    Summary

    Link shivered beneath a blanket, arms huddled in close to this chest. He was half sure he was dreaming. His head ached, heavy like an overstuffed turkey. The green glow did not help. Hylian faces looked alien in this light, escaping the grasp of familiarity. He watched them for a moment longer, hoping the old man would be there among them. Then, self-pitying in his failure to find him, he let his head loll back against the pillow with a groan.

    The pillow that shifted beneath him, to his mild alarm. A rumble of laughter met his ears, vibrating against his skin.

    “Had a good nap?” came the old man’s voice, soft and amused.

    Oh. There he was.

    -

    Or, a storm rages outside a cave where nine brothers huddle for shelter.

    Summary

    The last thing Link remembered: he went to bed an ordinary 6-year-old in his family home in Castle Town.

    He woke up a 6-year-old in a world 112 years older than him, where the Calamity had already hit and then recently been defeated... by himself? He didn't know what happened, or how, or why. Luckily, he had eight heroes with weird nicknames on his side, there to help him figure out and fix whatever was going on, one age at a time—and gradually heal his childhood wounds in the process.

     

    Or: my take on the kid!Wild and Wild-meets-the-Chain tropes, with a bit of a twist in that he is mentally a child as well—memories included.

    Summary

    Legend sucks in a breath. “So let me get this straight. You can erase monsters from existence with an arrow, dodge at inhuman speeds, and slow down time by flying from a fire’s ‘air current’? And you call that science?!”

    "Yup.”

    ___

    Wild considers all of his abilities to be science, not magic. The rest of the chain vehemently disagrees.

    Summary

    It has been three months since Wild left the heroes for his second adventure. Three months they spent in fear and anticipation for their brother's return. Now, they are back in the Champion's era, and many things have changed. From floating islands to an older Wild now crowned king, the heroes have much to catch up on...

    ...Including why their archnemesis is alive and acting so relaxed as if he is not being threatened by eight heroes on swordpoint.
