[merriclo]

anyways here’s a list of all the (current) hcau links’ gender, pronouns, sexuality, and any partners they may have/have had. i’ve been queering these bitches since the very beginning

Hero - he/him, he’s too busy with.. well everything to think about his gender or sexuality, has a very complicated relationship with Hylia

Loft - he/they, in the midst of exploring their gender but for now is settled on trans man, bisexual, in a very committed relationship with his Zelda (and is planning to propose soon!!)

Minish - they/them, agender, demi + ace, just started dating their Zelda

Prism - he/him, cis man, bisexual, engaged to his Zelda

Mask - they/he, their gender is complicated but they don’t want to explain so they just say trans man, bisexual, not quite dating Malon yet but very very close (also has a minor crush on Sheik)

Oracle - he/him, trans man, pansexual, he is very far back in the closet so he’s not dating anyone but he was admittedly kind of into Ralph, and under different circumstances he could’ve loved Zelda, too (see this short wip) (also he’s so not over Marin)

Lorule - she/he/they, genderfluid, pan + ace, has the fattest fucking crush on Ravio

Rhythm - he/him, questioning gender, queer, hasn’t figured out if their feelings for his Zelda are platonic or not

Traveler - he/they/it, non-binary, aroace, he and one of its Zeldas jokingly flirt all the time bc they think it’s hilarious but they’re actually just super good friends

Wolf - he/him, cis man, bisexual, not in a relationship because he’s probably never going to get over Midna

Red - he/they, genderqueer, queer, still crushing on Erune

Green - he/him, cis man, bisexual, single

Blue - she/her, trans woman, lesbian, head over heals for her Zelda but refuses to admit it (everyone knows)

Vio - they/she, transfem non-binary, bi + demi + ace, has a…. complicated relationship with Shadow

Wind - he/him, trans man, bisexual, dating Tetra and is so proud of it

Spirit - she/her, trans girl, lesbian, has the biggest crush on her Zelda

Ages - he/him, cis man, pansexual, single but used to have a crush on Ravio during the war

Champion - he/they, was too busy studying the blade to consider their gender or sexuality or any romantic feelings (painfully oblivious to the fact that they have feelings for both Mipha and Zelda)

Wild - any/all pronouns, genderqueer, pansexual, dating her Zelda

here are also some side characters that are queer to some degree!!

Malon - she/her, trans woman, pansexual, very very close to dating Mask (and thinks Sheik is cute, too)

Mask’s Sheik (child timeline) - he/him, trans man, bisexual, not dating anyone but has a fat fucking crush on Mask and Malon

Pipit - he/him, trans man, straight, engaged to Karane

Marin - she/her, trans woman, pansexual, was dating Oracle

Champion’s Zelda - she/her, cis woman, bisexual, has a huge crush on both Champion and Mipha

Ravio - he/him, cis man, queer, has the fattest fucking crush on Lorule

of course there are other characters who aren’t mentioned here that have gotten hit by the queerification beam, but these are all i’ve decided on/can think of at the moment!!

#i say current bc i have some surprise characters in store #aka i haven’t decided on either their names or if i want to include them or not <3 #also Rhythm’s relationship with Octavo is tbd since i haven’t finished coh yet #but i do hope on including him he’s fun #so many of them are bisexual oopsies my bad #listen listen to be a hero you’ve got to pull as many bitches as possible from all directions /j #hcau #hero’s call au #links meet au #hcau hero #hcau loft #hcau prism #hcau mask #hcau oracle #hcau lorule #hcau rhythm #hcau traveler #hcau wolf #hcau red #hcau blue #hcau green #hcau vio #hcau wind #hcau spirit #hcau ages #hcau champion #hcau wild #GODDAMN that’s a lot of links

[merriclo]

have some fun facts abt my Links while i finish chapter one of hcau:

Prism and Wind are dyslexic :)

whenever Wild doesn’t want to go through the effort of explaining something, they’ll just say it came to them via divine intervention. Loft believes it every time.

Lorule has never lost a game of dominos. they have no strategy, they bet on blind luck and blind luck only and it always works. Ravio took it upon himself to set up little dominos tournaments at festivals or other town events.

Wind is banned from said domino tournaments due to his excessive cursing.

Wolf constantly tries to teach Spirit how to wrestle. Spirit refuses to learn (it scares her)

Mask can fuck it up on the fiddle

everyone thought Ages was gonna use his “Queen’s Bestie” privileges to meddle with politics even more than his job allows but nope! he just uses it to get access to the royal library. fucking nerd.

Wild and Loft both love bell peppers

Wind is besties with both Mask and Oracle. Oracle fucking despises Mask. Wind is desperately trying to convince Oracle that Mask is actually Rlly Fuckin Cool (tm). success levels vary.

Traveler doesn’t own a bedroll. he sleeps in the dirt. if they’re at an inn it’ll sleep outside anyways. they love it.

Wind is very superstitious

Oracle just straight up fistfights monsters sometimes

Wild’s a mouth-breather

Loft stole one of Kolokto’s swords. don’t ask me how he just did.

