Gift for @sprite-and-the-bunnydragons !! The second I read about bunny Ravio I just... I HAD to draw him. And with drawing one scene came another... And another...
Everyone, please go read Two Bunnies for the Price of One on ao3! It's really funny and I highly recommend it (and honestly any of her other fics)
Ravio being the sweet wide-eyed innocent bunny and Legend with the ‘i don’t wanna be here’ glare is sending me

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!
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
It's my first time being here on tumblr for a Linked Universe update and oh my gods. I cannot express how incredible it is to see so many people just geeking out over this? I've definitely echo-chambered myself into this slice of the internet but either way, this is such a cool thing we've all got going on here and I wanted to put that thought out into the world. Yes I'm still quite new to tumblr but this community is the reason why I want to be here and contribute to it in the ways that I can. Props to @linkeduniverse for bringing so many people together with this masterpiece. And props to EVERYONE who's been here in the past 9 hours reblogging the update, writing character analyses, making memes, reacting, and just generally being excited about this. And not only for Linked Universe but also thank you to everyone in this corner of the fandom world making goddamn amazing fanfiction, art, comics, headcanons, memes, and everything that I missed.
So yeah, thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Show the amazing people who make this community so great some love. They're awesome. <3
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

So I know your autistic Wild (my beloved) has Brenda and Brenda the second for soft friends, does he have any other soft friends?
Do you have any autistic or other neruodivergent head canons for the other Links? (Even if it's just what kinds of things you think they might have for special interests)
OOOOOO wonderful questions!!!!! Authenticity Wild my beloved
He has SO MANY soft friends. I also imagine Flora has a lot too, especially ones with scented things inside- they help her feel grounded when she dissociates or is remembering things related to the Calamity. Their beds in their house (separate beds in the same room on the loft) and their couch are just filled with soft friends. None are as special as the Brenda’s, of course.
I think each culture throughout Hyrule would have a different kind of most common toy and most common stuffed toy. Once everyone figured out how much Wild loves soft friends, they always gifted him one when he helped out the town. Wild loves this so much. The first time it happened he cried from overwhelming emotions of happy and grateful and feeling loved and appreciated.
Other link stuff below :D
I aspire for my headcanons to look like this one day. Well thought out, deeply personal, and organized. Not the disaster that is my mind just going ‘hey you know what would be really funny…’ but those thoughts are also fun ig.

New Wild Headcanon: Sound Sensitivity
(Works for LU Wild or just BotW Link in general.)
Ok so, Wild’s Hyrule is kinda empty compared to some of the others. Wild’s used to silence and quietness which leaves me to think that he would probably be sound sensitive. Yes, there is a few towns in BotW that are kind of big, but it doesn’t really get as big as what we see Castle Town used to be, or even the castle itself.
So, if Wild took a trip to Time’s Castle Town for instance, Wild could get a bit overwhelmed by all the sound. (Also to LU Wild, his damaged ear might be sensitive, even if it is fully healed.) He’d probably express needing to get a breath of fresh air (No pun intended-) to one of the others and find a more quiet spot to calm down. What do you guys think?
Hell yeah. Wild with sensory issues 100%.
