Alright to Add? Yes!
Time Zone: UTC+10
Tagging Speed/Preferences: Generally at least once per day, but it will vary. Happy to boomerang if timezones and schedules allow. I am admittedly not a fan of actionspam - I find it tricky to read, so I prefer prose.
About Me: Australian, so I will tag at strange times and stubbornly insist on having the letter 'u' in certain words. I've also been out of the rp scene for a little while (life during the pandemic got hectic), but I'm keen to get back into things with Link.

Character

Character Name: Link
Canon: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Canon Point: Just post-canon / after defeating Ganon
Age: ~~OVER 100~~ for all intents and purposes, somewhere around 17-18.

About My Character: Amnesiac hero with poor social skills who runs around in the wilderness, solves puzzles, and beats up lots of monsters with a shiny sword and infinite bombs. Also really likes cooking.

He also now has Memory Projection as an ability, because I can't resist irony.

CR I'm Looking For: Link is hilariously unprepared to deal with people on a regular basis, so anyone and everyone at this stage.

Plots I'm Looking For: I'm definitely keen to get him involved in missions. He's also going to want to go exploring, and will probably regularly just disappear into the jungle.

Character Arc Ideas: Link's very much led an isolated experience (at least that he can remember), so I'm interested in him learning how to actually develop relationships with other people. Other than that, I generally like to just wing it and see what happens.

Other: I spent ages trying to figure out what to put here and I have come up with nothing, whoops

I am... probably not the most helpful, because all I have is an awkward teenager who is really bad at socializing and doesn't really know how to people very well. But he's also one of the few cast who's... not significantly older than Link. There's a small handful of babies now.

I'm also someone who is... haphazard with my u usage. In that I'm English, but also grew up in America so it's a mixed bag which spelling my brain pulls out at any given time these days.

Hey, there's a lot of potential fun to be had with two awkward teenagers being super awkward at each other. I'm game to throw them at each other and see what happens!

His thread with Eight ended up being Super Good and surprisingly emotional for two child soldier types. Though Eight's a little further along in the 'becoming less of a living weapon' type than Heero is. It's part of his arc for here. Learning how to people and be More Than War.

Will be fun to see what happens! I'm... a Bad Fan in that I haven't played BOTW, but I am a long time fan. Is BOTW Link someone who might enjoy say... long periods of silence not talking and just existing near each other doing their own thing? lol

Oh, was Eight you? I really enjoyed that thread! I must confess I had been hoping she would join the game, hah

And yes, Link would totally be the type to happy just sit around saying nothing at all for long periods of time.

(Also don't worry about being a Bad Fan - I have actually played relatively few Zelda games, mainly due to just...not having the consoles to play them on. Apart from BotW, I only ever played the game boy Zelda games)

Oh no! I was just saying that Heero's thread with Eight ended up super poignant and just... ugh. All the feels. I'm waiting very keenly for them to app. She's the first person I've been like "Yup, that's a tether. Right there. 100%" so I'm trying to wait patiently.

Might not be the most exciting threads, but they can be work in silence on other things together buddies and that's Fine. Heero could definitely use a few of those. Too many extroverts would burn him out super quick.

Link to the Past was a game of my... not really childhood, but tweenhood? I used to watch a step-dad play it all the time and just... tbh I think it's probably my favourite even if I usually tell people it's Ocarina. (I burnt out the laser on my Gamecube as a teen. Partially Ocarina's fault) I've played some Majora's Mask, but never beat it. Ditto Twilight Princess. I beat Skyward Sword either early this year or late last year. Link's very much a 'idk if this is one of my fictional crushes or if this is just gender envy' type characters. lol

That said. I love the Oracle games! I wish they'd release them on Switch. Or just.. more of them on Switch. All the Zelda games pls Nintendo.

I guess we'll just both have to hope that Eight apps then!

They might do best in things like actiony-type threads, where there's a Task for them to work on. But no reason we can't handwave 'lots of sitting in silence' happening at other time.

I loved the Oracle games! They were definitely a big part of my childhood - I hope they get remade one day too. And I would like to play Skyward Sword sometime - I just haven't yet had the budget for it. (Also I am...generally very late to video games. Very, very late.)

Fingers are crossed.

Some mission stuff. or stuff related to skills or the like. There's a lot to learn here. I'm down with handwaving that type of thing. I'm not usually a fand of handwaving too much, but in that case it kinda makes sense.

To be fair, Skyward Sword was a wii game and I got it after the switch port... and I traded in a game to get it. So I kinda feel you there.

Those and Link's awakening, which I bought at a garage sale and then played relentlessly. I've debated trying the remake, but I'm concerned about Muh Nostalgia.

I'm definitely keen to do mission stuff, so there should be options there.

How is the switch port? Motion control stuff is something I have very little experience with, nevermind how well it works well translated to the switch.

I have enjoyed the remake of Link's Awakening, but I also can't remember the original that well, so I couldn't tell you how well it does as an update.

Sounds like a good idea. They should have skillsets that work pretty well together, so we'll have to see what comes up.

I have a switch light so I couldn't tell you, because for my switch there is none. XD

The art style is very different. Maybe one day, but I'm broke and... there are a lot of other more pressing games I'd get before that one.

In that case, how is it without the motion controls? XD

And that's totally fair - there's lots out there to play, after all. And alas, none of us have endless time and money...

Plays just fine! Though I did find certain fight types a little awkward. But they're not that frequent and usually pretty easy when they are. Until they aren't. But it kinda fits with a ramping difficulty there.

Especially as an unemployed disabled person. Money is... well, let's be real what little money I have often gets spent in ways that probably aren't as smart as they could be because the adhd gets trigger happy. Whoops~

Well then, that's good to know! I'll have to give a go once I've got the budget for it.

So Ezra spent about 8 years being a street orphan who spent a lot of time alone in the grasslands outside of the main city on his homeworld. And he's spent about 4 years growing into a social being again!

Turns out he's incredibly friendly, once he has a sense of purpose beyond sheer survival. And having support network helps.

At any rate, these two should Vibe.

Well, that's four years of being social he's got on Link then :P

Totally happy to have the two vibe!

Hi Blue! It's PG from Syn!

I...have absolutely no idea how Layla and Link might get along, but I'm excited at the prospect of playing with you again.

Omg, PG! I didn't realise the Layla-mun Gail mentioned was you!

I also have no idea how they will get along, but I'm totally psyched to share a game with you again!
