Zelda Headcanon - Blog Posts

Hmm, what if when the Skyloftians left the sky they vaguely still looked like Zonai. Like they had much longer ears, little markings that resembled a closed third eye, and slightly sharper teeth. But after a few generations they turn into Hylians while those that stayed up in the clouds turned into the Zonai we know.

My silly little Link headcannons

hii again I'm very bored rn sooo

again for Zelda, it's only the major ones, sorry obscure link fans

also wtf is this gif I found 😭😭

Skyward Sword

✯has the biggest crush on his Zelda bc they're so close

✯like it's VERY obvious how they feel about eachother

✯His fav flavour of ice cream is Oreo ice cream but he also loves toffee and vanilla too

✯He can talk but he prefers sign language (dialect of sign language may vary on preference ((like ASL or BSL or LSE, ect)) ) and talks to save time in an emergency in case the other person may not know sign, but DOES sign if they do

For this one, I thought about the cutscenes where he's explaining something (like the current location or condition of Zelda) to another character and we can see his mouth moving.

✯no because if video games existed in skyloft, i just know that he's playing stardew valley and papas freezeria. I can feel it in my BONES

✯Definitely woke up under his bed once and hit his head on the bedframe

✯him and Groose have insult battles but then they get ice cream together after

Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask

✯somebody get this poor boy a therapist and a hug PLEASE

Twilight Princess

✯it felt natural to him when he transformed using the Zora mask in mm, because both the models for adult link and Zora link are the same size

✯mute

✯i think he played the ocarina like a recorder (aka with no experience at all) and did each note individually and the magic of the ocarina of time was probably like "there is NO WAY that I'm letting this kid tarnish my reputation goddamit" and made the songs sound nicer after he had played all the notes

✯forgot once that he was a kid again and walked to Romani ranch to get some chateau Romani and was genuinely surprised when Cremia said no

✯Had more of a genuine connection to Midna, but still had a friendship with princess Zelda

Wind Waker

✯felt a strange familial connection to the hero of shades when he met him and made link want to find out who the hero of shades was

✯does NOT like how short he is when he transforms into a wolf

✯Best poker face in history

Breath of the Wild

✯Gives Aryll piggybacks when she wants

✯would gladly eat his grandma's soup for the rest of his life

✯His grandma gave him the recipe to her soup when he left to discover the new Hyrule

✯Has the most major and unhidable (that's not a word but who cares) side eye in the history of time

✯If the events of WW didn't happen, I think he would have grown up to be a cartographer or he would REALLY like making his own maps

✯sorry to get all angsty but I don't think he wanted to kill Ganondorf. I just don't. I don't think either of them wanted to kill eachother. I feel like Link feels guilty about it because it's so obvious that it was only self defense after the triforce was touched by king Daphnes and it literally drove Ganondorf insane

Tbh I'd go crazy too if something I had wanted so badly got taken by another person even tho I literally got SEALED IN ANOTHER FUCKING REALM FOR A LONG AMOUNT OF TIME for it

Again sorry for no totk for this one pls no spoilers

✯Gets ambushed by Yiga so many times that he knows their names

*Yiga poofs into existence* "IM HERE TO KILL YOU LINK, IN REVENGE FOR MASTER KOHGA!!!!"

"oh hi jerry, nice weather eh?" -link

✯After he saved princess Zelda, he took a nap that lasted 4 ENTIRE days

✯not even the sound of kass' accordion could wake his ass up

✯very obvious but if he wasn't a knight, he would be a chef. Not sous chef. He would be head chef.

✯His hands are probably rough as hell from all that Hero Of Hyrule™-ing he has done

✯despite being able to lift heavy objects, his arms are still noodles

My silly little Zelda headcannons

teehee here's another one while I procrastinate something that's due tomorrow ✌️😭

Sorry if not every Zelda is listed, I just did the most major ones

Skyward Sword

✧She LOVES to do fiber crafts, but her absolute favourite is embroidery and she's very good at it

✧She met link when she was young so I hc that she embroidered all the little details on Link's clothes for him as a gift for his birthday each year.

✧And also that after the events of SS, she and link started dating and when they grew old and had children, she became the 'elder'/leader of skyloft.

Ocarina of Time

✧After sending Link back to the past to relive his childhood, she told the tale about the hero of time to her people, made statues and stained glass windows of him in his honour but she never ever told anyone else any more details than the surface level information. Except for her children and descendants when she felt that they were at an age where they wouldn't treat her words as if they were just some story she made up.

For this one, I imagined her telling one of her children about the hero of time and how she helped him and her child just went "nu-uh you're making that up" and then she just decided not to tell her children more about the literal hero of legend she helped to her children when they're like 7 for a bedtime story

✧"Sheik" was an alter ego she made to hide from Ganondorf, yes.

✧BUT

✧It was also a nickname that Impa called her during her training and called her in private

Twilight Princess

✧Most beautiful eyeliner in Hyrule 100%

✧When she got possessed by Ganondorf, you know when people say that they had an out of body experience and they observe their own body doing things from an outside perspective? That.

Wind Waker

✧She has more 'refined' and 'regal' clothing passed down by her mother, but chooses to just wear her normal pirate outfit because she doesn't want her fancy clothing to get damaged by the normal to-dos of being a pirate captain

✧Ganondorf explained her role in this world as the holder of the triforce of wisdom and tbh she did NOT like it one bit

✧Why can't she just sail the ocean in peace??

✧But I guess being a princess is nice? It's no different from being a pirate captain in her eyes

✧The cannon she fires Link out of, she has 100% fired ALL of her crew out of it at one point

Breath of the Wild

No totk for this one sorry lol

✧She secretly resents her dad. All he seems to do is pressure her all the time and scold her for wanting to know more about the sheikah tech

✧She sees Mipha as her best friend and they have sleepovers when either of them don't have anything to do (which tbh is literally once in a blue moon)

✧Has literally tried EVERYTHING to get her powers to work

✧doesn't listen to advice about unlocking her powers after being told she had to drink the water of the spring of power once as a prank and she actually did it thinking that it would unlock her powers, but it didn't and she just drank dirty spring water 🤮🤮
