Summary
Wild was buzzing with pain, ears ringing, and the worst part was he was all alone. The other members of the Chain were not where he was currently. And Wild needed them. Wild was not going to be able to make it out of this one. For all his recklessness, it seemed this would be what finally finished him off. And he was going to die all alone.

Summary
Logically, Link knew he should go to bed. His eyes were already irritated and he felt the beginnings of a headache. But the last thing he wanted to do was sleep. He knew it wasn’t healthy, but sleeping meant dreams. And dreams often meant visions, or nightmares or whatever they were. He was tired of it. They’d only gotten more frequent as time went by. It was too much.

Summary
There are many disadvantages to being the guardian of the tri-force, or, you know, having blood that can resurrect Ganon. Hyrule, unfortunately, is familiar with that. It doesn't make it any easier to handle though, especially in unfamiliar territory and without his brothers there to help watch his back.

Summary
Legend sighed, waiting for Hyrule to get his milk. He glanced around the bar, gaze settling on one bargoer in particular. He was tall and skinny, back hunched slightly from years of bad posture. He was nursing a beer, clearly not his first of the night. Legend narrowed his eyes at the man, quickly noticing that his beady eyes were focused on Hyrule.
Legend glanced between his companions, humming uncertainly. “Let’s grab a table,” he decided, grabbing Hyrule by the sleeve to lead him away. Four passed some rupees across the counter and Legend quickly snatched the forgotten gin and tonic for himself as the three of them left the bar to sit somewhere else.
Hyrule, Legend, Four, Twilight, and Warriors explore a Castle Town bar. Things don't go as smoothly as expected, and Hyrule disappears while unable to defend himself.

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)

Summary
Hyrule flexed his arm with a small wince. He hadn’t been paying enough attention, and one of the Bokoblins had jumped out at him, getting a clean slice through his arm before Twilight had killed it. The injury had gone unnoticed in the commotion, and Hyrule wouldn’t bring attention to it. It was minor, after all, and he would be fine without any healing supplies.
A small injury leads Hyrule to spiral out of control. Mind the tags/TWs.

Summary
As the flames in his palm began to flicker, panic struck Hyrule. His magic was nearly gone– he could feel the drain already. He quickly put out the fire, squeezing his hands into fists as he brought them to his temples. Hyrule shook his head frantically, sliding down against one of the cave walls until he was sitting on the cold, unforgiving ground.
He would have a word with Wild when he got out of here.
If he got out.
—
“Has anyone seen Hyrule lately?”

Summary
Every single muscle in Link’s body screamed with effort, weeks of starvation leaving him weaker than he’d like to admit. Still, he didn’t have a choice– so he kept running.

Time, Twilight, Sky, and Legend travel through a portal only to find themselves in a cave tasting of magic. With their slowly growing group, this can only mean one thing– a new Link.
