This poor guy has been through so many adventures, two of which I recently added to his backstory unfortunately. He certainly lives up to his title with all the experience he has.
I originally had it so that Legend came back after Link’s Awakening for a fifth adventure based loosely on the CDI games and cartoon. In that adventure, I had Myth fall in love with a guy from Gamelon and would later marry and have a child with him (who would go on to be Moon in Ancient Stone Tablets). However, I ended up moving that to being Legend’s second adventure to give Myth enough time to have a child old enough for participating in AST since AST occurs six years after Legend’s last adventure in the Dream timeline. It wouldn’t have made sense for Myth to obtain a husband and 9-10 year old child in the span of 6 years leading up to AST.
So now, Legend’s unnamed adventure right after Link’s Awakening is a simple quest to kill some monsters invading Hyrule in the Reality timeline. In the Dream timeline though, since Legend ends up staying in Koholint, he doesn’t end up going on that sixth adventure. In his absence, Myth uses the wand of Gamelon once more to temporarily seal the monsters away and prays Legend returns soon to permanently defeat them. He never does due to living in the dream world, and the monsters break free six years later and triggers Star and Sun being summoned to Hyrule for AST.
Myth’s daughter Moon is around the same age as Star and Sun this way, allowing her to be the main Princess Zelda in BS TLOZ which occurs six more years later. (Also Star and Sun end up having two princess Zeldas just like Fay, one of whom they share with Legend which I think is neat)
Hopefully this way, all the ages and years match up now:
A Link to the Past: Legend (15), Myth (19)
CDI: Legend (almost 17), Myth (21) falls in love with a guy from Gamelon
Oracle of Seasons: Legend (19), Myth (23) gets married right before Legend leaves
Myth (24) gives birth to her daughter Moon, Legend (20) adores his niece and hopes to find love and raise a family of his own one day
Oracle of Ages: Legend (almost 21), Myth (25), Moon (1)
Link’s Awakening: Legend (21) fell in love but was devastated, Myth (25), Moon (2)
Unnamed 6th adventure: Legend (22 in the Reality timeline), Myth (26), Moon (3)
Can I say "pretty much everything from Zelda 2". 😓
Apart from that, probably Like-Likes, especially the OoT/MM ones because I have a visceral phobia of worms and slugs eww eww eww eww. But even in the 2D games, they are too annoying to kill and then you get slurped up 😩
38. Creepiest enemy?
The concept of Dead Hand is so fucked up I can't believe they put it in a Zelda game. @embyrinitalics knows (and enabled) my trauma 😆 Kudos to @linksthoughtbrambles too for making use of it recently in fic 👏
39. Which Zelda game, in your opinion, had the most satisfying ending?
Well I was searching for a deeper answer but I think it'd have to be Spirit Tracks for giving me practically everything I could ask for 😆 💕
40. Most out-of-place thing in the series?
I'm still weirded out by the Goombas in Link's Awakening to this day 😂
"You know." Link eyed with worrying calmness the steep cliff they were facing. "You could've said no."
Link hummed, and Robert knew he was not being taken seriously.
"You do know that this only makes me more suspicious about your motives, right?"
Link looked up, to the glimmering rocks that adorned the roof of the cave.
"Well, I think that now you are right," Link opened his bagpack and took out a pair of boots that looked uncomfortable heavy, "I'm in love with her."
Robert made a surprised sound, and he would have loved to follow that train of thought, mainly because his ego was going rampant with joy. 'I knew it,' he would have liked to say, followed by an embarrassed Link who would stumble with his words. Something that would have totally happened if Robert had gone with that. But he didn't. Because Link was putting on those monstruous boots and Robert had more questions than answers, How in Hylia's name would those heavy-ass boots help them get across? Link looked confident enough, that was for sure, but Robert could still fell waves of heat coming from below the cliff, right from where the magma moved under them, and that, along with some questionable thoughts, 'Link was not going to go and try to walk directly on magma, was he?' made him whimper, "Dude, what are you doing?"
Link had the gall to wink at him and whisper, "Sheika arts."
The only reason Robert didn't scream in surprise was the shock that seeing Link upside-down gave him, "What?"
Link tightened his straps and moved along the ceiling toward a spot nearer Robert. "Come on, you gotta hang onto me."
Robert shook his head, "The fuck did you do?"
Link couldn't help the grin on his face, "I told you, Sheika arts."
"How in the... no... you're not magical, are you?" It would explain a lot of things, though, Robert thought.
Link was having a greater time than last time he had been here moving up and down the caves so he indulged a little, "As with most magical acts, it's just science, Robert, the boots have a sole hidden by a metal sheet," Link then crouched and pointed to a protruding piece of metal from the side of the boot, "you move it with that. You open it you get attracted to the nearest magnetic thing you have, which is this cave's roof."
Robert looked up and traced with his eyes the way to the other side of the room they were in, "You close it up," he said.
