    Summary

    Four years have passed since Wild last said good-bye to his brothers. That was supposed to be the end.
    Four days have passed since Wild woke up on the Great Sky Island with only a modified arm and its strange new abilities. No armor. No inventory. And no Zelda.
    Though he's made it back to the surface and quickly finds himself in his home of Hateno, the feelings of loss are still raw and deep. He'd give anything for some help or guidance, but he has nothing.
    Until a portal opens, reuniting him with the heroes of the past that have been summoned by Hylia once more. This time, they're here to help him in this perilous adventure that threatens to shake the foundation of the timeline once more.
    Evil never rests. It only slumbers. But fate dictates that a hero will always rise to the challenge.

    Summary

    The best part about Lon Lon is Malon.

    All of the heroes love Malon. They have differing feelings on most of their brother’s families, but Malon is the singular person whom all adore without question. When they’re graced with a visit to the ranch, she always comes darting along with all the eagerness of a young girl, all but flying to her husband’s side. Time’s always ready for her, catching her with a kiss that half of them look away from and the other half smile after. Once their old man is greeted though, she’ll turn a smile on the rest of them, moving from hero to hero to give them a good looking over, smoothing clothes and ruffing hair, something sweet on her lips for each one of them before she is satisfied and guides them down to the ranch.

    Malon is wonderful, and they love her.

    Which is why, when they arrive on the ranch and she’s not running along towards them, isn’t even in sight, it’s the heroes that take off running, worry stirring inside all of them as they careen down the road, through the gates and thunder up the steps into the ranch house. 

     

    Something's up with Malon and the boys panic.

    Summary

    Hyrule thought it would be fine. The plan was in place and though their information may be a bit faulty, it should be fine. Except everything went completely and horribly wrong.

    As the saying goes, you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Legend would think he was stuck in a dream again. Thankfully, he now had a method for verifying if he was in reality or not. Who cares if this method isn't exactly "healthy"?

    Summary

    The Tri-Force Heroes come together, three successors, three months after their first adventures, three brothers of green, blue, and red. Link had never imagined he would meet his brothers again, not after their parting was made with promises given. Then again, he also hadn't expected to have to fight Ganon more than once.

    Summary

    Legend was not the kindest Link, he was sharp and he was not afraid to snap at anyone for any reason. This causes some problems between him and Twilight.

    Legend honestly is just bad at talking to people, so when his inability to be nice when trying to tell someone to take some personal regard for their safety (at least from his perspective) is called out, he decides to fall back on some old, fairly unhealthy coping mechanisms: specifically, silence.

    Summary

    As promised, Wild drags Legend into a talk about self-care, although to the relief of probably both of them, it's given by a rancher whose handles it far better and a princess with personal experience. And questions, Flora seems to have plenty of questions for the vet, the first and foremost being "how are you still alive?"

    Summary

    In the wake of Twilight accidentally triggering one of Warriors' phobias, Legend sets out on the behalf of the rest of the heroes to keep the rancher distracted and out of their way, using a pretended illness as his excuse. Unfortunately, with a brain so busy trying to remember how to be sick, some of his own paranoia bleeds out and reopens a previously unknown injury on the rancher's heart.

    Summary

    Legend storms away from the group, a growl on his lips.

    He doesn’t remember what he said, only moments ago. Doesn’t need to. Doesn’t need to because he can still see everything crystal fucking clearly: the moment he decided to add more snark than was really necessary to his words, the way the faces of everyone around him flared briefly before falling, falling, as the words kept tumbling out of his mouth.

    What was it that drove him away? He can’t even remember, anymore. Can only feel the anger fueling his stomping even as his brain shouts that he’s stupid, stupid, over and over.

    Summary

    Ever since the battle with the lynel, Wild's been feeling guilty about his behavior towards Legend. He's not entirely sure how to address it until he's got everyone settled in Hateno, but once he does, he goes looking for the vet to make things right.
    He gets sidetracked.
    The blood in the water and a pair of glowing eyes tend to do that.

    Summary

    He feels irregular. Worn, warped, like a bowl not carved by a foot-pedal lathe (because his knee could never take the strain) but rather by hand, by careful chips taken away from the wood until it’s a bit lumpy, a bit wonky, but useful enough.

    Summary

    Every Link in the Chain dons a tunic as part of who they are. But not every tunic is created equal, and some hold significance that can't be so easily discerned at a glance.

    Some heroes take pride in their traditional tunics. But Legend wears his red mail for the properties it grants him, while Wind resents the tradition of old altogether. Some tunics can't be worn because of the weaknesses built into them. And others, still, wear their hero garb for more personal reasons that come to light during an emergency laundry day.

    An exploration of the different tunics across the series.
