comment
Dimensional Links is a Legend of Zelda massive crossover work written by ChangelingRin.The plot opens with Demise lamenting the complete uselessness of his hatred incarnations. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, he yanks them out of the timeline... leaving massive holes in the fabric of Space-Time where they were. Thankfully, our green-clad hero is always willing to help save the world... or rather, all eighteen of them are, if they'd just stop destroying everything they touch as well.The fic is undergoing a rewrite, in order to bring up the overall quality of the fic, but without changing the plot or major events.A version containing only the rewritten chapters can be found here.

comment
Experienced Protagonist: Some of the Links are more experienced than others, having gone through multiple adventures (or in Dusk's case, one extremely long one) though Lore takes the cake, having saved multiple countries - he's actually delighted when the others arrive, because Victory Is Boring. He's also arguably the most effective all-round fighter of the Links, thanks to his experience, the fact that he has an item for every situation, and his pure crazy. All things told, it's very fortunate that Bellum had no idea how to do more than basic puppetry when he possesses Lore.

Cloud Cuckoo Landers Minder: The other Links, especially Dusk, do this for Lore. On the villainous side, Twilight Ganondorf is reluctantly this to Zant, as he's just about the only one who can get him to shut up for five seconds (Majora can too, but its method mostly just replaces speaking with screaming) and can reliably interpret his babble.

The Dreaded
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_2ae29c0d
comment
The Dreaded: Demise, considering that he controls all the other villains and very nearly killed every single one of the Links without breaking a sweat, requiring a literal Deus ex Machina. Majora disturbs even Demise, and scares all of the other villains and pretty much everyone else bar only Oni. There is excellent reason for this. Regarding the above, Oni is treated with a certain wariness even by the other Links. Again, there is excellent reason for this - mostly, that Oni a.k.a. the Fierce Deity needs another Link to act as a conscience, since when he does fight, There is No Kill Like Overkill. Veran manages to scare even Demise into silence, from inside his own head. That takes some doing.

Ax-Crazy: Majora. Good God, Majora. Even the other villains - hell, even Demise - are creeped out by it. Zant is a more downplayed version, with Mask noting that he reminds him a bit of Majora. He just puts more focus on the “crazy” part.

Omniglot: Thanks to his travelling, Lore is fluent in five languages, at conversation level in three, and has picked up the basics (and the curses) of several more. He demands lessons from Ezlo in Jabber (well, initially he demands a Jabber nut, then on finding out they aren't available, he demands Ezlo, who compromises on lessons).

Resolved Noodle Incident: Early in Chapter 9, a "Rain Incident" is mentioned as having happened to Sketch. Later on, it's revealed at one point, Sketch had gone into the rain to solve a puzzle...but because his paint is watercolor, it started running and caused all sorts of Body Horror to Sketch, forcing him to de-merge and run for the nearest shelter until his body went back to normal. He's had a bad case of aquaphobia ever since.

Out of Focus
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_32da91b8
comment
Out of Focus: The author consciously tries to avert that kind of stuff. Dusk and Lore, due to their popularity, tend to get a bit more of the spotlight than the others, but every Link gets his own distinct personality and character moments. The villains mostly escape this too, since the way the story is structured means that each one gets A Day in the Limelight. That said, some of them (read: any large pig things named Ganon) have rather interchangeable personalities.

Official Couple: Dusk and TP!Zelda, with the former being a stuttering mess who is most certainly amenable and the latter cheerfully bullying her council of advisors into accepting her courtship of the Hero. Additionally, Wind/Tetra is implicitly confirmed by Steam realising that Aryll, Wind's sister, is his great-grandmother and that ST!Zelda is therefore his 3rd Cousin.

Destructive Savior: The Links. Quite a few of their battles end up wrecking the landscape around them. More than one Zelda has gotten annoyed by this, though when it's pointed out after the Past Ganon-Onox-Veran battle what they were up against, the local Zelda reassesses and thanks them for leaving the ground recognisable as... dirt. Fortunately, they've managed to prevent any bystanders from getting hurt.

You Fight Like a Cow
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_43844bd7
comment
You Fight Like a Cow: Unusually, both heroes and some of the villains use this to excellent effect. In the former case, it usually involves insulting nicknames and whatever insanity Lore's coming up with now (which is an entirely intentional distraction tactic) - he's also usually the source of the nicknames. Sometimes it gets varied, as Wind derides one of the Vaatis' wind magic skills. In the latter case, it's for a given value of excellent - Hyrule Ganondorf neatly manages to trick the Links into accidentally activating the Temple of Time and de-ageing them all by 7 years, leaving the oldest of them at 10, and the youngest at 3 or 4, which is excellent, while Ocean Ganondorf drives Shadow to enraged Angrish and even more violence.

