Burnt Offerings by soyest_boy

Summary
"As Link gazes at the wisps of smoke curling up from the incense, he envisions the smoke winding its way skyward, bringing his darkest fears and greatest hopes up to Hylia."
set during the events of breath of the wild, Link struggles to find a place and a purpose in this world beyond that of the "Hero."
i have a head-canon of link being pretty heavily scarred from the guardians, and this story is sort of an extension of that head-canon. he wakes up burned and alone and without any memories. that's gotta fuck you up a bit, right?
okay! this one is done. i had originally planned for four chapters, but im not going to force it if it wont come. better to end early than write something half-assed. i hope it's enjoyable regardless! i am still fairly new to writing fanfiction, so constructive criticism is always welcome, provided that it's actually constructive and not just rude

Summary
“How do you feel?” the Zora pressed after a very long moment, rocking forward just a little, eyes wide with worry. Her hands and arms were painted in soul paint of varying shades and colors, all plainly visible in her loose outfit. There was one particular streak of grass green on one of her palms, one that felt somehow intimately familiar.
Link blinked at her, and discovered that his mouth didn’t want to speak the way hers did. His hands moved to do it instead, as if on instinct. I feel tired. What happened? Where are we?
“We’re in the Shrine of Resurrection,” the Gerudo interrupted, sweeping in beside the Zora and setting a firm hand on her arm. Her eyes were narrow and uncompromising, though still, Link thought, warm. There was a child-sized smear of bright sunshine yellow soul paint on her cheek, and just a few scattered over her hands. “It’s no wonder you feel tired, you’ve been through quite an ordeal. But it’s time to get back to work.”
Link blinked at her, blankly bemused.
Who are you? he asked, in signs he seemed to recall only as he used them.

Summary
It turns out that the death of the Calamity doesn't prevent more things from falling apart.
A year after the fall of Calamity Ganon, eighteen year old Link goes back in time to before the end of the world, before the fall of Hyrule, before he ever even drew his sword, and starts to fix things before they can go wrong. It takes a while before he realizes he might be able to regain pieces of himself, too.

Summary
Link doesn't know what to make of Wild. None of the Champions do, but Link is confident that he's struggling the most.
Because as odd as it is to see little Sidon now tower over Urbosa, nothing can compare to the weirdness Link feels when he looks at Wild; the stranger who looks like him but wrong.
A.K.A. Mid-quest, Wild ends up in Age of Calamity. No one is happy about this.
