Retired Assets by Lele5429
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
01 Jun 2025

Summary
When an asset is no longer in use, it must be properly retired.
When a hero is no longer in service, retirement does not come easily.
For magical assets, retirement often involves neutralization, dismantling, and disposal. These steps are crucial to prevent powerful weapons from falling into the wrong hands.
Yet, like items, people are sometimes used until they break.
Retirement is painful; it comes at a cost.
Ravio is determined to save Legend from his own mind, but a new force stirs violently within him since his last adventure.
It threatens to overwrite everything he has ever known about himself.

Summary
After the end of the chain trip together, at the end of every possible quest, Time was supposed to get a happy ending, right? That's how all the stories go, he should have spent the rest of his years growing old with Malon, watching the children run around and get chased by cucoos as the two laugh on the front steps.
But Fate is never kind to any of the heroes, and Time ends up running from monsters, with nothing but armor and a small baby in his hands. All he wants is to just go back to how things once were, to see Malon's smiling face, for his son to be safe.
He never knew just how connected he was to another one of the heroes.Basically, how the Hero's Shade came to be, and just his connection to Twilight.

Summary
The portal closed behind Legend, and he had to sit down for a minute, head in his hands. The cold of night was somehow amplified by his brothers’ absence, and he shivered, rubbing his hands against his arms. What he wouldn’t give to be back in the Chain, sitting around the campfire and sharing stories from their adventures.
Legend has lived through a lot of goodbyes, and he has always known his time with the Chain was limited. That he'd have to go back to his own era one day. That doesn't make it easier to accept.

Summary
"…do you know who you are?" the old hero asked tentatively.
The dragon was unfazed, empty eyes staring right past him. "I am the Light Dragon. I have roamed the skies of this land for centuries."
"Sure, yeah." He gulped uncomfortably. "But do you remember who you were before?" No recognition flashed in the dragon's eyes. The Wolf briefly turned to look at his brother, standing a few feet behind him. He took in a shaky breathe. "Do you remember him?"
For once, there seemed to be the shadow of something, some emotion swimming behind those kaleidoscopic eyes. The dragon turned its stare to Wild who felt uncomfortably transparent and desperately hopeful under its gaze.
"This is the Hero of Hyrule, his spirit the guardian of the land for almost as long as I have roamed its skies. He visits me sometimes. Brushes my mane. Talks to me of things I do not understand and memories I cannot recall. He says that he loves me. He is kind."

Summary
Legend was settling in alright to a more low-key life after his excitement from traveling across various Hyrules in the Chain's different eras. And yet, tending to the ever-expanding orchard behind his and Ravio's place didn't seem to help much and it did nothing to soothe the ache felt in his heart from his brothers' absence.
Ravio notices Legend's worsening mood and decides do something about it. In a stroke of genius, he becomes the renter of a brand-new magic staff shown to him by a mysterious merchant. This new magic artifact is supposedly called the Tri-Rod.
Shenanigans ensue.This story is solely based on the game trailers for Echoes of Wisdom. Enjoy!
