Legend holding up a water bottle: You see this water bottle? The amount of water in there is how much I care.

Wind: There’s no water in there though…

Legend: I know.

Dink/Dark Link: so your weapon of choice is philosophy

Legend: yeah, philosophy, and also this sword! pulls out a sword

Warriors: I'm sorry, your prepeeling your fruit??? who does that even??

Legend: oh you haven't yet? Oh Ravio and I have already prepeeled our fruit.

Ravio offscreen: I prepeeled them last year!

Legend nodding: I actually just prepeeled our grapes.

Warriors blinking slowly: I'm sorry, you prepeel grapes?!

Legedn and Ravio: You don't?!

Four: Now thats unpeelable.

Also, thanks to @arsonisticscholar with THIS POST for inspiring this fic. It was really fun to write!

I wanted to try out some different headcanons and ideas for Four's pov, so here: (Also Four is a they/them) Red Green Blue Vio Shadow Four Another thing, Four is not a DID system. Four is their own person (Hylian?) and the colors (Plus shadow) ARE Four. Four is not the colors. Their eyes change depending on which trait is being shown. Like they shine more red when They're being compassionate and more violet when they are strategizing. Also, Shadow is in Four's shadow, and has no physical form. But he is there for the ride!

It started out innocently enough.

But then, Vio ruined everything. Because of course that sneaky dramatic bastard did.

Four had been traveling with the past heroes for, well a while now. (Ha that rhymed. Shut up Green.) And Four had not revealed his ability to split. But, since they had grown and considered the heroes brothers, they wanted to tell them. So, they sat off to the side of the campfire one day, thinking about how they wanted to tell the other heroes.

We could just split in front of them! With no reason? It would make more sense to do it in a battle. Yeah, plus you need more flare. How about we just bring it up in one of their 'comparing adventures' talk? Doubt they would even hear us over Warrior's loud mouth. Hey don't be so mean Blue!

Four hummed quietly, jolting when they felt a hand on their shoulder. Looking up, they met Wild's scarred face. He held out a bowl of soup, and Four took it carefully. Doing their best to not spill it. As they ate their soup, which tasted like potatoes and vegetables, they tuned back in to the colors and Shadow. The lack of Vio was disturbing, as he had not said a word yet.

What if we told all the links separately, make them think only they know. Vio finally chimed in. Yes! Now that's the kind of flare and drama we want.

Uh, that's kind of mean.. Yeah, I agree with Red. They're our brothers! You son of a bitch. I'm in.

So it's three against two, Four?

I mean, that is kind of mean.. but also would be really funny.

Four against two. Nice pun. No one cares Green. I care! Who we telling first? Why not do Wind first? I always feel like Wind is left out of all secrets.

Four smiled, looking at Wind as he waved his hands energetically as he talked with Hyrule.

The day was sunny and warm. Wind strolled next to Four in the back of the line. They had been in an unknown time, somewhere between Twilight and Time, and as they strolled through Hyrule Field, Four cleared his throat.

"Hey Wind?" Wind turned to look at Four, who was glancing around like he was scared of someone eavesdropping. Wind glanced at the other heroes, the closest being Warriors and Legend, both loudly arguing over something again.

"Yeah? What's up Four?"

"I, I have a secret that I haven't told anyone." Four started and Wind perked up curiously. Normally, Wind isn't the first person to trust with secrets, as he had been apparently the last to know about Wolfie. He was curious and kind of excited that Four was trusting him.

"You can count on me to keep your secret!" Wind whispered quietly. "I promise no one else will ever know or hear it from my mouth!"

Four smiled, his multicolored eyes flashing more purple (Four always claimed that it was violet, like one of the colors on his tunic.) then the normal swirl.

"I am four raccoons in a trench coat. I guess five raccoons? But really the fifth doesn't count."

(Shadow blew in an offended gasp and huffed quietly.)

Wind blinked momentarily, his brain trying to process what Four just said.

"Wait, you mean you're not even Hylian?!" Wind whispered.

Four just smirked. "I guess that's up to your interpretation."

Then Four walked in silence, leaving Wind to brew over the words. He never clarified what he meant.

Next on the list was Time. But Four also wanted to get another hero. So They devised a plan to tell Time during one of the watches, while another hero was awake.

They waited a while, keeping a careful eye out on Time's watch for any awake heroes. They finally got the moment. It was in Wild's time, Time was sitting staring at the fire, and Warriors was moving just a little to much to be asleep. In fact, Four noticed his eyes fluttering open and closed.

***

Time was staring at the fire, his ears perked for strange noises. He heard Warriors shuffling a bit, and Sky snored quietly next to Hyrule. Suddenly, he heard groaning and shuffling of someone getting up. Turning around, he saw Four blearily walk towards him and taking a seat next to him. Facing the fire. Its light cast a soft glow on the surrounding heroes, bathing Warriors and Wild in an orange light, as they were the closest to the fire.

"Hello there little one." Time murmured as Four sat next to him.

"Hey Time? I need to tell you something." Four begain in a slightly husky voice. Time quietly turned to face Four curiously and waited for him to continue.

"I haven't told anyone yet... but I can split." Four explained quietly. Time tilted his head waiting for Four to explain.

