Sky sleepily: What are you guys doing..?
Warriors, Legend, Hyrule and Time look up from where they were holding a sock up like a sacrifice: …
"Will you remember me?" Sun whispered as she looked down at the surface.
"Who will help you if I'm not around?" Dot smiled, holding a flower crown between her hands.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you." Lullaby sighed, staring at the wall.
"I wish I could have done more." Dusk paced, looking out the window as she passed it.
"I'm sorry you had to lose so much." Fable sighed, fiddling with a bracelet on her arm.
"Can you continue?" Artemis wondered, worry clear in her expression.
"You can make it?" Dawn asked.
"Will you be okay?" Aurora worried.
"Can we do this?" Tetra frowned, staring at the new land before her.
"Will we win?" Flora watched the islands slowly rise.
Will we be okay? They wondered.
I'm certain we will be. You say in confidence.
I'm sorry. They reply.
things will get better You reply.
We can't keep looking back.

"Hello, thank you for calling Hero Send, what's your emergency?" A cool, pleasant, female voice asked through the call.
"THERE'S A GIANT PIG MONSTER CHASING ME AND-" A sharpened blade sliced where he was just earlier. The beast becoming human faster and faster. "ACK- HELP!!"
"Understood. Are you within our covered network of Hyrule?" The soothing voice asked smoothly. As if they had all the time in the world.
"YES! YES! I'M IN HYRULE FIELD! PLEASE SEND HELP!!! OH GODDESS, HE'S GOT A HORSE!!" He yelped as the once-pig beast now got on a skeletal mount and galloped towards him.
"Horseback, Hyrule field..." The woman's voice droned as sounds of very loud typing was resigered through the call. "All other heroes are currently asisting other customers. The closest is the Hero of Wilds. Would that suffice?" The woman inquired
"YES!" He shouted quickly.
"He's been informed and coming out there immediately."
"THANK YOU!!" He could only pratically cry tears of joy as the sounds battle as the Hero of Wilds came and made quick work of the beast.
"Hey Lullaby, how's the work been? Any new customers?" Malon asked, sticking her head into the room where Lullaby and several other Zeldas sat at several computers.
"Yes. A new call from Hytopia. I had sent Legend the on the case, since he has had work there before.
Malon nodded. "What about you Sun? Anything new with the different operations?"
Sun shook her head. "So far, nothing too bad has happened. What about you? How's been the new recruits?"
Malon smiled. "Doing quite well in fact. I was just talking with Tetra earlier about them. Sidon is particually excited. Miphia also told us many wonderful things about him."
Flora chuckled over to Malon's left.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Dusk you take it." Lullaby sighed, resting her head on her hands.
"Okay then."
"Hello, thank you for calling Hero Send, what's your emergency?" A female's voice asked.
"Hi, yes. Well there is this giant dinosaur with a turtle shell that breathes fire and is causing mass destruction." He spoke in his high pitched voice. "I was just tryin' to have a nice camping trip."
"Are you in our covered network of Hyrule?" The voice asked, more strained than before. Of course, he didn't notice.
"No, unfortunately not. But I will get the prenium package if I must. I am in the Mushroom Kingdom."
"I'm afraid that is a beyond our network systems. If you are looking for help in the Mushroom Kingdom, I hear the Mario and Luigi plumbing and saving service is special for that kingdom. I'm am very sorry for the inconvenience. I wish you luck and I truly hope you do not die."
A click sounded and Fable sighed, groaning in misery.
"Another call from the Mushroom Kingdom?" Dot asked, looking up from her computer, pity glinting in her eyes.
"That's the fourth time this week. I swear if I hear again about this giant, fire-breathing dino with a turtle shell I'm going to lose it." Fable groaned.
Dot gently patted her shoulder in apology.
(Captain Toad was upset. Mario and Luigi's plumbing and saving has the worst service. Plus! They aren't even free half the time. Also the Hero Send is so much more reliable. He growled in defeat, shaking his head sadly as Bowser roared in the background.)
Tetra sighed as she walked the hallways of the Hero's Send building. I don't understand why I can't take calls! She grumpily sat down on a bench and ate her sandwich.
"Hey its okay!" Aurora smiled as she sat next to Tetra, scooping bits of pasta into her mouth.
"I don't understand why I can't take calls!" Tetra exclaimed, waving her hands in the air.
"Maybe because the last couple of calls resulted in argueing matches? Also you broke our last phone, after getting a call from the mushroom kingdom again, by throwing it at a wall." Aurora blinked, wiping her mouth.
"Oh yeah.."
"Besides, you work much better as a captain and the boss of people. You're just a natural leader."
Hyrule sighed, after just healing an injured elder after a big attack, he wiped his forehead. Removing the sweat. Suddenly, he got a ding and stared at his comumicator.
