Summary
While already dealing with a faulty Sheikah Slate that’s been using him as a powerhouse since the Sheikah Towers sunk back into the earth, Link has been waking up in a trance-like state in the middle of the night.
A tugging sensation pulls him to the West of Hyrule, prompting him to discover what greater purpose lies beyond his completed heroics. Here, a voice tells him to ‘join them’… but who?
And when he does find them, how is he supposed to easily move with their already established dynamic as the odd man out? How is he supposed to endure such a new change in life?
And here he just wanted to retire peacefully in Hateno Village with Zelda.OR
Wild joins the Chain, then struggles to fit into the dynamic

Summary
"When the hero woke from his long slumber, he had not aged. His body remained one of a child, and his mind was a blank canvas to be painted with the hues of experience.
He had been a mere 11 years old when the calamity had razed Hyrule to the ground. A great force he could never beat."Or, The chain helps Child Wild grieve and move forward.

Summary
Ganon has had millennia to learn to strike when the hero is weakest. When he is unsure. When he is frightened and alone.
This time, Ganon struck 3 days after Link found the Master Sword—at just 12 years old.
The Guardians were corrupted by Malice, the Divine Beasts and their brave Champions fell. So the Age of Burning Fields began while a dead hero lay entombed in the Shrine of Resurrection for a hundred years. Meanwhile, across time, previous Heroes are gathering. Something or someone had called them out of retirement.no part of this work may be used to train AI. None of these characters belong to me.

Summary
The last thing Link remembered: he went to bed an ordinary 6-year-old in his family home in Castle Town.
He woke up a 6-year-old in a world 112 years older than him, where the Calamity had already hit and then recently been defeated... by himself? He didn't know what happened, or how, or why. Luckily, he had eight heroes with weird nicknames on his side, there to help him figure out and fix whatever was going on, one age at a time—and gradually heal his childhood wounds in the process.
Or: my take on the kid!Wild and Wild-meets-the-Chain tropes, with a bit of a twist in that he is mentally a child as well—memories included.

Summary
“ENOUGH!” shouts one of the diplomats. “You are embarrassing your superiors! The Crown Princess will make her decision. Can’t any of you follow Link’s good example?”
At the sound of his name, every one of the travellers’ gazes hone in on him. He feels cold wind down his spine.
“Now do you believe me?” the cloaked man grumps.
“There’s no fucking way,” the one with the rings says.
LU Wild meets pre-Shrine Wild. It's not exactly easy to look yourself in the eyes.

Wild Meets the Chain (after kicking their asses) by wtfmanhahaha

Summary
Time curses every divine being he knows, as Twilight dashes into battle with the newest Hero, and the Hero reciprocates, nothing but a blue blur as the kid slows time, effortlessly landing hits that no regular hylian could dream of. Hell, this guy is landing hits that no mortal could think of, as he backflips once more, rushing towards the rancher, but never getting the chance to beat Twilight up. Sky and Warriors drag the new kid away, and Twilight is held in place by Time, as his firm hand clamps down on Twi’s shoulder. He's breathing heavily, a small stream of blood flowing from his nose.

Summary
"His foot splashed in the puddles of clear water, little droplets falling on light green leaves. Link was in the middle of a forest, with a little bounce in his steps and a smile to his lips.
It was such a warm and radiant thing to look at, all people in Hyrule would told you that Link looked charming with a smile."Or, Wild, after two adventures, didn't want to go on a third one.

Summary
“Time? I’m sorry, oh Gods, we gotta get you outta the snow. Some uh’ the others are tarpin’ up a little alcove we found. Can you move?”
Time considers it for a moment. He wants to say yes, absolutely, everything is fine. He wants to pretend like the numbness creeping through his extremities isn’t worrying at all. The pain flaring up and down his arm and crossing his rib cage like small little jolts of lightning building up in his bones? Nothing to be concerned about.
It would all be delicious little lies, of course, and as tempting as they would taste, he can’t help but feel they’d turn to ash the moment he tried to prove any of it. And then Twilight would give him that look of his. All wide eyes and fear, laced within an unamused glare.
The chain finds themselves in a new Hyrule, only to be caught off guard when their new Link has a few extra extremities.

Summary
"This is hell, we've landed in hell," Legend deadpanned.
Or: Twilight recognizes this Hyrule as soon as they land in the Depths. And... they really can't afford to wait until they stumble across his pup before they figure out what's what, actually.
Still, he was really hoping Hylia had the good grace to leave Wild out of this. Apparently not.

Summary
The Ancient Sheikha were far from stupid. So, when they were digging into the Zonai and found a glowing stone with the capacity to power three divine beasts alone, they naturally sent it to their biggest project. While attempting to figure out how to draw power from it, they accidentally melted it down. Prompting some new ideas, some far for experimental than others. However, they ultimately decided to backtrack and restored the stone to its original form. When the Shrine of Resurrection was completed, the Sheikha added an emergency protocol. Should it ever be the case where the shrine was failing to bring back either Hylia’s hero or her descendant, the shrine would melt down its power source and inject it into them. After all, that amount of power should bring anyone back if it doesn’t kill them, but those chosen by Hylia or related to her should be more than able to handle it without repercussions.
Oh how wrong they were.

Summary
“That kid is going to have us all wrapped around his finger, isn’t he?” Twilight asked, a somewhat exasperated expression on his face despite the warmth in his gaze.
Time smiled softly, glancing over to the newcomer and the traveler, who were still excitedly chirping to each other over the flowers. “Yes, I believe you’re right.”
or, in which wild meets the gang, and immediately learns what being loved feels like

Summary
The Shrine had consequences no one could have guessed. When along come the Chain with their souls bound and reaching for their next… those consequences got all the more complex.
With burning eyes, Sky watches them breathe for a while. Blessedly alive. Every flicker of their eyelids, every twitch of their lips, every rise and fall of their chests is perfectly in time. Twins, yet not. More mirrors, reflecting with little distinction to be found. His.
(He knows them. He loves them. For their own sake, he wishes he didn’t.)

The Domestication of Wild Things by Foxtrotx
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, Linked Universe - Fandom
09 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Dogs were once wolves. Transformed over time by heavy Hylian hands, domestication blunted their fangs and soothed their wild nature. They became docile, and unwilling to speak out. Wild wasn't a dog, but that didn't mean the metaphor affected him any less. After a lifetime of servitude and silence, it was only natural that his sharp edges had been smoothed, his spirit dimmed.
Eight other heroes won't change his life so quick, but they can certainly nudge him in the right direction.
Or, another chain meets Wild fic, but Wild is much less 'wild'.

Summary
Three months after the queen died, a young sheikah was ordered to find the hero in hopes of preempting the prophecy.
“He’s a boy, Impa!” Her eyes bore into her pleadingly, hands up placatingly, and Impa looks away just for her sister to follow. “He’s a little boy who was stolen from his home, he doesn’t belong here. If you could speak to them, make them give him back just until–”
“He’s exactly where he needs to be.” The words taste bitter in her mouth. “He’s been disguised, no one is aware that he’s anything other than a talented, silent child and those in the know will keep it a secret from everyone. He’s perfectly safe.”If she says it enough, maybe she’ll believe it herself. Purah’s hysterical little laugh says the lie is more than apparent.