"I can like, split myself and become four different versions of, well, myself. All my adventures had something to do with the spliting. Due to one of my adventures, I was split for so long that I sometimes gets headaches if I don't split for a while." Four explained, holding out his hands to the fire.

"Have you split recently?" Time asked, seeing Four nod.

"Yeah. I have."

They both sat in silence for a bit. Then Time asked a question that was burning inside of him.

"Does anyone else know?" Time asked.

Four shook his head. "No, not yet."

Time nodded. "Take your time in telling them."

They sat in silence again, listening to the crackling of the fire. Four got up and excused himself, walking back to his sleeping bag. Time stopped him before he went.

"Hey Four? Thank you for being brave and telling me." Time smiled gently.

Four smiled back, tucking himself in. Three down, six to go.

***

Warriors was very sure that he wasn't meant to hear that conversation, but as Time gently woke him up for the next shift, he sat quietly by the fire. His eyes flicking towards the smallest hero's form sleeping quietly.

He wondered if he should tell Four he over heard or not. He descided that Four would tell him later anyways, and he should respect his space, but he also didn't want to lie to his fellow hero.

He sighed quietly, looking up to the star filled sky.

What should I do?

Warriors did in fact tell Four the truth the next day, and was met with a lot less hostility then he was expecting. Just a smiled and a 'Thank you for telling me'.

It was after telling Time and Warriors that another joined the train of supporting the idea.

This is actually pretty fun! See, I knew you would see sense you fellow chaos incarnate. I mean, it is kind of fun, but I still feel a little bad about lying to them. You'll understand soon Green. That's ominous.

***

Hyrule yawned blinking at the shining sun. He covered his eyes at the bright light, taking a moment to gather where he was.

He saw the familiar walls of Malon's and Time's house spread before him. Noticing that Wind had probably already woken up and Four was quietly reading a book in the corner. Four glanced up at him as he stretched, sitting up in the comfortable bed. He could feel his magic replenished after the battle last night, ready and hovering at his fingertips ready to be used.

"Hey, good morning Hyrule. Did you sleep well?" Four asked, his eyes gleaming red and green in the sunlight.

Hyrule nodded. "Yeah. I am back to my full strength again." Hyrule smiled, cracking his neck quietly.

Four smiled, starting to stand up and leave, but he stopped in the doorway. Turning, Four stared at Hyrule with an intense expression.

"Hey Hyrule? Can I tell you something?" Hyrule tilted his head much like what Wolfie does.

"Yeah of course!"

"Well, hmmm. How do I phrase this... Take my name, but litterally." Four explained.

Hyrule blinked not knowing how to take that information. "Uh wh-" Hyrule trailed off noticing Four was already gone. He sat in the bed staring at the doorway blankly for a few minutes, processing what just happened. He came down a bit later, giving Four a confused glance as he sat down. Soon though, his attention was on all the delicious food Wild and Malon had made.

Four found Wild as he sat on top of the roof. A crisp cool air ruffled his long hair as he watched the sky. Below Wild could see the village laid out, seeing Legend and Twilight and some of the other heroes rushing to and fro in Hateno Village.

Four sat next to Wild, the smaller not making much noise as they surveyed the land.

"Hey Wild? Can I tell you something?" Four asked suddenly, and Wild blinked, jerking his head towards the smaller hero.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah! Of course what's up?"

Four scratched his neck, his eyes gleaming a mix of red and violet. (Wild swears that's violet. Violet is so much more bluer then purple!) "Okay, so imagine yourself, but there are more of you." Four simply said, gestering to himself. Wild stared at him blankly. "That's my life."

They sat in silence as the rest of the heroes marched back from a successful shopping trip. Trying to understand what Four had said kept Wild thinking about it and getting distracted. He was so distracted that he almost cut himself. Twilight glanced at him worriedly and he brushed it off as 'just being happy to be back!'.

Wild couldn't wrap his head around it.

If there were more of me, that would be everyone's worse nightmare.

Legend always thought Four was a little odd. His dislike of magic swords, his height, his hatred of a special pepper (Legend would even call it a fear), muttering to himself and so on. He always considered himself to be very observant, knowing when to push and when to pull, but he didn't know what to do about Four. The oddest part though was that Four was... somehow familiar to Legend which frankly scared him.

It wasn't until Four had slide up to him did he pay any mind to his thoughts. He noticed Four looking nervous, but he could also see something else well hidden in his eyes. Mischief.

"Oh no, what have you, Wind, Hyrule or Wild done now." Legend said, crossing his arms amused. Four grinned.

"Well, I haven't done anything yet. But I wanted to tell you something." Four said. Legend stared at the colorful hero.

"So, basically I can be in multiple places at once." Four said, and Legend stared at Four not knowing how to process that.

(I mean, you're not technically wrong..)

Four grinned at Legend's expression, hopping off and leaving a flabbergasted Legend staring after him. Then Legend's eyes flickered over to see Wild just as Twilight called out.

"WAIT WILD NO-"

Twilight hummed as he strolled through the street, Four stood close nearby as they hurried. There weren't many hylians out, so they were easily able to navigate through.

"All we need is some apples.." Twilight said thoughtfully, his eyes scanning for the red fruit.

Four gasped. "I see some over there" He pointed to a green stand with the red fruit. Twilight and Four hurried over, buying the apples and leaving some rupees for the owner.

