The ability to break reality and all common sense is unique among the heroes of courage. Those granted wisdom are wise enough to know the risk and choose not do regardless of whether they know how. Those granted power are too cowardly to capitalize on it. Thus, only those granted courage have the reckless abandon to take the plunge, clipping through walls and saving the day in under an hour. This is a story about those heroes.

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.

“I’m Zelda,” he said.
The group digested that statement.
“Wild,” said Legend, very slowly and clearly. “What the actual fuck?”
“I’m Zelda,” Wild said again. “I’m a girl. I’ve been a girl this whole time.”
In which Wild is Zelda, a startling conversation is had over Dink's dead body, and the reveals only escalate from there.

When most of the Links changed worlds, they would experience an ache in the gums, ringing ears, general instability or perhaps a persistent headache.
Four, however, was affected far worse. He would start shaking, be unable to put pressure on certain limbs or feel from parts of his body, once or twice he even experienced mild deafness and moderate blindness (along with prolonged or heightened versions of the other’s symptoms). All of this, mind you, is if he didn’t just pass out.
The others had no clue why. They accommodated him as best as they could, carrying him when he couldn’t walk, and being patient when he couldn’t cooperate. For this, Four was extremely thankful, although he just wanted a break at this point.

Link leads them to a little clearing that has a shack whose roof he personally fixed, a well-maintained fire pit, and a tree. It's the closest thing he has to a home, and here, he's never been in danger. Ever. Not even Ganon's servants can find him here.
Naturally, the others are curious as to why.
He didn't expect the veteran to be this curious, however.

PROMPT: "Shadow joining the Links on their adventures. Whether or not this gets angsty bc no one trusts a dark Link, or it's fluff bc Four and Shadow become closer friends is up to you. I really just would like to see more content with Shadow in it (can be as angsty and pain-filled as whoever is writing it wants to be)"
It is a beautiful night in Hyrule. And Vaati is a horrible mage.
(But like a sunbeam bursting though the clouds, hope will shine through.)
(A.K.A Shadow deserved a chance in the light: The Fic)

When Link pulled the Four Sword, it did more than split his body, it shattered his soul. He only barely managed to get back together again, and grown used to being back in one body.
He's learned to live with it, to deal with the suspicious glances and hurtful rumors, but that was when he was still living alone. When he didn't have to worry about seven other heroes and friends. When he didn't care what people thought of him.
No, his friends didn't need to know of his condition. He could handle it. It was fine.
The others start to notice things, and it all goes downhill from there.

“So I admit that the mud didn’t do much for me,” Hyrule said, “but in my defense, I was really hungry.”
Wind leaned forward, slamming his hands down on the blue rug he sat on. His wide eyes reflected the fire. “You ate mud? Okay, ‘Rule, top three weirdest things you ate on your adventures, go.”

"A tap on his shoulder.
Legend gasped and stumbled forward—he’d forgotten Wild was beside him, he hadn’t realized how far forward he’d craned over the bushes—landing on the little ridge overlooking the pond in plain view.
“Oh, no!” Wild hissed behind him, sounding genuinely distraught.
Legend scrambled to lift his head——and found each and every spirit looking at him."

Four has already figured it out. He’s been looking around, and Legend can see that he’s noted the walls, and the carvings, and the fact that this whole place is overrun with monsters.
“This isn’t exactly a palace, is it, Legend?” Four says, testing out the words. “It’s a tomb. My tomb.”
---------
A fresh, bright hibiscus rests daintily behind one ear as she sways in place, humming a tune Legend knows in the depths of his soul. Her name chokes in Legend's throat. He can’t move; can barely think—
“Marin?”
Legend whips around— It wasn’t him who said that.
It was Warriors.
---------
In which a visit to the Palace of the Four Sword sets a series of conflicts and reveals in motion.

“I wasn’t buying anything,” the guy says.
“Why the fuck were you here, then?” she asks incredulously.
The guy sighs. Ravio takes a deep breath. Suddenly he looks like he’s holding in… laughter?
“Because,” the guy says, extremely irate, “I fucking LIVE here, DIPSHIT.”
She stares. “You live in Ravio’s fucking SHOP?”
He throws his hands up in the air. “NO!” he cries. “RAVIO’S SHOP LIVES IN MY HOUSE!”
