Prompt: Somehow, Legend (LBW Link) acquires the Fierce Deity mask. How? Was it handed down, found, earned? Fun addition: What is Ravio’s response to finding it when he takes over Link’s house?

Happy Mask Salesman Vendor of magic power Fierce Deity Mask

Prompt: BOTW!Link and HW!Link get trapped somewhere and have no choice but to wait for rescue. How do they spend the time?

Prompt: Wild sets off a trap and Legend gets him out of it

The others had told Wild that the Divine Beasts didn't count as real dungeons. He didn't agree, until he stepped on a greases pit trap, then he had to admit that maybe his experience didn't translate. Warriors had tried to play the hero, almost succeeded too, until he tipped over the edge and into the hole.

"Yelling's so passe," Warrior grins.

"They say if you work hard you'll get better pay," Warriors warbles, off-key. Wild joins in, somehow recognizing the tune. "We've heard all that before"

The first child born on the surface after Skyward Sword never bonds with a Loftwing.

First born to the ground Brought to the goddesses feet The loftwings ignore

Prompt: Shadow messes up with the differents parts of FSA!Link during their journey. Shape-shifting, stealth and backfiring may be involved but not contractual.

Red's heart is ablaze Shadow packs a gift: fire rod His form, a small boy.

Blue is similar But he could stand to cool down Shadow's now a crone

Prompt: Kass sees BotW Link early in his journey and freaks out: what do you mean this is the hero, he’s so young? Kass decides to help Link

Fledgling hero Link With no master to guide him A bard steps forward

Prompt: Tears of the Kingdom Zelda is returned to Hylian form early, timed around the events of another game in the series (can be right before or in middle) and observes/interferes/interacts with the events of that game.

Zelda wakes up falling from the sky. She reels, emotionally and physically, and flails for nonexistent purchase as ground, or rather endless ocean, rises to meet her. She forces her lungs to resist the pressure of the wind, and takes a breath right before she hits the surface.

The impact brings nerve-shattering pain, but her instincts propel her upwards towards the light.

Prompt: Legends of the previous Hero are always popular. Write about any of the Chain being secret fanboys of the their predecessor (ex: Four to Sky, Wind to Time)

Wind was a pirate He found freedom on the sea  Spirit could relate

Trains are the new boats  The proud engineer explained  Water becomes steam 

Flying down the rail I followed in your footsteps Endless adventure 

Prompt: Link sees ghosts of his family in Hateno.

There is no music But the ghosts dance anyways Mother and father

Prompt: Someone else gets ahold of Twilight's shadow crystal. Shenanigans ensue

Shiny, temptation  Twilight should have hidden it  Wind’s deft fingers itch 

Magic radiates  This is not a deterrent  For a pickpocket 

Shadow climbs Wind’s arm  Mistakes have long since been made Pain twists and mangles

New feathers and wings  Wind reduced to his true form  Majestic seagull 

He shrieks, full of glee The rancher wakes in horror  Wind stretches his wings 

The new bird wobbles  He lifts! But is soon brought low Crashing into sand 

Twilight acts quickly Scooping up the reeling bird  “We need sky for this” 

The knight yet still sleeps  Despite the sailors chaos He’s slowly roused

Understanding fast He draws the cursebreaking sword  Restoring dear Wind