"We have everything Wild asked for, lets go back to the inn." Twilight smiled, putting the apples in a bag. As the two made their way over to the inn, Four nudged Twilight. Twilight looked down at Four who pointed towards the nearby forest.

"Four? Something wrong?" Twilight asked. Four thought a moment.

"Well, first I want to show you something and second, I need to do something first." Four said, dragging Twilight over.

The two moved into the forest, finding a clearing surrounded by a thick wall of trees.

"Here." Four said, and Twilight glanced around noting that it was just leaves, rocks and trees.

"What?-" Twilight started, looking back at Four to see him draw his blade and point it towards the sky. A sudden flash of light erupted and Twilight stood there blinking dazedly as Four glowed several different colors and noticed how they split off. When the light cleared, Twilight blinked staring at now four separate Fours. Each looked exactly the same with the only difference being their main theme of color. Twilight noticed how all the Fours wore seperate clothes, the blue one wearing all blue, the green one wearing all green, and so on. There were a green one, a blue one, a purple one, and a red one. All their headbands were different colors also, each one corresponding to their color scheme. Twilight also noticed that none of the four Fours were wearing the colorful tunic, as they all had one color from the orginal tunic.

"Uhm-" Twilight started before he was interrupted by the blue Four.

"Wow Vio, very creative idea. Totally unoriginal. I'm sure that none of us ever possibly thought of this." The blue Four complained.

"I didn't see you coming up with any ideas!" Vio, or the purple Four resorted.

"Hey, now we don't need to fight right? I mean I'm sure Twilight is very confused." The red Four stated, waving his hands and getting between the blue Four and Vio.

The final one, one wearing a green tunic, walked up to Twilight. "Hi, sorry about them. They are... my siblings? Me? I'll just call them siblings. Hi, I'm Green, I know a very creative name, you can thank Red. The two arguing over there is Blue and Vio, and the one who is trying to stop them is Red." Green waved. "Okay now how to explain? Well we are Four. Its as simple as that. If you want more details, you can probably ask Vio, but unless you have all day to listen, I wouldn't recommend."

"Now the colors make sense I guess." Twilight chuckled.

Red grinned at him, Blue huffed and crossed his arms, Green laughed and Vio shot Twilight an unreadble expression.

"No one else knows about this." Vio started. Red chimed in. "Yeah we need you to keep a secret!"

Blue and Green looked slightly uncomforable, but nodded. Green a half second later then Blue. Twilight smiled.

"You can count on me!"

Four grinned. Eight down, one more to go! Okay, I agree this is fun. See I knew you would see sense soon! We're running out of things to say... Why don't we just tell Sky the truth. But we have been? No no no. Not like that... Oh that's evil. What can I say, I've been practicing. And you've had one of the best tutors! Four rolled his eyes playfully.

He tried to approach Sky several times, but never was able to get close enough yet. He was finally able to get his chance when the chain had landed on Tetra's ship. Wind had eagerly introduced the heroes to Tetra before, so Tetra didn't even bat an eye at the sudden arrivals. Instantly, she let them settle down (with the exception of Wind who she instantly put to work and he energetically followed) in the hull of the ship. The other heroes were up on the deck, with the only ones being Legend and Sky. The former hiding somewhere in the back end of the hull and the former being in the front of the hull.

Four moved towards Sky, stopping to stand right next to him.

Sky looked up at Four, smiling weakly. Four waved and stood next to Sky, leaning over to take a closer look at what Sky was doing. Sky had been carving a small wooden statue. Upon a closer look, Four noticed that it looked eerily like Tetra.

"Hey Four." Sky smiled tiredly.

Four smiled. "Hey, I wanted to tell you something."

"Do I tell the others? No? My lips are shut!" Sky sat straight miming zipping his lips.

"I've been telling the heroes my secret but also telling them that they are the only one who knows. Do what you what you will with this information." Four said, grinning as they saw Sky stiffen, and simply turned away and walked off.

Sky stared after the small colorful hero, blinking wildly thinking over what Four just said.

Wait I'm sorry. What? What secret?! Sky shook his head, confusion sweeping over him.

Well, I guess that makes sense why all the heroes have been doing their best to help Four, or at least Time, Warriors, Legend and Twilight...

**

Four practically cackled out of sight at the entire antics. He could hear the colors also laughing and snorting at the full on confusion that was going on.

You know we're going to get busted soon right? Yeah, but it was fun and so worth it. It was fun! Now, should we make a bet to see how long it takes for them to find out? We literally share a wallet. Yeah but its still funny. I would say maybe two weeks? Nah gotta be shorter then that. What about until our next switch! That's not very specific.

In the end, both Red and Four were right, as it was at the next switch, two weeks later, that they were busted.

But they all had their fun.

The ghost of the Ranch

Main Navigation Center

My Fic Masterlist

A ghost roamed the ranch. Every time Wild would pass it, he could hear the whispering in the breeze, the shifting of the leaves. The talking of the ghost.

The rumor said that the ghost had been there for thousands of years, desperately searching for something, someone. The ghost never attacked him. All it did was watch, listen and spoke to nobody and everybody. The ghost calls for their lost family, eager to finally be reunited again.

Wild never truly understood the spirit, its words were too quiet and its crying sorrow broke his heart. It says that that ghost waits until the day she can be free.

