The Hyrulian Valhalla Saga

Four Pillows Adventures
The Heroes knew combat like the back of their hand; when fighting was the only option, they would all gladly rise to the challenge, for the need to survive, protect, and conquer had been etched into their very souls. That was why they proudly walked into battle, their weapons held high... even when those weapons were actually pillows.
Red did a back-flip off of the couch's arm, skillfully dodging an instrument of white, fluffy death. "Missed me, Vio!" he laughed, sticking his tongue out at his opponent when he landed.
Vio smirked. "You're good, Red." He leapt off of the couch and approached the other Link in an attempt to back him into a corner. "But I'm the smart one, remember?"
When his backside hit the corner of the room, he startled and turned his head. "No!" cried Red, "I've been cornered! Blue, help!"
"Blue can't save you now!" Vio swung the pillow again, and it smacked Red right in the side. With a sound that was half a yell and half a giggle, Red clutched his "wound" and fell dramatically to the ground.
"I've been hit!" he announced, "Blue... go on without me...!"
Blue, who was attempting to hit Green with his own pillow, cursed to himself. "I'll tell your next of kin that you died a hero," he said sarcastically as he continued swinging at his foe.
"But Blue," chuckled Red, "you are my next of kin!"
Green laughed, skillfully sidestepping Blue's attacks. "So are me and Vio!" He lifted his pillow to block Blue's. "Okay, Blue, you're next! Don't think you can stand a chance against - "
He was interrupted by a very real and very sharp arrow entering an open window, piercing his pillow, whizzing past his shoulder, and embedding itself into the wall behind them. The pillow-wielding warriors froze in place, staring at the arrow in shock. After a moment of stunned silence, Green went over and pulled it out of the wall. There was a piece of paper tied to it, which he opened up and read.
"It's Mini's handwriting," he said, "and I think we made him mad."
Blue glanced over his shoulder. "'Shut up, some of us are trying to sleep'!?" He scoffed. "He doesn't even need sleep, he's dead!"
"I didn't know we were being that loud!" said Red, sitting up. "We should keep it down so Mini can sleep."
"I agree," said Vio. "The next time, it may be a bomb he tosses through the window instead of an arrow."
Green gulped. "Good point. H-Hey, I've still got that deck of cards... we could do that instead."
The other personas agreed and halted their pillow fight. For now, anyway.
