Summary
He was having deja vu. Deja vu that threw him back to mere years ago. Zero idea of where he was, hunting down shrines under the guidance of a cryptic ghost, and getting his ass kicked by foes he normally wouldn’t bat an eye at. Only this time around, he was also lucky enough to be bestowed with a fever that would flush on and off at a whim, and bouts of nausea that made his stomach recoil at the idea of eating anything more extravagant than an apple.
And of course, the memory of how he ended up back in this situation.
Link moves through the events of the Upheaval while remembering the years of peace he and Zelda had between it and the Calamity. TOTK narrative with chapter preludes of post-BOTW moments.

Summary
Link forced his sleep-heavy eyes away from Zelda’s face and down the length of the bed. Further piles met him; a barricade of vellum and paper standing against any possible escape.
He sighed and let his head fall back to the pillow. "Is this really necessary?"
After an injury forces Link to be laid up in bed, Zelda has to take drastic measures to ensure he stays there.

Summary
One look was all it had taken. One look the moment they stepped onto the shore of the latest island their journey had taken them to, and the bird — purple-feathered and excessively sharp-beaked — had decided to tear right into Tetra.
That was just the effect she had.
After an encounter with a decidedly ill-tempered bird, Link helps Tetra with her injuries and talk over their journey to find New Hyrule.

Summary
Now 14 and a half and training for knighthood, Link has grown weary of all the stale, uninspired sparring lessons his instructors mandate from day to day. Despite all his effort, his peers treat him like a child, and even his own father seems to doubt he's ready for a real fight. No matter how hard he tries to win their approval, everyone still thinks he's weak.
But when a terrible upheaval shakes the very foundations of his world, Link is given a clear choice: will he allow such an upheaval to compromise him, or will he find the courage to prove his worth and rise above it? For the sake of all Hyrule, what kind of hero will he become?
True fealty, though... as he'll soon come to realize... always comes at a price.

Summary
Link, having fallen into a rift and then trapped by a crystal, gets the honor of being rescued by none other than the princess herself.
What follows is the journey of a lifetime, one that’s all the better with his new best friend at his side.
The princess screamed something, reaching for him. I’ll save you! he realized she was saying as he read her lips. Had to read lips, because the inside of the crystal was silent. Completely cut off from the world. He pressed his hands to the magical barrier, for one moment despairing as he watched the princess disappear and take the shining light with her.

Summary
Sheik had thought that the doom brought about by his own body had been inescapable. The royal line had required someone to continue it, and he was the last one standing. Now that he was gone, what would remain? Their records burned to ash, no evidence that he’d existed beyond a few belongings. All he’d been – or hadn’t been – would be added to the legends that parents told their children.
Link refused to be sent back to his childhood after Ganondorf’s defeat. Five years later, during one of Link’s rare visits to Hyrule, Sheik realises what the identity he took on during the conflict truly meant to him. Link has an offer: leave Hyrule together.
