Four gets the Zelda treatment
(Also known as I steal the plot of TOTK and run with it)
It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn - Chapter 1 - TheSkywalkerLegacy - The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms [Archive of Our Own]
Four dissolves
reblog with a spoiler for your wip with zero context. no context allowed.
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
Boy I sure do love free will
I saw a comic that had four splitting into the colours as ‘magical girl transformation’ and I ran with it.
Anyways here’s a crack au with the colours as magical girls because I’m bored
More under the cut <3
Blue (They/he/she)
Symbol: Triangle
Represents: Anger
Weapon: Hammer
Does not enjoy this (the hammer is fun though)
Green! (He/they)
Symbol: Circle
Represents: Peace
Weapon: Sword
The one that looks most similar to normal Four. He actually doesn’t mind the costume change, just finds it isn’t the most practical.
Red <3 (Any)
Symbol: Heart
Represents: Love!
Weapon: Bow!
Their favourite part of the outfit is their buns, but all the little bows are also adorable >:3
Vio (They/she)
Symbol: Star
Represents: Wisdom
Weapon: Magic
They do not like the ponytails. Tried to chop them off but they came back the next time Four split. Absolutely devours in those heels though.
AU extra notes that I don’t know where else to put:
It’s a result of Four getting cursed or something
He does not want the others knowing.
Probably gets revealed because the gang is fighting something and the group gets overpowered so Four is like ‘oh damn guess it’s time to get magical’
Yuh that’s it let me know if you want more :3
Edit: I JUST NOTICED I MISSED COLOURING THE LINEART ON VIOS HAIR 😭😭😭
YALL IM HAVING A CRISIS I CAN FEEL MY HYPERFIXATION DYING
SEND HELP 🙏🙏🙏
Thought I’d share my character playlists because they’re just rotting in my Spotify.
No I will not explain any of the songs.
Made some Linked Universe reference sheets. tried my best including important characteristics and parts of a character people may have issues drawing. These are just a few things I think of to help myself while drawing them. What's helpful for me may not be for someone else.

I'm hoping to get back into Tumblr, so have an incorrect quote by yours truly <3
Wild: Cronch
Wild: You hear that? That's the sound of me eating sticks.
Twilight: Wild please don't-
Wild already shoving a stick into his mouth: Too late.
Wild: Am I in trouble?
Twilight: Guess.
Wild: No?
Twilight: Try again.
Warriors: Just be yourself. Say something nice!
Legend: Which one though? I can’t be both!
This is my first time EVER participating in LU-tober or any kind of weekly/monthly event. It was such a blast!
((I’m going to go take a nap.))
CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS TO TOTK IN CH 14!!
Legend: I’m not great at giving advice.
Legend: Can I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?
Twilight: … the important thing is that you learned something.
Wild walking away with half of his hair burnt and clothing covered in ash: No, I didn’t.
Hyrule: I will never understand people.
Legend: They’re the worst.
Whoops wrong account...

Wild: How tall are you?
Warriors: 6 feet.
*later*
Wild: How tall are you?
Four turns omoniously to stare at Wild: I AM 4 FEET AND 4 INCHES AND 1 QUARTER. Leans froward to grab Wild I WILL DESTROY YOU.
Wild: Sometimes, forgiveness means more than anything. The difference between life and death.
Four: Why are you in my room at 3 in the morning.
Wild: I didn't want to invoke the wrath of Time and Malon.
Four: And why did you come to me?
Wild: Hyrule burned water.
Four *suddenly wide awake*: Why did you let Hyrule near the stove?!
Wild: I didn't, he was just attracted to fire.
Link, *trying to get Din to calm down*: "Okay, okay, chill!"
Din: "I INVENTED CHILL!"
Nayru, rolling eyes:"No, I invented chill. You are literally the opposite of chill."
Din:"Remind me which of us is the Oracle of Seasons again?"
Nayru: "You're a fire goddess who wanted to play around how to add more heat without overbaking people, so you invented summer with the other seasons as a compromise. I'm a water goddess and goddess of law. Deep waters come in cold. Justice is served cold. I invented chill, ya flamebrain."
Farore: *Just sits back and eats popcorn*
Hylia just walking in: What the-?
Legend internally: That guy has red eyes! He must be evil! Camera pans over to show Dark Link just kinda vibing. Legend internally again, moves to take read his book again: Well, not going to let that ruin my day.
ALT
Four looks up from his book, internally: That's a god! Pans over to show Hylia. Four goes back to his book, internally: Well, not going to ruin my day.
