Hear me out: Sky and Four as Gods

Sky is the god of Fate, skies and love

Four is the god of Magic, forests and luck.

This is entirely a self indulgent au that makes very little sense so enjoy

Designs!

I picked these two to be gods because I love them and thats the only reason

Lore and the blueprints of a story under the cut <3

Sky becomes a god after Skyward Sword, but doesn’t directly feel the effects until Zelda passes of old age. He properly takes up the title as god, form changing over time to become more godlike. He now resides in the heavenly realm, a place where he can watch over the world and make sure Fate goes as according to plan.

Sky’s design

He’s represented by eyes, and it is said that he can view through anything that has an eye on it. His cloak can become wings, and if you look long enough the eyes on his outfit may blink. He often uses lightning as a weapon.

Sky looks after Hyrule as it develops, until he Sees the events of Four Swords and recognises the power of a potential god.

Unlike Sky, Four becomes a god after his passing. He appears in the heavenly realm? And is shocked to be meeting THE god of Fate himself. Four is like a faun but with the lower half of a minish because they represent his domain the best. He can split into the colours who still need to design but they all look similar.

They look after Hyrule together until the events of OOT, when the timeline splits. This causes some issues, and Four and Sky have to try to deal with the time travel without disrupting the fabric of the universe, so they seperate the timeline into three sections, the smallest amount they can. This drains the both of them and they fade into myths.

Over time they will regain power, occasionally assisting the new heroes without them noticing. Four will place good items for them to find, while Sky will make sure their story ends well. The downfall timeline is the hardest to affect, because it was never meant to happen.

Then the war of eras happens.

The dramatic re-merging of the timelines causes the two to become major players in the story again, possibly even appearing in Warriors battles? (Im coming up with this on the spot okay, don’t judge).

Once that is finished, they don’t fade into legend again. Their stories are passed down and they become almost worshipped.

Time takes its course and we get to pre-BOTW. Calamity Ganon was not supposed to rise that early. He broke the laws of fate itself, which causes Sky to have a panic because wtf??? That’s not supposed to happen???

Four does his best to aid the hero while Sky is out of commission, and helps Zelda unlock her powers. He uses his magic to help heal the hero while he’s asleep in the shrine. BOTW happens, Four and Sky calls upon Fate to make sure Ganon does not rise again once Link has defeated him. That’s the end of the timeline. Sky and Four, thinking they’re done, finally let themselves rest. Hylia (because she still exists despite doing nothing to help the two), decides that she should ignore Fate and bring all the heroes together, including the two that are currently gods. When she pulls them all together, Sky and Four are very confused to wake up as mortal hylians again, and don’t even recognise eachother at first. They travel with the Chain, knowing a lot more than they let on. Eventually it gets revealed that they’re gods.

Don’t really know where I’ll go with this but feel free to use this because I know I’ll likely never touch it again

Help there’s this fic that I can’t find and I’ve been looking for days and I’m sad-

It’s Linked Universe and they’re in Four's Hyrule and they get to a town where they think Four is bad or something and they raise the prices on them and treat them all badly and I think they tell them to ditch Four??? Idk I just know that the town hates Four and I wanna find it but I can’t-

Also the reason they hate Four is because after his Four Sword Adventure (haha) he started mumbling to himself and stuff and they think he came back with evil in him

I drew Four (specifically Red, like, he’s in control)

And after that I did it dot style, idk why I did but I did (kept the eyes colored cuz I thought it looked cool)

I also tried weighted lineart but eh, idk how it came out

Here! Have a sketch of Four I probably won’t turn into something (but if I do....I do. idk where I was going with that)

Thinking about LU Four & Shadow again. Because I'm obsessed.

So of course with a lot of Shadow meets the chain fics Four de-escalates the situation pretty fast and Shadow's welcomed as another party member, but I've been thinking. What if Four doesn't do that? What if it's early enough in the adventure that no one trusts Four & they insist on attacking? Or, what if Four doesn't even try, because he doesn't think de-escalation is even possible because of what they've said?

What if Four and Shadow run away together? Become a 3rd party in this adventure?

What if Four can't.. or just doesn't speak up when the chain attacks Shadow?

I want this fic so bad if you can't tell.
