Not Quite a Hero of Light by Shylighthi

Summary
Shadow found these people odd. Admittedly, if they all didn't have swords and magic items that were making Shadow's head sore, then he would truthfully think they were harmless, but it seemed pretty obvious that they weren't. Light magic drummed off these people like the sun itself. It reminded him of Link..
LINK! Shadow needs the Four Sword! He darted away from the group again. He needed to learn how to ignore such simple distractions, Zelda was going to wring his neck out when he gets home… but she also wouldn’t appreciate him letting strangers walk to their deaths.
Zelda was NOT going to believe him when he tries to explain that Zelda's Goddess stole him away for a quest instead of Link.
Aka.
Shadow takes Four's place in the chain by complete accident. -

Summary
Hyrule and Legend meet under odd circumstances and both have little trust for new people, so they elect to play an elaborate prank on a group of “heroes” while pretending to be twin.

Will they decide to end their ruse for the sake of their companions, or will they be found out before they can tell the truth?

Summary
"What..?" Shadow breathed. "What the fuck are you talking about?!" Shadow screeched, stomping his foot on the ground. His hands were curled in balls so tightly that red crescents formed from the pressure of his unkept nails.
"I'm alive, aren't I?" Four laughed, manic. "I-I'm not laying dead in a ditch somewhere, I must thank you for your time!"
"What? I-"
"No, no- Really, I mean it!" Four grinned like the Cheshire himself. "I don't need you anymore."
Shadow felt as though icicles pierced through his always-cold skin. His blood ran even colder than it already was.
"Its over!" Four announced, clearly blinded by some sort of false reverie and disbelief.
"You're damn right it is." Shadow spat.
OR
Four can't get over the past. Loss always follows.

Summary
The chain agree to crawl through a mega dungeon for some unknown artifact. They are still unsure of whom they can trust but can't deny that the challenges ahead sound fun! More importantly the chain will have to share their struggles and trauma and learn more about each other if they wish to go home. Deals were made along the way and how will those effect the future? And why had Hylia given Wild the Ancient hero's aspect in the first place? Who was this ancient hero? Hopefully they all survive long enough to find out.
This is an AU for 'Aspects of a Hero' by Tashacee because I can't get these scenes out of my head and now it's become much bigger then I ever imagined. I have changed the name of this work as I think it is big enough to deserve its own. This work was once called 'Au Aspects of a hero'.Series

Legend is a guide without a bonded Sentinel, and he's quite happy that way, thank you very much. He's a nomad, a stopgap, filling in for injured guides until they're healed or replaced and having adventures of his own when the military doesn't need him.
And then he goes and gets assigned to the Chain. -

Summary
Dark Link reasons, "Even if they did know where you were, they'd never find you down here."
The Hero's laugh seems to echo in time with the spell. "Maybe not."
"You'll die down here," Dark Link says as flatly as he can manage, "Your flesh will rot from your bones and you'll be nothing more than a smear along the wall."
"Like you?" the Hero asks, just as careful and meticulously cruel as the failure of a spell Dark Link cannot wield.
[or: Dark Link fucked up by attempting a spell way out of his paygrade. Four fucked up by getting captured by Hylia's most emo Hero. Ganon fucked up by leaving the three of them alone together. ...wait, three?]
[Or: or: in typical four fashion, "what do you MEAN i can't bring the stray creature of darkness home with me???"]

Summary
Warriors's face is deliberately calm. "They're both very high in Iron, is all."
"Iron," Four repeats uncomprehendingly.
Warriors asks, "How quickly can we make it to Hateno, Wild?"
"Uh--" Wild pokes at his slate. "Two days? One, if we hurry."
"I do not want to hurry," Wind voices.
Warriors thins his lips. "We might not have a choice."
[or: days after his first blood moon, four goes into heat. these two points are not unrelated.]
[Or: or: your typical "blood moon revives shadow" except it's whumptober, my a/b/o series needs updating, and i am feeling particularly cruel. enjoy!]
