Little Link by FlamingPotatoArson

Summary
Link has survived a one hundred year coma, fought monsters four times his size, solved puzzles designed to kill him, shot a giant pig with a glowing bow, and figured out his relationship with Zelda after the mess that their previous one has been one hundred years ago.
But he's not going to survive being the new "baby" of a group of past reincarnations of himself if someone doesn't start taking him seriously.
(AKA: Wild gets hit with magic while teleporting, and in another world, the boys get warped through a corrupted tunnel. This causes their paths to intersect earlier than intended by Hylia as she scrambles to keep them from exploding during the switch, and some strange..."side effects" occur. Mainly, Wild being shrunk down into a body that is 110 years younger than his original, and no one believing him that he is 117 as he drags them across Hyrule to Hateno. Twilight also refuses to explain anything.)

Wild Meetings Ahead? Yeah, They Sure Hope There Are by BleuSarcelle
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
22 May 2023
Tags
Summary
“We’re gonna die in this Hyrule!” Wind whines, falling to his knees. “The Heroes of Courage! Defeated for lack of civilization and in the middle of fucking nowhere!”
“Come on, where’s your sense of adventure, Sailor?” The captain asks, reaching out to ruffle Wind’s hair and looking unfazed when his hand is slapped away by the grumpy teen.
“Back where I left the last fucks I had to give: at the bottom of the river we were spat out days ago.” Wind replies, ignoring Sky’s exasperated ‘Wind’ along with Time’s own warning glare.
“Same,” Legend says dryly from the side.
Wind jumps at the validation. “See!!”
(Or the one where the chain ends up in a new Hyrule and, while they're yet to find the last Link to their chain, they keep meeting up with a hylian named Champ in the oddest ways. All of them except for Twilight. Spoilder alert: all of them need to learn how to ask the right questions.)

In Which Wild Avoids Meeting the Gang by CuteButAlsoStabby
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
23 Nov 2021
Tags
Summary
"From what I saw, it looked like a teenager – maybe sixteen or seventeen? Blonde hair, blue tunic. Had a sword and a bow. I tried to approach, but uhh… long story short, bad timing on my part, he saw something weird and I think I might have spooked him. He pulled out his bow before I could even blink. I think it was a warning shot? Hard to say. I tried to calm him down, tried to talk with him, and that’s about the time he threw the bananas and ran off."
Basically a "gang meets Wild" fic where Wild is a skittish, traumatised, low self-esteem loner who is very stealthy, very fast, not particularly honest and also capable of teleporting. Shenanigans ensue. Features a mix of humour, fluff, hurt/comfort, angst and action, with some of that tasty found family stuff. Things work out eventually, but expect emotional and physical owies along the way. Major themes are in the tags, with some additional CWs listed in the chapter notes - see Chapter 1 for a consolidated list.
Characters and basic premise are from the Legend of Zelda series and the Linked Universe AU, plus some common headcanons from AO3. Not LU canon-compliant. Please DO NOT repost any of my fics.

Eight Legendary Heroes vs. Two Gremlins & the Entire Gerudo Population by AimeeLouWrites
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)
13 Aug 2025

Summary
Princess Zelda of Hyrule has two best friends: Link, her personal Knight, and Riju, the Chief of the Gerudo. After a Sheikah research mishap turns Link and Zelda into children and strands them in the Gerudo desert, they encounter a band of disguised Yiga. When they escape, Riju teams up with them to create a plan to deal with these strange Yiga and their undoubtedly sinister intentions. And what is that plan?
Shameless trolling until they finally break character, of course!
For their part, the Chain is just confused and concerned. It's not every day you arrive in a new Hyrule to find a very small Hero and Princess blowing up monsters with high-yield explosives, after all.

Summary
“Oh,” Zelda said, delighted. “You’re so small.”
“I’m normal-sized,” the rabbit in her lap said. His nose twitched. It was pink. He was pink. And so tiny. He barely weighed a thing. She was fascinated. “You’re all too big.”
“How are your vocal chords doing that?” she asked.
Legend and Flora conspire together to win a game of hide-and-seek.

