Summary
Link finds himself drawn to the quieter corners of this Hyrule, often finding himself in the company of those he trusts, or spending time with certain individuals, with these moments having quite the lasting impact on him. Link has done a lot for Hyrule, maybe it's time he understands that he means a lot to many individuals, and has a lot in common with more people than than he realizes.
This fic is a collection of short stories, with each story focusing on a meaningful interaction between Link and a particular inhabitant of Hyrule, with said interactions having a profound impact on his life, in some way shape or form, either through a hard lesson learned, a reminder that he matters, or he's worth more than just his title.

Summary
~~~~~~
The day was warm, the sun was out, and the birds were singing. It was supposed to be a simple day. Go for a walk, do some chores, fight some monsters; the norm when you're the son of the hero living on a peaceful farm. The day was looking perfect, a perfectly normal day on a normal farm living with normal people.
Yeah…he shouldn’t have said anything. Famous last words and all.

Summary
When half the chain is taken out by a spell, the others have to do their best to protect them (and stop panicking. Maybe that should be their first task-wait. Wild was caught up in the spell? Who's going to cook?!).
Warriors is doing his best as surrogate leader, but wrangling the other Links takes more effort than it should (please return quickly, Time).
Legend just wants this adventure to end already. And for Hylia to stop existing, please and thank you.
Four wants to release his inner demons (literally. Please, let them get somewhere he can split before he goes mad).
Wind is just enjoying the chaos.
Sky is...is he actually sleeping through this?!
Time, Twilight, Hyrule, and Wild are...indisposed. -

Summary
"I would also like to check on the state of the divine beasts," Zelda nodded along, "Maybe see if we can find..."
"Well that's a morbid thought," Link laughed slightly, as he tried to lighten the air again. They all knew what Zelda was trying to say. She wanted to see if she could find any remnants of the Champions. It was a fair thing to ask for. No one had been able to check for those hundred years. If it could give her just the littlest bit of relief it was worth it.

Summary
How didn’t she notice until now?
Zelda sat across from her loyal knight and newfound friend, suddenly taking in his unwell appearance. As usual his expression betrayed nothing, but the running nose, loud sneeze, and still rain-damp hair told her everything she needed to know. Link was sick, and he must've been for a while.
“Oh dear, Link are you quite alright?” She searched his face, taking in his deep eyebags and burning cheeks. He sneezed again before he could plead his case.
---
or
Link is sick, Zelda wants to take care of her newfound friend despite her lack of knowledge of how to deal with sick people, much less the boy she only started seeing as an equal a week ago, and an Inn guard has to show a teenage princess how to make tea while being incredibly chill

/////SPOILERS FOR THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TEARS OF THE KINGDOM/////
"Hey," She says calmly, "Link, what's going on?"
Link doesn't answer at first. He opens and closes his mouth a couple of times as if he's not sure what to say. The children are starting to look worried now, and Zelda realizes this is probably not the best place to unravel whatever new knowledge Link now possesses.
Her confusion skyrockets, however. As Link finally seems to get his mouth right as he stares back at the page,
"Aryll?" He whispers to himself, his frown deepening even more.
Or:
A year after The Upheaval and the defeat of Ganondorf; Zelda and Link now finds themselves living peacefully together once more. But Link is still dealing with a broken brain that can't seem to recall his past before he became a soldier. So what happens when new discoveries of that previous life are revealed? And exactly who is Aryll? -

Summary
When Legend hit the water he knew he had approximately 5 minutes to either get dry, decide to fight it, or take his boots off before they were torn off of him by the curse transformation. Considering he was in the middle of the ocean, he was quick to kick his boots off and shove them in his bag before letting the curse take hold….
Legend wanted to just lie back down and not get back up. Ever. Honestly the only reason he didn’t do just that was because the sand had already started making his skin itch.
Or-
Wind maybe should have mentioned how his entire ocean is toxic
