Ghost Wind AU
These heroes can be real idiots sometimes, Wind thinks dully as he watches yet another poorly concocted plan pan out exactly as terribly as he had foretold it would. This one even involves explosives for that added spice of death.
“For Hylia’s sake,” he says out loud as Sky throws his sailcloth over Hyrule’s hair which is literally on fire.
“Well done everyone,” Time praises once all flames are successfully smothered. They look a mess, the lot of them. Hyrule’s hair is missing chunks and still smoking a little bit, Wild is sporting both a wide grin and a broken arm and Legend is noticeably limping as he joins the rest of the group where they’re congregated.
“I would say that was a pretty successful ambush. We managed to take out all the enemies—”
“And half the mountain,” Wind adds.
“—we may have to work on bringing down casualties on our side, but that’s something we can talk about for next time. Right now, I say we take a well-earned rest. Sky, can you distribute potions to those who need them, please?”

Twilight paused, examining the silence.
He took a breath.
“Who were you?”
After a moment, he shifted back into a wolf, glancing up until his kind, curious blue eyes fell on Wind.
Wind paused.
Who was he, indeed.
It had been so long.
Who were you?
“I was a hero, just like the rest of you. I got the Triforce, defeated Ganondorf, saved Tetra—though I guess you would call her Zelda—and I was brought here along with you guys. My birth name is even Link, too! The only difference is that I—”
He froze, staring down at his hands, emotion choking his nonexistent throat.
It struck him, then. He’d never said it before. Not to anyone who could hear him.
He’d never told anyone how he’d died.
He’d never told anyone anything in two hundred years.
His eyes welled up with invisible liquid and, despite his lack of need for breath, his chest shook.
Some habits never died and some things would always bring tears.
For the first time in one hundred and eighty-five years, Wind sobbed.
Twilight padded forward, attempting to nuzzle Wind, but his snout passed straight through the blue mist that swirled around Wind’s non-corporeal form, Wind falling to the ground and curling up, despite no longer being affected by gravity. He reached out, desperate to run his fingers through Wolfie’s fur, to feel anything, but once again, his hand fell forward without the slightest resistance and he was met with nothing.
That was all he ever felt anymore.
That was all he ever was anymore.
But not anymore, as Wolfie’s round, sad eyes looked into his.
Wind buried his face in his translucent hands as if to hide his tears and heard the telltale sound of wolf becoming Hylian.
He glanced up to see Twilight extend his arms, a soft, warm, sad smile on his face, a clear invitation for a hug. Wind dove forward, the unfamiliar but desperately, achingly familiar posture finally directed at him and he dove into Twilight’s arms, bringing himself to a halt in the center of the embrace and leaning forward, his forehead resting against where he approximated Twilight’s heart to be. Wind could almost feel it beating.
“I can feel you,” Twilight whispered, and Wind froze.
“Like a warm breeze off the lake at night. It’s nice.” He leaned forward, pressing his own arms against his chest, pulling himself into Wind’s space, Wind’s very spirit growing warm and tingly at the love and care directed at him.
Wind closed his eyes and soaked Twilight’s warmth up into the space where his heart would have been.
And Wind cried into Twilight’s arms.

//again @lyrabythelake i love your fic idea so much and i really don’t wanna hijack it too much so lemme know if you want me to stop :0c
Legend and Twilight—and the ghost, Wind, he supposed—spent the rest of the day hiking along together. Legend wouldn’t let Twilight transform again and, from what Twilight had told him, it was a sentiment Wind shared. Legend had too many questions, though, and asked Twilight for as many details as he could. Twilight did his best to recall as much as he could of what Wind had told him, a burst of air pushing his bangs into his face whenever he told something wrong.
But Legend had a question that Twilight was too polite to ask.