Needed at Hebra mountain, please don't get lost!
Hyrule frowned, staring at the message.
"Is it just me, or has there been more attacks recently?" He asked Four, who had just helped him save a village.
Four nodded. "Yeah, and these monsters are not at all natural. Having this black blood and everything. I have an odd feeling that something's not right..."
"Yeah... Hey, which direction is Hebra Mountain? I forgot my map again."
"AGAIN?!"
"Hello and thank you for choosing Hero Send. Unfortunately our team is busy and unable to take your call. Your call is important to us. Please hold."
"THERE'S A GIANT OCTOROCK THAT'S DESTROYING MY BARN! NO I WILL NOT HOLD!"
Time groaned, his back aching.
"What old man. You having back troubles?" Warriors asked teasingly, swiping his sword through moblins that swarmed them.
"Well yes, I am old. But also I had to come the the Guerdo right after a call from Hyrule town."
"Ooh, that's rough."
"Oh its Mr Hero and Mr Pirate Hero!" Ravio exclaimed excitedly, clapping his hands together.
"Yes, hi Ravio. You called for help..?"
"Oh yes! Over there!"
"Ravio, where- uhm. Ravio... Do you know what kind of monster that is?"
"Oh my goddess! Legend!"
Ravio secretly cackled as the two heroes stared at the worst monster of all. A cucco. (Also Ravio never really needed help, he always loves when Mr Hero comes around though.)
Twilight's ears pinned back as the strange man approached. He growled as the young girl clutched his neck fearfully.
"Hey now, I ain't goin' to do nothin' with her." He said, his accently clearly fake.
Twilight narrowed his eyes and ran, with the child protectively on his back.
"Look! Doggie!" The child cried, rushing towards the wolf with odd patterns on him.
"Yes, doggie." Wild cackled quietly, watching Twilight glare at him totally worth it.
"Doggie!" the children cried, their tear soaked faces grinning with joy.
"Now this is Wolfie. Here let me show you something he really likes..." Wild explained.
(Twilight supposes it wasn't the worst. But he sure is going to make sure that the Zelda's hear his mind. He never signed up to be a wolfy companion. Then again, he supposes its not that bad. Seeing the children laugh again after a fire.)
"Welcome to the Hero Send. If you need any help, please see our recipetent. Otherwise, you may check out some of our finest items over in the 'Heroes Hoard', named after the one and only Hero of Legends." Mipha smiled as A goron walked past, lumbering over to the Heroes Hoard.
"Hey, where can I get the special lawn mowing service?"
"You can talk to Urbosa about that if you want. However, we are not responsible for pottery destruction." Mipha said with a complete straight face.
"Thank you!"
Oh for the love of the Goddess...
She stared at the ad of Hero Send. Her eyes flickered throughout the text.
"Are you in danger of death? Maybe you lost something important to you? Call 4166-hyaa to get the service of a Hero! They will be there instantly and you won't have to worry about a thing! Prenium packages and the off days include very unique and special heroes to help out with YOUR needs."

She smiled knowing they were in good hands
The Hero Send. Its scoffed, its red eyes rolling at the name. They think by summoning those pesky heroes, that I will just what? Stop and lay down dead? Hylians so reliant on their devices nowdays. It would be a shame if everyone were to suddenly lose power.. It smiled wickedly, sharp, crooked, jagged teeth gleaming in the moonlight. It fiddled around with a wire before snapping it into two, forcefully cutting out the power quickly.
When the heroes do come, I will send them to an early grave.
The Hero Send, Adventure of the Special Heroes
Legend and Fable are siblings, and they talk shit about people together.
this is probably my dumbest one yet
The chain has picked up on Legend occasionally mentioning a fiancé. He gets flustered every time. It’s one of the only real ways to catch him off guard. Since it’s a Link trait to be nosey, everyone is WAY up in Legend’s business. Each time they mention it though, Legend just blushes and waves them off.
The chain meets Fable at some point and she’s cunning, sarcastic, and funny. She seems like a very good match for Legend and… She goes doe eyed around him. She can’t take her eyes off him and she seems to hold onto his every word. Sky can recognize her affection for her hero from a mile away. He’s so happy to see that he’s not the only one in love with a Zelda. Twilight hangs over his shoulder, also understanding the love between a princess and her hero. So they slide up to her and asks if she and Legend are engaged. Her reaction is a little shocking. Her eyes go dark, her posture rigged. Her good mood is ruined. No. She’s not his fiancée but she wanted to be and tried. There’s so much she could offer him. They could be so happy. But no. To both men’s horror she has angry tears in her eyes. “I hate his stupid partner. It’s just.. AUGH.” She stomps away to sulk.
