AUTHORS NOTES: I hope you enjoy this little bit of craziness, because I know I had fun writing it at 3:00 A.M. in the morning. This one features Breath of the Wild insanity, and I warn you, the Link depicted in this is actually pretty close to the one that the people in my game have to deal with… Many people have been driven to insanity because of him…many, many people. The horse included is actually one that I had for a while, and much of what is mentioned in this has actually happened with me in-game. She's a white-black paint with a white mane. The second portion was inspired by kellycfan, so you have them to thank for that part! The two sections can be summed up with horses and Koroks. Enjoy the insanity!

DISCLAIMER: Blah blah blah, I don't own this game though I do own the crazy stunts done by Link, and I also own many different horse names. So…many…horse names.


"And your name shall be Aldaeri, because you look like a cow, and thus, are all dairy."

The stable manager Lawdon gave him a funny look. The Wetland Stable did get some strange visitors, but this odd boy seemed to be a little…stranger than most. He may even beat Beedle, that one travelling merchant. "Sir, do you realize that this name will be permanently recorded by the stable, and that name-changes are not permitted? Because if you go through with this, you will be dooming this poor horse to a lifetime of cow puns."

Link nodded enthusiastically. "Of course I want to name her Aldaeri! I have to get my amusement somewhere, right? And I can only terrorize the people of Hyrule for so long before it starts to get boring! The explosions just aren't as satisfying anymore…"

The manager stared blankly for a moment, and then slowly backed away. "I'm just going over here now…to register your horse…and ignore your acts of terrorism against the people of Hyrule…"

Link waved excitedly at the man as he walked away to get the book of registry. "And make sure you spell it right! The pun shouldn't be too obvious on paper, but really obvious when heard!"

A faint reply came back. "Yes sir. Please don't destroy anything important…"

"Whoops! Too late!"

Lawdon paused, sighed, and slowly moved towards the entrance. He immediately regretted daring to look outside to see the damage. What he witnessed was best described as pure chaos.

Everything was on fire, there were several fireballs bouncing around, a herd of wild horses was stampeding through the stable (a few had bokoblins riding them), there was a flock of cuccos attacking everything, half of the nearby forest had been utterly decimated, a Hinox was stomping roughly five feet away from the stable walls, two strangely glowing bombs went off close enough to him that his poor hat was completely destroyed, bomb arrows were flying around from both the bokoblins on horses and a Lynel that had come out of nowhere, and best of all…

…Link was sitting astride a mountain buck swinging a spear (which looked to be of the Gerudo variety) in circles, wearing a strange mixture of Ganondorf's cape, Ravio's hood, and Climber's pants, and bellowing at the top of his lungs while charging the Hinox, "FOR ALDAERI!"

The poor stable manager noted distractedly that the horse had not survived the chaos, which would explain the sudden rage of Link. It would also explain why he was violently stabbing the Hinox's eye with the Gerudo spear and tricking the Lynel to shoot bomb arrows at its face. Ouch.

The manager fainted.

Meanwhile, Link was directly the entirety of the cucco forces into defeated the bokoblins, having already annihilated the evil Hinox and unwillingly helpful Lynel. The wild horses thankfully had not perished as poor Aldaeri had, though Link's loyal steed of a deer had been reduced to prime meat. The fires were all gone by this point, leaving behind little but ashes and soot around the stable. The forest itself had already grown back half of its trees, thankfully, so the stable would be able to make repairs. The massive horse head kind of…lost its jaw, and one of its ears. There was also an entire wall missing, and the entrance was full of scorch marks from both the explosions and the fires. They would have some repairs to do in the morning…


Ah, the epic climb the top of Hyrule Castle. So difficult, so painful…so worth it. The tallest spire of the castle is something of legend, and many are the people who have attempted to climb it only to fail due to a lack of stamina.

The difficulty of the climb is the primary reason for why Link was taken completely by surprise at the sudden appearance of a Korok.

There he was, climbing along, minding his own business, when a freaky thing appeared not even a foot away from his face screaming, "YA HA HA," at him! Naturally, he panicked.

The downside to panicking while climbing something is that it often leads to losing one's grip on the climbing surface, flailing, and screaming. Luckily for Link, after a moment of said flailing, he remembered that he had a Parasail, and promptly pulled it out to glide safely to the ground.

Of course, nothing else could go right from there.

A Guardian shot him right out of the sky, coincidentally hitting him just right so that he fell into the Sanctum. With Calamity Ganon.

He hadn't even entered one Divine Beast yet! All he wanted was his memory and to explore high places!

Evidently, Ganon (and his little Guardian friends) had other plans for him. And maybe the Koroks too, the things seemed evil enough and crazy enough to side with Ganon. They had been hiding for over 100 years in various, strange places…

Plenty of time for them to go insane, right? Some of them certainly had the leaf-faces of crazy people.

Ganon shot a beam at Link, angry that this annoying little pest was ignoring him for some foolish, asinine reason. The boy would pay for his insolence.

Far above the battle, a lone Korok floated, drifting in the winds. It laughed quietly to itself. A being such as itself cared not for the silly humans; it only cared for its own amusement. And amused, it definitely was by that strange creature down there.

"Ya ha ha!"


A/N: I think that I will never look at Koroks the same way after this. Those things are weird. I definitely preferred them in the form of the Kokiri, though I know they are technically the same thing. That's all for this chapter!
