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, Twilight's childhood friend who he hasn't been able to find for nearly ten years.
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.

The Pain of Corruption by Forest_x_Fox

Summary
It yanked Link’s head up by his hair and pried open his mouth. Link fought, but nothing he could do would let him escape the Lynel's firm grasp. It forced the thick contents of the bottle down Link’s throat.
Link choked, instinctively gagging on the searing liquid. Pain shot through his body as he spasmed, his limbs shaking. He wanted to scream, or throw up, or do anything to get the substance out of his body. He could feel it sitting in his stomach and stewing there, sending out jabs of pain that overcame his body as he started to hyperventilate in the Lynel's grasp.
It tossed him to the floor and he landed face first into the grass.

Summary
Prologue:
Autophobia: a morbid fear of solitude
Courage: Mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.To obtain pure courage is regarded as one of the greatest achievements. It may not be a widely celebrated trait, but it stands headstrong through every obstacle. Though morally, how much courage can one withhold before they burn out?
Will they turn?
Will they cower?
Will they love?
Will they detest?
Courage is the very thing that drives mankind forward. It guides wisdom, and inspires power. However, courage resonates within every individual. But only those who harness it keep the flame burning. These are the ones that change the world. True courage, though rare, can never be silenced. Courage guides all those who bear it, but no one asks what happens when courage is all you have left; when every friend leaves, every door closes, and only the title ‘hero’ remains.

Summary
Mirrors of the heroes, created by all that the heroes refuse to acknowledge about themselves. Their darkest, most un-heroic qualities formed together to create an individual born to hate and slay their counterpart as a twisted test of competency.
They were shadows or dark copies of their heroes, and Ravio is fairly certain he's not supposed to be right now.

Summary
(New/Updated!)
It’s been a year since they left Wild.
It’s been six years and four months since Wild had last seen his brothers. Wild had counted the days, tallying them on the tree next to his house, until his life is flipped upside down when his adventure started. Time seemed to slow down and speed up, days turning into nights as he worked to find Flora, but never did the back of his mind leave the topic of his brothers… and now that he has them back, he makes no means to ever let them get hurt again.
(Or: Wild gets double cursed and doesn’t tell anyone. Nobody is happy about this)

Summary
Attention! This story is heavily and I mean HEAVILY inspired by SCE_Jadeite's story Linked Love. I was heartbroken when the story stopped being updated so here we are now.
As if modern life on earth wasn’t hard enough, MC gets kidnapped by a mysterious dark being and is transported to another universe, none other than the great land of Hyrule. Luckily for her, she wasn't the only one who had been tormented by that wicked monster. Stuck in her favorite childhood game with her favorite heroes, MC is forced to travel throughout the dangerous and magical land to uncover the secret to going home. Traversing trials and tribulations, such as becoming friends and maintaining stable relationships with the heroes, struggling with her identity and of course trying to stay alive, gave her everything necessary, albeit crazy, to grow up.

Summary
Light casts a shadow in the dark. Secrets whisper in the back of minds. Worries of judgment and hatred bubble, fueling the flames.
Some of the Chain are less secretive, showing off their tales with scars or stories. Others are bad at keeping the secrets they want buried deep. While trust is plentiful among the group, it may not be long until the Chain reforges or breaks entirely.

Summary
“So,” Malon states levelly, “for some reason, the guy you attacked, chained up, and imprisoned in our pantry, isn’t being cooperative.”
The pantry door rattles, angry hissing coming from within.
The collection of Links in her kitchen appear rather sheepish. Her own Link blinks back at her, “…Well, when you word it like that…”
-Or-
Heroes have been pulled together from across time to face a mysterious threat, but accidentally find a Link with a darker tale to tell.