Until the day she reunites with the one called Wild.

Wild knew, sometimes he thought he could hear the ghost cry his name. His name echoing from her lips and spilling onto the ground like a cascade of water. Until it dries and nothing is left.

She calls im sorrow, the folks say, she is cursed and will never leave. Wild walked towards the ranch, and as he slowly approached, he could hear his name spoken.

The ghost turned towards him, her eyes sulkened and her clothes torn and gracefully flowing behind her.

Her hair, once red and blooming, now dry and grey. A plain ring sat on her index finger and her calloused hands now flickering in the light. Shapes, far duller than the ghost, wandered the place. None could be clearly seen, but they turned towards Wild with expressions familar and yet, new. Sometimes, there are other shapes. All glowing blue. Swords gleam in their scabbards and hats on their heads. Some say that they see a triforce piece glowing on their hands

"Wild" The ghost whispered. "Wild you have finally come." She was home.

Sky: See, you gotta stay positive, even in the worst of times!

Hyrule, joining in: I agree with that statement.

Warriors: How are you so positive while we’re going to be sacrificed??

Wind No- no don’t do it Wind… WIND!!!

Twilight sighed as watched Wild jump off the tree for the seventh time in the last hour.

Currently, they were relaxing (as much as they could as heroes) in Wild’s time. They sat at a stable. A large open field sat around the stable where some wild horses grazed.

Wild was being the normal menace he is, was riding around the fields at top speed on one of his various horses, shooting monsters as he passed. Legend sat under a tree alongside Hyrule, both talking in hushed whispers as they too watched Wild trotting around. Sky had a book and was reading it next to Four, who was currently staring off into space with a thoughtful expression. Time and Warriors chatted as they brushed Epona’s mane, the horse snorting in pleasure. Wind was talking with some hylians at the cooking pot.

Twilight stared at Wind, the pirate talked quickly and waved his hands around. And just for a moment, Twilight thought he saw a flash of bronze, but when he blinked it was gone.

Strange.

Sky blinked blearly at the sunset. He heard his brothers around him talking as Wild gently stirred the soup. Suddenly, a crack sounded nearby like a stick being stepped on. All the links turned, hands on their swords. A small man stepped out with his hands up, he was muddy and ragged, as if he had been traveling trough several miles of mud and swamp.

“Hey, I didn’t mean no harm. I’m just tryin to find my way to castletown. Might you point me in the direction and I’ll be on my way.” He said in a heavy country accent.

Legend narrowed his eyes suspicious, but Time stepped up. Since this was his hyrule afterall.

“Well-“ Time started gestering the man over. But was interrupted by Wind as he hopped up.

“I know what direction it is! Come here,” Wind gestered the man over and the man looked at Time, then glanced at Wind and shrugged. Following Wind over to the opposite side of camp. Wind turned around a full 180 degrees, pointing straight ahead. “Castletown should be that way!”

Sky smiled at Wind’s enthusiasm to help. But he blinked quickly, thinking he saw something vanish into Wind’s bag. But he shrugged because that was probably something he was fiddling with earlier.

To say Legend was mad would be an understatement. He was livid. Legend growled as the bokoblin jabbed at him with a blunt spear. Black blood bled from its side where he had jabbed it earlier.

The monsters had attack them at the worst of times. One moment they were just relaxing and then the next, surprise attack! Several knights also were fighting them, as they were right at the entrance of castletown. (Legend was still a bit sour since the bounty. I mean come on! Legend was so worth more then they were paying. But also his hatred of knights. They never seem to do their job right.)

Wild had a nasty injury and Four was stumbling a bit, but other then that the others were holding out just fine.

Until it came.

It was dark and black. Blacker then night. It’s glowing red eyes gleamed from its stupid lizard skull. It should’ve been dead by now. Yet it was still standing.

And Legend just wanted to murder that little jerk.

It had hurt Hyrule, who currently was inside the castle, being forced to recover from the massive wound it had inflicted. It looked raw and red when Legend had seen it. Now here Legend was, shoving and slicing monsters onto his path to that annoying, pesky lizard.

Wind appeared by his side in an instant, helping him push back the monsters. The lizard’s head shot up, turning to face him. And it hissed. Legend distantly noticed the lack of monsters and saw a whole lot more land and monster dust floating in the breeze. But all that mattered was that little lizard son of a bi-

The Lizard’s red eyes roamed the battle field, before it promptly vanished. Legend stood blinking at the sudden lack of an enemy that he didn’t notice all the monsters dead around him.

Legend felt hands on his arm, and turned to stare at Four.

Four smiled and gently hugged Legend. Legend hugged back with less force. He saw his brothers around the clearing, Time talking with the captain, Warriors and Sky talking, Wild collecting every weapon he could, Twilight and Wind talking with the knights.

Legend blearly noticed Wind putting something in one of his pockets, but Legend didn’t fully process what was going on.

Hyrule sighed as Warriors, and Wind strolled ahead of him. He was lagging behind due to seeing something interesting, but Warriors had pulled him back. Telling him that they were there to get some groceries.

He had noticed Wind hopping off to talk with people, making a very short conversation before he hopped back and pointed to a stall with tips from the person. He seemed to just naturally be better at talking then anyone Hyrule had seen or really met. Maybe the only other person being Four on some occasions. Both being able to weave some pretty good stories and trick some high ranking officers.

