This took me 100000 years if I ever get the motivation and ideas to continue this, I will but do not hold me to that.
Anyways AU where Link's dad doesn't immediately get sent to eeby deeby because we missed out in the manga <3
+a transcript under the cut, not formatted exactly the way its meant to be read, but ij the order the bubbles appear.
Page 1: "Captain, Her Highness and Link were seen leaving the castle- towards the Sanctuary."
"That boy... well, we won't see them back here for a while then. I appreciate the report, but carry on as you were."
"What is this?! Who are you?! I know my son has left the castle!"
"Would it kill you to humor me a little?"
Page 2: "Still... I can't believe you don't recognize me."
"Or- On second thought, maybe I do believe it."
"After all..."
"We both know who your favorite son is!"
Page 3: "Are you the one behind all this chaos?"
"*He blew me off...*"
"And if I am? What are you gonna do about it? You can't beat me."
"Perhaps not, but I cannot idly stand by and let you continue this senseless destruction under my watch!"
"If you're stupid enough to actually try and fight me-"
"Dad!"
Page 4: "Did we make it? Is he gone?"
"Miss Fairy says he's gone! She scared him off!"
"Good riddance, I say."
"Link...?"
"Guys, focus. We need to check on Father."
"You're lucky we got here in time- Miss Fairy is the only one who could have chased him away."
"*Four of them...?*"
"Link- I mean boys, I'm fine. I'm more relieved to see you four in good health."
"Dad! Are you alright?!"
"Blue, I think he's gone- Miss Fairy scared him off."
"He could still be lurking around here Green-"
"We should go. Someone's bound to know what's going on."

I don't know if you're taking prompts or ideas but! If you'd like, this popped into my mind: Four/the colours around another link who just so happens to be colourblind
I take your hilarious request and raise you - what if Four himself is colorblind?
The palace hummed strangely as he reached for the sword in its pedestal. It felt like it had taken forever to get to this point, but now that the sword was in front of him, he felt a strange dread.
Shaking his head, Link reached forward and touched the sword, and it immediately started glowing and humming. Startled, he took a step back, but he couldn't release his hold on the hilt. His body felt like it was being pulled in a million different directions, his mind screaming and voices overlaying so loudly he wanted to pass out just to silence it. His breath was knocked out of him, and he dared to hope that he actually would faint, and his brain processed holding... four swords?
Four swords. Four breaths. Four hands. Four views of the palace, four--
Blinking, he looked around and screamed. What the--who was--
"Who are you?!" he yelled.
"Who am I?! Who are you?!" he yelled back.
There were--was this--
There were three more of him! They looked a little different by their clothes, wearing yellowish, and purpleish, and... yellowish.
Wait, but he was wearing yellow too! Or wait, no--he looked down and gasped in horror - now he had a purple colored tunic as well!
He stomped his foot. "What the actual hell."
Why was he suddenly--this was--okay, this was freaky, this had to be fake, he needed to fight these creeps!
Wait, no, maybe I need to just figu--
Fight! I need to fight! The aggression and fear was overwhelming, slamming into him and spurring him to swing the sword. One of the Links yelped and leapt out of the way while another deflected it.
"We need to figure out what's going on!"
He blinked. Wasn't he going to...? No! No, he needed to fight, this was a trick!
"Guys! It's called the Four Sword, maybe it--"
"There's no way it could possibly split me into four people, that's just completely impossible."
"It's magic!"
He huffed, tears stinging in his eyes. "It's stupid!"
He hated this. He hated this, he hated it he hated it--
"But, like, why am I wearing purple and so are you? Are we cursed?" the other purple one asked.
"Yeah, what the hell, why do you two get to be yellow!" Link snapped. Nothing made sense and nothing was familiar and he was altered and he couldn't even wear his clothes right?!
A yellow Link held up his hands to calm him down. "We can figure this out, okay?"
"No! This is stupid! I want this to stop!"
"I do too!" the other yellow one yelled, openly crying.
"But the legend says it took four people to stop Vaati," the other purple one said. "Maybe we can use this?"
"Are... are we ever going to be normal again?" Whiny Yellow asked.
