Summary
Hyrule’s nerves are frayed and shot.
So who can blame him when he finds the best tree and all but collapses to the ground, soaking in what bit of nature he can? It feels different than most forests he’s been in, perhaps because he’s not really connected to the land below? But it’s familiar enough.
What’s also familiar is the deep, soul crushing weight of everything he feels.

Summary
Expressing exasperation, Time reached over to the accusatory offering and leaned back as he appraised it. Taken from an undisclosed restaurant, it was an advertisement, appointing to a house of horror.
“The Temple of Darkness?” Time quirked an eyebrow, dubiously reading the title clad in blinding red ink.
“It’s uhh…” Time watched in fascination as Warriors racked his brain for answers, in desperate search of upholding a decent-enough explanation that Time would even consider offering permission. It was visibly a great struggle, in which both those and words would vice him. “What do you call a-”
OR
In which they go to a horror house, and it appears that not everyone can handle fear so well.

Summary
Said someone else promptly goes sprawling, and Link sees it’s a kid. He peers up at Link with hazel eyes blown wide, seemingly frozen where he fell.
Link’s heart gives a pang when he processes how skinny the kid is. His wrist bones jut out of threadbare sleeves, cheeks thin, and Link can count his ribs from here. He can also see the fear painted on the kid’s features, plain as day.
Link raises his hands on instinct, taking a small step back to reassure the kid. “Ah, ‘m real sorry ‘bout that,” he offers, keeping his voice low. He carefully drops to a knee, making sure he’s just as disadvantaged as the kid is, and reaches out a hand up. “You alri—?”
The kid punches him in the face.

Summary
His heart began to race, his hands clenched at the sides of the bag, and an unsteady smile of self-satisfied mania began to form.
“...Ledge?” Hyrule asked, in an unstable and wavering voice. Hyrule has known Legend for years, yet he’s never witnessed this side of Legend. It was unsettling, yet fascinating alike. “Are you… Doing alright? I-I can talk to Time and we can-”
“No. There’s no need. Everything’s fine- Perfect in fact! Everything’s perfect!!”
OR
Time and the bunch find ways to cope with the heatwave. However, Legend needs to cope with something else.

Summary
"Hey, dumbass," Legend called. Warriors hit him in the back of the head. With a sharp glare, he continued. "Where the hell did you go?"
Rolling off the tree, Hyrule landed on his feet, dusting himself off as his magic took the brunt of the fall. "Just went on a little river ride, got lost…the usual," he explained, looking back up with a sheepish grin.
He wasn't sure why he lied. The ache in his chest told him otherwise.

Summary
“Guys, I’m going to go.” Legend immediately snipped, his voice now light and detached, as he was starting to feel out of breath, even if he hadn’t moved in the slightest. He didn’t wait for a second longer before exiting the room and beginning his search.

Summary
Hyrule cast Fire, grinning as he effortlessly tossed the flame between his hands. “Take this!”
He chucked the fireball at the Lynel, causing it to roar with anger. Hyrule wasn’t concerned, though— he had defeated loads of the beasts back in his own time. Surely the ones from Wild’s era couldn’t be much different, no matter how terrifying they appeared to be.
Hyrule takes on a Lynel alone.

Summary
A gasp, a crack of lightning—Legend flinched despite himself, and he felt Wild groan as though his reflex was an inconvenience to his dreams of cooking monster guts—and Hyrule sat bolt upright and hit his head on a tree root. "Fu—" Hyrule's eyes landed on Legend, and he bit his tongue before laying back down.
"No, I want to hear what you were going to say. I'm curious now," Legend stated, smirking.
Hyrule narrowed his eyes. "Fungus. I was going to say fungus."
Legend snorted. "Coward."
"Not in front of the kid."
"The sailor's asleep. Besides, he says it at least ten times a day. I doubt hearing you say it will make it any worse than it already is."
"It's still not a good habit to get into."
"Fuck, you're right," Legend responded, pretending to seriously consider it. Hyrule rolled his eyes.

Summary
The newest member of the ragtag group of heroes throughout the ages literally falls from the sky in front of them.
It doesn't take long for them to realize that he's not a fighter like the rest of them, at least not anymore. And that's ignoring the fact that he's a shy nervous wreck who clearly isn't used to being around nine other heroes with questionable social skills.
(AU where Wild is the last to join the Chain and he's not a swordsman like everyone else, but is instead a sorcerer because his chronic pain meant he couldn't fight with an actual sword anymore. He's got a lot of healing to go through with that, and the Chain will help him because he's one of them, even if a sorcerer Link wasn't what they were expecting.)

Summary
“He doesn’t want us touching him,” Warriors said, gesturing over at the lump of blankets where the new Link was curled up. “Wouldn’t let me carry him away from the fire even though he was overwhelmed by the people.”
“This is addin’ up in a way I don’t like much,” Twilight said. “I know he’s a Link, but…” This seemed like a lot of trouble for someone so small, someone who hadn’t been on any adventures yet.
Legend stepped forward, looking angry at nothing in particular. “When I carried him to camp, I noticed how light he was. He said he’d gone into our camp because he was looking for food. He might be from around here, but that alone raises some questions. What was a kid his age doing, travelling in the woods, alone, with no food stores and no weapon?”
OR:
Link is lost, confused, and scared. There's no way he's gonna trust these weird warriors, even if they don't seem like they want to hurt him.
The chain wants to help this new little hero. And if they find their missing healer on the way, well... so much the better!

Summary
In a rain-drenched forest, Hyrule sat in shadow, haunted by the faces of those he failed to save. As his friends rallied around him, three Lynels emerged from the gloom, forcing a desperate battle. Amidst the clash of steel and the whispers of lost souls, Hyrule struggled against the shadows of his past, where victory blurred with the haunting cost of heroism.
In the quiet forest, Hyrule sensed something was wrong with Wind—his pale face and shallow breaths whispered of a hidden curse. When Hyrule discovered the dark magic festering within him, he faced a grave choice: to absorb the curse himself. As he chanted the spell, drawing the malevolent energy into his own spirit, Wind's pain faded, leaving Hyrule to bear the weight of a darkness that would forever linger.
What is going to happen now?