Warriors pointed out a particular stall, noting the various foods that was splayed out and being sold. Hyrule caught up to Wind and Warriors noting that Wind had something in his hands.

Hyrule blinked, trying to see what it was, but it was gone. Shrugging, he followed Warriors and Wind up to the stall. Pointing out some fruits.

But he couldn’t help but notice that Wind looked a little.. too energetic…

Warriors sat at the table as Malon shuffled around somewhere upstairs. He grinned as he watched Four, Legend, Hyrule, and Wind quietly stare at each other with their cards up.

“You let your guard down. Boom. Straight.” Warriors grinned putting his cards down.

“We’re playing go fish though!” Wind exclaimed.

Four blinked at them. “I thought we were doing uno…”

Legend groaned, hitting his head on the table. It sounded so loud that Warriors was a little worried that he had knocked himself unconscious.

Wild cackled, a sound which caused Hyrule next to him jump. He threw a card down. “I nope your straight!”

Hyrule blinked at everyone. Not saying anything.

Suddenly, Malon’s father walked in and sat next to Wind. He regarded the state of everyone, Legend with his head down, Wild gleefully cackling, Hyrule looking around with a confused expression, Wind watching with the most nuetral face possible, Four who was staring at the cards all out on the table quietly, and Warriors who was currently priding in his win.

“Seems like this is going well.” He mused, chuckling at the display in front of him.

Wind grinned. “Yeah, this is fun!”

“Has anyone seen one of my rings?” Malon’s voice called.

“Nope!” Warriors called out.

If it was possible, Wind’s face got even more neutral and expressionless.

Wild was not the most organized person. But he sword that he had put a comet shard in his slate. as he searched, he came up with nothing. Groaning, he glanced at the night sky.

“You okay there?” Wind asked, twirling a small dagger in his off hand.

“Yeah, I thought I had a comet shard, but apparently not. I guess I’ll just have to get one later.” Wild grinned at the promise of adventure.

Wind smiled. “Of course!” His hand came to his bag, before falling short to just resting on top of the bag. Strangely enough, Wild thought he imagined a slight yellow glow emitting from the bag.

But if it was glowing, it had stopped.

Time watched Wind carefully. He had noticed Wind’s bag getting suspiciously full. They hadn’t come across any new towns but already Wind’s bag had a bunch of stuff and was slightly bulging.

Time had suspicions, but over the entire trip its seemed as if it has only grown. But strangely enough, Wind has not been buying anything for himself to keep.

Time had noticed it two switches ago when Wind’s bag was heavier. Time had thought nothing of it then, just assuming that maybe he has been keeping souvenirs and maybe rocks or something. But clearly something was going on.

Time was determined to find out exactly what.

Four’s known something’s been up since the start. Maybe it was when one of the daggers that he made vanished. Perhaps it could of been the way that Wind’s bag clacked and clinked together. Perhaps it was that wherever Wind went, things disappeared. He noticed when a man was searching for a feather that he had, he noticed when Legend somehow lost a shiny rock. (It really was only shiny as Legend said, he really didn’t care much for it.)

Four also noticed how Wind’s bag mysteriously got more and more stuff in it. He noticed how he always went to it after every conversation with someone.

One day, in Sky’s hyrule, Four decided to confront him.

He strolled up to Wind who was sitting next to his bag leisurely, watching Sky and the rest of the chain as they flew through the sky. Minus Time, Legend, Four and Wind, everyone was outside looking at all the different loftwings.

“Hey Wind!” Four cheerfully said, standing next to Wind. Wind startled, glancing up to Four quickly.

“Oh hello Four!” Wind responded with the same amount of cheer.

“You know, I’ve noticed something strange.” Four started. “It involves you it seems.”

Wind scratched his neck. “Oh really?”

Four grinned. “Yes. It seems that your bag there is getting quite heavy…” he motioned to it. “Much heavier for someone who hasn’t bought anything.”

Wind shrugged, Four could clearly tell he was getting a little nervous by how his shoulders tensed by the littlest bit.

“What do you mean? Its been the same weight as always.”

“Really, I highly doubt that with how much stuff its been getting..” Wind was sweating now.

“Okay fine!” Wind exclaimed. Legend looked over at Wind’s sudden outburst before he returned to his book uninterested and lazily turned a page.

“I’m a pirate. Its always been natural to me.. I’ve been uhh…” Wind trailed off, wringing his hands together.

“Stealing?” Four supplied, looking at Wind as he stared at the ground.

“Yeah…”

Four shook his head. “Of course. That makes a lot of sense. How long?”

Wind blinked at Four. “Wait you’re not.? Oh well uhm. Like the last ten switches? Maybe more..”

“Can I ask why you stole items?”

“I guess it was instinct? But also like.. I realized that this quest has to come to an end somehow… and well…” Wind sighed.

“You’ve been taking because its natural and because you want memos from this trip?” Four inquired, glancing at the slightly taller hero.

He nodded.

“I’m sure you can get some memos from other ways! Besides, we all might want a memo.”

They sat there, basking in the fresh air of Sky’s home. Watching their brothers flying in the sky.

Four after being made fun of how short he is: So, you've chosen death.