"And we'll get safely to the other side."
Robert swore that if Link even fake-dropped him he would cry so hard monsters would come. Link was too much of a nice person to even keep on pestering Robert with it, so in a more-than-tense couple of seconds for Robert they were on the other side.
"Oh, Hylia, that was nerve-wracking."
Link took off the boots and scoffed.
"I thought you only killed the monsters, I had no idea you did," Robert moved his hands around, trying to explain how he would have never imagined that as part of the adventure.
"Come on, we gotta move."
Robert looked back, "Sure, sure." Link was wiping the sweat that had pooled on his forehead. "I had to ask you more about what you said back there, though, you sneaky bastard."
"How am I sneaky? You can ask all you want."
Robert moved to stand next to Link, expecting the blond to shy away or to at least blush, "So you're in love with the princess?"
But Link didn't even falter, "Yes, I would say so."
Robert coughed, "With, you know, Her Excellency Zelda Eugenia Harkinian Hyrule?"
"Yes, Robert, with her."
"So, to make things clear, all this mumbo jumbo we're doing is for her, right?"
Link cocked his head and made an unsure face, "You could make a connection, for sure." Robert was getting too close to Link, so Link answered before he could hear anything from Robert, "And I mean it like, this is more for the councilpeople than for her, more for Hyrule than her, this was not a request nor a demand, this was a choice I made."
Robert had his brows furrowed and he was starting to forget the heat biting at him, "But-"
Link nodded, "Yes, I know, I know that this is for her, it's just- you know-"
Robert didn't know.
"-I would like to do something for her her," Link stressed, "Like, not something that will help her in a roundabout way, or something she is doing for the sake of other... like..."
"Something she asks of you?" Robert helped.
"For her," Link finished.
Link turned after a couple of seconds, Robert was still, a few meters behind.
"I just fucking knew it." Robert smiled.
"How do you eat with a heat like this?" Robert couldn't remember what fresh water felt like.
"You'll get used to it," Link chewed a fresh but warm hearty apple.
"I don't want to," Robert cried. What did a dry body felt like, anyway? He was sweating from his Goddesses forsaken shins! "Oh, Hylia, take me. Link do you have water, please?"
"In my bag."
Robert plodded to it, sighing with every movement. Why couldn't Hyrule have trouble with the Zoras? Then they could have been able to suffer through lakes and fields and cold water. Robert went straight for the skin of water, his mind was muddled and he didn't look around too much. When he felt the surge of energy come through his fingertips, Robert only yelped and fell on his ass.
"Robert?"
Robert looked at his fingers, sure that he was going to find them burnt or frozen or maybe letting out some sparks. "What?"
"What happened?"
"Uh. Something on your bag snapped at me?" Maybe, Robert wasn't sure.
Link was about to sit again and keep on eating, letting Robert with his fantasies alone, but then he remembered the shard of the mirror of twilight was there, and somehow everything clicked.
Link was walking towards Robert the next moment, "Do you feel all right?"
Robert did his best to remain calm, "I don't feel bad."
That had to be enough. Link crouched and went to take the shard, expecting to feel a magic connection or a jolt of energy or whatever had happened to Robert. But the shard rested on his palm and Link eyed it with defiance, "Robert, are you sure you touched it?"
"It almost took my hand, of course I touched it."
Link turned and showed it to Robert, "Well, it's doing nothing to me."
Robert made a disgusted face, "Well, you're weird so."
Link took the shard and pressed it against Robert's forearm.
"Link, you son of a-"
"It seems you're fine now."
"-baba!" Robert looked at the shard and then at Link, "You are the worst, you know."
They finished their meal with Robert allucinating about cold showers and cold air.
If Robert had been scared shitless from seeing Link fight that time in the cave. But now, seeing him fight against three lizalfos, in between platforms that were surrounded by magma, with Link dodging, jumping and even making one of the lizalfos fall into the furious red that surrounded them, Robert was mesmerized, terrified and completely in awe.
"Thanks for taking care of the bags," Link joked when he came back.
Robert remembered Link's bloodied figure, his lifeless eyes, and the sight that he could see now was so opposite to it he couldn't help but smile, "Well, I would love to see you getting back without those damn boots."
Robert hadn't really thought about it before, he had followed Link out of a sense of duty. Yes, him, duty. And a sense of gratitude Robert was still unsure how to repay, but now, Robert wondered.
I return the Thunder Helm to Riju, who proceeds to shield me during our assault on the aggressive stomp-camel. Naboris itself is a giant, rotating puzzle that absolute baffles me and I struggle with the speedy Thunderblight Ganon.

Okay, so this will be the 59 characters (including me) I will be using in this blog. This post, as well as the last one, will be in constant growth, so… Yeah. Keep close attention for those you want to roleplay with!
I'll start publishing the character stories and profiles soon, starting by Haziel. I won't follow the order they are in here, I'll simply post their stories.
