It was a rather unusual town that the monarch found himself in, that a journey through unknown woods had brought him to. Clocktown as he had discovered the residents called it was a curious place, big enough and filled with more than its share of lively individuals, enough that it might occupy his curiosity for many a day.
The greatest of the curiosities was without a doubt the haunting moon that hung in the heavens. It was a ghastly looking thing, one whose image he did not so easily shake from his mind, even when he made a point not to look upon it. It ever ghosted at his vision, leaving an odd sense of foreboding in the monarch who had never seen such a thing before.
But the residents seemed unconcerned, engrossed instead in preparations for some manner of festival that would be happening in a few days time. Perhaps this odd moon was a normal occurrence in this place? though Richard feared what else he might discover if such a thing did not faze anyone.
Richard had barely noticed the night fall when he spotted a young boy still walking the streets, blond hair peaking from beneath a green hat that matched his garb, the small light dancing about him catching the monarch’s eye as surely as the unusual words turned his attention fully.
“Take refuge?” Richard queried. “Is something going to happen?” Instinctively he looked to the sky in search of rain clouds that might merit putting a roof over one’s head but he was instead only met by the haunting eyes of the moon that seemed to glow eerily in the night sky.
“Forgive me, I only just arrived in town here and am still a bit ignorant so far as all that is occurring. Does it have to do with the preparations everyone in town is making?”
surely he could SEE it, couldn’t he? though the man had a voice that was pleasant to listen to, the questions that were drawn from it irked the boy more than they should’ve. the MOON hovered threateningly above them both, and in the tension of the moment it gave a great heave, the ground below them SHUDDERING with a daunting rumble.
those who were smart enough to bargain with the town guard or Captain Viscen had certainly already left town. so why wander in here, having just arrived, if one could clearly see the state of disarray? though the townsfolk would never SHOW it through their actions, things were very wrong indeed.
❝ look up. can’t you see that? that moon… ❞
he spoke of the CALAMITY that hung in the sky, draping down over the world of Termina like a blanket of unavoidable death and destruction. already they had begun preparing for the Carnival of Time, but even Link knew that few remained when the THIRD DAY hit and nightfall washed over the tick-tocking clocktower above.
❝ it’s gonna fall in three days. you should leave and get as far from this place as you can. ❞
he didn’t bother looking up at whom he was speaking to, long ears giing a subtle twitch in his direction. there was nothing to be looked upon, nothing to be said; they would all FORGET him when the clock struck SIX and everything rewound in a pit of flames and debris.
ɴᴏ less temperamental than he is on any given occasion that involves an interruption ( and the subsequent wasting of his precious time ), he looks upon the younger male as though highly annoyed. a thousand other faces in the sea of people that walked the city’s streets, and the child ends up choosing to look to him for help. just his luck.
he gestures in the direction of the bay, pursing his lips.
❝ don’t you hear the horns from the ships, coming from down that way? or did you think they belonged to a new line of satomobiles ————? ❞
▲ – COURAGE:
Well, he didn’t have to be so rude about it, now did he? At least the directions were given and Link could now be on his way. He held in his free hand a blue-painted mask, lifelike in appearance with fish scales that covered it in a painstakingly mastered pattern. The eyes were lifeless, soulless, and seemed to stare out at nothing.
❛ I don’t even know what a sato– thing, is. I’m just trying to get to the ocean. You don’t have to be such a jerk about it, you know. ❜
Link’s two ears twitched, regret apparent at losing his cool. Normally he could tolerate any kind of behavior, polite or not.
Link is a ten year old Hylian boy cast out into the world. Given a sword and called a savior, he was made to undergo dangerous trials and defeat several gigantic monsters and dragons of all sizes. Orphaned at infancy by his dying mother, Link was raised in the Kokiri Forest and was frequently abused by the child-leader of the Kokiri for being a Hylian.
He was forced to grow up without knowing the consequences of his actions; He chose to heed the Great Deku Tree’s words and bring the Emerald to Zelda at Hyrule Castle. Believing Zelda’s words and trusting her judgement, Link gathered the Ruby and Sapphire from two remaining temples, returning to town just in time to see Zelda retreating on horseback with Ganondorf in pursuit. Obtaining the Ocarina, he was told via telepathy to enter the door of time– but not what was going to happen next.
Upon waking up, Link’s shock is clearly written on his face. He is told to look at his growth, and he stands as a seventeen year old young man, able to wield the power of the master sword. While he is able to return to his age at the end of the game in the Child Era, Link ultimately loses his entire childhood and continues to see this pattern throughout the Zelda series.