As is pointed out, while Zant is completely nuts and treated as an utter joke by Demise and the other villains, he's got some extremely potent curse magic and serious magical stamina to lay it over the entirety of Hyrule. As Twilight Ganondorf notes, while getting him into an appropriate mindset for combat is difficult, it's generally worth it. However, as he also notes, Zant would be utterly terrifying if he was remotely practical. Which he isn't, thankfully for the sake of the heroes.

Aloof Ally: Oni a.k.a. the Fierce Deity, on the grounds that he tends to believe that the Links should figure things out for themselves and that Helping Would Be Kill Stealing. However, in exigent circumstances, such as the appearance of Majora or when Ocarina Ganondorf tricks the Links into deaging themselves by 7 years, leaving several as barely toddlers and even the oldest at only 10 (except for Shadow, whose appearance is largely a matter of choice). In the former case, he goes in hard, and in the latter he reluctantly involves himself to protect the younger Links (as they are his descendants), though he only acts defensively (though he does bend sufficiently to provide long range archery assistance, with their equipment).

Past Ganon, Veran and Onox. Previously, while they were used to fighting two bosses at the time, the Links merely split themselves in teams and took them on separately. However, those bosses planned their assault beforehand, and specifically set up a strategy to cover each other's weaknesses, opening with an Alpha Strike and barely leaving them room for a breather.

Jumped at the Call: Lore, who's been on "four-ish" adventures so far and doesn't at all seem to be astounded by the other Links. He even takes Dusk ditching leadership on him in stride. In fact, he's delighted, mostly because Victory Is Boring.

Villain Respect
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_543a0278
comment
Villain Respect: On his defeat, Twilight Ganondorf grudgingly admits that while he hates the Links, he has to commend their fighting ability - and Lore's mastery of "the deceptive arts", though given that this follows the words "and some of you lack any honour", that might not have been meant as much of a compliment. Lorule Ganon remarks approvingly that Hilda (Zelda's counterpart in Lorule), who was plotting to steal Hyrule's Triforce to fix Lorule out of a desperate desire to save her kingdom, came up with a good scheme and would fit in well with the other villains - Veran would apparently be thrilled to have another girl in the group. Lorule Ganon gets this himself from Demise, with one of the very few things he approves about any of his hatred incarnations being how Lorule Ganon reversed the Grand Theft Me that Yuga pulled on him.

Power Incontinence: The entire reason why Realm gets lost is because he has an innate magical connection. He just can't control it. It gets much worse once he invokes it and overtaxes it, to the point where he can't even take a single step without teleporting.

Eviler than Thou: Demise to all of his hatred incarnations. Lorule Ganon to Yuga (inverting Yuga's attempted Grand Theft Me is one of the very few things that Demise approves of that any of his hatred incarnations has actually done). Majora scares all of the villains, and even Demise is careful not to make it too angry, as he likes his mindscape functional.

Helping Would Be Kill Stealing: Oni's general opinion, since he thinks that they should work it out themselves and fight their own battles. He very rarely gets directly involved as a result, doing so exactly twice - and only once did he actually attack his opponent, acting completely defensively in the other fight.

No Sense of Direction: Realm. He got stuck in a volcano from a library, wound up on the same island in a lake in his Hyrule three times while looking for Death Mountain, and found a random cavern with a cow. And he pulls Wind into it too. Granted, part of it is aggravated by his Wandering magic, but it's made quite clear that his habit of getting lost is a him problem.

Meaningful Name: The Link from Skyward Sword is given the nickname Genesis, or Gen for short. Fitting, as he is in fact the genesis for virtually every other Link in the entire Legend of Zelda franchise to date, including ones that are not physically present, such as the Link from Breath of the Wild. As it turns out, though, this isn't quite true... in fact, Oni was the first, from the Skyward Sword prequel manga, and is faintly amused by the assumption otherwise. For his part, Gen isn't all that bothered.