I just saw the chain work in a restaurant au post and thought what if The Chain is the name of a chain of restaurants making it a chain restaurant and each Link actually works at the branch that’s named as their games and they know of each other but only because it’s become common knowledge that there’s multiple Links in The Chain

Hmmmm. Now I never thought of it like that.

If a Link is in the 'Chain of Restraunts' in the chain of restraunts, what would that make the Link?

Now the bigger question would be what would the respective restraunts be serving?

Another possibility is that they are working in a mall called ‘The chain’ or smth, and that the different links work at separate food stalls in like the food area. Probably with their Zeldas.

Sky: Wake me up-

Wild: Before you go go

Hyrule: When September ends

Legend: WAKE ME UP INSIDE

Sky: -after all this.. Are, are you guys all okay?

Alt version: (alt inspired from comments)

Sky: Wake me up-

Wild: Before you go go.

Hyrule: When September ends.

Legend: WAKE ME UP INSIDE.

Sky: -when this is all over. Wrong songs guys.

*Modern au*

Hyrule: When will Ted himself... Finally show up to the talk?

Wind: The final boss.

Four: You guys do realize that TEDtalks stand for technology, entertainment, and design talks right?

Wild: I will not let Ted hide behind these lies any longer!

*modern au, the chain work in a restaurant*

Rude customer: what can I get here that has no sugar, no carbs and fat free?

Legend: Water.

Four: I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier plan.

Wild: We could attack them with hummus.

Four: I stand corrected.

Wild shrugging: Just keeping things in perspective.

Four: Actually, that’s fair. Sometimes I remember that I was split and had to deal with me, myself and I.

Legend: You don’t want to get me started.

Time: The moon has a face.

Warriors: What weird thoughts keep you up at night?

Sky: Some people put milk before the cereal.

Wind: That one time I fell off my boat while trying to catch a bug.

Hyrule: What if my blue is someone else’s red?

Twilight: I’ll never see Midna again.

Wild: Almost everyone I ever knew died and my Hyrule fell because I couldn’t defeat Ganon the first time.

Four:

Four: Wtf

Wild: Also that one weird horse god that threatens to kill me sometimes.

Time: That sounds like a terrible plan.

Twilight: Oh, we've had worse.

Wild and Wind causing chaos, Legend and Warriors arguing, Twilight and Sky trying to stop everyone. Four watching the chaos with a deadpan expression Time turns to look at the camera like in the office: Now you see this? This is what I have to deal with.

Four, later, to the same camera: Don't tell anyone, but Time and I started the chaos. Hyrule spotted us and, like a smart man, chose to record it for us.

Wind: You know what to say!

Four deadpan: Y'aint the boss of me.

Twilight crying tiny little tears: I'm so proud

Legend: you see, here I was. Expecting another normal Tuesday, and then you come walking in here. Now you say that we have a quest? Jeez, can't take a break in Hyrule.

Wild: It’s not like I try to blow things up, exactly. It just sort of happens. You’ve got to admit though, fire is fascinating…

*Wild later*: And thats how Warriors tragically lost his life. He will be missed.

Warriors: I’m not dead quit it!

*Wind sadly*: sometimes I still hear his voice

Or an Alternative end:

*Warriors being attacked* *scratch tape*

Warriors: Yeah that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here. Well…

Wind, running into camp: gUYS!!

*Holds up a cucco with pink feathers wearing a blue cap* Legend's been turned into a cucco!!!

Cucco!Legend: *grumpy birb noises*

Everyone except Sky: *horrified gasps*

Four: How the fuck?

Warriors: Don't you mean "How the Cluck?"

Everyone: ...

Warriors: *attacked by Cucco!Legend*

Green: you know you have more weapons then your fire rod right?

Red: And what is your point, hylian in fire rod distance?

Green: Don’t you think we’re missing something here..?

Red: Teamwork? Cohesion? A general sense of what we’re doing?

Vio: We left the bomb behind…

Red: Oh yeah, that too…

Blue: Who. The. Fuck. Dropped. The bomb?!

Wild: What’s 5 x 2, come on give it your best shot.

Wind raising his hand:

Wild: Wind?

Wind: 12?

Wild: Okay lets get an answer from someone who is not a dumbass.

Hyrule raising his hand: 7!!

Wild: not you either.

Four eyes purple, raises his hand: what are the weather conditions at the time this problem needs to be completed?

Time in the back whispering to Twilight: wait its not 12?

Wild sick and tired: I give up.

BONUS:

Sky: snoring loudly

Legend: counting on his hands confused.

Warriors: facepalming Oh my Hylia. I'm surrounded by idiots.

Four: You seriously believe that having more rupees automatically brings you happiness?

Wild: No, but it also doesn’t automatically depress me either.

Four shrugging: fair enough.

Now this. This is amazing! I love the change with Time’s role. And the expressions?! Amazing!!

Meme based on this post from @traveleroffarawayplaces but I changed up Time's role a bit lol

Legend: See, may Hylia forgive you, because I sure as heck won’t.

Legend: Actually, screw Hylia. She’s next.

"So, you are all the past heroes?" Wild asked, scratching his neck nerviously.

"Yeah, I've been the hero once too many times." Legend sighed, leaning on his hands as he stared into the fire.

