#multiple links

So in a lot of Fanmedia where multiple Links are put together. I noticed that the Link in Twilight Princess and the Link from Breath in the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom always seem to have a connection. I haven't played any of the games only watched so I was wondering why this was?

Monsters I want Shen Yuan/Qingre to have as familiars!! For how this is going to work, Shen Yuan is going to have a set limit on how many familiars he can take out and about based on the strength of his cultivation and the size/power of the monsters themselves. The reason for this is bc at some point his kinship stone broke which shattered the empathetic bond between him and his familiars, but he can rebuild it with a maximum of 3 monsters at once. He doesn't need the empathy bond on Wu Nian peak bc he has more time to understand what his familiars are trying to communicate, but outside the peak its more necessary for quick communication during battle.

For my own sake there will be three sizes of monsters: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class monsters. 3rd class monsters are monsters that cannot be ridden, 2nd class monsters are monsters that one to three people can ride, and 1st class monster can be ridden by 4+ people.

My understanding of "riding" implies that the monster is not impeded by being ridden. Thus the entirety of the Wingdrakes are 3rd class monsters, and Shen Yuan can have three empathetically tied to him at once, and Paolumu and Tobi-Kadachi are 2nd class monsters so Shen Yuan can have two empathetically tied simultaneously, whereas Najarala or Beotodus are 1st class monsters so Shen Yuan can only have one empathetically tied to him.

I don't have a story for my "a bunch of links meet up after their main adventures" designs like lm, lv, lu, and others, but I have thought about Time and Traveler (1&2 Link, I don't remember what I actually named him and I'm too sleepy to look it up) talking a lot. They come from very different periods of time, but they've become friends. Traveler's fairy spell also brings Time comfort on bad days.

Does anyone know any fics where Link meets another version of Link? As in Wind Waker Link meets Skyward Sword Link not just Ocarina of Time Link meeting himself through Time Travel Shenanigans(tm)
