Summary
“Pity your previous sword couldn’t bear the full might of such power…” Ghirahim sighed, only to grip Sky’s arms with sudden fervor. “But I can, Link. I will grant you more strength than you could ever dream of, and you—you can give me a purpose.”
The thought was appalling. It was blasphemy. It was absurd. Did Ghirahim honestly think he would agree to it? “Never,” he snapped. He would never entertain even the thought of allying himself with such a malicious creature.
For just a blink, Ghirahim’s soft smile faltered, only to be plastered back on.
“It’s only fair, skychild,” he said pleasantly. “You killed my master.” His voice hardened. “I am now your right.”
——————
Or: Sky is ecstatic to be back home, but that is quickly ruined by the reappearance of a Demon Lord long thought dead. The chaos of fighting black-blooded monsters and chasing the shadow is only made worse by a desperate Ghirahim who will do anything it takes to make Sky give him a purpose.

Summary
The Wing Ceremony is in an hour, and Link still hasn’t woken up.
Zelda doesn’t really know why she expected otherwise– Link rarely wakes up on time, no matter how important something is, and, despite this being something that could decide his future, he wouldn’t likely break that habit.
It falls to her again to wake him, then.
A choose your own adventure style retelling of the opening of Skyward Sword, the Wing Ceremony, from Zelda's point of view.

Summary
The absence of the familiar comfort is deeply felt, but it's hard to find a safe place to do it on the road. By himself, he could clear out a burrow somewhere and ward the doors, but he can't just wander off on his own anymore. For all that being with the Chain affords him a level of safety he's never experienced before, it also means hiding things.
A lot of things.
(or: Touch-starved, touch-averse Hyrule finds a suitable compromise. Too bad he can't tell anyone about it.)
(or: Or: 2 times Hyrule enjoys (platonically) being tied up, 1 time he really, really doesn't, 1 time he sort of remembers how to, and 1 time he talks about it)

Linked AU One-Shots by SparklingWonderQueen
Fandoms: Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)
08 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
This is a collection of one-shots for Linked Universe. (LU is a Zelda AU comic where Links across time and space band together.) Most of these are sprints from the LU discord, where you are given a prompt and you need to completed it in a small time frame. As such, many of these are not edited and are messy, but I figured that I would share them anyway.

Summary
“It’s over,” Zelda breathed, echoing the first words she had spoken after Demise was defeated. She said it like a prayer.
Link’s eyes found the Master Sword. She rested atop his desk, the decorated scabbard almost glowing in the meager moonlight seeping through the window. For a moment, he could’ve sworn that the hilt pulsed with familiar light, but there was no sound, and there was no companion.
Zelda tightened the embrace. “It’s all over.”
Link didn’t respond.
——————
Or: After defeating Demise and hearing Fi’s final farewell, Link doesn’t lay the Master Sword to rest. He keeps her with him. This has unforeseen consequences.A darkness lingers.

Cia’s War of Ages has far-reaching consequences for residents of Skyloft as they face invasion from a distant time. But when the battle comes, where are Link and Zelda of Skyloft? (Pre-LU, but strongly hinted, especially Warriors. The Captain might force his way into making an appearance.)

Summary
It is well known that Link defeated Demise, but not so much the side affects that entails.
Demise was a being that existed before Hylia herself, a being with power enough to force her into desperate measures.
To defeat Demise is alike defeating a god;
And no Hylian could ever dream to defeat a God.
(AKA, Sky becomes OP-Eldritch but literally nobody realizes this)

Summary
"Not yet. We can’t go home just yet. Just a few more minutes.”
Crimson complained with a rising call that almost sounded like a question. Sky soothed her with a quiet hum and passed a hand down her feathered neck.
“Just a few more minutes, please.”
Sky escapes from it all with a brief flight on Crimson's back. He comes back from it determined to act.

Summary
They say that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. This is a lesson many Hylians try to take to heart for they've seen it happen time and time again. In an act of remembrance they tell their children of the creation of their land. Sharing the legend as a bedtime story or campfire tale. This is that legend.

Wings of the Wild by Sleepyyyyboi

Summary
The unthinkable happened. The Calamity won, and darkness reigned over the land.
Hyrule is shattered, chunks of land ascending into the sky, luckily missing any settlements.
The Sheikah barely have a chance to activate the Shrine of Resurrection before it too ascends.
High up in the clouds above, the long forgotten Loftwings sense new islands ascending into the sky.
Only this time, there's a flickering light of a soul deep inside one of the islands, sealed by something they can't recognise. It makes them curious, so they reach out and feel something unknown connect.
That is, until a new soul emerges from a place full of unknown technology, a blank slate they latch onto.
The Hylians had no way of knowing the old stories of the Loftwing soul bonds were actually true.
Or: Upheaval and Calamity basically happen as the same event. Hylia sends her hero into the skies to keep them safe once more. The Loftwings that remain up above decide Link is their favorite Hylian of all time. They latch onto him immediately, and now Link has a ton of bird friends.

Yes/No/Pumpkin Soup by ImprobableScience

Summary
Zelda and Link are supposed to go flying after classes are done for the week, but she wakes up sick.
Someone on tumblr pointed out that sometimes Link’s Skyward Sword dialog options are like “yes/no/random rude or intrusive thought he just had” so I thought it would be funny to write some dialog choices in a simple story inspired by the way the scenes change tone but move on no matter what you pick in this game.

Summary
Time froze. What felt like a million tiny needles crawled up his spine as his instincts took over. He was in danger. But where? Skyloft was the most peaceful town he’s ever been so why did he feel like he was being hunted? Slowly turning to peek over his shoulder in attempt to asses the situation turned out to be a fatal mistake. With a whistle and a strong force of wind, Time was grabbed by a large talon around his back and hoisted into the air.
Or: Sky’s loftwing has a vendetta and Time just wants to go home.