Beware the Silly Ones
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_6c75e0e4
comment
Beware the Silly Ones: Lore seems to revel in being this, and when he's possessed it's pointed out that despite all his behaviour, he's probably the most experienced of them and could probably beat the hell out of them. When he gets possessed, fourteen other Links, several bailing on the fight against Ganondorf to do so, ganging up on him and the possessor is considered an appropriate response, and they consider the fact that they won was mainly because the possessor didn't know how to use Lore's skills yet. As is pointed out, while Zant is completely nuts and treated as an utter joke by Demise and the other villains, he's got some extremely potent curse magic and serious magical stamina to lay it over the entirety of Hyrule. As Twilight Ganondorf notes, while getting him into an appropriate mindset for combat is difficult, it's generally worth it. However, as he also notes, Zant would be utterly terrifying if he was remotely practical. Which he isn't, thankfully for the sake of the heroes.

Establishing Character Moment: Midna sees the mysterious portal, sees Link investigating it, then decides that it'll be hilarious to throw him through, before bagging up the curse stone (that allows him to transform into a wolf at will) and throws it after him. Oni's. He tells Mask that his job is essentially to point him at what needs hitting and say how hard he wants it hit, before informing one of the other Links (who's worried for Mask, who Oni is essentially possessing) that he doesn't want to hurt him and that his target is Majora (who's been flattening the Links), but for his own safety, he should get out of his way. Sensibly, the other Link does.

Cuteness Proximity: Red elicits this quite frequently (and almost invariably intentionally) through his 'cute puppy' impersonation, leaving a number of characters cursing their weakness to cute puppies. It gets to the point where he weaponises it during the fight against Veran, who's rendered unable to function through sheer Cuteness Overload. Aryll is so ridiculously cute that she elicits this from all the Links. When Wind says, voicing the concerns of the group, that they need to move on with saving the universe, she gets upset that he (and all her new big brothers) have only been around for one day. Every single Link - which by implication includes Shadow - promptly caves like wet paper. It's so effective Red starts taking notes on how to improve his puppy impersonation. The youngest de-aged Links get this, much to their dismay, because they are about three or four at most, and ridiculously cute. Midna also finds Dusk's wolf-puppy form adorable - and hilarious.

Eventually, however, he manages to corral them into helping on the grounds that he's going to make each of their enemies suffer.

Humanoid Abomination: Shadow. Given that he's made entirely of Shadow magic, his shape and appearance are largely a matter of personal choice, becoming positively eldritch when sufficiently angry. However, at baseline he does have to copy the hero, and spends a considerable amount of time as Dusk's double (Dusk has Seen It All and is largely unfazed), before mimicking a rather aggrieved Gen, and finally taking the latter's suggestion to make a unique appearance from a mixture of the various Links' traits.

Regarding the above, Oni is treated with a certain wariness even by the other Links. Again, there is excellent reason for this - mostly, that Oni a.k.a. the Fierce Deity needs another Link to act as a conscience, since when he does fight, There is No Kill Like Overkill.

Not So Above It All: Dusk is usually by far the sanest and most sensible of the Links, and the last to get side-tracked. Except, apparently, for that one time he wasted three months running around looking for golden bugs.

Heroic Lineage
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_97838192
comment
Heroic Lineage: Some of the Links and Zeldas are directly related to each other - Wind is Steam's great-great uncle and great-grandfather of Steam's Zelda via Tetra, the two founding New Hyrule, something Steam figures out when he meets the 8 year old version of his great-grandmother Aryll, meaning that Steam's Zelda is his 3rd cousin. Meanwhile, as in canon, Ocarina and Mask are ancestor(s) of Dusk, though it's unclear whether they've realised it yet. More generally, it is also heavily implied that Gen and his Zelda found the royal family.

The villains mostly escape this too, since the way the story is structured means that each one gets A Day in the Limelight. That said, some of them (read: any large pig things named Ganon) have rather interchangeable personalities.

Lore seems to revel in being this, and when he's possessed it's pointed out that despite all his behaviour, he's probably the most experienced of them and could probably beat the hell out of them. When he gets possessed, fourteen other Links, several bailing on the fight against Ganondorf to do so, ganging up on him and the possessor is considered an appropriate response, and they consider the fact that they won was mainly because the possessor didn't know how to use Lore's skills yet.

If Zant's showing signs of sanity, it means that he's focused on something, and considering that he's the main reason that Dusk's Hyrule was covered in Twilight and completely nuts, this is not good.