They were in a forest in Wild's Hyrule, a peaceful place surprisingly. All the other heroes slumbered quietly as three heroes sat around a low fire.

Four laughed quietly as Wild stared at Legend.

"I mean, eight quests has to count for something." Legend shook his head.

"I mean, yeah. I've only been on three." Four poked the fire a bit.

Wild swiveled his head to stare at Four. "I've only been on one!" he shook his head. "What."

Legend chuckled. "Be glad you've only been on one."

Four nodded. "Yes, my grandpa always told me 'Sei dankbar für das, was du hast' and all that. It means 'be thankful for what you have."

"What language is that? I've never heard of it." Legend tilted his head at Four.

"German."

"Wow, never heard of that language."

"Pourquoi êtes-vous tous éveillés?" A groggy voice asked as a tired Warriors joined the circle.

"Uhm, what?" Wild blinked at the sudden company.

"Hmm?" Warriors blinked tiredly at Wild again. "Oh shoot, did I speak in french. Sorry. I mean, why are you all awake?"

"Oh. Well we all couldn't fall asleep so we've just been chatting really."

"About..?"

"Well anything really." Wild piped up.

"Intresting, anyways. You said that was french? it sounds intresting. German also sounds intresting Four." Legend turned to look at Four and Warriors. "Wild, you know any languages?"

Wild nodded. "We call it Russian."

Legend nodded. "Can you say something for us?"

"Привет, меня зовут Уайлд." Wild said, sitting straight up and nodding. "I just said, 'hello, my name is Wild.'"

"Wow!" Legend's mouth curled upwards.

"You know any languages Legend?"

"Yeah! I think 20, because theres hylian, then lourian..." Legend's voice continued as he listed more and more languages.

Wild smiled at his friends around the fire, thankful to spend this moment with them.

Warriors standing in the background menacingly;

The yiga: *Starts sweating* WHO EVEN ARE YOU GUYS?!?

sky, kindly: now, why don't you tell us why you're here, hmm? i'm sure we can come to an arrangement.

time, darkly, hand on his sword: we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. no points for guessing which one you'll enjoy more.

hyrule, clearly out of his depth but trying to look tough: yeah... tell us why you want to, uh, kill wild!

the yiga footsoldier, tied to a chair, very confused: ...

"Will you remember me?" Sun whispered as she looked down at the surface.

"Who will help you if I'm not around?" Dot smiled, holding a flower crown between her hands.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you." Lullaby sighed, staring at the wall.

"I wish I could have done more." Dusk paced, looking out the window as she passed it.

"I'm sorry you had to lose so much." Fable sighed, fiddling with a bracelet on her arm.

"Can you continue?" Artemis wondered, worry clear in her expression.

"You can make it?" Dawn asked.

"Will you be okay?" Aurora worried.

"Can we do this?" Tetra frowned, staring at the new land before her.

"Will we win?" Flora watched the islands slowly rise.

Will we be okay? They wondered.

I'm certain we will be. You say in confidence.

I'm sorry. They reply.

things will get better You reply.

We can't keep looking back.

The Tales of the Hero of Wind.

I got a bunch of lu (wind) prompts here, so I'm just going to throw a bunch of words on this and lets see how this turns out!

"And so, they were finally free to wander the world in peace." Wild finished, waving his hands as he sat by the fire.

Four let out a sound between a whimper and a cry quietly.

Wind smiled. "Thats a nice story, but let me tell you one even better. You see, there's there was this phantom ship, one which held numerous treasures within. Tetra and I, along with the crew, started to board the ship and steal all of it's treasures..." Wind enthusiastically explained, painting the scene with hand gestures.

Time stared at the small hero as he spoke with so much thrill, causing Wild to be leaning forward in his seat.

Legend leaned over to Warriors, watching as Wind captured the rest of the heroes in his story. He whispered "How much do you think this is real..?"

Warriors took a second, before blinking at Legend. "What? I'm sorry, Wind is telling a really good story."

Legend blinked, turning to stare at Wind. How much of his stories are true...?

Wind coughed, a ragged dry cough. His throat felt dry as a desert.

He shivered, glancing over at the rest of the heroes as Wild stirred the cooking pot, probably making soup for him.

Suddenly, a heavy weight fell on this shoulders and he glanced up, seeing blue in the corner of his eyes. He looked at the strange item wrapped around him. It was Warrior's scarf. He glanced at Warriors, blinking at how odd it was seeing him without his scarf.

"Wha-?"

Warriors shrugged. Then waved it off. "Keep it, I can get it back once you're feeling better. I've always seen it as a good luck charm, maybe it can bring good luck to you by curing your sickness." He strolled off towards Four at the far side of camp.

Wind shivered, burying his face into the warm, comfortable scarf.

I'm so taking this once I get better. Its so nice and soft...

A battle raged around him, and Wind ducked and slashed at monsters. He sliced the bokoblin he was fighting, black blood spilling across the ground. His gaze snapped up and searched for his compantions, friends, and family. He saw Wild, shooting arrows at top speed, Hyrule, causing.. Was that lightning? to strike every so often. Sky and Warriors were fighting back to back. Time and Twilight surged against the horde. Legend and Four were no where to be seen.

"LEGEND! FOUR!!" Wind called out, desperately searching for them in the horde.

