    Summary

    They had done it: Ganon had been sealed at long last.

    Link finally gets to see Zelda with his own eyes and not through the haze of long-forgotten memories.

    He knows they have a lot to work through, knows their friendship had never been good, but Link hopes that it might change for the better now they no longer have this burden on their shoulders.

    He hopes she likes the home waiting for them in Hateno.

    Maybe they could finally start afresh.

    Summary

    He thinks it ironic, really. Once he had a prison made of wood. Now, at a moment of distraction, he found himself in a position strikingly alike to his previous imprisonment.

    Now, he was just a prisoner to just another jailor.

    For each day that passes, Madius longs more for his wife, who he knows deep down is no longer there, and longs for his child, who he knows slumbers, peacefully waiting for the moment of their awakening.

    Summary

    Curling his fingers tight around the hilt, he closes his eyes and returns the Master Sword to the pedestal. It feels deceptively easy, sliding into the stone with no argument, like it’s done it a hundred times before. It probably has.

    Is it selfish, he wonders, to hope that no one else will pick it up again?

    Is it selfish, he wonders, to hope that someone else will pick it up again, if only to fix what Link couldn’t?

    “I’m sorry I’m not who you wanted me to be.” Link whispers.

    There’s a small, weak hum against his palms. A quiet chime in his head. Like a goodbye.
    - - -

    or: when returning the Master Sword to its pedestal after the Calamity, Link struggles with his worth. Fi has some things to say about that.

    Summary

    Nearly 200 years ago, the Great Deku Tree had told Link that his duty was to guard the Master Sword and aid the heroes that will follow him. Today, Link finally meets the first hero to do so.

    Although it seems like that hero has found himself in a very similar predicament that he once was in many, many years ago. While he knows just the fix for it, a little game to test him won't hurt to play before he hands it over. After all, the Guardian of the Master Sword can't hand over the sword to just anybody—hero or not.

    Especially when it turns out that said hero has little to no skill.

    Summary

    The Master Sword is known for being picky with her wielders, refusing to be held by those who are not deemed worthy. As a result, each incarnation of the Hero's Soul will always find the blade waiting for them wherever their predecessor set it down for the final time.

    This is not always a good thing.

    (It is rare for heroes die with the Master Sword in hand. Even rarer for heroes to not be given a proper burial.)

    (The Fallen Hero has always been the worst-case scenario.)

    Summary

    Link was done. Retired. The Master Sword asleep in the forest and Rauru's arm gone with the ancient king's spirit. But when Gloom reappears on Death Mountain, Link and Zelda go to wake the Sword and find her in the hands of a green-clad child wearing a strange, spiky mask. Suddenly mentor to a feral protégé (and accidental reincarnation?), Link juggles investigating Gloom's resurgence, dealing with time-displaced monsters, finding a dead god, and healing from his past adventures.

    Summary

    Hyrule found her hurt and alone in the wastelands of his Hyrule. Back then, he'd been a lone traveler named Link who was just trying to survive in a world that was against him. She had been searching for someone long dead. Together, they forged a strong friendship—an invaluable and unbreakable bond. Until the day came when Hyrule encountered his first Portal.
    And Navi vanished.

    Familiar Faces by

    Summary

    He saw the cute red head again, and he wandered over to ‘accidentally’ bump into her. He made a mess of it, naturally.
    “Oh no!”
    Fruit went tumbling out of a basket she was carrying, and Link scurried to help her pick them up. “I’m so sorry!”
    Link looked up to finally get a good look at her, his eyes meeting hers and then proceeding to widen. “Malon?”
    She shook her head. “Sorry, you must have me confused with someone else."
    ...

    All the familiar faces that Link has met over the years have some meaning to him, one way or another. From the guy who reminds him of his uncle, to the simpering girl who looks like a crazy one he met on an uncharted island, to eight others wearing versions of his own face. One in particular, though, meant more to him than any other in any world or era.
