Summary
in a universe where Purah creates a device that helps the champions overcome the calamity, what if it were to malfunction, if it were to accidentally summon the hero from 100 years in the future?
this fic is basically just Purah accidentally time-traveling post-calamity/TOTK link to the pre-calamity champions (including her and Zelda) whilst he's wearing a mask, non of them realize it's him, and they now have beef since Link refuses to take it off and his fight or flight was triggered from being summoned, causing him to attack them. How are they going to realize that the weird Bokoblin acting Hylian(?) is Link, that all of them are dead in the future and that he's now a speaking, chaotic mess of the royal guard he once was???
Also, I only realized this 4 months after posting the first chapter, but updates are really slow, usually monthly. so if the latest chapter is around a month old, I'll probably post a new one that week.
(btw, the revilink isn't in here yet, honestly idk if I'm even gonna include it in the fic in the first place???)

Summary
“Would you have chosen another path?” Zelda asked the knight, over a century ago.
She wasn’t talking about the knight. But if she was…
Link likes to think the knight would have. He knows, though, that the knight’s destiny was immutable—and so was Zelda’s.
It’s a shame Link has to pick up the pieces.
Link struggles with the legacy of the one who came before him.

Summary
In their first pivotal meeting with Ganondorf, Rauru's arm catches Zelda instead of Link. When the depths form and chasms open, Link is thought to be dead. While he ought to be, Hylia and the magic of Hyrule has other plans.
Link wakes up stranded in the central depths with no weapons, no Purah Pad, no battery to power zonai devices, and no clue what's going on. Will he be able to contact the surface and survive the unforgiving lands of the depths? Can Zelda manage to communicate with the past while also keeping present day Hyrule safe?
They'll certainly try, but their road is an unmerciful one.

Summary
The small wood with the shrine rising up in the center could barely be called a wood, more a copse or thicket at best. But the shrine provided a haven for Link. A place to rest, recover, and determine his next steps...
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep. -

Summary
Green wasn't his favourite color but he put it on to make Grandma happy. Aryll is snatched up in the claws of a beast no one has ever seen, and the world laughs at his attempts to save her. The wind dances to his tune, braced at his back as he marched against the current. Ganondorf slumbers at the bottom of the sea, dark power spilling from cracks in the seams. The Red King tells him what it means to be brave.
“The seal’s gonna break. You can't drown him again.” Link stands in a castle frozen in time and bargains with a god. “You need a hero, and I’m here to be one.”
…Child of the sea, Hylia begins, voice ringing with divinity in his head. I name you the Hero of this Era. May your winds be ever swift.
It sounds like a condemnation. Link thinks it’s the closest thing to being blessed he’s ever known.
Link does not have the Hero’s Spirit. He makes it work anyway, in a very Link way.

Summary
Link is three years old when he kills his first monster, he’s fifteen when he becomes Princess Zelda’s knight, he’s seventeen when he dies. This is the tale of the in between times. A story of loneliness, grief, tragedy, and friendship, told through the eyes of a terrified hero.
Or
I thought too much about what might’ve been going on pre calamity and accidentally wrote a short novel instead of a oneshot. Expect angst, sadness, and some cute friendship moments that might end up making the ending we all know even sadder.

Summary
Zelda had changed since she had been freed from the calamity. Mostly in subtle ways, like she was less shy and unsure of herself even in private. Of course, fighting for 100 years probably gave a person more self-confidence and he was glad to see it. She knew what she wanted once she was freed and did everything to make her wishes into reality

Summary
Link would come back. He always did; back to the same cave, the same cold stone beneath his slashed and butchered skin, the same empty plateau and the same unfinished story. Again, and again, and again and again and again. The same details. Endless repetition, fitting perfectly next to his endless hurt.
He stood on the plateau, overlooking the edge of the hill he first walked out onto every loop. The cool air blanketed his body; he felt like it seared his skin. He felt the dirt beneath his feet, and the soft sunlight shining over him. Ha. What a cruel, cruel feeling. It always was, really; the beautiful scene he always stepped into once he exited the shrine. It was a terrible, twisted trick. A torturous tease.
The beauty of the world around him seemed to laugh at his despair.
--
Or: Link has been stuck in a time loop for a very long time. Finally, Hylia sets him free- by sending him to join the chain and breaking the loop.

Summary
“I command you to speak.” She said firmly, but her voice trembled at the end. Link’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he spoke nonetheless.
“It is just the way I am, Your Majesty.”
-
Link doesn't really know why he won't speak, but if he thinks too much about the reason, he'd be distracted from his one duty: protecting Princess Zelda at all costs
Zelda also doesn't know why, and it angers her every time she thinks about it--why the perfect knight with a power he can use never even speaks to her.
OR
They're both stubborn idiots and Link is really really devoted to his duty.Series

I don't really know how to write summaries but I tried-
This is purely self-indulgent, but it's been sitting in my drafts for awhile so I might as well post it.

Summary
Link reaches towards the sword. He knows the way it will feel in his palms before he even touches it, knows its weight with the intimacy of the calluses that kiss his fingers. He knows her.
His hands wrap around the grip, and the sounding chimes begin to morph into words, almost discernible but– not quite. When he pulls, the soul of the sword reaches into him, and he smiles at the rush of familiarity.
Suddenly, the blade stops moving. Only about halfway out of the pedestal, it rattles, clinking against the stone it’s rested in. The spirit searching within him screams.
And Link burns.
