    One thing i find very interesting about Four is the fact that he seems to be one of the Link that is the least afected by Ganon, in Memories pt1 while most links seem to be in a more emotional moment while taking about Ganon(especially Legend) Four and Time are the two that don't look much afected during the conversation, i believe that the reason for that is that due to Four facing Vaati so much more times that Ganon, that the Wind Mage probably became the one that afected him more, and It could be a similar thing with Time, were maybe he had more trauma involving Majora than with Ganon( altough the poor guy definetly has alot trauma involving both)

    • @laceforest6892
      @laceforest6892  Год назад +25

      That could be true, Ganon really did just show up right at the end of Four swords, as well as Vaati's teacher was Four's Guild in Minish cap, so Vaati would have effected him more.

    One of the things I hope they go into is Four's relationship with his family and Dot since he is one of the few Links to have living family members and was friends with Zelda before the beginning of their games. It also makes sense timeline wise why Four is the most wary of the Twili magic Twilight uses to turn into his wolf form given that his game is set after the Interloper War and he probably learned about it at school.

    • @laceforest6892

    Linked universe is the best execution I've seen of all the Link's interacting together.
    All the others i've seen seem... pandering and unfocused which can happen while working with too many characters.
    While in this one... they all feel like family members with a bond weather or not they want to admit it... which is also perfect bc its heavily implied they share a family tree with Wind maybe being the exception to the rule.
    I don't know how the artist makes them all feel like individuals. Truely amazing.
    Also amazing video, I subbed as I am a sucker for character studdies.

    • @ghostlyfae8721
      @ghostlyfae8721 4 месяца назад +5

      Well 🤔 when we think of the heart, it is red. Also, people perceived as overly emotional/compassionate tend to be referred to as bleeding hearts. The color red works perfectly for Four's emotional side. As for blue, it can be a symbol of calmness, melancholy (emotional to say), intelligence, and so on. However, blue can also represent coldness (self-centeredness), like being distant/harsh from others' feelings and thoughts. For instance, imagine Blue being like the ocean. He may appear calm from a distance, but he is an unpredictable wave - one that can injure fatally. In the case of Four's aggressive side, he is self-centered, harsh, and easily angered/upset. Water always ripples when a gentle breeze blows or a pebble is dropped.
      (When you really think about it, Red and Blue are both sensitive in their own way.)

    Four is legit my favorite character in Zelda itself (as the Minish Cap is my favorite game) and in the comic. I love playing see which part of Link is up front when going through the comic again
    Also I'm glad Four wasn't a system. When I write him, I write him how Jojo usually does, plus a mix of him hearing the extra tidbits of the colors commenting as his thoughts.

    Just got into LU a few days ago after a lifetime of only knowing about LOZ through internet osmosis, so I'm eager to tear through all your character analysis videos for the Chain like a bag of potato chips (especially Legend, what is his deal mannnn). Four swiftly became my favorite due to his unique design and confident, responsible, levelheaded personality. I know you called him arrogant here (and I mean, in his games, he might have been; children can sometimes be arrogant lbr), but I think that's tempered into well-earned confidence in his own abilities by the time LU rolls around. However, this isn't to say there's no room for character development on his part. I think the struggle between heart, head, and duty we see personified in the Colors will always be a part of him in some way, but I think that makes him even more interesting as a character, and there are a lot of places Jojo could take him from here. I think it's good that there are at least a couple members of the Chain that aren't a walking traincar full of emotional baggage, too, keeps things from getting too dour. XD Four seems remarkably well-adjusted for going through everything he did so young. I'm eager to see where his relationship with the rest of the Chain goes from here, too, as the resolution to his conflict with Wild was fantastic, and it was great to see how Four quietly took care of everyone (and Epona) while Twilight was injured. Off to Time's video now! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

    @martemil1403 Год назад +11

    I really love Four because he has so much potential!
    Already the Colors are a really big and complex thing.
    I am kinda of relifed that he isn’t a system because he is already complex and things like a System are really hard to write if you have no expirience with it, it’s only a risk to write wrong things and ruin a character, considering that this Fan Comic is really complex already since there are at least nine really different characters to expand on, let’s keep somethings simple.
    Personally I see Four as someone with a really big personality in general, maybe the sword made it even bigger and defined, for this motive you can kinda see one of the Colors in each responds he gives, since I hope they will be characters in themself in the future we will also see how deep they really are.
    In the Four sword Manga they are pretty surface level, at the exception of Green (who in the end is a bit more of how we see Link usually) and Vio (who gets a bit more deep thanks to his role with Shadow), Blue is a hot head but he is a bit deeper than Red, who is pretty flat in my opinion even if he is tecnically Link’s purest emotions, all of them have unused potential that could be explored in this Fan Comic.
    The fact that Four is so ‘stable’ with himself and who he is, it’s probably because he had to litterally pass time with himself without the ability to not look at the deeper parts of himself, which is a thing that many of the members of the Chain need as well.
    Other aspect of Four story both in the manga and the games are also so interesting, like Shadow (which I really hope will be present since it’s another Dark Link to cause all of their problems) and the whole thing with Legend (another opportunity for character development for both of them)
    I really like your video, they are so good!
    You really do a good and deep interpretation of this characters, personally giving me the possibility to look at them under a different light and also you just give information I didn’t have.
    I really love LoZ and LU, I follow a lot of fan content on it and between fanart, fanfiction, personal opinions ecc I loose some informations from the original creators (for a example I had no idea that the author of LU had made a post about Four not been a system), but thanks to videos like yours (and you are the only creator to make video on LU) I can catch up!
    So thank you and keep up you amazing work!❤

      I too really hope Shadow shows up! As well as hope we see Four and Legend talk about the Four Sword, there's so much there that could happen!
      Also! If you want to read more about how jojo writes Four and stuff, I had gotten that info from "Sunset pt9" after the comic, there's some text from Jojo about Four!

      @@laceforest6892 there is so much to explorer for a story that all the Links meet, unfortunately Jojo can't put it all.
      The amazing thing is that, even if them meeting was probably always a thing in the fandom, but I believe that Jojo kinda made this concept explode more since they created an identity for each Link which is good and has inspired many people online (the sheer number of fanfictions and fan arts is a big proof of this). There are also other versions of the Links meeting (their are projects of other creators and I don't know if they started from before or after LU) like Linked Maze, which gives it's own spin on the characters (I haven't read it yet, just a small part)
      There are already very good fan fictions on Legend and Four (in one in particular they go to the Palace of the Four Sword in Twilight's time, where Four is still trapped since nobody has ever came there and the Chain wants to save them)
      Also, now that I think about it, there are also many interesting things with Warriors! I don't think Jojo explored on him much for now but the whole War of Era is a big thing since he technically has met a younger Time and Toon Link, which is Wind so it could develop a lot of stuff.

    I wouldnt say Wind knows of his secret as being able to shrink, only Twilight does, All Four told Wind was that there exists minish and they hid thing in the grass. So I doubt Wind knows of his capability to shrink. I also want to add that in the chapter "A Secret" when they are talking about Wolf from Twilight, Four is curious with a doubious face as he questions Time talk about 'Strange magical items' We know this came out in the whole Twilight getting hurt part, but it still an interesting note to make that he dont trust many magical items that change someone. not sure what we can do with this info, that is just something I noticed going through the doodles.