Oracle has one of his wanted posters nailed above his bed. he thinks it’s funny. no one else shares this opinion.

during hyrule warriors Mask got a wizzro in a corner and just beat the everliving fuck out of it

Wolf is an adult man horse girl

Red, Green, Blue, and Vio all have the thickest scottish accent

#fun fact: the excessive cursing at domino tournaments bit is based off of some ppl my mom knows #said ppl r like. 70 yr old men in the farming industry. #i aspire to be like them #hcau #hero’s call au #hcau prism #hcau wind #hcau wild #hcau loft #hcau lorule #hcau ravio #hcau wolf #hcau spirit #hcau mask #hcau ages #hcau oracle #hcau traveler #hcau red #hcau green #hcau blue #hcau vio #goddamn that’s a lot of fellas #ain’t even all of them

[merriclo]

“what’re you gonna do after researching random historical diseases??” make my characters’ families die of black scarlatina, obviously

#hcau prism #hcau red #hcau green #hcau blue #hcau vio #is this a spoiler? a little! but i don’t care!! #‘random’ i say as if scarlet fever isn’t one of the most known historical illnesses

[merriclo]

I don't know yuore oc names uuuhh. does mario kart exist in your world. if it did who wld yr characters main

AHAJDKKA THANK YOU FOR ASKING <3

so the OCs i mainly refer to on this blog are my hero’s call au characters so, tragically, mario kart would not exist in their world :( BUT this is such a funny question that i’m answering it anyway. modern au time bitch. answers below the cut bc damn that’s a lot of guys

going with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe here because that was what first came up when i googled Mario Kart :)

Hero: Luigi. god bless this man he does not know anything about the Mario franchise outside of the first few Mario games. he chose Luigi over Mario because he likes green more than red. (plus he asked Spirit if that was a good choice and she said he was fine so)

Loft: Yoshi. he likes the look of him and he always felt really bad for dropping him into the abyss when playing Mario as a kid so this is a sort of apology

Minish: Toad. they can do a perfect impression of Toad and is not afraid to use it to terrify people.

Prism: either Dry Bowser or Princess Daisy. listen okay this guy is an elite gamer and also a huge fucking nerd, so obviously he’s crunched the numbers; he also really likes Game Theory and watched that one video where MatPat claimed that Dry Bowser (and a specific kart build that i don’t remember) was the fastest. bUt he’s also kind and hates absolutely obliterating his friends every single time, so he tones it down and chooses Princess Daisy (her specifically because his fiancée, Zelda, loves Daisy. if it weren’t for her he’d be Villager Male.)

Mask: Shy Guy. little guy with mask 🤝 little guy with mask.

Oracle: Bowser. this bitch is here to win, but, unlike Prism, he doesn’t have the time to crunch the numbers. so he just.. googled what the best build is and goes with that

Lorule: Birdo. trans rep.

Traveler: Waluigi. he’s obnoxious as hell what else do you expect of it.

Wolf: it’s between Cat Peach and Donkey Kong. HE’S A FURRY he loves both cats and monkeys, but he chooses Cat Peach a little bit more often because he’s also a #feminist

Red: Isabelle. Red is an Animal Crossing player at his core. plus he also loves dogs very much

Green: Dry Bowser. this man is a strategist at heart, he’s gonna do his research and perform as best as he can. though he’s a little embarrassed about how much effort he’s put in to Mario Kart

Blue: Bowser. it’s the exact same story as Oracle: she’s here to fucking win. bUt she isn’t an absolute loser and so just quickly googles who the best is and goes with it. tragically, she’s horrible at video games and loses almost every single time.

Vio: King Boo. she is a huge fuckin nerd, but just not in the video game way. she has no damn clue who to choose, and ends up picking King Boo because ghosts are fun, and definitely not because Shadow mained King Boo. definitely not that at all—

Wind: Inkling Girl. this guy is pretty good at all games, with the single exception of racing games. so, when it comes to Mario Kart, he relies on the wisdom of his little sister, Aryll, who consistently mops the floor with him whenever they play. she mains Inkling Girl, and he hopes and prays that that’ll let him at least not come in at dead last.

Spirit: Dry Bowser and Princess Peach. yet another person who’s a complete and utter nerd. i’ve mentioned this before, but Spirit loves optimization. she’s an engineer, she’s gonna figure out the best combinations and she’s gonna figure them out fast. but, just like Prism, she’s actually nice and doesn’t want to straight up obliterate everyone she plays with, so Princess Peach. (ngl i was tempted to say Birdo again because trans rep but Spirit is such a Princess Peach girlie.)

Ages: Mario. while Ages is also a huge strategy guy, he’s not really a fan of competitive games. give him a pokémon game and he’ll do fantastic, but a racing game?? ehh…. truth be told, he mostly plays story driven games, so he’s very lost in a competitive setting. same story as Hero, really, lmao. they both go for the ole reliables.

Wild: Toad. she saw a little dude with a fat ass mushroom hat and immediately decided to main him. oh and he can also do a perfect impression of Toad. do not leave them and Minish in the same room together or else they will both lose their voices from talking like Toad for hours.

Champion: Wendy O. Koopa. this man(?) is an enigma, no one knows why. he probably doesn’t either.

Rhythm: Waluigi. he’s a middle school band kid for fuck’s sake, of course he’s gonna choose fucking Waluigi.

sorry for any and all typos and tense changes, and thank you again for this question Strawb <3 it’s very fun i had a blast answering it, even if i had to google a lot since i rarely ever play Mario Kart lmao

#funfact i have an extensive modern au for these fellas that i use as warm up/writing practice #since i won’t have to research historical accuracy for it #‘warm up’ aka written in the marina of my notes when i’m bored in class. my peers glance over and see me writing a novel n kindly look away #also. i refer the hcau fellas as OCs because they’re barely Links anymore #like at this point i’ve changed so much about them that if i changed their names and a little bit of the story i’d have something original #i abide by a lot of canon but canon is held together by dental floss and a dream so #margins of my notes* not marina T.T #fuck it this goes in the main tags #hero’s call au #hcau #hcau hero #hcau loft #hcau minish #hcau prism #hcau mask #hcau oracle #hcau lorule #hcau traveler #hcau wolf #hcau red #hcau green #hcau blue #hcau vio #hcau wind #hcau spirit #hcau ages #hcau wild #hcau champion #hcau rhythm #i could add the villains of hcau to this but y’all don’t know them like at all so. i’ll just keep ‘em mostly a secret for now lmao