Summary
Wild didn’t even want to think about what he must have looked like when he wandered into Kakariko. At the time, he hadn’t understood why Dorian had initially refused to let him up the stairs to Impa’s house. It was a miracle they had eventually let him talk to Impa in the state he had been in.
Since then, he’d learned. Partly from his memories and partly from the kindness of others, he had learned why it was important to keep himself presentable, to brush his hair, and keep it clean, even if he refused to braid it.
He knew many disapproved of him wearing it unbraided. They thought he had done nothing to strip him of that right.
It didn’t matter what they thought. It was his hair. It was his choice. -

Summary
Caught off-guard in an unfamiliar Hyrule, the Chain soon finds themselves at the center of one big misunderstanding. Now down a member and thrown in prison to boot, the group must use the limited resources they have to get their items back and stage a jailbreak. It sounds easy enough, but as they learn more about the prison and the people within it, they are left with more questions than answers. As things start to spiral around them, its up to the remaining members of the group to figure out just what is going on before it's too late.

Summary
Something about Wind—that he tries not to think about very often—is that his hands aren’t very… gentle.
They used to be. For his little sister when he would brush her hair and sing to her before bed, or for his grandma when he would help her with dinner, kneading fluffy dough and swiping at bites of veggies before she could add them into whatever soup she was making that night.
Now, they’ve been torn down and built up so many times that he can barely see past the scar tissue. Hard work and rope burns and a sword through the head of the worst enemy Hyrule has ever known have forced his hands to adapt.

Wind doesn’t have the Hero’s Spirit. This changes everything, and nothing at all.
(Or, three times Legend doesn’t ask about the scars on Wind’s hands, and one time he does.)

Summary
When nine heroes were brought together on an adventure, they'd thought that that was all that they were; nine heroes, nine brothers, nine Links, all called to save the world together, as a team.
When evidence starts to indicate that one of them is more than that though, each hero takes it upon himself to defend his new knowledge and the brother that it concerns, unbeknownst to the rest. After all, princes aren't taken well to in Hyrule, and trust each other though they might with their own lives, they're not yet ready to trust each other with someone else's, especially when that person is Hylia's own blood. -

Summary
Four tries, "Does it count if it's only like twenty-five percent of me?"
"YES!" Twilight shouts exasperatedly, finally reaching his limit and throwing his hands to the heavens, "The normal amount of wanting to kill yourself is ZERO!"
That cannot possibly be true.
[or: The Chain is varying states of mentally well. Somehow, dog boy has them all beat.]
[or: Or: the chain is low-key suicidal. wolfie has opinions about it. he is going to sit on them.]

A Genderqueer Icon Helps his fellow Genderqueers Come Out by GCM_Fandoms
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
09 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Wild always noticed.
He noticed Time's subtle interest in more feminine things.
He noticed when Legend would get extra moody, or when Legend would subtly remove his binder before he fell asleep so nobody noticed.
He noticed when Hyrule would longingly look at pretty things, but would admittedly deny it when he was caught. Or how they seemed to enjoy they/them pronouns just as much as he/him.
He noticed how Might would always flinch whenever someone referred to them as 'he', only ever seeming to feel comfortable when someone referred to them as 'they'.
He noticed how Four would sometimes be lost in thought as he looked at his body, as if he was confused why he didn't fully feel comfortable in it.
He noticed because that had been him. He noticed because he understood what it was like to feel afraid of being misgendered or afraid of coming out because he was worried he'd be seen as different. But Wild made it his mission to help his new comrades come out and no longer be misgendered!
OR
Wild helps the genderqueers and crossdressers of the Chain come out with all his transgender and crossdresser icon glory shortly after they begin the quest.
(Might is Link from EoW)

Summary
Sky never cried. Never yelled. Never snapped. He was calm, polite—eerily steady. The others thought he was just emotionally controlled. But Sky wasn’t like them. He was the first. From a time before evolution trimmed instincts and stilled the body. His ears still moved with every feeling—twitching, perking, drooping—and no one noticed. Not until one night, when his ears sagged low and silent, and the Chain finally realized: he hadn’t been hiding his emotions. They just hadn’t known how to read them.
Or: Sky's ears are severely outdated in the Chains opinion.