Sanity Has Advantages
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_ae1723af
comment
Sanity Has Advantages: Ganondorf (all of them) and Veran are the only villains who actually bother to plan their battles against the Links. They also come far closer to winning than any of the other villains. Twilight Ganondorf actually laments the lack of this in Zant's case - as the rewrite demonstrates, he's incredibly dangerous when he actually focuses (though getting him to focus is a trial by itself), but even then, he still grabs the Villain Ball (if he'd attacked the Links while they were adjusting to their Cursed transformations, he could have killed more or less all of them. Instead, he decided to creepily vanish into the darkness).

Alternative-Self Name-Change: Each of the Links gets a name based on the dimension or time period they came from. The one who assigns the nicknames is Red from "Four Swords" who did the same thing in the manga adaptation of the same game. Four Swords Adventures Links: Green, Blue, Red, and Vio (as found in the manga) Spirit Tracks Link: Steam The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link Link: Realm Twilight Princess Link: Dusk The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass Link: Wind A Link Between Worlds Link: Sketch A Link To The Past, Link's Awakening and the Oracle series Link: Lore Ocarina of Time Link: Ocarina Majora's Mask Link: Mask Four Swords Links: The Four The Minish Cap Link: Speck Skyward Sword Link: Genesis, often shortened to "Gen" There is an additional Link called "Oni". In this story, he is the Link that died in the Skyward Sword prequel manga and was placed in the Fierce Deity mask.

Genius Bruiser: Ganondorf, as in canon.

Shout-Out: Speck nearly trampling a Picori village causes one of the inhabitants to holler "Greenzilla!" Apparently, it's a local legend...guess the guys who made the legend couldn't use the real name because of inter-dimensional copyright laws. When the villains are playing their Most Common Card Game, Zant thinks they're playing Yu-Gi-Oh!. He even references card games on motorcycles. When Demise notices mushrooms while walking SS Hyrule, Zant suggests he eats one based on a fourth-hand story of a plumber using "giant shrooms to defeat a spiky dinosaur and save the Princess". Chapter 55 has the Links discuss Vaati's interest in pretty girls, and Ocarina suggests multiple reasons why Vaati may have kidnapped Zelda besides her being pretty. One of his proposed explanations is "a prophecy about an unholy match between a demon and a princess," which Blue promptly points out.

This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself: As part of his Figure It Out Yourself philosophy, Oni refuses to fight the Links' battles for them, barring the canon exception of fighting Majora. He makes another exception when the Links are de-aged and half of them are too young to fight, but only a partial one - he does not directly attack, but parries Ganondorf's attacks away from the youngest Links, and eventually grudgingly provides some archery - though only with their equipment.

'Everything' includes Shadow running around looking like a palette swap of him for months on end and living in his actual shadow - all Dusk does is warn him that Midna's got it decorated to her liking and that if he messes about with it, or with Dusk himself, he'll have to answer to her.

The Gods Must Be Lazy: Somehow "averted" seems too tame of a word to use. The plot kicks off when Demise, finally free of the Master Sword, decides to take matters into his own hands by absorbing his Hatred Incarnations, ripping several temporal rifts across the three timelines and beginning The End of the World as We Know It. The Three Goddesses of Hyrule take immediate action by bringing virtually every version of Link to date together, including the Link from Skyward Sword, the one responsible for Demise's defeat in the first place, together.

Pass the Popcorn: Din and Farore just before the Links show up to take on Demise.

Composite Character: Oni is a combination of the Fierce Deity and the Link from the Skyward Sword prequel manga.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Realm stops his quest when he finds Ganon's minions running for the hills and completely ignoring him. When Dusk shows his rarely seen Alpha side, a) something very serious is going on, b) even Shadow backs down. If Zant's showing signs of sanity, it means that he's focused on something, and considering that he's the main reason that Dusk's Hyrule was covered in Twilight and completely nuts, this is not good.

Oh, My Gods!: Naturally, the Links use the Three Goddesses, the aforementioned Goddesses use themselves, and the Hatred Incarnations use Demise.

One-Steve Limit: The Links start using nicknames to refer to each other to avoid confusion. The different Ganons and Ganondorfs also put together a system - though theirs involves significantly more fighting and insults.

Bridezilla: Invoked by Four's Zelda. Since Vaati kidnapped her and wanted to marry her immediately, Zelda, in an attempt to stall for time until she was rescued, started picking fights with him over each and every tiny detail of the wedding, up to and including colour coordination of the napkins with the bouquet. Fortunately, her plan was successful and the Four arrived to save her before the wedding.

