Summary
A sharp shock of pain rippled through his body the moment he hit the water even with his slightly slowed descent. He scrambled to try and get back to the surface but the rapids sent him in all directions until he felt something hard and sharp hit his head…
He hadn’t even gotten a chance to properly say goodbye to Zelda before he was dragged along this journey and now he never would. She would never know what happened to him. She’s going to be so mad.
Or-
Wild just being very confused while Legend stresses out

Summary
“Link, you need to wake up.”
“W-What? Marin-” Link stuttered to a stop to stare confused at Marin. It had almost seemed like Marin’s voice was molding with the one he heard before making it come out all echoey and distorted. Something about her words made a tremble rack through him that was completely unrelated to the chill…
He wasn’t sleeping. He wasn’t.
Or-
I’m mean to Legend and Sky just wants to make him feel better

Panic.
That was the first feeling Wild had when he searched through both his bag and his slate and was unable to find his journal…
That book held pieces of his past, pieces of who he used to be.
Or-
Me writing out one of my favorite Wild angst headcannons but I accidentally made it fluffy at the end

Summary
“Legend, are you limping?”
Legend paused from where he was moving a crate from the stack Malon had asked them to clear and sent a silent prayer up to the goddess to give him the strength not to kill Warriors. You just had to say something, didn’t you? Legend thought, as he carefully turned to face his friend, very pointedly not moving his left foot from where it was barely touching the ground.
Or-
Legend attempting to convince others he’s fine and failing horribly

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
Time wished he didn’t know the ramifications time travel could cause on a timeline. If he didn’t know then he would have no trepidation about pulling his ocarina out and going back about 10 minutes ago.
Oh Hylia why couldn’t you have chosen heroes with more self preservation?
Or-
Time is forcibly reminded that even the responsible Link’s of the group, are still a Link

Summary
Everything-
Zelda looked so small sitting in that cursed ceremonial dress as she looked up at him with tears in her eyes and utter despair in her voice. Hopeless was the only word to describe the overwhelming feeling between them. She looked defeated. A fallen Princess to a Kingdom of nothing.
Everything I’ve done up until now…It was all for nothing.

The Chain land in the forest beside the bottomless Swamp and Wild has a really bad time

Summary
Warriors was a liar.
This wasn’t anything new, or even something that was necessarily bad. Just a simple fact. Warriors had known this fact about himself for years now and has become somewhat of an expert at hiding it.
Or-
Warriors has some bad habits from the war that he has trouble letting go of.

Summary
Legend had officially decided to join Wind’s valiant fight against snow. He should have never made fun of him. It really was the source of all things evil...
He hadn’t expected his nerves to be quite so high the second he was separated from the group. It seemed like he had actually gotten used to not being alone which was just not good...
But he had and now he was stuck in the middle of nowhere without a single soul in a hundred miles. For the first time in months, he was completely alone.
Or-
Legend is lost without the others and discovers that evidently all Snowy mountains are the worst

Summary
Twilight was perfectly aware of the irony of his situation…
He had only wolfed around for about half an hour when he found a bokoblin horde a bit too close to their current camp for comfort and had shifted back to run tell the others when he had stumbled on the animal trap.
Or more accurately, into the animal trap.
Or-
Twilight cursing irony for 2000+ words

Summary
Wild can’t sleep.
This wasn’t uncommon. In fact he would go as far to say it would be more uncommon if he could sleep…
It’s not like he was the only one who had something like that.
Four can’t handle the portals, Legend hates storms, Sky can’t run, and Wild doesn’t sleep. Just another quirk for their ragtag group. No big deal.
Unfortunately, his brothers seemed to disagree.
Or-
Wild has trauma from realizing he slept 100 years. Who would have guessed?

Summary
Something was wrong with Wild’s world.
Ok that was a little harsh, after all it wasn’t strictly Wild’s world that was causing the problem. Just something in Wild’s world.
That something being the air.
Hyrule was pretty sure it was actual poison.
Or-
Hyrule experiences seasonal allergies for the first time and makes the logical assumption that it’s terminal

Summary
When Legend hit the water he knew he had approximately 5 minutes to either get dry, decide to fight it, or take his boots off before they were torn off of him by the curse transformation. Considering he was in the middle of the ocean, he was quick to kick his boots off and shove them in his bag before letting the curse take hold….
Legend wanted to just lie back down and not get back up. Ever. Honestly the only reason he didn’t do just that was because the sand had already started making his skin itch.
Or-
Wind maybe should have mentioned how his entire ocean is toxic

Summary
Warriors hadn’t meant for things to go this way.
Really there was no way for him to have known those three bokoblins were infected. And honestly who would have guessed one of them had such good aim?
Or-
Warriors wanders off while sick and gets himself shot. Hyrule is not impressed

Summary
Twilight officially hated Warriors’ Hyrule.
He understood this was a rather harsh stance to take. He did not care.
No world had a right to have this many monsters in one place....
Twilight moved faster, finishing his fight in a final powerful spin slash.
His opponent fell just in time for him to see a spear go through his protégé.
“Wild!”
Twilight had never run so fast in his life.
or-
Wild should have told them about Mipha's Grace

Summary
He ran as fast as he could but the unsteady earth sent him crashing to his knees. He looked back up, desperate for something he could do. He was too far. He wouldn’t make it to Zelda in time. He was-
“The truth of it is you were late. You were late and you failed to protect her.”
He was too late.
Or-
Ghirahim was the absolute worst but luckily for Sky, he has Warriors

Summary
Four really should’ve known better than to agree to be the one to stay behind and watch Legend….
“Four, what’s wrong?” Legend demanded and he sounded distinctly more alarmed. Four should probably answer him.
“I feel…I feel funny…” He spoke slowly, the words being harder to say than he remembered. He had thought he was rather good at talking before.
Or-
Four accompanies Legend to a Royal party and immediately regrets it

He didn’t know which of his brothers was behind the door but he hoped it would be enough to fool them and prayed it wasn’t Time.