When the chain meets Ravio it all clicks. The man practically hangs off of Legend, linking their arms, hip bumping him as he passes. For Hylia’s sake they’re ROOMMATES. Time and Wars share a knowing look. During the war Ravio was always mentioning a special someone after all. So Time and Wars slide up to Ravio, teasing grins and all. They ask him if Legend was his bunny. They ask if the two are engaged. Ravio gets a wistful look on his face. It’s a bit sad and a little confused. Ravio tells them all about how he had asked Legend if he wanted to be more than roommates, not necessarily engaged, but partners. Legend apparently turned him down with lots of grace explaining he was already taken. Ravio had thought that maybe Legend was put off by them being mirror counterparts of each other, that could get pretty weird to be honest… but… it couldn’t be more weird than what Legend had!! Who he was engaged to! Ravio goes to the cellar to find the hard cider they make TOGETHER from their apples from the orchard.
Wind and Four are hanging out an a beach when a seagull joins them. Between Wind’s affinity for ghosts and Four’s Minish magic, they can understand her squawking. She asks about Legend, she’s very worried about his wellbeing. She relieved when they tell her he’s doing well. They piece together that this is the lovely Marin Legend has spoken of on more melancholic nights. She must be… ah it all makes sense. Fable’s frustration, Ravio’s hurt. Legend must’ve been engaged to his dream girl. The girl who he had to leave behind. The girl that still keeps vigil over him even when he doesn’t know she’s there. He must be unable to let go… So they ask her if she’s Legend’s betrothed. Somehow, for a bird, she puts on a stank face. Her feathers ruffle, she smooths them down with her beak. Ahem… no she’s not. She looks annoyed for a bird. Even while Legend was sleeping and she was there as his literal dream girl, Legend didn’t even go so far to kiss her. He just had such a strong feeling that somebody else was waiting for him… When she started a new life, that of the sky and sea, flying as a bird, she went to see who this person who was so special to him was and… she huffs and flies off, leaving a plume of feathers behind.
The chain ends up in Labrynna and there they meet Ralph who is ecstatic to see Legend. He also wears just as many if not more rings than Legend himself does. Wild and Hyrule exchange a look. Could it be possible that one of those rings might be a wedding ring? So Hyrule and Wild ask, probably too directly but Ralph… He sighs, shakes his head. When Legend came this way it seemed everyone had wanted chance to go on a date with the hero. Ralph wasn’t excluded from that group… but by the time he asked Legend to do something sometime, maybe something a little romantic, Legend kindly shot him down and told him of his engagement. Ralph was like ??? we are 15. (At the time of oracle of ages) Ralph gets a strange look on his face. He tells the chain that Legend’s betrothed is HERE. In Labrynna.
so of course they beg to meet this person. Everyone has so many questions. Legend has so many people that want him, who are so into him. How does this person surpass all of them? Legend, blushing like a maiden, agrees to introduce them. He leads them through the forest.
and this is her.
when he introduces the chain to a tree they think he’s lying. Not just a normal tree, but a talking one. A talking tree that’s annoying. She’s so offended when they don’t believe Legend. She demands her fiancé, omg is this real??, make them apologize. The chain doesn’t know what to do. Legend hugs her bark and she giggles. Hyrule breaks away from the chain. He looks concerned. “Legend. You were 15 when she proposed. How old was she?”
pandemonium breaks out when he mentions she must have been somewhere over 400 years old. He tries to claim that she’s like their age in tree years but it doesn’t really work.
idk if they stay together after this but I couldn’t get this stupid idea out of my head 😭 I hope somebody enjoys this!
Thank you to everyone who Voted! Poor Legend 😭 his story starts with his birth (and some world building)
In this AU, Hyrule is a LARGE empire around the size of North America. In it are several ruling families that serve the Empress. Legend’s father is the second most high ranking royal, the king of western Hyrule. He rules over the largest part of land that doesn’t belong to the Empress.
I don’t think the king in ALTTP has a canon name so in this I’ll call him King West for simplicity.
King West and his wife, Queen West, have Fable. Unfortunately for Queen West, she struggles a lot with postpartum depression and spends some time recovering. This time is incredibly stressful for King West, who finds himself as the soul leader of western Hyrule, so he decides to blow off some steam and has an affair with a maid.
Obviously this is Legend’s mother. She gives birth to him 10 months after Fable was born, (they’re Irish twins!), and passes away due to complications during it.
At this point a lot of the palace staff are really pissed off that this happened. Being left with the King’s bastard, they decide to bring Legend to the ENTIRE castle’s attention. This news reaches the king just a little after it reaches the Queen.
She’s FURIOUS. He had a stressful year??? She thought she was going to DIE.
Advisors suggest surrendering the boy to an orphanage where he can grow up anonymously, but the gossip of the king’s bastard son has already traveled far enough that the other kingdoms of Hyrule know it. They cannot renounce royal blood. Hylia flows through the child’s veins.
