Summary
A mixture of one-shots and connected chapters following the childhood life and times of a Link and Zelda born in a time of peaceful prosperity and swiftly developing Sheikah technologies. In this story, Link is a blacksmith-in-training and a magical engineering prodigy, while Zelda is a shining jewel of the kingdom with a lot of struggles behind the scenes. Impa is Tired™, but doing her best. Divinely-ordained adventure is still many years away for this particular Link, but that isn't to say his life is uneventful before then! For one thing, making friends is hard if you're a weird kid who talks and dresses funny, and for another, you don't need to be an active Hero for the Yiga Clan to think you're worth kidnapping...
(Reading other works in this series is NOT a pre-requisite. Though this is technically a prequel, this is also a stand-alone!)

Summary
Link, Zelda and Laya are three close friends, each occupied with their own duties and problems. While Zelda tries her hardest to awaken her sealing power, with Link ever by her side, Laya is being researched for her magical, elemental powers. No one, including Laya herself, knows why she has these powers, nor does she know where she came from; she just arrived at the castle one day, knowing nothing besides her name.
Eventually, Laya's researchers discover something about her which could endanger everyone in the kingdom, and she is forced to take cover in Hyrule Forest.
Shortly after this, Ganon breaks free.
While Link and Zelda fight on the battlefield, Laya awaits her fate in the forest, but when Zelda arrives and informs her that she and Link may be gone for years, the distress causes Laya's powers to explode, and she falls into a deep slumber.
Link and Laya wake up after a hundred years—deprived of all their memories—and coincidentally meet again, unaware of their shared past. When they discover they woke up at the same time, they decide to journey together, aiming to rescue the princess and figure out their lives in the process.
But they find much more than they bargained for.

Summary
The War Between Eras lasted three years. Our hero Link vanquished the darkness, but not without consequences. Portals opened randomly around Hyrule. Our Hero of Courage Link is being sent on a mission to control one of these portals in the Gerudo Desert. Instead of enemies coming out of the portal, eight people claim to be heroes of courage from different timelines. They didn't have to explain it to him; he knew of the legends. But why do they insist on him coming? He's not important.

Summary
Il était une fois un héros. Pas celui qui tira de son socle la future lame purificatrice. Pas ceux qui suivirent, les inconnus qui coururent sauver le monde pour en éviter sa fin. Pas même les derniers, ceux qui achevaient le travail de leurs aînés. Non, il était une fois un héros, le premier.
Le premier héros était une femme.

Summary
Link was jostled awake by the feeling of something grasping his bicep. He was on his feet, sword in hand, before the fog of sleep could clear from his eyes.
“Woah there blondie!”
It took him a second to register the Hylian voice, but after a moment he lowered his sword (not all the way. Yiga were Hylians too, after all).
After a few long blinks the world came into focus. The person previously holding his arm was now standing a few feet away, hands held up in a placating gesture. The crisp light of a very early morning washed over the woman and the various gawking stable goers.
"Right, I'll get out of your hair then"

AKA everyone loves Link and Link is a clueless idiot about it

Summary
~~~~~~
The day was warm, the sun was out, and the birds were singing. It was supposed to be a simple day. Go for a walk, do some chores, fight some monsters; the norm when you're the son of the hero living on a peaceful farm. The day was looking perfect, a perfectly normal day on a normal farm living with normal people.
Yeah…he shouldn’t have said anything. Famous last words and all.

Summary
Aube was honestly just trying to live her life as a simple kargarok wrangler/Sol maintenance worker in her little village in the Twilight Realm when all the little oddities of her life caught up to her at once - So what if she was the village weirdo, with how she was always seeing someone else in the mirror, how she never quite looked like the other Twili? She could still contribute to the village! But... when she loses her shadow magic in one painful night, suddenly everything changes. She can't keep pretending to be a normal Twili anymore.
On the other side of a broken Mirror, Link of Ordon Village struggles to reconcile simple village life as an ordinary Hylian and the incessant drive to run free in the wolf form he thought he gave up for good. And... he maybe makes a reckless decision, somehow accessing forbidden magic in order to be a wolf again. But... it leaves him forever changed, and his lies crumble under him one after the other.
