Summary
Time curses every divine being he knows, as Twilight dashes into battle with the newest Hero, and the Hero reciprocates, nothing but a blue blur as the kid slows time, effortlessly landing hits that no regular hylian could dream of. Hell, this guy is landing hits that no mortal could think of, as the he backflips once more, rushing towards the rancher, but never getting the chance to beat Twilight up. Sky and Warriors drag the new kid away, and Twilight is held in place by Time, as his firm hand clamps down on Twi’s shoulder. Twilight is breathing heavily, a small stream of blood flowing from his nose.

Summary
When Time’s elite pack raids a Yiga hideout, they're ready for combat, magic, even Majora’s twisted mind games—but not for the traumatized omega left behind. Malnourished, defensive, and heartbreakingly unable to offer any name other than his dynamic—"Omega"—he earns the nickname "Wild" for his wary, feral demeanor.
Wild remembers little beyond captivity. His past is fragmented and uncertain, but slowly he's beginning to trust the pack’s steady promises of safety. Just as he starts to accept it might be real, the pack discovers exactly who they've rescued: Link Farren, royal guard presumed dead three years earlier in a devastating terrorist attack.
Now Wild is caught in the crossfire of political tensions, a monarchy teetering on the brink, and an ancient magical threat quietly rising beneath Hyrule. Wild never asked to be anyone’s symbol, weapon, or pawn—but both enemies and allies are determined to use him. Finding safety was difficult enough; believing he deserves it might be even harder.

Summary
“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.”
“A time loop? Like the Hero of Time?” Twilight asks, stunned. It explains Link’s vague words earlier and the aged sense to his mind. It must be far more than just taxing on the mind. No wonder he was so distraught earlier. He’s been -
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.”

Summary
Ganon has had millennia to learn to strike when the hero is weakest. When he is unsure. When he is frightened and alone.
This time, Ganon struck 3 days after Link found the Master Sword—at just 12 years old.
The Guardians were corrupted by Malice, the Divine Beasts and their brave Champions fell. So the Age of Burning Fields began while a dead hero lay entombed in the Shrine of Resurrection for a hundred years. Meanwhile, across time, previous Heroes are gathering. Something or someone had called them out of retirement.no part of this work may be used to train AI. None of these characters belong to me.

Summary
The child was in the hands of a demon, and Link felt a rage he'd rarely felt since he woke in the Shrine of Resurrection... It's a demon he doesn't know, but his brothers -- more than one of his brothers, Warriors and Sky both -- do, and the fear on their faces bleeds into him. When Sky trades himself for the child's safety, Link won't let him be taken alone.
But if he's the only one who can save him, there's only one way to make sure it works and that rests on his mind like a nightmare waiting to return.
(He doesn't have to do it alone.)

Summary
He watched as the beast's arms went slack at its sides, it stumbling towards the cliff before collapsing to the ground in an explosion of purple smoke. He wasn’t able to celebrate in their victory though.
No, he was far too captivated by the way it knocked the Thunder Helm with its bulking body as it fell.
Sending the precious heirloom right over the cliff.
Or-
Wild nearly loses the Thunder Helm and Freaks Out but it’s ok because Sidon is a good friend

Summary
Meeting a guardian for the first time is something nobody wanted. Watching the stuff of Wild's nightmares, stuff that will now haunt his own, is somehow worse. Yet, Wild, when all else fails, won't stand to see them hurt if he can stop it, and when he stops seeing a brother, mind lost to the past, there's nothing he won't do to protect the ones he loves. Problem is, legend's tired of watching those he loves die.

Summary
Wild can’t sleep.
This wasn’t uncommon. In fact he would go as far to say it would be more uncommon if he could sleep…
It’s not like he was the only one who had something like that.
Four can’t handle the portals, Legend hates storms, Sky can’t run, and Wild doesn’t sleep. Just another quirk for their ragtag group. No big deal.
Unfortunately, his brothers seemed to disagree.
Or-
Wild has trauma from realizing he slept 100 years. Who would have guessed?

Summary
Everything-
Zelda looked so small sitting in that cursed ceremonial dress as she looked up at him with tears in her eyes and utter despair in her voice. Hopeless was the only word to describe the overwhelming feeling between them. She looked defeated. A fallen Princess to a Kingdom of nothing.
Everything I’ve done up until now…It was all for nothing.
Or-
The Chain land in the forest beside the bottomless Swamp and Wild has a really bad time

Panic.
That was the first feeling Wild had when he searched through both his bag and his slate and was unable to find his journal…
That book held pieces of his past, pieces of who he used to be.
Or-
Me writing out one of my favorite Wild angst headcannons but I accidentally made it fluffy at the end

Summary
A sharp shock of pain rippled through his body the moment he hit the water even with his slightly slowed descent. He scrambled to try and get back to the surface but the rapids sent him in all directions until he felt something hard and sharp hit his head…
He hadn’t even gotten a chance to properly say goodbye to Zelda before he was dragged along this journey and now he never would. She would never know what happened to him. She’s going to be so mad.
Or-
Wild just being very confused while Legend stresses out

Summary
Twilight officially hated Warriors’ Hyrule.
He understood this was a rather harsh stance to take. He did not care.
No world had a right to have this many monsters in one place....
Twilight moved faster, finishing his fight in a final powerful spin slash.
His opponent fell just in time for him to see a spear go through his protégé.
“Wild!”
Twilight had never run so fast in his life.
or-
Wild should have told them about Mipha's Grace
