HOLY SHIT THE LINKEDUNIVERSE THEME SONG

frick the boat got colonized by penguins. they're just angry about the tariffs my bad. i promise the fish is okay though.

Yes my computer crashed while I was making this.

I’m gonna leave him here, make sure he stays out of trouble

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!

so @aaa-batteryy how crazy would it be if i showed up to school tomorrow with a bucket of ice water

congrats on the 350 followers!!! if you haven't received 5 art suggestions already, could i suggest something with Sky, Four, & Legend? --@uncleskyrule

I think those 2 should get to be mischievous, and Four I've decided would absolutely be their target because they're determined to get a reaction out of him lol

Thank you for requesting this!

Do fairy wings have nerves? Also, this is SO DETAILED. DANGGG!!!

As I’ve said before, I miss torturing Hyrule.

I drew him being captured by a fairy hunters, they believe that fairy blood can cure all diseases. They tore off his wings so he couldn’t fly away and escape.

Warning: blood

I fricking love how in the span of like what, five minutes(?) Sky went from this

to straight up this

and it works so well. Like hell yeah he's goofy and fun and an interesting person and sure he's also killed a god.

I dunno I just thought the beginning couple pages were really funny (what the hell was that Statue of Liberty pose he did lmao I love it) and the fight scene was actually insane. To anyone who hasn't already, go check out the new update!!!

all credit goes to @linkeduniverse :)

Edit: sorry it’s so pixelated LMAO

I needed this headcanon on a miserable Monday morning. Here, have your soul back. Your headcanons are now canon to me.

might be going crazy or something...

Warriors is sometimes depicted as a cocky flirt, which, as an aromantic person, I'm guilty of jokingly flirting with strangers on the internet, but ANYWAYS... I genuinely don't think he's like... a romantical if you catch my jist. Yes, he flirts, but as a way of empty flattery, and he doesn't seem to want anything to come out of it whatsoever.

In one of jojo's early sketches of the chain, he refers to marriage as "shackles" when Time shows off his wedding ring. In another sketch, he actively hides from a woman in a tavern. So what I'm getting at here is underneath all of that confident, flirtatious energy... he's scared. He doesn't want a relationship. He doesn't dream of settling down, like a lot of the chain, but he has different reasons for thinking that way.

Cia.

Warriors literally had a stalker. Straight up. She waged war to get in his pants. That's... eugh. She locked him in a room full of pictures that she took of him. Statues of him, everywhere. Just imagine the stress. He was like what? Seventeen? He was ALREADY a child soldier with hundreds of people counting on him. No wonder he refers to marriage as "shackles". Also, the guilt? A lot of victims blame themselves, I don't doubt Warriors was one of them, especially because she started a war over it that killed hundreds of soldiers. He would feel like that's his fault. You can see from how he treats the chain that he really does care about people. He's not just "haha cocky flirt boy". He probably had so many sleepless nights just blaming himself for the deaths of his soldiers.

WOULD ANYBODY WANT A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP AFTER EXPERIENCING THAT!?!?!

I'm aro, but I'm gonna go ahead and say no.

not me getting overly emotional over a fictional character. Cough.

RAVIOOOOOOOO

Dude I fricking love the rabbit ear and the hair and the expression and the WAY YOU DRAW??? HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO COOL!!!

Me, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and then an hour into the 20 minute nap. The idea of getting up and getting my shit together is scary. Wake me up in another hour.

I can’t get over how someone who may or may not have the power of energy/life can have a deaths per season rate of like 20%.

new and updated theory on the source of lloyd’s power!

in dragons rising there definitely has been lore dropped here and there but more than anything I find ammunition to power my long winded theory that lloyd’s powers come from his heart, in theoretical and just elemental sense.

doc wyatt has established there isn’t a set explanation (YET) in show, but he did like one of my tweets regarding my claim that Lloyd’s power resonates within the heart and soul.

starting out, lloyd’s power has never been defined. it is hinted by the writers that lloyd has no idea what it is, though what we do know is that it—-

1) can create life and destroy it (the book of elemental powers)

2) draw energy from the elements

3) shield oneself / very powerful in attack

4) does not belong to the source dragon of energy but belongs to the source dragon OF LIFE

5) has some sort of connection with the FSM

and lastly, by LEGO GROUP’s definition.. it’s ENERGY.

energy can have have different meanings. energy in lightning’s case seems to be the electrical sense, but energy can .. power up things, it makes things work -

energy is also used as a synonym for life force, this is demonstrated when referring to the act of draining source dragons and the whack-rats.

what i am getting at, is I believe that energy in the sense of lloyd’s powers is that he holds the essence of life itself. his power works hand in hand in his survival as well as keeps him alive.

now to connect him to LIFE , a source dragon, was very interesting but made a great deal of sense. Life is in everything, energy can create life.. who created life?

THE FSM used elemental powers to bring Garmadon and Wu into existence, he also holds the ability that past his death, he could steal lloyd from the mortal world to speak to him in the grasslands.

the elements of creation can be drawn from in their energy for lloyd, but the elements of creation were the core four.

LIFE = Lightning, Ice, Fire, Earth

so….

that also makes sense as to when he was dying in mystake’s tea shop that they had to use their elemental powers of creation to revive lloyd or heal him.

now jumping into the theory that will always be my favorite, and the show itself actually jumped into it was elemental powers being felt or drawn from different places depending on the elemental powers, ie nya with veins, zane with his mind, etc etc etc—

lloyd’s power comes from his heart in my opinion.

firstly, life—- energy is what makes the heart beat, you cannot live without that.

mentally, lloyds power has always been his true self, his heart, the way he cares so deeply for people (even if they do not deserve so)

green in spirituality also represents the heart chakra, it is very similar in description.

but as someone so close to his mortality, and who i believe is always aware of such, it makes so much sense.

in s8, when his element is fighting for him as he’s succumbing to his wounds in the fight in krytparium it sparks on his chest,

following this— the elemental master figures that were released in the SOG wave depicted different elements and where they were located differed on the ninja, lloyds was insanely insanely obvious—

overdrawing from his element has caused him great sickness multiple times. we see this with golden power, then we see this with him fainting while using his element against griefbringer in MOTM (something very opposite to his element— death)

the fact that his power kept him alive but also left him for a bit after he almost was on the brink of dying in s8

now with dragons rising and the conduit putting him in a semi coma for several days because of his mortality

he puts his hand on his heart when he approaches the imperium source dragon when saying “this place, i feel weird”

him believing he’d die from conduit power…

it’s justttt…

but that being said there is so much they could discuss about lloyd in show, whether discovering his powers, or seeing the actual scope of what they do

lloyd is very hesitant and he out of anyone never talks about his powers or how they work

but there’s so much there, like what if his elemental power could heal people or bring people back to life (other than himself LOL)
