Link, he come to town!



Hello, everyone! I'm Psi and I'm brand new to the game. If you'd like to add me on Plurk, you can reach me at [plurk.com profile] PsiYamaneko (though to be honest I often don't check back there so be sure to ping me if you need me!). I'm also on Discord...very rarely. I'll try to get better about that.

I bring with me a pointy-eared fellow from an indie series called The Legend of Zelda. This is specifically Link from Twilight Princess. More specifically still it's Link from the Twilight Princess manga! Yeah, buckle up.

The manga follows the game across the broad strokes. Certain side quests are dropped, dungeons are cut down to a few rooms and a fight or two and more time is spent with the characters which means Link himself is probably the biggest deviation from the source material. First off, he talks. A lot. Constantly. He's also ostensibly a bit older than he is in the game with a Dark and Troubled Past in place before the story even kicks off. He's not from Ordon either, but from the desert. There was a town there once. It's gone now. It's his fault so he sort of hates himself.

He's about what one would expect from a Link: Courageous, valiant, humble about his destiny, proud of his strength, kind and gentle. He also acts like a big, dopey playful puppy dog to distract anyone from noticing that he's running around with an encyclopedia's worth of existential angst and rage issues.... Enjoy!