Legend head popped up, swimming through the crowd. Wind sighed a breath of relief at seeing him, but his heart clenched in fear with no sight of Four.

Wind ducked as a Moblin clawed at where his head was mere moments before. He searched the area, keeping an eye out for the shortest hero and his very colorful outfit.

As he dodged the moblin, he noticed a darknut closing in on a very familiar multicolored tunic.

Four! His mind thought and he frantically shoved past monsters. Rushing to go save his brother. He neared and shoved his sword through the darknut's stomache, slicing its armor and itself in half. It crumbled to dust as he rushed over to where Four lay.

"Four?! Four!" Wind shook Four, his mind panicking when Four didn't respond.

Wind did a quick check, noticing a wound on the smithy's head. Knocked unconscious? I always forget that the Smithy is more prone to head injuries. Wind sighed in relief as he felt the constant pulse of his brother.

He stood stance over Four's prone body, ready to defend him until his final dying breath.

"Hey Wind, did you know in my Hyrule, that you can stop time and go into another dimension that shouldn't exist? I call it the 'title screen'." Twilight told Wind. Wind gasped, staring at Twilight in awe. "Thats so cool! Can I see it?"

It all started out when Wild made a joke about being able to fly by using explosives. Wind had believed him. They were trying to push it and see what limits existed.

As far as they know, there is none.

"Hey Wind, I once had to fight the moon." Time piped up.

Wind blinked at Time. "Really? Amazing!!!"

Four blinked at Time. "If you fought the moon, and destroyed it, wouldn't that have destroyed your world? I mean.. Tides, and gravity..."

"Shhhh Four. No one knows the concept of science ye-... Wait... How do you..." Wild stared at Four, his eyes wide.

Four just snickered and didn't respond.

"Whose Hyrule is this?" Time asked, and the 7 other heroes all made noises of disagreement, signaling that this wasn't any of their Hyrules.

"I hate water." Legend muttered as he stared at the open abyss of water.

"I saw we explore the land. Maybe we can find more mainland that way?" Wild suggested, pointing in the opposite direction of the sea.

"No, will not work. I think we're on an island." Sky called from where he landed in a tree.

"Who are you?!" A voice called out and a small, blonde haired child came running out of the forest. Waving a sword and sheild, they also had a bow on their back.

"Hey, little one. We're lost. Do you have any directions or a boat we could use? Also, if you have any information, is there a hero in the land?" Time asked, his shoulders relaxing realizing that the child was no threat.

"Why are you looking for me?!" The child exclaimed, holding the sword defensively.

"That's the hero?" Legend muttered to Hyrule. Hyrule just shrugged.

"You are Link?" Time questioned.

The small child hero paused a quick moment before nodding.

Four strolled right up to them. "Finally! Someone my size! Hi! Okay, this is going to sound odd, but we're the past heroes. I'm Four, the armored one is Time, Wild is the one hanging upside down from the tree, Sky is the one on the tree, Warriors is the one with the blue scarf who is arm wrestling Twilight, and that's Hyrule and Legend." Four said, pointing to each one.

"Well uhh.. You can call me A-I mean Wind?" The new hero said, stuttering slightly as he stared at Time in awe.

(He? They? Four couldn't tell.)

"I assume thats your hero titles right?" The little hero, newly dubbed Wind, asked.

Time nodded. Wind gasped in awe.

"You're the hero of time?! That's amazing! So cool!!" Wind cheered.

"Ahh, so another hero after Time." Legend scratched his neck.

Twilight snickered at the young hero's enthusasim.

***

Three swaps and Four could say that the new hero was off.

They had no idea how or what was wrong, but something was just off about Wind. As they landed in Wind's time again, they were stuck on an island out in the middle of no where.

"This is my Hyrule!" The young hero cried, their hazel eyes gleamed as they surveyed the water.

"Ugh, I hate water." Legend groaned next to Four.

A boat sailed far in the distance, ever slowly coming closer.

Wind smiled, waving his hands excitedly as the boat neared.

A tanned head with curly blonde locks stuck out over the side and peered at them, her eyes narrowing seeing Wind. They vanished quickly.

What was that about? Four wondered.

As the boat stopped, a young tanned girl from before (the one who peered at them), hopped down and pointed a sword at Wind.

"Who are you imposter." They said in a serious tone, and the rest of the chain reacted, their hands instinctively going towards their swords.

"Imposter?" Legend asked, facing Wind curiously. "What does that mean Wind?"

"Uhm." Wind was clearly panicking, his eyes glancing back and forth between the chain and the girl.

Another person landed slid down and walked up next to the girl, he was very familiar, as he looked exactly like Wind. "Uhm, Tetra, what is going on?"

"This is an imposter Link!" Tetra cried, her sword creeping closer to Wind.

"I'm sorry, I think we got on the wrong foot. You said your name is Link from this timeline? Then is there two heroes?" Time asked, clearing his throat. "We are the past heroes, and we've been traveling with Wind over here."

"Wind... wait ARYLL?!" Link cried, moving forward and putting his hand on Tetra's sword lowering it.

"I didn't want to lose you again big brother... I'm sorry." Wind, Aryll? said, frowning at the sand.

The real hero of Wind hugged Aryll.

"Could someone explain what is going on..?" Hyrule asked, scratching his neck.
