Summary
When the Calamity struck, the world seemed to have ended. 100 years later… well, the world still looks like shit, but it’s getting somewhat better.
Aryll has managed to bargain with the Deku Tree to remain a protector of the Hero, binding her body and soul to remain tethered and ageless until the Calamity is vanquished. If she knew he’d take his sweet time waking from his power nap, she would have thought about this a few seconds longer. Suffice it to say that when he eventually did wake up, she was relieved, shocked, and had a hundred year old bone to pick.
AKA: What if Aryll survived the Calamity, struck a deal with the Deku Tree, and lived to help Wild/botw Link with his journey? Also, a crazy looking wolf wants to be friends with them.

Summary
"This is hell, we've landed in hell," Legend deadpanned.
Or: Twilight recognizes this Hyrule as soon as they land in the Depths. And... they really can't afford to wait until they stumble across his pup before they figure out what's what, actually.
Still, he was really hoping Hylia had the good grace to leave Wild out of this. Apparently not.

Summary
“I’m in a time loop,” Link calmly and quietly starts. Not calmly Twilight realizes, Link’s mind recoils at the mere mention of it. However, some part of him is so innately exhausted that it’s numb at the concept. “Upon either my own death or Gannon's I return in time. Over time the curse has strengthened, making the time loops more and more unhinged. The circumstances of my awakening are different every time, but are rarely fortunate. No one’s been able to so much as notice the curse, but I think it’s safe to say it’s evolved to carry a very potent curse of misfortune. There’s more to the curse, but it’s powerful and inconsistent enough it’s hard to pin down with a simple name.”
“A time loop? Like the Hero of Time?” Twilight asks, stunned. It explains Link’s vague words earlier and the aged sense to his mind. It must be far more than just taxing on the mind. No wonder he was so distraught earlier. He’s been -
Twilight projects as much serenity and support he can before he asks, “How long have you been in it?”
Link looks to the side, pained but also achingly shamed. “Long time.”

Or Wild's been stuck in a death loop. Then Twilight appears and so much more.-

In which Wild was actually just a kid when he woke up from the Shrine of Resurrection and finds a funky stone called a Sheikah Slate with some magical properties. If Purah can use technology to de-age, why can’t Wild gain a few years when he needs to?

Time isn’t happy.OR
The Kid Wild fic where Wild has to completely rely on people he thinks might have a few screws loose.Series

Summary
Someone's messed with some of the shrines, and it's up to Link to find out what the hell is going on. And alright, maybe it's less a man hunt than it is a series of rescue missions, but as the Champion and the only one able to travel across the shrines he's the only chance these mysterious travelers have.
If only the shrines weren't throwing a huge hissy fit, and the monsters weren't acting stronger and smarter and weirder than even before the Fall of Ganon, and the travelers weren't refusing to patiently wait for him in the relative safety of the shrines, and-
And it's just been a long few days, okay?

Summary
Ganon has had millennia to learn to strike when the hero is weakest. When he is unsure. When he is frightened and alone.
This time, Ganon struck 3 days after Link found the Master Sword—at just 12 years old.
The Guardians were corrupted by Malice, the Divine Beasts and their brave Champions fell. So the Age of Burning Fields began while a dead hero lay entombed in the Shrine of Resurrection for a hundred years. Meanwhile, across time, previous Heroes are gathering. Something or someone had called them out of retirement.no part of this work may be used to train AI. None of these characters belong to me.

Bookmark Notes:
Legend gets one step outside of the door before Twilight grabs him by the collar and hauls him back against him. There’s a brief fracturing outline of black and orange magic and Twilight turns back around to face the group, a pink rabbit in a little red waistcoat clutched to his chest. A beat of stunned silence before,
“LEGEND TURNED INTO A RABBIT!” wails Wind.
Legend looks at himself, looks at them, runs some calculation in his head, then joins in the wailing, “TWILIGHT CAN TURN PEOPLE INTO RABBITS!”
Wind and Wild scream in horror, Hyrule screams in delight. Wars stabs himself with his sewing needle then curls over his mending wheezing. Four stares dumfounded for a moment, then joins in the growing laughter.

The feeling doesn't abate. If anything, it only gets worse.

Summary
Everything-
Zelda looked so small sitting in that cursed ceremonial dress as she looked up at him with tears in her eyes and utter despair in her voice. Hopeless was the only word to describe the overwhelming feeling between them. She looked defeated. A fallen Princess to a Kingdom of nothing.
Everything I’ve done up until now…It was all for nothing.
Or-
The Chain land in the forest beside the bottomless Swamp and Wild has a really bad time

“That kid is going to have us all wrapped around his finger, isn’t he?” Twilight asked, a somewhat exasperated expression on his face despite the warmth in his gaze.
Time smiled softly, glancing over to the newcomer and the traveler, who were still excitedly chirping to each other over the flowers. “Yes, I believe you’re right.”

ネタはいいねぇ。
でもなんか、途中から飽きてイライラする。プロットがないというか、目立たないのがイライラさせるよね。絶対。毎回ブレが逃げる／病んで、バレてみんな悪い反応出て、色々トリガーみたいな。なんか、自己満足系なのかも知らない。あんまりプロットとか気にして書いてなさそう。でもネタがいいから気になって読んじゃうっていう。

Summary
A direct continuation of 'Recovering'
Twilight groggily opened his eyes the next morning. He definitely did not get enough sleep last night to be doing this. With him dozing off at the Hero Shade’s grave and getting caught by Time. Not to mention the struggle of even going to sleep once he got back into the room.
Twilight grimaced, he could barely see light coming in from the windows, of course he woke up during the twilight hour. He couldn’t go back to sleep either. If he did he definitely wouldn’t be able to wake up in time to leave.
