Faerule and the No Good Very Bad Road Trip by ImperialKatwala, PolynomialPandemic

Summary
“Why are we still here?” one of the travelers complained later that day. “It’s been almost two weeks. Usually we’d be gone by now.”
“We haven’t accomplished our goal here,” the one with the scarf - Warriors - said with a shrug.
Wind sighed, leaning back against a tree. “What is our goal?”
Legend snorted at the question. “It’s obvious, isn’t it? We’re here to find Link.”
The others all paused, processing that, and Link froze from where he was peeking out of the scarf.
“... That… makes sense,” Four said after a moment.
“I suppose that is fairly obvious,” Sky sighed. “But surely we’d have run into him by now?”
Pressing his back against a higher fold of scarf so he wasn’t visible anymore, Link took quick, panicked breaths, keeping as quiet as possible. They were looking for him.
Or: What if Hyrule was the last one to join the Chain, and what if he wasn't in the shape of a Hylian when he did it? And what if there were a lot of tears and some hugs at the very end?

Summary
An AU where Twilight loses his Twilight Shard and meets the Chain stuck as Wolfie with no way to transform back.
It will consist of a lot of oneshots/multichap fics of the Chain traveling around with Wolfie, having no clue that he’s really just a guy who’s stuck as a wolf. Will include an unhealthy amount of found family bonding and Time being the Chain’s collective dad (or dog dad, in Twilight’s unfortunate case).

The Wondrous Sword of Legend by ImperialKatwala, PolynomialPandemic
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
04 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
“Well,” the boy said to it as the sun dipped closer to the trees, “your hero didn't show up yet, but I bet they're coming! I bet they're real nice, too. You’re probably going to save the world together.”
He was borrowing it. He was borrowing the Sword of Legend, and… what, checking in to see if it was needed? Waiting for a hero to come for it?
It wasn’t sure what to think. It wasn’t supposed to think about its wielders. But it found itself looking forward to the stories, keeping an eye out while the boy slept, memorizing as much of the information he gave it as it could.
Its job was to protect the innocent, after all.
Or: Hyrule finds a sword. The sword has opinions about this.

Summary
Father's Day in the LU fandom was bound to be filled with lot's of Time fluff, and you know, maybe some FD and Warriors, so I, Ketto, decided to ruin it
Allow me to rip Time apart little by little as a scouting venture gone wrong leaves him holding his dying son and unable to do anything. Oh, and it's not Twilight, it's the other one, the son he didn't know was his >:)Series

Hiding Behind Plaster and Ceramics by moonphoenix23
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms

Summary
Legend had one job the second time he was dragged on a quest that involved time travel and ancestors, and the second time a quest involved meeting other heroes: Don't get attached.
Thankfully, the other heroes seemed to believe the mask he wore, and most of them didn't bother with him as a result except to argue, especially Twilight and Warriors. Now, if only someone could tell the kid behind the mask to stop reaching out to the brothers he lost after Hytopia, that would be great.
And if they could stop the pouring, frigid rain so Legend wouldn't get even sicker, that would also be great.

Summary
Legend loved music, goddesses, half his adventures revolved around music and he loved it. Was he surprised that Time turned to him, the veteran who also knew music, and confided in him his musical back-up plan? A little, but he understood taking precautions.
He was more surprised when that precaution paid off, but its a good thing Nayru owed him one.

The Fluffy Adventures of a Bunny Merchant and His Heroes by FlamingIdiot

03 Apr 2024
Summary
Legend and Ravio shared a great adventure together, but their favorite moments are the quiet ones when things are finally at peace and they are together and safe.
There are a lot of things that make a home, but having each other is the most important.
Sometimes though, the things that are dear to home are shared, be it in army camps or with traveling heroes, but regardless, Ravio now had many heroes to adore (but Mister Hero will always be his favorite)- Words:

Summary
Wind is no stranger to monsters.
Two adventures taught him more than any boy ought to know about them. About the way they fight, the way they think. About what it takes to make a monster.
This third adventure wants to test that. All across time there are monsters that are worse than they ought to be. Stronger. Smarter. Faster. Harder and harder to kill.
Still, Wind is no stranger to monsters. Which is why when a ninth Link joins the Chain, he knows that there is something… wrong.
Something very, very wrong.

The Mysterious Curse of the Worst Wizzrobe to Ever Exist by conduitpowrr

Summary
Legend wasn’t an idiot.
He was many things: their veteran, a hoarder, a snark and a powerful magic user—but an idiot was not on his list. A variety of other labels could be attached to him—much to his dismay—such as secret softie and bunny , but he still wasn’t an idiot.

Alternatively; Legend is hit with a spell from some weird looking Wizzrobe while protecting Four and Wind and everything, typically, goes to shit.

The Absent Blue of Your Gaze by amayis_bigtower
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
11 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
In search of a new danger that threatened to assault Time’s Hyrule, the chain walked into the deep Lost Woods, guided by their leader who opened the path through the darkness. What they didn’t expect, though, is that the danger might sometimes be closer than they think. It might be in the nearest tree, in the flower that stands alone at their feet, in the blade of grass that looks slightly suspicious.
Who knows, it could even maybe —just maybe— be in the shape of their own footsteps. In the wind that lightly hits their faces. In the darkness of their own shadows.
They don’t know if it's standing right next to them. Or watching them in their sleep. Or talking to them using words that feel somehow in the wrong voice.
It’s hard to believe that it could even be staring directly at their eyes with the gaze that used to be blue.

The Hero of the Wild and the Ghost of Legend by Chaoticchaotic213
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
25 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
After the hero of the Wild was defeated and put in the Resurrection Shrine. Hylia took mercy on the injuried hero, and sent the spirit of her best to guide him.
Alternatively, Legend is a ghost like the Champions and Wild is the only one who can hear/see him. It goes about as well as you think. -
Tags
Summary
Legend did not know much about the entity that resided within the mask.
But he knew the tides, he knew the storm, he knew the dreams of a god and losing himself, almost, to every single one; he knew how to utterly be at their mercy, to have his screams swept away along the deafening roars, to still hold onto a piece of himself despite everything when he inevitably got tossed out the other side.
The battle raged on. He reached forward.
What’s another shipwreck?

Summary
Hyrule and Legend meet under odd circumstances and both have little trust for new people, so they elect to play an elaborate prank on a group of “heroes” while pretending to be twin. Over time, the twins learn more about each other and their travel companions, as well as the lands they come from. Will they decide to end their ruse for the sake of their companions, or will they be found out before they can tell the truth?

Summary
Legend isn't familiar with this feeling that has taken over; this weird tug he felt in his heart. It had started quickly after their journey. He felt almost lost, adrift in a feeling he didn’t have a word for. Bereft of his home and unsure of his own wants. It was a feeling that lingered and pulled on him. He tried his best to ignore it. When was the last time he'd even been home? Was he even sure what he would do if he went back home? Who was he really?
8+1
8 times the Chain helps Legend figure his stuff out.
1 time he gets to rest and hope for a brighter future.-
