Summary
Someone's messed with some of the shrines, and it's up to Link to find out what the hell is going on. And alright, maybe it's less a man hunt than it is a series of rescue missions, but as the Champion and the only one able to travel across the shrines he's the only chance these mysterious travelers have.
If only the shrines weren't throwing a huge hissy fit, and the monsters weren't acting stronger and smarter and weirder than even before the Fall of Ganon, and the travelers weren't refusing to patiently wait for him in the relative safety of the shrines, and-
And it's just been a long few days, okay?

“I’m in a time loop,” Link calmly and quietly starts. Not calmly Twilight realizes, Link’s mind recoils at the mere mention of it. However, some part of him is so innately exhausted that it’s numb at the concept. “Upon either my own death or Gannon's I return in time. Over time the curse has strengthened, making the time loops more and more unhinged. The circumstances of my awakening are different every time, but are rarely fortunate. No one’s been able to so much as notice the curse, but I think it’s safe to say it’s evolved to carry a very potent curse of misfortune. There’s more to the curse, but it’s powerful and inconsistent enough it’s hard to pin down with a simple name.”

Twilight projects as much serenity and support he can before he asks, “How long have you been in it?”
Link looks to the side, pained but also achingly shamed. “Long time.”
