Summary
“I met a traveller from an antique land” - Ozymandius, line 1
A new young Hero is summoned to the War of Ages — a soot-stained engineer with a kind smile who speaks to ghosts. He hits it off right away with the energetic sailor, and he even gets the boy from the forest to open up. Captain Link immediately notices that the new Hero is clever, observant, and detail-oriented — perfect traits for a martial strategist. And what better way to keep the kid safe than to keep him off the front lines?
Link would come to regret his actions, but by then it would be far, far too late.
The story of how Spirit became known as the Tactician, the greatest war strategist of the Hyrulean army.
A canonical part of the War Games AU.

War Games Side Stories by shadows_of_stars, twistsandturns, TwoDumbasses
Fandom: Linked Universe - Fandom, Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic), The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors
09 Aug 2025
Summary
War Games is a collaborative AU created by Team Tactics, based on the premise "What if Spirit was in the War of Ages... and what if that wasn't a good thing?" It is a branching-timeline story that is currently being written into a longfic and multiple side stories. The main themes are the meaning of the "greater good," the worth of pyrrhic victories, love as both a destructive and regenerative force, grief and recovery, and the ways people react to pressure. Remember: war does not forge good people.
There are a number of “side stories” and “what-if stories” in the AU, which are told in the War Games Side Stories series. These stories are mostly non-canonical to the core series and are written by Team Tactics. Side stories will be added to the series in no particular order, but the series will be maintained in chronological order (or as close as we can get with a time travel/alternate universe story).
Team Tactics consists of five members: shadows_of_stars, TwoDumbasses, Hytia, Rose, and twistsandturns. shadows_of_stars is our primary “prosist” (turning the story into fic) — blame them for any issues with the writing.

Summary
So maybe Legend took a look at the little pot of medicine, resting so innocently in his hand, and shoved it back into his bag as he’d done every day for the past several weeks. So what? It’s his body, his choice.

Summary
“This is no group of mere hapless travelers like the others. We have the illustrious Hero of Hyrule himself in our midst!”
And with that, the priest swept his sword up with a dramatic flourish, then lowered it, pointing it straight…
…at Warriors.
(or: Due to an unforeseen combination of circumstances, a branch of the Cult of Ganon in Hyrule’s era mistakes the Hero of Warriors for the Hero of Hyrule. Terrible times are had by all. 👉😎👉)
