Been Thinking For A While On Making Each Version Of Link More Unique (like The Hero Of Time Would Be

GENTLE PSA;   the best way to interact with me is through memes.  you could send that thing @ me even though i’ve posted it five months ago and i’d still answer and appreciate it.  it’s hard to think up starters out of the blue unless they’re plotted,  but memes are just good and gives you a general idea of what’s happening.  so please,  if you see a meme on my blog,  SEND THE MEME.

HE  LISTENS  INTENTLY,  THE  WEIGHT  OF  THEIR  WORDS  SINKING  IN  AS  DEEPLY  AS  THE  EXHAUSTION  IN  HIS  BONES.  He  walks  quietly  behind  the  sheikah,  the  distant  sounds  of  the  battle  still  ringing  in  his  ears,  like  echoes  from  another  life.  Yet,  there  was  a  new  softness  in  his  eyes,  a  mixture  of  weariness  and  relief  that  he  does  not  think  he  has  felt  until  that  moment.  For  the  first  time  since  he  had  picked  it  up,  THE  SWORD  FELT  LIGHTER,  as  though  the  immense  burden  of  duty  it  carried  (  and  which  had  driven  him  forward  for  so  long  )  finally  began  to  ease.  He  could  feel  it  in  the  way  his  shoulders  began  to  relax,  in  how  his  breath  came  slightly  easier  and  his  mind  began  to  quiet.  He  had  served  his  purpose.  Every  battle  had  been fought,  every  trial  overcome.  The  realization  washed  over  him  like  a  warm  blanket,  comforting  and  profound:  he  had  done  enough.

He  sits  down  slowly  on  the  grass,  allowing  the  coolness  to  embrace  his  weary  limbs  if  only  for  a  second.  The  soothing  touch  offering  a  rare  moment  of  comfort  as, with  a  subtle  nod,  he  acknowledges  both  the  wisdom  and  the  carefulness  in  what they say  ❝  that  is  enough  for  me,  ❞  he  murmurs,  his  voice  low  but  full,  carrying  a  sense  of  completion.  He  does  not  need  many  words,  for  he  has  never  been  one  for  them  himself.  His  silence  spoke  volumes,  a  language  of  its  own  that  conveys  more  than  any  speech  ever  could.  And  when  it  would  not  suffice,  he let  his  actions  show  his  message  and  intentions,  as  proven  by  the  scars,  both  seen  and  unseen,  that  he  bears  ❝  knowing  everyone  will  be  fine  is  all  I  need  ❞  he  adds,  and  there  was  the  true  essence  of  his  journey.  HE  DID  NOT  FIGHT  FOR  THE  GLORY,  NOR  FOR  THE  PRAISE  OR  ADMIRATION  OF  OTHERS.  He  fought  simply  to  ensure  that  their  land  and  those  he  cared  for  would  have  a  chance  to  heal  and  grow.

Though  perhaps  that  was  why  his  mind  could  not  help  but  move  foward,  contemplating  the  next  step  he  had  to  take  in  this  new  chapter  of  his  life  ❝  but...what  now  ?  ❞  he  wonders  aloud,  the  question  lingering  in  the  air  as  he  leans  forward,  elbows  resting  on  his  knees  and  fingers  interlaced,  and  stares  at  them  ❝  what  will  be  needed  of  me  now  ?  ❞  The  princess'  role  was  as  clear  as  it  was  crucial.  She  would  be  the  beacon  of  hope  guiding  people  in  the  new  era  that  was  about  to  begin.  The  one  to  restore  their  faith  after  all  the  suffering  they  have  faced.  BUT  WHAT  OF  HIM  ?  He  longed  to  help,  to  stand  by  her  side  and  contribute  to  the rebuilding of Hyrule.  Yet,  WHAT  USE  DOES  A  WEAPON  HAVE  IN  A  TIME  OF  PEACE  ?  He  had  to  find  out  before  seeing  her  again. He  could  not  face  her  with  doubts,  if  only  to  avoid  making  her  carry  all  the  weight  of  their  future  alone.

the dust cloud settling is a momentary event. nothing sticks around in this land but the evergreen fact that everything returns some day, maybe later rather than sooner, but return it will. they have seen the rise and fall of this kingdom several times over, a land growing back from its own ashes, in the vice of ganon's darkness only until the hero and the princess would rise to defeat it once again. this is how the story has been made, even if they were the one to write it down they had no hand in crafting it, and there is nothing to it besides the rare sense of contentment that is meddling within their usually calm veins to remind them that a period of peace is about to descend once more. all for the hero and his valiant effort, this sword that never rests when darkness roars, and his undeniable sacrifice to go the entire distance even when he knows the least about the mechanism at play, even when he rises up with no prior awareness, when all he knows is what is happening at hand. his hand has led them, all of them, with only the princess being the one to lead him - a light on this bravery, on the rarity of his person.