Not Whiny Yellow looked worried. "I... I hope so."
"Okay, well, if we're doing this, we need to be able to coordinate," Other Purple said. "We'll need nicknames."
"Already got them," Link huffed, crossing his arms. "Let's go kick Vaati's butt so we can be normal again."
It took a good deal of time to figure out how they were supposed to work together, and it quickly became apparent that aspects of Link's personality were suddenly highlighted in different Quartered Links, nearly to an extreme degree that made it difficult for him to control himself. As they became less of a petrified mess and more of a team, a hot debate for nicknames started to break out.
"I am not Whiny Yellow!"
"Why can't you be Yellow, then we could call you Pissy."
"WHAT THE HELL YOU SON OF A--"
"DON'T INSULT OUR MOM YOU JERK!"
"Come on, it's like, so appropriate."
"IT IS NOT!!"
"Everybody, stop!" one of the Yellow Links said, holding out his arms. He cleared his throat and started pointing. "Smart Purple. Stupid Purple. Sad Yellow. Not Sad Yellow."
"I like Smart Purple," one of the purple pair said.
"This is ridiculous!" the other purple snapped. "We'll figure it out later, let's just get out of here!"
When the four emerged from the dungeon, they realized they really were terrified to go anywhere and reveal what had happened. Their father would have a meltdown.
Of course, that would imply they could keep such a secret from him. Which they could not. Because he was standing right outside of the dungeon.
Leon took a hesitant step back, eyes wide and confused. "Link...?"
Sad Yellow immediately started crying. "Father, we don't know what's going on, we just grabbed the sword and it did this to us, please don't be scared or mad at us please I--we don't know how to fix it--"
Angry Purple groaned, burying his face in his hands, wanting to punch Sad Yellow and scream. He didn't even dare look at their--his--their?!--hell if he knew.
"It's okay, it's okay," Leon quickly said, holding out his hands, but all the Links could see his hesitation in getting near them, and it stung. "We'll... we'll figure this out. At least the colors make it easy to distinguish you."
"What? No they don't!" Not Sad Yellow said, his face scrunched in confusion. "We have two yellows and two purples! We don't understand why we were picked with specific colors, but the purples are different from our usual yellow outfit."
Leon blinked. Then he blinked again. "Link... you're all different colors."
Everyone stared at him. "What?"
Slowly, their father pointed to each one, starting with Angry Purple. "Blue. Red. Green. Violet. None of you are yellow."
Angry Purple gawked another moment and then groaned, throwing his head back in annoyance. "You've gotta be kidding me. That dumb sword thought it was a good idea to differentiate us by freaking color?!"
Not Sad Yellow--wait, had Father said he was wearing green?--shrugged sheepishly. "Well... it's not like the sword knew we were colorblind."
"I almost forgot our tunic was supposed to be green!" Emo Yellow said thoughtfully.
Leon finally smiled, kneeling to be closer to their height and holding out his arms. "Well, you're all still my boys nonetheless. Let's get back to the city and see if we can figure this out."

Explaining how I see minish cap link as multiplying instead of dividing:
(All pictures I'll show isn't my gameplay,credits all belong to ZeldaMaster on yt.)
In the game,you have to step on those colored slabs(idk what those are)while holding the sword still. It shows that after you step on them,you get 3 more copies of yourself. FS and FSA are also copies but they have personalities,unlike the minish cap because you only multiply.
You move the same way,same colored tunic,same personality.
Here on this picture,we see that if Link goes through a door only fit for one person,your other copies dissappear. In FS and FSA,they don't dissappear,instead,they hit the wall and have to position to walk through.
Because the 3 copies of Link in minish cap just follows his lead on his left(or right),they have no mind,they're just a copy of Link.
In FS and FSA,they have personalities(if you choose multi-player of course) unlike the Minish cap.
In my point of view,Something must've changed the power of the Four Sword. The Four Sword's real purpose is to multiply yourself,not divide your soul into four different people that are you,but part of your personality. Maybe it's because of Vaati being sealed in the sword for so long,he must've cursed the swords purpose. I mean-- what else could've changed its purpose?
I'm still diving in,I hope soon I'll get to know it more.
