    Summary

    Once, Hyrule was the only person he knew named Link. He was the only person who had held the triforce, the only person who had to run from the forces of evil, to defeat an enemy too great when he was too young, too small, too alone. Once, he cast a desperate bit of arcane magic and thrust himself and eight strangers on a quest.

    Now, Legend smiles more, and Twilight's shadows are a little lighter. Now Wind laughs as loud as a storm with Sky's smile as soft as the following calm.

    Someday soon, Wild will stand in a land of darkness, fighting an enemy all too easy to laugh off, though the darkness doesn't laugh. The shadows themselves will plot and scheme. Soon Wars' own darkness with reach out for him. It isn't long until Four is haunted by his own shadow. Maybe, if they had enough warning there would be something that could be done.

    The problem with Time is that he knows the cost of meddling. Then, now, and then again, he was, is, and will be unable to warn them all properly. That's the issue with time travel. For those outside of the stream, the course of it can't be seen, can't be planned for. By the time you realize it's happened, it's already too late.

    Summary

    “It takes great strength,” Warriors says eventually, “to do what you do and receive nothing in return. I’m not sure I could do it.”

    Link shakes his head, feeling an urge to explain away their compliments and their anger.

    “I don’t do what I do for the people. I do it for Hyrule, so that someday the plants might grow again, and the birds will sing like they do in the stories. When that happens, maybe the people who live here won’t have to fight anymore. Maybe then they’ll have time to be kind.”

    “Hyrule,” Time says contemplatively. “After the land and the kingdom you swear to protect. I think that is a suitable nickname for you.”

    Summary

    "Link had always been a stunning example of how an exception to the rule could unravel an entire system. How one instance of impossibility, one unexpected result could undo any logic no matter how world-defining.

    And for as long as Link could remember, his entire world had been governed by one rule: survival of the fittest."

    A look at Hyrule and his home, and what would happen if he was ever truly cornered.

    *MIND THE TAGS*

    Inspired by chapter 4 of Gintrinsic's "Linked Universe Short Stories".
