Summary
When Time’s elite pack raids a Yiga hideout, they're ready for combat, magic, even Majora’s twisted mind games—but not for the traumatized omega left behind. Malnourished, defensive, and heartbreakingly unable to offer any name other than his dynamic—"Omega"—he earns the nickname "Wild" for his wary, feral demeanor.
Wild remembers little beyond captivity. His past is fragmented and uncertain, but slowly he's beginning to trust the pack’s steady promises of safety. Just as he starts to accept it might be real, the pack discovers exactly who they've rescued: Link, Twilight's childhood friend who he hasn't been able to find for nearly ten years.
Now Wild is caught in the crossfire of political tensions, a monarchy teetering on the brink, and an ancient magical threat quietly rising beneath Hyrule. Wild never asked to be anyone’s symbol, weapon, or pawn—but both enemies and allies are determined to use him. Finding safety was difficult enough; believing he deserves it might be even harder.

Summary
“I’m in a time loop,” Link calmly and quietly starts. Not calmly Twilight realizes, Link’s mind recoils at the mere mention of it. However, some part of him is so innately exhausted that it’s numb at the concept. “Upon either my own death or Gannon's I return in time. Over time the curse has strengthened, making the time loops more and more unhinged. The circumstances of my awakening are different every time, but are rarely fortunate. No one’s been able to so much as notice the curse, but I think it’s safe to say it’s evolved to carry a very potent curse of misfortune. There’s more to the curse, but it’s powerful and inconsistent enough it’s hard to pin down with a simple name.”
“A time loop? Like the Hero of Time?” Twilight asks, stunned. It explains Link’s vague words earlier and the aged sense to his mind. It must be far more than just taxing on the mind. No wonder he was so distraught earlier. He’s been -
Twilight projects as much serenity and support he can before he asks, “How long have you been in it?”
Link looks to the side, pained but also achingly shamed. “Long time.”

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
It took him what felt like a decade to collect himself. He was a Hero of Courage, and strangely enough he was still here, in this plane of existence. He had enough experience dealing with spirits to know that if he had died and turned into a ghost, it meant that he hadn't moved on. It meant he still had things to do.
With that new resolve invigorating him, he decided to open his eyes once more and analyze the situation. It couldn't be that bad, right?
OK, no. It was bad, it was so bad.
OR: Wind dies, but not really, at least not entirely. He's still around as a ghost, after all. Fortunately for him, Wolfie finds him. Unfortunately for Wolfie, he finds Wind.

Summary
En busca de un nuevo peligro que amenazaba con asaltar el Hyrule de Time, la cadena se adentró en las profundidades del Bosque Perdido guiados por su líder, quien abría el camino a través de la oscuridad. Sin embargo, lo que no se esperaron es que a veces el peligro podía estar más cerca de lo que pensaban. Podía estar en el árbol más cercano, en la flor solitaria que yacía a sus pies, en la brizna de hierba que se veía ligeramente sospechosa.
Quién sabe, incluso quizá (solo quizá) podía estar en la forma de sus propios pasos. En el aire que les rozaba la cara. En la oscuridad de sus propias sombras.
No sabían si estaba justo de pie delante suyo. O vigilándolos mientras dormían. O hablándoles usando palabras que de alguna manera se sentían en la voz incorrecta.
Era difícil de creer que incluso podía estar mirándolos fijamente con la mirada que solía ser azul.

Summary
A direct continuation of 'Recovering'
Twilight groggily opened his eyes the next morning. He definitely did not get enough sleep last night to be doing this. With him dozing off at the Hero Shade’s grave and getting caught by Time. Not to mention the struggle of even going to sleep once he got back into the room.
Twilight grimaced, he could barely see light coming in from the windows, of course he woke up during the twilight hour. He couldn’t go back to sleep either. If he did he definitely wouldn’t be able to wake up in time to leave.