Wake-Up Call Boss
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: Happens In-Universe a few times, and it typically marks the villains getting smarter and tougher to fight. Twilight Ganondorf pretty much runs circles around the Links, giving then a brutal and lengthy fight despite fighting alone. Past Ganon, Veran and Onox. Previously, while they were used to fighting two bosses at the time, the Links merely split themselves in teams and took them on separately. However, those bosses planned their assault beforehand, and specifically set up a strategy to cover each other's weaknesses, opening with an Alpha Strike and barely leaving them room for a breather.

Dude, She's Like in a Coma: TP's Zelda is found unconscious in the throne room when Zant disappears. Kissing her awake is among the suggestions that the guards throw out to wake her. For added hilarity, they try to recruit Link when he arrives.

Ambiguously Related
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_f6dc47f7
comment
Ambiguously Related: The sheer resemblance between most of the Links makes it pretty clear that they're all probably related somehow (Aryll sees them all as a whole clutch of new big brothers), but given the distance in time between them and timeline splits, it's not entirely clear how - for the most part. It's also occasionally implied that some of the Zeldas are related to some of the Links, too. As per canon, Ocarina/Mask is the ancestor of Dusk, though it's not clear if any of them has figured that out. On the other hand, on meeting Aryll, Steam realises that she's his great-grandmother and that Wind is therefore his great-great-uncle and, incidentally, the great-grandfather of his third cousin, his Zelda, by Tetra.

 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_f6f2ff1
comment
Insult Backfire: A mild variation. Midna teases Dusk about his feelings for TP's Zelda in front of the other Links. Since most of them have (or have had) crushes on the Zeldas of their own worlds, none of them hold it against him. She grumbles that teasing a Link in front of other Links was a bad idea.

Victory by Endurance
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_f962d8a3
comment
Victory by Endurance: Realm, due to regularly being chased by monsters with no horse or vehicle, has a ridiculous amount of stamina compared to the other Links when it comes to running around, being able to do it for hours with no issue (to the point that he's surprised that the other Links can't run for hours like it's no time at all). His introduction has him outrun a four-headed dragon to the point that it gives up in exhaustion, and in several of the fights he and the other Links have had his role basically amounts to running around and drawing fire from the villains.

Running Gag
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Some Links tend to be standing in a bad spot just as others are coming through the portals. Characters commenting, either mentally or aloud, on the lack of originality with the Four Swords Adventures Links' nicknames. Realm getting into increasingly absurd situations due to lack of directional sense. Mask and Ocarina's struggles with time travel, tenses, and potential paradoxes, due to being the same Link from different points in his own timeline. Blue Breaking the Fourth Wall, and getting beaten up by Vio and Red (and occasionally Shadow, who knocks him out cold) for it. Red's 'cute puppy' look, which has practically every character subjected to it inwardly cursing their weakness to adorable puppies. He actually learns to weaponise it. Cuccos being evil incarnate.

Team Dad
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_fb9e0265
comment
Team Dad: Dusk, interchanging with Gen. Gen's the one who's always fretting about enough healing potions, and learning to cook Wind's grandmother's soup in order to carry something a bit tastier that heals people. Dusk, meanwhile, tends to be most protective of the other Links, particularly the younger ones (as at least one Ganon has found out the hard way), and most empathetic, acting as a mediator between Gen and Lore as the de facto third member of the leadership.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Dimensional Links (Fanfic) / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: All of the Links to a more or less extent (as in canon), but Dusk especially. In his own words, he prefers to be a Beta. While he eventually grudgingly accepts that he's part of the leadership (as the moderating influence between Gen and Lore), he prefers to be the Team Dad in the background. Accordingly, the other Links see his Alpha side only intermittently, but when it does show up, even Shadow is intimidated by it. Then there's what he casually does to the Shadow Beasts, and to Past Ganon.

Alternate Self: Hoo, boy where to start... we have at least eighteen different versions of Link (nineteen counting Shadow Link/Dark Link), at least a couple Zeldas, several different Ganons/Ganondorfs including Demise as the Big Bad. Heck, even Demise's Hatred Incarnations could be considered alternate selves of the Demon King.

Lorule Ganon remarks approvingly that Hilda (Zelda's counterpart in Lorule), who was plotting to steal Hyrule's Triforce to fix Lorule out of a desperate desire to save her kingdom, came up with a good scheme and would fit in well with the other villains - Veran would apparently be thrilled to have another girl in the group.
