    Summary

    We don’t like to admit it, but waking up like that, on the sky island, alone, had to have been so hard for Link.

    A short ficlet describing how that whole scene felt to me, while I’m restarting the game, again.

    Summary

    Hylia has needed Her Heroes from the very beginning. Pulling them across time, space, and universe, they meet at their weakest to become stronger than ever. They just wish they'd be given a moment to breathe.

    Hurt, grieving, fragile, Courage needs itself to be strong again. To keep going. Too bad the Heroes disagree and would rather be home.

    Summary

    Hyrule closed his eyes and took in a deep breath before shakily answering. “I mean it could be nothing but doesn’t the magic just feel kind of strange. Not as fierce, not as desolate, not as … well wild.” the traveler exasperated.
    ***
    Just as the group is getting used to traveling around with each other, and they've all explored each other's worlds, the Goddesses decide there is one last place for them to visit. But in this world not everything is as it seems or as they expect, And Wild and their companions are going to have to resurface some old scars and work together to figure out what is going on in this strange yet familiar land.
    ***
    (Or the group visits a world where the calamities of yesterday never happened, and where Wild's friends and family were saved by a certain guardian and a little divine intervention.)

    Summary

    Link's life is haunted by shades of blue.

    Specifically, Sheikah blue. The shrines are blue. The towers are blue. The bombs are blue. His old tunic is blue...A Guardian's beam is blue.

    Everything he can't remember is blue, and he hates it. He hates these half remembered fears, these vague spaces left behind by a tragedy he doesn't remember. He doesn't remember any of it, except a sense of something (someone) missing.

    The voices all tell him he'll remember eventually. Eventually couldn't come soon enough.

    (a.k.a., a behemoth fix-it which will eventually work its way through all of canon, with the addition of revalink. because I can)

    Summary

    Link was done. Retired. The Master Sword asleep in the forest and Rauru's arm gone with the ancient king's spirit. But when Gloom reappears on Death Mountain, Link and Zelda go to wake the Sword and find her in the hands of a green-clad child wearing a strange, spiky mask. Suddenly mentor to a feral protégé (and accidental reincarnation?), Link juggles investigating Gloom's resurgence, dealing with time-displaced monsters, finding a dead god, and healing from his past adventures.

    Summary

    In a time of relative peace, Hyrule's world is turned upside down when malice begins to seep from the very core of the kingdom. Cut to a stone, a history...or rather a prophecy? A strange Hylian depicted amongst it all.

    What if Link were the one transported back in time instead of his princess? What if Ganon were far more insidious than the strange murals beneath the castle could have ever portrayed?

    Link meets a familiar face hidden beneath the catacombs of the castle though he does not know it yet, and he must find his way home again. But can he do so when he is not even certain he was ever supposed to be here in the first place?

     

    The voice sends shivers up his spine, raising the hairs at his nape.

    The Demon King growls, "Hello, pet."

    He doesn't know if the goddess means for him to survive this.

    Summary

    Link awakens from his slumber confused, disoriented, and annoyed with the pounding pain in his temples.

    Then he hears a voice. A voice that instantly brings his muscles to relax, his mind to quiet.

    "You are the light, our light, that must shine upon Hyrule once again. Please be careful, Link. Now, go."

    ....go?

    ~0~

    Story starts at the end of botw, rolls through the 5 year gap, and into totk all the way to the end so def spoiler warning if you haven't completed either games and also a huge attempt to make ToTK make SENSE
