Linked Chaos, Royal Trouble by A_Magical_Jester
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
20 Apr 2025

Summary
Time-traveling shenanigans are the worst in Link's opinion, in ALL Link's opinion. But hey, at least they have their friends to keep them company in these trying times. The problem is, the princesses and extra friends make for a much larger group that the Links cannot take care of properly. And all of that chaos while trying to find a way home, oh joy.
Not Linked Universe, it simply helped me develop and differentiate mine from jojo's. All Links are my own interpretations of the 12 canon Links to date.
The Zeldas are here too as well as a close companion/LI for each Link, making a group of 36. Idk why I did this, multiple POVs, groups and settings. First chapter is a list of characters, not plot relevant.Updates whenever possible, most likely on Fridays.

Summary
Wasn’t saving two different worlds enough? That’s what the young hero of time thought, but it seemed that the multitude of deities who controlled his fate seemed to think otherwise. Now trust in an unfamiliar world... again, Link has to navigate a word that rightfully has a lot less trust of child heroes than Hyrule.

A New Companion by RaeNell for OSierraSoulO

Summary
He felt wildly out of practice being around this many people in a casual setting. He was used to meetings, galas, ceremonies – all places where he was paraded around like a prized doll or the kings show-pony, to be used to boast about the defeat of the Calamity. To be seen and not heard; visual proof that the King had brought peace to the kingdom.
Cal was…out of his depth, here.
***
Or, the Hero of the Calamity meets the Chain.

Summary
Twilight growled and bared his teeth. These idiots had no clue about his secret, and all he needed – all he needed – was for his hands to be free for ten seconds, and they’d find out the hard way.

Or, Time and Twilight find themselves in a situation. Time takes the brunt of it.

Summary
It had been four weeks of non-stop travel now since their last stay in a town. That meant four weeks of camping in small clusters in the woods or sleeping on top of each other in small caves. Four weeks of no privacy, of constant unavoidable involvement in each other’s business.
Legend didn’t hate people. He knew this for a fact. He just didn’t appreciate undiluted, 24/7 exposure.
***
Or, Legend struggles with the constant togetherness of the Chain.

Summary
What could he actually do to help his situation?
He was trapped.
A couple of tears dripped down his face at the thought, trailing into his hair and leaving an icy path in their wake.
He was trapped here. He couldn’t do anything to help himself, couldn’t even send up some kind of signal to let the others know where he was.
Not for the first time in his life, Four cursed his small stature. Sometimes it was a blessing when he needed to be stealthy, or fast, or fit through a small gap that other people would be too big for. Oftentimes, however, it disadvantaged him massively in fights - or in situations like this, where he would be fine if he was Twilight’s size.
***
Or, Four doesn't do well in the snow.

It begins with an F and ends with You by RaeNell

Summary
Legend had an item for everything. Everything. And this served him well 99% of the time.
The other 1% was right fucking now - in a situation where his hands were tied, he couldn’t move, and some assholes were rifling through his bag and pulling items out at random like toys from a toybox.
Legend protested loudly, and the effect was absolutely ruined by the gag in his mouth.
***
Or, Legend's precious items are used against him.

Summary
It had only been a few months. He was slow to trust, and his companions had probably picked up on that. He’d kept himself deliberately distanced. No one really knew him.
Maybe they weren’t coming.
The light began playing tricks on him, shadows bent and stretched across the cell, making shapes in his peripheries. Sweat from a fever rolled down Warriors’ temples, down his neck. He shivered as the cool air dimpled his skin.
Eventually the pain began to dull, and Warriors drifted.
The Yiga stopped coming.
***
Or, Warriors finds himself in a predicament and isn't sure that the others will come for him.

Four Chores Adventures (LU oneshots) by Mage_in_a_Barrel
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
14 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
...this is a silly thought, but do you think that maybe Four splits for practical but mundain reasons? For example, when clothes shopping to make trying on outfits quicker- and they’d just talk to each other in their fitting rooms about whether or not to buy something. Or for large solo shopping trips- where the colours will go to different shops for food and weapon supplies. Or even back in his own era, for normal housework.

Recovered Regrets (Linked Universe oneshot) by Mage_in_a_Barrel

Summary
At some point in the adventure the chain are compelled to find out more about their purpose, why they were all brought together and the cyclical nature of their existence. Four suggests that they go back to the beginning, find out how it all started and maybe that will lead them to answers. It is assumed that Sky was the first, so they ask him about who he fought and what happened.
However, Sky’s memory of the fight is “hazy”. The only thing the chain are able to get out of him is an oddly detailed description of how it felt to channel lightning, showing his scars as a graphic visual. Two things that are very out of character for him. As it so happens they’re in Warriors’ era and the Captain reluctantly takes the chain to see Lana and Cia at the Valley of Seers. After explaining their situation the all-seeing sorceresses give them a crystal where if Sky asks sincerely enough it will show him what happened that day.
They try activating the crystal there and then but it doesn’t work. They wait until they leave the Valley of Seers and try again...but nothing happens. It’s not until a week later when they’re camping in a completely different era does the crystal finally awaken and let them witness Sky’s battle.
