Summary
Each of the chain, right before they meet
The characterizations are gonna be Golden Girls style; so waaay less trauma and more happy in general, I am a connoisseur of silly interactions and shenanigans
Not that that really matters, just explaining why they're not all traumatized and also there may be some silly little bits from other ficsSeries

Summary
Expressing exasperation, Time reached over to the accusatory offering and leaned back as he appraised it. Taken from an undisclosed restaurant, it was an advertisement, appointing to a house of horror.
“The Temple of Darkness?” Time quirked an eyebrow, dubiously reading the title clad in blinding red ink.
“It’s uhh…” Time watched in fascination as Warriors racked his brain for answers, in desperate search of upholding a decent-enough explanation that Time would even consider offering permission. It was visibly a great struggle, in which both those and words would vice him. “What do you call a-”
OR
In which they go to a horror house, and it appears that not everyone can handle fear so well.

Summary
“Not at all,” Wind dismissively said as he continued to slowly pour the jar of sugar into his bowl.
“Wind, I’m being serious!”
“As am I.” Wind said as he read the back of the carton of chocolate milk before tearing the top and pouring it in the bowl. Sky felt himself getting sick from the abhorrent sight of what Wind considered “breakfast”.
OR
Sky tries to warn Wind on his unhealthy eating habits. while Wind mistakenly takes it as Sky's hostility in him. However, neither of them are able to listen to their own selves first.

Assembling the Chain by Cloudgirl, Dark_Hero

Summary
Talon came back from a milk delivery at Kakariko village Along with a tale
"Think you'll like this story it's a lot like the ones you enjoy telling"
"That so?"
"The grave keeper saw this purple light that made a weird noise and out of it came this beast"
"What'd the beast look like?"
"It was nighttime and the grave keeper was in his house, didn't get a good look Claimed the beast was terrifying to hear though Sounded huge and left as quick as it came"
That's already his cue but Talon wasn't done talking
"Also some guy was in the graveyard with the beast"
This is really his cue to do something
"What'd he look like?" Thinking of his dream
"Don't know Thou 'parently he had quite the mouth. Say he'd screamed and swore something fierce before running off"
Yup Malon gave a quiet but knowing look He wasn't going to be around for a while Time to dust off his armour and weapons
My take on the Chain's first meeting You know how most first meetings have them go from era to era picking them up Well if you reread the start it's highly implied what happened is that 8 of them came through a portal and ended up in Time's era Where he had to go find and round up

Mask of Many Faces by OtherworldlyWaypoint
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms

Tags
Summary
Post Majora's Mask, Link struggles with the aftereffects of his his adventures (read: trauma) as he searches for something to anchor himself to and peace enough to settle down.
OR
You don’t know how long you were gone.
It was three days, and three days, and three more, on and on and on again because what circle ends? Same days, different details, same faces, different actions, all over again and again and how many was it now? How long has it truly been? You lost count a long time ago.
It doesn’t matter; you made it out, hip heavy with masks and time marching on, and everything is linear. Everyone is alive, there is no more existential danger, no one is hurt or suffering or looping…and the sun is bright with summer.
And you find yourself simply existing.
You’re there but the Lost Forest doesn’t call you kin. You’re there but the Castle is too full of people and noise and…you can’t bear to look Zelda in the eyes too often. You’re there but the road feels hollow as it used to. There’s too many places to be, too many footprints left by a you that doesn’t exist anymore, too many knowns and unknowns that you just simply exist.
Untethered, unanchored, aimless. -
Who Decided That Bringing the Chain to Breath of the Wild Was a Good Idea?! by This_is_my_Burial_Shroud
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms

Summary
"Why were we even brought here." Time said his face in one hand in a very tired tone.
"Can I not get one break Hylia! I've been doing this for long enough let me get sleep and retirement you bitch!" Twilight heard Legend shouting from another part of the cave.
"I have a feeling that that's going to come back and bite him in the ass."
OR
Hylia thought it was a good idea to put all of the Chain in Breath of the Wild. Demise countered that by putting the incarnations of his hatred there as well. What neither of them knew was they where sending the Chain to insanity and the incarnations to certain death. Why? Because Wild is a little shit with memory and morality issues.

Summary
Mid-August.
Not only was it the only time of year in which the sun shined the brightest, but also when everyone was off to themselves. Legend finally saw the light as he was no longer buried under his finals and could finally read his textbooks without blurred vision from his tears. Everything made so much more sense!
The Chain spends their summer on an old-fashioned road trip! Shenanigans ensue :)

Summary
Warriors’ sigh was loud enough that everyone heard it. “We should divide ourselves up and go through before we’re yanked through by force.” He reminded everyone, gesturing toward the rather ominous gateway in the middle of the camp.
Time nodded. “Hyrule, Legend, and Wild, you’re all in a group. Warriors, you take Wind and Sky. Four and Twilight are with me.”
Everyone moved into their respective groups, double checking to make sure they had all of their items. Time looked around once more, making sure everyone was ready, and led Twilight and Four into the swirling darkness.

Summary
As far as Wind can tell, this was not a normal evening. For two reasons.
First off, they finally had the luxury of stopping by an inn. Of course he wanted to complain about how sleeping on the cold, muddy ground twisted his spine beyond recognition, but he still stood straight. He also used up his weekly allowance of 10 lies. In one day.
And secondly, he also witnessed his brothers discover Board Games for the first time.
---
Or in other words: Legend goes to jail. Warriors is an annoying big brother. Wind observes it all.

Summary
Look, Link has had his adventure, and he's glad it's all over. He saved the kingdom and is finally able to relax and just live peacefully in Hateno.
But since he's a Hero of Courage, Hylia said, 'fuck that' and flung him into a new universe.
So now Link just wakes up in a chamber with nothing on but some underwear. The only things in the room are a crate with goddesses know what, the Sheikah Slate, and a skeleton. Of course there's a skeleton.
Turns out it's another Link. Welp guess Link is changing his name.
OR:
Age of Calamity Link is finally done with his journey, (he can finally sleep!) but something happened Breath of the Wild Link died and Hylia had no other choice but to send him to that timeline...
Turns out it worked a bit worse than she could've thought, now there were twelve Links(thirteen if you count the Skeleton) running about and ruining her well organized timeline.
(Also First is Hylia's first hero and Wish is EoW Link)

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. 👉😎👉)

Summary
“What is going on?” Sky croaked desperately, feeling suddenly small and insignificant and wanting to sink into the floor. Why are you looking at me like that?
More silent glances passed between his brothers, laden with unspoken words, and then Time spoke up, his gaze stony. “I think you should be the one telling us that, boy.”
Warriors took a step closer, brows pinching together as he held the Master Sword against his chest.
“Beginning with your name."

Or, Sky discovers strange runes written deep within a cave, accidentally activates them, and instantly makes everyone, past and present, forget who he is -

Summary
The chain has ended up in Legends Hyrule. How bad can that be? So bad because the chain doesn’t know that Legend is technically the prince of Hyrule and his sister is Zelda- well Fable now.

Oh and he is married.

Summary
Warriors isn’t scared of heights, not even a little. Definitely not. He loves Skyloft SO much, actually, he’s not terrified of how close to the edge Sky is running at ALL