Link is always born with the mark of the Goddess Farore on the back of his hand. It is a golden symbol, the Triforce, with the right-hand side lit up. It represents the piece of her existence that she granted to him, a fragment of power that enables him to dismiss fear and enter the realm of reckless indulgence to save the people of Hyrule from any evil or tyrannical being.
He's known to be childish at times and loves all kinds of food-- especially if its free. As a growing and healthy boy, he can often be found chowing down at the Ranch or somewhere in town, well-known by the town's occupants as nothing more than the fiary boy. Princess Zelda and those who matter within the castle, however, are not ignorant to what he had done for them upon saving their world.
Link does have an incredible angry streak, though. If anyone appears condescending, he does his best to put up with it, but he is unable to stand by if one of his friends is insulted or threatened with danger or harm. He's extremely protective of all those he bonds with, which is an incredibly hard thing to do. Almost all of his friends and companions leave about their business and have left Link to his own devices. It is assumed that he dies alone when he becomes the Hero's shade. If you do befriend him, handle with care.
First things first, the Mun is known as Pepsi; please use whatever pronoun you feel with with me. I don't mind it in the least! He/She is fine. Or they. Whichever you feel fits me best.
Shipping: I am a multi-verse blog/multi-ship blog. However, he’s very picky and it most likely won’t happen without years of angsty development. Why? …Well, he doesn’t care! Empathy/Sympathy won’t be found with this muse. However, he greatly admires beauty. What he finds beautiful varies.
I am also extremely selective of OCs and will not roleplay with those made purposely for shipping. i won't roleplay with ocs that are related to canon characters, or 'personified object' ocs. I also expect you to have something for me to read so that I may know about your character. ‘Rp to find out’ does not roll with me.
I do offer MUTUAL EXCLUSIVITY, but this is not a requirement. if you would like me to only interact with the muse you play on your blog, then I will expect the same in return. we must have been threading for at least a week before i will offer this feature.
If I am following you, that means that I want to thread with you. It means I’ve seen something promising on your page and that I do want to interact with you. Please note that I won’t rp with multi-muse blogs or gender-bent muses.
Lastly, if you decide that you feel the need to call me elitist or pretentious for my choices to role-play, i suggest you go and find one of the other thousands of Zelda blogs to meet your needs, as i refuse to respond to any anon hate messages without the use of know-anon, meaning that your url will be shown and i just won't care about the repercussions that brings you. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.
VERSES LIST
Main verse: MAJORAS MASK. Game Setting.
Link, transported by means of mysterious magic to a world, Link embarks on a journey to save the topsy-turvy land of Termina from being crushed by the moon in just three days. To defeat the Skull Kid, Link has to live the same three days over and over again, but not without the help of a few transformative masks. His journey takes him from a poisonous swamp, a snowy mountain, a misty ocean and the valley of death itself.
Link has become Jaded in this world, keeping to himself and always weary of losing new friends. With Tatl floating at his side, Link does his best to rid the world of an extreme evil that not even he understands-- a terrifying mask of possession on the face of a child his own age.
This blog will allow plotting for the popular theory that child link is, in fact, dead. Termina is just a figment of purgatory while Link comes to terms with the five stages of grief. This means that any interaction outside of the Zelda fandom will have Link as a corporeal spirit, unaware of the truth.
[ THE BOUNTY HUNTER ] Post-Majora's Mask
Rather than going on at the end of Majoras Mask, Link stays in the lands of Termina and becomes a teen bounty hunter. Accompanied by no one down the roads that lead him any and everywhere, he carries with him the faceless masks of those who've passed on and is always cautious of strangers.
[ Main 2 ] Ocarina of Time ( all timelines )
In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule, the Great Deku Tree served as the guardian spirit. The children of the forest, the Kokiri, lived with the Great Deku Tree. Each Kokiri had his or her own guardian fairy, except one. His name was Link.
Upon gaining access to the Temple of Time and the Master Sword, Link travels seven years into the future. You learn that the time travel happens because, although Link is the chosen one to remove the Master Sword from its stone sealed sheath, you must be of a certain age to wield it. Therefore Link is trapped in a sort of “hibernation” until he is old enough to fulfil his destiny. When Link awakens he finds that in his absence, Ganondorf has used the Triforce of Power to take control of Hyrule and turn it into a post apocalyptic world.
[ SM4SH VERSE. Melee. YOUNG LINK. ]
Chosen to fight amongst the best champions, the competition gets rough when Link faces off against familiar rivals and strong foes he's never met before. This universe is used for a friendlier atmosphere for other view game characters. The tournament starts soon-- is your muse in?
POST-ALL
Link has returned from Termina as an adult, fully prepared to take his father's place as a Knight of Hyrule. However, things don't appear to be going his way... he finds himself entranced by the sudden dark clouds that cover the sky. In armor, sword in hand, has war come upon them once more?