Summary
Legend wasn't actively hiding his pedigree from the other heroes... but he was avoiding telling them that he was a prince as long as he could. Of course, he knew it wouldn't stay secret forever, but he would put it off to avoid the eventual betrayal from the knights in the group.
Finally, that not-quite-hidden secret came to light when Legend took the other heroes to Hyrule Castle. At least the reveal itself had been amusing, it's aftermath? Not so much.

Tragicomic Disaster Fam AU of the LU by CuteButAlsoStabby
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
04 Aug 2025
Summary
Sequential series based on the characters and core premise of the Linked Universe LoZ AU, but ignoring 99% of the actual plot of the comic. Featuring: a found family where everyone is queer and neurodivergent and no one has their shit together.
If you're unfamiliar with the original AU, basically a bunch of different Links from the Legend of Zelda games all go on an adventure together. Core cast is as follows, with the relevant games in brackets and rough ages (my version, and subject to change) after the hyphen:
- Time (OoT/MM) - physically around 34, mentally ??
- Twilight (TP) - 25
- Wild (BotW) - 117, give or take 100 years.
- Warriors (HW) - 28
- Sky (SS) - 21
- Four (MC, FS, FSA) - 23
- Wind (WW, PH) - physically 12-13, mentally 14
- Hyrule (LoZ, AoL) - 16
- Legend (LttP, OoA, OoS, LA, TH, ALBW) - 19The core focus is platonic relationships, but the following romantic relationships are also included/referenced:
- Time/Malon
- Twilight/Shad
- Legend/Ravio
- Sky/Zelda/GrooseI recommend reading the series in order, starting with In Which Wild Avoids Meeting the Gang.

Cultural Differences by Kastaborous
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)
31 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
“What happened? To your world?”
Wild pursed his lips, staring into the distance as some memory the others couldn’t see played out in front of him. “Yakusai,” he eventually said in a hushed tone. “It is death. Many…” Wild paused, brows furrowed as he parsed through the sentence. “Many killed. No victory. Yet… we live.”
...
The Chain has expanded their ranks by one member, and Link has a new name: Wild. But even with Wild on his way to learning the language of the other Heroes, he still has a long way to go, and their new ability to communicate opens the doors for a host of other problems. Ten thousand years is a long time, and what is “normal” changes.
Or, the Chain discover the differences in culture (and place) between them. Includes miscommunication and language exploration, sentient rocks, potion-making, memorials, old legends and much more.

Kitchen Nightmares (and accidental summonings) by The_bookgremiln
Fandoms: Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)
10 Sep 2025

Summary
Hyrule couldn't cook.
This was both a well-known fact and a warning, a lesson that the chain had learned the hard way.
So when Hyrule said he had found a recipe he wanted to try, Legend thought his reaction was reasonable.
"Rulie, politely as possible" the veteran pleaded, attempting to dissuade the traveller from commandeering the kitchen, "Fuck no. You can't cook!"
____________________________________Hyrule manages to get himself cooking duties.
Chaos ensues. -

Summary
So here’s the dealio.
Once upon a time a group of time travelling weirdos gave 10 year olds Link and Zelda a shadow crystal thingy so that Shadow’s future Heroic Sacrifice™ might be a little less… sacrificial.
And it was great! For like, more than a decade they all got to grow up together all alive and happy! But things fall apart as they do, and Link died, and some time loop scheme Shadow honestly wasn’t paying that much attention to (he tried, okay?) has been enacted.
Now Shadow’s joined the time travelling weirdos, and one of them is a Link who’s years younger than his who never managed to save his Shadow.
Things are messy. Things are stressy.
But they have a time loop to close to save Shadow and maybe to save Link, and whatever.
He’ll wing it.
What could go wrong?
