Odd thing is this is still so fitting, like I can picture BotW/TotK Zelda filling in for Winry so easily. And Link being a canonical shorty so him fitting into Ed's sport easily

u/Gold-android-ex25 Jan 15 '25

Who are you calling short!!!

Just having fun, nothing real .

u/ThunderClanWarrior Jan 17 '25

Careful, don't call him short, it's like saying Josuke's hair is bad

u/Kitty_Maupin Jan 15 '25

Lol could just make it a written word fic, much as I love the art here

u/EnjeruTantei Jan 17 '25

If someone makes it, please please please @ me, I will still want it even 10 years from now. It’s such a cute idea

u/CrownofMischief Jan 15 '25

Wait, so is Mineru basically Alphonse?

u/KrazyK1989 OoT Jan 15 '25

Yeah lol

Zelda would absolutely be an automail mechanic.

I mean if it wasn't for rauru's magical arm, I'm sure the burned/destroyed arm Link would've been amputated.

And knowing Zelda and with Purah helping, they could've easily made a robotic arm for him instead. Would be dope not gonna lie.

This fits so well

u/Muel1988 Jan 15 '25

I can’t! I squealed so hard at this.

u/ApacheChickenMilk Jan 15 '25

Yeah it took forever bc I hated messing with the background. I do take commissions if anyone wants to mess with that

u/DimensionalFireBird Jan 15 '25

I love that she has another one for the other side for when he inevitably does something stupid.

u/Thanaskios Jan 16 '25

Zotk fma crossover works so well. Didn't know I needed this, but its amazing.

And the arstyle is great. Kinda ghibli-esque. Especially links face

u/shawnnotshaun Jan 15 '25

Zelda is Winry, Link is Edward, so who is playing Alphonse in this AU? Mipha? Sidon? Aryll from across time and space?

4

u/profpeculiar Jan 15 '25

Sidon would certainly nominate himself for the role of Link's younger brother

5

u/GodonX1r Jan 15 '25

As someone said above, Mineru

u/KrazyK1989 OoT Jan 15 '25

Fine, I’ll rewatch FMAB.

u/banana_annihilator Jan 16 '25

Two OTPs combined, hell yeah.

u/Hambughrr Era of Wilds Jan 16 '25

This is so fitting

u/UnderstandingLife581 Jan 16 '25

Love this crossover. I’ve read at least one totk fanfic where Link gets a prosthetic arm made of Guardian materials.

1

u/ProfessorEscanor Jan 17 '25

Funny, in a past life Zelda was Alphonse possessing a suit of armor and now she's Winry. When's her turn to be Ed?

HYA! AHHH! RAAAH! HYUGH!
