All of Us
Chapter One
Full Summary: Time is broken. No, shattered. Wait...it's been pulled apart? Ganondorf has gotten control of time through his imprisonment in the Sacred Realm and has now gathered every enemy across Hyrule's timeline with one sole purpose in mind. Kill the Hero. Once and for all. Links, Zeldas, and a mishmash of other characters are in for the biggest fight of their lives as they travel across multiple Hyrules and time periods to stop Ganondorf from destroying the fabric of their reality as they know it. Includes 10 different Zelda games.
Professor: Hello everyone and welcome to my story! This is an idea I've had for a while, but it has taken forever to get around to actually writing it. Anyway, before we begin, just a few things I wanted to say.
I will, sadly, not have a regular updating schedule for this story. I will update as often as I can and that's all I can promise. Please have patience. I also do not own any of the characters or worlds that you see in this story.
And finally, I want to give a huge thanks and shout out to two amazing authors here on . They have written their own versions of where the timeline collapses and all of the games come together and those stories are amazing. They both inspired me with this story and are allowing me to borrow some of their ideas (such as with characters and nicknames for the Links/Zeldas). Full credit goes to them in all aspects!
Ferngirl with her 'Shadows of Time' story. It is amazing and epic and features Shadow Link as the main character. Thank you so much!
ChangelingRin with her Dimensional Links story. This story is wonderful and hilarious and so full of personality and amazing writing. It is practically perfect. Thank you so much!
More credit will be given as their ideas/inspiration come into play in this story. But please, go and read their stories. Your Hylian fandom life is not complete without them.
If there was one thing that Ganondorf hated more than Link, Zelda, or his imprisonment, it was idiocy. Idiocy and incompetency.
But for the first time in his life, the idiocy worked out in his favor.
Oh he may be imprisoned, but that didn't mean he couldn't escape.
And those idiot Sages had locked him in with the very tools he needed to do so.
Ganondorf reached into the very fabric of the Sacred Realm itself, to the cracks in time that the Hero had used oh so many times, and pulled.
There was a very satisfying tearing sound.
Ganondorf smiled evilly to himself. He would be sure to take proper advantage of these new rips in time.
Link panted, out of breath from the battle. He leaned on the Master Sword, the point buried in the ground to support him.
It was finally over. Over and done.
Ganondorf was sealed away.
He glanced up, smiling at Zelda who couldn't help but grin back. Navi bounced around his head, doing her own version of an excited dance.
It was such a relaxed moment, one that Hyrule hadn't had for over 7 years. Because of that, Link felt that he was a little justified in letting his guard down and laughing a little.
Of course that was when fate had to step in.
The three of them fell, ripping away from one another as it felt like they were dumped into a freezing lake. The water was of a thicker consistency than he had ever felt before, spinning and pulling him in every direction, although somehow still allowing him to breathe. Whenever he opened his eyes he just saw blackness. And it seemed like eons had passed before he was allowed to surface.
Link tried his absolute hardest. With every fiber of his being he struggled and pushed and reached. Honestly, with how good of a swimmer he was, this should've been easy.
Only it wasn't. No matter how hard he tried, his friend stayed out of reach, waving goodbye to him sadly.
Link redoubled his efforts, determined not to leave the King behind in the flooded Hyrule.
But the Power of the Triforce kept pulling him and Tetra upwards, away from him.
Then, the strangest thing happened.
The Triforce broke, back into its 3 pieces. One simply disappeared while the other two reappeared upon his and Tetra's hands. Link looked at it in confusion before he noticed something else.
The water was getting darker. Rougher. Thicker.
Before Link knew it, he was falling through an entirely different kind of ocean.
When Linebeck got possessed by Bellum, he was put into a sort of trance. He saw everything, heard everything, felt every single movement. The guilt was eating him alive because he couldn't control his own actions.
When his little treasure hunter finally freed him, it was wonderful.
Snapping out of that trance was like taking his first full breath of air after almost drowning.
He fell away from Bellum with a smile on his face.
But he never stopped falling.
Ravio held onto both Sheerow and his bag of rupees as tightly as he could when he made the journey.
But instead of landing in Lorule like he had planned, he fell into some sort of dark thick liquid.
While the journey to Lorule felt incredibly similar to this, he knew, deep in his bones, that something had gone wrong.
The final blow on Majora had been incredibly satisfying.
The only issue was that Link didn't know if that was his emotion or the Fierce Deity Mask's.
This mask, out of all of the ones that he had, gave him the weirdest feeling he had ever experienced.
He both understood it completely, and knew that it was repulsed by him. This mask hated Link and longed to be away from him.
But at least it had killed Majora.
He took it off, going through the painful transformation once more.
He felt the effects of it go away, but he never felt his feet land in Termina like he expected.
Instead he was swirled around roughly, dark water flooding his vision as he fell.
Impa watched the gate close in front of her, leaving her alone with only Her Grace, sealed away in her amber colored crystal.
She didn't know any other person who had ever been in her unique situation.
To have the danger pass and yet still be very prominent.
She shook her head and decided to go to sleep. After everything that had happened, she was utterly exhausted.
She had barely been asleep 5 minutes before she was plunged into freezing blackness.
Byrne felt the spell's power rush towards him. He knew how deadly it was. He couldn't stop it. This was his end and he embraced it. He had done everything he could think of to fix what he had brought about.
But he never felt the spell hit. Not unless it was supposed to make him disappear into a rough, dark sea.
If Revali didn't hate Calamity Ganon before, he sure did now.
The evil swine had taken over the Divine Beasts, sending his Blights to kill the Champions.
Now this was normally something that Revali could handle with ease. After all, he was the greatest among the Rito Warriors and quite possibly the best of the Champions as well.
But, this Blight had taken over Vah Medoh and turned the machine against him. Even Revali had to admit that it was a tough battle. This was a Blight that was made specifically to kill him, utterly negating most of his attacks and learning as it went.
He dove through the air, narrowly avoiding another projectile, loading a bomb arrow as he went. He sent it towards one of the small robots that was getting too close for comfort. It exploded, destroying the pesky machine before it could harm him.
But that distracted him, letting the Blight get a hit in. It knocked into him, sending the Rito tumbling over the side.
And he tumbled right into a dark lake, which greatly confused him.
What kind of rough-water-lake was miles above Rito Village?
Midna's battle was over before it began.
Quite literally.
She sent Link and Zelda away, staying to face Ganondorf by herself. When she took out the Fused Shadows...that was the last thing she remembered before falling into an endless rough sea of thick, dark water.
Link and Ezlo watched as Vaati disappeared into a puff of smoke like all of their enemies did.
As it dissipated, the stone Zelda appeared behind where the evil Wind Mage had been.
Link's breath caught in his throat as he rushed towards her, desperate to finally have his friend back.
He stumbled on his fifth step, falling face first onto the floor.
Or, at least it should've been onto the floor.
Instead, he was greeted by thick, dark water that seemed to swallow him. It pushed and pulled him in every direction, tearing Ezlo away from his head and leaving him alone.
Professor: And first chapter is done! This is mostly just a small preview of the characters you can expect to show up. I showed at least one character from every game that I plan to include in this story. Hope you all liked it. Please review and tell me what you think!