The Queen demands that the child will not be raised in her castle. She cannot bear to watch the king’s “mistake” wander her halls. The king decides to send the child to be raised by his brother, Legend’s uncle, who is a small lord at the kingdom’s border.
The king and Queen cannot divorce, but the Queen ends up spending most of her time traveling the empire on diplomatic missions. Fable is mostly raised by her father.
(Years later the Queen regrets her decision in casting Legend out. Legend does not. He’s actually grateful to have been raised away from court.)
Despite the amount of mess surrounding his birth, Legend is raised to be a very happy boy under his uncle’s care. He grows up in a small fort surrounded by apple trees and friends. His uncle never wed nor had children, so he gets all the attention he needs. He rides horses, learns some magic, and how to farm over the years.
Right before his 12th birthday, a witch called Agahnim sends western Hyrule into chaos. Legend’s Uncle is summoned to the castle to provide extra defense. Despite warning Legend to stay home, he sneaks after him.
His uncle is too late, the castle is already taken over. Legend finds his uncle bleeding out. His uncle tells him that he needs to find his sister and get to safety before he dies in Legend’s arms.
Now he’s all alone. He finds Fable terrified and together they escape. Together they decide that they must take down Agahnim before he claims the rest of their kingdom.
Fable can turn into a sword (I’m still trying to think of what type but a rapier is really burning into my brain). Wielding his sister, they go through a long and hard journey, eventually killing Agahnim and restoring “peace and balance” to their kingdom.
And Legend feels AWFUL. His father joyfully has him stay back at the kingdom. He’s a hero now. The Queen wouldn’t keep a hero from living in the castle, would she?
He hates it. He starts taking etiquette classes and begins to learn how to be a proper prince. To make matters worse, Fable doesn’t even stay in Western Hyrule for most of the time. She’s usually in the northwest studying with her meister, Princess Dot.
He’s lonely and scared. When Agahnim attacked, he sent a curse over the land to cause all the knights to hunt him down. Now as he walks the castle halls he has to look at the people who wanted to hurt him only a few months ago. He also can’t stop having nightmares about his uncle. He misses him terribly.
Thankfully, this degree of hurt and loneliness doesn’t last too long. He keeps catching glimpses of a short kid who doesn’t look like he’s from here darting about the castle. One day they run into each other and he finally meets Hyrule.
Hyrule and Legend click instantly. Upon finding out that Hyrule is a weapon, specifically a magic weapon, they both become greatly excited to practice spells together. Legend and Hyrule both are very happy about this because neither of them have been able to practice their magic since moving into the castle. Eventually they get caught and this is a great concern. Hyrule is a lot of things: Sweet, cunning, powerful, Legend’s new best friend, and the son of the witch that corrupted all of southern Hyrule/political prisoner.
King West tries to tell Legend that he and Hyrule can no longer see each other. That Hyrule is potentially- No is. Very dangerous. Legend throws his first tantrum. Queen West who is back for diplomatic affairs has been eaten away by her guilt of casting the young prince away for years. She gives Legend permission to become Hyrule’s full time meister.
King West does not want to deal with this so he sends the two away to a boarding school that will properly train them.
When Legend turns 16, he’s sent by his father on a solo quest to Labrynna and Holodrum which are part of the neighboring empire to Hyrule. There he does good deeds, the oracle games, in order to maintain good relations between them and Hyrule. On the way back he gets into an awful boat wreck, Link’s Awakening, barely making it home.
Freshly traumatized, all he wants to see is his best friend. Unfortunately, while he was gone, Hyrule was sent back to southern Hyrule where he completed his own quest, Adventure of Link basically.
Despite completing his quest, Hyrule hasn’t returned, having gone missing, so Legend sets out to look for him.
Southern Hyrule is a combination of Hyrule’s games and Lorule. I’ll get more into when I retcon and write Hyrule’s part.
Legend meets Ravio and strengthens ties between Southern Hyrule and Western Hyrule. Southern Hyrule has been oppressed by the rest of the empire for a long time. After it was taken over and cursed by a witch, Rule’s mom, 70ish years ago, it’s basically been under martial law/abandoned by the rest of the empire. It has multiple rulers and it is fraying apart. With Fable, Legend is able to secure future ties between the two kingdoms.
Finally he finds Hyrule, also freshly traumatized by his mission, and takes him home, not to the castle, but to his uncle's old fort which he finds under possession of Ravio.
A few years of growing pass before they’re asked to join a new mission.
And that’s Legend! I’m sorry if the world building is choppy, I’m still working on it! Please please please lmk what you all think! Lmk who you’d like to see next and any thoughts or headcanons you have!!
