmoil because of its silent protagonist. There is literally a No Dialogue cut of Fury Road that fucks and is highly praised
We literally have examples in the GAMES where support characters and other protagonists carry the weight of exposition, conversation, and explanation.
Zelda is right there you twerps, she can do the talking even if she is not with link physically. We literally have examples of this in game too. Midna is also right there, carrying the stone cold plot of Twilight Princess on her quipped up bitch noggin
This whole conversational point about it being hard or impossible or a bad idea is an insult to writers, illustrators, musicians, actors, directors, editors, stage designers, story boarders, makeup artists, cameramen, dancers, game designers, extras, special effects artists, puppeteers, marketing departments, toy designers, STUNTMEN, comic book artists, Miyamoto, audience members, children, adults, quiet people, mute people & their loved ones, the established zelda lore, link’s OWN DAMN CHARACTER IN CANON, and yourself if you believe that
have a better imagination, you deserve it!
Be more curious & open hearted, you deserve it!
There’s no excuse for him to not be quiet in some way other than “they didn’t feel like it, creatively” which is valid and totally acceptable and not a big deal, and could absolutely result in a wonderful portrayal of Link!
@aaa-batteryy the sunday night homework grind is on. as the kids say, i am not locked in.
