    Summary

    (Some Heroes are Born, but You were Made)

    A collection of stories revolving around the idea that Wild(Breath of the Wild's Link), is very different from his past namesakes. These stories dive into the how and why of that difference as well as the emotional difficulties it brings our heroes.

    Wild in most of these stories does not possess the Hero's Spirit (meaning he's not technically the HERO. He doesn't have the Triforce of Courage, and the Master Sword doesn't recognize him as her wielder).

    Unless otherwise stated, all of these works are their own stand-alone pieces.

    Anthology containing:

    Wildling

    100 years after the Calamity, the body of the fallen hero rises once again, but the being who steps out of the Shrine of Resurrection is no longer Hylia's Chosen Hero. A new life born without the Goddess's blessing, created by magics old and forgotten, something new and impossibly different took its first breaths.
    Where the Hero of Courage once fell, the Wildling now rises.

    “What are you?"
    "A hero. Just not like you."

    ........
    AKA: Breath of the Wild Link isn't actually a "Link" blessed with the Hero's Spirit or even the Triforce of Courage. He's something much different though no less important in the grand scheme of destiny. Too bad the Chosen Heroes of the past decide to drag him into their mission before he can fully figure out just what he is.

    A Hero by Choice is Still a Hero

    Wild has always been a bit different from the other Links, this was a common fact among the group of time-traveling Links, but none of the past heroes could ever imagine just how different their newest member is.

    ......
    Another take on my favorite theory: Wild isn't the current holder of the Hero's Spirit.

    What Could Have Been (And Maybe Still Can Be)

    The newest Hero decides its time to have a few words with her 'predecessor'. What starts as a meaningless talk about their shared timeline and world soon dissolves into a much deeper and heated conversation about scars both thought long healed.

    ....
    AKA the one-shot about what would happen in the alternate Timeline where Renia(now known as the Hero of Dreams) joins the Linked Universe gang and has a little talk with the Wildling.

    Not Lost-Just Reborn

    Wild is an enigma even among a group of his past selves. He brings endless knowledge of a time so far from any of their own, a time of destruction, ruin, and loss. The other Heroes never thought that loss would stretch to Wild's people having completely forgotten the ways of magic too.

    Legend decides he's tired of watching everyone dance around Wild, and he's going to fix the problem at its root. But never in his wildest dreams did he expect what he finds when he confronts Wild.

    Songs of the Wilds

    Songs have been one of the common threads through the Hero's journey, as sure as the Hero's Spirit itself. But the newest hero-from a world of ruin-possesses no chosen soul, doesn't wield the Master Sword, and has never even heard of the Triforce. It's no surprise that the Chosen Heroes of the past deemed that songs wouldn't be part of his story, after all, he didn't even have an instrument to play!

    But not every song needs a tool to be sung.

    ...
    Or: Wild knows magic songs, but none of the other Links believe him.

    Curse of Reflection

    They should have known that mirror was cursed, but the Links' curiosity always won out over their common sense. Now each Hero is forced to take on the guise of a monster that best reflects their personal demons and fears.

    All... expect Wild that is. But Wild knows what he is becoming and he prays to every being that will listen that they can undo this magic before his transformation is complete, or the words of the curse really will come true.

    Wild will become the Hero's Bane.

    The Divine Calls

    All the Heroes of Legend were special in their own ways, but there was something about Wild that truly set him apart from his fellows. He could do something none of them could, something no one else could in all of existence. The Divine called to him and he answered them unafraid.

    "You can hear her?"
    "Always. Though sometimes I wish I couldn't."

    ....
    AKA: A collection of shorts/one-shots focusing around the idea of Wild's connection with Hylia as the only Link who can talk to her. (most of this is pretty fluffy despite the vaguely angsty summary)

    Wildling - The Lost Chapters

    [Though technically not required, it is highly recommended that you read the original "Wildling" before reading this work]

    In every story, there are branching pathways, possibilities that could have been. The story of the Wildling, the hero of the ancient and untamed, is no different.

    Here is a collection of a few of the possible choices, of stories that could have been. Of beginnings and ends that went unsaid, the lost chapters.

    Wilder Than You

    Wild might be the hero of the wilds, champion of Hyrule, and newest successor to the Hero's Spirit, but there is another that the wild, untamed, ancient things bow to. A Hylian who shared his face, with forest green eyes instead of ocean blue, unmarred by scars of wars past. A hero that was not Hylia's.

    He called himself the "Wildling".

    ..
    Or rather - a collection of one-shots centered around the idea of "normal" Wild meeting the Wildling. (Warning lots of these will be sad).
