    Summary

    Hyrule knows better than to drink potions on an empty stomach, but after one particularly taxing fight with a lot of wounds to heal, he passes out before he has a chance to eat one of his sugar cakes. He resigns himself to suffer through the resulting stomach cramps alone; it’s his own fault after all, and the others don’t need to get worked up over something he knows isn’t a big deal. A certain someone, however, is determined to make it so he doesn’t have to suffer. And to get him some better sugar cakes too.

    Summary

    Snow is the incarnation of Ganon’s spirit, of this Wind was certain.

    He doesn’t care about what nonsense the others say about how Ganon is always a pig or man or something, Wind knew the truth. He was not fooled like his brethren. Pure evil came in the form of tiny white specks of pain.

    And right now Wind’s never seen so many specks in his life.

    Or-

    Wind and the snow have personal beef

    Summary

    Legend had a sneaking suspicion that there was something off about his and Hyrule’s timeline. Something rather life altering - literally. It was driving him insane. He needed to get to the bottom of it.

    Or the Downfall Timeline has its heroes die, but come back to life every time. This leads to some issues.

    Summary

    On a night in Legend's era, safe within the boundaries of an unnamed town, the veteran finds himself unstable but unable to sleep.

    He intended to just sleep off the concussion at best, or take a potion the next morning when they restocked on them at worse. He probably shouldn't have gone outside where he was easily seen while not at his best and without basically any of his items.

    Summary

    A battle gone south results in the heroes struggling to hold off their attackers and keeping their wounded alive. A portal comes to bail them out... but things go from bad to worse when a monster experienced in killing heroes arrives. The only ones left behind were Wind and Legend, who had been holding the horde off as the others escaped through the portal.

    Summary

    Legend loved music, goddesses, half his adventures revolved around music and he loved it. Was he surprised that Time turned to him, the veteran who also knew music, and confided in him his musical back-up plan? A little, but he understood taking precautions.

    He was more surprised when that precaution paid off, but its a good thing Nayru owed him one.

    Summary

    Most Sheikah swore fealty to the goddess, and eventually the royal family, from an early age. Those who trained to be in service of either would have an official ceremony where they swore to give their lives to serve the goddess and protect her bloodline.

    This was the duty that Legend had, but that duty had nothing to do with the decision he made.

    Summary

    Legend’s life felt like one awful event after another, starting with the death of his parents and most recently the death of his best friend Marin. Sometimes it just felt like him and his brother, Hyrule, against the world.

    Or at least it did, until he found a wonderful, supportive group of friends.

    Summary

    Legend, Sky, and Time are separated from the rest of the group. Normally this would be fine, they were perfectly capable to take care of themselves.

    The problem came when someone from Legend's past noticed their presence and was quick to capitalize on it and their standing injuries.

    Summary

    "Why can't you ever just use a map! Follow the path!" Legend complained, Hyrule grinning in front of him.

    "Why would I even bother? It's so much more fun to not! I make my paths," Hyrule declared as he laughed.

    Legend covered his eyes with a hand. "You’re exhausting. "I'm the Traveler and I choose my own paths! No map can tell me what to do!"" He mocked.

    Hyrule just laughed at him.

     

    ... Legend wasn't laughing anymore.

    Summary

    Legend wasn't actively hiding his pedigree from the other heroes... but he was avoiding telling them that he was a prince as long as he could. Of course, he knew it wouldn't stay secret forever, but he would put it off to avoid the eventual betrayal from the knights in the group.

    Finally, that not-quite-hidden secret came to light when Legend took the other heroes to Hyrule Castle. At least the reveal itself had been amusing, it's aftermath? Not so much.

    Summary

    He tried to get comfortable, his eye watching Wild as the vet tried to sleep, Twilight’s words replaying in his head, over and over. Wild will be fine. Wild will be fine. Wild will be fine…

    Wild, was in fact, not fine.

    --

    Link has gone through it; he woke up without any memory of who he was or where he was, was told to save the world by some dead king, did it and saved Hyrule and Zelda, accidentally awoke an evil mummy, got the arm of some dead king (but a different dead king from 10,000 years ago), saved Hyrule AGAIN, reversed Zelda from her new dragon form by losing said other dead king's arm, leaving him an amputee and unable to use a sword, gained Mineru's secret stone and became the sage of spirit, which allowed him to make his own ghost-arm and use a sword again. Now 8 strangers are claiming to know him. He is so tired.

    --OR--

    Wild leaves for TOTK, and after not seeing him for 7 months, he returns and the Chain find him missing an arm, even more traumatized (they didn't know that was possible), and with a fancy new purple stone. But the weirdest, and scariest, part, is that he doesn't remember who they are.

    Summary

    "No excuse," Legend exclaimed. "There is no excuse to be fighting a battle for a whole hour straight!"

    "Obviously you've never fought a war," Warriors deadpanned. "Got any injuries?"

    "No, for both, but still! Unholy amounts of enemies? Fine. I get it. But barely twenty? Against the nine of us? Goddesses, I could take out twenty alone on half my adventures within ten minutes!"

    "Oh shut up," Wild snorted. "Yeah right."

    Legend opened his mouth to retort only for not a sound to fall out. He sat up quickly as he heard Hyrule pipe up to side with him but that wasn't his worry.

    Why couldn't he speak?

    Summary

    Despite the young Hero of Legend’s best efforts, the spirit of the Master Sword faded after Ganon was defeated (the first time). Some years and five other adventures later, Link discovers a book that will allow him to help and guide the heroes that come after him like Fi did for him during his first adventure.

    Summary

    Legend was never cruel or unhinged. His attacks led to a quick death and the hero never seemed to revel in bloodshed. Today all precedents were being thrown out the window.

    Legend has to protect Hyrule. He loses it a little bit.

    Summary

    After traveling together for so long, each Link has started to pick up on the more subtle "quirks".

    But quirks or not, they all have to care for each other, because they might all come from different periods in history and time, but they've form a weird "band of brothers" together.

    A slightly dysfunctional band, but a band nonetheless.

    (Angst and healing with fluff? Yeah that's this whole series. Enjoy :3)
