animus_network | Video - whoops this got kind of long

[Hello, network. Have a nine year old. c:]

... Um. Okay, so... I noticed that a lot of people were getting really confused!
About us, I mean. The Links around here! And that's not good, being confused about us - we didn't mean to confuse anyone!

[He gives the feed a little bow, before continuing.]

But it's okay! I'm going to explain it, now - I even have a picture! Pictures always help me understand, so I thought it would help everyone, too!

[That's when Link holds this up to the camera, smiling around it.]

See - we go really far back! The Link that came from the sky - we call him Sky so we don't get confused. But Sky was a really really old Link!
All the other Links are named after him, I think. And without even knowing it! All the Heroes throughout time are named Link, maybe!

There's probably a couple Links between Sky and the next two, but these two are who we call "Woods" and "Forest"! Forest is Woods when he's little, so I guess they're kind of the same person. They're Sky's great-great-great-great-a few more greats-grandkids! Or, um. Grandkid, I guess, since they're kind of the same person.
They're the Hero of Time, and really legendary where I come from, so be polite to them, okay? And Princess Zelda too, but everyone knows that you gotta be polite to princesses.

And uh... after they fought a big evil man called Ganondorf and sealed him away, something happened and the world got flooded, and then I was born!
Um... The King told me I'm not related to the other Links, though. I've just got the same name.
You can tell I'm not related 'cause I have green eyes, and they have blue!

[And getting all up in the feed so everyone can tell --]

See? Green.

But um - I'm the really latest Hero; the Hero of Winds! But it's not hard to understand now, right? It's a Hero thing; all Heroes are named Link! And we're not the same people, either! Except Woods and Forest, I guess. Since Forest is just Woods when he's little.

I can answer questions if people have any, too - I don't mind! I'm really nice, I promise!

.....

This is all really confusing, kid. But I think I got it. I'm still gonna call you "kid".

Well, that's okay! You can call me whatever you want, Linebeck.
Tetra calls me "kid" too, so I'm used to that!

But if it's still confusing, you can ask me stuff. I don't mind!

[The point is to make this not confusing, so...]

i guess i should explain things since me and woods still confuse everyone its really complicated though but thats because theres a lot of traveling through time when youre the hero of time anyway im actually from the future as far as woods is concerned after saving hyrule i went looking for a friend and found another land named termina and so ive had two adventures now i would explain more but i dont know if woods is okay with it so ill stop here for now hope that helps

wow that is actualy a lot more confsing than i thought
but thats okay because you explaned it!

i still dont really get it btu i am bad with time
thats why im the hero of winds and not the hero of tiem like you guys are

[There may or may not have been just a bit of chuckling on this end of the line, despite the painful reminder of Hyrule's fate.]

How thoughtful of you, to take it upon yourself to explain to everyone.

Well, we can't let everyone be confused, right?

[That's said pretty simply, too; like hiding things from people has never crossed his mind before.]

[Sigh, so innocent.]

No, especially not with rumors of copies and the like going around.

[Lookin' at you, Lina.]

Mhm!

I'm not sure what it would be like being a copy, either!
I bet it'd be really weird.

... But I bet we could play lots of jokes on people!

[tee hee. ouo]

[If she were the type she would be rolling her eyes. Fondly, of course. Link, saying you would play jokes on people after explaining all that does not lend you credence.]

And here I was under the impression that you wished to reduce confusion.

... W-well! We'd tell everyone afterwards, I promise!

[Whoops.]

Besides, jokes that last too long stop being funny!

Ok... so... there's four of you. Right? Ok. You're the youngest, both physical age and..... timeline... wise. Two of em are from before that Hyrule place was flooded... and one from even longer before that. Is that about right? And you all wear the same friggin' outfit.

Mhm! And the outfit is called Hero's Clothes for a reason, Linebeck. But we all wear it for different reasons, I guess.

But see - Sky was the very first one, we think! And then a bunch of years passed, and Forest was the next Hero, the one from out legends! And Woods too, since... since time stuff. I don't know, I'm bad with the time stuff.

And you already know about me, so yeah - you've got it!

So you wear it because the heroes that came before you did? [he strokes his beard. Yeah... that makes sense.]

Wait, you mean... one of those Links is THE Hero? From the stories? THE ACTUAL ONE? He... wow... I didn't think those stories were true... [but obviously they are. What with the actual Hero of Time being here, and Hyrule ACTUALLY being down under the ocean... he looks a little flabbergasted]

Edited 2012-04-04 00:18 (UTC)

Yep! The ones I call Forest and Woods - they look alike and everything, 'scept Forest is shorter.

And well, I actually call Woods "Big Brother", because he treats me really nicely; like I treat my sister Aryll, almost!
He's not actually my brother though... I'm not related to any of them.

[Which is. Kind of a sad thing to him, but that's okay!!! They're like family, anyway!]

Well, even if you don't have the blood of a hero, you got the spirit. I've seen it! And the clothes. And you know what they say, the clothes make the man!

I guess that's true! You look really captainy, after all!

[That's all the proof he needs, ayup.]

Heh! My father dressed this way, and his father before him! Seems like traditional clothes are the way we work, kid.

So... so if you have a kid, he'll dress that way too, right?

[... That sounds like a pretty cool tradition, to Link.]

Of course! I'll probably give 'im this very coat! ... Or her. I doubt a little girl would want this, though.

... I dunno. I think Tetra would like it!

[She'd probably get it torn up though, whoops.]

[Oh goodness, you are precious.]

...I had not been aware that there were quite so many of you around.

[That's his job!!

And she's going to get a smile and a nod, too.]

Well, it's really only four of us, I think. But I guess that's a lot of people sharing the same name!

[Can she adopt you? *^*]

It certainly is- do any of you have surnames?

[oh his brain, why is this happening, why are there so many of the...not...same person...]

So..."Link" is more like a title than a name...

Mmm, that little pirate girl probably would. It's way too big for her, though!

[Probably. The coat is actually patched in a few places, but it's done so well it's hard to tell. ~~LINEBECK SEWS~~]
