Summary
They say the heat makes people crazy. Deep in an economic depression, the simmering civil unrest reaches a fever pitch on Summertide in Castleton when the Yiga cause a citywide blackout. When Link offers to accompany Zelda to check on her ailing father, he quickly finds he has more to worry about than the dark when rioters flood the streets and a killer takes advantage of the chaos to make a final sacrifice to the Old Gods.
Zelda gapes at the blackness beyond the window of Romani's. Suddenly it feels like she’s floating in some dark cloud, not high above a city that should be filled with the glow of lights and neon. Five minutes pass, then ten, then fifteen, but no sign of the lights coming back on. The quiet murmur begins to pick up to a light chatter and then to animated talking in the restaurant.
The first was Revali on Summertide. The next was Urbosa on Autumntide. Then on Wintertide was Daruk. Mipha was last on Springtide. Rusl wonders who might be so unlucky to face Calamity tonight. The fierce look in Mipha's little brother's eyes and the way they demanded that somebody DO SOMETHING haunt Rusl even in the waking hours.

Summary
Dark thought it was over, all of it, until it wasn't. He was getting better at relying on himself and respecting his body, yet now he knew he could only get through the worst of everything because of Link. Without Link, he was nothing but a shadow—with him, they worked together, darkness and light, balanced and cyclical, like each moon phase, one after the other.

Summary
Link learns about his past, his childhood, his heritage. Somehow nobody knows why Link is the only Hylian (no explanation for real?) with the Triforce clearly visible on the back of his hand (come on, Nintendo) living in a treehouse in a small village at the edge of the kingdom. And nobody knows about his family either. OoT Link shares a similar fate, but at least we know his mom took him in care of the Kokiri before she (most likely) passed away. I know, the TP manga has its own plot about this, but I like to share my own fiction, too :D Also some Link/Ilia hints. Or more like obvious stuff. Take it or leave it. I you don't like (or even hate) their „relationship“ (because of her bossy attitude) you should skip that fanfiction.

Summary
The events leading up to the destruction of the Gerudo are a mystery, even to the history books. All they know is that the curse finally took hold of Ganondorf and he destroyed everything. So why is Link having dreams about a city he’s never seen, of a place that couldn’t possibly exist? Rusl thinks it’s a blessing, but Link wonders if it’s actually a curse. The more he travels across Hyrule, the clearer the picture becomes, but there comes a point where he has to decide what to do with that information. He can pretend as much as he’d like, but one way or another, history always has a way of repeating itself.
OR, the Ganonlink mummy au no one asked for.