hyrule never wants to take the easier route, it always needs a trial by blood. he looks the part - too young for his wounds and for this torch he is carrying but all the more vivid in his victory, tragedy of his years having been stolen only meeting a small remedy in this but there is now an entire life ahead of him that is not cast in the burning hatred that has infected this land from deep within the demon's king greed. " anything you have experienced is over now, yes, " they tell him to his exhausted face, their own well-hidden with half of it in cloth and mostly their gaze expressing their own keen awareness of what happened to him, of what he has done for all of them. they are the last to coddle him, always the first to push instead, but they are keeping away from it now as they can see how much the past hours have taken a toll on his especially.

they are never one to heap sugar-coated kindness onto anyone, least of all him, so they are quick to continue as they walk with him away from the battlefield he left behind ( the princess couldn't be far away ) and into a quieter part of the fields in front of the castle, where walls may have fallen and the grass has been razed not too many metres from here but there is a patch of surviving green that would give link the opportunity to sit or lie down, put his sword away if he wished or needed to, and to just listen if he'd really want to indulge them into philosophical visions about this land that means so much to them. he'd probably fall asleep hearing them talk, but he might see this as an advantage to engaging them. " i can't tell you how long it will last. you have done well, everything that was needed of you is what you did. know that it may take more than a lifetime before this darkness returns. "

Honestly I need more interactions here so...like this for a small thing from Link?

Important note that I don't think I have mentioned yet, while I know that Link is a child (like 10-12 years old) in some games, I won't rp him any younger than 17 as I simply do not feel comfortable with it.

However, what happens when he is young can be plotted between our muses so that it shapes their relationship, his actions with them, etc when he's older.

#𝐇𝟏𝐫𝐮𝐥𝟑𝐬:  𝘈  𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥  𝘸𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴  𝘯𝘰  𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩  𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴  𝘵𝘩𝘦  𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥  𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵  𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘴  𝘪𝘵  𝘩𝘢𝘴  𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦.  A  selective  and  private  blog  for  𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤  from  𝙏𝙝𝙚  𝙇𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙙  𝙤𝙛  𝙕𝙚𝙡𝙙𝙖  based primarly on Ocarina of Time but  with  inspiration  taken  from  all  games  and  verses  available  for  them.

  ¹·    carrd     /     ²·     rules     /      ³·  verses

An  exploration  in:  the  hero's  journey,  identity  and  legacy,  courage  and  bravery,  loyalty,  duty  and  honor,  friendship  and  companionship,  nature,  light  vs.  darkness,  and  myth  and  legend.

i.  This  blog  was  made  for  all  of  us  to  have  fun  so  any  type  of  racism,  sexims  or  anything  similar  is  not  going  to  be  tolerated  here.

ii.  This  is  a  mutual  only  blog  which  means  I  will  only  interact  with  you  if  you  are  following  me  and  I’m  following  you.

iii.  I’m  selective  in  the  sense  that  I  will  follow  you  only  if  I  think  it’s  not  completely  impossible  for  us  to  interact.  So,  if  you  are  an  oc  and  or  rp  a  character  from  another  fandom  but  have  an  idea  of  how  our  muses  would  be  able  to  meet  contact  me.

iv.  Given the nature of the source material, there may be some triggers present on this blog so follow at your own discretion. I will tag them as "trigger tw" but if I ever forget something or you have more triggers than the ones I tag please let me know.

v.  In  relation  to  the  previous  rule, I will not write with anyone under the age of 18 as I simply do not feel comfortable with it. If you are not of age and/or if I discover you are lying I will block.

vi.  While  I  don’t  have  a  problem  with  people  reblogging  memes  from  me,  I  would  prefer  if  you  did  it  from  the  original  source  like  I  do  so  that  it  doesn’t  mess  up  with  my  notifications.

vii.  Regarding  shipping, I see Link as a difficult muse and it's not really a priority for me even if I love it. So, any relationship would have to be born from heavy plotting and chemistry between both muses and muns.

viii.  I  am  open  to  iconless  threads  even  if  I  like  to  use  icons  as  I  understand  that  not  everyone  uses  them.  Writing  is  the  most  important  part  after  all.

ix.  I  try  to  adapt  to  what  each  person  usually  writes  so  I  don’t  mind  if  your  starters/replies  are  longer  or  shorter  than  what  I  write  as  long  as  you  give  me  something  to  work  with.

x.  If  you  sent  me  a  meme  and  you  liked  my  answer  to  it  you  are  free  to  answer  to  it  and  make  it  a  thread  but  please  do  it  in  a  new  post  that  starts  for  example  with  "continued  from". 

xi.  New rules may be added as I see them necessary so please, even though I will inform you guys of any changes, keep an eye out in this sense.
