Masterlist
Part one will include Wild, Sky and Legend
Content under the cut!
Wild
The giggles were contagious. You found yourself on the verge of laughing hysterically next to the small child.
Somehow Wild got hit from a wizzrobe to be no older than five years old and yet he's as if he hasn't changed. Stranger yet, you've gathered that he either must have been displaced in time or he was the only one to time travel. His scars are gone as well so it's not as if he was shrunk.
"Ooh! An apple!" He sprints towards the tree, running up the truck and latching onto the first branch he can reach. He then swings his body up and over it before he shimmies over to pluck the apple for the branch above.
"He's just as bad." Four laughs to himself.
"And yet he claims that he was the perfect soldier." Twilight frowns, standing under the branch to catch the kid in case he fell.
"I'm ok!" He calls down to the rancher. "You don't have to catch me! Papa lets me do this all the time."
You snort with your hands on your hips. "He must have had a lot of training."
"Or pressure." Warrior mutters.
That dampens your mood a bit. He makes a point.
You were having soo much fun just messing with the kid that you didn't stop to think about what his attitude actually meant. Was his carefree spirit beaten out of him? You hope not literally.
You hear him hit the ground and he runs straight to you, b-lining around Twilight to avoid him. You laugh at the Rancher. You didn't think he would take it to heart but he looks as if the kid just offended his entire legacy.
"Here!" Wild cheers, holding out a bright red apple in your direction. "You didn't eat breakfast. So you should eat too."
You flush and take the apple. "Thank you."
"You didn't eat?" Sky raises an eyebrow.
The little boy nods. "I saw them. They pretended they weren't hungry so they didn't have to eat the food."
You flinch. It was Hyrule's turn to cook. You had hoped to have gone unnoticed. Tou stand mistaken.
"Well... thank you, Link." You bite your lip, holding the apple up higher. "I was feeling a bit peckish."
He giggles and takes a bite out the apple he got for himself. "Aryll likes apples too. So I get to climb our tree to get them for her."
The group all relatively freeze. Wind especially.
"Aryll?" You try to keep the conversation going so that he doesn't catch on. "Do you take care of her?"
He nods, his face full of pride. "She's my baby sister! I have to take care of her, just like Papa says!"
"I bet you do a good job at that." You swallow your spit.
Does this mean he's unlocked memories too? You don't really want to think about it. Looking at the poor boy is starting to make you feel emotional. He doesn't deserve what he gets.
You take a bite of the apple.
It's bitter.
Sky
You stared and stared and stared.
Boyish laughs fill the camp as the others are also just at an lost to do. The only ones with any chance of corralling this kid are Wind and Twilight.
The group was down a member but also added the new challenge of dealing with said down member.
"Hello." The little boy stops running right in front of you, holding out a single pale purple flower. "This is for you."
You blink and take it gently. He can't be much older than six or seven years old. Much younger than any other in the group. Younger than the average age they all took up the mantle of hero. Young enough to have to idea who he is or what he will become.
"Thank you, Link." You say just as softly, placing the flower behind your ear. A few others squirm at the mention of their name. But you have no other choice to use it. The young boy wouldn't respond to Sky and he would have no inclination to abide by the unspoken rules they've set up.
He smiles back and hugs his arm close to his body. He's a shy boy but kind and just as gentle as he grows to be. He's innocent and curious but doesn't ask questions. He's incredibly trusting.
Your jaw flexes at the thought, but you won't let it change your facial expression. Sky seems to be waiting for something. You tilt your head down, meeting his eyes. "What is it, Link?"
He bites his lip. "....Would you....like to play with me? ...Please?"
You would never tell Sky that he has the most adorable puppy eyes in the history of existence. You never stood a chance. "Sure thing, Buddy. What do you want to play?"
He beams. "Hide and seek!"
"Maybe not." Twilight winces. You wince as well, especially when you see how Sky suddenly seems chest fallen. You're in the middle of no where and he has no way of coming back to you if he gets lost. Twilight explains it as such. "There's just not a lot places to hide, buck-o. So if you get lost, we'd have no idea how to find you again."
Sky pouts and looks upset enough to cry.
"We can draw." You blurt, wanting to save the moment.
"Really?" Sky perks up and looks around. "...But there's no paper."
You turn around and pick up a stick, snapping it in half and giving him the bigger half. "We'll draw in the dirt!"
Sky looks at the stick and pokes the ground with it. "...I used to do this with Zelda when we were bored. I don't think they have sticks at the Academy though."
"Yeah?" You plop yourself onto the ground, patting the spot next to you. "Tell me about it."
He smiles and sits down next to you, poking and dragging he stick through the dirt. "My loftwing is big and pretty but I'm too little to ride him yet. That's what Gaepora says."
You shoo away prying eyes and nosy ears.
Wind grabs his own sticks and you. "What's a lofting?"
Sky freezes. He's looks so lost. "You don't know what a loftwing is? Don't you have them on your island?"
Wind shakes his head.
Sky frowns and looks around. "I thought Skyloft was the biggest island and everyone knows what loftwings are."
He stands, looking towards the horizon. "But this is also a pretty big island."
You flinch. You didn't even consider that he wouldn't remember that he's on the surface.
Who's going to tell him?
Legend
"Where's my uncle?" The little boy asks. Once the smoke had cleared and the monsters were defeated, you had to take a look at the damage. This little boy stood where Legend once did. It seems that his clothes were changed with him, at least. Otherwise you don't know what you all would have been able to keep him from swimming in fabric.
You bite your lip and share looks with the rest of the group. The little boy looked scared and lost. He kept wringing his little hat between his hand as he looked for someone to answer him.
You gulped and got on your knees to meet his eyes. "What does he look like? Maybe we can try and find him together?"
You know where his uncle is. It was something had told you under the comfort of night, something he didn't really tell any of the others. But you can't look into his little teary eyes and tell him the truth and you certainly can't do it in front of everyone else.
"He's tall and strong." The boy looks more comforted now he gathered that you were going to help him. "He lost his hair but it grows on his chin instead."
"Bald with a beard. Can you tell me his name?" You smile and say your name. "What's your name?"
"I call him Uncle." He tilts his head. That's a no. "He calls me Link."
"Well Link, it's very nice to meet you." You're giving yourself extra brownie points for holding yourself together. "How old are you, Link?"
He frowns and lifts up once of his hand, sticking up four little fingers.
"Oh wow! You're already four years old." You try to keep things light. "Your uncle must trust you a lot since you're so big."
He smiles and giggles, covering his mouth with a small fist. "I get to help Uncle take care of the house. Sometimes he lets me help with dinner."
You smile back, trying to not let the image pull at your heart strings. Less you start crying on the spot. "I guess he'll need his little helper then. Come on, we'll all help you look for your uncle, ok?"
"Ok."
You stand up and stick your hand out. "Don't get lost now. Come on. We'll start looking."
Little Legend takes your hand and you look to others, finally, for assistance. You receive none. Only a few poorly hidden thumbs up from the others members.
"Traveler." You whine. "Tell me we can fix this."
He stares before nodding slightly. "Let me think of something."
You can only nod. This might take a while to fix.
Legend tugs on your hand, bringing your attention back to him. "Is uncle really faraway?"
"Uhh..." Your brain stalls before you figure the answer can't be so bad. "More like, we're really far away...From everyone. But we'll get back to find some people and then maybe we can find your uncle."
"You hear that Traveler?" Four says. "You have until we reach the next town."
You ignore the groaning. Legend looks so happy. "Good! He'll be worried about me!"
You tear up. "Let's fix this then, buddy."
