Wild accidentally touches Twilight's Shadow Crystal and turns into a pegasus. That's it. That's the fic.

Summary
Wild didn’t even want to think about what he must have looked like when he wandered into Kakariko. At the time, he hadn’t understood why Dorian had initially refused to let him up the stairs to Impa’s house. It was a miracle they had eventually let him talk to Impa in the state he had been in.
Since then, he’d learned. Partly from his memories and partly from the kindness of others, he had learned why it was important to keep himself presentable, to brush his hair, and keep it clean, even if he refused to braid it.
He knew many disapproved of him wearing it unbraided. They thought he had done nothing to strip him of that right.
It didn’t matter what they thought. It was his hair. It was his choice. -

Summary
The hero was dead.
He knew that.
Stupid boy, stop playing hero. You’re just going to get yourself killed.
Link had heard those words countless times across Hyrule. Ever since he’d woken up in that strange stone tomb, voices in his head foreign and begging, ghosts giving him directives, memories long gone poking at the edge of his mind. The hero was dead. He died a hundred years ago.
He failed.
---
Wild travels across Hyrule, an unknown and unnamed rogue dispatching monsters in the night. He has no friends, no family, and everyone thinks he’s long dead.Series

Untouchable Things by Bitterlikesweets

Summary
Link shouldn't allow this. Shouldn't indulge himself when he knows that Sidon is far, far from his reach. He shouldn't allow this because the avatar might only be doing this because Link wants it to, and how will he ever explain something like that to Sidon? He shouldn't be doing this because Sidon might find out somehow, because the king might already know, because this might taint their precious friendship.
He shouldn't because a taste of intimacy like this is only going to make Link want the real thing even more.
Or
Sidon's avatar starts behaving strangely, teasing Link with affectionate touches and gestures that the real Sidon would never allow; a torment so sweet, Link simultaneously wants it to end and never stop. At the same time, Sidon is plagued with strange dreams of his dearest friend. Dreams where he can't hold back desires he didn't even know he had.

Summary
Maybe he was reckless (okay, he was definitely reckless), but Wild was not an idiot. He was well-aware that he was not normal, and not only because of the Hero’s Spirit or the excessive scars or the whole dying-and-resurrecting-a-century-later business. Even among his companions, who had all dealt with their own unbelievable adventures, Wild was an anomaly.
He was uncivilized.

running with the wolves by alternatemind

Summary
Wind knew animals that lived in groups. Dolphin pods, schools of fish, flocks of seagulls—they all helped out one another, sought out food and shelter, relied on one another and formed close bonds that were as strong as Hylian friendships. A lone pack animal was a sad pack animal, just Hylians who lived alone tended to be more lonely and withdrawn. Sure, some people and animals enjoyed solitary, but he thought of how Wolfie gathered around them, and how he’d been watching the wolf pack before Wind showed up.
He couldn’t help but wonder—was Wolfie lonely?

Summary
“If I do manage to figure this technology out, we’ll need these to be beacons. But… don’t hold your breath. This stuff is years ahead of tech like my slate.”
--
The portals are tech. After the final battle, the Chain goes their separate ways. Fortunately, Wild and Flora are very smart and manage to unravel some of the tech. Hypothetical ending where everyone is as happy as possible! (Not all of them go home unscathed. Some have lasting injuries. This is sad and angsty for about three chapters but otherwise pure fluff.)- Language:

The Only Shadow That the Desert Knows by Hypno_Cat

Summary
He should ask her.
He should open his mouth and ask her if she’d woven something into the fabric that would make him feel like a ray of sunlight has singled his heart out-
But when he opens his mouth, his words tangle up in the back of his throat, and all he can do is fumblingly bring his hand to his chin, before smacking its back to the palm of his other hand. 'Thank you,' he signs, and Saula gives a warm, big, laugh. The Gerudo weren’t completely familiar with Hylian sign language when he’d first arrived - but it seems his time in the town has led to a few of the more used signs becoming recognizable.
“Of course,” she says. “Every Vai deserves to feel beautiful!”
Or: Link spends time in Gerudo town, and grapples with liking being seen as a Vai a little too much.

Summary
So.
I know, that's a lot of tags.
...And a lot of words.
I apologize.
I know I'm also technically supposed to be working on my main fic. WHICH I AM. I was just, y'know, beating up my comfort characters (as one does) and was like: but what if they HUGGED? And then I started seeing fanart of the various Links with these really adorable children and I kind of got really emotional and I probably need more human contact but instead we have THIS and it's BEAUTIFUL.
So actual summary:
It was a lot of work; founding a kingdom. Link was finding that out the hard way. But it was worth it; seeing his people free to live on this vast Surface with its endless wonders. And in the generations to come, they would only continue to prosper, making new allies across races.
But despite all that kept him busy, Link missed his brothers. There was a sore spot in him: a perpetual bruise. It hurt every time he prodded at it. He just had to keep swallowing it down; there was nothing he could do about it. Time was closed for a reason, no matter how much it hurt.
So why-
So why was there a temporal portal in his kitchen?

Summary
“Why are we still here?” one of the travelers complained later that day. “It’s been almost two weeks. Usually we’d be gone by now.”
“We haven’t accomplished our goal here,” the one with the scarf - Warriors - said with a shrug.
Wind sighed, leaning back against a tree. “What is our goal?”
Legend snorted at the question. “It’s obvious, isn’t it? We’re here to find Link.”
The others all paused, processing that, and Link froze from where he was peeking out of the scarf.
“... That… makes sense,” Four said after a moment.
“I suppose that is fairly obvious,” Sky sighed. “But surely we’d have run into him by now?”
Pressing his back against a higher fold of scarf so he wasn’t visible anymore, Link took quick, panicked breaths, keeping as quiet as possible. They were looking for him.
Or: What if Hyrule was the last one to join the Chain, and what if he wasn't in the shape of a Hylian when he did it? And what if there were a lot of tears and some hugs at the very end?
